‘Together 当我们同在一起’ 40th Countdown Day & Free Gifts!

Paul on 21 Oct 2009 05:17 pm

Yes, today’s the 40th day countdown day before we get ‘Together 当我们同在一起’.  Fronting the TV trailer is Kola Zhou Ying 周颖, the Shanghainese who was a hot favorite during the initial rounds of Star Search (Andie Chen and Jerry Yeo took the No.1 and 2 spots eventually).

She made her debut as a ping-pong player in the April’s drama ‘Table of Glory 兵乓园’ with Joshua Ang and Dai Yang Tian. 

If Kola Zhou Ying can pull it off well in this drama as the 玉女, I think we will be seeing her alot even as potential leading star in many new dramas to come…

 

Check out the spot here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh0BeZp_wTY

The production team is busy wrapping up their last location shoot in Ipoh now and they will be back in Singapore from 23 October to complete the remaining scenes in Singapore by 18 November. Btw, I have scheduled the press conference on 19th November.

Are you looking around for a new calendar for 2010?

The Full Cast on Calendar Cover

DYT & JA for January

Jeanette for February

Dai Yang Tian for March

Elvin for April

And Eelyn Kok, Kola Zhou and Zhang Zhen Huan also take on other months. Sorry, this calendar isn’t for sale lah. If you are our advertisers and clients, you will probably get one before the world gets to see it. I have placed an order for a few limited editions and will distribute them together with some souvenir notebooks for free at the road show in December (like what happened at ‘The Little Nyonya’ meet and autograph’s roadshow last year).

Watch out for more news on ‘Together’….

13. Angela on 21 Oct 2009 at 9:32 pm #

    

    Dear Paul

    Thanks for all the update on TOGETHER.

    Update us more on the Roadshow once you have arranged.

    And also, will the cast of TOGETHER be involved in singing for the CNY ablums ? Shd be right? Do keep us inform too

    (Paul: Maybe…aiyah…I sing duet with Pat Mok lah…)

14. Omr on 21 Oct 2009 at 9:38 pm #

    

    I like the January and February month! Jeanette is so beautiful!

15. yahooo on 21 Oct 2009 at 9:57 pm #

    

    40 more days, really love this drama with so many young casts. The website still not available, very slow leh.

    (Paul: Maybe it’s time to do the DYT’s slap…haha)

16. Fans on 21 Oct 2009 at 10:16 pm #

    

    i cant get the calender la…i’m not living in singapore…TT

17. da on 21 Oct 2009 at 11:31 pm #

    

    Paul thank you for the update.
    Kola is really worth to be groomed further.
    From the beginning she does not try to act cute, she is just what she is and her acting, her looks, all are very pleasing to watch.

    The calendar are very nice, it’s a pity we cant buy it.
    DYT, JA, Elvin, all looks very photogenic.

18. may on 21 Oct 2009 at 11:37 pm #

    

    paul,

    how abt at jurong point for the roadshow, during the time also get more people come from malaysia.

19. Angela on 21 Oct 2009 at 11:39 pm #

    

    haha, Paul, if you sing duet with Pak Mok, I will support you la.
    hee hee

20. goodness on 21 Oct 2009 at 11:42 pm #

    

    Why not in Suntec City Fountain Of Wealth ?
    I prefer“有我就有你”than“梅兰梅兰我爱你”
    Really hope that 周颖 will be another “玉女”after Jeanette !

21. bitoo on 22 Oct 2009 at 12:14 am #

    

    WOW, cool, totally can’t wait for the show!

    Is the cover for the calendar the same as the poster? (Its nice but it looks a little ‘cramp’)
    Hope there will be posters distributed too, like The Little Nyonya
    Hope the calendars can be sold with I-weekly or 8-days, like in previous years, yearly calendars are sold together (good things must be shared haha)

    I think Compass Point is a good location, the layout of the mall allows majority to see the stage…

    Hope to see the website up and coming =)

    Thanks

22. DYTfan on 22 Oct 2009 at 1:20 am #

    

    can have it at ION?

    cos on the 1st floor there’s quite a big space in front of Muji… plus it’s the in place..many ppl will sure turn up.

    If it’s gonna be at compass point again, ppl’ll be reminded of TLN.. i think that should 推陈出新, have it at another venue, ‘fresher’ feel (: hahha^^

    and compass pt quite far, at least ION is at orchard, quite accessible for most SPreans…

23. Game Over on 22 Oct 2009 at 6:47 am #

    

    I would really hope that Jeanet Aw will fall sick on the day of ROAD SHOW. I don’t wanna see her freaking face. Mediacorp and Singaporeans should be shameful of her ….. I hope that i will NEVER see her there…. Also, our 20 groups of friends will only ATTEND if Jeanet Aw doesn’t showed up…

    Take care Paul

    (Paul: Why so poisonous remark? You were murdered by her in previous life? Haha)

24. justmoi on 22 Oct 2009 at 6:54 am #

    

    cool!

    nothing against any1 here, but is this NOT a local production? why is the chinese dude placed in the middle of it all, somewhat indicating he is the center of attraction

    im all in to support local stars!!

    ^___________^V

25. simon on 22 Oct 2009 at 8:27 am #

    

    PLEASE…. I would also NOT want to see Jeneat Aw… I think i’m embrassed by her performance…. Me and my friends will also ONLY attend the roadshow if JA doesn’t come to the roadshow.. I feel she is talentless….. Please Paul, ask her NOT to attend it….

