Art mirrors life in The Dream Makers

By Mervin Tay

Local actress Rui En (seated second from left) sharing a jovial moment with fellow actress Chen Liping as actors Qi Yiwu, Chen Hanwei, Zoe Tay and Jeanette Aw look on during the press conference for their upcoming television drama, titled The Dream Makers.

Reel life mirrored real life on the set of Channel 8’s new blockbuster drama The Dream Makers.

And it surprised MediaCorp actress Chen Liping with how blurred the line between make-believe and reality can be.

In the showbiz-theme drama, which premieres today at 9pm, she plays a senior executive heading the drama division of a television station.

The drama also stars Zoe Tay, Rui En, Jeanette Aw, Qi Yuwu and Shaun Chen.

Chen, 47, recently mentioned two scenes in the 30-episode drama that were uncannily real.

In one, a memorial service is held for one of the characters who died.

“One week after filming that scene, we were observing a moment’s silence for Huang Wenyong at Star Awards Show 1,” she said, referring to the veteran MediaCorp actor who died in late April.

Chen then launched into an anecdote about China-born MediaCorp actor Qi, who plays a director in The Dream Makers.

“In it, Yuwu is romantically involved with Jeanette and Rui En”, she said.

“In real life, he fell in love with (MediaCorp actress) Joanne Peh. We only have three princesses left and he romanced all of them!”

Chen was referring to the term “seven princesses”, coined by the local Chinese media around 2006.

It was used to describe seven young and popular MediaCorp actresses – Dawn Yeoh, Felicia Chin, Fiona Xie, Jesseca Liu, Aw, Peh and Rui En.

Today, only Aw, Peh and Rui En remained as full-time actresses.

But Chen said the parallels between fiction and reality did not stop there.

Aw and Qi play a couple in the drama, and after they break up, Rui En’s character falls in love with Qi’s character.

“As we all know, in reality, Joanne got together with Yuwu after breaking up with her ex-boyfriend,” said Chen with a laugh.

烟雾情况持续恶化，新传媒戏剧与综艺节目取消外景，改到摄影棚拍摄！

由于烟雾污情况日益恶染指数创新高，据了解，好些艺人出现眼睛干涩、喉咙不适等症状，据最新消息，新传媒戏剧与综艺组已取消外景拍摄，改到摄影棚取景。

除了局限在室内拍摄，剧组也为艺人与员工配备口罩，以保安全！

新传媒中文频道品牌与宣传副总裁陈国明大前日受访，证实此事，他说：“有关公路上的戏份已取消不拍（受影响的剧集有哪几部？）已确定的是《骤变》（演员有陈罗密欧、林慧玲、张震寰、瑞恩、方伟杰）和《小小传奇》（陈欣淇、吴劲威、徐彬、王禄江、许雅慧等）2部戏。”

陈国明透露，由于烟雾弥漫，情况恶劣，拍摄工作一切以新传媒员工的健康为首要考量，戏剧组这个星期的拍摄或转为室内拍摄，甚至挪后开拍。

尽管烟雾情况恶劣，但，陈国明透露，至今尚未出现艺人被烟雾击败的状况。

The well-loved MediaCorp actress thinks that it is part and parcel of being an actress to go through hardship

Before Rui En got to where she is today, the award-winning and widely popular actress received her fair share of bullying and scolding from directors and producers during her rookie days in showbiz. Looking back on her salad days, the MediaCorp actress is thankful that she had to go through those tumultuous times which has in turn, motivated her to prove her worth.

While speaking to xinmsn at the press conference of upcoming Ch8 blockbuster drama The Dream Makers, Rui En recalled the immense pressure she had to face during her debut – going to great lengths to memorise her lines due to her weak Chinese language skills.

Although The Dream Makers highlights the power struggle among the stars and office politics amongst the higher management in the TV station, the Ice Princess emphasised that the local entertainment industry is not as complicated and sensationalised as the drama portrays it to be. That said, Rui En admitted that she had her share of hardship too.

Even after 11 years in the industry, the actress still remembers the long waiting time she had to endure in her debut drama No Problem!, due to her “newbie” status back then. According to Rui En, the director would finish filming all the scenes with the leading actors before moving on to hers.

Speaking from experience, Rui En said that it is essential for an actor to experience adversity before he can grow to become a good artiste.

“You get to learn many things by starting from the ‘calefare’ and small roles. Only when you go through the journey, would you improve and perform better,” she explained. “Nowadays, the new actors are able to land leading roles shortly after joining the industry. They might not have the chance to pick up what they should learn.”

In a separate interview, veteran actress Chen Liping shared that her hardworking juniors, including Jeanette Aw and Rui En, inspire her to continue acting. “I believe everyone can see Rui En’s efforts and growth in the past few years. Her success didn’t come easy,” she said.

At the press conference, Queen of Caldecott Hill, Zoe Tay, and local Ah Ge Chen Hanwei spoke of the new generation of actors and their poor working attitude and lack of respect for their seniors.

So, what advice does Rui En have for her peers and the up-and-coming stars?

“Be yourself and be real. Don’t do something just because people expect you to. In the end, you’d feel like you’ve betrayed yourself and you’ll be the one regretting it,” replied the actress, with her ever-cool attitude.

Also hailed as the Queen of Ratings, Rui En is currently filming another upcoming series Sudden, which is centred around the lives of lawyers. The 32-year-old joked that her “Chinese would improve significantly after this”, thanks to the lengthy and sophisticated terms used by her character in the drama.

The Dream Makers stars Zoe Tay, Chen Liping, Rui En, Jeanette Aw, Qi Yuwu, Shaun Chen, Chen Hanwei, Guo Liang, Richard Low, May Phua, Rebecca Lim, Desmond Tan, Ian Fang and Jayley Woo. Catch it when it airs every Monday to Friday at 9pm on Ch8, starting June 24.
