In 2003, at the age of 17, she rolled up a "sweet storm" in the entertainment industry. After the phenomenal explosion, she also received the title of "Sweetheart Sect Leader".
But just when everyone thought that Wang Xinling would get better and better, she suddenly faded out of people's vision, why is this?
Now that she is nearly 40 years old and has become popular again, she has become a top star, what is the secret?
«——【Childhood?】»»
Wang Xinling's life is like an Oreo cookie, before and after becoming a "sweetheart", it is two relatively "black" experiences.
Chronologically, let's start with her childhood experiences.
Born on September 5, 1982, in Hsinchu County, Taiwan Province, Wang Xinling's parents divorced in the fourth grade of elementary school.
Since then, her mother has taken her and her brother Wang Renyou to rely on each other for their lives and live a difficult life.
In order to survive, Wang Xinling's mother has to wear several hats to barely support her two children.

The middle-aged divorce coupled with the lack of living materials tortured this originally positive and optimistic woman all over her body, and she unconsciously suffered from depression.
This is nothing short of afound for a family that is not rich.
At the most difficult time, Wang Xinling's mother only had 100 Taiwan dollars (about 20 yuan), and a family of three could only eat a bento.
In order to relieve her mother's pressure, Wang Xinling began to work at the age of 10.
Although there is very little money she can earn, her warmth has gradually healed her mother's psychological trauma.
Later, whenever he talked about this experience, Wang Xinling always felt particularly proud.
Compared with many celebrities who "rewrite" their own experiences after becoming popular, Wang Xinling did not shy away from talking about his poor childhood, and once quipped:
"Maybe it's because life is not good, I am thinner, so that everyone wants to protect me." 」
Seriously, sometimes she's really optimistic and sensible, like Cinderella in a story.
Luckily, Cinderella found her own crystal shoes after many difficulties.
And Wang Xinling smiled at life, and finally got the mercy of fate.
11-year-old Wang Xinling accidentally saw the children's disco contest broadcast on TV and decided to sign up no matter what, so her mother borrowed money to take her to the competition.
As a result, Wang Xinling broke through to the end and won the first place!
After the program was broadcast, the effect was very good, and Wang Xinling was also very encouraged.
Since then, a seed related to dreams has taken root in her heart.
Catalyzed by sunlight, moisture and time, the seed of this dream gradually sprouted. After that, Wang Xinling worked hard all the way and was finally admitted to the famous "Huagang Art School" in Taiwan.
(Huagang Art School is a school rich in stars, such as: Lin Zhiying, Rainie Yang, Jiang Yuchen, big and small S are all from this school can be said to be the cradle of Taiwan's showbiz circle.) ）
Here, Wang Xinling received a more professional education, and the spores of dreams also grew into embryonic forms, allowing her to take a step closer to the entertainment industry.
In 2000, director Zhang Zuoji was planning to shoot the TV series "Car Is Chasing", one of the characters named "Milk" has not been able to find a suitable candidate, and he decided to try his luck at Huagang Art School.
This touch touched Wang Xinling.
At that time, Wang Xinling was in a good year of youth, his skin was blown and broken, and his face was full of collagen, which fully met Zhang Zuoji's requirements for the corner of "milk"!
Director Zhang Zuoji finalized the candidate at that time, and none of the rest of the people watched it.

In the same year, Wang Xinling made a cameo appearance in the movie "The Love of Running Hands" and starred in Cai Jianya's "Commemoration" MV.
After that, Wang Xinling was taken by Taiwan's top stylist Ye Ting and became her royal makeup model and entered the field of print magazines.
Compared with her gradual fame, what makes Wang Xinling even happier is that she can finally earn money to support her family.
In fact, at this time, Wang Xinling's small body had gradually begun to burst out of great energy, and the small tree had also grown into a towering tree, dragging Wang Xinling to "see the mountains and small".
But at that time, she could not imagine that her influence was about to sweep most of Asia!
«——【Dream·】——»
In 2002, Wang Xinling, accompanied by a good friend, plucked up the courage to go to the "Loud Agency" to interview.
With a song "Leave Me", Wang Xinling sang the bravery and tenacity of the little girl, neither decadent nor sad.
Coupled with her unique voice and cute typhoon, she gained favor at the first interview and successfully signed a contract.
