King Chang Yun Jing new album The Opposite Me

On 7/8, “Rocker Newcomer King” Jing Chang held a press conference for her new album [The Opposite Me]. Cyndi Wang, who guest-starred in Jing’s latest MV “Love’s Option”, specially prepared a gift for her colleague. The gift consisted of an “Crocodile Dentist” game surrounded by a sea of chocolates.

Cyndi said: “I know that YunJing really likes to play games so I picked this game for her. It has a particular connection to her newest single ‘Love’s Option’ because it’s just like love. You’ll never know – when you press on a particular tooth, you might face getting bitten by the crocodile and getting hurt. On the other hand, you could be lucky and receive a chocolate candy in return.”

Jing took 3 consecutive turns for this game and escaped the crocodile’s bite. She proudly remarked: “Lucky!” The host for the event, Ah Juan, wasn’t as lucky and was bitten immediately. The reporters at the scene asked for Jing to try again. When she failed, she was scared to the point that she reacted to the crocodile’s bite by jumping backwards 3 steps.

When discussing about the two artistes’ relationship after starring in Jing’s MV, Cyndi said: “When YunJing was on Super Idol, I often watched the show with my mother so I feel quite close to her actually. Then when staff mentioned filming the MV, I agreed at once!”

Besides thanking Cyndi for her guest-star appearance and coming to provide support at this press conference, Jing didn’t forget to praise Cyndi’s acting: “Her acting is really good. It’s admirable to the point that I want to try out acting in a drama!”

When asked about when the two became friends, Jing commented: “We’re both Virgos so we won’t put our guards down until we truly understand and become familiar with each other. We actually got to know each other better when one time Cyndi showed me a magic trick backstage. I was quite surprised and thought she was so cute!”

Last year, Jing Chang released her 1st album [Unprecedented] and gained remarkable results. Not only did her popularity rise, she also received a total of 15 newcomer awards from overseas. Jing also received 2009’s Yahoo! Taiwan Asia Buzz Awards’ [Most Popular Female Artiste]. This year, her fans from Taiwan and overseas gathered donations totaling 1 million TWD in order to buy her latest album. Jing’s warm-up single “Broken” has already topped KKBox Mandarin Music Charts for 2 weeks. As for the song “The Opposite Me” which she wrote herself, it has also topped 3 major ringtone music charts!

Jing also shared a story – a few days ago, she went to eat at a hotpot restaurant. The waiter there recognized her and then took the initiative to air Jing’s latest MV for all the customers to listen to.

Jing: “Later, he even rushed to 7-ELEVEN to preorder my album. This really touched me.” Everyone was curious as to whether Jing got a discount. She replied: “Nah, he even asked me ‘So can you bring Show Luo here next time?’”

NOWnews Interview: Zhang Yun Jing has no faith in love

Zhang Yun Jing's neutral gender way of dressing may let people think that she is a really cool and rational person. But Zhang Yun Jing identifies herself as a person who acts on emotions. So when it comes to songwriting or designing something, she always has her own opinions. Not only does she hold her own opinions about her work, she has also decided to spend her life entirely on the stage. If she dies, then she will die on the stage.

Zhang Yun Jing holds a conflicted and complicated view towards love. She has lost almost all faith in love due to the probability that two lovers will eventually break up and consequently Zhang Yun Jing finds it hard to enter a relationship. Nevertheless, she still has a master plan for future romance: she wishes for a simple relationship, one with pure interactions and vigor.

When [we] asked her what made a relationship between two lovers, she answered shyly and gave examples such as sincerely caring about the other person, protecting him/her. But ZYJ revealed something even more surprising. If her other half goes to the kitchen and cooks something for her, she will feel very happy. But in reality, it would always be her who would go and cook for the other person. It may not seem like it due to her outer appearance, but ZYJ is quite good at cooking food. Her best dish is Italian spaghetti. She says that she often goes to the markets with her basket to go shopping for vegetables.

Zhang Yun Jing's fans call her [Absolute Beauty and Beyond Handsome]; she is someone who can really attract your attention.

Zhang Yun Jing is not afraid of paparazzi, but worries about getting caught pulling her underwear?

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."
