《爱情风险》昨晚首播，开出84万6000收视，成绩不俗，不过却不及《志在四方》首播的89万。戚玉武和白薇秀这对银色情侣，先后在《志》和《爱》中担演男女主角，不过从受欢迎度和收视成绩看来，似乎是戚玉武拔了头筹，而他与欧萱和瑞恩擦出的三角恋火花，较引起瞩目与话题。

白薇秀和郑斌辉尽管不是首次搭档演情侣，默契也不错，但因戚玉武和2花旦在《志》的爱情线太抢镜，因此相比之下《爱》的郑斌辉和白薇秀就被比了下去。

另外，《志》首播开出红盘主要也因揭露电视台运作的题材在本地属较新鲜，加上大咖云集，成功引起观众好奇和偷窥心理追看与讨论，相比之下《爱》又回到一贯的“爱情”题材，要hold住观众眼球，有一定挑战。

《志在四方》收视率未能破百万，平均收视率输《警徽天职2》。

新传媒重头剧《志在四方》自开播以来引起热烈讨论，更搞了3个结局任观众投选的噱头，可惜上周五的大结局，收视率仅88万人，不仅未破90万，全剧平均收视率也只得85万4000人，不敌87万人的《警徽天职2》，排名第二。

《志在四方》曾创下98万2000人的高收视率，也屡破90万，大结局却不达90万人，令人意外。

不过，新传媒透露，《志》在网上收看的点击率是至今所有剧集之冠。

1. 封面故事 Cover Story Pages 44-46

后话：男主角的抉择

入戏太深的，原来不是演员，有时是观众。

戏里眼神小动作无添加纯天然sweet，原来真是骗倒大家的风场作戏。

戏外…最佳情侣档原来没有想象中火花四射，似近还远，有点反高潮。

安全距离是要保持，尤其感情世界各自精彩，他宣布情牵白小姐，她有神秘老外爱人。谈情说爱这档事，还是留在小黑箱就好。

《志在四方》结局网上投选大战，欧萱瑞恩两派粉丝激战一番。

最初的恋人VS最懂你的知己，胜负难分。

故事自有定居，但男主角心中…选谁？

阿武开始打太极：“我不会选择，因为我的选择是别人的选择，哈哈哈。”

总有一个自己心中的选择？“我自己的抉择是‘志在四方’。”

难道想自己一个人走天涯？“到最后每个人都要志在四方，什么东西不重要，最重要志在四方，呵呵呵。”

不是打戏打到出面语无伦次，太极高手上身的阿武不愿讲明，可以理解。两派粉丝激战，难道想当炮灰？且戏外早已觅得情人知己白小姐…

“戏里欧萱是初恋，永远难以忘怀。瑞恩是知己，方方面面都很了解我的人。两个抉择，我也不知道怎么选。如果发生在我身上？我自己没有发生过同时遇到两个这样的人，但知己难求吧。虽然初恋永远甜蜜，但知己难得，而且她了解之后没有嫌弃你，还继续支持你…”

最爱！荧幕有情档

化学作用这回事，没有什么道理。

就是看得格外顺眼舒服让人入戏太深，甚至发梦希望他们假戏真做生活中也能大团圆。

无论如何，就是想看他们，在一起。

文：杨丽玲、王莉雁

黄俊雄＋瑞恩

世间很多事情，解释不了。

就当是观众的一厢情愿，但谁和谁迸发出最强火花，电视上一目了然，抗拒也无从。

从《爱情零度C》开始，这两人就是荧幕上命定的一对。冷漠与热情之间，极端反差产生微妙的化学效应，不费吹灰之力，已很有feel。

连两派粉丝也破天荒组成联盟，算了吧，还是爱下去啦。

Oh no!麦搁作阵啦

有些人，在一起，却像不相干的路人甲和乙。

李南星＋瑞恩

永远的阿哥和人气阿姐，肩并肩，看上去，很pro。

似同事多过朋友or情人，相敬如宾，永远像隔了一条新加坡河，谈情说爱比较像办公事，情绪比加冷河还平静……

1. Boos & Bravos Page 114

Bravo to Rui En on the just-ended The Dream Makers for taking a dig at herself. In a wink-wink art-imitates-life moment, her character, a variety show producer-turned-actress, is up in arms when she gets wind that she may appear in a rape scene. “No way will I shoot [that],” she protests. “They can call me unprofessional but I have my principles.” Fans will know that this is a not-too-subtle reference to Rui En’s real-life stance against filming rape scenes.

