Newly-crowned TV queen Rui En escapes the Star Awards curse with not only a continuous stream of roles, but also high viewership ratings for the current hit The In-Laws.

In the past, many Star Award TV queens seem to have their careers cursed soon after winning, with their popularity dwindling. For instance, 1997’s Carole Lin (The Price Of Peace), 1999’s Cynthia Koh (Stepping Out) and 2007’s Yvonne Lim (Metamorphosis), were all actresses who won the Star Awards’ Best Actress Award and subsequently suffered career setbacks due to declining viewership.

Even Joanne Peh, who was often referred to as a princess by the media, could not escape this fate. After her victory in 2009 with the drama Little Nyonya, she became stuck in the 180-episode Your Hand In Mine, which performed worse than expected.

But Rui En, who had already been crowned as a viewership queen earlier this year, has seemingly escaped the curse. After winning the Best Actress Award at the Star Awards 2 weeks ago, she’s getting strong reviews for her lead role in The In-Laws, a 9pm drama. After playing a simple-minded lady in A Tale Of Two Cities, her new role as a delicate wife in The In-Laws has once again received much praise.

The In-Laws, which is halfway into its run (21st episode shown on Tuesday), has attracted an average of 843,000 viewers. This figure is closing in on that of the defending champion A Tale Of Two Cities, which starred Rui En and Joanne Peh. The 21-episode drama drew a record average of 904,000 viewers.

Rui En is currently filming On the Fringe and already has another 2 TV dramas in the pipeline, Code of Honour and Unriddle II, ensuring she has high exposure in the coming months.

新科视后瑞恩“瑞”不可当，躲过“红星魔咒”，不只连连接戏，目前热播的《麻婆斗妇》收视也报捷！

历来红星大奖的视后登上殿堂位置后，似乎都难逃“红星魔咒”，即得奖后星运、人气却“殿后”。如，1997年的林晓佩（《和平的代价》）、1999年的许美珍（《出路》）、2007年的林湘萍（《破茧而出》），皆在夺得红星大奖最佳女主角之后，星运不但未能获视后光环的加持扶摇直上，事业反而遇瓶颈。

这个厄运，就连贵为公主的白薇秀也没幸免，她在2009年以《小娘惹》封视后之后，“受困”180集的《想握你的手》，不料剧集反应未比预期理想。

早在年头就奠定收视女王地位的瑞恩，虽然两个星期前又加上“红星视后”头衔，但却似逃过魔咒。她所主演的9点档《麻婆斗妇》收视保持她的优良纪录。瑞恩继《乐》的傻大姐角色后，在《麻》饰演娇柔弱女也再度交出满意表现，获得赞赏。

已播出超过一半的《麻》（截至前晚播出21集），平均吸引84万3000名观众收看。这个成绩已逼近目前卫冕全年最高收视率、由瑞恩与白薇秀主演的《乐在双城》，共21集的《乐》平均吸引90万4000名观众。

此外，瑞恩目前在拍摄《边缘父子》，并已确定接下《正义武馆》及《最火搭档2》两部电视剧，保持居高不下的曝光率与生产力，势如破竹，不红都难。

1. Special Report! Page 28

This year, for the first time, three major Ch 8 shows starring our biggest and brightest will be filmed entirely in Malaysia, truly Asia. You’ve probably caught the occasional Ch 8 Malaysian co-productions like The Beginning, a rehash of Zoe Tay and Li Nanxing’s Rising Expectations, remade with a mainly Malaysian cast and filmed in a Malaysian city. Then there are Ch 8 blockbusters like The Little Nyonya and Together, where the ’60s street scenes were filmed on location in Penang and Malacca. More recently, there was A Tale of 2 Cities, filmed partly in KL…though you really can’t film A Tale of 2 Cities in just one city, can you?

But this year, the move up north is starting to look like a serious commitment. Yes, only to refer to actual birds kept in cages for amusement. Which is what makes any of these towns the perfect backdrop for period dramas like Nyonya and the three upcoming Ch 8 blockbusters: Kampung Ties, where Yvonne Lim and Ann Kok are BFFs who live in a small village; Code of Honour, an Elvin Ng-Rui En martial arts school vehicle; and the tentatively-titled The Coolies’ Quarters, starring Dai Yangtian as also home to seven million Chinese viewers who, according to the head of MediaCorp Studios Malaysia, Yeo Saik Pin, are much more appreciative of our stars.

The Car: Toyota Celica

Price: Approx $100,000 brand new

Guess who? We reckon the tinted glass should shield this famously reticient and oh-so-cool Best Actress from the discomfort of having to wave at fans when she stops at a red light.

