His name was everywhere in the last 2 Star Awards but no where to be seen in this year’s Star Awards nominations inlcuding the online list… Some fans already ’cry father cry mother’ about why he wasn’t in the ‘Best Actor’ category and even speculated that he could jolly well be ’frozen’ by the company or he ‘offended’ somebody up there…which I am telling you right now that all these speculations are pure rubbish. In every award show, there’ll always be winners and losers. If you don’t do so well this time, just work harder next year…and one day, your hard work will pay off (Rui En worked for 10 years before her first nomination this year)…

Breakout Stars

Elvin Ng starred in two of the top 10 Channel 8 dramas lst year while Rui En acted in three. Are they the new King and Queen of Caldecott Hill?

Top of the Hill

The recently released llist of Top 10 Channel 8 dramas shows there is a new crop of talent ready to take over Caldecott Hill.

By Rachael Boon

And the Top 10 Channel 8 dramas for 2010 are ….

Have a look at the list featured on these pages and many will wonder: Where are the names of Singapore TV’s enduring dynamic duo, Fann Wong and Zoe Tay?

The Queens of Caldecott Hill are nowhere to be seen in the line-up of those starring in the Top 10 list.

The new queen of the Hill is the versatile Rui En, 30, who acted in three dramas which are among the top five Channel 8 shows. She starred in With You, Happy Family and Unriddle.

As for Fann and Tay, they did not even act in any MediaCorp dramas last year to put them in contention. Fann has been busy filming overseas and Tay was pregnant.

The last blockbuster which both of them starred in, along with the two Ah Ge Li Nanxing and Tay Ping Hui, was 2009’s The Ultimatum, which received a lukewarm response. It was criticised for being too melodramatic.

Indeed, the top 10 list runs the gamut of content, from police dramas to stories about families and light-hearted comedy.

The top 10 shows are all MediaCorp’s productions except Taiwanese drama Love.

Modest productions such as With You a supernatural-themed tearjerker, New Beginnings, which dealt with the wedding and funeral industries, and the heart-warming Happy Family, trumped the blockbuster drama Breakout.

Indeed, with Channel 8’s top 10 dramas featuring a greater variety of actors and a wide range of drama genres, it is a sign that big names and blockbusters are not needed to lure viewers.

Things are certainly different from 10 years ago, says actress Cynthia Koh, who has been in the industry since 1992. She says viewers are constantly changing and looking for something more.

The Ah Ge and Ah Jie labels also no longer matter these days because teamwork is more important in producing good dramas, she says.

Rui En is clearly on a trajectory, with a Best Actress nomination for Star Awards 2011 in her bag for her role as a widow in With You, and having acted in three top-rated drama serials in a year.

She was one of MediaCorp’s Seven Princesses – the rest of whom were Jeanette Aw, Joanne Peh, Jesseca Liu, Felicia Chin, Fiona Xie and Dawn Yeoh.

The Seven Princesses was a term coined by the Chinese press in 2006, where the seven were said to be next in line to succeed Zoe and Fann.

Until last year, Rui En had never been a crowd favourite, but with other contenders such as Xie, Chin, Yeoh and Liu leaving MediaCorp, her name has come.

Life!’s Asian TV reviewer Foong Woei Wan says Rui En is finally getting the attention she deserves.

She says: “She doesn’t do the usual Channel 8 acting. In With You, she shows that you don’t have to shout, you can whisper and still hold viewers’ attention.”

Along with the new queen comes her royal partner, Elvin Ng, with two Best Actor nominates in a row.

Actor Alan Term, who has a decade of experience and appeared in various top shows last year, says he does see Ng and Rui En as the new generation of leads.

He says, “They are already leads now so I see them as the next pillars of MediaCorp as they are doing pretty well.”

Ice queen turns nice queen

It has been a long climb to the summit, but Rui En, 30, is finally enjoying the view.

The actress, who has been in show business for more than a decade, looks set to be crowned the new queen of Caldecott Hill.

Recognition has finally come, thanks to her roles in three top-rated Channel 8 dramas – With You, Happy Family and Unriddle – and a Best Actress nomination for her role as a grieving widow in With You.

