Ruby Lin (born January 27, 1976 in Taipei, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese actress, pop singer and producer. Her English name is from her mother's love of the jewel.[1]

Lin made her acting debut in a TV commercial in Taiwan. When she received her first experience in front of the camera in 1995, for a minor role, she started to develop a passion for acting. In 1997, after playing supporting roles in various Taiwanese TV dramas, she took her breakout role as a leading actress in the television series Princess Pearl and its sequel, Princess Pearl II. In 1999, after Princess Pearl was broadcast, she also began a singing career with her first album, a five-track EP.

Lin has acted in a variety of roles, such as the sassy Jian Ning princess in Duke of Mount Deer 2000, the cruel assassin Cai Yue in Flying Daggers (2003), the gentle-natured Man Zhen in Half Life Fate (2003), benevolent & intelligent queen in Schemes of a Beauty (2010) and spunky tomboy Sun Shangxiang in Three Kingdoms (2010). For her achievements in films and television series, Korean media dubbed her Taiwan's number-one actress and goddess of ancient Chinese series.[2]

In 2010 Ruby Lin announced the establishment of her own company, Ruby Lin Studio. Taiwan media reports that the company will deal with all aspects of the actress's career, including acting, singing and film roles.[3]

Early life

Lin was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan, the eldest of three children, having one brother a year younger and the other, six years younger.[4] Her father was a businessman, and her mother a housewife. After her parents' divorce, when Lin was seven years old, she lived with her mother, who took her to visit relatives in Japan every year.[5] She graduated from Ri Xin Primary School and Zhong Dian High School.[6] Lin originally planned on going to the UK to study after high school graduation, never considering the prospect of an acting career. However, she began her acting career at age seventeen as a part-time model. Her first TV commercial was for Jasmine Tea.[7]

Lin's parents did not like the idea of their daughter being involved in the entertainment industry,[5] but she decided to pursue an acting career. After appearing in many commercials, her parents finally agreed to allow her to sign a contract with an entertainment-management company. Following high school graduation, Lin joined Jessie and Jones Entertainment Ltd[8] on her 20th birthday. Over the years, she has also helped her parents to reconcile.[9]

Career

Early work (1994–1996)

After shooting her first TV commercial Lin caught the attention of TV and film directors, and many companies began seeking her for roles.[10] In 1995, after shooting some commercials, Lin received her first role in a film (School Days, with Jimmy Lin and Takeshi Kaneshiro). That same year, she was also cast in supporting roles in Taiwanese TV dramas. From 1995 to 1997, Lin had roles in several Taiwanese TV series, and began to attract notice. In 1996, Lin went to China for the first time to film; she considered this a period of valuable experience and a time that she began to learn about acting.

"I was in my second year of high school when I first got involved in film & TV industry. 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."[11]

Breakthrough (1997–2001)

After playing minor roles in various series and films, Lin was selected by Taiwanese writer Chiung Yao to audition for a main role in the new TV drama Princess Pearl. In 1997, Lin achieved popularity as the beloved Princess Ziwei in the series Princess Pearl, appealing to large audiences in mainland China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Southeast Asia. Chiung Yao had originally arranged for Lin to play the role of Sai Ya, but since the actress scheduled to play the main role was unavailable, the production team re-shuffled the female cast. After some deliberation, the company thought that Lin was most suitable as Zi Wei.[5] When Princess Pearl was broadcast it received the highest ratings in China, and Lin 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. 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 Princess Pearl, Lin starred in a number of successful television series. In 2000 she worked in Hong Kong TVB's production of Duke of Mount Deer 2000 with Dicky Cheung, Shu Qi and other well-known artists. In this series, Lin played Princess Jian Ning – a sassy, funny girl. This role demonstrated her acting range, since it differed from the nice, sweet image she had developed from her role in Princess Pearl. After starring in another Chinese series (Romance in the Rain, written by Chiung Yao), Lin was included in the Top Ten Most Famous Asian Superstars for two consecutive years (2000 and 2001).[13] The same year, she was selected in fourth place in "Malaysia 2001 Heavenly Kings & Queens".[14]

As Lin felt she had achieved all she could in television, she also appeared in three Hong Kong films in 2000. In 2001, Lin appeared in the action movie China Strike Force with Aaron Kwok and Taiwanese actor-singer Leehom Wang. Although Lin had only a supporting role, she considered it a learning experience. With these Hong Kong films, she made inroads into the Hong Kong market.[12]

Mainstream success (2002–2005)

Since 2002, Lin focused on her career in mainland China. In 2002, she starred in three series - Half Life Fate (Pinyin: Ban Sheng Yuan) (adapted from Zhang Ailing’s novel Eighteen Springs), Boy and Girl and Flying Daggers. Lin was chosen for the female lead in the TV version of Half Life Fate; the film version was directed by Ann Hui, a well-known Asian director. For Lin, it was a challenging role and she was under pressure.

