1st album - Unprecedented 破天荒
Finishing first in the first season of the Taiwan talent competition show "Super Idol", up-and-coming singer Zhang Yun Jing was one of the most eye-catching newcomers of 2008. Originally a graphic designer, Yun Jing has won acclaim for the poster design of Taiwan movie Beautiful Crazy, and now she is living the dreams of many in her new adventure as a rising pop star. Yun Jing's debut album Unprecedented released May 2009 features 10 songs, including her CTS idol drama Knock Knock Loving You opening and ending theme songs ("You Fly" and "Black Dress", respectively), and a bonus track.

2nd album - The Opposite Me 相反的我 (to be released 7/9!)
The champion of the inaugural season of Super Idol, Taiwan singer Zhang Yun Jing was surprisingly left out in the nominations for Golden Melody's Best Newcomer award. But that didn't deter her from marching forward in her fledging Mando-pop career. In fact, Jing is waving goodbye to her old image with her second album, showing a rebellious side previously unseen of her. The major style in this album is one of British rock, and the production crew consists of such top musicians as Chen Wei, Jim Lee, Adia, Mayday's Stone, Peggy Hsu, Showan, and Japanese-American musician Skot Suyama. The album's warm-up single "Gone Bad" is already an online hit, and the titular main plug "The Opposite Me" is Jing's first composition selected from almost a hundred of demos she recorded!*

Interesting facts: Zhang Yun Jing was actually eliminated as a contestant when she forgot the lyrics to the song 白月光/Moonlight. But she came back in the 敗部復活賽 or the part of the show where eliminated contestants try to come back to the competition. And Zhang Yun Jing accomplished such a feat by singing 白月光 again (not forgetting the lyrics this time) and others.

Spoiler

it's surprising that no one at this point of time bothered to add Zhang Yun Jing to this forum, given that Season 1 of SuperIdol has already ended
but then again... there's always the lazy poster, a.k.a me, who takes it upon her hands to finally initiate Zhang Yun Jing into asianfanatics xD
i don't post often so please tell me if im violating any rules

MV preview of Black Dress (English subbed)



This is a version with just the piano instrumental and Jing's singing.
The full MV will be coming out on Channel V on 4/27
I read from the news that the director got 168 black skirts/dresses and set fire to all of them.

Also a recent picture
Zhang Yun Jing helped a singing group in the same company as her (EMI Golden Typhoon) in their promotional pics. I think they're called Flying Fish, translated from 青鳥飛魚. something like that

[minchong92]

Full MV for Black Dress

There are captions in the front and near the end to explain the whole setting of the MV
常常有人說 兩個女孩之間的情感
People often say that between two girls,
比一粒沙細微 比一整個世界複雜
there is a more complicated array of emotions
因為我們是女孩
because we are girls
很容易吵架 很容易和好
it is easy to argue, easy to make up again
我們一起編織對於愛情的懵懂
Together we weave together the hard to understand parts that make up love
然後約好要一起告別青春
and then we say goodbye to our youth
希望我們的小孩跟我們一樣
hoping that our children will become like us
互相分享生命中所有的樂與苦
also sharing life's joy and pain together
我們幫對方剪斷紛擾的困惑
we help each other cut off the scattered, troublesome parts of confusion (?)

有你的支持 我們永遠可以重新開始
with your support, we will always be able to start again anew
我們的內心只有對方懂
our inner feelings can only be understood between us
我們有相同的愛好
we have the same interests

(I think this line refers to the cross-dressing ppl or probably to everyone in general )
我們兩人永遠扮演著不同的角色
The two of us forever act as different characters
不管這個世界怎麼評論我們
It doesn't matter who judges us
只有你最暸解我的美
Only you understand the most of my beauty

我只有一個你
I only have one you
一個永遠與我作伴
A friend to accompany me till forever
也永遠與我作對的你
a pair to last forever (?)


Personal feelings: quite touching
i think these captions are meant to go with the background scenes of the mv
and the song's lyrics are supposed to relate to Zhang Yun Jing, herself

It's a song of friendship, the deep kind...and being your true self
perhaps some people might be irked a little by the (i don't know what to call them) people who dress in dresses and probably are guys
but this song is just about having someone who accepts who you are and loves you for that
quite deep indeed ^^

I would say my favorite scene from the MV would be of the burning dresses and Jing standing among them. It's a silent kind of motivation.

some caps here

五月天為張芸京打造新歌



during finals of Super Idol



predebut, before Super Idol

Edited by minchong92, 01 May 2009 - 07:02 AM.

