JJJ Lin's 22 Little Secrets
Classical, clear, dedicated, mature .... This is the JJ Lin on stage. In reality, JJ Lin is still just a big Singaporean boy who just turned 25, and has a lot of cute little secrets you don't know...
About the new album
Secret #1: Loves the number 7
Jackie Lin's new album has an interesting title, "Number 89757," which is based on the concept of looking at the present world from the point of view of a robot 1,000 years from now, telling its own story, and "Number 89757" is the name of the robot." The answer to why the number 89757 was chosen must be something everyone is looking forward to. Because ......89757 is my phone number!" (then laughs evilly) "No, it's not! It's because I've always loved the number 7, that's why I came up with such a name, and the number itself doesn't really have any real meaning. This robot represents myself, and I'm a lot like it in personality."
Secret 2: Crush
The storyline set up in the music video for the new album's song is that the robot number 89757 is silently in love with its mistress, but doesn't dare to say so. Lin, who believes himself to have a similar personality to this robot, said he also had a crush during his student days, but finally missed it because he was too shy to express it." Really fall in love with a person I will not immediately express it, I will think a lot about myself first, try to find out how she feels about me, and then slowly go to know the friend. I think it has to be a friend first. I feel good about her and she feels comfortable with me before we can continue to date. But I think if I meet someone I really like I'll be very proactive and express it!"
Secret #3: Hates piracy the most
Speaking of piracy, Lin's expression turned serious for the first time that night. He said that recently his song "Jiangnan" was "stolen". He was very surprised and angry when he heard that someone had covered "Jiangnan" without his consent. In his new album, he even composed a song called "Stolen" to send to the person who stole his song." This is a kind of blasphemy to the music, in the new album I specially rushed to record this song "Stealing" is to tell everyone to support the genuine version and respect the hard work of musicians. Sometimes I feel sad when I see pirated copies of my albums on the market, and when I see my friends around me buying pirated copies or downloading music from the internet I make sure to stop them right away."
On getting into the business
Secret #4: Three former idols
The song "Three Days and Two Nights" has a special significance for JJ Lin, because five years ago, it was with this song that JJ won the singing contest organized by the Sea Butterfly Company and was able to sign up for the business, and at that time another contestant who was selected was Adu, who later became his elder brother." I was only 18 years old and in high school when I participated in the contest. My classmates picked up the application form for me and we went to the contest together. I had always loved singing before then, and my favorite songs were those by Wu Sikai, Zhou Hua Jian, and Jacky Cheung. I chose "Three Days and Two Nights" because I really like Jacky Cheung's voice and I like to imitate him. I remember being very, very nervous during the competition and feeling that I hadn't reached my best level at all. ......"
Secret 5: The early years of DU
"I noticed DU in the middle of the competition because my brother, who went to the competition, was there, and we would often talk about DU Cheng-Yi in the following". The Duke was very shy at the time. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers," he says. Then JJ Lin weirdly mimicked Duh's way of speaking: "Hello everyone, my name is Du Chengyi, and the song I'm bringing today is Jacky Cheung's Love Letter..." He was really funny at that time! He was really funny back then!"
Secret #6: Barracks Writer
Shortly after the contest, Lim came of age for military service, as per Singapore's rules. Those two and a half years in the barracks became some of the most passionate time in his music creation. "At that time the thought of becoming a singer in the future, and excited and nervous, every day as soon as there is time to desperately write songs, write and then send my music teacher to see. Looking back now, I still feel that I was really happy during that time."
On writing
Secret #7: "The first time" went to Wu Kequn
Lin's first official release, "Where Did You Go," was on Wu's 2002 solo debut album, "Tomorrow". And the 2nd work is "Remember" written for A-Mei. When asked about the 1st song he wrote before he started his career, he actually doesn't remember it anymore." I started writing songs when I was in high school, I can't remember what the first song was called now. (Laughs embarrassedly) But I remember the first time I started writing songs was because I was working with my friends to make soundtrack music for our manga collection , and after that I also started to write some pop songs, and I didn't have any special ideas, I just wanted to express some emotions, and I also thought it was fun."
Secret 8: "Jiangnan" was inspired by "Northwest"
It was a song called "Jiangnan" that made JJ Lin a real hit in the Chinese music scene in 2004. Now recalling the miracle of the song's popularity, JJ Lin himself seems a bit surprised: "When I wrote it, I really didn't think (Jiangnan) would be so popular, but I was afraid that people wouldn't like it! The idea was to write a song for my friends in mainland China to represent my impression of China. I wrote the song when I was promoting in Xi'an. I saw the Terracotta Warriors and horses, and I also saw the ancient city wall, which made me feel very emotional, and I was instantly inspired by the melody. I told the staff around me at the time that my next album would definitely have Chinese ethnic instruments on it."
Secret 9: The first listener is his dad
When he's creating at home, Lin says he cares about the spatial environment, making sure to make his home comfortable and putting himself in a very closed and independent environment, or else he won't be able to fulfill his inspiration. And sometimes when he goes out with friends to watch a movie or play sports, a new melody comes into his head and he records it right away and then organizes it when he gets home." My dad will often be the first listener of my new songs, he will listen to each of my albums first and give his opinion, and then I will refer to his opinion to revise it."
