We check out the biggest names in showbiz who have lit up a screen together

Two is better than one, especially if “one” already stands pretty strong on its own. We’re talking about dream team silver/small screen pairings of the hottest A-listers in showbiz, from MediaCorp Princesses Jeanette Aw and Rui En in The Dream Makers, to martial arts movie royalty Jackie Chan and Jet Li in The Forbidden Kingdom.

Rui En & Jeanette Aw (The Dream Makers)

They’ve both been in the business for over a decade (and are both under Artiste Networks ) , but The Dream Makers is the first time they’ve ever worked together. “It was really cool,” Rui En told us of the collaboration. “We work very well together!”

Jeanette concurs. “We both know what we want from a scene, and both know what we’re doing with our characters. I don’t have to worry that she won’t be able to react with me,” she said at the drama’s press conference last Tuesday.

Besides that, they’ve become more familiar with each other, something they never really got to do before. “We’ve had to spend a lot of time together, and now we’re more of friends,” said Rui En.

So shall we look forward to more collaborations in the future then? “I’m open to any opportunities to work with Rui En again,” said Jeanette.

Chemistry level: We guess we’ll find out when The Dream Makers premieres on June 24 at 9pm on Ch8, but we are definitely harbouring high hopes for this pairing!

Rui En & Chen Liping (Unriddle)

Rui En and Liping have become close pals and one of the most beloved duos in local showbiz since Unriddle. Liping was credited as the one who could melt the stoic Ice Queen’s heart, as displayed by the latter’s cheeriness during their first interview with us as co-stars – a contrast from her usual more reserved demeanour.

“She’s the most generous artiste I’ve ever worked with,” Rui En praised. “She has a really infectious laugh too, which in turn makes me laugh as well!”

During the Dream Makers press conference, the typically calm and collected Rui En was even seen giggling and lightly hitting Liping’s arm on stage, proving that their camaraderie was more than just a phase.

Chemistry level: Four dramas on, and their friendship and on-screen harmony is stronger than ever.

The Dream Makers 志在四方 debuts 24 June 2013 9pm on Channel 8.