The fortunate series of events did not happen overnight for her. She is known as one of MediaCorp’s seven “princesses”, yet she says her has seen her career “progress in a backward manner”.

By this she explains that she is hardly on top of the popularity pack like the other “princesses” such as Jeanette Aw and Joanne Peh.

In an interview with LifeStyle, she says: “About what I achieved last year, in terms of ratings or anything else, I feel a lot of irony and a little bit of vindication.”

Explaining why, she says: “When this whole “seven princesses” thing was started by the Chinse press in 2006, the media would get people to compare the seven of us and there would be rankings and lists. The funny thing was that then, I was always No. 5 or No. 6.

“Just a few years ago, that was how the media and the public saw me. It was said that I was a bit too distant, the audience wouldn’t accept me, I was too aloof.”

But now, three of her shows have made it to the list of the top five Channel 8 dramas.

The supposed ice queen has since further melted viewers’ hearts with her role as the simle-minded and optimistic Xiaodong in Happy Family, which aired in January last year, She feels that it was that role which made viewers see that she could be more than an ice queen and credits this to the executive producer of Happy Family, Mr Paul Yuen, who cast her.

“For reasons that I don’t know, he decided to cast me as a girl who was simple minded to the point of being silly,” she says.

“The fact that he gave me the chance really changed viewers’ perception of me and I’m very grateful. It turned out to be one of the most comfortable roles I’ve ever played because Xiaodong was very happy and positive.”

Rui En’s hard work over the past decade has paid off. Loyal fans who have stuck with her are really being affected by her moving portrayals in tragic roles such as a widow in With You.

She says: “One auntie came up to me and said, ‘Watching your show makes me cry’. She paused and continued, ‘Actually thinking about it now, I’m going to cry already’. So I was like, ‘oh no, please don’t cry’.”

She adds: “I’m very grateful that viewers have matured to the point where they recognise you for what you are and what you stand for. The recognition I’ve got has proven that.”

瑞恩在《乐在双城》挑战千金角色，裙子、高跟鞋、水晶指甲皆具备，令她直呼痛苦不堪，美女难做！

瑞恩在《乐在双城》挑战千金角色，裙子、高跟鞋、水晶指甲皆具备，令她直呼痛苦不堪，美女难做！

热播中的新传媒8频道9点档电视剧《乐在双城》，首播当晚受到公众热烈回响，吸引超过百万人收看。

已有”收视女王”之称的瑞恩，再次做出大改变，饰演拥有”公主病”的千金小姐章雅乐，因为没有善于管理父母留下的遗产，最终沦落到新加坡投靠阿姨朱咪咪。

熟悉瑞恩的读者，应该知道她大剌剌的个性和私下打扮，与爱美如命的千金雅乐，拥有天壤之别，此角色可称是历年来与她本身差别最大的。

瑞恩日前出席《乐在双城》记者会，接受xinmsn访问时，坦言压力很大，”每部戏开拍前我都会慌张，尤其是这个，我本身的家庭背景并不富裕，真的没办法了解一个有钱人的生活方式是怎样的。”

她透露，自己把雅乐设计成一个典型的drama queen（歇斯底里的人），发生什么事情，反应都会很大。她做了很多功课，刚开拍时确实有点紧张，但越演越好玩，觉得很过瘾，开心有这样的改变。

瑞恩表示：”刚开始看剧本时，觉得为什么她（雅乐）这么讨人厌、这么刁蛮。但慢慢投入后，就了解当你出生在一个富裕家庭，其实很多东西是很理所当然的，所以不能去怪她。”

宁愿回森林找尸体

为了这部戏，瑞恩吃尽苦头，裙子、高跟鞋、水晶指甲都是当”公主”的必需品。也难怪平时爱穿短裤、T-恤和拖鞋到处走的瑞恩，会高喊：”美女真的很难做!”

