Julian Bai

Julian Bai (Chinese: 白朱利安; pinyin: Bái Zhū lì'ān or 朱利安白; Zhū lì'ān Bái; born October 10, 1968) is a Tsengian singer-songwriter and actor. He is one of the members of the Tsengge Eight, having several hits in the 1990s, the most notable ones being "Forty Roses" and "Forever Love".

Early life
Bai was born prematurely in Lang Cit, Cadasa. At the age of 2, the Bai family moved and settled in Tseng City. At age 18, Bai dropped out of university after an argument with his professor, who had insulted Bai.

Career
Bai was dishonorably discharged from the Tsengian Army after an altercation in 1987. Bai was disgraced by his own family members, and kicked Bai out. Then, his life was very hard. He lived under a bridge and worked many low-paying jobs to support himself. Then, in early 1988, he became a nightclub singer for a pub in Minzhu District. He was noticed by Cooper Chao, who was there at the time, and later persuaded Bai to sign a contract with Zenghe Inc.

It wasn't until Bai's third album, which was Forty Roses (1991), that he became popular, selling 1 million copies. Then, his next album, Listen (1992) sold 700,000 copies. However, after these two albums, Bai's singing popularity faded until his 1998 album Forever Love, which sold 500,000 copies and reestablished Bai as one of the top singers.

During the period from 1992-1998, Bai was very (and still) popular in the film industry. He was nominated for the and the Spring Festival Film Awards 5 times, but never winning an award for some reason.
