In 1999, after Princess Returning Pearl was broadcast, she also began a singing career with her first album, a five track EP.

In 2007, she has said she would like to get more involved in movies.[1][2]

Her English name is from her mother's love of the jewel.[3]


Early life

Lin was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. Her father was a businessman, and her mother is a housewife. She is the eldest daughter who has two younger brothers one is a year younger, one is six years younger. [4] After her parents divorced when she was 7 years old, she lived with her mother. Her mother took her to visit relatives in Japan every year since childhood.[5] She graduated from Ri Xin Primary School, and Zhong Dian High School.[6]Originally she planned on going UK to study after high school graduation, never considered the prospect of an acting career. However Lin's acting career started when she was seventeen, as a part-time advertisement model. Her first TV commercial was for Jasmine Tea. [7]

Her parents did not like the idea of their daughter being involved in the entertainment industry.[5]. But Ruby Lin decided to pursue an acting career. After appearing in commercials for many products, her parents finally agreed to let her sign with an entertainment management company. Following high school graduation, Lin officially contracted with Jessie and Jones Entertainment Ltd,[8] on her twentieth birthday. She has also helped reconcile her parents.[9]

Career

Early work (1994-1996)

After shooting her 1st TV commercial, she got the attention of various TV and film directors and many companies started soliciting her for jobs. [10]In 1995, after shooting some commercials, Lin finally received her first role in a film, School Days, with Jimmy Lin and Takeshi Kaneshiro. That same year, she was also casted in some Taiwanese TV dramas in some supporting roles. From 1995-1997, Lin had roles in a few Taiwanese TV series and people started to take notice of this new face. In 1996, Lin went to China for the first time to do filming. Lin thinks that this was a period of valuable experience and a time that she just started to learn about acting.

"I was in my second year of high school when I first got involved in film & TV industry. When I first got the script of the film "School Days", I couldn't sleep for days. I thought there would be other opportunities for me to study abroad, but one does not bump into the opportunity to be in a film every day. So, I just went and had a try. I told myself that if my filming career didn't work out, then I could still go back to school. But things are not always as they may have appeared to be. Only when the actual filming started, did I realize that it wasn't as easy as I had thought. At that time, it was a film taking place in a school. I played a leader of my class. In a scene, I needed to sort of give a command to my classmates, stand up, stand at attention (with the rest of the class) and salute to the teacher. It took about 10-20 tries ! I was so scared and worried that the director might scold and shout at me. The feeling of frustration was quite big."[11]

Growing up (1997-2001)

After playing minor roles in various series and films, Lin was selected by the Taiwanese famous writer Chiung Yao and had an audition for a main role for the new TV drama Princess Returning Pearl. In 1997, Lin surged to the top as an emanating star through her well-loved "Princess Ziwei" role in the TV series Princess Returning Pearl, appealing to massive audience throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Originally, Chiung Yao arranged for Ruby Lin to play the role of "Sai Ya", but as the actress who was originally arranged to play the main role could not participate, the production team re-shuffled all the actresses again. After some deliberations by the company, they thought that Lin's makings were more suitable for "Zi Wei", and immediately made the final decision.[5]After this series Princess Returning Pearl was broadcasted, it enjoyed the highest ratings in China, and Lin quickly rose to prominence.[12]

""After it was decided that I played the role of Zi Wei, I got the script only three days before I had to leave for filming. I was reading and crying at the same time, Why are there so many lines? In my previous roles, I never had that many lines, probably like about one or two lines or so in each response, as those were perhaps only small roles! And that was also the first time I was leaving my native place for such a long time for filming and I had to overcome the challenges of being in an unfamiliar environment. (Taiwan Cover story Interview in 2001)"[5]

After rising to prominence, she continued to star in a number of successful television series. In 2000, She worked in Hong Kong TVB's big production Duke of Mount Deer 2000 with Dicky Cheung, Shu Qi and many other big names artists. In this series, Ruby Lin acted as 'Princess Jian Ning', a sassy and funny girl, showing that she has what it takes to portray a cute and cheerful princess successfully, turning away from the nice and sweet image she had earned from her role in Princess Returning Pearl. Consequently, after starring in another Chinese blockbuster series Romance in the Rain which was written by Chiung Yao, Lin was voted as the Top Ten Most Famous Asian Superstars for two consecutive years (2000 and 2001).[13] Same year, she also selected 4th place "Malaysia 2001 Heavenly Kings & Queens".[14]

