Under the shimmering lights of a getai stage, Taiwan actress Cynthia Wang and Singapore star Rui En showed off their polished Bollywood-inspired dance moves, during a recent filming session for a scene in Channel 8’s mid-year blockbuster “Joys Of Life”.
The pair moved like professionals, but Wang revealed that they actually had very little time to prepare for their scenes before they had to bust a move on set.
“We just practised the dance steps awhile ago and had to dance on stage immediately!
“It was very rushed but I think we had great chemistry,” said an enthusiastic Wang, who plays Han Rourou, the beauty of Huaxiang Street in the show.
Starring opposite Han Rourou in this duet is Han Yongyong (played by Rui En), the adopted daughter of the Han family, who cross-dressed as an Indian man for this getai act.
“My big sister (Rui En) cross-dressing as a man is what makes this song (“Butterflies’ love for flowers”) so cool,” Wang said with a laugh.
Wang and Rui En not only acted like sisters when the camera rolled, but also behaved like sisters off the camera.
They laughed at each others’ mistakes while practicing their dance moves, shared jokes among themselves and chatted while waiting to shoot their scenes.
“She (Rui En) is like my big sister,” confessed Wang.
“Although we are really acting as sisters [in “Joys Of Life”], I feel like we are really sisters because in most of scenes with Rui En, I’m often seen crying in the arms of my big sister,” explained Wang, going on to talk about the trials and tribulations her character Han Rourou faces and how her big sister (Han Yongyong) is always the one beside her.
“Most of my scenes are very pitiful but we (Rui En and Wang) have a lot of fun together,” said the actress.
