Some 300 fans got the chance to catch the first episode of upcoming blockbuster drama serial “Joys of Life”, more than a week before it airs, during the special “Joys of Life” Cha-Chum-Bo Party promotional event, on Friday at TAB.
Apart from getting an early peek at the 60s period piece, which commemorates the 30th anniversary of Singapore Mandarin drama, they also had the chance to hear about what happened behind the scenes from cast members Rui En, Alien Huang, Cynthia Wang, Andie Chen, Chen Li Ping and Kate Pang.
The cast recounted the most memorable bits of working together on “Joys of Life”, such as the time Huang broke wind right in the middle of a scene, but managed to act as though nothing happened; or how Chen Li Ping could be joking around on set, but instantly wept when she had to do a tragic scene, then cracked jokes again with her face still wet with tears.
These tales left everyone in stitches – Rui En kept doubling over in laughter as Chen Li Ping worked the crowd and drew waves of laughter from the audience at the cosy venue.
“It was so hard for me to keep from laughing on the set with her (Chen Li Ping)!” said Rui En, in between fits of laughter.
However, the mirth quickly gave way to excitement when it was time for the poster-signing segment of the event, which gave the fans a chance to see their favourite stars up close and go home with a signed “Joys of Life” poster.
To top it all off, they even had the opportunity to get a taste of a refreshing mocktail specially concocted for the event, made from passion fruit juice and ingredients like macadamia nut syrup.
While only 300 lucky fans managed to get tickets to the free event – the tickets were snapped up within minutes of being released – viewers will be able to get to see for themselves what all the buzz is about when the show airs on June 26.
The “Joys of Life” Cha-Chum-Bo Party is the first of many activities that will be held this year as part of the MediaCorp Entertains initiative, which aims to extend the experience for consumers of MediaCorp productions beyond the media platforms.
