陈罗密欧在新传媒熬了三年终于有出头天，不但在新剧《骤变》里首次担任第一男主角饰演瑞恩男友，也能和瑞恩一起飞到澳大利亚谈情说爱。

“瑞恩有好笑和疯狂的一面”

他昨天在该剧的记者会上兴奋地透露，将和瑞恩一起下个月到澳大利亚的塔斯马尼亚拍摄外景：“在戏里，我和瑞恩都是律师，在塔斯马尼亚偶然相遇并成为情侣。塔斯马尼亚下个月是冬天，白天较短，因此我期待每天能提早收工，晚上出去玩。”

第一次和“冰美人”瑞恩合作，陈罗密欧坦言心理会感到有点压力：“我和瑞恩本来不熟，加上她又是我的前辈，有很丰富的演戏经验，这些让我感到有点压力。不过私底下聊天后，我发现她其实没有像大家说的那么冷，她也有好笑和疯狂的一面。”

瑞恩不接亲热戏在业界广为人知。问陈罗密欧要如何与她谈情说爱，他说：“我们在戏里有牵手，不过我会等她先采取主动，我才做下一个反应。”

法庭剧一向都是观众喜爱的剧种之一。《骤变》讲述一群律师和他们官司的故事。剧里的题材取自现实生活，有经理人强迫女明星接客案、借精产子乌龙案、儿子争夺父亲财产案等，相信能引起观众共鸣。

Don’t be surprised if you spot Rui En sitting at a kopitiam, dressed in her T-shirt, shorts and slippers.

It’s normal, says the MediaCorp actress. For Rui En, being natural and comfortable is the key to self-confidence.

“I think I look best wearing shorts, T-shirt and slippers in the kopitiam,” laughed Rui En.

“At the end of the day after filming, you just want to change out of the clothes and be comfortable. So that’s my day-to-day style and the most natural side of me.”

She is also perfectly comfortable with showing her bare face as she shared that she usually puts minimal make-up, even during work.

“Even on-screen, I don’t wear foundation and I just apply make-up base, concealer and powder. In some shows especially, like the upcoming Dream Makers where I’m playing a director, I’m practically showing my barest face.”

Rui En joins the ranks of international stars such as Gong Li and Fan Bing Bing to become the latest face for L’Oréal’s Youth Code. At a promotional event at Ngee Ann City yesterday, the star told xinmsn in an interview that fate landed her this endorsement deal.

“I actually like to experiment with a lot of skincare, and I happened to pick up Youth Code just as L’Oréal approached me.”

This is also Rui En’s first endorsement in four years. Admitting that she has always been rather picky about her endorsements, Rui En explained that she needs to believe in the product before taking up the deal.

“I don’t want to do it for the sake of money or just for the sake of doing it. I don’t want to feel like it’s a sham or promote something that I don’t even believe in.”

When asked about the remuneration, Rui En cleverly avoided the question with a simple reply, “Let me just say that they have been very sincere.”

However, the actress who is known for her devotion to charity work added that she would like to put the money to good use by giving back to society. Helping children from the lower income families is something that is especially “close to her heart”.

“Kids don’t get to choose whether they are born with a silver spoon or not. There are actually a lot of low income families in Singapore, and most of us who are living comfortably are not aware of it.”

Speaking of her notable style transformation over the years, the ‘ice queen’ explained that she “was a girl and became a woman”.

“I think it’s a natural phase of growing up. The tomboy part and wearing shorts, T-shirt and slippers aspect of me will always be there, but I guess when you grow up, you realise there are pretty things out there, so why not wear them?”

The eyes are the windows to one’s soul, and to Rui En, that’s very true. When asked which part of her body is she most confident of, the actress highlighted that she likes her eyes best because she expresses emotions through them.

“Human beings’ eyes are very interesting because you see a lot from a person’s eyes and that’s how you get to know him or her.”

The tough girl may appear all confident, but she has had her fair share of insecurities as well.

“I did go through a period of time when I felt confused and thought how come I didn’t look like those girls on TV and why isn’t my skin as fair as them etc.” However, the actress has come to accept herself for who she really is and is comfortable in her own skin.

2013 is proving to be a good year for the local actress, with her second Best Actress win at the recent Star Awards and the new endorsement. Given her success in her career, is there anything that she feels missing in her life?

Giving a rather unexpected reply, Rui En answered, “Pets!”

“I’m taking care of my grandma and she’s really afraid of animals, but I would love to have a dog and 20 cats.

Other than that, the 32-year-old said that she enjoys being in solitude and her life is “pretty much complete”.

“I’m not a fan of the idea that you need someone or something to make you feel whole. I think you should be complete yourself first,” she added.