26. black on 22 Oct 2009 at 9:50 am #

    

    compass pt too far liao. hold at somewhere more sensible… lyk orchard central, marina sq, raffles city, central or vivo… and can hold 1 at ngee ann poly open hse oso? the open hse is 1st wk jan…

    hey btw can get nokia to sponsor for tt drama?

27. Meiling on 22 Oct 2009 at 10:53 am #

    

    The Calendar look great cos got ELVIN! Haha.
    But hope it wil be distributed at the roadshow cos i believes alot of fans would loves to get it since you said it’s not for sale.

    But hope not so limited till only a few will be distributed.

    I want that calendar! =D

    (Paul: OK…definitely at the roadshow but don’t think I can please everyone….gotta think of a way to give out…)

28. funny on 22 Oct 2009 at 11:07 am #

    

    to Gameover and Simon (confirm is the same person)..

    Don’t attend then don’t attend la..who want you guys to attend? you think whole Singapore only hv YOU and UR FRIENDS ah? hahaha…少一个不少，多一个不多咯。。。it doesn’t matter… It is better that you guys don’t attend!

29. to Game Over and simon on 22 Oct 2009 at 11:08 am #

    

    I hope Jeanette shows up so you and your friends don’t turn up. The roadshow would be much more enjoyable. Remember what you said!

30. To simon and game over on 22 Oct 2009 at 11:10 am #

    

    Ha ha you expose yourself very well, simon and game over are the same person, the way you write JA’s name are the same, it’s wrongly written in the same way he..he.. Nobody here write JA’s name like that ha..ha..
    You dont show up with all 20 Lucifer in your mind that’s ok, as 5000 others people will show up he..he…
    Just remember, never curse people as earth have gravity, and it will bounce back to you. Just be positive lah, you dont like, then dont come, never curse people, ok?
    A/how nobody invite you to come also right?

31. Meiling on 22 Oct 2009 at 11:57 am #

    

    Must think of a good way yeah.
    Some fans very shy this if is go up stage play games then sure no chance to get the calendar.

    Anyway, will it be an autograph session? Giving posters to sign?

    (Paul: thinking of signing on the jotter book)

32. ahem on 22 Oct 2009 at 12:12 pm #

    

    @justmoi
    Everybody knows why mediacorp spend so much money to promote actors whose origin is China. First, they spent USD15m to produce a movie to make 715 an international star & now they spend so much to produce & promote this drama & gave the meatiest role to DYT.

    The reason is so simple – cos mediacorp is money-face & so now want to suck-up to the biggest market in the world, that is China.

    Never before did mediacorp spent USD15m to promote their own artistes, but with 715, they are so willing to do it. Isn’t it obvious? 715 was never heard of in the region, but mediacorp/raintree invested so much in him to die die must make him an international star. When 715 goes to China to promote himself, he will always proclaim himself as from Guangzhou NOT
    from S’pore, which is not wrong, so what does mediacorp do for S’pore or S’pore artistes?

    (Paul: Haolian lah…? Not every star is of marketable value in overseas market…fact of life)

33. DragonFly on 22 Oct 2009 at 12:23 pm #

    

    Paul, can get me the notebook ar? I’m a notebook collector. You can keep the calendar. Thanks

34. to simon & game over on 22 Oct 2009 at 1:40 pm #

    

    u dun wan to see Jeanette then dun come lor…why do u hav to curse Jeanette until like that…i believe there are many many more people wanted to see Jeanette at the roadshow…

35. Meiling on 22 Oct 2009 at 2:34 pm #

    

    Jotter book???
    Something like notebook ah?
    Quite good. Compact and people can use it.
    Then ur jotter big must be big enough for the casts to sign on it if not by the time it comes to the last person, he/she might not have space to sign already.

    (Paul: Jotter book got many blank pages inside to sign…so no worries)

36. shiliang on 22 Oct 2009 at 3:44 pm #

    

    haha.. OMG simon and GAME OVER! ITS JEANETTE AW! not JEANET. just a single word, and ur identity as a stupid person has been exposed. Be clever next time ok? still need to thank u “BOTH” actually. u “BOTH” made me laugh the whole day.

    btw, i agreee why someone here. if would be great not to see you and your FRIENDS at the roadshow. mediacorp didnt ever force ppl to come. did u hear other said this before “u happy u come, unhappy then just leave”.?
    so if u unhappy with jeanette aw, just leave the mall and hug the tree outside. (paul like to ask ppl to do this). if can don watch this drama as well, im sure chn8 don wan ppl to suffer their eyes too. u don like then don watch. a few viwership of u and ur friends doesnt bother the overall viwership. 1.3million-ur friends is still 1.3million.

    oh ya. if u don like the person, just pretend that person doesnt exist. no need to curse ppl lo.. if curse ppl really that good, “SIMON” and “GAME OVER” r the “two” person that i will curse 1st. but i will not do that la. don worry.

37. Li Lin on 22 Oct 2009 at 4:12 pm #

    

    Paul, is there any reason why Mediacorp is promoting Jeanette so much and not Rui En when both of them are managed by the same artiste networks? Rui En may be ice cool but she definately left a stronger impression than Jeanette e.g. her works in Metamorphosis and By my Side.

    (Paul: RE’s show is next year lah…)

38. ah B on 22 Oct 2009 at 4:17 pm #

    

    @ahem

    What’s wrong with promoting good China actors and actresses? I just watched 心星的泪光 and was really impressed by the China artistes.

    They are convincing and powerful in their acting.

    DYT started off well and so did 715.

    S’porean artistes must also fight for their own survival. No point promoting a local star if he/she doesn’t have potential.

    Locally, the younger guys are not that impressive.

    But the princesses are definitely improving and are extremely popular in S’pore, Msia.

