NO WAYANG: "My make-up was actually migrating across my face because of all my sweat!" Rui En on the pains of inhabiting a Chinese opera role for The Journey: Our Homeland.
Posted by Channel NewsAsia Singapore on Wednesday, July 15, 2015
RBKD: Rui En spent two days in Penang to shoot the opera scenes for The Journey: Our Homeland. That was the most difficult scene she had done but she felt that this five-minute sequence was an important one as it helped to flesh out her character Yang Mei Xue and perhaps made it easier for the audience to identify with her.
In the final instalment of The Journey trilogy, Mei Xue gets entangled in a love triangle when her boyfriend (played by Zhang Zhen Huan) suddenly returns to Singapore when she thought he had died. Even though Mei Xue found happiness with Zhang Jia (played by Shaun) but had to give up her happiness out of a sense of duty to her boyfriend. “She is representative of what women were like back then. I think that wouldn’t happen today,” said Rui En.
The Journey: Our Homeland is now airing every weekday, 9pm on Channel 8.

RBKD: During an imaging session for The Dream Makers 2 held on 2 June, Rui En tried on a period costume with traditional shoes and find it a challenge as “the costume is that of this gentle, demure princess, whom I have no idea how to behave like!†The shoes gave her a hard time too as she tried to find her balance during the photo shoot.
Fang Tonglin being an actress in the show will also get to try other unusual outfits which includes a “Samurai warrior princess” outfit. “I think the production team just wanted to give a fresh take on how I look, so that’s why they wrote all these (scenes involving various outfits). I am looking forward to wearing the warrior princess outfit in the show. That will be a very funny scene.â€
Rui En is also looking forward to acting alongside Qi Yuwu again as “He is a person I am comfortable just being with, without feeling the need to make small talk.â€