瑞恩表示，平时很不喜欢打扮，来记者会这种一两个小时的活动还OK，但演《乐在双城》就特别累，有太多东西需要照顾。

她感叹：”之前是拍《最火搭档》，那时多辛苦啊，打架受伤，到偏僻的地方去拍，也都没有厕所。但刚开拍这部戏时，我就跟监制说，我宁愿回去森林找尸体。”

– 重点1：水晶指甲

瑞恩透露，她演的每个角色，都会有一样东西代表她，而指甲就代表雅乐，对她的演出很重要。为此，她第一次尝试做水晶指甲，虽然是大开眼界，但不禁抱怨烦人。

瑞恩说：”我本身指甲都是短短的，因为我要做东西，第一次去做水晶指甲，要加长、加亮片、涂粉红色，真的很麻烦，每两个礼拜都要去补，而且它会断、会裂。”

她叹息，现在的指甲变得很脆弱，容易断。

– 重点2：高跟鞋

一双拖鞋走天下的瑞恩，除了手部的折磨，双脚也不好过，因为要演一名千金，夺命高跟鞋不能少。

瑞恩说，她觉得穿高跟鞋很痛苦，无法穿一整天，所以拍了远镜头后会脱掉，换上好伙伴红色拖鞋拍其它的镜头。

不过，也因为如此，摄影人员开始给她的拖鞋取外号，还会说”噢带小红出来啊？”令她觉得很好笑。但她不忘感谢工作人员帮她很多，因为他们知道她很痛苦。

– 重点3：裙子

最后，当然也不能忘了各式各样的裙子。瑞恩习惯轻松打扮，长期穿裙子反让她觉得很不舒服。

她直言：”真的，两个半月都在穿这些裙子，里面还要穿热裤怕走光，我觉得不能呼吸，很紧啊。”

不过，瑞恩的牺牲是值得的，改变非常成功。她透露，一名摄影师已经很习惯她在《最火搭档》的角色个性，这次过来拍《乐在双城》，并不知道雅乐的个性是如此。

结果，有天在拍雅乐遇到色狼的画面时，看到瑞恩如此夸张的演出，目瞪口呆，笑到镜头在动，急忙跟大家抱歉。

怕观众看腻

瑞恩目前忙于新剧《麻婆斗妇》的拍摄，饰演委屈媳妇，与方展发再结戏缘。之前，两人在《保家卫国》演情侣，在《乐在双城》中也是一对。

早前，瑞恩和黄俊雄是不少观众心中的最佳荧幕搭档之一，这次和方展发背对背演戏，瑞恩是否期待这成为新的荧幕情侣？

瑞恩表示，压力反而更大，因为她希望可以把比较新鲜的演出呈献给观众。

“一直跟一样的人，我们就会想要如何有不同的火花，很怕观众看腻了。”

方展发也自认有压力，因为他一直很欣赏瑞恩的演出。不过，两人现在比较熟悉，合作起来也比较快了。

另外，陈莉萍与瑞恩主演的《最火搭档》深获好评，即将开拍续集，预计明年播出。

《乐在双城》每逢星期一至五，晚上9点，8频道播出。演员包括：朱咪咪、瑞恩、白薇秀、庞蕾馨、方展发、张耀栋、姚玟隆、张振寰、陈欣淇、黄文永、向云等。

《小娘惹》口碑好、平均收视破百万，却无缘拍续集，如今《最火搭档》年底拍Part 2，挺“娘惹”网民反弹浪声高！

去年由陈莉萍、瑞恩挂帅的《最火搭档》大结局播出后，有网民即于Facebook（面簿）设立网站，要求开拍续集。去年受询时，新传媒品牌与宣传副总裁陈国明表示“不希望炒同样一道菜”，故未有计划拍续集。话虽如此，他去年10月底仍在博客中“试水温”，广邀网民投票、留言。尽管超过3万网友（约62％）反对拍Part 2，认为见好就收，但也有力挺《最》观众；经过半年商讨，据悉《最2》已落实年底开拍。

昨天，陈国明于博客宣布开拍续集，但有人欢喜有人愁，固然有不少网民表示期待，但却引起《小娘惹》影迷反弹浪声。有多位网民留言说，无论收视或口碑，《小》绝对不逊于《最》，尽管当时有观众要求拍续集，最终提议却没被接纳，《小2》也就下文。这次，新传媒却听从民意，年底将拍《最火2》，再次挑起挺“娘惹”一族的不满！

