Ariel Lin - Queen of the idol series
Ariel Lin’s looks may not be graded as beautiful, so everyone is describing her as [cute], [has quality]; but because she really has this Taiwan’s local girl style which eventually makes her even more popular. Actually Ariel is a good representative for Taiwanese girls. Dreaming their normal self would one day meet a smart and wealthy boyfriend, winning all the envies from the public. Ariel Lin being [love till the end] by the good looking guys: Joe Cheng, Mike He and Wu Zun, hasn’t been involved in a relationship for quite a while now maybe you will ask her “Aren’t you dating Joe Cheng?” This [Taiwan’s Queen of the Idol series] will personally tell you the truth deep from her heart.
Having just celebrated her 25th birthday on October 29th, now she is already in HengDian filming the new generation of HuangRong. Even though being call as [The chubbiest HuangRong ever] it did not put her down at all. She purposely avoids watching Barbara Yung and Athena Chu’s versions of HuangRong and based on her own version of HuangRong straightly from the novel and scripts. Before she departs to HengDian,
In the set, Ariel looks a bit quiet. She is also busy changing her makeup and clothes. But she is a very polite girl, she would sits very still and listen to her questions during the interview, always holding her smiles. When asked [Are there any great pressure having to act as HuangRong? Because a lot of artiest had already played it and not everyone had been succeeded. Why she wanted to try it out?]
Portraying a new version of HuangRong
Ariel nodded her head and said: [Pressure is high but being an actor would be wanted to face new challenge, especially characters that would be the talk of the town. Since the story can be remake throughout the centuries, it means that the character can be played by anyone. I’ve already acted in tv series for 6 years, it’s time to give myself a bigger challenge. Used the strength of 200 marks to act as HuangRong, hope that people who haven’t watched “the older version of HuangRong” will be able to accept me.]
What Ariel said is true. During the 80s is Barbara Yung, 90s is Athena Chu, 2000 is Zhou Xun and 2007 will be Ariel’s turn. New generation viewers may not have seen the previous version of
Girl next door image mesmerizing boys and girl viewers
Looking at Ariel’s info, filming tv series the year 2000. Didn’t immediately shot into fame but she’s getting more and more popular as she keeps on filming series from series. She’s been filming12 series in just 5 years. That’s why when (we) asked Taiwan Medias how do they describe Ariel Lin, they will tell you [She’s Taiwan’s Queen of the Idol Series]. At first, (I) was a bit surprised; Ariel is not a beauty and doesn’t make people feel that she’s gorgeous. Why would she be [Queen]? Their answers would be: [It’s because she’s like Taiwan’s girl next door type. A lot of prince charming is falling for [beautiful enough to have her own perspective] type. This is also the deepest desire of all the girls; it sorts of like making the other girls feels like they could actually relate themselves to Ariel. While guys also love this kind of girls who have a rocky path in their life cause then it will be a good opportunity to let the guys satisfy their own desire of protecting the girls. Anyway Ariel is the new generation
Brilliant!!!!!
Congratulations!!!