[minchong92]

張芸京's new album is out

I've listened to all 10 songs (I'll put the list description up later) and all 10 of them are really good, at least in my opinion. They really show off Jing's vocals and all.

another point
she has another MV out called 破天荒/(translation: something about going beyond or breaking loose from expectation)
she's changing into different characters as if going beyond the audience's expectations
this song was written by 怪獸 from 五月天 or Mayday


credit MV goes to r22211133 and Channel V

at first i thought that Jing's voice was too quiet for this song and didn't have enough power

but after you listen to the song one or two times, there's this sort of inspiring feeling that comes from Jing's voice and the accompanying music
it cheers you up in a way

last note: of the many characters Jing becomes in this MV, she wears a long hair wig and all that

netizens had this whole stir because she wore this wig and "dressed up like a girl"
but then again she IS a GIRL
a really pretty girl too

haha but i would think that her personality suits her short hair better

wow i just found out today this person was a girl O_O

aha I sort of thought the same thing when I first saw her on YLBFB 100% Entertainment
I was like: "who is this?"
originally i was watching the video for some other singer, but then my focus totally turned to Zhang Yun Jing haha


here's some new pics from Jing's upcoming MV for 讓我照顧你 [Let Me Take Care of You]
It's supposed to be a love triangle thingy like a drama or whatever
Plot: The three of them (Jing, QiLing from Flying Fish a.k.a the guy in the yellow shirt, and Li Hui Qi the other girl) are really close friends. QiLing likes Jing for her outgoing nature, but LHQ likes QiLing because he's really caring towards everyone. I don't know how the MV will turn out, but it seems exciting from the released pics so far.







During the filming of this MV, Jing had a scene where she had to hit QL. But she hit him too hard and so they had to delay filming for QL's jaw to swell down. This sort of reminds me of Meteor Garden (the taiwanese version). There was similar news where Barbie Hsu had to hit Jerry Yan, but then she hit him so hard that he didn't talk to her the rest of the day or whatnot.

sadly however I didn't upload the pictures in chronological order. so the more recent pics of Jing are mostly in the back pages aiya

Edited by minchong92, 22 May 2009 - 04:14 AM.

[SHOWwodeAI]

haha yea i seriously that she was a boy. i was so surprised when i realized it was a girl. i guess if i had heard her voice first i would have known it was a girl. but i hadn't heard her speak before so i thought she was a guy all the way up until this time haha

[greencucumber]

I've been reading this particular site about Jing. So far this is the only site that post all in english. Am glad of it..

About the previous posts, hmm, I think many would have the same thought and opinion about Jing's gender. But I have never thought she was guy (i guess i'm weird)... maybe because of her small body frame. The first time I saw her was on 100% entertainment news and the volume of my tv was on mute mode. Maybe that's how I got away with the wrong judgement on Jing... haha.

Anyways, am glad that minchong92 have been posting updates about Jing in english all these while. This site is where I first saw Jing's MV. There are too many websites that has Jing's story and info but very limited in english.

With regards to minchong92's post on the new MV of Jing, I can't wait to see the MV... haha. It's really interesting to see Jing acting.

By the way, does anyone knows that Jing was being considered to appear in Love or Bread where the main casts are Da S (Barbie Hsu) and Xiao Zhong (Chen Yuan Chang). But after that, there's no update about it.. I guess it's just a news, nothing much.

Also, there was this article that said there will be a new taiwan drama series titled 'San Bao Mei' and GTV was asked whether are they going to consider to ask Jing to play the role of 'San Bao Mei'. In the end, they said they wanted to get a more experienced actress as Jing is still a newcomer to the entertainment industry.

( Pls correct me if i got the facts wrong)

Before I "discovered" Jing, I was actually just about to give up Taiwanese entertainment for a while because none of the new debut singers were that unique. When I went to Taiwan, I bought a magazine and the cover had Jing on it. I was sort of confused as to whether she was a guy or not. But I saw the word 她 (she) on the interview section and got even more confused. Then I gave the magazine to a friend and forgot all about it...until a random youtubing event
I saw her again on YLBFB and then watched some of her performance clips on Super Idol.

Then it was what some ppl may call "obsession"? haha nah, I just really find Zhang Yun Jing's stage presence really fascinating and her voice is really clean and bright. Her voice isn't very girly and it's not that guyish either haha, it's like in the middle. For the new year, she had a duet with Qing Feng, the lead singer for Sodagreen. They sang Blue Eyes (the original singer was Angela Zhang) and for me, it's a whole new kind of duet. Because QF's voice is quite high-pitched for a guy and it's somewhat yodely while Jing's voice is clean and go high or low. For me, the duet really is one of the best that I've seen in Taiwanese music. Perhaps it's not the best vocally-wise (but it's up there), but it's really fresh and rejuvenating XD
The two of them are a really cool pair and funny at the same time
i shouldn't spazz so much though because I feel that I'm typing so much gibberish

here's the video (english subbed)
the holding hand part is subtly hilarious Jing: "can I hold your hand?" QF: "Sure...but why do you seem more like the guy?"

From May 22 2009 12 34 PM:

By the way, does anyone knows that Jing was being considered to appear in Love or Bread where the main casts are Da S (Barbie Hsu) and Xiao Zhong (Chen Yuan Chang). But after that, there's no update about it.. I guess it's just a news, nothing much.