In the same year, just as The Japanese Aihui Music was preparing to enter Taiwan, they urgently needed to package a powerful newcomer as a representative to open the market.
After some searching, Wang Xinling became their favorite candidate.
For Wang Xinling, this can be said to be a "once-in-a-lifetime" good opportunity!
You know, at that time, Ai Hui was not only the largest record company in Japan, but also the largest independent record company in the world. Its artists include top artists such as Namie Amuro and Ayumi Hamasaki.
However, compared with the above mature singers, the 20-year-old Wang Xinling is still slightly immature.
Therefore, Ai Hui gave each other an "assessment period", that is, to let Wang Xinling go to Japan for special training for three months, and then decide whether to sign a contract according to the acceptance results.
3 months, if the carefree life is not long, if the sweaty life is not short.
And Wang Xinling's three months can be said to have been "hard", and the degree of hard work can be imagined.
Although she has a certain talent in singing and dancing, after all, she studied in the drama class at Huagang Art School, and there is a certain gap between her and professional singers, and it is far from Ai Hui's requirements.
In order to keep herself from being eliminated, she began to train her voice at 7 o'clock every morning, and then began to train her body after the sore throat, and the whole person was often tired at the end of the day.
In this process, she also thought about giving up, thinking about returning to Taiwan to become a small actor, even if it is to continue to study and find a simple job.
But whenever he thought of his hard-working mother and younger brother who was going to school, Wang Xinling would still do his best and did not dare to have the slightest tiredness.
Whoever has the will, it will be done.
After Wang Xinling's unremitting efforts, Ai Hui not only saw her talent and hard work, but also saw her plasticity, and decisively signed a contract with her.
It was at this time that Wang Xinling finally realized his dream and officially joined the entertainment circle.
On February 24, 2003, 21-year-old Wang Xinling officially debuted with his debut album "Cyndi Begin".
In this album, Taiwan Ai Hui Records created a "Cinderella" character for Wang Xinling based on her personal experience and characteristics, focusing on "stubbornness" and "bitterness".
Miyazaki, general manager of Aihui Records, even said: "Aihui has Hamasaki in Japan, and finally has Wang Xinling in Taiwan." ”
It can be seen that Ai Hui can be said to be full of expectations for Wang Xinling and her album.
But unfortunately, Wang Xinling's album did not become "a hit" as expected.
The overall sales volume is only 60,000 copies, and even the cost of the upfront investment has not been recovered.
At this time, Ai Hui, who has always held Wang Xinling in his hand, suddenly "fiercely appeared", and they told Wang Xinling: "If the next album can't be popular, we can only terminate the contract with you." ”
Wang Xinling, who heard this, was like a Cinderella without crystal shoes, and was once again beaten back to reality.
The sense of crisis of unemployment and the humiliation of not being recognized overwhelmed her.
In fact, at this time, Wang Xinling's experience and strength have been fully saved, and what she needs is an opportunity, an opportunity to make her different and be discovered by everyone.
Fortunately, she found this opportunity.
«——【Boom】——»
It is not so much that Wang Xinling has found the opportunity, but that Huang Zhongping helped her find this opportunity.
By chance, Huang Zhongping met Wang Xinling, who was wearing a high school uniform, and was instantly attracted by the "full of vitality of the girl".
As a director of the main MV, a variety of female artists, female singer Huang Zhongping has seen, it can be said that there has long been aesthetic fatigue, but it is Wang Xinling's style, he has rarely seen.
Later, after discussion within the company, it was unanimously agreed that Huang Zhongping's idea was correct, so they immediately formulated this development route for Wang Xinling as a "Yuanqi Girl".
In March 2004, "Love You" came out.
In the MV, Wang Xinling wears a pleated skirt and a ponytail, bouncing and jumping full of vitality, just like the girl next door in memory.
As soon as this song was released, it immediately received a very big response, and Wang Xinling's lively and cute image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
In addition to the song "Love You", there was another song on the album at that time that also achieved historical results, that is, "The First Loved One".
"I always think that love is the heartbeat of the whole..." According to statistics, this song has been downloaded more than 100 million times in the mainland region alone! Broke the download record at the time.