    Look at Fel, Jean, Jo and Jess.

    All doing well. Just open your eyes wider and don’t be overwhelmed by jealously la. (:

39. hi people on 22 Oct 2009 at 4:34 pm #

41. don on 22 Oct 2009 at 6:16 pm #

    

    Apart from Jeanette Aw and Dai Yang Tian, who are the other artistes featured in the calendar?

    (Paul: Inside months = JA, DYT, EN, ZZH, EK and KOLA)

42. simon on 22 Oct 2009 at 6:37 pm #

    

    Huh… Please i’m not the same person as GAME OVER for the record….. I don’t know who is she/he …. Please JA is nothing but trouble for all the Singaporeans….

43. shiliang on 22 Oct 2009 at 6:44 pm #

    

    to simon: trouble to ALL singaporeans? haha.. so funny!! i think u shud know the popularity of jeanette in singapore right? and how many ppl like her.. i think someone like u only know how to create trouble la..

    btw, its GAME OVER now! haha

44. to Simon on 22 Oct 2009 at 6:55 pm #

    

    hahaha,..you damn funny sia…just ADMIT la…only YOU will spell JA’s name as Jeneat! hahaha…go do some research first before posting la….malu ler…

45. DD on 22 Oct 2009 at 7:13 pm #

    

    very well said by those ppl who support JA. Nobody forces you to attend, the pair of legs are yours! There may be ppl like you who do not like JA but there are also many ppl out there who loves JA. JA can’t please everyone neither can you? Just be wary that it is no good to curse ppl as there may be repercussion that it may “boomerang” and YOU will be the one who will fall sick!! Be a mature fan and don’t be overwhelmed with jealousy and let your emotions get the better of you; bear this in mind in whatever you do; at school, work, or at home.

    Hi Paul .. ION Orchard may be a good platform to consider as it is central. tku

46. jade on 22 Oct 2009 at 7:19 pm #

    

    i saw koala at bugis shopping last week. all i can say is i really think shes gt potential to make it big, she is seriously v v pretty in person. I had seen many mediacorp celebs b4, but koala was indeed rather head turning when i saw her in real life. and she didnt even put on make up!v good fair skin, and big eyes

47. random on 22 Oct 2009 at 7:32 pm #

    

    Btw, I suddenly have this thought..

    Why not put milestone/popular MCS dramas in the 7-10pm timeslot every weekend?

    For a start, can slot Holland V, Kinship and Love Blossoms into 7-10pm. (1 Hour each) and Paul can actually do a promo for e Re-run shows with a.. something like “long drama” tagline in the ad. eg. 7pm HV, 8pm KS, 9pm LB.

    Or another combo is The Golden Path, Little Nyonya and Ultimatum from 7-10pm. eg. 7pm TGP, 8pm TLN, 9pm TU.

    Or can do a mix.

    7-9pm -> one long drama re-run
    9-10pm -> BB re-run.

    Sounds pretty exciting!

48. To Simon on 22 Oct 2009 at 7:40 pm #

    

    I think you is the most troublesome and a shame to Singaporeans.

49. shiliang on 22 Oct 2009 at 7:44 pm #

    

    paul, how to register the blog under http://blog.xin.sg/index ar?

    (Paul: Care to elaborate bec I don’t know your problem leh)

50. cy on 22 Oct 2009 at 7:45 pm #

    

    have it at mediacorp TV theatre??

51. hahaha on 22 Oct 2009 at 8:04 pm #

    

    Simon just can’t admit it because he feel very shameful now. So he have to find excuse to cover his shameful,hahaha.

52. Audrey on 22 Oct 2009 at 9:29 pm #

    

    Hello Paul

    I’m a BIG BIG BIG fan of Elvin!

    I want the calendar!
    If not any kind souls just pull out April’s page for me will do can. pls?
    haha, cos i think if it’s those roadshows tt need to go up on stage play games, i don’t want lar… like so star struck and suitable for XMMs only. I’m getting old, cannot win them one! The most I can do is stand infront of e stage.

    hmm, how abt contribute some calendars for charity auction?

    (Paul: No need to play game lah…maybe just queue up will do…)

53. go go go on 22 Oct 2009 at 10:37 pm #

    

    just out of curiosity.
    I heard another broadcasting station in China has bought the rights to TLN after Shanghai had their successful screening recently, is it true?

    I think the soft copy of the Together calendar should be make online.

    (Paul: I think so…now night time so can’t check lah…)

54. shiliang on 22 Oct 2009 at 11:00 pm #

    

    (Paul: Care to elaborate bec I don’t know your problem leh)

    Hi Paul…

    Just wondering hor, Can ‘chop’ afew copies for Elvinology?
    I’m sure my fellow elves friends wld love to have them too.
    N u noe, there’s bound to be some who can’t make it to e roadshow one!

    (Paul: Cannot lor…other stars also got fan club leh…I give you a calendar with just me and Pat lah…haha)

58. ahemahem on 23 Oct 2009 at 10:00 am #

    

    @ah B
    715 started well? DYT started well? If they started well, if they have so much potential, they should stay in China & compete there mah. But DYT said, it’s very difficult to get a supporting role let alone a leading role in China productions leh.

    C’mon lah, without mediacorp keep giving them so many opportunities, investing so much money in them, where are they now leh?

    Ultimately, if they get any awards next time (due to the many many expensive promos for them), they will just say : I’m from Guangzhou”or
    I’m from Shanghai. At least for those sportmen who play for S’pore Team, the pre-requisite qualification is that they must become S’poreans before we groom them. What about mediacorp artistes? We are not talking about fans’ support, we are talking about mediacorp using OUR money to groom a non-S’porean artiste & in the end, if there’s any medal, it won’t belong to us.
    ya, the medal will be kept at mediacorp, so what? Can we say a S’porean has won the medal?

