天王身价的周董向所有喜欢音乐的朋友们打暗号,友情跨刀现身拍广告推荐小师妹芮恩Ruien,在新人芮恩发片前为她注入一剂强心针;从一开始芮恩进入阿尔发唱片录音起,就受到大师兄的提拔,宠爱,不但邀请她当”暗号”MV女主角,拍Panasonic GD68手机广告之外,周杰伦更对这位小师妹的音乐赞赏有嘉,主动为她量身打造一首歌曲;发片近在眉梢时,杰伦还特别在百忙之中站出来,一下飞机就赶到拍摄现场,自编自演,自己设计一出广告,以周杰伦的方式向大家”打暗号”,推荐芮恩Ruien最新国语专辑.

周杰伦说这支广告是以酷中带了一点神秘的调性,把芮恩的音乐特色表现来,内容叙述周杰伦带着学弟,朋友三人在一家咖啡厅,看到了芮恩对她议论纷纷,不过三人不敢有所行动,离开时才回头小声说:”不错喔!”;时下唱片圈新人辈出,周杰伦平常也很注意国语歌坛的动向,尤其是像芮恩这样有特色的艺人, 和他一样唱歌咬字不清的,反而可以把人声变成一种乐器演奏,听起来更有味道;而芮恩专辑里丰富的音乐性,也让杰伦赞赏,特别为他写了一首融合中国风+日本风的歌”白色羽毛”推荐给大家.

许多人唱抒情歌,R&B,摇滚歌曲,芮恩的嗓音唱起来少了激情嘶吼的浮动,却多了一股音律流畅,咬字不清,恣意放纵的特色就成了运转音符的最大助力,让人听起来清新舒服,比起一般歌手来说,杰伦觉得芮恩的爆发力来自自然,不做作的嗓音,芮恩可以表现这么多种截然不同的曲风,也让杰伦十分欣赏,看好她未来的表现,大力提拔她,希望能为乐坛注入一股新潮流.

芮恩很感谢大师兄鼎力相助,拍MV,广告几次的相处合作以后,她觉得这位大师兄不但人很亲切,很会带人,还很喜欢帮人家做设计,从穿着,服装,化妆,发型给芮恩许多建议,连这次拍广告两位演员的造型服装,也是出自杰伦的意见,有机会的话杰伦还想发挥他的创意,帮芮恩从头到脚打扮一下.

Showtime & Lifestyle

After a two-year hiatus, Channel i is again offering local dramas, starting with Perceptions. JEANMARIE TAN talks to its stars, Eelyn Kok and Steph Song, about potentially career-changing roles.

Whatever the case, Steph is ‘curious’ to see how the second season of Achar will turn out, now that singer/actress Lu Rui En is rumoured to be taking over her role.

She said: ‘It should be an exciting opportunity for (Rui En). And frankly, Achar was a good show and deserves to keep going.’

ONE concert, so many famous faces: It looks irresistible.

Local stars Sheik Haikel, Tanya Chua, Rui En and Ben Yeung will team up with Hong Kong actor/singer Julian Cheung, Anita Mui protege Remus Choy, Taiwan’s B.A.D. and British newbie Derek McDonald, all at Youth Concert @ South East 2004, organised by the Southeast CDC.

But there’s a catch.

The singers have volunteered their services, the whole event has been arranged by volunteers – and the audience will be asked to step up and volunteer too.

The celebrities are more than happy to help, too.

Rui En, who sang the Community Chest theme song last year, said: ‘I’m quite pleased to play a part and get young people to do charity work.’

She will be performing three songs at the concert.

Tickets are $2 each and all proceeds will go to the Metta School, Goodlife Centre @ South East and The Salvation Army Bedok Multiservice for the Elderly.

JUST how bright are our Singaporean stars shining in Taiwan?

Here’s Mr Suen’s brutally-honest appraisal:

Rui En

‘She’s almost disappeared in Taiwan. Oh, she’s filming dramas in Singapore? Well she should just continue doing that! To be an artiste, you must have audience appeal. She lacks that.’