In the end, they said they wanted to get a more experienced actress as Jing is still a newcomer to the entertainment industry.

( Pls correct me if i got the facts wrong)

Yeah I saw those two articles and they're the only articles on Jing in Asianfanatics sadly .
Most of the idol dramas for GTV or SETTV usually bring up random/popular singers or actors/actresses to get more news for their drama. I don't think Jing was considered for the role in Love or Bread that seriously. But I heard that her manager was also managing that drama and was somewhat considering her. But that also conflicted with Jing and Super Idol because Super Idol is on the channel SETTV while Love or Bread airs on GTV. The two channels are sort of rivals so Jing being casted on Love or Bread would've been really complicated. I think Barbie was considered slightly but her name is just in the article to make news I guess.
The two main people who ended up being casted for Love or Bread were Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng (Cheng Yun Chang). The drama ended a few months ago.
San Bao Mei was the same thing I think. The two people who ended up being casted for that were Nicholas Teo and Amber Kuo, I think. Should be...

But I think Jing wants to further her singing career before she goes into acting. But if she ever did go into acting, according to an interview (I'll post that later), she doesn't want to be the lead. She wants to be the side character who beats up the bad guys who treat other girls badly or whatever. haha

Spoiler

i'm sort of happy that more people are coming and posting, it was sort of lonely the last few posts

pictures pictures pictures
This is Jing when she first appeared on TV and Super Idol.
The host was like: "Are you...?" haha

Jing sang pretty good, but then two judges pressed two X's. Technically only one did and the other judge did because he wanted to say something good about Jing and the host never asked the judges who didn't press the X's xD.

compare the first picture to Jing now

i wouldn't say big difference, but vocally-wise Jing has improved a lot.

and then a cracktastic photo of Jing...the dog

haha

hooray good job to Jing, she deserves this
For Jing to get such good results for her first album and after 10 long months from her winning Super Idol, this shows that she will be a singer to be watched and heard from now on
Her album also got #1 on the 5music and Channel V charts
hopefully she can keep this up when all the other big name artists release their albums later this month and next month

They are so cute together. I hope Qiling and her get more collabs in the future even though they're kind of different musically.

Do you mean QingFeng of Sodagreen or QiLing of Flying Fish? I sort of lols at both of the guys' interactions with Jing. She's so manly towards both of them, like slap shoulder manly. haha
And that dance up there that I posted some weeks ago, that dance comes from Flying Fish's song, Weird Girl. I lol'ed even harder at that.
On the other hand, Jing seemed really happy to duet with QingFeng. She smiled really big throughout the entire duet.

can someone message me the download link 2 black dress

um, I would recommend that you not ask here. Perhaps you could message me or something, but I'll probably give you a two or three minute snippet. There are sites that you can download it without a virus, but...

I already ordered my album through my grandma
if my grandma can't find it or it's sold out , I'll probably buy it here in the States (where it's more expensive )

just don't ask here for download links please

I would be happy to give you the MV file though

there are a lot of streaming sites too where you can listen to the whole song and the other songs on her album (check youtube too)


lolz again

[minchong92]

nothing much new on Jing yet

But I heard she will be on 5/26 Tuesday's 100% Entertainment. The whole show will probably be centering around her.

Jing has started to have some signing events for her CD. She has already held two events, one in Taichung and one in Taoyuan.

Another big one is coming up 5/30 this Saturday in XiMenDing, Taipei.

For me, that's across the Pacific Ocean. Too far for me to go

however an autographed version of her album has been released on YesAsia

Some other news on Jing: she has been chosen to advertise the new Samsung mp3 player



shuai shuai; hoping that they'll film a commercial with Jing in it



random funny pic coming up next


Zhang Yun Jing, are you hungry?

never mind I probably got that wrong
100% Entertainment will be a live show tomorrow, so Jing will probably go on for a few minutes to promote her album

There is one confirmed date for Jing to appear on TV
On 5/31 Sunday, she will be on 沈春華Live Show, it's an interview thing where the guests talk about themselves somewhat like the Chinese Oprah
Jing will appear with her mom and another contestant, Li Ning, from Super Idol Season 3 and that contestant's mother

credits as tagged
as you can notice, Jing and Li Ning have something in common
They both can pass off as really hot guys
nah...they just don't like to wear dresses, skirts and other girly things

side topic: from some fans' opinions, some don't understand why Jing doesn't get the whole interview to herself
They don't have to pull in another person who dresses like Jing to further emphasize why Jing is different from other female artistes...
Furthermore, Li Ning was already eliminated from Super Idol 3 weeks ago and the 敗部復活賽/Wild Card part of the competition hasn't even been started (even though potential wild cards have already been getting ready for it)

I would think since right now is Jing's album promotion period, the show only focusing on her would be more beneficial towards Jing
personally, I have seen some Li Ning's performances (her first performance was the best, in my opinion). She's not as vocally strong as Jing and her stage presence is sometimes somewhat boring, but she has her own strong points such as her work ethic to improve and will to practice. Still, the show producers should have thought first before asking Li Ning to come. Li Ning still has a long way to go and she's only 16 (so much time for her to get better). Plus Super Idol 3 isn't even over! To give Li Ning more exposure would be sort of unfair to the other contestants...