    If you all really think 715 & DYT is so superb, ask yourself, why weren’t they being spotted & groomed in China?

    If s’pore showbiz is dominated by imported talents, what meaning is there for us S’poreans?

    Fans can support artistes from any countries, that’s individual’s liking. But mediacorp being SINGAPORE biggest media company, has an OBLIGATION to groom SINGAPORE artistes for SINGAPORE, cos we are talking about multi-millions of SINGAPORE money, OUR money.

    (Paul: So, have you voted for our local local stars in Star Awards? Walk the talk)

59. Angela on 23 Oct 2009 at 2:43 pm #

    

    (Paul: Cannot lor…other stars also got fan club leh…I give you a calendar with just me and Pat lah…haha)

    Paul
    You very naughty leh, Always make fun of yourself and Pat Mok…. hee hee

60. ahemahem on 23 Oct 2009 at 3:22 pm #

    

    Paul sir, how to support local artistes, when mediacorp sent a loud message to us that NONE of our local artistes deserve or has the potential to qualify for their millions of $$$ investment? Since our local artistes are so undeserving, then why should we waste money to support them, which is actually indirectly supporting mediacorp to groom foreign artistes. Would I want to be so stupid? No Way lor.

    And why would I want to waste money to support local artistes when I know they won’t have any opportunities to succeed outside S’pore?

    I think for local artistes, if they can’t make a decent living out of acting, they should really consider a change in career before they turn 30. Don’t drag until they are too old to start a new career & get stuck at acting mamas & papas. That’s definitely a very sad scenario. If they are like zoe who has no education, then it’s ok, she has nothing to lose to continue to act until she’s old. But for those who can carve out a career in other areas with their education, then better think hard lor. That’s why James Lye left just when he turned 30, to start a career in banking.

    I’m just being practical & honest.

61. wonder on 23 Oct 2009 at 4:43 pm #

    

    Paul,

    Wonder if you can do interview on JA and 715 like you did on Rui En? if so, when will that be?

    (Paul: Can do…after they wrap up filming ‘Together’ K?)

62. justmoi on 23 Oct 2009 at 4:51 pm #

    

    hiya! *wave*

    truly, i think the calendar cover would look more befittin if elvin, jeannette n chinese dude *all main stars* are standin on the SAME platform.. cos this is afterall a LOCAL PRODUCTION

    then again, who am i to say anythin *go figure*

    anywhur, just an observation, nothin to spur argument or anything =P

    ♪♫¸¸.•*´`*TAKE GREAT CARE!*´*•.¸¸♫.♪

63. Kim on 23 Oct 2009 at 6:55 pm #

    

    To Simon and Game Over,

    May I know why both of you dislike Jeanette. If you think Jeanette’s popularity is over-rated, it is quite natural for her fans to over-rate her because they love her. I think that goes to the other artistes as well. There is a season for everything under the sun. I guess it is just the season for Jeanette to be popular after the show, Xiao Niang Re (XNR). But Jeanette has her ‘low and down’ season as well before XNR, she was kind of low profile. So she got a fair share of the good and bad times as well.

    I believe for those artistes that you like and if they have a very successful show,it is also natural for you to over-rate them as well. In life, we all have preferences and individual ‘liking’ for a certain artiste. As for me, I would see if the show is exciting enough to warrant my time. I am a kind of TV drama lover and I watch most of the TV serial shows on Channel 8 as well as some on Channel 5. In the 70’s, I would rent Hong Kong serial drama and chase till 2 am in the morning but now I don’t do it anymore because MediaCorp will screen it someday on the TV.

    Why made yourselves so unhappy because of one Jeanette, there are many more artistes worth your attention. Out of courtesy, if there a roadshow for a certain artiste, normally those who attends are their fans. If you don’t like Jeanette, you can ignore her presence and don’t look at her. Our eyes are capable of focussing and zooming in for the one we like. In fact, there is even no time to look at others because the crowd is overwhelming in the XNR’s roadshow. I had no chance to look at Jeanette and yuwu, the only one I saw clearly was Eelyn and Pang Ling Ling. They acted as evil people in XNR, do I have to hate them to see them at the roadshow. Definitely not.

    I am not reasoning with you or to change your mind towards Jeanette. But I think it is all part of a media game, I supposed. Of course, I hope you would be kind to her.

    I also want the calendar but I live at Malaysia. How can I get it?

    (Paul: Come and queue at the road show lor…)

65. 715&JA supporter on 23 Oct 2009 at 11:15 pm #

    

    Paul,

    Wonder if you can do interview on JA and 715 like you did on Rui En? if so, when will that be?

    (Paul: Can do…after they wrap up filming ‘Together’ K?)

    wow…that will be great if u can interview both of them together at the same time…just like the previous tradeshow interview…but have to be much longer la…we just could not get enough of them onscreen…thanks=)

    (Paul: Nevermind lah…I supplement with Pat Mok and my interview K?)

66. Jia En on 23 Oct 2009 at 11:28 pm #

    

    Dai Yang Tian is back from Ipoh filming.