As Lin felt she had achieved all she could in television, she went on to star in a few movies in Hong Kong. In 2000, Lin filmed 3 movies in Hong Kong. In 2001, she worked on the action movie China Strike Force with Aaron Kwok and Taiwanese singer and actor Lee-Hom Wang. Although Lin was only in a supporting role, she said it was a learning experience for her. With those Hong Kong movies, she counter-attacked the Hong Kong market.[12]

Stardom (2002-2005)

From 2002 onwards, Lin has focused on her career in mainland China. In 2002, she starred in 3 series - Half Life Fate (or in PinYin, Ban Sheng Yuan), Boy and Girl and Flying Daggers. Lin was selected as the main actress in the TV version of Half Life Fate (adapted from Zhang Ailing’s novel Eighteen Springs) The film version of Half Life Fate (film) was directed by Ann Hui, a well-known director in Asia. For Lin, it was a challenging role; therefore the pressure was especially huge.

"From all the characters that I have played in, there's a series that gave me the biggest pressure -- "Ban Sheng Yuan", because the entire story's ups & downs [fluctuations] were extremely big and I had experienced a great deal of tribulations. Even compared to my prior acting experiences, I had put in more heart & effort in interpreting this character [role]. At that time, the pressure was just overwhelming (Interview on June 25, 2003)

Lin's hard work yielded even better results than expected. Her daring performance escalated her fame and earned her many accolades for capturing her screen character Man Zhen’s 14 years of arduous life. This series was broadcasted in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even in South Korea[15] That same year, Lin participated in a modern romantic TV series Boy and Girl. This series was broadcasted to the whole of China by CCTV and got the highest view rating among all series aired in 2003. [16]Her fame was further enhanced through this popular TV series. With this series, Lin was selected Top 10 actress of the year and among those 10 actresses, she was the only actress from Taiwan.[13]Also in the same year, she participated in an ancient martial arts TV series Flying Daggers which was based on Gu Long's novel. In it, Lin not only acted in a martial arts series for the first time, but also greatly changed the type of character she usually portrayed, changing from a gentle damsel to a cold assassin. Those 3 TV series above were released in 2003 in various countries, proving to be a successful year for her. Though Ruby Lin focus on filming TV series, she also keep starred some movies. Lin participated on adventure drama movie Life Express with Richie Ren. In 2003, Ruby Lin worked with Francis Ng and Anita Yuen in romantic comedy filmLove Trilogy.It was relatively successful in China.

2004 productions, such as Amor de Tarapaca, co-starring Korean actor Han Jae Suk, began a popular trend of successful China-Korea collaborations. Lin has been involved in another original Korean screenplay, Magic Touch of Fate, co-starring Taiwanese actor Alec Su and Korean idol KangTa. This series is the highest budgeted mini series ever made in Asian modern television industry to date. At this point, Lin had been in the business for almost a decade with nearly non-stop filmings. She had always wanted to go back to school to live the life of a student. Especially since the time during high school, studying abroad had always been her dream.[5] In the 2004 winter after finishing filming Magic Touch of Fate, Lin fixated on self-improvement and decided to go to New York City to study language and acting for three months. While she was there, Lin studied English at Embassy CES[17] [18]and performance at the New York Film Academy.

In February 2005, coming back home (Taiwan) with a new passion for acting, Lin starred in four mega-produced Chinese Series, Paris Sonata, Sound of Colors,[19] Star Boulevard,[20] and Da Li Princess almost back to back. For her role in Paris Sonata, she had to learn how to play piano more than 2 months before filming. Following her performance in Paris Sonata, she selected TV drama Sound of Colors in a remake of Jimmy Liao's illustration as her next work and portrayed a blind radio DJ. Lin's performance as a blind girl got many favorable comments from audiences. Some news reports and reviews even say that this is one of her best acting among all her previous works. [21][22] This drama has already been broadcasted in many countries/regions including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and United States. Other 2 television series Star Boulevard and Da Li Princess are expected to be released in 2008.

