本地红星活动价码曝光！本地2大“阿姐”郑惠玉、范文芳喊价9000元，白薇秀每场活动收6500元，稳当“捞金公主”！
圈内人大揭密，白薇秀、瑞恩、戴阳天、黄俊雄等本地艺人，出席活动价码首次曝光！已升上“神台”的2大本地阿姐郑惠玉、范文芳，只须本地亮相活动，即可轻松捞金9000至1万元；“当家公主”白薇秀每出席一次活动，据悉收费约6500元，虽然价码稍低于欧萱、瑞恩，但圈内人说，她是厂商品牌的宠儿，尤其时尚品牌开幕、周年、发表新季服装等活动，都愿砸钱邀她出席添“星光”！
瑞恩和欧萱经纪约属艺人网络经纪公司（Artiste Network），圈内人透露，双姝各喊价7000元，开出的价码是本地花旦之首，但表示：“如果给得起这个价，倒不如请白薇秀！她漂亮、高挑、得体，是很多品牌商家的首选，当然也要考虑场合和产品。”

新加坡3公主失威？金牌监制在马来西亚秘制3“甘榜公主”。
3新上位的“甘榜公主”是马来西亚美后巫恩仪、07年的“才华”决赛者雅慧和周颖。
狮城公主气势转弱
新加坡电视圈捧出来的7公主目前仅剩欧萱、瑞恩和白薇秀。而离巢公主的表现也都不俗，尤其是在《行医》中表现亮眼的刘子绚也拍了电影，来势汹汹。
随着在马来西亚拍剧、夺回新加坡7点档时段的新传媒区域制作副总裁兼金牌监制杨锡彬，在马来西亚也捧出3“甘榜公主”，新加坡剩下的3公主可说是“腹背受敌”。

2008年半年，新传媒7点档和9点档出现七公主“再循环”，接力演的情况，可谓“7公主全盛期”。但随着谢宛谕在2009年辞演超级大戏《当我们同在一起》后，随即引起一发不可收拾的公主出走风，走了姚懿珊、陈靓瑄和刘子绚，仅留下“公主”欧萱、瑞恩和白薇秀“留守电视山”。
预览2012年上半年的6部9点档电视剧的女主角，欧萱、瑞恩和白薇秀就占了5部，当家花旦的宝座，非她们莫属。
新传媒高层陈国明认为，“现代的花旦虽没有要求有‘一笑江山覆’的本事，但无论在姿色、气质或才情方面，她们都是出类拔萃，举手投足间都是夺目的风华”，要能成为一部剧里的注目焦点。
他说：“我觉得欧萱就是姿色代表香香公主（《书剑恩仇录》）、瑞恩是气质代表任盈盈（《笑傲江湖》），还有白薇秀的就是才情代表黄蓉（《射雕英雄传》）。”
若以人气指数、收视保证、受捧程度以、曝光及产量来评定“花旦”，三女其实不遑相让。然而，若以参与超级大制作的次数来看，今年“消失”本地电视的欧萱却独占鳌头。
反观，瑞恩与重头剧无缘，但过去两年已奠定收视女王的地位，小刀锯大树杀出血路。紧握收视王牌的她当然是“最后收视保证”的花旦。
周颖 郭惠雯 等待时机？
2008年到2011年的4部超级大制作中（《小》、《当》、《破》、《星》），周颖和郭惠雯其实都各参与两部，借由备受关注的重头剧增加人气和观众缘。
但，2012年上半年的6部9点档电视剧中，周颖和郭惠雯仍无法独当一面。三大花旦中，欧萱将出演《995》和《我爱狐狸精》，瑞恩有《最火搭档2》和《花样人间》各包两部，白薇秀则确定参与《再见单人床》，2012年想必仍是三大花旦的年。
不过，新传媒高层陈国明受询认为，周颖和蔡琦慧游走花旦边缘，只要碰到好作品，就有机会上位。周颖明年将演出《最》2，蔡琦慧则将与瑞恩齐名，以女主角身份演出7点档《正义武馆》。
Code of Honour 正义武馆 debuts 5 December 2011 7pm on Channel 8.
Unriddle 2 最火搭档 2 debuts 5 March 2012 9pm on Channel 8.
Joys of Life 花样人间 debuts June 2012 9pm on Channel 8.

力拼陈丽萍瑞恩
问及欧萱觉得最强的对手是哪位时，她表示自己没时间看其他4位对手陈丽萍、白薇秀、瑞恩及周颖的戏，所以并不晓得她们演得如何。她说：“因为工作时间的关系，所以我没看剧，我是听其他人说的，当中就陈丽萍及瑞恩的呼声还蛮高的。”这也是欧萱与陈丽萍第3次交手了，陈丽萍是欧萱很尊敬的演员，两人第一次合作是早年的《荷兰村》。陈丽萍的专业及待人周道让欧萱留下极佳印象，“到现在，她还把我当妹妹般的看待，我也还是会称她为大姐，她入围，我也替她高兴。”
由于欧萱近期都在大马拍剧，还没有机会碰上其他演员聊及入围的心情。而另一对手瑞恩与欧萱来自同一经纪公司，对于对手第一次入围，欧萱大方祝福对方：“虽是同一经纪公司，但我觉得还好，没什么影响的。我觉得她也努力了很久，入行应该都有8年了吧，这也是她第一次入围，终于得到了一个肯定，我觉得是值得高兴的。”

Breakout Stars
Elvin Ng starred in two of the top 10 Channel 8 dramas lst year while Rui En acted in three. Are they the new King and Queen of Caldecott Hill?

