I just watched 5 epsiodes of ‘最火搭档 Unriddle’…and this time, I didn’t even press the fast forward button! Yes, it is that good. How good?

It is very pacy…well crafted story-telling style. I like how each episode begins with the event already taken place but quickly drawing us back into the hours or days just before the event…

陈莉萍 Chen Li Ping is marvellous. There’s one scene when there was no dialogue at all and she was hugging the belongings of her father…that brought tears out of me… This is going to be her most lovable character after her Holland V’s classic role to date! Best Actress nomination again…high chance of a sure-get-in position in the Top 5.

瑞恩 Rui En will surprise many in this role…the Executive Producer commented that Rui En reminded him of the young 邓萃雯 and that is a big compliment. You will be impressed by Rui En who played this character well in the grey area. She is also very blessed to be picked in dramas surrounded by some of the best artistes and that also bought out her best…

郑斌辉 Tay Ping Hui may stand a very big chance to grab that Best Actor trophy from 陈汉玮 Chen Han Wei (acted brilliantly in 五福到 and 我在你左右) for his role in Unriddle. It will be a good fight this time round. You can feel the intensity – his pain, guilt and anger and that he did not even need to express through any exaggerated facial expressions or body language. Just pure 眼神… Though he only appeared in the first 4 episodes (another 3 more towards the finale)…he will leave a very deep impression…

The supporting characters are equally fantastic. 陈邦鋆 Andie Chen has certainly proven that he is on the right track to position himself as a 性格派艺人 since we last saw him in ‘The Little Nyonya’. Wang Yu Qing is a complete different person from his 老飞鱼 role in ‘泳闯琴关 No Limits’. Li Wen Hai, Zheng Ge Ping, Brandon Wong, Joshua Ang, Zhang Wei and Zhou Ying also shine in their small roles. Even those who acted as pimps and thugs, they come alive in their roles… Oh well…I only saw the first 5 episodes and there are many more cameo appearances by other stars to come…

For those who will be watching the preview of episode 1 at the Unriddle event tomorrow with the stars…feel free to pen your reviews and share share here yah…

“Let us consider that we are all partially insane.
It will explain us to each other; it will unriddle many riddles; it will make clear and simple many things which are involved in haunting and harassing difficulties and obscurities now.” Mark Twain

I love this and think it is so apt for the show also.

Rui-En stars as a no-nonsense police detective in the drama serial “Unriddle”.

SINGAPORE: Upcoming Mandarin cop drama “Unriddle” is quite possibly the most action-packed production in the past year and a half, with a ton of fight scenes and gunplay woven into a storyline filled with dirty cops, deranged killers and violent betrayals.

While the show has a very serious theme, behind the scenes, Rui En, who plays a no-nonsense police detective, was laughing her way through most of the shoot because of co-star veteran actress Chen Liping’s infectious laughter.

Rui-En breaks into laughter after listening to co-star Chen Liping’s comments at the “Unriddle” press event.

Rui-En cracks up as Chen Liping brings on the laughs.

“We can be working on very serious lines and she would start laughing. Once you hear her laugh, you will start laughing!

“I almost got internal injuries trying to keep from laughing!” said Rui En at the recent “Unriddle” press event, giggling as Chen looked on in amusement.

Rui En went on to reveal that she had forged a very strong bond with Chen, who plays an informant in the show, although this was the first time they collaborated on a production.

Indeed, the pair was spotted exchanging friendly banter during the press event and playfully nudged each other during a later photo shoot.

“Liping is the most generous artiste that I’ve had the chance to work with. She took care of me from day one.

“She has just been nothing but generous. I have been very blessed for such a very caring [co-star],” said the actress, citing how Chen had even asked her own personal assistant to help Rui En with various tasks.

“It just left a deep impression on me because normally, people who have assistants don’t do that. They pay the person to take care of them.

“I’ve never seen it before, you know, where people [ask their assistants] to help someone else,” said Rui En, looking thoroughly impressed by her co-star’s generosity.

Rui En the Stuntwoman

When the discussion turned to the unusually high number of action scenes in the show, Rui En’s eyes lit up.

The actress proudly declared that she did most of her own stunts in the show, though she would have done them all herself, if she hadn’t suffered a major ankle injury during a fight scene with television veteran Zheng Ge Ping, who plays a crime boss in the series.

She ended up shedding tears of frustration and had to take painkillers for some time during filming.

