1. The years have passed, and the seeds of misfortune have been planted in the "double reed play"!
Looking back on 2008, Beijing was bathed in the brilliance of the Olympic Games. As the chief director, Zhang Yimou is under great pressure, aiming to find the best interpretation of "Singing the Motherland" pure and pleasant children's voice.
For this reason, he resolutely decided to start a nationwide selection journey.
After months of arduous selection, the director finally locked on two excellent little girls - 9-year-old Lin Miaoke and 7-year-old Yang Peiyi. Born into a family of artists in Beijing, Lin Miaoke has shown extraordinary artistic talent since childhood.
She is lively and cute, excellent at singing and dancing, and she is even more calm and confident when facing the camera, while Yang Peiyi comes from an ordinary family, quiet and well-behaved on weekdays, and the only thing that catches the eye is the beautiful voice that is fascinating.
Faced with these two little girls with their own characteristics, the director fell into a difficult choice. Lin Miaoke has an outstanding appearance, but her singing voice is a little bland; Yang Peiyi has a unique voice but an ordinary appearance. As a director, he naturally aspires to take the audio-visual feast to the extreme, but neither of them has been able to achieve the perfect balance.
Just as the director was thinking hard about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and decided to stage a "double reed play" - let Lin Miaoke lip-sync in front of the camera, and Yang Peiyi dubbed and sang behind the scenes.
So, in the finale performance on the day of the opening ceremony, Lin Miaoke, who was dressed in a red dress, danced with a beautiful singing voice, attracting the attention of audiences around the world and instantly becoming a household name.
The audience applauded, and she had a bright smile on her face, completely unaware of the danger.
From that moment on, the fates of the two girls were destined to go in very different directions. As opportunities followed, the seeds of misfortune were also quietly planted. Soon after, the lip-syncing incident was exposed, and Lin Miaoke's aura of "the proud girl of the sky" collapsed instantly.
Second, the fate is different, one climbs, one falls!
Today, Yang Peiyi has grown into an independent musician, and with her outstanding strength, she has bravely overcome obstacles on the road of music. She often holds solo music festivals, which are full of people, which is undoubtedly the highest praise and recognition of her musical talent.
And Lin Miaoke, who used to be the "heroine of the opening ceremony", has now lost its former glory and has fallen to the point where no one cares. In the year she graduated from high school, she took the entrance exams of many art colleges and universities with great hope, but unfortunately only one ordinary Nanjing University of the Arts reluctantly gave her an admission letter.
This process of falling from the pinnacle of brilliance to mediocrity has undoubtedly made Lin Miaoke's life go through a magnificent and dramatic journey.
To understand why Lin Miaoke is in such a situation, we must go back to the shocking "double reed incident". When the lip-syncing scandal was revealed, Lin Miaoke was fiercely attacked by public opinion, and her originally dazzling aura of "the proud daughter of the sky" instantly disappeared.
Netizens have accused her of being just a "thief" who gained fame and honor through dishonorable means.
However, as Lin Miaoke's mother, Lin's mother has a completely different view and plan on this. She still has an overconfident attitude towards her daughter's singing talent, and arranged for Lin Miaoke to sing "Singing the Motherland" again at an awards ceremony, trying to clear her daughter's grievances.
However, the attempt did not produce the desired results, and instead attracted more criticism.
In the face of all this, Mother Lin completely lost her way and began to embark on a wrong path. In order to earn money, she accepts all kinds of ridiculous business offers, completely disregarding her daughter's public image.
The young Lin Miaoke showed off her charm on the stage, and even spoke for infertility, which made the audience feel extremely sad and angry after watching it.
3. Huge differences in family backgrounds Mothers' educational concepts are mixed
The fundamental reason for such a disparity in the fate of the two girls is that there is a huge difference in their family backgrounds and their mothers' educational concepts. Lin Miaoke was born into a family of artists in Beijing, where her grandfather and uncle were nationally renowned painters, and her father was an acclaimed photographer.
In such an artistic family environment, Lin Miaoke has shown extraordinary artistic talent since she was a child, she is cheerful and versatile, whether it is dancing to the music or humming a moving melody, her gestures reveal an innate agility and loveliness.
When the energetic daughter walks out of the wonderful life path, the parents of the Lin family must be pampered by her, and they devote endless expectations and nurturing to her. They gradually focused on Lin Miaoke's unique talent in the arts, carefully selected various hobbies such as dance and vocal music, and worked tirelessly to shape her into a versatile and impeccable daughter.
In addition to her outstanding artistic talents, Lin Miaoke has attracted attention with her sweet face since she was a child, and has been praised by everyone many times. This unique appearance made her fortunate to participate in the filming of two TV series when she was young, showing a fearless camera, calm and confident demeanor, and can be called a natural "child star".
Therefore, when the world-renowned director Zhang Yimou visited her in person, Lin's mother was naturally full of eager expectations and did not hesitate to regard her daughter as a key link on the road to success.
