Music
In 1999, Zhao also entered the music industry and released her first album, Swallow. It included several tunes from the series Princess Pearl. Since then, she has released several other albums. The same year, Magic of Love was released. In 2001, Zhao released the album The Last Separation, based on her recent breakup with her boyfriend. Zhao's first three albums sold well in China, selling over 3 million copies, but received a lukewarm response from critics. [4] As part of the soundtrack for Romance in the Rain, Zhao performed several songs written by Chiung Yao. In the actual television series, Zhao's character, Lu Yiping, also performed many songs.
After taking a three-year break from singing to focus on her acting work, in 2004 Zhao released the album Piao (飄), meaning "moving as time goes by." Zhao recorded this album in hopes of coping with the rumours about her. Fans and critics alike feel Zhao's new album shows a more mature and expressive singing technique.[6] Included in the album were hits such as "Jian Jian" and "Continuous Rainy Sunday." The successful album sold 300,000 copies in ten days.[4]Her most recent album is titled Double (双), which included the popular hits "One Tiny Part" and "Shangguan Yan and I." It also included "Fa Xian (Realize)", based on the theme song of Moment in Peking.
Her music career is highlighted by her wins in the Channel V Chinese Music Award in 2006 for Most Popular Female Artist and Most Popular Music Video for her music video "Shangguan Yan and I" and MTV Asia Favourite Artist from Mainland China.[7]