On childhood
Secret 10: Karaoke at home
Lin's love of Chinese folk instruments actually stems from his family. In my house there is very professional karaoke equipment, we often have fun karaoke together as a family."
Secret 11: Use recordings to avoid practicing
"I started learning classical piano at the age of 4. When I was a kid, I didn't know anything yet and I was one of those kids who were pushed. My mom said I had to practice for two hours every day or I couldn't play video games. Actually, I was already interested in music at that time, but the daily practice was very annoying. Sometimes I would be lazy and play for half an hour and then go out to play, leaving the rest of the work to the tape recorder, because I would record my own practice songs beforehand, so what my mom would hear would sometimes be a recording. Now that I've grown up and understand my parents' good intentions, I'm very grateful to my mom and dad for giving me this musical training."
Secret 12: childhood career dream is a police officer
Lin's first dream as a child was to become a police officer, which you think? He himself explained that may be at that time watched a lot of police-related TV dramas, saw a lot of righteous police, obsessed with that very heroic kind of feeling, he also wanted to play that kind of role.
On personality and hobbies
Secret 13: Aries dual personality
When the reporter defined JJ's relationship experience as a "classical love", he laughed particularly happily, and then took the initiative to do a bit of self-characterization: "I'm an Aries, and this is a very enthusiastic sign, very energetic, but I suspect that I have a dual personality, and I'm a somewhat extreme person. I'm an extreme person. (Laughs) Usually people see me as a very good and quiet person, but I think that's probably because people don't see my crazy side as much. When I'm with familiar friends, I'm more crazy, I love to play, I talk a lot, and I dance when I hear good music. In fact, my personality is very similar to my music, and it's totally reflected in my music: sometimes I'm rowdy, sometimes I'm quiet, sometimes I'm sad, and sometimes I'm shy."
Secret 14: The part of yourself that you're most happy with
When asked where he thinks he's the cutest, Lin laughed first, and a pair of dimples floated up to the corners of his mouth, "Dimples, I guess, a lot of people around here have said that. There are also people who say that my single eyelid is also very cute. To my own words ...... or dimples it!" (A little blush)
Secret 15: Favorite monochrome tone Either black or white
"I like simple colors, black and white are very much like. This time, I chose a pure white look, and the clothes I chose myself are all very casual. I usually like comfortable, sporty clothes too, denim ah, t-shirt ah, jersey ah often wear."
Secret 16: the collection of silver jewelry addiction
Lin JJ chest hanging a long silver necklace is very conspicuous, usually he also like to wear a similar style of silver bracelet, JJ is not on the silver jewelry obsession?" I'm a big fan of collecting rings, necklaces and other trinkets. Especially silver jewelry, isn't it a bit like a girl? (Laughs coyly) Also, I'm partial to electronics, especially video games!"
About the embarrassment
Secret 17: Common sense mistakes
While he's been on the road for a few years and has released 3 albums, JJ can still be childish and cute like a child sometimes. The staff around him told this little joke in the interview. Last year, during a visit to a radio station in Tainan, a program was arranged for JJ Lin to learn how to make meat buns and crystal dumplings, but as soon as JJ arrived at the meat bun store, he made a fool of himself. The owner told JJ that the atomic charcoal placed at the entrance of the store was the store's secret recipe, and JJ immediately exclaimed, "I can't tell! Is this delicious?" The publicist accompanying him almost fell down, and quickly explained what atomic charcoal was. After finally figuring it out, JJ Lin said, "I only knew about charcoal! Now I know that atomic charcoal is even more powerful than charcoal!"
Secret 18: Brush the night playing pool
Looking good behavior Lin also have naughty time, at home when the most like the night and friends to go out to play together, watching movies, playing video games, playing ball are his favorite projects." Once when I was out playing pool so late that my cell phone ran out of battery, my parents couldn't find me and almost called the police!"
On ideals and aspirations
Secret 19: His current professional dream is to surpass Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson is Lin's number one idol, and as a child he dreamed of becoming a music superstar like him." No musician would deny his success, and now, I would take his music as a goal and charge there, excluding scandals of course. (Laughs) Hopefully Michael will release a new album soon and everything else will die down. In the Chinese music scene, I like Tao (Gigi) very much and I hope to collaborate with him sometime. Also, the wish to work with Jay Chou on the new album has finally come true."
Secret 20: To publish a comic book
As a student, Lin studied Fine Arts and Literature, and apart from music, art was the thing he aspired to the most. In his opinion, writing songs and drawing comics are ways of expressing emotions, and his own growth and personality will be expressed in all his creations. He said that when he has the chance in the future, he would like to publish a collection of his own comics or collect all the drawings he made during his journey.
Secret 21: Thirty and 30, 30 and Married
The fun-loving Lin actually included playing video games as a criterion for choosing a girlfriend." A girl who will attract me is simple, cute and classy. If a girl will know a lot about something like electronics and music, I will be more easily attracted. Because we can discuss together. For example, electric cars, because very few girls go to play them. If there is a girl who is better than me, I will at least look at her more. Would like to get married at 30 if possible."
Secret 22: I want to work with Angela Chang
"I like Angela Chang's style of music, which can make people feel Girl Power. the female singer I want to work with most is also her. As for S.H.E's Hebe, I hope people don't misunderstand anymore! Writing songs for S.H.E is really a balanced consideration of 3 people's characteristics to write."