Spoiler

and it's sort of unfair to Jing because she is still has the shadow of Super Idol looming over her (ok I'm somewhat exaggerating ) and so she has to support all her 師弟 and 師妹/juniors from the following seasons.

after that long rambling, I would have to conclude that this interview is still something to look forward to, even with Li Ning. They're probably going to talk how and why they are who they are now and etc. Quite interesting because the two of them are bringing in a whole new wave of entertainers, people who go beyond the norm in appearance and stage presence.
There hasn't been a tomboyish (or androgynous, you could say) singer in Taiwanese entertainment for a long time. Or you could say, there hasn't been one that has appealed to the general public for a long time.

from a news article: the host of this interview show at first thought these two were long-lost brothers

i don't know if that is supposed to be funny or whether I should go

after this, I have a tiny hope that perhaps if Li Ning goes back on Super Idol, she and Jing can try to collaborate on something

Last Saturday on 5/16, Jing went back to Super Idol 3 to promote her album. She is the first of Season 1 to have an album. After all, she was the winner.

Besides being a guest judge, she also dueted with another contestant (who is currently the highest in popularity votes like Ah Jing was in Season 1)
They sang Blue Eyes (the duet Jing sang with QingFeng), but this time Jing had to sing the deeper part. I would say this duet was pretty good, even though the contestant's voice is really high in pitch and somewhat shaky at times. If you download the mp3 file and listen to it a few times, the duet gets stuck in your head xD and gets as addicting as the duet QF and Jing sang

here it is (already 10,000 + views)

Jing had the opportunity to promote her songs at the end of the show

clip credit to mai0409
thanks to 阿Ben who gave his winning opportunity to Jing
(the singers who won the PK against the contestants got to promote their songs)


I know this is random again, but this is something that I must do (I want to use the 3 pics per post to the fullest)

Then it was what some ppl may call "obsession"? haha nah, I just really find Zhang Yun Jing's stage presence really fascinating and her voice is really clean and bright.

Haha... i understand that "obsession" thingy. Actually i saw Jing's 1st appearance was on 100% Entertainment News but at that time i didn't know who she was and don't even know a single info about her. I was wondering why the media focused on her so much. Hmm,i cannot recall anything i heard or saw about her last year. I think there's a news where Harlem Yu (cannot remember which artiste was with her at that time) was with her while she was in the recording studio.. hmm, isn't it??

Spoiler

Please forgive me if i remembered wrongly.. the news was last year's..

Jing's appearance on Azio @ Superstar was the one that really caught my attention. It was only aired this month on 12/5/2009 on Astro channel 301. (Isn't that very backdated?? ). I remembered seeing her duetting with Yuming singing "Fan Dao Zhe Lian". That scene was abit funny and where the part they hold hands, I don't know whether those who saw that part paid attention to one of her fellow super idol member, the guy who's sitting back there... he's reaction was tensed up... don't why he gave such a 'king' expression (u know how taiwanese used to describe when a situation is very tense)
Since then i'm quite into Jing... especially her songs, music talents, and her unique vocal. I agree with minchong92 that her vocals now has improved alot... more than alot actually..
Malaysia's now still airing Super Idols Season 1 on their local tv station. There's still alot more episodes i think..So those who still wana catch Jing in the competition, you can still watch it on Malaysia's local channel 8tv, every saturdays @ 5pm.


Previously i didn't know that Jing had a duet with Qing Feng... i was wondering why there's news about them... i thought they were comparing as they had found a so called 'guy' version of Qing Feng.. Sorry~

Hmm, what event was this, where both Jing and Qing Feng sang a duet??

Spoiler

Sorry for asking this... i missed out alot of the chinese entertainment. And the tv programs here are not very updated, plus i rarely go online to do my homework (search for updated news), plus the worst part of all, i can't read chinese...

Regarding the Music Chart. G-Music is based in Taiwan is it?? so far i've watch Mandarin Music On Demand 2009 but Jing's song was not featured there....



Hmm, is this on Genius Go Go Go?? is this recorded last yr or recently?? i didn't catch this episode.. or i missed it... or maybe it have not even aired yet in my country.. the tv programs here are abit slow.. haih..

