Club MAD!

Heard about the fan who willed her multi-million dollar fortune to Fann Wong? Just like RBKD isn’t a K-pop band and Jeanius isn’t a typo, there’s a lot more to local fan clubs that you probably didn’t know about.

4. Joining a fan club is like going back to school

Do you miss those fun orientation games you played as a freshman? Join a fan club, then. RBKD, Rui En’s formidable fan club, held an orientation ‘camp’ for its members and potential members at Sentosa in June. The full-day event saw over 60 Rui En-fanatics run amok on the island, play games that included an Amazing Race-inspired scavenger hunt, and put up skits related to Rui En and RBKD. Rui En was not there.

“This idea started two years ago when we realised that our members weren’t familiar with one another,” explains club president Peh Xinyi, 25. “It’s also a good way for potential members to learn about RBKD,” she adds. But if you think taking part in the orientation gets you a free pass into the club, think again. You have to make at least 30 relevant posts about Rui En on the club’s online forum before your membership is “approved”. RBKD, set up four years ago, currently has 111 members. “It’s not easy to join RBKD,” Xinyi warns us. “Only constructive comments count, and we have a moderator to look through the posts every month,” she adds sternly. The rules may be very stringent – it’s probably easier to apply for a housing loan – but it fits perfectly with Rui En’s no-nonsense attitude.

2. Boos & Bravos Page 112

BRAVO to the thrilling new drama Poetic Justice (weeknights, Ch 8) revolving around the lives of a group of ambitious TV journos played by Rui En, Dai Yangtian and Rebecca Lim. While its depiction of how they go about gathering news is a tad too sensationalised to be taken seriously, it’s a minor gripe that’s quickly forgotten and forgiven, considering how fast-paced the story is. The cast’s spirited on-screen rapport helps, too.

If you are a fan, would you do anything to make reporters think badly of your idol?

Such as writing hate mails, using abusive language, each and every time they write about your idol?

Does this even make sense?

Would you do these if you are really a fan of Rui En?

If you do, it’s unbelievable. You sound more like a hater to me.

Languages and emails were not invented for such purposes. The development of Internet has empowered each and every individual with access to the World Wide Web, but too often has this been abused. This is one such case too.

The person assumed the convenient anonymity that Internet has empowered him/her, to harass his/her victims with abusive language and strong words.

RBKD strongly disagrees with such actions. Such wrongdoings should not be condoned. You may wish to file a police report if you continue to be the victim of such harassment.

Boy, have things changed in the local fan club scene since our last feature on it.

New fan clubs with snazzier names have sprouted overnight (yes, we’re looking at you Kimchis, Ianizers and Edwinners), RBKD joins Fannatic Fann Club as the only fan clubs that are officially registered as a society, and DAInamics who once travelled as far as to Heng Dian, China to support their idol disbanded, went through an ugly split, and has since regrouped to form a brand new fan club dubbed “DYT Galaxy” in June 2012.

Forming one-half the backbone behind an artiste’s success in showbiz, you spot these fan clubs rallying and pushing for votes to get their idols in the top ranks year after year at the annual Star Awards, hollering their lungs out and frantically waving fan boards at mall events and shows. Brought together by a common love for an actor or actress, it’s no surprise if they start to hang out like regular pals seeing how a handful of clubs have gone beyond the call of “fan” duty to put their time and energy to good use through regular voluntary activities.

In no order of superiority (we prefer going by alphabetical order), we present to you, a handy guide to the local fan clubs.

RBKD – The Official Fan Club of Rui En

Under Cover: Rui En

According to NYLON’s DNA, we’re supposed to transform people – but how does one transform the resident ice queen of Caldecott Hill? We thought, let’s make her fiercer. Out came the spiked boots, studded stillettos and of course, makeup to match. Going in a completely opposite direction from her character in her new drama, “Joys of Life”, where she plays a domestically-inclined daughter of a low-income family, we gave her a dramatic, winged out cat-eye and piled on eyeshadow for depth. What we found odd was that, despite her rumoured frosty demeanor, she turned out to be an absolute joy to work with. We’re fans.

Cover story Pages 114-123

The Naked Truth

By Vicki Yang

Vintage just ain’t hip anymore; classical antiquity is in. But excepting scholastic tradition, there’s something quite misdirected about slapping a latin motto onto any contemporary venture, like pointing out its own lightweight show of gravitas and a less-than-historical credibility. But perhaps there’s kind of an apt wisdom behind the idea of “lux veritas” (an elementary translation: the light of the truth), which Rui En’s fan club has incorporated into their slogan. Indeed, a celebration of a decade-long career premised on making goggle box artifice believeable veritably demands a spotlight on the reality behind the channel 8 television images – who is the real Rui En?

