During C.L.I.F 2’s filming process, we had our casts gathered for a publicity poster photo shoot in the studio at Thomson Road…

Definitely, it wasn’t an easy task to bring the entire cast together! Despite the busy schedule, we managed to do the photo shoot on the Hari Raya Puasa. How discouraging it was to work on a public holiday. T T

C.L.I.F 2 is a drama based on real life criminal cases. Throughout the entire filming process, we work closely with the Singapore Police Force to portray realistic scenes for every single case.

The keyword is ‘realistic’! Therefore these are not casual pistol props !

These are definitely genuine pistols and we have policemen at the location with us to make sure everything is safe and sound.

Let’s take a look at the shooting process!

It’s make up and changing time! The actors are getting red eyes from the sleepless nights and hasty schedule.

The artistes and photographer will have to discuss on the poster concept and shooting… Coming up with best proposal!

Andie Chen, making a comeback with C.L.I.F 2 will play the role of Rui En’s henchman, named Zhao Guo Huang. Treating Zhi Jie as an eyesore in the beginning, he came to admire her attitude.

Finally, the main cast!

Here Rui En goes discussing her photo shoot theme with the crew…

The slightest facial expression shows the best…

But…wearing slippers? Make a quick guess … Ah Ha! That’s because her lower body was not needed for the shoot!

Not bad! Not Bad! I look good !

Rui En playing the newly added role, Huang Zhi Jie, a remarkable senior investigator who has solved many cases. On the other hand, she will also be involving herself in a complicated love line with Li Nan Xing and Pierre Png.

In the mean while, Li Nan Xing will play Head of Forensic Management Division, Wei Lan Tian, who eventually developed a relationship with Rui En.

Having much drama characters and photos revealed, aren’t you excited for the poster to be release? Do catch what’s the next move of C.L.I.F 2!

常被拿来做比较，新传媒两位公主瑞恩、欧萱首度合作重头剧《志在四方》，戏里戏外均较劲。

以电视圈为题材的新传媒8频道重头剧《志在四方》昨早举行开镜礼，主要演员郑惠玉、陈莉萍、陈汉玮、瑞恩、欧萱均有出席，其他包括许久未出演戏剧的沈金兴、姚懿珊、乐瑶等。

瑞恩与欧萱并列“ 公主行列”，备受力捧的她们，常被拿来比角色、比收视、比奖项、比粉丝，而《志在四方》又是两人出道以来，首次合作的戏剧，在《志》中由“朋友变敌人”，更有“二女枪一男”的戏码，就连她们昨分别受访时，也坦言料到会被比较。

问两人私底下的关系，欧萱说：“我们是同一家公司（指经纪公司）的艺人，之间存在非常良性的竞争。”

瑞恩则说：“我们虽然是同公司的，但相处机会不多，不过我们对彼此感到舒服。”

陈莉萍与瑞恩的好交情不是秘密，多年前也在《荷兰村》演过欧萱的“大姐”，要陈莉萍在两公主中选一个，她说：“当然是最火搭档啦!”

相较于瑞恩，郑惠玉坦言与欧萱比较熟，大儿子满月时，欧萱也前来参加满月庆祝会。

新传媒重头剧《志在四方》昨早举行开镜礼。这是新传媒为了配合电视50周年而制作的戏剧，讲述电视台高层及艺人之间错综复杂的故事。陈莉萍在戏里面掌管电视台的戏剧频道，阿姐郑惠玉则掌管综艺频道，两人经常互相争演员和主持人，有多场龙争虎斗。这也是欧萱首次和瑞恩合作，两女都因为喜欢戚玉武而陷入一段痛苦的三角恋。

欧萱在剧里饰演为事业努力奋斗的二线演员。从二、三线演员爬到今天电视台花旦的她觉得这个角色可以“代表很多艺人的心声，是许多演员的经历”。此外这也是欧萱首次和瑞恩合作，两女都因喜欢戚玉武而陷入一段痛苦的三角恋。

不当“七公主”，瑞恩活得很开心

在《志》剧里，瑞恩饰演综艺组导演，因为机缘巧合转型成为一名艺人，和欧萱在电视台相互竞争。现实生活中，她是否视欧萱为假想敌呢？她潇洒地回答：“我从来没有想那么多。自从我不是‘七公主’后，我活得很开心，有自由能做我想要做的事。我想观众会期待我和欧萱合作，我自己也觉得相当舒服。”

瑞恩说，家里的床是她的情人，她打算在农历新年的假期里好好睡觉：“我没有很多拜年活动也不大庆祝节日。比方情人节，我就认为它是一个无聊和欺骗大家消费的节日。”

《志在四方》监制是王尤红，故事人洪夕，其他演员包括潘淑钦、刘谦益、林慧玲、陈浻江、胡佳琪等。该剧预定6月24日开始，每逢星期一至五，晚上9时通过8频道播出。

Rui En plays a bubbly, talkative variety show director in ‘The Dream Makers’.

She is known for being a woman of few words.

But for the next few months, Singapore actress Rui En will transform herself into a bit of a chatterbox, to play the bubbly director Fang Tong Lin in the upcoming drama “The Dream Makers”, which is set in a fictional television station.

“I play a variety [show] director who … eventually becomes discovered, then becomes an artiste, becomes a host and becomes an actress.

“She is very chatty and talkative! As long as she is like in a normal mood – she doesn’t even need to be in a good mood – she is like talking all the time.”