I think that news came about in the summer/fall, this one right?
credit to favoritejing This was when she recorded Black Dress and the guy next to her is Anson Hu, her senior who wrote the song for her specifically. Jing wasn't on television that much last year, probably because of the Super Idol top 10 concerts and the promotion events they had to do. But I think she was on the majority of shows that the top 10 had to appear such as 100% Entertainment, Azio, and some other ones (I think Million Star contestants got more tv programs to appear on; but now that's all changing)

From May 26 2009 11 04 AM:

Jing's appearance on Azio @ Superstar was the one that really caught my attention. It was only aired this month on 12/5/2009 on Astro channel 301. (Isn't that very backdated?? n_thumbdown.gif ).

haha, I remember that. It's really rare when contestants from "rival" singing competitions get collaborate. It was so funny though when they switched their parts and Jing sang the lower part and Yuming sang the falsetto. I cracked up especially at Weihao's (the guy in the glasses) reaction to everything; he's so dramatic... In my opinion, the holding hands wasn't that weird. It was just really funny; Jing almost starting laughing too hard to finish the duet.
I think that show aired around November of 2008. I guess that is a little late to air the show in May, considering Super Idol EP promotions are over already. But it gets to show off Jing and maybe more ppl will go and buy her album.
I want to watch Jing on tv. But the closest I can get is connecting my laptop to the tv XD

haha it's okay. Ask as much as you want, I just want someone to talk to about Jing
I feel a little overenthusiastic at times about this haha, perhaps it is obsession...

Qing Feng and Jing sang for the SETTV New Year's Concert. Before they sang their duet, Jing also sang some other songs that she had performed before on Super Idol. She also did this rock duet thing with one of the judges, Huang Guo Lun. But in my opinion, it wasn't as good. Huang Guo Lun's a little old for the rock thing XD no offense to him... He's a good songwriter and judge and he's funny too. But I don't think the singing english rock songs does it for him.

Yeah, the G-Music chart is based in Taiwan. I heard that the radio stations in Singapore and Malaysia have somewhat begun to air Jing's Black Dress. I'm hoping that her album will sell well enough for her to be able to go out of Taiwan to promote her album.
And the moving gif of Jing's hair XD was from an episode of Go Go Go. It aired in Taiwan around November too I think. You can watch it on Youtube. here's the link to the first part of the episode

some recent pics (quite recent in fact from yesterday )

I want that autographed CD ^^




haha, fans like to catch Jing in her "dai" state

some more news: yesterday 5/26, Golden Typhoon EMI held a celebration/news conference for Jing. I think her album has done really well, better than other new artists currently debuting in Taiwan, in just the two weeks that it has been out. Jing said that now her company is considering to film 3 more MVs for her (besides the ones for Black Dress, Unprecedented, and Let Me Take Care of You). That's really exciting

To get ready for going abroad, Jing got a new passport. She hasn't traveled abroad before. Her company is already planning for her to go to Hong Kong and Szechuan, China to promote her album.

yay more opportunities for Jing to known worldwide
she already has a growing fanbase in Hong Kong, China, and Singapore
and then there's the few of us in the States and other places

Yea, that's the one... haha. Thanks. Oh my goodness, what made me recall it was Harlem?!! Ah.. now i remembered, i saw Jing on Million Star ('Bai Wan Da Ke Xing' - 百萬大歌星). If i'm not wrong again , Harlem jokingly teased her by singing Jolin's song, with part of the lyrics - 'Lao shu, Lao Hu, sa sa fen bu ching choo'. That was my another regret because i didn't watch that episode from the start till the end . Was busy catching up my sleep..haha. When i woke up,i saw part of it, around 5 mins then went away from the tv to do something else. My sister and mum nicely got to watch the whole episode of it. I think i was not interested in that program bcoz i didn't who Jing was at that time.


I think Malaysians' definitely begining to know more and will want to know more about Jing because the local tv station is currently airing Super Idol season 1. So now not only the Malaysian chinese get to the see the program but also the non chinese will also get to see it, as well as the non satelit tv subscribers.

Hmm, speaking about her album, i think it's not yet made available here in Malaysia. I've gone to the record shops but there's no sign of her album , not even the Super Idol EP (maybe the EP's only available in Taiwan... is it?) I wonder what's the delay. Unlike Aska Yang (Yang Zhong Wei - from 'Xing Guang Da Dao'),his album was available here once it was released.. but then of coz gota wait for a period of time. I hope Jing's album will be release here too.

Hi5!! Haha.. same here too. Been wanting to know more about Jing but don't know where to search about her since most of the website from Taiwan is in chinese... again...


Haha, agree that Huang Guo Lun's abit funny. I like those type of judge.. those who don't give contestant pressure. But sometimes abit pressure is good too.

Oh, is it?? I'm not aware of the radio stations..Hmm, i must listen more often.. haha.
Yea, am hoping that she'll be able to come to Malaysia to promote her album.. but also hope that if she comes,she'll have an autograph session too (they call it 'chien chang hui' = autograph + singing session).
Though i'll be abit phobia, i will definitely try to get her autograph.
(have been to LeeHom's autograph session once or twice - the only artiste that i've ever been to his events here in Malaysia - and promise myself never to attend any more of these kind of events... dangerous) i nearly fainted bcoz felt like lack of oxigen and being squash.. hahaha

Previously, i think it was quite a few years back, the satelit tv had G-Music chart program and we were able to catch the program on tv (it was Tension - the boyband who were hosting the program.. i think... ). But it's no longer on now... hmm, i didn't even notice, guess probably was too busy back in high school.

