THE hilarious skit at Star Awards Show 1 on Sunday night was meant to be a comic relief for all, but two of the actors being made fun of did not seem impressed.

Last night’s Star Awards Show 1, telecast live over Channel 8, featured a skit spoofing the cast of local dramas Devotion, A Song to Remember and Code of Honour.

Not even the biggest and most popular names on Caldecott Hill were spared.

Zoe Tay, Chen Hanwei, Joanne Peh, Elvin Ng, Qi Yuwu and Eelyn Kok were all made fun of.

But Rui En and Zhang Yaodong did not appear amused.

Rui En looked moody for the rest of the night, despite winning Favourite Female Character and Favourite Onscreen Couple with Ng.

In her acceptance speech, she said cryptically: “We are here to film (dramas), not create news.”

In the skit, TV host Quan Yifeng – in an impressive career comeback since her scuffle with a taxi driver – pretended to be Rui En and objected to filming a rape scene.

It was an obvious throwback to the controversy between Rui En and Zhang Yaodong last August.

Back then, Zhang had talked to the media about a rape scene he did with Rui En in the drama On the Fringe.

Rui En, who was working in Malaysia then, immediately wrote a heated blog post, stressing the fact that she is against doing kissing and rape scenes.

That particular scene was in fact a failed rape attempt, she clarified.

She also hinted that Zhang had twisted the truth to try to make headlines and stay in the limelight.

Zhang subsequently told the media he had used the wrong words, adding that he is not a Chinese teacher who is precise about words.

Last night, when reporters asked Rui En if she was offended, she replied with a curt “No”.

Funny skit?

“The skit provided entertainment value. I was prepared that (the controversy with Zhang) would be mentioned either in Star Awards Show 1 or Show 2,” she said.

When The New Paper spoke to Zhang, he too was curt.

“I don’t think the skit went overboard. It was very funny. I’m okay with it because I don’t think too much into it,” he said.

Ironically, the two of them are filming the period drama Joys of Life and have many scenes together.

How are relations between the two of them now?

Zhang replied in Mandarin: “We are not familiar with each other (before the controversy). Now we are even less familiar. We are still colleagues.”

When asked the same question, Rui En said: “Things are professional (between us). We are just doing our jobs.

“There’s nothing different and it’s just the way I behave with everyone else.

“To me, (the incident) is over. I think I’ll work with him again (in the future), and why make things difficult for everyone?”

娱乐组报道/拍摄/剪辑

《红星大奖2012》第一场颁奖礼今晚举行，瑞恩与黄俊雄如预期各获两奖，但与其他艺人在爆笑短剧中被酸！

新加坡娱乐盛事《红星大奖2012》，今晚（22日）举行第一场颁奖礼《红星大奖2012光辉大赏》，颁发由xinmsn鼎力推动的4个奖项”最喜爱男角色”、”最喜爱女角色”、”最喜爱荧幕情侣”å’Œ”最喜爱综艺主持人”、”Systema灿烂笑容奖”以及技术性专业奖项。

大会去年安排几位综艺主持人呈献短剧，除了一探幕后工作人员的秘辛，还模仿起《破天网》的各种角色，赢得热烈回响，今年再接再厉，大胆开起《阿娣》、《正义武馆》和《星洲之夜》演员的玩笑。

其中，陈汉玮和郑惠玉被酸扮年轻、白薇秀被笑说话慢、郭蕙雯被指睁大眼睛演戏、戚玉武被说表情木讷、瑞恩与黄俊雄被指不和，但最令人吃惊的是，瑞恩与张耀栋去年关于”强奸戏”的风波也被搬上台，引起全场哄堂大笑。

瑞恩：是娱乐效果

对于短剧内容，瑞恩在后台接受访问时，淡淡表示：”是娱乐效果，就这样子。”

一旁的黄俊雄补充，他们身为艺人，有时就是”public property”（公共物品）。

瑞恩与张耀栋在新剧《花样人间》中有不少对手戏，被问到两人的互动如何，瑞恩表示：”很专业，我们只是在工作，没有什么不同的，这只是我和工作上每个人互动的方式。”

她坦言，那场风波已经过去了，她相信两人之后也有机会合作，何必让每个人那么辛苦尴尬，干脆就把它放下。

张耀栋：被令不准上厕所

张耀栋则表示，他事前并不知道有这个短剧，只是被制作单位”下令”在该时段不准上厕所，内容他也没有听得太清楚，只是听到自己的名字被叫。

他透露，拍摄《花样人间》虽然和瑞恩私下完全没有沟通，但合作上OK，监制看了他们的演戏片段，也觉得默契还行。

黄俊雄与瑞恩 越合作越舒服

今晚可以说是黄俊雄与瑞恩的丰收夜，他们除了分别蝉联”最喜爱男角色”å’Œ”最喜爱女角色”奖项，也一同获得”最喜爱荧幕情侣”奖项。

两人经常被配对演戏，双方粉丝看了开心，甚至以”RuiVin”来称呼他们，齐心为偶像投票。

谈到粉丝们的联盟，瑞恩开心表示，因为黄俊雄的支持者很强，让她感到有安全感。

黄俊雄笑说，没想到演艺圈能有这样的联盟。

被问到是否与对方合作到腻了，瑞恩说：”我觉得反而是越合作越舒服，越了解对方的工作方式。”

