Up, up and away
The mood was sombre at the press meet for Adrian Pang’s Ch 8 swansong With You in the aftermath of Felicia Chin bidding adieu at the Star Awards.
Chen Shucheng speaks up!
“It saddens me that some artistes cannot accept the terms on their contracts. But there needs to be some give and take – you don’t demand for too much. That’s why when I sign my contract, I’m in and out in five minutes. Of course, the company has to be fair too. I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but I haven’t had an onscreen wife for the past four years and I’m always the single parent. And in With You, I’ve to advise my daughter-in-law (played by Rui En) about abortion. That doesn’t sound right, does it?”

With You
May 12, Wednesday, Channel 8, 9PM
A ‘remake’ of Fiona Xie’s Maggie & Me, this 20-parter is about a man (Adrian Pang in his swansong MediaCorp role) who’s a go-between between a wandering spirit (Chen Hanwei) and his wife (Rui En).