    He had updated his blog. Check it out

69. request on 24 Oct 2009 at 3:00 pm #

    

    hey paul, are u in charge of the i weekly department? may i request to schedule qi yuwu and jeanette to have a photoshoot together for the cover page for the i weekly? if i am not wrong, i don’t think this lovely couple wasn’t on any of the cover page for any magazine before…i believe if they were on the cover page for i weekly, it should be quite nice…
    if not, maybe if can schedule for the top 3 onscreen couple, elvin ng and rui en, qi yuwu and jeanette, and zhang yao dong and felicia chin, to have a photoshoot together…i would definitely be even better…i think there will be lots of fans buying that magazine lor…really looking forward to that…may my wish come true..haha=)

    (Paul: No, I’m not…it’s completely up to their editor to find stars with bigger selling power lor)

70. ? on 24 Oct 2009 at 3:07 pm #

    

    heard that 三菜一汤 2 is debuting soon in dec…is it true? is the list of artistes invited to the show out yet? can share with us?

    (Paul: Soon to share…)

71. shiliang on 24 Oct 2009 at 4:35 pm #

    

    paul, how u gonna distribute the calender? one person gets 1?

    (Paul: Only early birds who queue lor…)

72. Kim on 24 Oct 2009 at 6:45 pm #

    

    Paul, why don’t let yuwu, Jesseca Liu, Elvin and Jeanette acts in the new drama, New Beginnings. Should let TPH not to pair with Jesseca Liu in this show. If 715 is free which I think he might not be free in Dec 09 till Jan 10, he is a better choice because I want to see how 715 fair with Jesseca Liu.
    It is just an experiment although Jeanette is best with 715.

73. puzzled on 24 Oct 2009 at 8:05 pm #

    

    I read the news on the calender in the newspaper. But honestly, elvin have more than DYT and JA right? Why is it this way?? If DYT AND JA is the main why elvin have more.. thou DYT AND JA have 3 each too but they share one of it.. why elvin have 3 individual one???

    (Paul: Pending on how you see lor…his last one is with DYt lah but somehow the designer make DYT blur off a little…)

74. Audrey on 24 Oct 2009 at 9:17 pm #

    

    haha ok lor, fair and square yah. no piority for fanclubs too. =)

    But but I’ll really be happy and it’ll certainly bright up my day if i get to see many many Elvin in ur upcoming blog entries. =) The casts are back in spore already rite? =)

    hahaha… I’ll really be very happy to get a glimpse of paul! so do i also queue up the same as the roadshow one to get urs and pat mok’s calendar & personally autographed to me? LOL! =D

    (Paul: Wait till I get some cosmetic surgery done to my face yah…haha)

    Hope the editor could read this request and could consider further.
    Thank u….

    (Paul: I also puzzled why they never thought about that for so long…maybe need that DYT’s slap again…haha)

    1) Will Malaysia be viewing “Together” the same time as Singapore do? I.e. Through cable TV?
    2) Do you need Malaysian reporter covering Together roadshow, press conference? I work with the media.

    OK i dun noe wats so good about Jeanette Aw. Her acting is just ordinary and people think she so good just becos she acted in The little nyonya. And some more she not SO pretty, just so so. And I think Jessica Liu nicer.

96. Person on 26 Oct 2009 at 6:03 pm #

    

    Sorry i mean JESSECA LIU

97. to game over, simon, person on 26 Oct 2009 at 6:11 pm #

    

    OMG i so agree wif all of u! i HATE JA. she is SO over-rated. just because TLN got the highest viewers, that doesnt mean that her acting is good. ppl may watch it cos of the plot, the other actors & actresses. JA is so zhi yi wei shi after her so-called DEBUT in TLN. she has enough promoting, mediacorp should try to shine some light on other actresses that are much better. i think that fiona xie, rui en, jesseca liu, evelyn kok has progessed the most. JA has just been stuck ever since she started. paul ah, pls stop shining light on JA. she had enough. so do i. i had enough of seeing her on tv. paul, u should tell the CEO of mediacorp to stop it or alot of ppl will think mediacorp is a money loving creature who is using JA to make more money then ever.

    (Paul: The last time you saw her was a year ago…one year one show and you want to rally to deprive her another chance?)

99. DD on 26 Oct 2009 at 7:41 pm #

    

    paul, you are absolutely right; these ppl must be “nuts” to say that JA had too much publicity; she has only ONE drama for the whole of 2009 and it is evident that she didn’t grace many of the magazine covers; unlike some other artistes. as always, there will be ppl like you who do not like JA and idolise your own artistes (whoever they are?) but there will also be many out there who adore JA. All of us are entitled to our preferences and comments. if you don’t like JA, just don’t watch her show, same to those who do not like the artistes you like can choose not to watch their shows. so, be nice if you want ppl to be nice to you too.

100. Ray on 26 Oct 2009 at 8:13 pm #

     

     to hate JA, although i have no objection to what u said about fiona xie, jesseca liu, rui en and eelyn kok, what u said about JA, U PLEASE FOR GOODNESS SAKE SWALLOW YOUR OWN WORDS OR SOMEDAY SOMEONE WILL MAKE SURE GET U TO CHOKE IT OUT!!!!THIS IS NOT A THREAT BUT HOW HAS JA OFFENDED U?

101. true to anti-ja on 26 Oct 2009 at 9:13 pm #

     

     OMG. Why are there people so unreasonable. Jeanette is very pretty and unique okay. Not juz another plain jane. She has unique features and looks good in period dramas. Thats something other princesses cannot achieve ESPECIALLY NOT JL. So who else could mediacorp use other than the SUPER DUPER SUITABLE JA? And whats more, she has only one drama this year. Its already unfair to her yet u talk about over promoting? Thats ridiculous.

