In 2008, when the Beijing Olympic Games were approaching, Director Zhang was faced with an unavoidable problem - how to choose a suitable little girl to sing "Singing the Motherland" at the opening ceremony to show the enthusiasm and confidence of the Chinese people to the world.
After layers of screening, the two little girls stood out and became the final candidates for Director Zhang.
One is Lin Miaoke, a little princess with a prominent family. Her father was a photojournalist, her mother was a university professor, and her grandfather was a calligrapher. is different from the childhood of ordinary children, she has been nurtured by her mother since she was a child, and began to shoot commercials and movies to prepare for entering the entertainment industry in the future.
A proud woman of the sky, confident and flamboyant.
The other is Yang Peiyi, a girl from an ordinary family. Her parents are both from science and engineering, and they like to enjoy music programs at home on weekdays, and occasionally find that their daughter's singing voice is extraordinary.
In a school singing competition, Yang Peiyi's talent was discovered by Director Zhang, and she also embarked on the journey of her dream. A modest and shy little girl.
Two girls from different worlds, one was born in the flowers, and the other came from the ordinary, but they collided with dazzling sparks in Director Zhang's selection, and thus connected to very different life trajectories.
They are all the brightest stars screened by Director Zhang, but they are destined to experience different baptisms of life.
At the opening ceremony, Kobayashi stood in the center of the Bird's Nest like the protagonist in the play, becoming the focus of hundreds of millions of viewers.
Her sweet smile filled the big screen, and her heavenly singing voice resounded in the sky. The audience erupted in warm applause and cheers, and on this grand night, Lin Miaoke completed a beautiful "debut".
In just one song, she became a well-known "national diva" and "China's first child star". The glory of that night illuminated the stage of this little girl's life, and she gained the love of people from all over the country.
However, the good times did not last long, and on the third day after the opening ceremony, an internal staff revealed to the media that the singing voice that conquered the audience while standing on the stage actually came from another little girl named Yang Peiyi.
For a time, the "No. 1 child star" who caused a sensation in the country became the "Queen of Lip-synching", and the storm in the field of public opinion made this girl who had just turned 9 years old at a loss. She and her family can no longer have the hard-won peace and are tightly bound by the label of "liar".
A "double reed" performance carefully planned for Director Zhang was originally intended to perfect the stage effect, but it ruined the original lives of the two families overnight.
Unlike Lin Miaoke, who was on the stage, Yang Peiyi, who was "robbed" of the opportunity, was not complacent because of the exposure.
She, like her parents, was caught off guard by Director Zhang's sudden arrangement. Yang Peiyi, who only participated in the audition with a musical dream, was pushed to the forefront of a huge storm, and she and her family were not ready to face the storm of the media.
In order to protect their daughter's return to a peaceful growth, Yang's parents decided to strictly protect her. Yang Peiyi left the crowded city of Beijing and returned to her hometown to avoid the pursuit of the media.
At first, Yang Peiyi was afraid of the eyes of the outside world, panicking like a frightened bird. She didn't dare to mention the sensational performance to anyone, for fear that it would become a barrier between her and her classmates.
However, when she returned to school, her loving teachers and friends did not treat her as a different child. They warmed her with tolerance and care, so that the wounds in her heart slowly healed.
Under the care of her parents, Yang Peiyi gradually regained her love and courage for music. She started anew, with a peaceful and positive attitude, and firmly established her music dream.
Unlike Yang Peiyi, who chose to be silent, Lin Miaoke's life did not stagnate after the "lip-synching", but opened a dazzling but difficult new chapter.
Under the control of Lin's mother, Lin Miaoke continued to develop in the entertainment industry, frequently appearing in various TV shows and commercial performances. She is like a puppet subject to human beings, allowing her mother to dispose of her life.
In order to make her daughter famous and make money, Lin's mother unscrupulously packaged and marketed, pushing a young child into the showbiz surrounded by wolves. Lin Miaoke's role is no longer innocent and cute, and commercial packaging and showmanship have replaced innocence.
On the road of pursuing traffic, Lin Miaoke's image and the quality of his works have gradually been controversial. Her over-the-top performances, age-inappropriate roles, and her mother's control of her schedule have all made Lin Miaoke the target of fierce public criticism.
She crawled around in the entertainment industry and lost herself in Vanity Fair. Until she was admitted to the drama school, Lin Miaoke seemed to have found an opportunity to regain herself, and also saw the dawn of realizing her dream of being a real actor.
Those appalling negative news will be the driving force for her to move forward. Lin Miaoke may eventually shine on her own stage.
Time flies, 15 years pass in a snap of a finger, Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi are on the same stage again, and they are no longer what they were back then.
In 2020, the two of them sang a public welfare song together, Lin Miaoke's voice is still lively and moving, and Yang Peiyi's singing voice %] has changed from a girl to a mature woman.
The sensational "lip-synching" has become a piece of the past on their way to growth. Lin Miaoke was admitted to the Southern Drama Academy as she wished, and it can be said that she is one step closer to her acting dream.
Yang Peiyi did not give up music, and formed her own small band, which can perform the music she composed at will.
They have finally found their way to life. A "double reed" once exchanged their fate trajectories, but they were not trapped in the past, but broke out of their cocoons into butterflies, and finally found their own flowers.
There is no chance of a new life in life, and we cannot predict everything that will come in the future. In the face of the impermanence of life, only by moving forward bravely can we see the dawn of hope. The story of Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi continues, but they are no longer victims of fate, but masters of their own lives.
This also reminds us not to be defeated by the momentary wind and waves, as long as we have a dream in our hearts, we can find our own sky.
This "fake singing door" incident may give us some inspiration in our lives:
1。 The test of fate is everywhere, and what we need is inner strength. Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi were both lost in criticism, but they both found themselves in the end.
In the face of injustice, we still need to maintain positive energy and rationality.
2。 A parent's love for their children needs reasonable boundaries. Lin's mother's control almost made her daughter lose herself, and the care of Yang's parents made her daughter regain her dream. Parents should give their children room to grow.
3。 No success can be built on the suffering of others. Director Zhang's approach is controversial, and we can't do anything to achieve the goal.
4。 Be brave enough to chase your dreams, but don't rush blindly. Youth requires passion, but it also requires rational thinking to find the most suitable path for one's life.
5。 Ups and downs temper life, and we can all find our own sky. The seemingly ordinary life will also shine in perseverance.
Although the past cannot be repeated, as long as we have justice and kindness in our hearts, we can all get out of the predicament and find happiness. The story of Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi is not over, there are many more nameless girls chasing the light, and we need to give them help and encouragement to make every life shine.
Although we cannot foresee the future, if we have hope, we will eventually move towards the light.