However, Yang Peiyi was born in an ordinary family. Her parents, who were just ordinary working-class people, did not pay much attention to and support their daughter's love of music, and they knew that the most important thing was to study hard and get into a good university.
However, Yang Peiyi was born with a moving singing voice, which was well received in the school, and it was with the teacher's strong recommendation that she was able to participate in the city's singing competition and won the championship in one fell swoop, which attracted the attention of director Zhang Yimou.
In the face of Director Zhang's warm invitation, Yang's father and Yang's mother were initially resolutely opposed. They do not want their daughter to get involved in the complex disputes of society too early, and they do not have a deep background in their own family, so they are deeply afraid that their daughter will be hurt and bullied.
However, Director Zhang always insisted on his own opinion, and the staff visited him many times, and after repeated persuasion, Yang's father and Yang's mother were finally moved and reluctantly agreed to this decision.
It can be seen that there is a huge difference between the two mothers' judgments and expectations for the future of their children. Lin's mother sees Lin Miaoke as an opportunity to realize her dream, while Yang's mother hopes that her daughter can keep a low profile and concentrate on her studies.
This fundamental difference undoubtedly foreshadows the very different life paths of the two girls in the future.
Fourth, we look back in time to open the long-forgotten perspective of 2008, when Beijing, the capital of China, was immersed in the warm atmosphere of the grand opening of the Olympic Games.
As the chief director of the opening ceremony of this grand ceremony, Mr. Zhang Yimou, in order to create a breathtaking finale performance "Singing the Motherland", he forgot to sleep and eat, day and night, looking for the best children's singer who can perfectly interpret this song.
After months of hard work and unremitting pursuit, director Zhang Yimou finally found two little girls full of potential - Lin Miaoke, who is only 9 years old, and Yang Peiyi, who is 7 years old. Lin Miaoke was born in a scholarly family, born beautiful, and her face is delicate; Yang Peiyi comes from an ordinary family, and her appearance is a little ordinary, but her crisp and melodious voice is uniquely charming.
Faced with these two children, each with their own strengths, director Zhang Yimou fell into a dilemma. Lin Miaoke is beautiful and moving, but her voice is a little flat; Yang Peiyi's voice is outstanding, but her appearance is slightly inferior.
As a director, he naturally aspires to make the most of both visual and auditory pleasures, but neither seems to have reached the standard of "perfection", which makes the choice extremely difficult.
Just when director Zhang Yimou was worried about this matter, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and decided to implement an ingenious "double reed play" - let Lin Miaoke wear a red dress and stand in the center of the stage, while Yang Peiyi sang affectionately for her behind the scenes, and jointly completed the finale of the opening ceremony.
So, on the day of the opening ceremony, director Zhang Yimou's "adventurous move" finally paid off. On the stage, Lin Miaoke danced with the heartstrings of singing, and her singing like a natural sound deeply attracted the attention of the global audience; Under the stage, Yang Peiyi hid behind the scenes in a low-key manner, using her pure and flawless voice to "synchronize translation" for Lin Miaoke.
In this way, a thrilling "double reed play" was grandly staged on the stage of global attention.
From that moment on, the fates of the two little girls began to go in very different directions. While opportunities followed, disasters also crept in.
Fifth, the personality collapses The mother is selfish and loses her mind
After the lip-syncing incident was revealed, Lin Miaoke was fiercely attacked by public opinion. Netizens questioned and condemned her, saying that she was just a "thief" who "stole the achievements of others" and gained fame and honor through dishonorable means.
Overnight, her former image of "the proud daughter of the sky" was like a bright bubble, unreservedly shattered in the face of cruel reality.
However, Ms. Lin, who is Lin Miaoke's mother, has a completely different view and decision on this matter. She firmly believes in her daughter's talent in the field of music, and stubbornly believes that Lin Miaoke is enough to make everyone surrender with her unique voice.
In order to prove her daughter's value, she carefully planned a re-performance of the award ceremony, and asked Lin Miaoke to sing the classic song "Singing the Motherland" live.
Unfortunately, Lin Miaoke's performance did not meet Ms. Lin's expectations, but was unremarkable and did not win any praise. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow, and Ms. Lin suffered an unprecedented setback.
However, instead of learning from this failure, she fell into confusion and began to act blindly.
In order to obtain more financial benefits, Ms. Lin accepted almost all business offers, completely ignoring the fact that her daughter was still an underage. The young Lin Miaoke was forced to frequently appear on stage and even endorse infertility, which made many viewers deeply saddened and indignant.
A child who was supposed to be full of vitality and innocence was pushed astray by his biological mother to pursue selfish interests.
What's even more shocking is that when Lin Miaoke was only 13 years old, she actually began to play an intimate couple role with middle-aged male actors in TV dramas, which made the majority of netizens extremely angry at Ms. Lin's behavior.
As the guardian of the child, she was supposed to escort the healthy growth of the child, but she did not hesitate to pursue the value of "money first", completely abandoning the basic duties and moral code that she should fulfill as a mother.