SYNOPSIS

About The Dream Makers:

Life is like a show and a show is like a replay of life. The goggle box that is called a television set telecasts gripping drama serials on a daily basis. Isn’t everyone’s life like a show? Who does not fight and struggle between work and family? Who is not affected by the various stages in life and vicissitudes of life? The seemingly splendid life everybody leads in fact hides a life of loneliness. Friends may be many but buddies are few. In the “City of Media”, everyone has his life story. Everyone is a scriptwriter and a producer. How one’s story should end lies in one’s hands…

Helmed by Caldecott’s four ‘Ah Jies’, Zoe Tay, Chen Li Ping, Rui En and Jeanette Aw, The Dream Makers is MediaCorp’s first ever attempt at an exposé (albeit exaggerated) of the local entertainment scene. Also stars Chen Han Wei, Qi Yuwu, Shaun Chen, Guo Liang, Rebecca Lim, Desmond Tan, Ian Fang and Jayley Woo.

He hasn’t been very active in the local showbiz scene for the past seven years.

So it took many by surprise when Malaysia-based Singaporean actor Aaron Aziz beat Channel 8’s biggest stars like Fann Wong, Jeanette Aw and Rui En for the title of Singapore’s Most Popular Actor at the inaugural Social Media Awards held at Marina Bay Sands last Friday.

But nobody was more stunned than Aaron himself.

He said: “How could I possibly win on the Singapore front since I haven’t been active in Singapore for quite a while?”

His score could be attributed to his solid online fanbase.

Ever since Singapore-based label Zardozë entered the fashion scene in 2011, all eyes have been on them. The brand has since gone on to recruit 2011 Star Creation winner Chen Zhigang as lead designer, as well as Parsons graduate and reality show The Apartment participant John Paul Rangel as Creative Director.

The Zardozë Panthea line is marketed as the high-fashion sister to the brand’s ready-to-wear line, so there was an instantaneous change in mood and design when the runway switched up for the Panthea show.

We say kudos to the designers for coming up with daring and sometimes provocative creations (like the red and black dress below). The painstaking embroidery and embellishments which have become a brand signature really stood out on the runway.

However, as these gowns are obviously meant for red carpet appearances and gala dinners, the brand still has room to develop its knowledge about what sort of cuts and fabrics will find favour with their desired clientele.

That said, we do think that famous front-row attendees Rui En and Fann Wong did look every inch the Caldecott princesses they are, decked out in custom Zardozë creations. Designs fit for Singapore acting royalty, we say.

You can have your cake and eat it too; these individuals are the living proof of it.

Entertainers don’t exactly need a degree in their line of work, but these celebrities didn’t let that get in the way of them completing a degree.

While some of them were discovered through talent contests while in university, others managed to earn their certificates while managing an already blossoming career.

Other celebrities were also able to excel in both fields.

Here we take a look at some who managed to accomplish it all.

Rui En

She graduated with a Bachelor of Business from NTU, specialising in Banking and Finance.

今年再度成为红星大奖[视后]的瑞恩，接受本报记者专访时，承认以前很自卑，常自问为什么那么[男人婆]，直到近年心境比较平静，她[不想跟自己打架了。]瑞恩终于接受自己，也了解女人有自信，就是美丽的。

有“冰山公主”封号的新传媒花旦瑞恩在荧幕上的形象总是酷酷的，不苟言笑，私底下她却相当平易近人。拍照当天，艳阳高照，天气炎热，当摄影师要求到户外的顶楼拍照，她并没有拒绝，拍照时还脱下高跟鞋，赤脚走路摆pose，敬业态度让人印象深刻。

瑞恩相隔4年后最近再接广告，与法国化妆品牌L’Oreal合作，和巩俐、李冰冰和范冰冰等国际女性一同成为Youth Code护肤品代言人。

不想说谎，推掉不少广告

过去几年，瑞恩虽然在本地戏剧收视率有相当号召力，奇怪的是她却几乎没有什么广告代言。和瑞恩进行专访时，记者问她原因何在，她坦诚在过去4年的确推掉了不少广告机会，因为自己“不想说谎，为没有把握的产品代言。”

瑞恩透露在L’Oreal推出相关产品时，她曾买来用，发现效果很好，所以当对方要找她代言时，瑞恩感觉彼此有一种缘分。她说：“厂商也非常有诚意，会特地了解我对护肤的看法，尽量把我的意见融入宣传。”

能接纳自己的女人‘最美’

能代言国际化妆产品不是美丽女星就是名模，瑞恩是否觉得自己已经挤入“美女俱乐部”呢？

她坦言不觉得自己美丽：“以前我会认为自己和韩星相差很远，感到很自卑，一直问自己为什么那么男人婆，心里很挣扎。直到三四年前，我的心境变得比较平静，不想跟自己打架了。我终于接受自己，全世界只有一个瑞恩，我是独一无二的。只有女人有自信没，能接纳自己的一切，她就是美丽的。”直爽和酷酷的语气，道尽她近几年的蜕变。

