From Gong Li to Zhou Dongyu, as long as you have been broadcast on demand by Zhang Yimou, it is like taking the express train of fame. In the entertainment industry, you can almost kill everyone. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a name that can last a lifetime.

"Mou Girl" has always been the golden signboard in the entertainment industry.

From Gong Li to Zhou Dongyu , as long as you are broadcast by Zhang Yimou on demand, it is like taking the express train of fame.

In the entertainment industry, it can almost kill everyone.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a name that can be used for a lifetime.

But among the many puzzle girls, there are two exceptions.

They have all been discovered by Zhang Yimou, but in the end, they have not become the traditional girls.

One is Lin Miaoke , who has been deeply involved in the "lip-syncing" storm for many years.

One is Wei Minzhi who was persuaded to withdraw because of "ugly".

01, both controversial and famous

In 2008, Lin Miaoke stood on the stage in red.

has a sweet smile and a crisp singing voice.

That year, she was 9 years old and became the focus of the world.

Lin Miaoke started performing on stage at the age of 2.

8-year-old partner with Wang Zhiwen , and 9-year-old partner with Tao Hong . At a young age, he has gained a certain reputation among child stars.

In 2007, Zhang Yimou's team was looking for child stars everywhere.

But after selecting thousands of photos, I still couldn’t find the right person.

until he saw Lin Miaoke's photo.

Invitation, interview, completed in one go.

No matter how people nowadays evaluate Lin Miaoke.

But at that time, her image was sweet, her temperament was generous, and her psychological quality was stable.

Among all the children, she is the best.

Even today, many people are questioning Lin Miaoke's appearance.

thinks she is not that pretty, and it is incredible to be selected.

But many people may not know very well how good psychological qualities are needed to complete the performance with generous cameras in the gymnasium of 10,000 people.

Especially children's performances, there is great uncertainty.

for example.

Lang Lang Once performed with a Li Muzi child at the opening ceremony four-handed play .

But halfway through the conversation, the child said, "It's too hot, not fun" and he's going to end.

Lang Lang was scared and sweated in a cold sweat. He coaxed and deceived the child and completed the performance.

Afterwards, Lang Lang said: That was the most panicked performance in my life, no doubt about it. I kept saying, I beg you, I will buy you candy and eat

Anyone with a little experience in filming filming will know that during shooting, the two most difficult factors to shoot are "children and animals."

because it is uncontrollable.

What's more, the fault tolerance rate is lower at the Olympics scene.

Therefore, Lin Miaoke was selected, which has a great relationship with her calmness and stability beyond her age.

But no one expected that this would become a shackle for her later development.

and Lin Miaoke also chose a girl named Yang Peiyi .

Lin Miaoke has good performance on the spot and is calm.

songs can be sung, not bad, but they are not as good as Yang Peiyi.

Yang Peiyi is also very well-behaved and has very good voice conditions.

is accurate and has strong penetration.

Directors are also comparing these two children repeatedly.

But Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi don’t know all this, nor are they very clear about it.

They are just two children who are less than 10 years old.

For a long time before the opening ceremony, they were training very hard.

Both children are constantly training and rehearsal.

Until the first rehearsal with makeup, the directors watched the effect of the scene and made a decision.

Use Lin Miao to stand in front of the stage and let Yang Peiyi sing behind the scenes.

After the rehearsal that day, Yang Peiyi went to the recording studio to record the songs, and she was never arranged to rehearsal again.

Zhang Yimou himself does not agree with this approach.

At the discussion scene at that time, he also said that Lin Miaoke would sing by himself. Anyway, there would be a chorus later, so these few sentences would not be accurate.

is not a big problem.

But the broadcasting team believes that sound is very important when broadcasting.

insists on using "sound replacement".

Finally, Zhang Yimou respected the opinions of the technical team.

But what was unexpected was that this incident was announced to the public by the music director not long after. It’s not impossible to publish

like this, but he has no room for buffering for both children.

Both Lin Miaoke and Yang Peiyi were caught up in the public opinion storm.

But to be honest, Yang Peiyi was a somewhat introverted girl back then.

After the opening ceremony, she went to Hong Kong to perform programs.

sounds crisp and extremely penetrating, just like the sound of nature.

But she was a little shy back then. She performed well on a small stage, but she really felt a little timid on a large stage.

However, when she was 13 or 4 years old, typhoon was very good, and it was atmospheric and natural.

But that's a few years later.

In comparison, Lin Miaoke's stage performance is indeed much better.

Yang Peiyi's family is very good. She lives in Haidian and has a wealthy family. Their parents trained her along the way to be a typical "Haidian mother". After the opening ceremony of

, I signed an agency and started working as a professional singer, attending party and recording singles.

Elementary and middle schools are both famous schools. After graduating from middle school, you will naturally go to famous American schools to study abroad. During this period, you can play music and enjoy life. Everything is fine.

is also a semi-professional singer now and has not been buried.

But Lin Miaoke's life afterwards seems to have entered a vicious circle.

