击败视帝视后、阿哥阿姐、公主小生，瑞恩荣升收视女王，是电视上最吸睛的演员！

继在去年8月播出的《最火搭档》中饰演英姿飒爽的女警探后，瑞恩在前天首播的《乐在双城》一改本尊的冷酷严肃形象，饰演刁蛮但可爱讨喜的公主型女生。

“瑞（锐）”不可挡的她，开年第一部作品《乐》，首集收视就取得过百万收看人数，再度奠定她本地收视女王的荣衔。《乐》的首集收看人数达101万6000人，成绩更胜今年第一部9点档电视剧《喜事年年》，《喜》首集吸引约90万人收看。

破百万收视

电视剧收视率是深奥的学问，但据8频道中文节目与宣传企划部副总裁陈国明曾简单解释，“一般表现不错的戏剧能达到85到90万人左右的收视水平，95万人以上已属可以’开香槟’庆祝的水平。”。

瑞恩去年的3部作品《过好年》、《最火搭档》和《我在你左右》首集的收看人数分别是98万1000、96万1000及92万3000，名列2010年9点档首集收视的四强。

现在《乐》创破百万的收视，瑞恩可谓突破自己。但，可惜，她和白薇秀两大公主出击，首集收视却不抵欧萱及刘子绚去年合作的《红白喜事》的103万6000人。

但，若以剧集总收视来看，瑞恩的《过》、《最》和《我》都在去年9点档的总收视四强，其中《我》吸引平均96万9000人收看，打败《红》的93万7000人，是全年之冠。

因此，根据数字显示，瑞恩的电视作品都有收视保证。

不敢独领功劳

从酷公主变收视女王，瑞恩抗议：“（我）公主也不是，女王也不是！都是你们的错，都是媒体讲的！”

希望自己能谦虚敬业，不被数字冲昏头的她表示，只是做好本分，“收视还要看故事、演员的默契、演员的演技等整体的结合”，不敢因为自己是女主角而独领功劳。

但，比较奖项，瑞恩为收视的肯定高兴，因为那是观众最直接的反应，“奖项有时会牵涉其他因素，你知道的啦……”，言下之意，似指自己不是新传媒的“亲生女”，因此或许影响得奖机会。

至于自己的吸睛力，新科“收视女王”不否认接下来会有收视压力，但说“女王也有脆弱的时候”，只希望自己能做到让更多人欣赏演技。

来自台湾的个性女生庞蕾馨，去年初被新传媒星探相中，签约受器重，在首部电视剧《乐在双城》中担正，与瑞恩及白薇秀尬戏。

她饰演性格保守、渴望爱情的林乐，没有主见和自信，但结识了另外两位女主人翁后，个性起了180度的转变。

至于和两位当家花旦合作，庞蕾馨开心表示：”她们个性截然不同，但是人都非常好。”

她形容，白薇秀比较活泼，可以聊的范围比较大，而瑞恩则比较静，但也很关心她。庞蕾馨表示：”例如早上没有吃，她就会丢面包给你，就是很帅气，很照顾我。”

《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。

SINGAPORE: Romantic drama “A Tale of 2 Cities” is off to a brilliant start after attracting more than a million viewers when it debuted on Valentine’s Day.

According to figures from MediaCorp, the ratings for the drama’s debut episode is the highest among the recent crop of high profile Mandarin dramas on Channel 8, such as the blockbuster drama “Breakout” and crime thriller “Unriddle”.

“A Tale of 2 Cities”, which revolves around the lives and loves of four odd couples, even managed to beat last year’s overall ratings champ, the supernatural family drama “With You”.

“With You” garnered 923,000 viewers when it debuted at the same 9pm time slot compared to the debut episode of “A Tale of 2 Cities”, which drew a whopping 1,016,000 viewers.

“A Tale of 2 Cities” executive producer Paul Yuen attributed the successful debut of the show to its believable story setting and of course, the hard work of its cast.

“I wanted to create something different with this drama. We used different editing techniques and made sure Singaporeans can relate to the story.

“One aspect of this drama’s storyline for example is how families think about money and happiness. I didn’t want it to be too burdensome with themes like revenge or whatever,” Yuen explained to channelnewsasia.com.

“The cast was also very willing to challenge themselves by playing roles that they have never done before and did not worry about hurting their public image,” he said.

Yuen cited how Rui En took great pains to play the spoiled, ultra-feminine rich girl Zhang Ya Le, who falls from grace and has to struggle to find happiness in the show, as a good example of the cast’s willingness to try new things.

It may have been hard work for Rui En, but the positive reception the show’s debut episode received makes it all worthwhile.

“As long as I can entertain my audience, any sacrifice is worth it. Including the awful gel manicures,” Rui En told channelnewsasia.com.

“I am very surprised and happy [the show debuted well]. I didn’t expect that a ditzy ‘princess’ would be such a draw.”

Yuen had also praised Joanne Peh for daring to discard her good-girl image and play Pan Le Yao, a sexy, materialistic man-eater with a wicked sense of humour.

However, Peh’s fans will have to wait for Tuesday night’s episode of “A Tale of Two Cities”, when her character debuts at 9pm, to see that different side of her.

