Caldecott Hill’s ice princess plays an aggrieved daughter-in-law in her next role

Her last role was a badass-kicking police office Hu Xiaoman in Unriddle. Come next year, not only will you see Rui En as a girly girl in A Tale of 2 Cities, this versatile actress will also play the role of an aggrieved daughter-in-law in The In-Laws.

In The In-Laws, Rui En plays a girl-next-door character, who is down-to-earth and has a passion for recycling. She plays an onscreen couple with Pierre Png and her character will constantly be in oppression because of her controlling mother-in-law and a scheming sister-in-law.

“My character in this drama is very different from the one in A Tale of 2 Cities. I was a princess girl in that one; unruly, willful with a penchant for dressing up. I don’t like to dress up. I wasn’t used to the nail polish to the high heels. This is a girl-next-door character, so it has a more casual style,” said Rui En at the photo shoot for The In-Laws.

Her character in The In-Laws might be closer to Rui En’s style, but the actress said that it was a challenge to interpret the character’s personality in the story.

“My previous roles often fight back when messed with or fight for something they want. However, this character is bullied right from the start and she tolerates it completely. My previous characters were more independent and assertive,” replied the 29-year-old.

Rui En admitted it was a “new experience for her to be given an aggrieved and pitiful role” and that she watched Taiwanese drama Love and Korean drama A Wife’s Temptation for acting tips.

“I set very high standards for myself in every drama I do. I would write a few pages of my character’s background, for example, her tribulations when she was a child,” said Rui En, who always treated the roles she played seriously.

A year ago, Rui En spent a very meaningful Christmas, by volunteering at a children’s home.

“Those children are usually very lonely. It’s meaningful to them when outsiders visit them during Christmas,” reminisced the actress.

This year, Rui En was roped in for an ad against drunk-driving and had the chance to show off her singing chops.

The actress also expressed that she usually does not receive many Christmas presents, nor has she received any special ones. However, Rui En does have something she wants, and that is to “rest at home alone”.

Despite having a heavy schedule now, Rui En said that she would have time to rest very soon.

Would the actress follow in Felicia Chin’s footsteps, taking a temporary break from showbiz or be like Jesseca Liu, signing onto another management company?

“I’m not someone who thinks too much. I do what I love doing, I’m hardly ambitious. I only know I love acting,” said Rui En.

This year, the 29-year-old actress was involved in three different productions, namely Happy Family, With You and Unriddle; all of which garnered good ratings. Does she hope to clinch something at the Star Awards next year?

“I didn’t think so much. That includes Star Awards. I never had expectations. I’m satisfied as long as the ratings are good and feedback from the viewers is good. I wouldn’t ask for anything more, since I’m already doing what I like best,” replied Rui En.

“冷面”女郎瑞恩自爆追看台湾长剧《爱》，只为诠释委屈媳妇角色！

“冷面”女郎瑞恩自爆追看台湾长剧《爱》，只为诠释委屈媳妇角色！

瑞恩在新传媒8频道新剧《麻婆斗妇》中，将饰演热爱环保，个性纯朴、踏实的邻家女孩的角色。戏中她嫁给方展发，由于家婆爱操控媳妇，大嫂又诡计多多，令她的角色感到非常委屈。

瑞恩日前为该戏拍摄造型时，接受xinmsn专访时说：”这部戏的角色跟之前《乐在双城》的角色很不一样，因为那是演一个有公主病的女孩子，比较刁蛮、任性、爱打扮，但我不大喜欢打扮，从涂指甲到高跟鞋都是我不习惯。而这部是邻家女孩的造型，整个造型比较随性。”

虽然《麻婆斗妇》里的角色造型较接近瑞恩本人的风格，但要诠释故事人物的性格却是一个挑战。她说：”我以前演的都是你惹我，我会顶嘴，或争取到底的，但这个角色一开始被人欺负时，是完全用忍去带过，而且会受到很多委屈。 之前演的是比较独立、有主见的角色，突然要演一个很委屈、很可怜的媳妇，对我来说是很新鲜。”

为了揣摩委屈媳妇，她还自爆说：”作为参考，我会看《爱》和《妻子的诱惑》。”

她坦言，平时她是不会看这两部戏的，但为了角色，她就从中偷师。

对每个角色都认真对待的瑞恩说：”拍每一部戏，我的自我要求都很高。我会自己编写几页有关该角色的背景，看她小时候遇过什么事情等。”

最想得到的圣诞礼物

去年瑞恩过了一个最有意义的圣诞，她在圣诞节期间到儿童院当志工。”那些孩子平时都很孤独，圣诞期间有外面的人去探望他们，很有意义。”

今年她就有机会一展歌艺，为一支酒后驾车的广告唱广告歌，透过10几秒的时间传达酒后驾车要小心的讯息。

谈到圣诞礼物，她表示，其实收的礼物不多，也没有收过什么很特别的礼物，而心里一直想有一份圣诞礼物，就是”自己呆在家里休息”!

尽管来年瑞恩的档期已排得满满，但她说，应该很快就有一些时间能够休息一下。

瑞恩在《麻婆斗妇》中，饰演热爱环保，个性纯朴的角色。

有望拿红星大奖？

被问会否仿效陈靓瑄暂时离开娱乐圈，或如刘子绚般另签经纪公司？

瑞恩说：”我不是一个会想很多的人，我只做我喜欢做的东西，没有什么抱负，只知道很喜欢演戏。”

今年瑞恩参与演出的《过好年》、《你在我左右》和《最火搭档》收视不俗，她有否期望在《红星大奖》中得奖？

瑞恩笑着说：”我没有想很多，包括红星大奖。我从来没有什么期待，只要戏收视不错，观众的反应也是不错，我已经很满意了。 我现在已经很开心，已经可以做自己爱做的东西，我不会要求更多的东西。”

Female celebs rock out in masculine frocks on the red carpet

23 December 2010

MAN up.

That’s what some foreign female celebrities seem to be doing as they ditch feminine frocks in favour of men’s suits on the red carpet.

Actresses such as Leighton Meester, Olivia Wilde, AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Alba and Winona Ryder, and supermodels including Kate Moss and Agyness Deyn have been showing off their edgier side since last month.

Meester and Moss, for example, have gone the whole hog, teaming their suits with skinny ties.

Local TV actresses Rui En, Jeanette Aw and Jacelyn Tay have also opted for variations of this androgynous look.

But they are a minority among Singapore women who prefer safe sartorial choices.

It All Slips Away, performed by Rui En

Places you’ve been
People you love
It’s unforgiving
To choose to lose it all
The life that you wished for
The joy you will feel
It all slips away
It all slips away
