Before meeting Adrian, Lin Zhiling had no acting experience at all. Even though she had worked as a part-time model for a few days, that experience was of no use, especially since it was in Taiwan, such a small place. The film adaptation of "Resident Evil" was scheduled to start filming by the end of the year at the latest, and especially after the game "Resident Evil 2" was released to critical acclaim, the movie's preparation had accelerated.
So, when Adrian arranged for Lin Zhiling to attend acting classes, he specifically had her undergo targeted crash training, as even playing a vase required some skill. It goes without saying that she needed to learn how to shape her body and exhibiting her sensual side was a must, especially in action scenes. Then there was the American English accent as well as the Hollywood style of making movies, among other things.
