Last year we shared news on one of our efforts to promote the appreciation and understanding of Singapore’s art development through the commission of a three-part docudrama titled, The Worlds of Georgette Chen.

On 24 April 2015, we welcomed the cast at the Gallery for a press conference on the launch of the docudrama, where attending guests were given a first look at original artwork of Georgette Chen’s Self-Portrait. The premier telecast of the docudrama was officially aired on 29 April 2015, Channel NewsAsia.

Starring MediaCorp’s award-winning actress, Rui En, as Georgette, viewers were invited to immerse themselves into the whirlwind life of Georgette Chen, starting from life in France (1927 to 1933) during the Second World War, along to her journey in Japanese-occupied China and Hong Kong (1934 to 1948), and finally in Penang and Singapore (1950 to 1980), where she made her home.

Artworks by Georgette Chen will be on display in the DBS Singapore Gallery when National Gallery Singapore opens in 2015.

Check out these exclusive behind-the-scenes sneaks of Rui En, the cast and crew in action. How well do you think Rui En embodied the role of Georgette Chen? How well do you think Rui En embodied the role of Georgette Chen? Share your thoughts with us on Facebook.

Rui En and Ralph Lee, who plays Eugene Chen, film a scene along the River Seine. Living in Paris, the River Seine was one of Georgette Chen’s many artistic inspirations. Little did she know that a painting of this river would eventually connect her with her leit motif of love, Eugene.

以电视圈人事斗争为题材的《志在四方》，扬威去年红星大奖，一举拿下视后、男女配角、最佳电视剧五大奖。唯独赛前大热门欧萱不敌陈莉萍、被陈破了视后梦，令众人扼腕…

《志在四方2》让老戏骨飙戏，捧欧萱当视后。

续集《志2》已开始为演员做造型，故事人洪汐再接下重担，直言：“我有分猪肉的压力。这是我创作25年来，最辛苦的一次。”

负责此剧的新传媒高级副总裁袁树伟也放话，老戏骨李南星、郑惠玉和黄碧仁首次同场飙戏；欧萱、瑞恩与戚玉武的感情纠葛也尚未终结，续集会再“较劲”，不会令观众失望。

他透露，欧萱在续集的戏分很多。

是否有意捧欧萱当视后，以补去年痛失大奖的缺憾？

袁树伟答说，去年《志》一剧就让欧萱、陈莉萍和瑞恩入围“最佳女主角”，对他而言，三女在剧中的表现势均力敌。　

不过，这次会给欧萱多些发挥的空间。

他说：“她这次是个悲剧人物，希望她在明年可以成功封后。”

对于3老戏骨，他也说，黄碧仁与郑惠玉同事多年，却是第一次合作。

“他们3人也没有一起同剧出现。单是这个，已是卖点了。”

至于会否出现争戏问题，他说，3人是好朋友，会互相给戏，只会在戏里恶斗而已，相信三人不会为争出位闹得不愉快。

《志2》预计6月开拍。

故事人洪汐赞有很好的发挥

《志2》的初稿已完成，故事人洪汐前天受询时透露，赵菲儿（欧萱演）的遭遇很悲惨，结局会像精神出问题的无线前女星蓝洁瑛那样。

“我不偏心，上次拿奖的，这次都没有演。当然，欧萱是很有得发挥。”

视后陈莉萍与郭亮“移民”了，所以，《志2》不会再出现；“女配角”林慧玲也没有参演。

“戏分是势均力敌。黄碧仁加入，会与郑惠玉和李南星飙演技，我的压力就来自这里，我有分’猪肉’的压力啊！”

尤其不想破坏第一辑的口碑，必须保持水准。

“创作和制作上都下更多的功夫，演员都很强，我要求自己不能顾此失彼，这是我从事创作25年来，最头痛的一次。”

至于内容，她保证，会有大家熟口熟脸的电视圈明争暗斗事件。

她笑说：“会有大家熟悉的东西，层面涉及更广。难得遇到一班这么强的演员阵容。”

1. Scene & Heard Pages 18-19

By Sarah Chang

RBKD: One page interview with Rui En where she shares about how it felt playing a real-life icon (Georgette Chen) in docudrama, The Worlds of Georgette Chen. Through this role, she finds a “stark similarity” with the artist whereby both of them are constantly trying to better their craft.

There were many first-times for Rui En in this docudrama. It’s the first time where she did not have many lines to remember; the first time she wore a cheongsam for a show; the first time she fell in love with art.

8DAYS did a special “Boos & Bravos” – The Worlds of Georgette Chen edition. They gave “Bravo” to the inspired casting and Rui En’s myraid costumes which gave the show a more authentic feel, and “Boo” for insufficient airtime for Rui En.

Catch the finale of The Worlds of Georgette Chen this Wednesday (13 May), 8pm on CNA.
