In Crescendo, the current Channel 8 drama about the music business, Jiang Chufan (Tay Ping Hui) is the musical genius responsible for countless songs in the Singaporean songbook and his friend Yang Yiwei (Christopher Lee) is the businessman.

Yiwei is also the hero here. As the chief executive officer of a struggling record label he started with Chufan and another friend, Luo Dawei (Darren Lim), Yiwei takes real risks, from gulping a mystery drink (possibly urine) to appease a Chinese investor to mortgaging his own home to finance the debut of Alixia (Olivia Ong), a Singaporean singer championed by Chufan.

To be specific, Yiwei is a Singaporean hero – the latest in a long line of mavericks imagined by WaWa Pictures in dramas including Secrets For Sale and Game Plan – who runs the quantifiable risks that Singaporeans understand, but might not take.

Singapore, in founding prime minister Lee Kuan Yew’s formulation, is a country that can’t afford poetry and it follows that music is an extravagance too.

In Crescendo, Yiwei, Chufan and Dawei have to face the costs, financial and human, of being in the music business.

In early episodes, Yiwei and Chufan lock horns over the former’s plan to enter a lucrative contract to produce vanity records for a Chinese tycoon’s goddaughter, which will delay the debut of the composer’s talented, disheartened student, Alixia.

And in a strain of melodrama, Chufan is still good friends with Yiwei’s estranged wife Wang Yafang (Cynthia Koh), who sang with the boys back in junior college, during the surge of xinyao, Singaporean folk-pop, in the 1980s.

Later, after the label decides to put Singaporean talent first and promote Alixia in the more significant Taiwanese market, she has second thoughts.

Typecast as a dummy on a Taiwanese variety show, she tires of having to play-act to draw viewers’ attention, when all she wants to do is sing.

She also bumps into Xueli (Ann Kok), a former xinyao singer who is now a walking cautionary tale. Xueli, who is also Dawei’s first love, landed in Taiwan years ago, never made it big and has been reduced to singing at a steakhouse.

But her unhappiness has a way of fading, or being transformed, when she sings Mavis Hee’s I Know And Yet.

And in flashbacks to Yiwei and Chufan’s youth, in the innocent years before the business grew prominent, the music shines: a wealth of xinyao, intimately performed by actors including Bonnie Loo, back when the characters had nothing and yet everything.

“OMG! Rui En is soooo pretty! @friend Go watch!!”

“OMG! Why?” “Really!?”

“OMG! Rui En’s so nice! She’s so pretty!”

Surely, you have said something similar this week? Who could resist our goddess Rui En??? Not us..

First up, The Dream Makers 2!

Admit it. We are all watching “The Dream Makers 2” for Rui En.

Yes, Fang Tonglin returns! Yay!

The Queen has arrived and here’s a fitting trailer!

Next up, “If only I could…”

Beyond the initial reactions that there’s no “Ruivin” and Rui En attempting an Auntie role for the first time, you might realise that Rui En is quite humourous, as observed in her interview with Toggle.

Don’t believe it? Click video and see it for yourself!

This is the first time Rui En dons a fat suit and appears bare face with dishevelled hair to play a long-suffering wife of Andie Chen (on-screen).

这是瑞恩首次扮演安娣，黄脸婆大肚婆造型，瑞恩乐在其中。

“试造型时觉得还ok，不过看到照片时是有震撼到，哈，好多人都认不出我，我觉得挺成功的。这些小小细节都会让角色活起来。”

在戏里，瑞恩和陈邦鋆饰演夫妻。

She tip-toed.

She spoke louder.

Just so we fans at the back could hear her.

Lost count of the number of times she said “thank you” in that 5 seconds, before she was ushered away.

Thanks, Rui En.

When Rui En says she’s happy to see us, she really means it.

Twice, she walked over to our area specially just to take a photo with us.

So this is what it looks like, when you have a dozen cameras and microphones in front of you.
