林雯莹报道

随着谢宛谕、姚懿珊和刘芷绚的离开，”七公主”几乎瓦解，问欧萱有何感想，她笑说：”我以为七公主早就解散了！”

她表示： “其实，我觉得我们7个人都不是很在乎这个称号，因为这是媒体给我们的，随着时间也会改变，他们今天叫你公主，明天就会叫你别的。我觉得不用太去执着这个称呼。”

同属个经纪公司Artistes Network的瑞恩去年发唱片，欧萱表示，自己是个好奇的人，希望能回到舞台，也希望能有机会演电影，什么都想尝试，但还是要看公司如何安排。

With the original seven princesses now dwindling down to four, we say it’s high time we get started on our prediction on the next crop of seven promising and young actresses worthy of a tiara title.

It was great while it lasted but like fairy tales, all good things must come to an end. With the impending departure of Jesseca Liu from the diminishing amalgamate of ‘Seven Princesses’ – a term first coined by a local magazine a few years ago – and the remaining four (Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh, Felicia Chin and Rui En) primed to be the ‘New Ah Jies’, will this spell the end of a princess-era in Caldecott Hill?

Ok, so the term ‘Seven Princesses’ was created for the sake of media hype or perhaps just a random creative conception by the local magazine, and don’t mean nothing to you, but still, it’s not your run of the mill matter to the devoted fans who will painstakingly fight to defend their ‘princesses’ as seen in forums and blogs.

So here at xinmsn.com, we round up a new batch of seven young and promising starlets who [we think] are poised to succeed the tiaras in the coveted list of Caldecott Hill’s [next] ‘Seven Princesses’. Drumroll, please:

Paige Chua, 28

Touted by some to be the next Rui En, for her cool, independent personality and sometimes aloof approach off-screen, this beauty with brains – Paige’s an NUS graduate who majored in Sociology and Geography – may not be everyone’s cup of tea but she’s definitely here to stay.

Kola Zhou Ying, 24

Today, Zhou Ying has signed on with MediaCorp following the success of her notable performance as Hui Min, one the lead role in Channel 8 drama, “Together”. Highly touted as the next big thing, the cute as a button Shanghainese lass who speaks pitch-perfect Mandarin made her debut in a small role in “Table of Glory” and will join the three reigning Caldecott princesses – Rui En, Fiona Xie and Felicia Chin – to host a new 4-parter travelogue show that’s been scheduled to air in mid 2010.

With Jesseca Liu quitting showbiz, is the whole ‘Seven Princesses’ thing passe?

It is time to “move forward in a new direction”, several of Mediacorp’s ‘Seven Princesses’ told The New Paper.

The original septet will be down to just four actresses with the impending departure of Jesseca Liu.

Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh, Rui En and Felicia Chin remain.

Fiona Xie and Dawn Yeoh left the station last year.

The term Seven Princesses was first coined by a local Chinese entertainment weekly a few years ago. It was picked up by the media and became widely used.

Peh and Aw said the term was just a convenient and flattering way to classify seven actresses and to save people the hassle of saying all seven names.

But they added the label does not come with special treatment when it comes to roles.

Mr Paul Chan, vice-president of branding & promotion for Channel 8, feels “the existing four are the strongest of the seven and they are already at a level befitting the title of ‘New Ah Jies’.”

However, a veteran journalist (Ang Ming Hwa) in the entertainment beat believes the dispersing of the Seven Princesses merely reflects “the sad state of the local TV industry”.

Joanna Goh, Thu, 01 Apr 2010

And then there were four. Now that Jesseca Liu has announced her departure from MediaCorp, the original Seven Princesses of MediaCorp have dwindled down to a quartet. The burning question is: will the disintegration continue?

Remember the hubbub created in 2006 when a local magazine crowned a septet of then up-and-coming nubile actresses in vein of the Magnificent Seven — except these Seven Princesses held beguiling smiles and lithe figures, not guns and lassoes. Today, three years later, things aren’t looking so magnificent anymore. Most recently, a third Princess is continuing the trend of saying adios to the guild. So before and if it becomes an exodus, we’re taking a look back at these still-young lasses whose association with this celebrity sorority has been an integral part of their identity. Otherwise, what’s the point of this tribute piece?

Those who still remain

5) Rui En
The rebel princess who took the path less traveled. She was first talent-spotted in the SingTel hi!Card advertisement in 2001 (remember her mad dash in the red-tanktop and jeans), and made her showbiz debut as a singer. However, fame only came a-knocking on her door after she delved into the world of local TV. In her salad days, Rui En was packaged with a girl-next-door image in drama like You Are The One and Love at 0°C. But she decided that enough was enough, stepped out of the stereotype, and became the cool cat of the litter. Now fans are bowled over by her aloof demeanour and private nature. Even when she turns down roles that demand intimate scenes or “skinship”, she has no lack of projects. She’s in a tricky situation. Should she decide to compromise on your artistic principles, you could be at risk of being labeled as sell-out. But rejecting plum roles that just so happen to come with requisite intimacy could also mean missing out on groundbreaking opportunities.

Is she next to go?: 60%. We’re not quite sure what she wants since she seems to be on crossroads of the meandering path to stardom but yet resisting the commercialism of it. Getting jaded with the industry’s fallacies ain’t the peachiest sign ever. If staying eclectic is your way of pushing boundaries, we say stick to your guns. It’s worked well for her so far.

The current batch of artistes who have entered the Top 20 ranks of the Star Awards Most Popular Male and Female Artistes has revealed shocking and even head-scratching results. Stay tuned.

It’s a little less shocking on the female front. Last year’s Top 10 including Vivian Lai, Yvonne Lim and Xiang Yun have reappeared on the listing. The same goes for regular fixtures i.e. the (remaining) Princesses Felicia Chin, Jeanette Aw, Rui En, Joanne Peh, are all present. News of her quitting MediaCorp hasn’t dampened another Princess, Jesseca Liu’s popularity, who’s still in the running.

红星大奖40大最受欢迎男女一人入围名单昨天公布，女艺人方面公主“七缺二”.

公主谢宛谕因改签部头约, 20大女艺人她不合格, 榜上无名。令人意外的是, 姚懿珊也滑落20大, 七公主中, 仅陈靓瑄、欧萱、刘芷绚、白微秀和瑞恩保留住20大的名额。

入围艺人谈感受…

陈泓宇: 顺其自然

08年尾到今年4月都一直在拍摄长寿剧《想握你的手》的他, 间中只拍了《过好年》和电视电影, 所以对于接下来和郑惠玉及瑞恩合作的《最火搭档》里, 一个“让人可怜的坏人”角色抱期待。

绝境突破！

“如果自己没准备好，给你演一部商业巨片，自己又演不好，全世界都看到你的失败，不是更糟吗？”

“我向来不会看重成绩，比较着重过程。去年我回到基本而拍《过好年》让我找到很大的满足感，终于明白自己为何要当演员，以前自己会比较迷失，现在每天都期待开工。不过我不喜欢’突破’这个字眼。突破和做得好是两回事。”
