WHEN does one plus one not equal to two?

In showbiz, it seems. Hey, we don’t mean that people can’t count. But take this case for instance.

Felicia Chin is Tay Ping Hui’s type. Ping Hui is also Felicia’s cup of tea.

But no, the MediaCorp artistes are not an item – not yet, at least.

But you would not have guessed from the way they gazed lovingly at each other on the set of new local drama Honour And Passion.

The first-time screen couple chatted, teased and made faces at each other even after the director shouted, “Cut!”.

They were filming a wedding scene alongside three other pairs – Bryan Wong and Dawn Yeoh, Rui En and Pierre Png, Huang Wenyong and Hong Huifang – for their new show which debuts in July.

Honour And Passion revolves around the lives of soldier and single father (Wenyong) and his four children (Ping Hui, Bryan, Rui En and newcomer Nat Ho).

Filming the wedding scene also brought out different sentiments about the artistes’ notions of their ideal weddings.

For instance, Rui En proclaimed that she would “elope in a T-shirt, shorts and slippers”.

She cried: “I’m not going to wear a wedding gown. I think acting has taken the surprise away from me.

“Wedding gowns are just itchy and uncomfortable.”

The 25-year-old actress is, however, comfortable with her on-screen husband Pierre Png.

“He’s such a joker. He’s intentionally and unintentionally so.”

“I’ve had to learn how to control my laughter because he keeps making me laugh,” said Rui En.

But those two weren’t the only reel lovebirds having fun.

陈凤玲、姚懿珊和芮恩3位俏新娘，竟然都走野蛮路线，喜欢虐待她们的老公——不是喜欢打人，就是喜欢捏人，还有一个喜欢用手指捅人！来听听受虐的老公们怎么向记者诉苦吧！

昨天（14日），新传媒新剧【宝家卫国】里的4对新人步入教堂结婚啦！不要看其中3位美美的新娘温柔、甜美又贤淑的样子，其实… 嘿嘿！她们都是新一代的“野蛮新娘”！请看以下示范…

野蛮新娘2号…芮恩：打人不眨眼

剧中，芮恩饰演严厉军官黄文永的女儿，是“宝家”唯一的女人。由于全家都是男人，养成她男人婆的个性，招牌动作是“出掌打人”，哥哥弟弟（郑斌辉、王禄江、鹤天赐）无一幸免。可是… 记者发现，她私底下打人似乎比拍戏时还凶！

芮恩和老公方展发是欢喜冤家，在戏外也斗个不停。方展发还透露：“她喜欢打我，我喜欢打她屁股！”却立刻引来芮恩的抗议：“乱讲！如果他真的敢打我的屁股，我会一巴掌打过去！哈哈！”

虽然方展发常被芮恩用“毒掌”伺候，但是芮恩还是有体贴的时候，例如买东西给方展发吃（虽然最后还是被芮恩吃光）。

为了拍戏披上婚纱，感觉怎么样？
“有点不适应，因为tomboy（男人婆）的装扮习惯了，突然要变成小公主，很不习惯。而且穿婚纱呼吸会有困难，很紧！”

Actress-singer Rui En, 25, kept a low profile until she started endorsing American beauty brand Olay last October. An endorsement for the Motorola Red phone followed in December and, later that month, she made it into the Star Awards’ Top 10 Most Popular Female Artistes.

Endorsement income then: A “low five-figure sum” for a single deal, says an industry insider
Current endorsements: Motorola mobile phones, Olay skin-care products
Endorsement income now: A mid five-figure sum per deal that’s “easily over $50,000”, says an insider. Wong estimates she would receive about $30,000 to $40,000 for her Olay deal alone.

As if it isn’t enough to have both brains and brawns, up-and-rising actor Elvin Ng has even acted with each and every of ‘The Seven Princesses’ on Caldecott Hill! What luck! Read on to find out what the handsome hunk thinks of these beautiful leading ladies.

Compared to Snow White, we reckon Elvin Ng is luckier. Unlike the trusting apple-lady who has seven dumpy dwarfs by her side, Elvin has seven ‘princesses’ ? gorgeous actresses in line to become the next generation of MediaCorp ‘royalty’ – twirling round his little finger. Okay, not exactly that; but eagle-eyed viewers who have been ardently following Channel 8 dramas would realise that the good-looker has had some sort of romantic relationship with five out of the seven ‘princesses’, and has appeared in the same drama as the other two. All that in just three short years.

With that in mind, we hunted down Elvin after the filming session last Tuesday (Apr 17) for upcoming 80-episode family drama Shou Zu (tentatively titled The Foothold) to quiz him about his thoughts on these pretty girls, only to be almost totally caught off guard with his shocking ?revelation?:

“Who are the seven princesses huh?” he asked, tilting his head to the left.

Upon seeing a semi-stunned look from this reporter, Elvin quickly chirped in with a smile: “No lah, I know.”

Phew. So he knows, but of course he ought to know. For the benefit of the uninitiated though, here is a look back in time to see how Elvin began his ‘Princess Hours’…

Rui En
They appeared together in: Love At 0° C (2006)

As the story goes…

Weixiang (Elvin) is secretly attracted to Yixin (Rui En), and he does everything to help her keep her dessert shop. The two eventually get together. On their wedding day, however, Weixiang realises that Yixin still likes Guobin (Julian Hee) and he decides to leave her.

Elvin says…

“She is a very independent girl who has her own way of thinking. She also has a strong personality.”
