Liping’s laughter was the key to defrosting the icy Rui En as the two collaborate for the first time on MediaCorp’s latest drama
Known as the Ice Princess of Caldecott, one would hardly expect Rui En to hit off well with anyone.
However, it seems that Chen Liping has managed to melt the Ice Queen’s heart.
At the press conference for Unriddle, Liping proudly declared that Rui En is no longer a ‘princess’, but an Ice Queen.
“However, we are the ‘hottest’ partners so the ice has melted already!” joked Liping.
Liping was right about the melting ice: the icy Rui En appeared cheery throughout the press conference and even shared anecdotes.
“She has a really infectious laughter and she goes out of breath when she laughs, which in turn makes me laugh as well,” said Rui En.
In Unriddle, the two of them take on leading roles as police investigators working as a team to solve crimes. Liping’s role was originally slated to be played by Zoe Tay; however, she had to back out when she got pregnant with her third child.
Judging from their interactions on the press conference and in the interview with xinmsn,
Liping and Rui En appeared to have gotten on pretty well despite this being their first collaboration.
Contrary to her usually-reserved demeanour, the 29-year-old Rui En frequently cracked jokes and was all praises for Liping.
“Liping took great care of me since the first day; she is the most generous artiste I’ve ever met!”
Rui En went on to explain that Liping had let her personal assistant help out Rui En unconditionally.
Liping also complimented Rui En on her acting.
“I thought that she was a good actress when I saw her other works; after working with her, I realize she is better than I thought!”
While Rui En’s With You received positive ratings, Liping’s Your Hand in Mine did not go well with audience.
Both of them explained that audience response is not within their control and they can only do their own best.
“As performers we just concentrate on doing our scenes and doing our own job well. That’s all we can do.”

Idol Worship by Jonathan Fam
A couple of posters of Rui En or Joanne Peh on your wall don’t qualify you as a die-hard fan, at least not according to these fan clubs that expect nothing less than complete devotion to their patron star from members. Here’s the low-down on six local fan clubs.
In praise of… Rui En (Page 38)
Name of FC: RBKD
Established: In 2008.
Slogan: “Traversing the road less traveled, lux veritas” (Roughly translated as ‘light and truth’) as suggested by Rui En.
Prove your loyalty: “Every member writes her a letter every second Friday of the month. By the way, when will she appear on your cover again? It’s already been a year.”

(IV) OBSERVATIONS ON AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE
RANGE AND QUALITY OF CHINESE PROGRAMMES
d) Dramas
39 For local dramas, ACCESS indicated that it enjoyed Channel 8’s productions such as “书包太é‡â€ (My School Daze), “游æˆäººç”Ÿâ€ (Priceless Wonder) and “ä¸å‡¡çš„爱†(By My Side) for their exploration of the universal themes of friendship and family relationships. In particular, the Committee found that “游æˆäººç”Ÿâ€ (Priceless Wonder) and “ä¸å‡¡çš„爱†(By My Side) were valuable in creating awareness among viewers on social issues such as the ills of problem gambling and promiscuity, as well as the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).

This is the newest version of another twist and turn of the upcoming big drama ‘Unriddle’ starring Rui En, Chen Li Ping, Tay Ping Hui and many other veteran stars.
Just finished shooting Rui En and Chen Li Ping today at a studio to be used for creating drama poster and ads…(photos uploading). More on 8gg blogsite soon on today’s shoot.
Recently, media declared that now it is the time of 欧白年代 (literally referring to just Jeanette Aw vs Joanne Peh). But I think they have missed out on a formidable foe in their midst – Rui En. 2010 is Rui En’s best year with 3 uniquely different roles. A nomination for Star Awards 2011 Best Actress? You bet.
Don’t expect the usual…this drama is going to stick in your head for a long long time…and by the way, there will be many countdown versions rolling out soon…each will feature one of the characters ‘evaporating’ into the air literally….
