Picture this: In one corner of the studio, Rui En preens and poses for the cameras as the crew make mental notes of her characters’ 101 outfit coordination to prevent slip-ups at filming. At the other end of the tiny room, Zoe Tay perches herself on the sofa, taking tiny sips from a flask of hot water to battle the strong blast of cold wind from the air-conditioning unit above. In the midst of the fuss and mess, a bespectacled and preppy-looking Chen Hanwei steps in the studio in a hot fiery red suit…
The photography studio teems with excitement and chatter at the imaging session for the newest Ch8 drama production on the hill, The Dream Makers, and the vibe is infectious and understandable. After all, how often does one get to catch or work on a drama headlined by a mix of the station’s top veterans and actresses?
Playing a celebrity host with a caustic sense of humour, Hanwei made clear that his Dream Maker role is unlike his previous ‘aunty or uncle-type of characters’ in his interview with xinmsn outside the studio.
The Dream Makers debuts June 24, on Ch8 at 9pm.