Dear All

It’s recruitment period again.

I know I am supposed to write a note; to encourage new fans to join our family and “ex”-members to renew their membership too. 

But, I really have no idea what to write.

I only know that I appreciate this silent chemistry we Rangels share. Knowing no matter what, even if you can’t be super active, you are still there with us, as one of us, for us.

There are times when my team and I feel swarmed, times when we feel like we are alone in this, we struggle to cope. But time to time, a different someone will ask, “are you okay?”, and give us a gentle pat on the shoulder, telling us it’s “a job well done”.

You never know how big your small actions are until you are on the receiving end.

Some times I thought we lost you, but no, no matter where you are, you still made it back with us. I thrill at seeing your names, and you know I mean it

My dear members, it is this heart, this sincerity and this togetherness that makes us different. Our membership scheme is only as difficult as your sincerity would limit you. No one can and no one will stop a sincere you.

The application form is a necessary formality, you know this…….

I look forward to having you with us again, together. Remember, you are never just a number to us, you are family.

See you back in colors in forum!

Cheers!

怎么和记者一样玩起语文游戏了呢？

把焦点转回来吧，由始至终，这从来都不是个文字游戏。

朋友，让你们叹气了，对不起。

事过境迁，都过去那么久了，何必再提呢？我们也是这么以为的。

可是事与愿违。

记者这篇搞子的出发点为何呢？目的又为何呢？可真如他所写的，“建议瑞恩。。检讨自己的脾气，吸取前车之鉴。”？

印象中，瑞恩好像没再就此事发言了吧？难不成，瑞恩一日未登报写悔过书，记者将年复一年地“好心”建议瑞恩收敛脾气么？即认为瑞恩不听劝，那又何必时不时就“好心提点”呢？若因认为瑞恩会听劝而写此文章，又何必写了又写，写过了还在写呢？所以请问，记者的出发点，到底为何呢？

引述记者所写，“至于哪一篇哪一句如何伤害到瑞恩，她被伤害到什么情况，是不红了、没人气了还是没戏拍了，经纪人有口难言，就是说不出个所以然来。”

难道呼了人一巴掌后，脸上没手指印，就不疼了吗？那巴掌就不算有打下去了吗？

请问，瑞恩红不红、有无人气、有无戏拍，这和感到受伤害有何关系？难道红了就不会感到受伤害？难道有人气、有戏拍，就不会受伤，还是没资格受伤了呢？这间中，是该有关系的吗？

请记者不要因为人若走出过往的伤害就认定此人从未受过伤，因此，再挖个坑让她跌入也无妨。

记者对瑞恩的偏见，有关注本地娱乐圈的朋友应都略有所闻。不给电话号码就抵制你，这也不无耳闻。难道这也算记者的专业操守么？有心者，相信无需我们一一举例你们也早已有所察觉。

素有所闻，记者在新戏记者会上从不采访瑞恩（除此例外，可司马昭之心，路人且知）。夸张离谱至连点头打声招呼都省却，只因当她是空气，不屑理会。在场媒体及工作人员不可能不曾发现。这点难道还能有假？

记者语法好，语文掌控能力强，呼了个巴掌都能说是有苦难言，恨铁不成钢。可记者文字中，有无让读者们对瑞恩有负面性看法的企图心，这点儿记者应当比我们更清楚。

不管是谁，你我如百姓，他她如艺人，任何人与人之间的意见不合，是没有一方能难辞其咎的。

两位主角或该检讨，粉丝们也或该检讨检讨，那记者先生呢？你自我检讨了吗？

作此回应，只因相信记者文字再了得，也不该任由其文字扭曲事实。所谓“曾母投杼”啊！

会长

后记：记者洪铭铧昨日在专栏刊登了篇对瑞恩与张耀栋过往风波旧事重提的文章。在此分享只会鼓励愈合的伤疤一次次地遭人扒开。记者也常津津乐道，以所谓的无名内情、行内人他说为根据，引导读者想他所想，思他所思，针对的往往都是不肯向他屈服的艺人们。榜上有名的何止瑞恩一人，只是不愿例名，将他人无辜卷入其中。

如此不敬业的媒体工作者RBKD实在不敢苟同，联合早报每日发行量173千份，想必我们网站每日仅2千人的人流量对记者而言也不足为奇。因此借此机会宣布，RBKD将不再分享或上载任何由洪铭铧记者所撰写的文章。不便之处，敬请原谅。