By the way, thanks alot for the youtube link. Honestly, i seldom watch youtube till now because i'm still using dial-up... (yea, i know that's very outdated..haha). But nowadays, i always browse for Jing's clip on youtube.

I wonder is there any official Malaysia based fan club for Jing or not...
The one like LeeHom's Homaniacs....
Do you have Jing's official fan club there??

That's strange...because there's a CD shop around where I live (California, US) and my friend told me that Jing's cd is already there. Compared to the US, Malaysia is so much closer to Taiwan

There still aren't many sites in english that go into detail about Jing , and no one's created an english forum for Jing either (except this one XD). Jing's Hong Kong and China fans have already created forums. Maybe I'll try experimenting and make one after finals.

Now I'm sort of wishing that I was going to Taiwan this year to go to all of Jing's events. It would be worth it even if there were so many people. I want to shake her hand really badly haha.

新浪專訪！張芸京不怕狗仔？ 只怕被拍到「拉內褲」 京爺談感情：能手牽手吃魯肉飯就好

（2009年5月27日，台北）延續超偶第一名的氣勢，獲得歌迷喜愛的張芸京，首張專輯「破天荒」一舉拿下好成績，接受新浪獨家專訪時，侃侃而談出道心情，從平凡人到歌手，讓她覺得「好像在做夢」，提及藝人最害怕的狗仔跟拍，他直率的說：「只怕被拍到『拉內褲』，因為真的太糗了啦！」

專輯創佳績 張芸京：「好像做夢」
從歌唱比賽到發片，張芸京覺得自己終於「圓夢」了，成為歌手讓他感到非常興奮，有種意想不到的感覺，他說：「從參加比賽開始，從一個平凡人開始受到矚目，到現在能完成夢想，發行唱片，覺得很幸運，到現在都覺得『好像做夢一樣』」。

張芸京嚮往新戀情：希望找到下一個手牽手吃滷肉飯的人
新專輯中，張芸京首度展現創作功力，邀來金曲歌后蔡健雅為她作曲，自己填詞，他表示，歌詞中講的「其實說穿了愛，都是平凡的祝福」，就是自己的戀愛觀，「其實我很老派，不嚮往轟轟烈烈的愛情，只希望與心愛的人手牽手一起去吃滷肉飯，享受平凡的感情生活。我也希望可以找到下一個和我手牽手吃滷肉飯的人！」

張芸京不怕狗仔？ 「拉內褲」糗很大
隨著逐漸走紅，狗仔跟拍在所難免，談到最怕被拍到甚麼樣的糗樣，京爺說：「拉內褲」！張芸京認為自己的生活實在太普通了，所以不怕狗仔來追，但處女座的她還是希望有點小堅持，她說，被拍到挖鼻孔、摳牙縫這些她都沒在怕，但「拉內褲」的照片千萬不能外流，因為「實在太糗了啦！」。

中性裝扮遭批評 張芸京直言「沒在看」
在超偶比賽期間因中性造型引發許多話題，一樣的選秀出身，一樣中性的造型，有人拿她跟內地的李宇春做比較，對於「中性」的自己，張芸京侃侃而談，「表現自己、有自己的想法最重要，不能用外表評斷一個人，像我們這樣勇於表現自己有想法的孩子，其實最不會變壞」，他鼓勵和他一樣的中性女孩：「我一直認為，懂得忠於自己且表現的人，是最單純的。」

對於網友的評論，他坦言：「沒在看」，他感謝所有網友的支持與批評，他會參考，但是他覺得最重要的是，自己要清楚自己是一個甚麼樣的人，甚至用過來人的身分安慰之前因與她合唱遭砲轟的張誠菡「惜兒」：「這是一個必經的過程，公眾人物一定會有人評論，聽一聽當作意見就好」。

Exclusive Sina Interview! Zhang Yun Jing is not afraid of paparazzi, but worries getting caught pulling her underwear? Jing talks about love: Being able to hold hands while going out to eat minced meat rice (translation-taiwanese hawker food)

(2009/5/27, Taipei) Zhang Yun Jing, continuing from the momentum of winnning Super Idol and gaining a strong fan base, has released her first album [Unprecedented] which has done very well in such a short time. When interviewed, Jing talked about her feelings about transforming from a normal person to a singer, as if this reality feels just like a dream. When the paparazzi, the fear of many entertainers, was brought up, Jing directly responded by saying that she only fears that they will catch her pulling up her underwear, because such an act is "way too embarrassing."

Album achievements-Zhang Yun Jing: "It feels like a dream!"
From the singing competition to releasing an album, ZYJ feels like she has completed her dream. Releasing her album has given her feelings that she has never experienced before. She said: "When the singing competition started, I was an ordinary person that people paid a lot of attention to. Now that I have the chance to release an album and fulfill my dream, I feel that I am a very fortunate person. It still feels like a dream."