Preparing New Start (2006-present)

Lin's first 2006 television series is titled Ancestral Temple. In this series, she has not only unchained the shackles of idol seriess but has also successfully played this brand-new role with depth and opened a new page for her acting career.[23]After three months of filming in Huang Shan, China, the series was completed at the end of October 2006. Its release is unscheduled, but it has been said that it will be broadcasted CCTV 1 in 2008. On June 6, 2006, Lin won the Honorable Award of Taiwan's Most Popular Actress in the The 2nd Chinese TV Drama Award[24]ceremony in Beijing, China. And she has also been listed TOP 10 China artists many times in major and influential research polls. Those award results showed Ruby Lin as one of the most successful actresses in the contemporary Chinese acting industry.[25]

At the end of 2006, Lin bid farewell to her agent company Zhong Jie after a 10 year relationship and quietly signed with Hua Yi Brothers Film and Television group (華誼兄弟影視集團). Hua Yi Bros[26] is currently the largest management and domestic movie-making company in China. On 30 November 2006, in an extravagant ceremony, she officially signed with Hua Yi as her management company.

A few days after, the Para Para Special Edition was also released. Both albums earned several awards from the Hong Kong music industry. After those two albums, she began focusing more on her acting career. Lin is contracted for 4 albums with BMG, but has little time to continue her singing career. As a result, in 2004, BMG decided to release the soundtrack for the television series, Half Life Fate, in favour of having Lin record a third studio album.

[31][13]At the end of 2004, Lin's contract with BMG expired.[32] After being approached by several labels, she did not sign a record contract till the end of 2006.

There was no other way, I had change the numbers In regards to the overly excited fans, I want to appeals to everybody that they must be rational when star chasing.

Personal life

Love Affair & Friendship

Although Lin has attempted to keep her relationships private, the media has made many speculations about her personal life such as scandals with her co-workers and friends. After the start of her acting career, she went out with Taiwan actor Jimmy Lin when they first filmed School Days movie in 1995 until when she was filming Princess Returning Pearl in 1997.

In 2006, they appear publicly together on a Taiwan show "Kang Yong's family" (Chinese: 康永當家; pinyin: Kang Yong Dang Jia)years after the breakup, expressed that distance was the reason for the breakup. It was the first time appearing on the same stage after the breakup. [43]At this show, they finally openly talked about their former relationship.

Both of them still remain good friends even after their break up.[44]. Whether there's a possibility of getting back together, both said "impossible.".

Currently, Lin claims to be single and said, "I am presently very satisfied with my life and very satisfied with everything that I have right now the word marriage is still too far away"[46]

According to Lin,

"In this business sometimes it's really hard, even for yourself, to determine which kind of relationship is true love. Let's say you are shooting a movie abroad & just so happens there's someone you can talk to, to mutually look after one another. You would feel that you've found a person you can depend upon, couple that w/ the plot of the movie, it's very easy to be confused. It's impossible to clarify what kind of relationship it is. But in the end, it's definitely when the movies disperses, so do the people.(Miss Fashion magazine August 2004)

Not only friends from inside the entertainment circle, Lin still keeps in contact with many of her old friends from younger days. According to Lin, "Friends play a very important role in my life. Fate is indeed a very marvelous thing. We had also known each other for 18 years. Transforming from naive little seeding to charming women, going through numerous difficulties/obstacles in the process. So as to have the unshakeable friendship today" (From Ruby Lin's personal blog)[47]

[50] For prominent contributions to charity, Ruby Lin awarded the "Outstanding Contribution to Charity Award" at the China Fashion Award (CFA) in 2007.[51]

Personal quotes

"Each actor who cooperated with me, would afterwards shout loudly, "I have been deceived!" My screen image and real-life image are completely different, they all said that I'm like a guy. When looking at the script they can fantasize, but when they see me, they don't fantasize anymore." (June, 2003 Chinatimes)

"If talking about the beginning, was very raw, didn't know too many things. Now, can say that I'm slowly adapting to a life in this business. I'm a person who needs a sense of freshness. It's to say to seek something new from the roles. I treat work very diligently. This perhaps is my biggest strong point." (April, 2004 Henan News)

"Even though there are a lot of people who still call me ziwei, but I don't mind. And not afraid of being typ-casted because will have different changes at each age level & each stage in life. Perhaps afterwards would do some sort of a series/movie, might again have another title." (July, 2004 Bazzar magazine)

"I also hope that everyone can go forth with their dreams, don't let yourself have opportunity for regrets." (April, 2005 @live)

"I think that if actors want the audience to remember, then you must have your own style and characteristics. I'm also working diligently to create my own style." (Nov, 2005 Dushi Shi Bao)

"I think that a similar role can be performed in 100 different ways, along with age, experience, the feeling towards life and the understanding of life deepens, the presentation of that feeling is different" (July, 2006 Life Style)