2. Cover Story Page 34

Despite her newfound chirpness, there’s no image overhaul. Chloe is still very much the feline beauty with enormous doe eyes, elfin nose and pouty lips. As we talk, she spies a copy of 8 DAYS with Rui En, her Joys of Life co-star, on the cover. She cries, “That’s Rui En!” then grabs the mag for a fervent flip-through.

在昨晚播出的《志在四方》大结局里，戚玉武饰演的Jason最后选择了瑞恩所饰演的方彤琳，结局不出众人意料。根据新传媒公布的数据，瑞恩获得了63%的票数，选择Jason和欧萱饰演的赵非儿在一起的票数只占37%。

《志》监制王尤红受访时说，这样的大结局合情合理，在她预料之中：“赵非儿在第17集已经和Jason分手。在方彤琳不断鼓励下，Jason成功放下了前段感情，重心振作并决定和彤琳在一起。我觉得，他当时已经把赵非儿当成是好友，不可能反反复复又跑去和赵非儿重圆，因此这样的大结局合情合理。此外从过去几天的投选情况来看，瑞恩获得了许多死硬粉丝的支持，得票一直都比欧萱高。其实，不管Jason最后选择谁，我们所摄制的结局都是很正面和积极。”

播出后获得好口碑

戚玉武、欧萱和瑞恩之间的三角恋是《志》故事主轴，非常吸睛。新传媒于是决定从7月26日晚上10时开始举投选活动，让观众选择Jason应该跟那位女主角在一起。投选活动在昨天中午12时截止。

王尤红说，这是本地电视剧首次《10点新闻》之前，一次过呈现出观众喜欢的大结局：“《96℃咖啡》之前虽然尝试过，不过他们在《10点新闻》后才播出观众投选的大结局。《志》的演员表现和制作水准都很出色，我很开心该剧播出后获得了很多好口碑，引起了观众热烈讨论，这是很好的现象。让观众投选大结局说明我们正视他们的意见，努力提升节目素质，把戏剧做好。”

王尤红表示，新传媒尊重多数观众的选择，因此销售至海外的版本的大结局也将是Jason选择方彤琳。至于以后的新传媒电视剧会不会继续让观众投选决定结局，王尤红表示，暂时没有任何计划，电视台会根据不同剧种做出不同尝试。

A guilty pleasure and a dream to watch, here’s what we think of Ch8’s The Dream Makers

By Joanna Goh

The last time a Ch8 drama created this much hype, it was the year of The Little Nyonya in 2008, where Peranakans (specifically, Yue Niang) ruled our lives. Fast forward 4.5 years later and we finally see an inkling of what we’d call the revival of local TV’s former glory days in Ch8’s The Dream Makers, a 30-episode series which concluded its run last night.

For the past few years, no other show has achieved what ‘Dream Makers’ managed to do in six weeks: generate an insane amount of frenzy online and off. It became the hottest lunch and gossip topic as people 1) compared fact or fiction notes based on real-life showbiz events (like we did here) and 2) shelved dinner plans and after-work activities to race home and catch the broadcast of the weeknight drama at 9pm – us included. True story.

So what was it about The Dream Makers that worked for viewers? Was it the show’s format? The uncanny pairing of the TV station’s top-tier actresses and actors and the long-awaited reunion of the ill-fated ‘Nyonya’ lovers Jeanette Aw and Qi Yuwu (who’ve yet to, well, get a happy ending of their own…)? Or was it due to the sense of familiarity viewers had for the local entertainment scene they once grew up with?