她坦言，自己拍戏时话比较少，希望有个人空间，她欣赏黄俊雄能尊重她这方面的习惯，感谢他的体谅。

黄俊雄：安静不代表不和

两人曾因为化妆时零互动而被质疑不和，黄俊雄解释，那其实是因为他们很和，他了解她的工作方式，那种安静其实是很舒服的。

黄俊雄也希望大家记得两人在《最火搭档2》的搭配，期待明年再抱回这个奖项。

One thing we learnt from the night’s proceedings at the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 awards ceremony: When brought together, both Rui En and Elvin Ng’s fanclubs, RBKD and Elvinology, are a force to be reckoned with.

The two fanclubs made their presence known with their colourful fan paraphernalia and boisterous cheers for ‘Ruivin’ (a nickname coined to term Rui En’s onscreen coupling with Elvin), which could be heard both inside and outside the TV theatre. These fans’ consistent hard work in the online votes saw the two actors constantly top the online polls for their double nominations during xinmsn’s weekly updates, and their persistence paid off.

Apart from nabbing the Favourite On-Screen Couple award for their Song Yazai and Ou Kelu pairing in Code of Honour, both Rui En and Elvin Ng also walked away with the Favourite Character award in the male and female categories for their work in A Tale of 2 Cities (Zhang Yale) and C.L.I.F. (Teo Kwee Xiang) respectively.

In a backstage interview with xinmsn after the awards ceremony, the duo shared that they were “pleasantly surprised” at how the “alliance” formed between their fanclubs to help rally more votes for their nomination.

“This nickname (Ruivin) came out a long time ago so I’m already used to it. They probably followed in the footsteps of what is done in Hollywood and took a cue from ‘Bradgelina’ (laughs). Of course, we’re not on the same ranks as these stars but I find it really amusing,” said Rui En, who was decked in a white studded Versace dress.

Before the awards were handed out, a short Code of Honour spoof – to speak of Elvin and Rui En’s shaky working relationship – was put up by Dennis Chew and Quan Yifong during the award ceremony. The duo broke into laughter at the thought of it and Rui En reaffirmed their good working relationship with one another when she praised Elvin for understanding her working habits.

The 31-year-old said, “I’m a person of little words at work. What I admire about Elvin is that he respects my needs to have personal space at work.”

Commenting on the second spoof which was much-talked about and mimicked the infamous rape scene between her and Zhang Yaodong’s character in On The Fringe, the actress was cool about it and said that it was a form of “entertainment” with “entertainment value”.

Elvin, who is also the Systema Charming Smile award winner for the second year running, clarified that “most people mistake silence for enmity,” as Rui En chimed in agreement, “It’s because we get along well with and share good chemistry [which is why no words are needed].

To celebrate their wins, Elvin shared that Elvinology has already planned a surprise for him; Rui En intends to handover her Favourite Female Character trophy to RBKD to thank them for their endless support “because it belongs to them.”

RBKD shared a picture of the two trophies that Rui En gave. The blue trophy is from last year’s Favourite Female Character win while the purple trophy is from this year’s win.

黄俊雄（左）和瑞恩的粉丝群强大，努力在网上投票。

瑞恩、黄俊雄粉丝联盟，要破李铭顺与刘子绚的『最喜爱男、女角色』和『最喜爱荧幕情侣』梦！

第一场《红星大奖2012》今晚举行，瑞恩、黄俊雄有望在粉丝的合力“撮合”之下，拿下“最喜爱男、女角色”和“最喜爱荧幕情侣”。反之，李铭顺和刘子绚虽然有大批阿嫂粉丝拥趸，但败在阿嫂粉丝不是网络的积极分子，在这方面的投选活动上，无疑处于劣势。

根据新传媒发布的最后一期网络投选成绩，发现“最喜爱男、女角色”依旧是黄俊雄、李铭顺、瑞恩和刘子绚4人之争。刘子绚在《行医》饰演的“敏妃”尽管在第3期网络投选成绩中，一度超越瑞恩在《乐在双城》中饰演的“章雅乐”，不过仍不敌瑞恩粉丝的猛烈投票攻势，在第4期（也是最后一期）的成绩中败下阵来。

