From the "ugly duckling" to the "Asian diva", some people like it at the same time, she is also very dark, on this road, Jolin Tsai has never been considered a lucky person, everything has to start from the beginning.
Jolin Tsai was born in 1980 into an ordinary family in Taiwan Province of China, where her father was an accountant, her mother was a hospital worker, and Jolin Tsai had an older sister.
At first, her parents named her Cai Yiling, and later changed it to Cai Yiling.
Jolin Tsai likes to sing since she was a child, and she does not learn much in school, but she is particularly attentive to the recreational activities in the class, often signing up for singing competitions in schools and often winning awards.
In 1998, MTV Music Station held the "Freshman Card Battle" music competition. Teachers and classmates all felt that Jolin Tsai's voice conditions were very good, and the timbre was extremely recognizable, and they encouraged her to participate in the competition. After being lobbied several times, Jolin Tsai was also moved.
After returning home, Jolin Tsai plucked up the courage to tell her mother about this matter, originally thought that her mother would definitely oppose, but unexpectedly, her mother did not criticize her this time, but was very supportive of her to compete, and also took her to buy the costumes for the competition, and personally took her to the audition site.
When she arrived at the audition site and saw tens of thousands of contestants, Jolin Tsai realized that the scale of this competition was completely different from the past, and she worked hard to adjust her competition mentality.
When filling out the registration form and filling in the stage name, Jolin Tsai hesitated, she changed the tone of her real name, filled in the form "Jolin Tsai", no one could have imagined that these three words would resound in the music scene in the future.
20,000 participants, after more than two months of fierce competition, finally divided the winner and loser. Jolin Tsai herself did not expect to win the championship in one fell swoop, and half of her feet have since stepped into the entertainment circle.
In 1999, Jolin Tsai was discovered by the singer David Wu and his wife, signed to the world's largest record company Universal Records, the record company also signed like Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan, Sun Yanzi and other excellent singers, with the help of the company's resources, Jolin Tsai held the mentality of trying it out, and soon launched his first single ep "Neighbor with the World".
Unexpectedly, once this single was launched, it received a good response, and in less than two weeks, it sold 20,000 copies, which suddenly made the company look at Jolin Tsai with a look of surprise. In a short period of time, he set up a team to plan people for her, dock business performances, and arrange concerts.
However, for Jolin Tsai, who has just joined the company, the company has no in-depth understanding, just by appearance, Jolin Tsai has since appeared in front of the public as a pure jade woman, playing a person who does not match his personality, although he does not like it, but the company arranged, Jolin Tsai can only reluctantly accept.
However, in the days to come, this unpolished jade woman will make Jolin Tsai bear countless insults.
Many people attacked her appearance: saying that she had a thick mouth, was fat, and more like an ugly duckling.
Some people said that she sang badly, ruining the image of the jade girl.
So much so that for a long time Jolin Tsai hated the character of pure jade girl.
However, in addition to the unpleasant insults from the outside world, Jolin Tsai also has to bear the huge pressure given by the company:
The company set business goals for her while filling her daily schedule, using her as a money-making machine.
Later, I really couldn't stand the company's inhuman arrangement, Jolin Tsai clashed with the company, and she was facing a career crisis when she was only 20 years old!
Once at a concert, Jolin Tsai described her "dark time" this way: "I have trained the ability to shut down all the unpleasant sounds, and I am proud that I have strong willpower." ”
The voices of the outside world did not make her flinch, but relied on her own strength to open up a path of her own.
Although Jolin Tsai has a lot of iron powder after becoming popular, the amount of black powder is also quite large. After experiencing repeated verbal attacks by black powder, Jolin Tsai used actions to break people's prejudices and doubts about her. In order not to let herself grow fat, she even forced herself to eat only boiled vegetables, did not dare to eat a little grease, and even carbohydrates were strictly controlled, because of the irregular diet for a long time, her stomach often had small problems.
Someone blackened her plain, the more she wanted to prove herself, so she would endure the pain to practice difficult dance moves, each time practicing until late at night, often bruising her legs and leaving many scars on her body.
Jolin Tsai's road to fame is destined for three points, and seven points depend on hard work. The road to affection is also full of twists and turns.
In 2001, Jolin Tsai and Jay Chou, both of whom belonged to the new stars of the music world, participated in a variety show hosted by Wu Zongxian, and the old fritter Wu Zongxian was very good at creating topics, and he seized the opportunity. Told Jay Chou at the scene that Jolin Tsai was very suitable for him. This is obviously planting melons on these two people.
At that time, Jay Chou was very shy, thinking about it and did not know how to answer the phone better, but Jolin Tsai reacted quickly and directly asked Jay Chou what was the phone number? Unexpectedly, Jay Chou replied very coldly that he did not have a phone.
It is this time Wu Zongxian's smooth water push, for a long time, Jay Chou and Jolin Tsai have often been tied up by fans to discuss.
Under Wu Zongxian's pushing boat along the water, the two gradually became acquainted.
In the same year, the two traveled together, were photographed by the media, and soon all kinds of articles written about "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" were overwhelming.
However, both parties were silent.
At that time, Jolin Tsai was fighting with the contracting company, and her career was in crisis.
Jay Chou matched her and introduced her to Sony. This may not be much for Jay Chou, but it is indeed a life-saving straw for Jolin Tsai. Leaving the previous signing company, Jay Chou asked Fang Wenshan to write lyrics for Jolin Tsai, compose the music by himself, and give it to Jolin Tsai to sing.
"Prague's square crowded theater Quiet alley a café I'm checking out you're cooking soup This is the final answer to the story" The lyrics are full of love, and this "double j love" has long been known to everyone. Just when everyone thought that this relationship would have a romantic ending as written in the lyrics.
However, everything came to an abrupt end in the 2004 scandal between Jay Chou and Hou Patzen, and soon after Jay Chou admitted to interacting with Hou Patzen on social platforms.
Later, all the activities related to Jay Chou, performances, etc. Jolin Tsai pushed away, love is not right or wrong, only love and no love. This nameless love is like a bamboo basket hitting water after all, an empty one.
After the breakup, Jolin Tsai found Luo Zhixiang to talk to. At that time, Luo Zhixiang was just in his early 20s, and the two collaborated on the idol drama "Hi, Working Girl", in which the two played male and female protagonists respectively. After filming, Luo Zhixiang often invited Jolin Tsai to the bar to drink, Luo Zhixiang did not think that Jolin Tsai had a sense of self-protection, she drank a lot, Luo Zhixiang drank red, Jolin Tsai still did not change color, and told Luo Zhixiang that he must go home before 11 o'clock.
Luo Zhixiang saw that he could not develop into a couple, so he retreated to the second place, and later became Jolin Tsai's male girlfriend.
In 2006, Jolin Tsai and Huang Lixing collaborated on "Obedient Card".
At the concert, the two danced together, the action was very intimate, which caused the media to make a big fuss, describing the two as lovers, in an interview, jolin Tsai was asked about the relationship with Huang Lixing, Jolin Tsai smiled and replied that she was a very good friend. This also dispels the idea of media hype.
Jolin Tsai, 41, is still single.
From a girl who does not understand the world, she has transformed into a diva-level singer, in addition to the bright and beautiful surface, I think there must have been countless sweaty nights behind this.
Although it has been black all the way, why is black and red not red? I hope Jolin Tsai can bring us better works.
