RBKD: Rui En plays a kidney patient, Shen Chuyi in Life is Beautiful, who is given a second chance of life after undergoing a successful kidney transplant operation. In the show, she can be seen rattling off calorie-related figures which she finds it a challenge to remember the lines and numbers. Nonetheless, that’s also the beauty of the character as that’s her way of showing her love.

Rui En finds it a huge relief and great joy to act in Life is Beautiful after filming Against The Tide as Chuyi, a happy-go-lucky kidney patient is the complete opposite with Qiu Xueqing.

Apart from the joy working with her co-stars, it was also a sobering experience for Rui En when she visited the NKF Dialysis Centre. Speaking to kidney patients as part of her preparation for the role was an eye-opener in many ways.

Another meaningful aspect of working on a projects like Life is Beautiful and and C.L.I.F. would be the career reaffirmation she gets from educating the public via her roles.

When asked what would Rui En do if she is given a second chance in life, she replied that she’d be less selfish and try her best every day to be a better person.

Life is Beautiful 初一的心愿 debuts 05 March 2015 9pm on Channel 8.

RBKD: In an informal poll conducted by I-Weekly, readers are asked to vote for their preferred winners for Best Actor and Best Actress at this year’s Star Awards. The poll is done via Facebook and each individual may only vote once.

Rui En received astounding support of 83.5% votes to become I-Weekly readers’ choice of Best Actress this year. I-Weekly suggested that the results were expected as Rui En attempted her first villian role in “Against The Tide”.

However, I-Weekly also wondered if the result was due to her massive fan base’s support or a recognition by the masses of her as an actress with real substance (实力派).

10 Questions with Rui En

The perennially popular MediaCorp actress and face of cosmetics giant L’Oreal shares her outlook on change, her career and what’s up in the new year.

Did you manage to stick to 2014’s new year resolution (what was it?) and what’s your resolution for 2015?

I never make new year’s resolutions. I just try to be a better person every day, one step at a time.

What’s your worst habit or character trait that you would like to change?

Procrastination.

You’ve recently starred in your first baddie role in Against The Tide. What’s the next step in pushing the envelope?

I would love to say otherwise but complex roles for females are extremely rare in Singapore. I would jump at any chance to try anything I have never done before.

Your profession is all about change. How do you plan to reinvent yourself in the coming year?

Reinvention just for the sake of it is ultimately futile. Reinvention should be a natural progress as an artiste matures.

You’ve focused most of your time on acting so far. Is singing something you would like to do more of in the future? Which gives you more satisfaction?

I’d love to do both at the same time. They are two very different art forms and give different kinds of satisfaction.

Describe your fashion style. Is your taste constantly evolving or do you have a more or less fixed look that you stick to?

It’s constantly evolving. In my daily life off-screen, I am highly mood driven. Sometimes I’ll feel like wearing a dress or putting on red lipstick. Other times I stick religiously to the Singaporean uniform – tees, shorts and slippers. Singaporean and proud.

Which city/country do you most want to visit this year?

I would like to explore Europe more.

What new skill/hobby do you hope to learn and why?

Art appreciation and history. I simply just fell in love with Monet and Michelangelo.

If your slate for the entire year is suddenly cleared, what’s the first few things you would want to do?

Make travel plans.

RBKD: Besides the nomination list, I-Weekly collated 3 main areas of focus to note, including the returning of Felicia Chin in victorious manner with her nomination in Best Actress. I-Weekly opined that Felicia’s rape scenes in “The Journey: Turmultous Times” is a traditional crowd-pleaser with the judges and has chances of winning as a result. However, they added that before she can achieve that, she will face two hurdles in Rui En, who plays a villian role in “Against The Tide” for the first time, and in Joanne Peh, who was complimented for her always steady and reliable performance in C.L.I.F.3.

陈凤玲重回新传媒备受力捧，回巢第一部戏就入围“最佳女主角”，同样入围“最佳女主角”的林慧玲也是今年受到力捧的女将。

两届视后瑞恩入围“最佳女主角”、“最喜爱女角色”和“最喜爱荧幕情侣”。她曾表示满意自己在《逆潮》里的表现，对于入围她说：“只要有突破，并且能带给观众震撼，我已经很满足，得不得奖无所谓，也没有去想胜算如何。”

《红星大奖2015》入围名单昨天出炉，白薇秀、戚玉武去年9月9日结婚后，不久前传将当父母，白薇秀婚孕旺旺，今年凭《警徽天职3》和《信约：动荡的年代》双料入围“最佳女主角”和“最佳女配角”，多喜临门。

“最喜爱荧幕情侣”相信已是这对银色夫妻囊中物。

不过，最让人跌眼镜的，是去年《红星》视后大热门欧萱，最后遭陈莉萍截糊，失掉“最佳女主角”，今年她又跌出视后入围名单。她今年仅入围“最喜爱女角色”和“最喜爱荧幕情侣”。今年欧萱也将和赖怡伶一起拿“超级红星”正式上神台，未来没机会再进“10大”，去年又走失夺视后最佳时机，不少粉丝和网友都纷纷为她叫屈。

欧萱在《球在你脚下》和《动荡》有举足轻重的演出，不过却被刷出局。陈凤玲重回新传媒反备受力捧，尽管在《动荡》中的演绎一般但马上入围“最佳女主角”，林慧玲也是今年受到力捧的女将。也有网友质疑，林湘萍在《球》里充其量只是女配角戏份，但为何能入围“最佳女主角”，让人莫名其妙。

‘自家人’占优势？观众质疑评审标准

名为Josh.T的读者看到入围名单后，电邮本报表达看法。他说：“看了入围名单感到很意外。实力派黄碧仁因为合约而不能入围红星大奖最佳女主角，真的很可惜。同样的，欧萱也成了本届的遗珠。比起同剧的陈凤玲差劲演技，欧萱的表现获得观众和媒体的赞赏，展现了成熟的演技，她的角色内敛不张扬，让人回味。她比一些入围者更应该获得提名。对于其他奖项的名单也觉得莫名其妙，真的是没眼看！”

《红星》一向来被质疑内定，只“益”自家人，今年很多自家新人如黄思恬和与转签新传媒的冯伟衷，都有许多演出机会，也“顺势”入围了“最佳男女配角”和“最佳新人”。

入围名单

最佳女主角

陈凤玲《信约：动荡的年代》
白薇秀《警徽天职3》
林慧玲《我们一定行》
瑞恩《逆潮》
林湘萍《球在你脚下》

最佳女主角奖，陈凤玲回归新传媒后，凭《信约：动荡的年代》挑战四名视后 – 《警徽天职》、《我们一定行》的林慧玲玲、《球在你脚下》的林湘萍、《逆潮》的瑞恩。

《信约:动荡的年代》以14项专业奖项入围暂时领先，紧随在后是10项入围的《逆潮》。

如果连第一场颁奖礼观众投选的奖项加在一起，两场颁奖礼的入围名单相加，冯伟衷是入围大赢家，他以《逆潮》反派角色入围“最喜爱男角色”奖，本届共有3项入围。

其后是白薇秀、陈凤玲、林慧玲、瑞恩、张振寰的各2.5项入围（最喜爱荧幕情侣算半项）。

陈凤玲、林慧玲和瑞恩在最喜爱女角色奖五强再碰头，三人分别有《球在你脚下》《我们一定行》及《逆潮》代表。另两强是《信约：动荡的年代》的欧萱及《球在你脚下》的谢静仪。