     You obviously hate her and jealous of her popularity. And fiona xie progressed the most? Get your glasses check MAN. Totally out of the way. Evelyn progressed? Omg. u STUPID OR WAD? after 8years, she came from the same talent competition as JA. Look where she is now. NOT EVEN A PRINCESS. Not even any cover gal. Not even a nomination after more than 8years. And she progressed? Jesseca Liu have been moving backwards over the years. When she started out, she’s doing great improving by leaps and bounds and taking sooooooo much of lead roles. But now, her glorious days are over. Look at her roles this year. Dream catchers? Forget liao. Baby Bonus? She have a role in that show? All I heard is FC. Please, your definition of progressed is polar opposite to the real meaning man. GO CHECK THE DICTIONARY.

     But I have to agree with u on Rui En. Progressing slow but steadily unlike JL who shot to stardom overnight but not lasting. U hate JA? We dont wanna know.

     Wad do u mean by u agree with all of u? Only 1or 2 anti-JA. And u may be that LAME person impersonating it. SO its like so fake.

     Jeanette is the best choice. SO its not over exposure. TLN shows off her acting skills. I beg to differ. her acting was great. Gaining her so much popularity. She recieved so much praise from how many millions of people worldwide. So who are u the odd one out to disagree on her acting?

102. shiliang on 26 Oct 2009 at 9:52 pm #

     

     to hate JA : aiya.. mayb u too long never watch show liao? and long time nvr catch up with news d issit?

     stop being jealous and sour grape now la.. keep saying mediacorp over-rated her and other nonsence.. pls..if ur idol not grommed by mediacorp, just ask her to work harder like JA..im sure she will get the same thing from mediacorp as well..
     u see the mirror and urself.. “is jeanette dislike by many ppl”? go n count properly la.. jz bcoz of some sour grapes like u keep posting here, ppl will thought that actually threre’re many ppl dislike her.

103. Heiots on 26 Oct 2009 at 10:08 pm #

     

     In my opinion, Jeanette hasn’t been over-exposed this year, but maybe she’s so popular that you feel that way. Besides, you shouldn’t hate someone when you don’t even know them, and I presume you do not know Jeanette at all.

104. to Game Over on 26 Oct 2009 at 10:44 pm #

     

     u idiotic, retarded fellow. everyone knows ja is THE BEST NOW! u please get it right and open your eyes wide – who is the most popular now?? don’t be a sour grape lah u! just becos ja is popular doesn’t mean u can be damn mean to her, hor? who do u think u are?

105. goodness on 26 Oct 2009 at 11:40 pm #

     

     To hate JA :
     Since so many ppls love JA , like to see JA shining on TV ! Why not keep on using JA to made more money for mediacorp ? Let’s me tell you this ” She’s the most beautiful and successful princess among the other six ! She’s always the best choice for EP and mediacorp !
     You gonna be same with Game Over and Simon if your life without JA ! Totally ” Game Over ” !

106. Kar Yan on 26 Oct 2009 at 11:55 pm #

     

     to true,

     in my opinion, it’s perfectly fine for you to protect JA when others say something bad about her. but is there a need for you to say something bad about other artistes as well? hate JA mentioned that Jesseca, Rui En, Fiona and Eelyn have progressed better than JA. do you actually need to state so many negative things about them, especially Jesseca?

     to you, her roles in The Dream-Catchers and Baby Bonus may be forgettable. and yes, that’s ONLY to YOU. you will never know if her roles are being remembered by other viewers out there, especially her fans. and if i misinterpret your message, you said that Jess cannot bring out ancient outfits well? have you even seen her in those outfits before? I, as a fan of Jess haven’t seen before. if you had, do post up a link of the picture/video/whatsoever over here as i would really love to see it.

     there isn’t any great opportunities approaching Jesseca lately. but i dont consider that as moving backwards. what she needs is a role that can leave a greater impression on others. jeanette wasn’t even remembered very well before she landed a role in TLN. i’m just making a comparison here and not condeming jeanette by any means. i’m just trying to tell you that each artiste needs the right opportunity to make it big. i believe Jesseca’s chance will come. all that matters is just time.

107. Karen on 27 Oct 2009 at 12:24 am #

     

     Thank you people for standing up for Simon and GAME OVER …
     JA is such a snob…. Just because she starred in 2 blockbuster, doesn’t mean she can be called “AH JIE” …
     Fann Wong and Zoe Tay didn’t play dirty tricks to be called “AH JIE”. They worked their ass off to make it to the top. Unlike JA, she wants to brag how she can come up to the same level as FANN and Zoe…

     JA being called ” AH JIE” is like our PRIME MINSTER working with Osama Bin Laden to fix this world…

     Got it…

     THANK PAUL

108. Kar Yan on 27 Oct 2009 at 9:13 am #

     

     edit : and if i DID NOT misinterpret your message, you said that Jess cannot bring out ancient outfits well?

109. To Karen on 27 Oct 2009 at 11:54 am #

     

     Good ONE Karen… It’s amusing how you compare JA with “SOMEONE” else…
     hahhahahahha..!!!!
     I totally understand it… Those ppl who doesn’t like JA are cowards to tell their opinions.. They are the fakest ppl in this world…..They have 2 faces…

     Go FELICA CHIN and JOANNE PEH… You have my full support…..

110. Kim on 27 Oct 2009 at 12:34 pm #

     

     Artistes are like waves in the sea. If you are at the seaside and if you stay long enough to study the waves, you can learn something out of it. In Singapore all the waves are small and peaceful but if you go to the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean in MelBourne or the Pacific Ocean in Hawaii, the waves can be twice taller than a man. There are 3 parallelisms to this concept.

