Interview with Jin Meiling's characters

At the beginning of 20 13, Jin Meiling accepted an exclusive interview with Nanfeng, a young women's magazine with the largest circulation in China.

Jin Meiling: Those "little secrets" that can be made public.

Jin Meiling, known as a blogger, is now a post-90s student studying in the United States, but she is still a model, journalist and image spokesperson. Her life is as colorful as her identities. In her spare time, she is willing to share the "little things" in the United States with netizens. Her contact with the United States began with her pen.

In recent years, I have gradually developed from an amateur writer on Tencent. Become a recognized "multi-faceted artist". They all say that if it weren't for my parents' transnational marriage, if I didn't come to the United States, and if I didn't try to write down what I saw and heard in the United States, my nameless "little golden statuette" wouldn't shine under the "beautiful" starry sky on a feather.

My childhood was full of unhappiness and my youth was dull, but at the age of 15, a savior appeared in my life-American dad, who changed the fate of me and my mother. Their legendary combination of Romeo and Zhu Yingtai opened a new chapter in my life. Someone once commented on our family of three: unique and never tired of it. It is precisely because of the positive attitude and courage of the three of us that our lives can be more and more abundant.

Cinderella living in reality

Many people tend to perfect the people or things they like. They don't want reality to break the perfect image that has been built in their minds, for fear of ruining the "perfect side" of the fairy tale version of Queen Fan's tradition. Somehow, I gradually became the "Cinderella" in the minds of some people on the Internet. No, to be more precise, it has dramatically become a realistic version of "Invincible Ugly Women".

But in fact, I am just a "good girl", just like the kind of girl who can find a large group in the street, not a "goddess" who doesn't make any mistakes, not to mention a "lofty queen" who wants to show her ability and inaccessibility. /kloc-lived in China before the age of 0/5. I am simple, ignorant and don't know how to express myself. Unexpectedly, after 15 years old, I lived in the United States, standing on the stage, rushing into the sky and seizing my dream world. I make progress slowly, change slowly, and sublimate slowly, but sometimes I will be shaken and don't know where to go. I even wonder, after a few years, will I be forgotten on the internet?

Well, I admit that I have many "innate advantages" suitable for living in America. Among them, I grew up with little feet and said naively: impossible, I was born, I don't want such big feet! I wear shoes of size 42 or 43 now (American size 9 or 10). Call me "American Bigfoot", hey okay, that's okay! This is one of my strengths. It is really a big problem to find women's shoes that you like in China. In the United States, women's shoes even have the size of 1 1 and 12! It doesn't matter if your feet are big. Finding the shoes you like is a very happy thing!

Maybe someone will ask, "Jin Meiling" is my real name? Yes, but I didn't really use that name until I was seven. I used to be called "Dollar". Dollars? Still dollars! Yes, not only you say so, but also the person who registered my account at the beginning! In America, everyone knows how to pronounce my English name (that is, my Chinese Pinyin) without my introduction. In China, this name sounds vulgar, probably because too many people use it. In the United States, almost everyone (except China people) said that the name sounded very pleasant, pleasant and easy to remember.

My body skeleton is relatively wide, which belongs to the range of "European and American figure". It doesn't seem to be very popular in China, but on the contrary, in the United States, many model companies are happy to accept my body type. Maybe it's all fate.

In a daze, I went to the "battlefield"

To tell the truth, I don't have the writing talent, profound literary foundation and the ability to touch others with words, so I don't think I deserve the title of "grassroots writer". This is also the most contradictory and headache development angle in my life, because many online fans know me because of my words and pictures. After graduating from junior high school in China, he came to the United States to develop, and his Chinese writing level basically stayed at the middle school stage. Compared with those American alumni whose mother tongue is English, their English level is much worse. Neither language is my strong point, but many people who read my blog post say it is my "bright spot". I know, I'm screwed.

Many netizens don't believe that the ugly but simple girl who once took a selfie has now become a fledgling model in Chicago fashion, and many people don't believe that my photos are basically done by myself. Yes, my American father did 90% of my plane shooting. Of course, sometimes my mother also participated.

I didn't call my American father "stepfather" because I think he is closer than my biological father. He is not only my "American adoptive father", but also my confidante, mentor and work agent in my life, study and after-school work.

I have never hired a professional makeup artist, professional hair stylist, professional stylist, professional work planning, and professional photo post-production. So what did I do? I am mainly responsible for planning the shooting theme, designing my own photo pose, making makeup and styling my hair according to my limited ability, and making my own unskilled PS pictures later.

My American father, he is responsible for taking the most ideal photos for me. Because of limited funds, I have been shooting with Nikon camera of beginner model for many years, without professional flash and other camera accessories, using the most basic and cheapest photographic equipment. However, soon we will have a good professional camera and supporting settings, which is in dad's plan.

Where is my mother? She is responsible for modifying my makeup and hairstyle, inserting my eyebrows and working as a shooting assistant. Our current "shooting studio" is the living room of our apartment. The kitchen is open and communicates with the living room, so we put the background paper roll in the spare corner of the kitchen when we take pictures. Sometimes when we are shooting, we catch up with our mother to cook and smell the attractive smell of rice while shooting; Sometimes my mother will come over to help me blow my hair halfway through cooking. At this time, dad will take a few quick shots, "click click" until he is satisfied.

Our ability is limited, but after our works come out, the most gratifying thing is to get everyone's recognition and praise. Many netizens think that I have a strong working team behind me. After reading what I said above, what do you think now?