Zhang Yun Jing yearning for new romance: hopes to find someone who is willing hold hands and eat minced meat rice together
In ZYJ's new album, she debuts her songwriting skills by writing her own lyrics in sync with a melody composed by Golden Melody winner and songwriting-queen, Tanya Chua. ZYJ commented that the lyrics "Actually speaking of love, love is always ordinary happiness" represent her own views towards love. ZYJ: "I'm actually really 'old' when it comes to love. I don't want the drama-filled romance, I only wish for someone to hold hands with when I go out to eat, just living a normal life. I hope that I can find this someone!" (hopefully this is an accurate translation XD)

Zhang Yun Jing is not afraid of the paparazzi? [Pulling up underwear] is really embarrassing.
As ZYJ's popularity is rising, it is hard to avoid the paparazzi. When the interview got to talking about what would be more embarrassing to be caught doing, Jing said: "Pulling my underwear!" Jing feels that the life she lives is too normal so she isn't afraid of the paparazzi following her. But Jing, who is a Virgo, holds a small stance concerning such circumstances. She isn't afraid of getting caught picking her nose or cleaning her teeth. But she is afraid of wide circulation of pictures taken of her pulling her underwear because it really is "too embarrassing!"

Receiving criticism for dressing neutrally (or like a guy), ZYJ doesn't take notice
During Super Idol, ZYJ attracted much attention and discussion about the way she dresses. Coming from a singing competition and still dressing the way she did before, ZYJ has been compared to China's Li Yu Chun. Regarding the way she dresses, ZYJ gave a firm answer: "When being yourself, having your own opinions is most important. You can't use someone's appearance to judge that person. For example, those who express their own opinions in showing themselves to the public are the ones who won't become bad." She encouraged other girls who dressed like her in outer appearance: "I've always felt that someone who knows how to be themselves, is someone who is the most simplest person."

Regarding the opinions that netizens hold, ZYJ said that she doesn't look at them. She is grateful of netizens' support and comments that she usually takes into consideration. But ZYJ feels that what is most important is if one knows what kind of person he or she truly is. She took the role of comforting a junior contestant (Zhang Cheng Han or Xi Er) whom she dueted with on Super Idol season 3, telling her, "[this] is something everyone has to go through, people in the public are always talked about. Occasionally listening to these comments and regarding them as opinions is all you have to do."

a funny segment of what happened during the filming of Jing's Unprecedented MV

credit to mai0409 for the clip
Jing is hilarious in here during the first few minutes where the makeup ppl put on the wig on her
she keeps on thinking she's looking at her younger sister in the mirror
rofl
she's just so awkward when it comes to girly stuff

Jing had a signing event 5/30 in XiMenDing. I think this was her biggest signing event, the crowds were pretty big from the accounts I've read
so Jing did a special performance of her song Cynical/玩世不恭
it was like a sword dance thingy, I've sort of forgotten what specific english term I can call it

the sword's not visible in this pic...haha...but I think Jing is getting even more confident in performing now (even if it is something she hasn't tried before...like dancing in front of hundreds of ppl XD)

here's Jing and the sword XD
i wonder if she's filming a MV for this?

here's some links to Jing's performances at her signing events today 5/31 in Jiayi

Jing's Let Me Take of You is so good live, especially if you watch the clip with your earphones on (cuz sound quality sort of escapes due to video quality...)
Unprecedented
Jing goes crazy near the end of the song; she goes jumping around the stage like a monkey
a graceful monkey she must have been really pumped up

waiting for the release of Jing's new MV...
it's almost been 4 weeks or so since Jing has come out with her album
Let Me Take Care of You shall be a popular 3rd single once the MV comes out

side note: congratulations to Jing for staying on the Top 10 on the music charts (it varied between #10 and #3, some of her singles stayed #1 : thumbsup )
a lot of popular artists released their albums this week including Wilber Pan...
one last pic

Everyone, please take note that AF is an english forum so do not post in chinese in this thread
If you guys want to have a chinese conversation, do it on each other's profile.

Keep to using english here. Thank you!

Hi there, I saw your post at Gold Typhoon too
I'm from US too I'm Julia
I thought I was the only one from the U.S XD
Since I haven't met any other Jing's fans from U.S for the past 10 months
Wow, Minchong, you really did a good job for spreading 'Jing's Poison" !!

nice to meet you too, Jing truly has international fans

new news article (thanks to singshow2008 for posting at golden typhoon)
this news is referring to the new MV, [Let Me Take Care of You] that Jing filmed with QiLing of Blue Bird Flying Fish and Li Hui Qi, fellow Super Idol from Season 1 Top 10
thanks to cfensi up above for posting the 120 second teaser
a lot of ppl are beginning to "ship" the two xD