“I was frustrated that I had a lot more action scenes that I have to do in a compromised state. I hated that because I told myself I am not going to use stuntmen for any of my shots … but because of the injury … some shots [were done] with the stuntmen,” said Rui En, who sounded more than a little disappointed.

Doing your own stunts while nursing an injury? Isn’t that a little hardcore?

“No it isn’t. I believe in being committed hundred percent, even if it’s for just 30 seconds on screen, I have to give like everything I have, if not, I just feel like I am cheating the audience.

“It’s just maybe a month or two of pain but what you film is going to last forever … so to me, it’s worth it,” she replied.

With shooting finally over, Rui En said she is looking forward to take a nice, relaxing break from work, as she had recently run into some “inner ear problems”.

“The doctors said it’s probably because of stress and lack of sleep, so I am going to take it easy,” she said.

“I have become a girly girl … So embarrassing!” said Rui-En, still sporting the hair extensions she got for her role at the “Unriddle” press event.

The actress had been involved in back-to-back drama projects since she played a happy-go-lucky girl in “Happy Family” earlier this year.

“I need a rest,” Rui En said, her face a mixture of weariness and relief.

“Unriddle” airs from August 4, every weeknight at 9pm on Channel 8.

瑞恩挑大樑饰演的《过好年》，是上半年收视季军。

(新加坡讯) 针对媒体称当下是“欧白年代”，陈国明说，不要忘了“收视保證”瑞恩！

新传媒中文节目与宣传企划部副总裁陈国明日前在部落格上直言，媒体称目前是电视的“欧白年代”，意指欧萱和白薇秀将称霸新加坡影坛，但他认为媒体忘了还有个非常厉害的对手：瑞恩。

“2010年是瑞恩最亮眼的一年，她有3个非常不一样的角色。”

陈国明更大胆揣测，明年的红星大奖最佳女主角，瑞恩会被提名。

陈国明受访时说：“瑞恩和其他两位公主走的路线不一样，她是演技派的演员。”

瑞恩凭上半年收视冠军《我在你左右》，和季军《过好年》赢了欧萱，成为最吸睛的公主。

即将上档的《最火搭档》是否有望再创收视高峰，陈国明笑说：“让观众来决定吧！”

监製赞像邓萃雯

《最火搭档》监製袁树伟表示，瑞恩很像年轻时的邓萃雯。

“她们一样不是超级美女，但却有一股神秘的魅力散发出来，不论是眼神、感情或是内心戏都能拿捏得恰到好处。”

另外，他也赞瑞恩是个很专业尽责的演员，不畏辛苦，什么场面都自己上场，一定要把自己的角色演好。

袁树伟直言，像瑞恩那么努力的演员，又能挑战非常不同的角色，日后像邓萃雯一样成为电视阿姐，指日可待。

入戏太深

挨痛拍完整部戏，瑞恩拍完后竟还以为自己是警察！

瑞恩受访时说，她在拍第一场动作戏时撞伤了脚踝，结果忍痛、一拐一拐地拍完整部戏。

对于未来走向，瑞恩说一切等休息后再谈。

“我这次拍完《最火搭档》，有一天去跑步看见警车，竟下意识瞪著车里的警察，心想他们怎么没等我一起出发！当时我就告诉自己，我真的需要休息一下！哈哈！”

Liping’s laughter was the key to defrosting the icy Rui En as the two collaborate for the first time on MediaCorp’s latest drama

Known as the Ice Princess of Caldecott, one would hardly expect Rui En to hit off well with anyone.

However, it seems that Chen Liping has managed to melt the Ice Queen’s heart.

At the press conference for Unriddle, Liping proudly declared that Rui En is no longer a ‘princess’, but an Ice Queen.

“However, we are the ‘hottest’ partners so the ice has melted already!” joked Liping.

Liping was right about the melting ice: the icy Rui En appeared cheery throughout the press conference and even shared anecdotes.

“She has a really infectious laughter and she goes out of breath when she laughs, which in turn makes me laugh as well,” said Rui En.

In Unriddle, the two of them take on leading roles as police investigators working as a team to solve crimes. Liping’s role was originally slated to be played by Zoe Tay; however, she had to back out when she got pregnant with her third child.

Judging from their interactions on the press conference and in the interview with xinmsn,
Liping and Rui En appeared to have gotten on pretty well despite this being their first collaboration.

Contrary to her usually-reserved demeanour, the 29-year-old Rui En frequently cracked jokes and was all praises for Liping.

“Liping took great care of me since the first day; she is the most generous artiste I’ve ever met!”

Rui En went on to explain that Liping had let her personal assistant help out Rui En unconditionally.