Like Lin Miaoke, Wei Minzhi's fame is also full of accidentality.

The first half of her story is the same as Lin Miaoke.

Wei Minzhi was born in 1985. In 1993, Zhang Yimou made the movie "No one can miss casting".

has also been auditioned for a long time. After reading countless photos of girls of appropriate age, I couldn’t find a suitable one.

Finally, Zhang Yimou made a bold decision.

enables non-professional actors.

The film crew arrived at the shooting location and began to promote it, hoping that local 13 or 4-year-old children will come and try it.

That day, after Wei Minzhi fed the pig, she went with her sister.

Wei Minzhi's sister is a little shy, but Wei Minzhi is very bold and cheerful.

Zhang Yimou asked the children on the scene to try a scene: standing at the entrance of the village to shout.

The other children were embarrassed, but she was not scruples and shouted until her throat was hoarse.

Although she can’t sing and dance, Zhang Yimou still made the decision on the spot and used her.

Under Zhang Yimou's training, Wei Minzhi, who did not know how to perform, quickly became popular with ", no one can be missing ".

Of course, because her appearance is too simple, she is also called the "ugliest trick girl". After filming the

film, Wei Minzhi was found in many programs.

At that time, Wei Minzhi actually wanted to enter the entertainment industry directly.

But Zhang Yimou and Wei Minzhi talked once.

He told Wei Minzhi that you are not good-looking enough and are not good at performing. No matter what you want to do in the future, the first thing you need to do now is to complete your studies.

Wei Minzhi and Lin Miaoke both became famous by chance.

But after becoming famous, they took a completely different path.

02. Lin Miaoke's entertainment circle, Wei Minzhi went to school

Because of the lead singer, Lin Miaoke's fame is somewhat of a mixed meaning.

In order to protect her, her parents did not let her watch any news for a long time, nor did they let her know what the outside world looks like.

created her a "vacuum" living environment.

But even so, Lin Miaoke still received a lot of bullies in school because of this.

But on the other hand, out of a mentality of wanting to prove that her daughter is actually very good, her mother began to frequently take on business activities for her.

In order to manage her daughter well, Lin Miaoke's mother even quit her job as a university teacher.

She was also attacked for no reason because of premature development.

even rumored that she was with her drink and was with her meal.

In order to protect her, her mother managed her social media and kept rectifying her name.

But because of her business level and her short-term profit, the job she takes is of varying quality, giving people the feeling that she is hungry.

2-year-old even endorsed a product related to infertility under the arrangement of her mother. What's more, her mother would ask for an additional 200 yuan when she arrived at the scene.

and even the host complained: "This child will not be well in the future."

Although the host did not name it, there was only one child in the pick-up activity at that time, that was Lin Miaoke.

In short, under the control of my mother, Lin Miaoke had a strange state.

is both naive and mature. She has a kind of old-fashion that is inconsistent with her age, but because she has not been in contact with society for a long time, she has a kind of naive and stupidity that is almost indescribable.

This very inconsistent temperament made her starry journey begin to become bumpy.

includes Chen Xiaoyi , Pu Cunxin have all made suggestions on her temperament and behavior.

But many things are already in the bones and are difficult to change.

More importantly, because there are too many extracurricular activities, Lin Miaoke's grades can only be considered to be moderate or inferior.

And Wei Minzhi completely retired from the circle and went to study after listening to Zhang Yimou's words.

Chairman of Shijiazhuang Elite Middle School Zhai Zhihai , after watching "No One Can Leave" I was very moved.

I learned that Wei Minzhi wanted to study but had no money, so she invited her to study at her school. Not only did she have no tuition, she also gave her a living allowance of 300 yuan.

and arranged jobs for her sister and mother.

completely solved her family's livelihood problems.

After she went to the city to study, she slowly changed her appearance.

learned Mandarin , and gradually became able to dress up, and the plateau redness on his face faded.

Because no one disturbs the economy, he is still a little celebrity.

Wei Minzhi's middle school life is very comfortable.

But her passion for acting in her heart has not been erased, she just never told anyone.

After graduating from high school, her family suggested that she pass the normal school entrance examination so that she can find a job in the future and find a partner.

She did not agree and quietly applied for the director major.

She thought, if she was not good-looking, she couldn't be an actor, so she could be a director.

However, her grades and qualities are not enough to support this dream.

She failed the exam as expected.

Zhang Yimou also knew about this.

This time, he did not persuade her to leave, but encouraged her.

Seeing Zhang Yimou's affirmation, Wei Minzhi made up her mind to be director.

03. Lin Miaoke missed his head, Wei Minzhi’s dream came true

In 2017, Lin Miaoke graduated from high school.

She applied to many art colleges without surprise.

has acted in many TV shows, and being famous is her advantage.

But what was unexpected was that she failed to pass the three colleges and universities, including Beijing Film Academy, , Central Academy of Drama, and Zhongyin.

Finally, I entered the performance department of Nanjing Academy of Arts .

with a halo and was not admitted to any art school, she became the target of ridicule for the crowd.