     We have the veterans who have made ‘big waves’ before in their lifetime. We also have the rising artistes, occassionally making big waves here and there in a few dramas. And finally we have the young and new artistes who are ‘background’ waves, they are small and far from the coast, right in the far end of the ocean. Some becomes big waves and some die off before they come to shore.
     Waves are not static, they moved if you study Physics in a cyclical shape. Of course the wind current also plays a part in pushing these waves.

     As the saying goes ‘The ‘back’ waves push the ‘front’ waves till it hits the shore, makes a wave sound and vanishes off into the sand. This is a natural phenomena. These waves sound have therapeutic effects on human beings.
     It is a consistent movement of the waves that pushes one wave up and another another wave down. I went to the Great Ocean Route in MelBourne, Victoria and for every each visit, I am amazed at those gigantic waves that hits constantly the Southern coast of Victoria. The Southern coast of Victoria is a rugged cliff but some parts is eroding off by these waves.

     Imagine an artiste resembling the waves, it can make impact into people’s life. In a drama, every character created is for a purpose. Some leave a bigger impact and some lesser or even unpleasant but there must be ‘one’ wave that resembles the ‘gigantic’ waves that will leave the deepest impact in the viewers heart.

     I shall not deal on who makes the biggest impact in MediaCorp till now, it is too sensitive a subject to bring out.

     In the 70’s, Weng Yong and Xiangyun are the heartrob of many aunties and uncles. Alongside Liyingzhu, Zhu Houren, ChenSuChen, Wangyuqin, HuiFern, .. and some left the media industry.
     Then the next waves come Zoe Tay, Fann Wong, Ann Kok, Cynthia, Ling Ling, Aileen Tan, Huifang and Geping, Liping and some also left the industry.
     Now we have the waves of the 7 Princess and the Prince among us, not forgetting our children artistes. They are so good and cute.

     The question is ‘Why kill a wave prematurely before it hits the shore’. A wave can die prematurely in the far end of the ocean, no chance to become a big wave if there is no other ‘back’ waves to push it to the shore. But if the Singapore media industry is going to be like these kind of premature waves, then we are really wasting our time and money to do media, better to put our money and investment elsewhere. Why is the Hong Kong media so flourishing and sought after. The reason is they have big waves in every decades of the media industrial life. And they don’t kill these waves.

     In the past, they have Liza Wang, XieXian, Adam Cheng, Carol Chen and the list goes on… then they have the next batch Michelle Yim, LiuSongren.. and the newer batch Raymond Lam, Moses Chan, Linda Chung, Lizhi…
     I don’t want to talk about their environmental conditions .. not so protected like ours. Bickering among them, it is quite natural in every strata of society.

     Acting is a breeze in Singapore. Our artistes are really bless because of our strict ratings and censorships. Whatever we do in our media in Singapore, leave some dignity and ‘face’ for our artistes.
     Do you know that acting leaves stigma in our lives, audience will naturally relate you to that particular character. I guess this is the price to pay.
     Then after that they will call you immoral, vain and whatever name you call, it is there.

     For the fans to be over-protective towards their artistes is also natural, otherwise they are not call ‘fans’. If an artiste is not so popular, the problem lies in your fanbase. This is all part of the media industry. Your fans are like the wind and the sea current that you do not think very much of but they determine the size and strength of the wave.

     I believe it is a good time scutinizing Jeanette. The more you downgrade her, the more popular she becomes. Criticising an artiste bring twofolds blessings. One is people still know her existence and the second reason she is the most ‘talk’ person now in the blog – the good and the bad points, you have already brings to her the sense of her presence.

     I give Jeanette a test to see if the new drama, ‘Together’ if the character of YaoJianHong is going to give the same impact as TLN. Now with the absence of 715, Joanne Peh, Cynthia Koh, Ling Ling and most of the veterans as in TLN, it is an acid test for her. Is it fair to everyone who really dislike Jeanette. Next month when the drama goes on debut, we will rate the viewership against other shows like Baby Bonus, YHIM, Romantic Delicacies, Daddy at Home …

     One song is enough to make a singer popular.
     One drama is enough to make an artiste popular.
     One book is enough to make a novel writer popular.
     But nobody knows that in that one song, one drama and one novel book, there is a million times of failure. Why can’t we applause someone with ‘one’ time success.

     Do you tell me that politicians make a million policies and all the million policies is right and perfect. Ask MM Mr Lee Kuan Yew or read his books on ‘The Singapore Story’ and a few others, then you will know the ‘ups and downs’ of making policies for this island. Some policies are like bitter medicine and some are like ‘breeze’. Baby bonus is a breeze policy, are the young people embracing it or they prefer to stop at one child, the max 4 children.

     Spare a feeling for Jeanette. This girl is very strong or she will not be where she is right now, still taking up the role of YaoJianHong in the coming drama.

     I was shocked at hate JA ridiculous comments and comparisons on JA with other artistes. Especially those who progressed. ”Progressed” However, I really don’t feel that JL is progressing. You gotta face the fact. Yes, she needs a much more better role to bring herself out to stand out among the 7princesses. But you gotta admit that she isn’t making progress but jogging on the same ground. So she definitely isnt progressing if not moving backwards.

     In fact, I think I made a wrong statement about Jl cannot bring out ancient outfit. I dont know that well. But all I know that Jl, FX and JA auditioned for TLN as the finalists. But JA was chosen so I feel, in my own personal opinion is more suitable than JL for ancient outfits. I think so.

     But yes yes, she still do stand a chance. SHE HAVE GREAT ACTING potential and great height coupled with good looks. But her chances arent coming.

     And sorry for some wrong facts as I was really in a fit of anger at hate JA for his/her really craZY comments. Hence, i just say whatever i wanted too without much hesitation. Sorry.