Liping also complimented Rui En on her acting.

“I thought that she was a good actress when I saw her other works; after working with her, I realize she is better than I thought!”

While Rui En’s With You received positive ratings, Liping’s Your Hand in Mine did not go well with audience.

Both of them explained that audience response is not within their control and they can only do their own best.

“As performers we just concentrate on doing our scenes and doing our own job well. That’s all we can do.”

Are you an Ordinary or Priority Member?

Idol Worship by Jonathan Fam

A couple of posters of Rui En or Joanne Peh on your wall don’t qualify you as a die-hard fan, at least not according to these fan clubs that expect nothing less than complete devotion to their patron star from members. Here’s the low-down on six local fan clubs.

In praise of… Rui En (Page 38)

Name of FC: RBKD

Established: In 2008.

Slogan: “Traversing the road less traveled, lux veritas” (Roughly translated as ‘light and truth’) as suggested by Rui En.

Prove your loyalty: “Every member writes her a letter every second Friday of the month. By the way, when will she appear on your cover again? It’s already been a year.”

瑞恩2002年在台湾以歌手身分出道，代表作《白色羽毛》由同门师兄周傑伦作曲。同年，她演出他《八度空间》专辑歌曲《暗号》的MV。MV里，周傑伦为他变魔术，两人还有相拥的镜头。

周董当年来新为专辑宣传，师妹瑞恩也到场站台打气。

(新加坡讯)瑞恩享有“J女郎”的“待遇”，她却摇头猛挥手抗议：“我不是J女郎！我是自己的女郎。”

周傑伦今晚将在新加坡连开3场演唱会，两人曾是同门师兄妹，她会不会捧场？瑞恩说：“买不到票啊，而且我週末会到印尼拍杂誌封面。可是我的朋友有买。”

瑞恩前天出席今年的第叁部9点档剧集《最火搭档》的记者会，不只否认是“J女郎”，也排斥同剧阿姐陈莉萍“加封”她“冰山女王”的封号。她眉头微皱，说：“我不知道她在说什么。”

拍打戏受伤脚肿2个月

很喜欢拍动作戏的瑞恩，为《最》慎重其事，还特地找教练锻炼身体，为女警探的角色做準备，而剧中的打戏几乎自己上阵，还主动要求增加打鬥场面打戏，不料，拍摄时她却意外踢伤脚踝，让她当场飙泪。

“很痛啊，痛到全身顿时麻痹，之后就感觉到疼痛，但还是忍痛拍摄。我很少在人前流泪，我当时哭不是因为痛，而是我自己要求加戏，结果却受伤，接下来又有很多场打戏要拍，所以我很pek chek（气愤）。”

对自己要求100％投入的她最后忍痛完成拍摄，第二天又拍从二楼跳窗的动作戏。儘管她的脚踝又痛又肿，走路一拐一拐，剧组劝她别逞强，她仍坚持打戏都自己来。她说：“我会要拼，所以吃止痛药，开机时我就忍痛，关机我就一拐一拐的。”受伤却不能休息，结果她的脚踝肿了足足2个月。

不要叫瑞恩公主，她是ice queen

新加坡“哎哟哟”陈莉萍成功将“冰山劈开”，与瑞恩第一次合作，她说：“不要叫瑞恩公主，她是‘ice queen’。（冰天女皇）。”

前天在新剧《最火搭档》记者会上，陈莉萍又妙语如珠，当面对瑞恩说：“你不要再这样‘蓝’（抑鬱）了，冰已经溶化掉了。”

黄炯耀透露，第一天开工时，他们还有点担心2女合作会不愉快。

“后来开工，陈莉萍笑到停不了。”

搞笑功力强

瑞恩也说，她很惊讶陈莉萍的笑功可以这么好，两人在对沉重的台词，陈莉萍还可以很滑稽，可以笑到无法呼吸….搞到她也被感染，笑出来。

陈莉萍补充，2人是很认真要把戏演好，尽量控制不笑。

“辛苦你了，这么认真的人。”她转头对身旁的瑞恩说，搞到对方啼笑皆非。

之后，陈莉萍认真说，瑞恩其实跟初出道的她很像，都是“慢热型的演员，因为专注于工作”。

“其实，我很期待跟瑞恩合作。她的拼劲，让我看到20多年前的我。”

今年是她入行25週年，陈莉萍感谢新传媒终于把她从“auntie”角色中拉出来，让她拍第一部警匪片，还可以当“卧底”。