"From all the characters that I have played in, there's a series that gave me the biggest pressure -- "Ban Sheng Yuan"" (Interview on June 25, 2003)

Lin's work yielded good results; her performance enhanced her fame, earning accolades for capturing her screen character Man Zhen’s 14 years of arduous life. The series was broadcast in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South Korea.[15] In 2002, Lin also appeared in the romantic TV series Boy and Girl; it was broadcast throughout China by CCTV, receiving the highest rating of all series aired in 2003.[16] With this series, Lin was selected one of the Top 10 actresses of the year; of those 10 actresses, she was the only one from Taiwan.[13] That year she also appeared in the ancient martial arts TV series Flying Daggers (based on Gu Long's novel). Lin not only acted in a martial-arts series for the first time but also played against type – portraying a cold assassin, rather than her usual gentle damsel. These three series were released in 2003 throughout Asia, adding to Lin's success. Though Lin focused on TV series, she continued to appear in films such as the adventure drama Life Express (with Richie Ren) and the romantic comedy Love Trilogy (with Francis Ng and Anita Yuen), which was relatively successful in China.

In 2004 productions such as Amor de Tarapaca (co-starring Korean actor Han Jae Suk), she began a trend towards China-Korea collaborations. Lin was 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 miniseries in Asian television history (as of 2011). By this time, Lin had been in show business for almost a decade, with nearly non-stop filming. She wanted to go back to school; since high school, studying abroad had been her dream.[5] In the winter of 2004, after filming Magic Touch of Fate, Lin decided to study language and acting for three months in New York City. While she was there, Lin studied English at Study Group International[17][18] and performance at the New York Film Academy.

Returning home to Taiwan with a new passion for acting in February 2005, Lin starred almost back-to-back in four big-budget Chinese series: Paris Sonata, Sound of Colors,[19] Star Boulevard[20] and Da Li Princess. For her role in Paris Sonata, she learned to play piano two months before filming. After Paris Sonata she selected the TV drama Sound of Colors (a remake of Jimmy Liao's book) as her next work, portraying a blind radio DJ. Lin's performance as a blind girl received good reviews from audiences and the news media.[21][22] This drama has been broadcast in many countries, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam and the United States. Star Boulevard and Da Li Princess were expected to be released in 2008 by CCTV.

After speculation over who would receive the leading role of Daji (who was known for her beauty and cruelty which ruined a dynasty), the role was offered to Lin. When Lin committed to play Daji, she could not escape comparison with Fan Bingbing, who played the same role in the first part of the series. Lin's performance received generally positive comments from media. NetandTV commented, "In comparison to the previous version, the bright spot in this new version's Daji gets a new makeover. Ruby Lin's look gave Daji a brand-new definition".[32] Lin has often said "comparing with other people is meaningless, I just wants [sic] a breakthrough from past looks, to surpass myself."[33]

Personal Life

Rumors and paparazzi

Like other stars, Lin's private life is frequently in the public eye. Although she never expressed a strong dislike of the paparazzi, Lin has openly expressed her discomfort and frustration about rumors and the paparazzi during interviews. When asked about paparazzi she answered, "I'm already frequently exposed under the sun; this is my work, but what I cannot accept is they do things under the claim of reporting the truth, desperately digging for things that they perceive as inside information, they completely ignore other people's feelings, whether or not they've already destroyed a harmonious and happy family."[49]

Since her early career Lin has expressed displeasure with rumors about her work or private life, but acknowledges that they cannot be ignored. In 2006, she began her blog on sina.com. In her blog, she expresses her moods and clarifies incorrect information. Lin explained, "Before, I thought there's no need to respond to baseless remarks, However sometimes 'avoidance' isn't the best way to solve problems. Therefore I made the resolution to start writing in my blog, to write down my feelings. I can objectively express my views through my blog".[50] In 2007, Lin was said to be competing for the role of the White Demon with Li Bingbing and Fann Wong. On her blog, she dispelled the rumors by stating she would not be acting in Forbidden Kingdom: "Finally dust has settled ~ I've left the eye of the storm" [51]

Harassment

In 2007, according to news reports, Lin was harassed by an unknown telephone caller for six months, on her three cell phones and her home phone. This was reportedly the result of stars' phone numbers being publicized.[52] According to her manager, "Generally the harassing phone calls start at 9:00 pm, calling every half hour, it goes on until 2:00 am, this went on daily. Moreover the person takes turns calling her three handsets. He never says a word. If Ruby answers the phone, the other end would remain quiet and listens to Ruby talk. Every day at a fixed time, from 9 o'clock to 2 o'clock in the morning, calling more than 10 times a day".[53] The offending caller was untraceable due to his Skype number, and Lin had to change all her phone numbers.[54]

Jimmy Lin stated that it was because both were constantly shooting in China that their relationship succumbed to the problems of distance, and they remain good friends;[56] however, they dismissed the possibility of getting back together. According to Ruby Lin, "We didn't have a significant quarrel or dispute, therefore after the breakup we can still be friends"[57]

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.
