瑞恩（右）很享受和阿武的合作。

瑞恩在《志在四方》里颠覆酷酷的专业形象，演活大剌剌的“大头虾”主持人方彤琳。剧集播出后好评如潮，戏中演员们的默契也让观众眼前一亮。

瑞恩受访时开心地表示：“我听到很多好的评语，甚至有人跟我说他们每天都赶回家追看，我很开心能有这个机会参与这部剧，带给一些人笑声和娱乐。”

瑞恩在《志在四方》中和三男大斗演技，在戏中分别和戚玉武（饰演“节省男”）、陈泓宇（饰演“杜展鹏”）以及“哥哥”周崇庆（饰演方元仁）有精彩的对手戏。

瑞恩透露监制和导演给予演员完全的发挥空间，是角色成功的因素之一，“我和阿武的对手戏都是自由发挥，所以我们都不知道会拍出什么，每天都有惊喜。我很喜欢这样的方式，也很享受这次和阿武的合作。”

陈泓宇在戏中对“方彤琳”一片深情，瑞恩透露不少观众都反映说喜欢两人的戏份，而她自己也觉得这次和陈泓宇默契很不错。

但是说到最满意，她还是首推和周崇庆之间斗嘴的兄妹情，“因为我自己看的时候都会笑！”

她坦言这是她演得最“放”的一次，“我听到很多不同的feedback，有些人喜欢，但也有人不习惯我这样的演法。但是编剧把角色写得那么放，我演得不够放的话，我觉得我会后悔。”

Drama vs Reality: How many of these (real-life) showbiz happenings in Singapore are you familiar with?

The Dream Makers is what we’d call the greatest form of flattery seen on local television as art imitates life in this Ch8 drama series. Several stories and scenarios featured in the show hit close to home with its spoof on personalities in the TV station and its reenactment of real-life celebrity gossips.

From Felicia Chin’s rumoured double-eyelid surgery to the highly-debated rivalry between the TV station’s top two Ah Jies Zoe Tay and Fann Wong: what you see happening in local showbiz is what you get on The Dream Makers – true story (minus the over-the-top bitchy catfights and what have you, of course).

If you, like us, are in the know of these buzzy headlines, chances are you’re relishing in the show two times as much as the uninformed average viewer. For those who aren’t familiar with these events featured in the show, we’ll do you a service and recap their source of inspiration. You’re welcome.

Fact #1
The plastic surgery denial: A throwback to Felicia Chin’s plastic surgery saga in 2009

Drama: A pretty well-known actress, who is supposedly an Ah Jie in-the-making, was quizzed by celebrity talk show host Yu Fan (Chen Han Wei) on the noticeable change in her facial features i.e., her once-mono-but-now-double eyelids. She played dumb and avoided answering his question and was eventually let off the hook.

Reality: At the peak of her acting career in 2009, Felicia Chin was once speculated to have undergone a boob and double-eyelid job. The actress was grilled about her rumoured enhancements on a (real) celebrity talk show called Celebritea Break, hosted by Guo Liang and Quan Yi Fong. She eventually cited the long-term use of the double-eyelid tape as the reason behind her current creased lids, and the case was eventually closed.

Fact #2
The friendship remark: A throwback to Zoe Tay and Fann Wong’s speculated rivalry

Drama: In her guest-starring appearance on a celebrity talk show, an actress, who is the station’s second Ah Jie (Silver Ang), referred to her non-existent friendship with the station’s top-billed actress (Dawn Yeoh) as one that’s based on a professional working relationship. In short: We’re merely colleagues, not friends.

Reality: 17 years ago, Fann referred to her relationship with Zoe as one of colleagues and not friends. Her remark – whether a Freudian slip or not – sparked a huge hullabaloo and many attributed two actresses’ endeavours to be the #1 Ah Jie in the TV station as the reason behind their acrimonious relationship.

Fact #3
Actress going bald for a role: A throwback to Cynthia Koh’s Stepping Out role in 1999

Drama: Dawn’s character was presented with a breakthrough opportunity to star in a cop drama series. She eventually turned it down as the show required her character to shave her head in the latter half of the story, much to her disgruntle. The once-in-a-lifetime role eventually went to Jeanette Aw’s character.

Reality: Only one local actress was brave enough to shave her head for a role and that’s Cynthia Koh. The then-newbie actress went skinhead for Stepping Out in 1999, a period series which told of the trial and tribulations faced by Chinese immigrants in Singapore during the 1920s. Her sacrifice did not go unnoticed – she was duly rewarded for her efforts in the following year’s Star Awards with a Best Actress win.

Fact #4
Calefares and not-so-famous actors, please move to the back of the bus

Drama: A C-list actress, Fei Er’s told to find a seat at the back of the bus because the front rows are reserved for actress of Ah-Jie levels only.