At the same time, the sales of the self-titled album "Love You" also achieved a good result of 200,000 copies in Taiwan and 1 million copies in Asia.
Wang Xinling was completely on fire! She was only 22 years old!
In June of the same year, Ai Hui spent 6 million yuan to hold the first "Dream Garden" concert for Wang Xinling.
During the whole concert, Wang Xinling sang a total of fourteen songs and changed eight sets of clothes, and the scene was dreamlike.
For the dream to come true, Wang Xinling felt an indescribable excitement
In September 2004, Wang Xinling starred in the TV series "The Wedding Dress of Heaven".
Although the name of this TV series is a bit confusing, under Wang Xinling's powerful personal IP, this drama not only won the ratings championship of Taiwanese idol dramas that year.
It is worth mentioning that this drama is still in the top ten of Taiwanese idol drama ratings. Many people say that this drama is the enlightenment of Taiwanese idol drama.
In 2005, Wang Xinling released a number of explosive songs, such as "Honey", "Eyelash Bending", "I Will Be Fine", "DADADA" and other songs.
With super high sales and singing degree, Wang Xinling directly won the award and won the soft hand, and also became one of the hottest popular movie stars in the three places across the Taiwan Straits and even in all of Asia!
In these songs, she invariably continues her previous sweet image, and the title of "Sweetheart Sect Leader" is also derived.
In 2006, "Smile Pasta" was broadcast, in which Wang Xinling played "Turtle Sister" Cheng Xiaoshi and sang the opening song of the play, "Rainbow Smile".
The drama has been the top ratings champion for 16 consecutive weeks, and undoubtedly became the ratings champion of Taiwanese idol dramas that year.
This year, Wang Xinling was 24 years old, with unlimited youth and purple redness.
It's just that the flowers are not red.
«——【Curtain·】——»
In 2006, Ai Hui Records planned to shift its business focus to the mainland, and they signed An Youqi, He Jie and others through "Super Girl".
In order to quickly seize the market, Ai Hui will bias its high-quality resources towards the mainland's "star-making plan". Even at that time, both their fame and works were far from Wang Xinling.
For this unfair practice, Wang Xinling's brokerage company felt very unbalanced.
After this, the brokerage company began to sacrifice a series of "riot operations".
First of all, in order to give Ai Hui a downward spiral, they directly handed over the "Smile PASTA" TV soundtrack to EMI for distribution by emissary, a record company to which Zhang Dongliang belongs, and declared sovereignty in music copyright.
On the other side, Ai Hui was not willing to show weakness, and dismissed or transferred all the teams that had once praised the Red King's heart.
This directly affected the song "Eyelash Bend", even if it was popular on both sides of the strait and three places, but it was only a simple round of publicity.
The brokerage company saw that Ai Hui would rather fight a fish dead net than show weakness, so it directly crossed Wang Xinling and refused to sign a contract with Ai Hui.
Ai Hui remained uncompromising, and the two sides were constantly engaged in a tug-of-war.
In the end, Wang Xinling's concert that year was also forced to cancel for this reason.
The two companies care about their own interests, but no one really thinks about Wang Xinling, and Wang Xinling, who is sandwiched between the two sides, is constantly consuming popularity and time.
In addition, what is more frightening than the career fault is that due to the gradual diversification and blossoming of the entertainment industry, the public has gradually developed aesthetic fatigue to Wang Xinling's "sweetheart style".
In order to survive, Wang Xinling was forced to start his own transformation path.
In 2009, Wang Xinling and Ai Hui broke off their contract and joined "Gold Medal Gale Entertainment", and released their seventh album "Electrocardiogram" in December of the same year.
In the new song "Happy Loving", the company spent a lot of money to charter a Boeing 747 airliner for her for MV shooting, and Wang Xinling wore a tight flight attendant uniform and danced hotly.
But it is clear that the sexy route makes her "uncomfortable", she feels uncomfortable herself, and the fans are also uncomfortable.
So, on the next album, she regained her sweet style.
At this point, the old fans are satisfied, but the decline in their careers is also visible to the naked eye.
As we said at the beginning, Wang Xinling's life is like an Oreo cookie. Well, after Sweet reads, another part of the darkness is coming.
What really "beat" Wang Xinling was her life and feelings outside of business.
