Ariel Lin transformed from an actress to a singer, and also earned great achievement. Due to her fresh image, a lot of advertisers would like her to endorse their products. Heysong soda finds her again for their new advertisement, and there is a very good reaction after broadcasting. Actually Ariel is not only that sweet girl in her idol series; she is intelligent and prudent in private. About her singing career, she makes this decision after a 7-year consideration. “I’ve considered for 7 years indeed. It’s really long, isn’t it? (smile) And then I told myself that I might not do anything well through my entire life if I do it once I have 90 % confidence.” Ariel continued, “I was worried for a while, but I really don’t want to miss any opportunity because of my fear and obstinacy. I should change and improve along with action. It took me a long time to overcome it. And I believe, so did every singer. They learn and improve by every album.” She had prepared well in advance, however, she is still very nervous when recording. “I don’t think that the embarrassing thing could be presented out, so I took courses and learned. That’s why I am swayed by considerations of gain and loss. I wish I could be somewhere, but I’m just not able to make it at once.” Cried at the first day to record She admitted that she cried at the first day of recording. “Because some of the love songs in my album were too exquisite, and I’m not used to express this emotion through singing. My mentor tortured me with strong moods, so I asked her if I may cry now when we finish the recording that first day. Then I couldn’t help crying. Actually I often cry when I am acting in dramas. But in dramas, I felt the mood; I could cry immediately and release the emotion. With regards to singing, I have to suppress my emotions and wait all day long to cry freely. And then I found out that my mentor was quite familiar with such reaction, it seems that a lot of artists also cried in the studio. Talking about songs in this album, Ariel said, the more you listen to "Sweet Garden" (Tian Mi Hua Yuan), the more you'll like it! Same goes for" Rain of Tears" (Lei Guang Yu). It’s about a regretful story which touched my heart deeply. I felt like dropping tears when I sang it. Ariel is a girl who is brave to find her love in Sweet Garden, but how about in private? She said, I’m always thinking what a happy life looks like. And I think I should never hesitate to do things I would like to do. Of course some things need to be considered thoroughly. But you must be regretful if you don’t try you best when you are able to make it. For instance, maybe a relationship with someone, or something you want to do. Never regret anything, may it be affection or career “When I look back on the things I’ve done, I have no regrets. I ask myself to move forward, not stand still. At lease I will not regret when I recall it afterwards if I tried hard. You know it’s not only you that make things complete. You might fail for other reasons”, “Do you think that you are moving too fast?”,“No, I won’t do that. It's clear to me that there is a time for everything. Some need to do it fast, some need to do it slow.” “How about maintaining a relationship?” She said,” I’m not an active person normally, unless I meet someone who is really attractive. Think about it. God had brought him in front of you, how could you lose him? Is that too bad in your life? Certainly I won’t impose myself on man who doesn’t like me. But I believe that he could feel it as long as I make an effort. We could be together if we are matched, otherwise we could be apart. How could you expect anything amazing to happen next if you don’t let him know that you care for him?” Ariel said it’s her cultivated period now for her love and career, and she has great expectation because she just transformed from an actress to a singer recently. “I hope I could accumulate all types of songs, and then I could have a concert one day! I would like to make a theme concert, like Chen Qi Zhen’s concert with safety helmet. I think it’s really cool.” Ariel looks childish on the screen. Actually she’s not a girl, not yet a woman. Her charm comes from her wisdom and comprehension which is beyond her age. Source: COLOR No.176 Translated by: Felicia @ TKA Subbers
