The actress shared her thoughts about portraying a reporter for her role in the upcoming drama “Poetic Justice”

Often being painted in a negative picture by the local newspapers, you can’t fault Rui En for developing a a love-hate relationship for her new role as a reporter in the new Channel 8 drama, ‘Poetic Justice’.

The actress, who just wrapped up filming for ‘Joys of Life’, starring Taiwanese idol Xiao Gui, will be immersed in a new production soon and she let on that she is ‘used to the hectic life.’

TV audiences will see Rui En portraying a low-profiled lifestyle reporter in ‘Poetic Justice’ where she will be paired up with Dai Yangtian for the first time.

During an interview with xinmsn, Rui En revealed that she is not close with Yangtian, but looks forward to working with him.

The 31-year-old expressed that Yangtian seemed to be ‘a quiet person,’ and laughingly replied that she is ‘not worried at all!’ to work with him.

‘On the contrary, we might get along well as we are both quiet, [co-starring in the drama together] that would be good,’ the actress shared.

Commenting on the negative news about the actress splashed all over the media in recent months, Rui En faces accusations for ‘putting on a long face’ during the Star Awards 2012 award ceremony. She touched on her experience with reporters and felt that the reporter ‘took things out of context’.

The 31-year-old wonderd aloud, ‘Why do reporters have to be so harsh in their words?’ and added that she developed next feelings when she was told of her role in the drama.

‘I am the one who’s being reported by reporters and now I’ve to understand them and probe deeper into the reasons behind why they do certain things,’ the actress explained.

To prepare for her role, Rui En did her homework and read the autobiography of Mike Wallace, a famous US reporter. She also researched about the profession so as to prepare herself to ‘experience the grievances of a reporter’ for the next two months.

The actress jokingly lamented, ‘I understand that reporters did what they have to do for the job, but sometimes it is really a bother!’

After more than a year of absence on local goggle box, local actor Dai Yang Tian returned to Singapore on May 21 to prepare for the filming of the upcoming Channel 8 drama Fair? Unfair? (working title).

This is Yangtian’s first drama after 2010’s Breakout and The Quarters (yet to be aired drama) in 2011.

In Fair? Unfair?, the actor will take on the role Fang Zhengye, a guy who is born with a silver spoon. His character meets reporter Liu Yanzhi (Rui En), and the two get embroiled in a series of events.

Speaking to xinmsn during his imaging session for the drama, Yang Tian spoke honestly about his thoughts on co-star Rui En, whom he is working with for the first time.

Is the actor worried about acting aside ‘ice princess’ Rui En?

‘She is indeed cold,’ Yang Tian said matter-of-factly, ‘But that does not mean anything, work is work, and she is a very professional actress. Whether or not she is a cold person in private, this is just a matter of personality and it does not affect our performance.’

Pausing for a moment, the actor then questioned aloud in jest, ‘I’m actually a person who likes to keep to myself as well, does this means I’m also a difficult person to work with?’

Fair? Unfair? is slated to premiere on Ch8 in September.

POPULAR Singapore crime and investigation series Unriddle is back with a darker sequel. Unriddle 2 traces the lives of crime-fighting duo Da Bao (Chen Li Ping) and Xiao Man (Rui En), as they work together solving mysterious criminal cases.

In an interview, Tay Ping Hui talks about his role in Unriddle 2.

Any memorable event happened during the making of the sequel?

Yes. There was a very tragic scene between my character and Da Bao. I didn’t know what was on her mind, but she started to laugh hysterically in the middle of the scene when the camera was rolling. Her infectious laughter then affected my other co-star, Rui En, who burst out laughing along with her.

Who’s who

SINGAPOREAN drama series Unriddle was a hit and created waves in the republic. The series also received four nominations at the prestigious Star Awards 2011, including for best drama serial and best screenplay.

The addictive crime investigative drama series is back now with a darker and more sinister sequel. Unriddle 2, which premiered last Wednesday, is screened over ntv7 fom Monday to Thursday at 10pm.

The celebrated series traces the trials and tribulations of crime-fighting duo, Lin Zheng Yi (also known as Da Bao in the serial) and Hu Xiao Man, portrayed by Chen Li Ping and Rui En respectively.

Some members of the cast of Unriddle 2 were in Kuala Lumpur recently to promote the series.

Elvin Ng, who plays Rui En’s on-screen nemesis Xie Lang Feng (nicknamed Wolf), said the script is a narrative that transcends what’s right and wrong. The intricacy of the lessons each character presents is what makes Unriddle 2 such a hit among audience.

According to Chen, Unriddle 2 is much more intense than its prequel as there is more drama revolving around the characters from part one who also have to weather through unfortunate events.

Rui En, who worked closely with Chen because of the nature of their on-screen characters, nearly succumbed to the pressure. Chen, who is the more experienced actress, managed to help Rui En regain her footing.

Rui En berkata, hal itu terjadi kerana dia terlalu menghayati wataknya sebagai Hu Xiao Man sehinggakan dia terbawa-bawa ke luar set penggambaran.

“Bayangkan sehingga di satu tahap, saya mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat kepada rakan-rakan di sekeliling dan kebingungan. Fikiran saya hanya memikirkan untuk bunuh diri sahaja.

“Saya bersyukur kerana pelakon gandingan saya, Chen Li Ping berjaya membawa diri saya keluar daripada watak tersebut,” katanya.

Tambah Rui En, Chen bukan sekadar rakan artis yang akrab dengannya tetapi kedua-dua mereka begitu mudah apabila bekerjasama dalam mana-mana penggambaran sekalipun.
