One thing we learnt from the night’s proceedings at the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 awards ceremony: When brought together, both Rui En and Elvin Ng’s fanclubs, RBKD and Elvinology, are a force to be reckoned with.
The two fanclubs made their presence known with their colourful fan paraphernalia and boisterous cheers for ‘Ruivin’ (a nickname coined to term Rui En’s onscreen coupling with Elvin), which could be heard both inside and outside the TV theatre. These fans’ consistent hard work in the online votes saw the two actors constantly top the online polls for their double nominations during xinmsn’s weekly updates, and their persistence paid off.
Apart from nabbing the Favourite On-Screen Couple award for their Song Yazai and Ou Kelu pairing in Code of Honour, both Rui En and Elvin Ng also walked away with the Favourite Character award in the male and female categories for their work in A Tale of 2 Cities (Zhang Yale) and C.L.I.F. (Teo Kwee Xiang) respectively.
In a backstage interview with xinmsn after the awards ceremony, the duo shared that they were “pleasantly surprised” at how the “alliance” formed between their fanclubs to help rally more votes for their nomination.
“This nickname (Ruivin) came out a long time ago so I’m already used to it. They probably followed in the footsteps of what is done in Hollywood and took a cue from ‘Bradgelina’ (laughs). Of course, we’re not on the same ranks as these stars but I find it really amusing,” said Rui En, who was decked in a white studded Versace dress.
Before the awards were handed out, a short Code of Honour spoof – to speak of Elvin and Rui En’s shaky working relationship – was put up by Dennis Chew and Quan Yifong during the award ceremony. The duo broke into laughter at the thought of it and Rui En reaffirmed their good working relationship with one another when she praised Elvin for understanding her working habits.
The 31-year-old said, “I’m a person of little words at work. What I admire about Elvin is that he respects my needs to have personal space at work.”
Commenting on the second spoof which was much-talked about and mimicked the infamous rape scene between her and Zhang Yaodong’s character in On The Fringe, the actress was cool about it and said that it was a form of “entertainment” with “entertainment value”.
Elvin, who is also the Systema Charming Smile award winner for the second year running, clarified that “most people mistake silence for enmity,” as Rui En chimed in agreement, “It’s because we get along well with and share good chemistry [which is why no words are needed].
To celebrate their wins, Elvin shared that Elvinology has already planned a surprise for him; Rui En intends to handover her Favourite Female Character trophy to RBKD to thank them for their endless support “because it belongs to them.”
RBKD shared a picture of the two trophies that Rui En gave. The blue trophy is from last year’s Favourite Female Character win while the purple trophy is from this year’s win.