Hit: Tight chemistry between the cast

The next best thing about having a bunch of veterans cast in this show (apart from their strong acting) is the solid chemistry that comes through their performances as a result of their familiarity with one another. There was no need to wait for them to “grow into” their roles and nurture their chemistry – thank goodness. Here are our favourite pairings from the show: Zoe Tay and Chen Liping’s friendship (more on that on slide 5), Chen Hanwei and Zoe’s soulmate-like relationship, Jeanette and Yuwu’s instant and natural chemistry, and Dennis Chew and Rui En’s buddy-like siblinghood.

Hit: Pot shots at realistic events

Instead of basing certain story plots on lofty ideas and far-fetched circumstances, what was done right in this show was the boost of realism it had with drama events mirroring real-life happenings. And as viewers we do appreciate the “art-imitates real-life” and subtle tongue-in-cheek references found in its scenes and dialogues. We said it before in our previous story and we’ll say it here again – this is our kind of guilty pleasure.

Hit: An insider peek at the TV industry

Half-truth and half fictional, The Dream Makers successfully incites interest with its gossip reveals and behind-the-scenes take on show business in Singapore. Viewers are left guessing the authenticity of what they see on TV: are there really catfights between fame-hungry actresses, do directors really bully newbies and calefares – so on and so forth. Plus, for the ones not in the TV industry, it provided them with an inside-out microscopic look at how folks at the TV station go about their daily jobs – from the management-level and business side of things to the production end, the show nails it perfectly, especially the APs (assistant producer), writers and camera crew’s behaviour.

Hit: Well-paced storyline

The Dream Makers was a drama with a multi-faceted plot and did not solely revolve around events taking place in the TV station. Apart from its main focus on the office politics and rivalry between the higher-level management staff and actors in showbiz, it also had other story plots which focused on the relationship between siblings, lovers, a married couple and friends. And despite its multiple ongoing story plots, the show gave viewers breathing room by spreading out the development of its characters over a few episodes at one time which explains why they sometimes go missing for an episode or two.

Hit and Miss: A show all about women; but what about the men?

We don’t know if you noticed this – the drama is mainly driven by the stories and lives of these four women in the TV station: Yao-Chu Kang Li, Zhou Wei Yun, Fang Tong Lin and Zhao Fei Er. It is centered on their trials and tribulations; their successes and failures. On the other hand, there is less focus on the men in this show as they are there to serve one and only one purpose: to drive the growth of these four female characters. Whether done intentionally or not, we appreciated and really enjoyed the strong and unwavering focus on the ladies. Can we have a drama series done on the men in the TV station next? We can’t wait to see the hijinks that would unfold from this.

Miss: Unrealistic parts of the show

Despite the truths portrayed in the show, The Dream Makers had its fair share of unrealistic moments too. An artiste manager (Shaun Chen) dating his artiste in the open? Uh, that’s brazen – considering how local celebrities prefer to keep things on the low-key end. And Vincent Ng’s overdramatic trip-roll-and-rumble action stunt to get to his dead wife’s side in the earlier episodes of the show? We’re sorry guys, that felt a little too staged and forced.

Miss: Voting for the final couple… again???

This feels like Star Awards online voting (aka, fan wars) all over again. To the ones who have the power to decide and control the destiny of the show, please do not take the joy out of watching a drama by forcing viewers (or rather, fans) to vote for their preferred ending between Jeanette Aw and Rui En. While it’s commendable that we try to be different, innovative and engaging, reusing the same old method i.e., getting fans to vote for their preferred happy ending, just feels stale and predictable. Can’t we just vote if Jason should stay single or attached and have the producers decide who deserves to be his happy ending? Well, if we had to choose, we’d say Joanne Peh. There, we said it.

彤琳希望Jason暂时放下两人的感情，接受外国的工作，追求自己的梦想，也能考验他们的感情。彤琳表示她会一直等待Jason，但如果Jason想要回去非儿身边，她也会为他们祝福。Jason将作何选择呢？
