电视剧《花样人间》人物以方言互称，忠于年代背景，也趁机教育年轻人，获议员马炎庆好评。

目前正在8频道播映的连续剧《花样人间》，剧中人物互相称呼时，用潮州或是福建话，例如头家、头家娘、阿叔等。

淡滨尼集选区议员马炎庆日前观赏此剧，注意到演员利用方言互称，大力称赞。

马炎庆受访时说：“这是很真实的用法，衍自那个年代的背景。方言是我们的文化遗产，这么做能帮助年轻一代的观众接触方言，了解对长辈的方言尊称等，老一辈看了也会有亲切感。”

马炎庆说，希望以后的剧集中，能多加入方言元素。

“当然，大部分的对白还是应该用华语，但在适合的时候使用方言，能让对白更加生动有趣，也是我们文化遗产的一部分。”

监制王尤红：特地设计4家庭来自不同籍贯

《花样人间》监制王尤红指出，制作团队在对白和人物设计的确下了一番苦工，很开心获得议员的赞赏。

王尤红说，他们特地设计4个主要家庭来自不同籍贯，一些称呼和食物名称用方言来说，展现当年人与人之间感情浓厚，不同方言群相处没有隔阂。

“陈莉萍和郑各评一家是福建人，周初明饰演潮州人，黄文永一家是广东人，姚玟隆和潘玲玲则代表海南人，这是我们一开始就设计好的，每一家都用自己的方言称呼父母等。”

她说，现在年轻人对方言较陌生，希望通过此剧，让年轻人获益。“知道议员也注意我们的剧集，非常开心。”

《花样人间》中方言的使用引起不少观众注意，反应很不错，认为在电视上有方言对白十分难得。

小鬼台湾用语显得美中不足

《花样人间》台湾演员小鬼念台词时改不了台湾用语，把垃圾（la ji）念“le se”，显得美中不足。

马炎庆说：“小部分口音不同其实可以接受，但完全不同的读音，除非剧中的人物是台湾人，否则会显得突兀。其实要纠正这类发音，并不是很难做到的要求。”

“像美国演员如果要演英国人，会特地用英国口音，比较注意这类细节。当然，本地剧集也许难做到这么严谨。”

对此，王尤红说，当年的人本来就会使用不同地方性的语言，而有时候如果一场戏演得自然，导演不会在一些对白上过于要求。

“不过，既然有人反映，我们今后都会多加注意，无论好坏的评语都会接受。”

Before the curtains close on this mid-year blockbuster series in two weeks time, we look at our favourite moments and a handful of outstanding characters that gave this show appeal

Headlined by a colourful cast ranging from budding newbies, well-loved veterans and fresh foreign faces, the now-airing Ch8 drama series, Joys of Life, is a light-hearted throwback to our ancestors’ lives in a still-developing Singapore during the ’50s and ’60s.

For many born in the era, it was a good walk down memory lane with once-in-a-blue-moon glass-bottled-fizzy-drink treats and roadside hawkers touting wooden pushcarts and cheap noodles at 50 cents per bowl. Whereas for gen-z babies born in the digital age who have never lived in — much less know about — squatter settlements other than the black and white pictures found in our history textbooks, it was an eye-opening and educational watch.

With a week’s worth of episodes to go before the finale episode, here are 10 reasons on what makes Joys of Life an appealing watch.

Ensemble cast

Joys of Life hits the spot with its well-balanced ensemble cast helmed by a healthy mixture of veterans such as Chen Liping, Zheng Geping, Huang Wen Yong, Chew Chor Meng and young actors like Rui En, Kate Pang and Andie Chen.

Unlike previous local period dramas, it was a refreshing change to see the lack of focus on any one of these characters as everyone had an equal share of the spotlight with their individual story arcs – everyone was the main actor at one point or another. And of course, how can we forget, the special guest appearances from ex-MediaCorp actors such as Florence Tan, Pei Xiao Ling, Lina Ng, and Wang Yuxiang? Now if we can only get Xie Shaoguang to do a cameo one of these days…

Nostalgic setting

A spinoff of the 1999 Wok of Life, which features an almost similar lineup of familiar faces, Joys of Life circa 2012 is a reminder of the type of nostalgic series that MediaCorp does best. Caught up in the demands and pressures to produce outstanding dramas each year to whet viewers’ growing appetite for better shows, we tend to forget that simplicity, light-hearted moments, and a solid script are sometimes the key ingredients to what makes a drama tick — rather than drummed up plot twists and over-the-top dramatics at every turn.

Witty script

The beauty of a good script lies in its adroit use of dialect, wordplays and puns, and as writers, we’re admittedly, suckers for it. It’s a pity such details are unwittingly lost in translation for younger viewers who are usually heavily reliant on the English subtitles rather than the actual Mandarin conversation taking place in the show. And of course, how can we forget the witty banter and retorts weaved in the script that had us cackling at our desks while catching the online re-run of Joys of Life over takeout lunch.

The origins of chilli crab… or not?

The accidental ‘invention’ of chili crabs was shown in a scene when Han Jianren (Huang Wenyong) and Han Yongyong (Rui En) accidentally toppled in a bottle of chilli sauce while cooking a crab dish for a wealthy family. While we cannot confirm for sure if that was how our famed local dish was born, it was a nice touch thrown in that had us googling for answers to double check on the origins of the dish.

Flight at an ungodly hour tomorrow morning and we hit the ground running. Flight at an ungodly hour back too. Yer pres wanted to see if u guys could send me off, but the hours are too ungodly. How many times can one use the word ungodly in one sentence?

Gonna miss Mondays epi which am so looking forward too. It was heart wrenching for me to do that scene. Almost as painful as the internal bleeding I sustained from trying not to laugh when LP was Wang Bao Chuan.

Dark Knight was disappointing, non?

Stay safe Rangels.

《花样人间》有望挤下 《995》，成为今年的冠军剧。

35集的台庆剧《花》播映至今，取得平均86万3000的收视率，只比之前的收视王 《995》微少3千*。随着接下来围绕着”大世界”的歌厅剧情登场，一般相信收视还会再提高。

不过，下半年的电视剧戏码也很强， 《花》要稳坐冠军宝座不易。其中，有打出”边缘父子”少年演员吴劲威，谢静仪和方伟杰牌的校园剧 《我们等你》; 李南星的 《X元素》和让老戏骨扛大旗的年底大戏 《对对碰》等，都可以威胁到 《花》的榜首剧排名。

更正：根据之前的多方报道，《995》平均收视为86万6千，所以与《花样人间》的86万3千的差异应为＂3千＂而非报道中的＂3万＂。(Reference: I-Weekly)
