Lin Chi Ling: Welcome out of Barbie's world

Text | Sister Yi (Zhou Guiyi) Ye Ziyao

I haven't seen Lin Zhiling for a long time, recently appeared on the interview show "All Voices", and was interviewed by his old friend Cai Kangyong in Tainan.

Lin Chi-ling, who became a mother last year, published her new book "Just Right Elegance" and appeared at a press conference in Taiwan.

At that time, some media broke the news that Lin Chiling would move back to Taiwan to live and take care of her parents. Of course, all the ups and downs will be amplified and interpreted as changes in her marriage.

A year passed, and the truth was revealed.

Lin Chiling has indeed moved back to Taiwan with her children, and her husband Ryohei Kurosawa also has work resources in Taiwan, flying both sides depending on the specific work situation. The in-laws basically fly once a month from Japan to Taiwan to visit their children and grandchildren. The cause was that Lin Chiling's mother suffered from Alzheimer's disease and no longer knows her.

In the interview, Cai Kangyong asked which time or moment do you want to return to most in life? Lin Zhiling suddenly couldn't help but cry: If you can, you are willing to use yourself for many days, exchange your mother and know your own day, and accompany her well.

Time pulls back to the wedding in 2019, and her mother seems to be trying to survive until Lin Zhiling gets married.

Lin Zhiling specially arranged the wedding in Tainan, in an environment familiar to her mother. After the wedding, the mother's condition deteriorated.

Lin Zhiling not only rarely shed tears, but also took the initiative to expose that it was her marriage proposal Ryohei Kurosawa.

The two renewed their frontier after eight years, and Lin Zhiling bluntly said, "Do you want to get married?" "Be honest about your expectations for family life.

At the wedding that year, Lin Zhiling also cried with excitement and thanked the other party for letting him put on a wedding dress.

There are often people who do not know why: the goddess wants to marry, why should she be so humble? But the reality is that I am glad that Lin Zhiling was not bound by the "goddess" for a lifetime, and took the initiative to take off her high heels and walk out of the magnesium light. After 15 years of dutifully playing "Perfect Barbie", bravely came to the real world.

A few days ago, I watched a trailer for a movie to be broadcast, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, which will be released in North America in July this year, called "Barbie".

Perfect live Barbie live in Barbie Paradise and live a seemingly perfect life in a pink fantasy land. Delicate makeup, lively parties, leisurely holidays, even wavy curls meticulously glow.

The heroine Barbie believes that yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever, she will be happy.

Until a certain day, a series of wonderful changes occur in life, "bad luck" comes one after another, and "perfect life" encounters a comprehensive existential crisis.

In the face of "subversion", Barbie bid farewell to her original life and chose to enter the real world to understand the true meaning of the universe and the truth of life.

From around that moment on, she was no longer a Barbie doll that could be easily grabbed back into a delicate box for people to see or envy, pretending to have a "perfect life".

Barbie appeared in 1959, and there is a legend that she was based on Marilyn Monroe. Although at the beginning of her birth, she was given countless professions, representing that "girls can also achieve the American dream", but the essence is still that she has never escaped the fate of being stared at, and she has also been accused by parents of creating too many girls' body anxiety - Barbie, released in the sixties of the last century, once accompanied Barbie with a "diet manual", which only provided a recommendation "do not eat".

In a sense, I have always felt that Lin Chiling's value in the entertainment industry is a perfect Asian live-action Barbie projection.

(Angel face, devil figure, delicate baby voice, long hair loved by straight men, meticulous makeup, never gaffe...) The whole physical condition and personal state are like a flattering Barbie in the window, satisfying male fantasies, female projections)

Advertisements for model debuts and shooting can hardly escape perfect curves, proud busts, sexy postures, and capture the eye with perfect flesh.

Including some "sexual innuendo", it will also be visible in the ad.

For example, in an early advertisement, Lin Zhiling and the passerby "ugly man" who coveted her beauty broke her wrist on the street, staged the push and pull between men and women, and between games, what helped her win was the man's distraction attracted by the "career line" at a critical moment.

Back then, Lin Chi-ling quickly replaced Xiao Qiang as "Taiwan's No. 1 beauty" on her debut, and also won the FHM Global Top 100 Beauties for four consecutive championships.

She knows very well how to play a hardcover Barbie named "Sister Zhiling" in the entertainment industry.

From model to host and performance, Lin Zhiling contributed the famous scene of female host - "Love Hug".

At the 2004 Golden Horse Awards, wearing a backless sexy evening dress, he asked Andy Lau for a hug.

Later, Lin Zhiling confessed to Andy Lau why she asked for a "loving hug" that time.

"I can host a big ceremony in my life, I may be like this once, I have to bet on this opportunity."

Yes, the fledgling newcomer host is a woman who was held by Liu Tianwang.

Later, Lin Chiling moved to the big screen, and the women she played were all peerless beauties.

In "Red Cliff", she is Xiao Qiao, the first beauty of Eastern Wu, who opens her clothes and takes Liang Chaowei into her arms.

In "Thorn Tomb", she is a beautiful and sexy female writer Lan Ting, who is as charming as silk for the male protagonist played by Jay Chou.