要角被[赐死]难后续

《小》要角被“赐死”难有后续，故事人拍续集意愿不高。

除了《小》外，也有观众为《破天网》、《破茧而出》、《乒乓圆》等剧“请命”，但陈国明在回应网民留言时，表示《破》及《小》大多要角已被“赐死”，更重要的是，他透露
《小》故事人洪荣狄拍Part2意愿不高。

昨天受访时，陈国明表示，《最》聚集了人气、口碑和好收视，去年播出的大结局，也以open ending （开放结局）收场，让观众有“遐想”空间。为配合监制袁树伟，以及主要
演员的档期，《最2》预计年底开拍，估计明年上半年播出。

港人气剧拍续集 多亏观众‘请命’

香港无线《唐心风暴》、《巾帼枭雄》等人气剧能拍续集，多亏观众帮忙‘请命’；据悉，《最》能拍续集，观众和网民动劳也不小。

早期，为了观众心愿，新传媒曾在大结局播出一星期后，推出《小》重逢篇，但要说应民意开拍续集，这应该是头一次。

至于会否也顺民意，今年将“视后”颁给瑞恩，袁树伟表示，瑞恩今年若不得奖，“明年一定会到她”，更称赞她近来演技进步、有突破。

但他也说：“她还是有发展的空间，还没达到顶峰！但她真的很努力，拍戏也不会一板一眼跟着剧本演，跟她合作很舒服

周颖入围今年《红星大奖》“最佳女主角”，与白薇秀、瑞恩、陈莉萍等角逐视后，看来“蘑菇头”真能带给她好运，可想过留住蘑菇，留住那股旺气？她回应：“没想那么多，而且我已剪了一头短发，看上去干练、利落一点。”

对于与公主、阿姐争视后，周颖仍感觉蛮惊讶，被问到胜算，她很“保险”说：“从数学频率来看，就是20％,其实能入围已经很开心，我志在参与。”

纵观几年前“七公主”盛况已不再，经过走的走、留的留，如今“亲生公主”只有白薇秀，收视冠军公主瑞恩以及欧萱，周颖可觉得这时候正是时候成为“公主二代”？“我不注重衔头。”周颖说，她直言来到本地发展时，“公主”似乎已陆续离开，目前，她只求把工作做好。

You made it happen! Rui En and Chen Li Ping will return in Unriddle 最火搭档 2. Yes, thank you all for your marvellous feedback earlier on. It was one of the best collective efforts from all of you who wanted the return of Unriddle 最火搭档 on Channel 8 to finish the untold story…this time we will unveal the biggest conspiracy that threatens to destroy Xiao Man 胡小曼 and Da Bao 林正仪…

The Executive Producer Paul Yuen 袁树伟 and Story Planner Phang Kai Yee 彭凯毅 studied every single feedback and suggestion given in the comment’s section on my earlier blog post (click to read: http://bit.ly/fEYpJa). The story will pick up from where it ended…both Xiao Man and Da Bao characters will be fully developed. All the familiar characters in the last season will return. Many intriguing new cases will be introduced but every case is now creatively linked to the main storyline (Bravo to EP & Writer!). There will be more fighting scenes for the lead characters and a marvellous story that fully stretches the scope of the 2 roles as you requested. It is never an easy task to write a season 2 but after reading the first conceptual draft, I immediately called the EP to praise him and writer that both succeeded in creating a Part 2 that is even far more superior than Part 1! I could actually feel the great tribulations awaiting Xiao Man and Da Bao…mark my words – it is not going to be easy for both Rui En and Chen Li Ping but given their acting capabilities, I am confident both will be able to handle the extreme physical and emotional challenges.

Unriddle 最火搭档 2 is confirmed for a 2012 release. The EP & Writer have gotten the official go ahead to move into production mode…once again, thank you all for your feedback and suggestions. It is not going to be a  great season 2 without your passion and participation in the first place – coming from the bottom of my heart.