Reality: There are two sides of the coin to this: 1) For comfort reasons: we were once told that the front rows are usually occupied for the A-listers 2) For practical reasons: we were also told that cameramen and those handling equipment usually take up the front rows of the bus for easy loading and unloading. This tiny scene does carry a bit of truth in it, but the true extent of it really varies from person to person.

Fact #5
Unless you’re “one of us”, most reporters have limited access to the TV station

Drama: In most episodes, you’d see Dennis Chew’s reporter character, Fang Yuanren, enter the TV station at will and snap photos of its surroundings at ease. He’d even gain firsthand access to scoops overheard and seen from his time spent roaming around the TV station.

Reality: No such luck, security is tight within the TV station’s premises. Truth be told, unless you are an employee of the company, you can’t enter its building, offices and recording studios without a staff pass or a registered guest pass. And yes, we do have photography-restricted areas on the hill. You don’t want to be caught by our burly security guards doing something that’s prohibited.

Fact #6
Actress leaving everything behind to pursue a showbiz career in Hong Kong: A throwback to Ann Kok’s “move” to the island at the peak of her career

Drama: Now that she’s the station’s top-tier actress, Fei Er is offered a lucrative movie deal in Hong Kong, brokered by a director formerly from the TV station. Enticed by the prospect of growing fame in the region, she toys with the idea of “dropping off everything” to pursue what she thinks is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in Hong Kong. (SPOILERS: We’re told Fei Er eventually leaves everything behind – her career, fame and life – and takes off for Hong Kong.)

Reality: Formerly dubbed the third Ah Jie in-line (after Zoe and Fann) back in the late 1990s, Ann Kok left the TV station to pursue acting opportunities in Hong Kong at the height of her fame in 2000. She came back three years later, after scratching the surface with one and only one noteworthy role in Everything Starts from Marriage, co-starring Alex Fong and Kristy Yeung.

Fact #7
Death in the TV station: A throwback to the tribute held in Huang Wenyong’s honour in April this year

Drama: In what is said to be the most somber episode on the series, a memorial service is held in honour of a well-loved artiste from the TV station (we’re not saying who!) who succumbed to a sudden illness.

Reality: In April this year, Singaporeans bade a tearful goodbye to one of the station’s first Ah Ge and revered actor Huang Wenyong, who passed away from lymphoma at the age of 60 years old. Less than a month later, veteran actor Dai Peng succumbed to the same illness and passed away at the age of 75 years old.

《志在四方》以娱乐圈的明争暗斗为题材，吸引观众追看，剧中饰演电视台高层的陈泓宇，现实生活中竟然也上演《志在四方》，被圈中女星插刀、抹黑。

陈泓宇透露，有3个女星一直在他背后狂插刀。 “她们一直在我好朋友面前讲我的坏话，像是故意要好友把话传给我，不知道她们居心何在。”

与瑞恩借位接吻

前播出的《志在四方》，陈泓宇与瑞恩有一场接吻戏。与“惜肉如金”的瑞恩如何完成这场接吻戏？ 陈泓宇透露：“本来导演建议我用拇指贴着她的唇，但我觉得这样很假，所以设计了一个脖子稍微转动，遮住她的脸的动作，比较自然。结果一个Take就顺利完成。”

周崇庆首次和瑞恩合作佷有默契。（图／周崇庆提供）

新传媒年度重头剧《志在四方》除了主要男女主角演出自然出色之外，“周边角色”也大放异彩。其中像周崇庆饰尖酸刻薄的娱乐记者“方元仁”就很出位，他与瑞恩在剧中的兄妹情，互相抬扛场面也让人捧腹，这对另类拍档为《志》增添不少喜感和笑点。

首次和“冰公主”瑞恩合作，周崇庆说他跟对方拍戏3个月下来，发现这个多料视后其实外冷内热，非常幽默，并高呼：“我很爱她！”

他说：“她（瑞恩）真的是个太好玩的人了！她的人很真，在新传媒像她这样的女艺人少之又少。她不会因为在这个圈子而每天表现得很开心的样子，保留真我。而且她很好学、很用功也很尽责。” 周崇庆也笑说，瑞恩其实很幽默，是典型的冷面笑匠，经常语出惊人而且一针见血。

“告诉你，她戏外还有很多很滑稽的表情，大家在荧幕上看到的只是一部分而已。我只能说，和瑞恩这次合作很爽快很痛快！” 他大赞瑞恩是个懂戏之人，两人频率对上默契十足，经常“人来疯”为彼此出其不意的“招式”而NG笑场。 《志》杀青后，他还是经常昵称她“妹”。