少话视帝视后

巧的是，今年的“视帝”于“视后”都是少话一族。阿武和瑞恩在后台拿着奖座拍照时，没有兴高采烈，只是露出幸福的微笑。

Yes, a brand new martial arts drama series ‘Code Of Honour 正义武馆’ is going to be in production really soon! Set in the 60s Singapore, the show unfolds in the Yuan Martial Arts School (元门武馆) — a prestigious, time-honoured and one of the largest school of its kind during that time.

The leader of this school 掌门人, 元振飞, is played by Zheng Ge Ping 郑各评.

Also starring in this 30-part series, we have our charming smile winner Elvin Ng (吃巧克力时间到了!). In fact, we have 2 of Elvins in this show. He is casted as a pair of twins 宋亚仔 and 元晨曦. If you realise, they have different surnames and that’s because in the show, they are separated since birth and not only do they have different surnames, they are very different persons too.

元晨曦, twin of 宋亚仔, grew up in the martial arts school and thus he was also very well skilled in martial arts. 元振飞 is his father (or so he thinks) and brought him up with great love and care. However, while he was going for a competition overseas, he met with an accident with his mother and died at such young age.

宋亚仔 is a down-to-earth and honest man. Even though a tad reserved, he is well skilled in martial arts and has a strong sense of Justice. He was separated from his twin brother and was brought up in Thailand. He was called back by his mother on her deathbed and since his return, he works and stays in a fish farm, living a very simple life. 元振飞 mistook him as his son and tried to get his assistance in saving his martial arts school.

Taking on the role of the strong rival, 欧剑锋, who wishes to see the fall of 元门武馆 is Andie Chen 陈邦鋆.

This man is a very strong martial arts exponent who will do whatever it takes to blow a hole in the prestige of 元门武馆. He will even use underhand methods to achieve his goals. Despite that, his attractive charismatic looks coupled with his great martial arts skills, he has no lack of suitors around him at all.

Playing his sister, 欧可璐, is our reigning Princess of Caldecott Hill, Rui En. I think this is a very interesting combination and for that I’m already looking forward to watch the show.

欧可璐 is lazy, self-indulgent and mischievious. She’s also the most half-hearted when it comes to training. 欧剑锋 instigated her to join 元门武馆 as an undercover student to snoop into their internal affairs. She quickly realises his bad intentions and did not want to assist him. She begins to take pity on 元门武馆. As things progressed, she fell in love with 宋亚仔.

看招!

60年代怀旧剧《正义武官》5月拉队到马来西亚开拍， 监制杨锡彬启程前，先传召演员们见面，进行一轮整装工作。

一代宗师由郑各评演绎，现场示范各式武打甫士，感染到瑞恩也来一招飞鹰展翅。

瑞恩随身携带讲述内阁资政李光耀如何建立国家的书籍，欲多了解那年代的历史。哇，书像字典一样厚，她却一副读得津津有味的摸样。

除了和瑞恩再以荧幕情侣出击，黄小生也将与饰演现代版苦命灰姑娘的童冰玉谈恋爱。只是两人才刚碰面，男方就频挖苦童小姐看来像姐姐。

告别《麻婆斗妇》与《边缘父子》的善良弱女角色，瑞恩这回饰演男仔头打女。大展拳脚早不是第一次，更大惊喜是看她如何诠释 “招摇撞骗误打误撞进入武官习武” 的小人物。

他们…赢了咯！

戚玉武+瑞恩 >> 第一次

新生代抬头! 首次获得 “视帝”、 “视后” 的他们，都是靠“眼泪”突围。相比于曹国辉和潘玲玲的苦等20年，戚玉武和瑞恩可幸运多了，因为他们“只”等了10年。平常以“冷”见称的酷哥、酷姐，连得奖也很“冷静”，瑞恩获知成为“视后”，当场愣了一下，倒是现场粉丝，简直陷入疯狂状态！

红星大奖

《红星大奖》落幕，欢欣的、失落的心情各异； 虽然都知道是一场游戏，但，总会因“得”而欣喜，因“失”而失望； 像郭亮，一连3项提名都落空，自己还得若无其事主持大局，还真难为啊。

在节目现场，台下的我，拿着自己在担任评审时，记录下的“成绩”对照，看看自己的“评审成绩”和最后总结的评审积分成绩，可有太大差距？喔，自己还蛮“准确”的，几乎是95%对； 只有“最佳女主角”方面，我个人是把第一投给了陈莉萍, 因觉得她在《最火搭档》里演出的卧底，很多场戏都让人很感动，瑞恩在我的评分里是第二，如果以戏里的表现，她在《我在你左右》的表现略逊陈莉萍。

但，瑞恩这几年里，在多部电视剧里演出的角色，显示了她的努力用功，她的得奖，我也赞同，是时候给她奖项上的肯定。 就像担任很多歌唱比赛的评审那样，如果水准差距很大，那就非常容易得出结果，分数总结清楚分明； 但，水准伯仲间的比赛者，优胜者的险胜出位，对评审而言，都不会有异议。