"Tianji Fuchun Mountain House Map" contributed a beautiful back, and seriously seduced Andy Lau in the bathtub.

In the Japanese drama "Moon Lover", the rivalry scene with Takuya Kimura also presents the ultimate of a sexy stunner.

In "Happiness Quota" and "101 Proposals", the performance is an urban goddess, and most importantly, she provides enough spiritual fantasies for ordinary men - I am ordinary, ordinary, and have no confidence, but the goddess has always loved me, actively pursued me, and never abandoned me when I was at my lowest.

also play the beautiful boss lady Yuzhen in "Taoist Priest Goes Down the Mountain", and stage a passionate drama with Fan Wei. Swirling between brothers and sisters, it has become the "red face and bad water" in the tragic story.

Simply put, on the screen, all of Lin Zhiling's characters have the strongest symbolization, and they all perfectly cater to the male gaze.

Lin Zhiling has never been afraid of her commodity attributes, and the beauty or sexiness that the market needs, she can provide.

She said frankly: The best role she played was Sister Zhiling.

Sister Zhiling never gaffes, just like the delicate Barbie in the window, she will not cry.

But the real Lin Zhiling did not experience so much perfection.

Even if she is as perfect as her, she will encounter emotional difficulties in life.

and Yan Chengxu's 17 years of division and combination, I will not repeat it here, as if the fate of idol dramas makes people, love this matter, not because you yourself are a perfect girl, it corresponds to perfect treatment, from beginning to end it is a metaphysics that cannot be too strong and expectations are too high.

Because it is too Barbie, the real man will truly release the desire for conquest (but these desires are not what she herself is willing to carry, and even have the ability to refuse), and will also cause enough jealousy and malice in the public.

(Will be publicly scolded by industry insiders because of normal business activities)

(Dancing with dad is also written as a scene, which is very fragrant and reverie)

In fact, to this day, everyone has not given up judging Lin Zhiling. The domestic violence gossip that has been repeatedly exposed, it is difficult to imagine whether Lin Zhiling is unhappy, or some people do not want her to be happy.

Cai Kangyong said that Lin Chiling is like a provider of dream scenes, providing everyone with all the beautiful imagination outside of real life.

But the real her, what she wants, maybe Huang Bo said it very early on-

"Life has never been an idol drama, I just want to see you and show a smile that is not in the script."

Today, what does Lin Chiling look like in the real world?

It is a daughter who is incontinent in tears when mentioning her mother, and until now, she still can't let go;

It is a daughter who is determined to move back to her parents with her children and enjoy more time with each other.

I won't go into detail about Lin Zhiling's family lineage, but her mother gave her sincere, unintentional maternal love and care. This can be seen whether it is Lin Zhiling's mother's mobilization of the highest treatment and care when Lin Zhiling fell off the horse, or the attitude that underpins Lin Zhiling's all unsuccessful love, and even the tension and regret that has been obstructing Yan Chengxu (I think I can understand from the perspective of my mother).

In the real world, Barbie's favorite man may not be any man at all, like all humans, she relies on irreplaceable, time-accumulated blood ties, she relies on people who have actually given her their lives.

Today's Lin Zhiling frankly said that she will forget to look in the mirror on the day she takes the baby, and will bulge her belly, hunch over, and have no posture management.

Faced with everyone's expectation of "a perfect life and two children", she frankly admitted that she "couldn't do it", because of her age, she would not have a second child. Who is born as a human being has no limitations of their own, and why live according to the expectations of the world?

Freely shuttling through Taiwan's supermarkets and vegetable markets, she is no longer the "sister of Chiling" in the spotlight, and when she is recognized on the road, she will smile and say thank you.

She confessed to Cai Kangyong that the perfection in front of the camera was done by makeup artists, stylists, exquisite makeup and dresses, and the entire team.

"Without them, I could have been so haggard and sloppy."

Students, I have always wanted to draw an important point: you can appreciate Barbie, but don't really believe that there is Barbie in the world, and don't be stupid enough to want to be her.

From beginning to end, Barbie is just an actor, and you have precious flesh and blood.

The situation is like Lin Zhiling, who will be grateful for borrowing the light of the times, otherwise it is difficult for the model to have the opportunity to get the microphone to express herself.

But in the past 15 years, she has had too much, far from the magnesium light, and will not be reluctant, because "enough".

As an artist, she gives her best self in front of the camera, trying her best to play the identity of that dream supplier.

Now married and having children, Oriental Barbie just wants to be her true self.

I am personally happy for Lin Zhiling, because the essence behind the brilliance of female stars is huge consumption, and "commercial attributes" will continue to deprive people of their attributes, which are originally contrary.

In reality, people ultimately rely on enough solid and deep emotions and relationships to be nourished and lived.

As Cai Kangyong said, the whole life is actually the ability to experience daily life, which is happiness itself.

There was one detail in the interview that was very impressive.

Lin Chiling adopted the garden at the time of the wedding as a continuation of the sense of happiness ceremony, planting different flowers every year, and you can enjoy your own me time here.

She is finally no longer the "perfect Barbie" for people to watch.

Finally, you can take off your high heels, leave the magnesium light behind you, and leap into the real world of fireworks.

Lin Zhiling, welcome to the world of Barbie and come to the garden of the world.