难怪这几年瑞恩出席红星大奖，选择的礼服比较有女人味。对此，她说：“可能我已经长大了。我20多岁时不喜欢太小女生的东西，现在我会在适合场合扮美，因为没有理由不穿戴这些服饰。不过，喜欢穿短裤和拖鞋的瑞恩依然存在。”

贸然赴台发展，事业最低潮

入行13年，瑞恩出过两张专辑，曾和周杰伦拍过MV，8次获红星“十大最受欢迎女艺人”奖，两次获红星“最佳女主角”奖，交出了漂亮的事业成绩单。

问瑞恩演艺事业最低潮是什么时候，她想了一想平静回答：“应该是我出第一张专辑的时候。我当时没有准备好，加上中文不行，就到台湾发展。我对当地娱乐圈一无所知，好像跳进大海，被水淹着，喘不过气又捉不到东西。”

她坦言从台湾回国后，自己患上忧郁症，情绪很不好，过了一段很长的时间后，才慢慢走出谷底。

访问前，记者准备了一些“大胆”的敏感问题，本以为瑞恩会拒绝回答，不料她却问无不答。

证明不用扮性感，也能成功

曾有记者批评她戏路偏窄，所演的角色大多数都是有个性的冷角色，而且她不碰亲热戏，限制演出空间，造成角色容易重复。针对这些批评，瑞恩脸上没有不悦，冷静回应：“我在《我在你左右》饰演一个哭哭啼啼的寡妇，在《乐在双城》饰演一个拜金女，这些角色和《最火搭档2》不一样。我觉得那些报道有点主观，不能代表很多人的认同。

“至于不接亲热戏，我因此付出代价了。我推掉非常多的机会，甚至放弃接演一些区域性的制作，之前新传媒也不让我演一些重要角色，所有的监制都认为我难搞，不过后来还是证明本地观众是成熟的，我不用扮性感露肉也能成功。我认为不适合的戏就不要拍，这和产品代言一样，加入没有百分百的把握，就不要耽误制作过程。”

记者问瑞恩想尝试什么角色，她微笑说：“我想尝试喜剧。其实我对那些没演过的角色都感兴趣。假如有一天叫我演大婶或妈妈，我也能接受，因为这是女人一个自然的成长过程，是另一个阶段和心态。我愿意去揣摩这类角色。”

自认生活闷，不怕被爆料

众所周知，瑞恩有一批非常支持她的粉丝，一旦出现关于她的负面报道，这些粉丝便会在网上发声明或写信投诉。对于粉丝的举动，瑞恩说：“我很感激他们的支持。他们看到不公平的报道当然会生气，想为我打抱不平，我可以理解他们的出发点。我无法控制他们的行为，不过我希望他们会有分寸。”

身为公众人物，瑞恩是如何保持隐私呢？瑞恩直言不觉得保持隐私很困难，她活得很自在舒服，因为自认生活很闷，没有什么精彩的东西可以让媒体去挖掘：“我不喜欢掩饰自己，无聊时脸一黑就曾被人讲过，因为我真的装不出来。很多人说我不适合演艺圈，不过我认为这圈子需要各种各样的艺人，大家应该用开放的态度包容一切。

“我的生活很无趣，媒体没有什么料好爆，所以应该说，我适合当艺人。” 言毕，她脸上泛出一丝浅浅笑容。

Power Up Your Beauty Regime

The Secret Revealed

L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Boosting Essence is a revolutionary breakthrough inspired by 10 years of gene research.

Powered by Pro-Gen Technology, Youth Code Boosting Essence increases the expression of recovery genes involved in cell renewal.

Rui En’s Secret

What’s your daily skin care regime like?

First, I use two types of makeup removers – one for lips and eyes, and one for the face. I follow this up with a cleanser, toner, L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Boosting Essence, serum and moisturiser. I also apply sunscreen, which is a must for the day.

Tell us about your experience using L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Boosting Essence.

I am a skin care junkie so when I saw the product during one of my shopping trips, I decided to give it a try. After adding it to my regime, my skin looked more radiant. Plus, since it helps with skin absorption, my other products seem to work better. Due to my long working hours, my skin tends to get dehydrated. But after using the essence, I no longer have that problem.

Any special tips on using L’Oreal Paris Youth Code Boosting Essence?

The essence is so light so all I have to do is to gently pat it in. One trick I have is to use just a few drops of it before applying a facial mask.

Do you have any beauty secrets to share?

I am a firm believer of using facial masks every day! I also drink lots of water to ensure I am properly hydrated at all times.