李铭顺刘子绚粉丝较零散

据了解，李铭顺和刘子绚的粉丝比较零散，相较瑞恩和黄俊雄各自拥有强大粉丝群，除了人数众多也非常团结，为偶像尽心尽力，投票支持偶像夺奖更是不遗余力。

因此，预估《红星》首场“最喜爱男、女角色”和“最喜爱荧幕情侣”，在粉丝的强势抢攻下，应该会是“公主”瑞恩与“王子”黄俊雄的囊中物。

瑞恩黄俊雄粉丝联盟

瑞恩和黄俊雄尽管在拍摄《正义武馆》期间，一度传出不和，但，无损2人粉丝团结、对抗阿哥阿姐。为了对抗“外敌”李铭顺和刘子绚，2人的死忠粉丝不惜友善“联盟”，避免分散票数让“渔翁得利”。

在过去1个月的“最喜爱”网络奖项投选活动期间，2阵营粉丝见彼此偶像排名领先，也会在推特（Twitter）上相互道贺鼓励，势力不可挡。

In the first of our three-part Star Award winners’ prediction, we give you an insight on who we think will bring home the trophies at the upcoming Star Awards 2012 Show 1

Text: xinmsn team

After close to seven weeks of fervent voting from fans, we are finally reaching the final leg of the upcoming Star Awards 2012 online polls for categories such as Favourite Female and Male Character, Favourite On-Screen Couple award, Favourite Variety Host, and the Systema Charming Smile award.

Before the winners are unveiled at the Star Awards 2012 Show 1 this Sunday, the golden question remains: will the hot favourite pairing of RuiVin (Rui En and Elvin) from Code of Honour take the top spot or will Christopher Lee and Jesseca Liu’s chemistry in medical drama, The Oath, win them the honours?

Following our last update on the online polls, we saw Rui En shooting back to the top spot after Jesseca broke her leading streak in the Favourite Female Character two weeks ago. Will Jesseca eventually bring home the coveted trophy or will it fall back into the arms of Rui En, who has topped the category for six weeks?

Sticking by traditions, in the first of a three-part series, we take time off to study the odds and make our guesses for the Favourite Male and Female Characters, Favourite On-screen Couple (Drama), and the Favourite Variety Host award.

Who will eventually win the online awards? With one day left before the polls close tomorrow, it’s best to make the most out of your precious vote and make the last one count – you have till 8.30pm tomorrow.

Favourite Female Character
The stars say…
It’s gotta be leading lady Rui En, who has enjoyed an undisputed lead in the online polls for six straight weeks, apart from a slight scare which saw Jesseca overtaking her two weeks ago.

Rui En’s wide-range of acting capabilities can be seen from her choice of drama series in recent years such as her tough cop turn in Unriddle 1 & 2, playing a bereaved widow in With You, and for her nominated role in A Tale of 2 Cities as girly spoilt brat, Zhang Yale.

Apart from having the acting chops and range, Rui En has RBKD (her official fanclub), a large and well-organized fanbase behind her back. Her fans got back to voting religiously and fervently, and successfully reclaimed her top spot last week, after she lost the lead two weeks back. Their dedication speaks volumes, and for us, it simply means an undisputed win for Rui En.

Rui En in A Tale of 2 Cities and Jesseca Liu in The Oath

The dark horse…
Jesseca Liu — need we explain more? The latter has been running neck-to-neck with Rui En for the top spot since voting commenced on Mar 1, which speaks of her wide appeal and fan base. Not only that, she has managed to – surprise, surprise! — usurp the top spot from Rui En two weeks ago in our last online polls update.

She may no longer be a contracted artiste with MediaCorp but this lithe actress’ market demand and popularity remains. After playing a highly principled western doctor Yang Minfei in The Oath last year, she will be starring opposite Taiwanese heartthrob Kingone Wang in the upcoming Ch8 drama series, Yours Fatefully.

Favourite On-Screen Couple

The stars say…
We’re all for Code of Honour’s Song Yazai (Elvin) and Ou Kelu (Rui En). The pair won honours in this category back in 2010 for their collaboration in The Dream Catchers. The duo’s much-talked-about chemistry has won them fans and a term was even coined to describe their coupling – RuiVin.

The undisputed leaders who have consistently remained in the first spot for the Favourite On-Screen Couple award after seven weeks of voting are the strongest contenders in the category. Their solid lead is further reaffirmed with the help of Unriddle 2, which features RuiVin and coincidentally coincided with the voting period, giving viewers a peek at their chemistry when sparks flew between their onscreen characters.

The dark horse…
Going by the polls, the second hot favourite pair of Jesseca and Chris is set to be the next-strongest competitor against RuiVin.