随着谢宛谕、陈靓瑄、姚懿珊离开新传媒，以及刘子绚签约新的经纪公司放慢演艺事业的脚步，有一些报道就说“7公主时代”已经结束，目前最活跃于新传媒戏剧作品的只有瑞、白薇秀和欧萱。

瑞恩和白薇秀恰巧都在目前播映的8频道 新剧《乐在双城》首次合作，而且都饰演“公主型”的都市女子。

迈入“后公主时代”，瑞恩庆幸从公主的框框“解脱”，白薇秀则笑说人们总会找其他方式把艺人拿来比较。

瑞恩上星期四在《乐在双城》上受访时被问起“7公主时代”的结束时笑说：“早就
结束了啦！”

她表示，媒体不再关注这个称号，让她轻松不少：“少了一些人，大家也不会把我们
7个拿来做比较，也没有了公主这个‘框框’，我们3个就能专心把各自的工作做好。”

其实，瑞恩曾向本报表示并不喜欢这样的称号，但“公主时代”因为有人离巢才终结，让她感到意外：“没有人意料到事情会有这样的转变，但是在这一行久了，渐渐明白
很多事情往往都会出乎意料之外。”

瑞恩: 不会夺视后

瑞恩在《乐在双城》中有诙谐的演出，尤其是不少与朱咪咪斗气的戏，与她近年不少严肃的角色有所不同。

记者就表示，这似乎呼应她在首部电视剧《考试家族》中轻松幽默的演出。

刚好《考试家族》日前在星期六早上重播，让她直呼：“我知道，可是我不敢看那
是我的第一部剧，华语好差但很高兴当时能演唱插曲《考验 》，是一首旋律很棒的歌曲。”

从2002年的第一部剧到目前在拍摄的《麻婆斗妇》，瑞恩再度表示，娱乐圈世事
难料：“当时是要克服语言问题，7公主时代我最不被看好、被批评最多，到去年终于觉得自己的表现还好，真的是需要时间适应。”

瑞恩给自己去年的表现打上“还好”的评分，但表现其实不俗，《我在你左右》是年
度收视冠军，她也凭此剧首次入围《红星大奖》的“最佳女主角”。

她笑说之前跟朋友打赌不会入围《红星大奖》，结果输了一餐饭，随后再次打赌自
己不会得奖：“我看好陈莉萍姐，因为我们一起演出《最火搭档》，大家拍得很辛
苦，她的表现也很好，所以我支持她。”

要从港星身上“偷师”

瑞恩接连两部戏都与香港资深女星合作，《乐在双城》有朱咪咪，拍摄中的《麻婆斗妇》则有李司棋。

能与前辈一起演戏，瑞恩笑说：“这几个月我很幸福，因为能跟她们偷师。拍《乐在
双城》时，我向咪咪姐了解香港电视台的工作方式，因为很想知道其他国家拍戏的方法和节奏跟新加坡有什么不同。”

她半开玩笑、 半埋怨地说，至今还没有与李司棋有对手戏“《麻婆斗妇》拍了差
不多一个月，但我还没有机会跟她演戏。在开拍之前，我就听说她非常专业，所以很期待从她身上学到一些东西。”

For the first time in her acting career, Rui En sheds her icy cool image and takes on all things girly – from manicures to frilly pink dresses and skirts – for her new role as Zhang Ya Le in A Tale of 2 Cities.

You’d think this is a good break from her previous acting roles such as tough cop in Unriddle but the spunky actress claimed otherwise during the drama press conference.

Dressed in her usual black and white attire, paired with spiky bracelets and gladiators, the Nanyang Technological University business graduate exclaimed, “Before I was filming this drama, I was doing Unriddle and it was so strenuous! But during [A Tale of 2 Cities], I told [my executive producer], Paul, that I rather go back to the forest to find dead bodies, get injured fighting than do this because this girly role is really very tough to act.”

Taking care of my looks is so tiring! I do a lot of things for the first time like gel manicures so this experience really is an eye-opener for me”, she said.

Rui En plays ditzy character, Zhang Yao Le, who leads the life of a princess until she fritters all her inheritance away. When her family bridal business ends up in the red, she turns to her aunt, Jinfeng, who handles “Blissful Moments” in Singapore, another bridal business that her late mum invested in. Ya Le’s well-meaning aunt refuses to buy over her shares in the business and forces her to work in “Blissful Moments”. Will sparks fly between her and Jinfeng’s adopted son / in-house photographer, Lin Wentao?

One of 4 girls in A Tale of 2 Cities, Rui En’s 360 degree transformation is bound to tickle funny bones this coming Valentine’s Day alongside Joanne Peh (Pan Le Yao) and newcomers, Kate Pang (Lin Le) and Julie Tan (Pan Le Xuan), in their journey to find true love.

Asked if she’s more open to watching romantic comedies now, Rui En laughed out loud and said, “I’m more open lah. I mean I do believe as an actress, I can’t only watch the things I want to watch. I gotta watch stuff that most people like. Even though it’s a bit old school, I feel that Meg Ryan… she’s like the best at romantic comedies so actually, I watch a lot of her.”

A Tale of 2 Cities airs Feb 14, on Channel 8 at 9pm.