Top of the Hill
The recently released llist of Top 10 Channel 8 dramas shows there is a new crop of talent ready to take over Caldecott Hill.
By Rachael Boon
And the Top 10 Channel 8 dramas for 2010 are ….
Have a look at the list featured on these pages and many will wonder: Where are the names of Singapore TV’s enduring dynamic duo, Fann Wong and Zoe Tay?
The Queens of Caldecott Hill are nowhere to be seen in the line-up of those starring in the Top 10 list.
The new queen of the Hill is the versatile Rui En, 30, who acted in three dramas which are among the top five Channel 8 shows. She starred in With You, Happy Family and Unriddle.
As for Fann and Tay, they did not even act in any MediaCorp dramas last year to put them in contention. Fann has been busy filming overseas and Tay was pregnant.
The last blockbuster which both of them starred in, along with the two Ah Ge Li Nanxing and Tay Ping Hui, was 2009′s The Ultimatum, which received a lukewarm response. It was criticised for being too melodramatic.
Indeed, the top 10 list runs the gamut of content, from police dramas to stories about families and light-hearted comedy.
The top 10 shows are all MediaCorp’s productions except Taiwanese drama Love.
Modest productions such as With You a supernatural-themed tearjerker, New Beginnings, which dealt with the wedding and funeral industries, and the heart-warming Happy Family, trumped the blockbuster drama Breakout.
Indeed, with Channel 8′s top 10 dramas featuring a greater variety of actors and a wide range of drama genres, it is a sign that big names and blockbusters are not needed to lure viewers.
Things are certainly different from 10 years ago, says actress Cynthia Koh, who has been in the industry since 1992. She says viewers are constantly changing and looking for something more.
The Ah Ge and Ah Jie labels also no longer matter these days because teamwork is more important in producing good dramas, she says.
Rui En is clearly on a trajectory, with a Best Actress nomination for Star Awards 2011 in her bag for her role as a widow in With You, and having acted in three top-rated drama serials in a year.
She was one of MediaCorp’s Seven Princesses – the rest of whom were Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh, Jesseca Liu, Felicia Chin, Fiona Xie and Dawn Yeoh.
The Seven Princesses was a term coined by the Chinese press in 2006, where the seven were said to be next in line to succeed Zoe and Fann.
Until last year, Rui En had never been a crowd favourite, but with other contenders such as Xie, Chin, Yeoh and Liu leaving MediaCorp, her name has come.
Life!’s Asian TV reviewer Foong Woei Wan says Rui En is finally getting the attention she deserves.
She says: “She doesn’t do the usual Channel 8 acting. In With You, she shows that you don’t have to shout, you can whisper and still hold viewers’ attention.”
Along with the new queen comes her royal partner, Elvin Ng, with two Best Actor nominates in a row.
Actor Alan Term, who has a decade of experience and appeared in various top shows last year, says he does see Ng and Rui En as the new generation of leads.
He says, “They are already leads now so I see them as the next pillars of MediaCorp as they are doing pretty well.”

Ice queen turns nice queen
It has been a long climb to the summit, but Rui En, 30, is finally enjoying the view.
The actress, who has been in show business for more than a decade, looks set to be crowned the new queen of Caldecott Hill.
Recognition has finally come, thanks to her roles in three top-rated Channel 8 dramas – With You, Happy Family and Unriddle – and a Best Actress nomination for her role as a grieving widow in With You.
The fortunate series of events did not happen overnight for her. She is known as one of MediaCorp’s seven “princesses”, yet she says her has seen her career “progress in a backward manner”.
By this she explains that she is hardly on top of the popularity pack like the other “princesses” such as Jeanette Aw and Joanne Peh.
In an interview with LifeStyle, she says: “About what I achieved last year, in terms of ratings or anything else, I feel a lot of irony and a little bit of vindication.”
Explaining why, she says: “When this whole “seven princesses” thing was started by the Chinse press in 2006, the media would get people to compare the seven of us and there would be rankings and lists. The funny thing was that then, I was always No. 5 or No. 6.
“Just a few years ago, that was how the media and the public saw me. It was said that I was a bit too distant, the audience wouldn’t accept me, I was too aloof.”
But now, three of her shows have made it to the list of the top five Channel 8 dramas.
The supposed ice queen has since further melted viewers’ hearts with her role as the simle-minded and optimistic Xiaodong in Happy Family, which aired in January last year, She feels that it was that role which made viewers see that she could be more than an ice queen and credits this to the executive producer of Happy Family, Mr Paul Yuen, who cast her.
“For reasons that I don’t know, he decided to cast me as a girl who was simple minded to the point of being silly,” she says.
“The fact that he gave me the chance really changed viewers’ perception of me and I’m very grateful. It turned out to be one of the most comfortable roles I’ve ever played because Xiaodong was very happy and positive.”
Rui En’s hard work over the past decade has paid off. Loyal fans who have stuck with her are really being affected by her moving portrayals in tragic roles such as a widow in With You.
She says: “One auntie came up to me and said, ‘Watching your show makes me cry’. She paused and continued, ‘Actually thinking about it now, I’m going to cry already’. So I was like, ‘oh no, please don’t cry’.”
She adds: “I’m very grateful that viewers have matured to the point where they recognise you for what you are and what you stand for. The recognition I’ve got has proven that.”