張芸京嬌柔不久，又抓師弟七零去打球，還把人家弄傷了。照片／金牌大風提供

張芸京就是「娘」不了，在新歌「讓我照顧你」的MV裡，才和男主角七零搞曖昧，被讚有「嬌羞」fu，她就急著拉七零去尬球，回復「爺」本色，還把人家弄傷了。

唱片公司挑戰不可能任務，努力挖掘張芸京的「女人味」，在MV裡讓她溫柔地偎依在師弟七零的大腿上，還有差一點就「擦撞」出來的吻戲，讓她難得地表現出「少女味」。大家看機不可失，當場決定加拍一段戶外景，擺脫MV裡的第三者黎卉淇，替張芸京和七零製造「獨處」機會。

沒想到，張芸京邀七零去打球，兩人尬籃球、相追逐，「京爺」本色出現，一陣混亂中，七零不敵，還真的被張芸京推倒膝蓋磨破皮。

七零被師姐打敗，成為大家的笑柄，但張芸京說：「我偶爾也有『女』的感覺啦。」據觀察，也就是腳不經意會有日本少女的內八、偶爾會撒嬌，儘管她的「偶爾」是指「兩天一次」。除此之外，她打球和周杰倫一樣，球技不重要，耍酷裝帥才要緊。

Zhang Yun Jing isn't [girly] enough, will only kiss up occasionally

2009.06.02 Taipei
After acting gentle for a while, Zhang Yun Jing immediately went to playing basketball with junior Qi Ling and even hurt him in the process of doing so. (credit for pic: Golden Typhoon)
Zhang Yun Jing just can't be girly so in the setting of her new MV [Let Me Take Care of You], Jing becomes engaged in an ambiguous relationship with Qi Ling and her acting was praised to have much chemistry. So Jing hurried to film the basketball playing scene and once again regained her manly status, even causing Qi Ling to get hurt.
Jing's record company took on a challenge in trying to bring out the feminine side of Jing. They got her to film scenes with Qi Ling where she leans against him and there is even a scene where Qi Ling pushes her against the wall in an attempt to kiss her. These scenes gave Jing a chance to display the [Young Woman] side of her. Anyone watching the television won't be disappointed. There are also scenes filmed outside, including a scene where Li Hui Qi lets Jing and Qi Ling have a moment together.
Unexpectedly, when Qi Ling and Jing filmed the basketball scene, Jing was so manly that Qi Ling was no match and really scraped his knee. (translator note: not sure if this is just describing the scene or if it actually happened )
Qi Ling, defeated by his senior, became the laughingstock of the film crew. But Jing said: "I do have my girly moments though." On the outer appearance, she may not have the legs of Japanese teenage girls, but she will kiss up to people occasionally;that "occasionally" meaning once every two days.
On the other hand, Jing plays basketball like Jay Chou. Playing skills don't matter, instead it's all about looking good while playing.

sorry if anything doesn't completely match up, my Chinese reading skills still aren't up to par

Jing is really going beyond in this MV, watching the teaser actually just makes me more excited for the full version. The whole story of the MV is like a drama. Jing's acting is superb for her first time.

I can't wait for the dvd+cd version though, it's coming out 6/5

[Julia :)]

To Minchong92 and Little Bee:
Nice to meet you, guys ^__^
Oh I see~~that's why I never see you guys there
but you guys can always reply in English
maybe it will make more international fans come out there and join the fan club
BTW, in Baidu, there is this 198396 Birthday Building people try to build for Jing before her B-DAY
it's a little bit behind schedule now
since Jing's B-day is 3 months away
you guys are welcome there
you can write down anything you want
English~Chinese, whatever ^__^
I think it's a very meaningful gift for Jing
if you guys have time, please join us there
Yeah, I'm waiting for my CD also
but the new version CD+DVD is coming soon
I definitely will get that one too
It proably includes all the MV too

[范阿甄]

ok sure do
I'm really set on getting the CD+DVD and whatever thing Jing designed that will be included
but I heard there are only 5000 copies of this version
and I'm sure that by 6/5, there's a huge chance that all these copies will be gone...which is a good thing ...but also a bad thing for everyone overseas
i'm hoping to buy it online at the 5music website, but im not sure
hopefully more copies will be printed, but that's a small chance

probably around this weekend or early next week
i bet once people watch the whole thing on TV, there'll be a whole wave of ppl rushing to the cd stores to get her album
as for the teaser version of the MV, I've already watched it more than 3 times
and surprisingly, I don't get sick of it or anything

go to http://asianfanatics...hp?showforum=68
and post new topics
but first read AF FAQ for requirements of posting the news article

some new pictures from a news article from NOWnews (probably will try to post that news article in the headline news section)
Jing is really 絕美超帥. how do you translate that to english? Beautiful and Handsome at the same time... haha... I think that is what makes Jing different from most Taiwanese female entertainers

shuai pose

too pretty


cute or shall I say... XD?
did anyone see that fancam of Jing jumping up and down really crazily after her Unprecedented performance at the Jiayi signing event?

shall I say that she got too "HIGH" ?
