经典重塑《边缘父子》

南星和范文芳、瑞恩会有感情戏？

瑞恩饰演盲女义工，这部戏调子比较严肃，她是戏里释放正能的角色，一直想把南星拉会正路，和他没有男女感情的纠葛。

从《最火搭档》、《过好年》和热播中的《乐在双城》，和瑞恩合作多次，谈谈合作关系？

和她合作最重要是能够了解她，一定要沟通得到。我们也有过不开心的时候，我在片厂脾气很大，难免有冲突。你要了解她的底线，像白薇秀在《乐在双城》里超级性感的打扮，瑞恩是打死都不会要做的，勉强没有幸福，人无十全十美，不过她的优点强过缺点，是会为角色付出很多，懂得再创造角色的演员。

边缘人物话你知

女铁人

收视女王瑞恩成为抢手货，完成《乐在双城》后即加入《麻婆斗妇》拍摄组，紧接着又拍摄《边缘父子》和《正义武馆 》，下半年还有《最火搭档2》… 女铁人工作时间表完全满档。新剧中她饰演正义义工，协助囚犯出狱适应社会，后因意外失明。

20集的〈边缘父子〉预计在今年8月2日，8频道播出。

号外！

预计8月开拍的《最火搭档2》，去年打入收视排行榜第5，这次卷土重来，原版人马上阵，续集中悬疑案件将围绕在主角身上，包括面对亲人死亡情节。袁监制透露，上系列中因剧情发展消失大半集的郑斌辉，在续集将有重要故事线发展，戏份将加重。

Breakout Stars

Elvin Ng starred in two of the top 10 Channel 8 dramas lst year while Rui En acted in three. Are they the new King and Queen of Caldecott Hill?

Top of the Hill

The recently released llist of Top 10 Channel 8 dramas shows there is a new crop of talent ready to take over Caldecott Hill.

By Rachael Boon

And the Top 10 Channel 8 dramas for 2010 are ….

Have a look at the list featured on these pages and many will wonder: Where are the names of Singapore TV’s enduring dynamic duo, Fann Wong and Zoe Tay?

The Queens of Caldecott Hill are nowhere to be seen in the line-up of those starring in the Top 10 list.

The new queen of the Hill is the versatile Rui En, 30, who acted in three dramas which are among the top five Channel 8 shows. She starred in With You, Happy Family and Unriddle.

As for Fann and Tay, they did not even act in any MediaCorp dramas last year to put them in contention. Fann has been busy filming overseas and Tay was pregnant.

The last blockbuster which both of them starred in, along with the two Ah Ge Li Nanxing and Tay Ping Hui, was 2009’s The Ultimatum, which received a lukewarm response. It was criticised for being too melodramatic.

Indeed, the top 10 list runs the gamut of content, from police dramas to stories about families and light-hearted comedy.

The top 10 shows are all MediaCorp’s productions except Taiwanese drama Love.

Modest productions such as With You a supernatural-themed tearjerker, New Beginnings, which dealt with the wedding and funeral industries, and the heart-warming Happy Family, trumped the blockbuster drama Breakout.

Indeed, with Channel 8’s top 10 dramas featuring a greater variety of actors and a wide range of drama genres, it is a sign that big names and blockbusters are not needed to lure viewers.

Things are certainly different from 10 years ago, says actress Cynthia Koh, who has been in the industry since 1992. She says viewers are constantly changing and looking for something more.

The Ah Ge and Ah Jie labels also no longer matter these days because teamwork is more important in producing good dramas, she says.

Rui En is clearly on a trajectory, with a Best Actress nomination for Star Awards 2011 in her bag for her role as a widow in With You, and having acted in three top-rated drama serials in a year.

She was one of MediaCorp’s Seven Princesses – the rest of whom were Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh, Jesseca Liu, Felicia Chin, Fiona Xie and Dawn Yeoh.

The Seven Princesses was a term coined by the Chinese press in 2006, where the seven were said to be next in line to succeed Zoe and Fann.

Until last year, Rui En had never been a crowd favourite, but with other contenders such as Xie, Chin, Yeoh and Liu leaving MediaCorp, her name has come.

Life!’s Asian TV reviewer Foong Woei Wan says Rui En is finally getting the attention she deserves.

