Page "Ruby Lin" Paragraph 20

After making the digital film Evening of Roses, Lin took on more challenging roles.

In late 2007, she co-starred as Daji with Ray Lui in The Legend and the Hero 2 ( also known as Fengshen Bang – 封神榜 ), one of the major vernacular Chinese novels written during the Ming Dynasty.

After speculation over who would receive the leading role of Daji ( who was known for her beauty and cruelty which ruined a dynasty ), the role was offered to Lin.

When Lin committed to play Daji, she could not escape comparison with Fan Bingbing, who played the same role in the first part of the series.

Lin's performance received generally positive comments from media.

NetandTV commented, " In comparison to the previous version, the bright spot in this new version's Daji gets a new makeover.

Ruby Lin's look gave Daji a brand-new definition ".

Lin has often said " comparing with other people is meaningless, I just wants a breakthrough from past looks, to surpass myself.