First of all, it was Wang Xinling's long-separated biological father who was exposed because of selling fake goods, and although Wang Xinling had nothing to do with this matter, he was viciously affected by people with ulterior motives, and since then he has been associated with the word "fraud".
The second is that she suffered from cellulitis during the filming of the TV series "Love Chamille". This caused her face to stiffen and swell.
So there are some malicious media, through the release of some processed photos, sneering at Wang Xinling's "plastic surgery failure", until 2020, there are still many rumors about her plastic surgery failure.
And to say that the biggest stumbling block in Wang Xinling's career is definitely her several "scumbag predecessors".
Wang Xinling's ex-boyfriend Fan Zhiwei, who had broken up 5 years later, suddenly pinched Wang Xinling's first love boyfriend Ou Dingxing.
Without Wang Xinling's consent, the two people talked about Wang Xinling's private issues on the Internet.
In the end, it was Wang Xinling, the biggest victim, who paid the price for this farce.
Coincidentally, what hurt Wang Xinling the most was the last relationship, and she did not come out of the shadows for three years.
Wang Xinling once went to the stage of talking about marriage with actor Yao Yuanhao, but later because Yao Yuanhao suddenly changed his heart, the relationship between the two ended in a breakup.
But in 2017, after the breakup, from Yao Yuanhao's mobile phone, Wang Xinling's intimate photos were still leaked.
Although this time Wang Xinling did not escape, he chose to use legal weapons to maintain his dignity.
But falling into such news again and again has also made many viewers helpless to get rid of the powder.
After that, Wang Xinling gradually withdrew from the scene in the eyes of the public.
«——【Flip Red·】——»
For Wang Xinling, she may be more eager to love and be loved than others from a single-parent family, but the continuous encounters with people make her scarred.
It may be precisely because of this experience that she began to live more and more thoroughly, and will re-focus on her work.
In recent years, Wang Xinling's rise and attention have not been as good as before, coupled with the rapid development of the entertainment industry is difficult to understand, many new generations of audiences do not even know her.
But she did not feel depressed because of this, but once again found the tenacity of her childhood.
In 2016 and 2017, Wang Xinling participated in "The Goddess's Choice" and "The Masked Singer Will Guess the Second Season", and gradually returned to the screen.
In 2018, Wang Xinling released his 12th album "CYNDILOVES2SING LOVE" Heart Ling".
This time, she put aside all distractions and simply because she loved to sing.
This album includes a lyrical song "Big Sleep", which is called a portrayal of Wang Xinling's journey by fans.
As the last lyric sings: Wait until you wake up from your dream and then go and collect the wreckage.
She had already packed herself up and bravely moved forward.
Then four years later today, in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 3", Wang Xinling finally found the correct positioning again, returned with blood, and ushered in a new starting point for career development.
When she put on the student uniform again and danced on the stage, countless old otaku after the 80s and 90s burst into tears, as if they had returned to the student era more than ten years ago.
This is the charm of Wang Xinling, and it is also our youth.
Someone asked, is there any secret to Wang Xinling's red turning?
There's no secret.
For Wang Xinling, going to "Sister Lang 3", she only needs to awaken everyone's memory and surprise everyone to realize that Wang Xinling is still that Wang Xinling, which is completely enough.
«——【Conclusion·】——»
Is Wang Xinling's popularity due to hard work or luck? I'm not sure, but I think maybe it's both.
But one thing I know is that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Wang Xinling had been brilliant and depressed, but in the end she chose to stand up.
It is said that "it is easy to enter luxury from thrift, and it is difficult to enter from luxury to thrift", Wang Xinling used his strength to prove that he had the ability to "enter from luxury to thrift".
In the most depressed years of study, she still did not give up her hopes and dreams, has been doing music-related things, it is this accumulation and learning, so that she has not derailed from the times.
I think this has a lot to do with the good attitude she developed in her childhood.
Do you remember what was the last step in eating Oreo?
That's right, just soak it in milk.
Wang Xinling, who has experienced all this, has turned red again, and it is difficult to say how long this phenomenon can last.
But now that he can overcome himself and return to the screen again, it proves that she is capable of facing all the difficulties that follow.
And his mentality is the last share of milk.
After this, no matter how much bitterness there is in life, with this cup of milk, the result will be sweet.