“Basically, my character is the sort of girl that can be friends with anybody that she meets within five seconds. Not guarded at all. The exact opposite of who I am,” Rui En said with a laugh.

“She is really just like any other girl on the street. Just quirkier.”

The hard part, said the actress, is bringing out Fang’s ‘girl on the street’ quality, and making the talkative director “relatable”.

“It’s a lot harder than most people think.

“When you get the camera in front of you, you clam up, and you get conscious [of the camera],” said Rui En.

“My goal in this show is try to remove all of that, as much as I can, to be as natural as possible.”

Rui En shows off her ’employee pass’.

Speaking at the commencement ceremony for the drama, Rui En went on to reveal that she is looking forward to playing such a “colourful” character and has been preparing for her role by observing the crew in action.

She even went shopping for an assortment of accessories, from colourful bracelets to small stuffed toys, that would help make her look more convincing as the warm, affable Fang.

“The personal touches are important,” said Rui En happily, looking every bit like one of the drama’s production staff members, who were present at the ceremony.

Personal touches: Rui En and the accessories she bought especially for her role in “The Dream Makers”.

“The Dream Makers” also stars Zoe Tay, Chen Hanwei, Chen Liping, Qi Yuwu as well as Jeanette Aw, and marks the first time both Aw and Rui En are appearing together in a local drama.

The 30-parter, which commemorates MediaCorp’s 50th anniversary, will air in June.

由香港资深艺人夏雨以及陈莉萍、黄文永、黄俊雄和陈欣淇等主演的贺岁剧《好运到》，前天开播收视拿下93万6000的不俗成绩，单从数字来看，是否再度证明观众始终爱看反映民生的家庭剧？

比较“破格”的剧集如《微笑正义》（80万6000）、《孤男寡女》（83万3000）、《再见单人床》（80万1000）和《最火搭档2》（81万6000）都收视“麻麻”，《糊里糊涂爱上你》更仅得75万1000新低。

看来要打破观众对本地剧的收看习惯和口味，确实有一定难度。

2012年9点档收视成绩
1《我们等你》91万9000
2《花样人间》87万5000
3《995》86万6000
4《双星报喜》85万8000
5《千方百计》85万1000
（《对对碰》估计应在三甲排名中）

Top local actresses such as Zoe Tay, Chen Liping, Jeanette Aw and Rui En are raring to cross swords in Ch8’s upcoming drama The Dream Makers

Local actresses Rui En and Jeanette Aw will finally have the chance to collaborate on a same drama in Ch8’s upcoming production The Dream Makers. Though the two highly rated artistes are both managed by HYPE Records, this is the first time they will act alongside each other.

While speaking to xinmsn at the drama’s imaging session, Rui En shared her excitement about the opportunity and beamed, “I’ve been waiting so long to work with Jeanette!”

The Dream Makers stages itself as a spiced-up version of the local showbiz, with the story revolving around the people working in a television station. Rui En takes on the role of a producer in the Variety Unit, while Jeanette plays a hardworking second-tier artiste who is waiting for her big break.

Rui En said that she was relieved to be able to wear “comfortable clothes” for her character this time round, after having to don restrictive “officer’s clothes” for her previous roles in Unriddle and C.LI.F. 2.

She described her character Fang Tong Lin as a “quirky and imaginative girl who will inspire several comedic scenes”, which is a refreshing change from her recent “serious roles”.

To portray a natural image of a director, the actress has been observing her colleagues at work, even taking notes of details such as their clothing styles, behaviour, and habits.

“I put a little of myself into each of the character that I play,” said Rui En, who is satisfied with the space to develop her role in the new drama.

The star-studded cast of The Dream Makers also features Zoe Tay, who stars as Zhou Wei Yun, the Executive Director of the Variety Unit in the TV station. The Queen of Caldecott Hill shares a superior-subordinate relationship with Rui En in the drama, making it the third collaboration between the two actresses.

Impressed by the strong line-up, Zoe is eager to pit her acting skills with the other actors, especially from the younger stars, whom she has watched mature. “It will be interesting to see how they have grown from their experiences and how the chemistry between us will evolve,” she added.

And while The Dream Makers illustrates the complications within the show business on the small screen, both Zoe and Rui En have emphasized that Singapore’s entertainment industry is “not as exciting”.

Huang Zhi Jie (portrayed by Rui En)
Female, 30 years old
Occupation: Specialised Crimes Branch – Senior Investigation Officer

Huang Zhi Jie went through a troubling childhood when she saw her elder sister get kidnapped and eventually murdered after being sexually assaulted. The culprits got away scot-free due to insufficient evidence, which scarred the then-seven-year-old her.

Wanting to join the police force, Zhi Jie enters the police academy after graduating from university and does well in the force, quickly becoming a Senior Investigation Officer. What spurs her on is her calling to uphold justice.

Due to her experience when she was a child, Zhi Jie once lost faith in humanity. Choosing to study psychology in university, she wanted to understand human behaviour. This later pays off as she can emphatise with victims and communicate with them on a deeper level.

Zhi Jie is close friends with police academy buddy Wei Lan Tian, whom she always teases about his lack of girlfriends after his divorce. The two develop a deeper relationship subconsciously.

She later meets a stumbling block when investigating a sexual assault and murder case, and has to learn to let go of things she cannot control. She leads Lan Tian and herself into trouble when she enters a battle of wits with the suspect.