She says: “She doesn’t do the usual Channel 8 acting. In With You, she shows that you don’t have to shout, you can whisper and still hold viewers’ attention.”

Along with the new queen comes her royal partner, Elvin Ng, with two Best Actor nominates in a row.

Actor Alan Term, who has a decade of experience and appeared in various top shows last year, says he does see Ng and Rui En as the new generation of leads.

He says, “They are already leads now so I see them as the next pillars of MediaCorp as they are doing pretty well.”

Ice queen turns nice queen

It has been a long climb to the summit, but Rui En, 30, is finally enjoying the view.

The actress, who has been in show business for more than a decade, looks set to be crowned the new queen of Caldecott Hill.

Recognition has finally come, thanks to her roles in three top-rated Channel 8 dramas – With You, Happy Family and Unriddle – and a Best Actress nomination for her role as a grieving widow in With You.

The fortunate series of events did not happen overnight for her. She is known as one of MediaCorp’s seven “princesses”, yet she says her has seen her career “progress in a backward manner”.

By this she explains that she is hardly on top of the popularity pack like the other “princesses” such as Jeanette Aw and Joanne Peh.

In an interview with LifeStyle, she says: “About what I achieved last year, in terms of ratings or anything else, I feel a lot of irony and a little bit of vindication.”

Explaining why, she says: “When this whole “seven princesses” thing was started by the Chinse press in 2006, the media would get people to compare the seven of us and there would be rankings and lists. The funny thing was that then, I was always No. 5 or No. 6.

“Just a few years ago, that was how the media and the public saw me. It was said that I was a bit too distant, the audience wouldn’t accept me, I was too aloof.”

But now, three of her shows have made it to the list of the top five Channel 8 dramas.

The supposed ice queen has since further melted viewers’ hearts with her role as the simle-minded and optimistic Xiaodong in Happy Family, which aired in January last year, She feels that it was that role which made viewers see that she could be more than an ice queen and credits this to the executive producer of Happy Family, Mr Paul Yuen, who cast her.

“For reasons that I don’t know, he decided to cast me as a girl who was simple minded to the point of being silly,” she says.

“The fact that he gave me the chance really changed viewers’ perception of me and I’m very grateful. It turned out to be one of the most comfortable roles I’ve ever played because Xiaodong was very happy and positive.”

Rui En’s hard work over the past decade has paid off. Loyal fans who have stuck with her are really being affected by her moving portrayals in tragic roles such as a widow in With You.

She says: “One auntie came up to me and said, ‘Watching your show makes me cry’. She paused and continued, ‘Actually thinking about it now, I’m going to cry already’. So I was like, ‘oh no, please don’t cry’.”

She adds: “I’m very grateful that viewers have matured to the point where they recognise you for what you are and what you stand for. The recognition I’ve got has proven that.”

By Han Wei Chou

SINGAPORE: Romantic drama “A Tale of 2 Cities” is off to a brilliant start after attracting more than a million viewers when it debuted on Valentine’s Day.

According to figures from MediaCorp, the ratings for the drama’s debut episode is the highest among the recent crop of high profile Mandarin dramas on Channel 8, such as the blockbuster drama “Breakout” and crime thriller “Unriddle”.

“A Tale of 2 Cities”, which revolves around the lives and loves of four odd couples, even managed to beat last year’s overall ratings champ, the supernatural family drama “With You”.

“With You” garnered 923,000 viewers when it debuted at the same 9pm time slot compared to the debut episode of “A Tale of 2 Cities”, which drew a whopping 1,016,000 viewers.

“A Tale of 2 Cities” executive producer Paul Yuen attributed the successful debut of the show to its believable story setting and of course, the hard work of its cast.

“I wanted to create something different with this drama. We used different editing techniques and made sure Singaporeans can relate to the story.

“One aspect of this drama’s storyline for example is how families think about money and happiness. I didn’t want it to be too burdensome with themes like revenge or whatever,” Yuen explained to channelnewsasia.com.

“The cast was also very willing to challenge themselves by playing roles that they have never done before and did not worry about hurting their public image,” he said.

Yuen cited how Rui En took great pains to play the spoiled, ultra-feminine rich girl Zhang Ya Le, who falls from grace and has to struggle to find happiness in the show, as a good example of the cast’s willingness to try new things.

It may have been hard work for Rui En, but the positive reception the show’s debut episode received makes it all worthwhile.

