The MediaCorp artiste plays Rui En’s love interest in Ch8’s upcoming rom-com ‘A Tale of Two Cities’

If the trailer presented at the press conference for Ch8 upcoming romantic comedy A Tale of Two Cities was anything to go by, we think Pierre Png might have a good chance being nominated for Best Actor in Star Awards next year.

In A Tale of Two Cities, Pierre plays Hong Kong veteran actress Choo Mimi’s adopted son Lin Wen Tao, who is not only a three-time taekwondo champion, but also a professional wedding photographer at his mother’s bridal shop.

A gentle and simple man by nature, Wen Tao is in cahoots with his mother, to try and change willful heiress Zhang Ya Le (played by Rui En) for the better. The two later fall in love and ultimately get married, but not without an obstacle, which comes in the form of an ex-girlfriend.

During the press conference, Pierre stated that filming A Tale of Two Cities with Rui En was a relaxed affair, although he still felt slightly pressurised because “she’s (Rui En) really good at what she does”.

This would be the second time Pierre and Rui En play onscreen couple; the first being Honour and Passion in 2007.

“Rui En is a lovely actress to work with. I love the way she gets into character because she’s so not like the character that she plays,” Pierre laughed during an interview with xinmsn.

Pierre further complimented his co-star for “bringing substance and life into her character”.

The actor added that working with Choo Mimi was a great learning experience, saying that she had “so much experience [with] the way they tackle the character, the way they prepare for the character”.

“Everything they do is just something to watch, something to learn from,” he said.

Pierre also called Choo Mimi “a joy to work with” as the talkative actress would take away the pressure from any scenes — be it an emotional one or a scene which required quarreling or bantering.

Despite starring in high-profile dramas such as Your Hand in Mine and The Score last year, Pierre has failed to secure a Best Actor nomination in the Star Awards this year.

When asked how he felt about not being nominated, Pierre said that since the beginning of his acting career, he had never actually thought he would make it into the Most Popular Male Artiste or even be nominated for Best Actor.

His last Best Actor nomination was in 2006 for his role as Nameless in The Shining Star, where he starred opposite then-newcomer Dawn Yeoh.

“That one time that I was nominated for Best Actor, they had to put me in the same category as Li Nanxing. So I thought that was a real sick joke,” Pierre guffawed.

While it was a pity he was not nominated this time, the actor said he would be supporting his friends at the event and wished all the nominees best of luck.

“I’m happy just being on the payroll, just having roles to play, different characters to analyse, different shows to be in and acting with different actresses. They keep getting younger,” Pierre smirked.

Catch Pierre Png and Rui En in A Tale of Two Cities, debuting this Valentines’ Day (Feb 14), 9pm on Channel 8.

I would like to congratulate Rui En for her Best Actress Nomination at the Star Awards this year.

Her performance in With You touched my heart and moved me to tears on several occasions.

She has been in the business for 10 years yet this is the first time that she has been nominated. At least her performance did not go unnoticed this time.

Not expecting to score a best actress nomination is Zhou Ying, who is not completely satisfied with her performance in “Breakout”.

“If given another chance, I would do better,” said the 26-year-old Shanghainese, adding that she is “just honoured to be nominated alongside shi jies” (seniors in Chinese) like Joanne Peh (“Your Hand In Mine”), Chen Li Ping (“Unriddle”), Jeanette Aw (“Breakout”) and Rui En (“With You”), also a first-time nominee in this category.

Besides “Breakout”, other frontrunners include “The Family Court” with eight nominations and “Unriddle” with seven, while heartwarming variety show “Love On A Plate” takes the lead among variety productions with five nods, including best variety programme and best variety show host.

当家花旦瑞恩首度入围《红星》”最佳女主角”，力拼入围多次的欧萱，周颖初次担纲女主角，也首次加入战局！

xinmsn娱乐组报道

当家花旦瑞恩首度入围《红星》”最佳女主角”，力拼入围多次的欧萱，周颖初次担纲女主角，也首次加入战局！

《红星大奖2011》入围名单今午出炉，”最佳女主角”人选方面在预料之中，包括《最火搭档》的视后陈莉萍、《破天网》的欧萱与周颖、《想握你的手》的白薇秀和《我在你左右》的瑞恩。

这些角色形象突出，发挥空间大，比较有起伏，故竞争激烈，并没有人有明显的冠军相。

瑞恩：打赌自己不会入围

瑞恩在2002年出道，近年来演技日渐纯熟，尝试各种角色，突破酷女形象，从《过好年》的乐天傻妹到《我在你左右》的悲情寡妇，皆让人眼前一亮，也成了本地去年的收视女王。

这次，她终于凭《我在你左右》的深刻演技，入围”最佳女主角”，也是不少人心中的大热门。

瑞恩在接受xinmsn电访时，开心表示：”我非常非常意外，这种入围的感觉很陌生，因为从来没有过，我在校园也从来没有拿过什么奖。”

她透露，她还和朋友打赌，认为自己不会入围，但结果输了，可能要请吃饭。

问她的得奖胜算，瑞恩表示：”我觉得自己完全没有机会得奖，这样也就没有压力。”《我在你左右》能够收视第一，她已经很满足了。

不过，搭档陈汉玮可是非常看好瑞恩，称赞她这几年很不错，在看似难接触的外表下，非常有料。

周颖：第一时间通知父母

和瑞恩一样，这是周颖首度入围”最佳女主角”。但相对于瑞恩等了多年，周颖福星高照，得到好角色，签约新传媒不到1年，首度担纲女主角，已经获得评审肯定。

至于对手们，周颖表示很开心，和她们一起入围是自己的荣耀。虽然不敢说谁的胜算最高，但她很喜欢瑞恩的角色，她当时每天追看《我在你左右》。