Her strange style, old and young, and her overly mature outfit, could not be accepted for a while. She is that beautiful little girl.

When it is even more regrettable, she worked very hard after entering Nanyi.

but there is never anything that can be shown.

From just entering school to graduating in 2021, she seems to be in a state of no play to act.

Someone discovered that she even went to variety shows to be a supporting role to play for others.

Wei Minzhi's grades are also average, and it is also difficult to apply for a school with Central Academy of Drama or Beijing Film Academy .

At this time, Xi'an Foreign Languages ​​College Xiying Film and Television Media College took the initiative to extend an olive branch like her.

Not only that, they also proposed that as long as Wei Minzhi was admitted to their university, the tuition fee would be exempted.

When we learned that the school also has a director major, Wei Minzhi agreed.

years later, she entered the school with 460 points. study.

After entering the school, the school gave Wei Minzhi a lot of opportunities and helped her become an intern director in her sophomore year.

Any activities in school will be considered first.

host, reception, etc., she is the first choice.

At an event, she met Chinese American Dr. Chen Ergang.

Chen Ergang is a professor at Bihan Yang University and attaches great importance to education. When he held a theme conference called "Don't let a student fall behind" in Hebei, he thought of Wei Minzhi of "No One Leaves".

learned that Wei Minzhi was from Hebei, and he sent an invitation to Wei Minzhi.

Learning that Wei Minzhi had gone to Xi'an, he chased him to Xi'an to communicate with him

Chen Ergang was very interested in Wei Minzhi's experience. In 2007, Chen Ergang said that he could recommend Wei Minzhi to study at his school, Brigham Yang University.

In order to prevent Wei Minzhi from worrying, Chen Ergang took the initiative to propose to contract all her tuition fees.

That's it. Two years later, Wei Minzhi entered the media and television major at Brigham Young University in Hawaii.

After entering the school, Professor Chen took good care of Wei Minzhi, and Wei Minzhi quickly adapted to the school.

With the encouragement of Professor Yang, she participated in many clubs and activities.

As a result, she also met Liu Jinhui, a Chinese American.

The two got married and had children shortly after they met.

In order to support her career, Liu Jinhui came to China with her.

Wei Minzhi filmed "The Daughter of Miracle" based on her own experience.

From a pig feeding girl to an independent director, Wei Minzhi has completed the process of changing her fate against the will of heaven.

But Lin Miaoke is not as anxious as before.

She began to learn to sing and draw.

shows the other side of your life.

Without those extra decorations and expressions, she looks more like a 23-year-old normal girl.

is just in comparison, she really opened high and closed low.

05. The situation is very different

Although Lin Miaoke and Wei Minzhi both have a connection with Zhang Yimou, the degree of "benefiting from" between them is completely different.

To be fair, Lin Miao is not ugly.

The photos of her being with her classmates are lively and cheerful, not old-fashioned.

Even if you act together on stage, it doesn’t feel uneven.

Although her figure and temperament do have shortcomings, she is not useless.

But since she was 9 years old, she has suffered a lot of inexplicable malice.

And her mother created a safe but dangerous living environment for her.

She is extremely mature in some aspects. She can speak in a coquettish manner very young, perform consciously and even please the public.

But in some aspects it is simple and terrible. She has no idea how to communicate with the public, nor has she known the true face of the world today.

She doesn't even have a correct understanding of her appearance.

She has always wanted to act and has never lost weight.

This makes her head and body very strange.

Although her fame began with Zhang Yimou, her subsequent life had nothing to do with Zhang Yimou.

In comparison, although Wei Minzhi is far away from the entertainment industry in the eyes of the public.

But every step of her life actually borrowed Zhang Yimou's "light" to a greater or lesser extent.

Because of her low-keyness, she accidentally avoided a lot of disputes.

gets the benefits of fame, but avoids the disadvantages of fame.

In addition, Wei Minzhi's heart is much more firm than Lin Miaoke.

Although Wei Minzhi was half-pushed all the way toward a smooth road.

But she insisted on at least two things.

does not seek quick success and participate in various programs in the short term.

No matter where you are, always insist on learning to direct.

From the beginning, these two persistences helped her avoid detours.

This is also the reason why she has been praised all the time.

In contrast, Lin Miaoke has always wanted everything.

I don’t want to give up my fame, money, or study, but in the end I have nothing.

Mind development has not kept up with age.

But after so many years and so many things, she seems to have begun to grow up.

She faced the malice from the outside world, without the strong resistance of her mother.

She also took it lightly for the overwhelming ridicule after failing the art exam and announced the news that she had not passed the exam.

Even though the outside world keeps mocking her, she still shares her life.

After so many attacks, she has not even spoken badly to anyone.

Her acting career is still not perfect.

Her paintings are also very tender.

But she was 23 years old later, and the future is still long for her.

I hope that one day, like Wei Minzhi, she will be pushed to the smooth road of the future by fate.

I hope these two girls with certain fates will be better in the future.