“As long as I can entertain my audience, any sacrifice is worth it. Including the awful gel manicures,” Rui En told channelnewsasia.com.

“I am very surprised and happy [the show debuted well]. I didn’t expect that a ditzy ‘princess’ would be such a draw.”

Yuen had also praised Joanne Peh for daring to discard her good-girl image and play Pan Le Yao, a sexy, materialistic man-eater with a wicked sense of humour.

However, Peh’s fans will have to wait for Tuesday night’s episode of “A Tale of Two Cities”, when her character debuts at 9pm, to see that different side of her.

“A Tale of 2 Cities” airs every weekday night at 9pm on Channel 8.

不负责任猜测：谁来演？

宋巧儿：范文芳
于红：白薇秀

在收视一路喊降的声浪中，“鬼魂”和“白事”相关题材去年最吸引本地免付费的华语频道观众；无独有偶，彭耀顺和林翠芳虽然已离开新传媒，却留下第一名的良好纪录。

新传媒公布各频道最高收视节目，8频道方面，彭耀顺和视帝陈汉玮主演的《我在你左右》，描写红白仪式的《红白喜事》，因为题材新鲜，分别夺下戏剧收视冠亚军。
　
被一些人批评制作简陋的台剧《爱》对观众来说，长而不臭，每天播出还很耐看，高居第三。

瑞恩虽非新传媒直属经纪艺人，一人有三剧打入五大戏剧榜，受力捧程度冠全台。

瑞恩成为本地的收视女王，2010年收视榜前面5名的电视连续剧当中， 有三部是她主演的。

据媒体报道，新传媒2010年收视榜出炉，在最受欢迎的前5名电视剧中，由瑞恩主演的电视剧占了3 部。

由瑞恩、陈汉玮和彭耀顺主演的《我在你左右》，夺得8频道电视剧收视冠军，平均吸引96万9000人收看。

除了冠军《我在你左右》外，《过好年》获第4名，《最火搭档》则排第5。

瑞恩在这三部电视剧中，形象多变：在《过好年》中饰演纯真小妹、在《我在你左右》中则当丧夫少妇，在《最火搭档》中又以刚强警花亮相，让人看到她不同的面貌。

今年产量依然高

被称为去年最高产量公主的瑞恩，今年一样高产量，接了三部剧，包括将在今年4月份播映的《麻婆斗妇》、以及与另外一名公主白薇秀合演、即将在情人节推出的新剧《乐在双城》，还有8月份播映的《正义武馆》。

瑞恩在《麻婆斗妇》中也会一改“ 酷女”的形象，饰演苦命小媳妇， 被许美珍百般迫害。

与媒体关系不太好 瑞恩胜在外形个性

瑞恩是经纪公司“艺人网络”旗下的艺人。

《优1周》之前就认为， 瑞恩是2011 年最应该出位的本地电视艺人， 因为从她近期接演的角色中，看出她在稳定中成长，寻求突破。周刊记者也认为，她虽然新闻不多，不算大红，与媒体的关系不是很好，却凭外型和个性取胜， 角色跟同辈、新生代演员大不同，重复率较低。

（新加坡讯）新传媒2010年全年电视剧收视榜出炉！温馨灵异剧《我在你左右》小刀锯大树，以平均96万9000人收看的收视成绩，将年度大制作《破天网》刷下，夺得去年电视收视榜冠军。

相较2009年由向云、郭舒贤和洪慧芳担纲的《煮妇的假期》以107万6000人夺冠的成绩，《我》的收看人数已跌出百万。就算2009年的收视亚军《团圆饭》都有102万7000人。如今短短1年内少了超过10万观众，电视观众迅速流失的速度让人担忧！

《我》夺8频道收视冠军，证明瑞恩和陈汉玮的魅力不小。同样由瑞恩主演的《过好年》和《最》也分别以89万6000人和89万1000人分别拿下收视榜第四及第五名，让酷公主成为名副其实的“吸睛”天后。

陈汉玮主演的《我》收视夺冠，“打落门牙”演出傻戆卖鱼佬的《五福到》，也拿下第八名。除了收视率是众演员当中的佼佼者，陈汉玮和瑞恩两代演技派，亦曾被新传媒高层陈国明断言，将会是来届《红星大奖》“最佳男、女主角”大热门。