We wonder why Jesseca and Chris have yet to be christened with a nickname of their own such as ChrisSeca or JessTopher. The duo’s on-screen compatibility can be seen from their first collaboration in ChU’s Secrets For Sale and they were brought back together again in last year’s The Oath, delighting viewers and fans.

Playing a western doctor and a Chinese physician at odds with one another in The Oath, Jesseca and Chris’ onscreen bantering and compatibility has won over a league of loyal fans, opening a slim possibility for this coupling to topple RuiVin’s reign in the polls for Favourite On-Screen Couple.

娱乐组报道

《红星大奖2012》迈入高潮，第一场颁奖礼明晚举行，xinmsn预测瑞恩和黄俊雄将称霸网上投选！

ç”±xinmsn鼎力推动的网上投选活动，从3月起接受网友们的投票，选出心目中”最喜爱男角色”、”最喜爱女角色”、”最喜爱荧幕情侣”å’Œ”最喜爱综艺主持人”。

投选明晚截止，成绩将于颁奖礼上公布，xinmsn娱乐组依据前几期的成绩，做出以下分析预测。

最喜爱女角色
入围者：《乐在双城》章雅乐（瑞恩饰）、《行医》杨敏妃（刘子绚饰）、《甘榜情》冯月满（郭舒贤饰）、《阿娣》林珊珊（王心如饰）、《边缘父子》阿雅（谢静仪饰演）
热门：《乐在双城》章雅乐（瑞恩饰）
黑马：《行医》杨敏妃（刘子绚饰）

竞争最激烈的网上奖项，原以为拥有强大粉丝阵容的瑞恩所向无敌，会一路领先到最终，不料紧跟在后的刘子绚，第3期（至4月5日早上9点）终于突破重围，杨敏妃暂时夺冠，章雅乐沦为亚军。

虽然如此，被震到的瑞恩粉丝铁定奋起直追，第4期（至4月12日早上9点）成功收复失地。瑞恩去年凭《过好年》的杨小冬获奖，只要粉丝持之以恒，成绩应该不会让人跌破眼镜。

最喜爱荧幕情侣
入围者：《正义武馆》宋亚仔和欧可璐（黄俊雄和瑞恩饰）、《行医》吴国恩和杨敏妃（李铭顺和刘子绚饰）、《麻婆斗妇》萧建海和王佳珍（方展发和瑞恩饰）、《边缘父子》田一邦和刘佳芳（李南星和范文芳饰）、《警徽天职》唐耀佳和廖心怡（戚玉武和白薇秀饰）
热门：《正义武馆》宋亚仔和欧可璐（黄俊雄和瑞恩饰）
黑马：《行医》吴国恩和杨敏妃（李铭顺和刘子绚饰）

去年这个奖项赛事激烈，《破天网》的司徒东城和杨念青（李铭顺和欧萱饰），尬上《破天网》邹杰明和汤颖（黄俊雄和周颖饰），几个星期不分高低，最终由前者脱颖而出。

今年，深受喜爱的黄俊雄与瑞恩搭档，双剑合拼，所向披靡。虽然李铭顺和刘子绚在《行医》的搭配赢得观众赞赏，但面对如此强悍的对手，也只能甘拜下风。

新传媒7点档双声道“出师不利”，前晚首播的《断掌的女人》前半小时出现技术问题，导致双声道播出受干扰，相信因此流失了一些观众。

由欧萱挂帅的《断掌的女人》前晚首播收视只有46万6000，是开播收视最低的7点档剧集。

7点档首播 收视一跌再跌

之前的7点档《甘榜情》首播收视82万，但之后陆续接档的《正义武馆》（首播75万7000）、《步步惊心》（首播55万）和《渔米人家》（首播52万3000），首播收视一跌再跌。

甘榜剧全面失守，《渔米人家》前晚大结局数字创新低，只得46万2000。

30集的平均收视数字更是惊人：只得42万2000。

这个平均收视数字，显示甘榜剧在7点档的黄金时段已“hold不住”，从第1部的《甘榜情》至今，半年来流失了约30万观众。

在马来西亚拍摄的甘榜剧《甘榜情》去年回流新加坡7点档，接下《爱》的棒后，平均收视也有75万。可是，后来数字却出现显著下滑，到《正义武馆》的平均收视是64万5000。

后来，让红遍中台的穿越剧《步步惊心》接棒，以为可以暂缓跌势，不料，却又是跌到51万9000的平均收视。

好难等到新传媒为马来西亚制作的《渔米人家》，在7点档播出。不料，却为了统一新马两地演员的口音，选择送往台湾配音。

结果，配音效果惹来“轰声不断”，观众骂失去原汁原味，演员的感情都被“漂淡”了。