     And Karen. Jeanette is working hard too okay. Wad do u mean by FANN AND ZOE worked their ass of to make it to the top. JA worked hard too, obviously. She get the two blockbusters through her own hardwork, merit and experience. And its Mediacorp decision. You ought to respect it, karen. Not question it. And when did JA brag? Your observations are totally out of the way. Juz say so if you hate her or is jealous of her when she stand out more than your idols.

     Too bad Karen. Listening to your rubbish, is like looking at Mas Selamat escaping from Whitley detention centre. But in the end, he still get caught. What is meant to be yours is meant to be but what isnt will never be. Try to pull down others but your actions will definitely backfire.

     I am really puzzled as to why people are making personal attacks on Jeanette and making all sorts of wild accusations and really weird comparisons. I first saw Jeanette at the TLN roadshow held at Compass Point. Subsequently, I met her at other events and have had opportunities to chat with her. She is a really sweet beautiful girl with a charming smile with no ‘airs’ about her. Please do not make unfounded accusations here. Thank you.

     to true :

     Kebaya worn in TLN isn’t an ancient outfit. for us in Malaysia, it’s more known as a traditional outfit for the Malays. so it has nothing much got to do with ancient.

     i see ancient outfits like those worn by hk artistes in ancient dramas, just like the recently aired Beyond the Realm of Conscience. to ME, Jess should look good in such outfits since she has a tall and slender figure and not to forget, her pretty look

     Of course, she could be putting fake smiles in front of the public just to make ppl believe that she is sweet. I guess ppl need to learn about non-verbal communication to truly understand the other person.
     JA once said on the interview that “sometimes she get envious when she doesn’t have any big roles”. That tells us that she MIGHT do “whatever” she want to get to the lead roles. If you know what i mean….

     thanks

     Hi Paul
     Will the singers for the theme and sub-theme be appearing also? Like Kelvin and Joi both I like very much. Hope you can include them besides the lovely JA and suai ge DYT

     (Paul: I will be inviting them but subject to their availability lah…)

     to To Together

     I guess there’s really nothing the Jeanette fans can say to make you believe she is truly sweet. You may need to learn that not everyone is putting on a front just to present a good image. If Jeanette has ever said she gets envious of others, it does not necessarily mean that she would do ‘whatever’ to get those roles. There is no connection.

     Please stop all this nonsense. wHAT DO YOU MEAN BY FAKE SMILEs?
     Please stop slamming her with rubbish opinions just because you dont like her and wanna pull her down so as to enable your idols to go up.

     Hv u decided where to hold the roadshow? Tks!

     Hello Paul

     Thanks so much for inviting them, hope they will appear.

     Please do update once the songs are available to listen. Really anticipating this drama and the songs very much.

127. Haiz on 28 Oct 2009 at 4:27 pm #

     

     I think it’s hard for an artiste. If they smile, others said fake smile, if not smile, others will said very ‘tiao kay’. What should the artiste do, smile or not smile? Paul, please tell the artiste what to do.

128. Kim on 28 Oct 2009 at 6:48 pm #

     

     Jeanette has never say she is the ‘Ah Jie’. Don’t put words in her mouth. Let her do her best for every drama that is given to her, isn’t this the aspiration of most artistes. With so many critics arrow at her, do you think she can smile happily. With your hostility towards her, asking her not to go for the roadshow, is it fair to her. Roadshows are planned by the company before the debut of the drama, is MediaCorp willing to drain all the money away after making the drama.

     If the publicity is not meant for Jeanette, fine. But also must consider the other casts that are involved in this show, Eelyn Kok, DYT, Zhen Huan, Kola, Elvin and the other veterans which are mainly MediaCorp’s artistes.

     Who are the ones that MediaCorp has in mind, it is pretty obvious?. Jeanette is not fighting for these positions. Every year, the same story goes on and on, name your Ah Jie before 2009 end and I will her a big applause, a bouquet of flowers. Can you please let her do her job happily.?

     Whatever the outcomes of the drama ‘Together’ is not for competition. It is only to track her consistency. Before the debut, keep on throwing cold water. I will turn these cold water into showers of blessings for her.

129. together on 28 Oct 2009 at 9:38 pm #

     

     ‘Do not judge a book by its cover.’ I truly agree with this and I believe most people do. I am not so shallow minded as to think that someone is sweet just because of her smile. I form my opinion based on my interactions with her as well as through observations and other factors. Meatier roles, not necessarily bigger roles, would give an actor the opportunity to hone one’s acting skills. If an actor does not wish for more opportunities, where is the passion?
     To have a more accurate feel of a person’s character, I feel that reading that person’s blog offers more insight than reading interviews. Especially when one is penning his/her thoughts freely.
     I hope that whoever you support or like will gain his/her deserved recognition. As for me, I wish Jeanette good health and happiness always.

     I’m am a big fan of Jeanette aw… And i have been reading comments wrriten by ppl. I’m so worried and concerned that Jeanette Aw actually do “WHATEVER” to get the roles for the 2 blockbuster. OMG….. I can’t beleive that my
     idol “Jeanette Aw” would use dirty tricks and put fake smiles for the public..
     I’m so UPSET and so CONCERNED…….sob…sob… my idol has DISSAPOINTED me……!!!!

     (Paul: You think everyone reading this will believe you? You obviously anti-Jeanette to come up with this twisted scam comment)

131. Z on 30 Oct 2009 at 2:43 pm #

     

     Thanks mediacorp for putting up the Together website! Finally… The design looks beautiful!

     On a side note, why does Jeanette Aw’s character appear before Dai Yang Tian’s? Shouldn’t it be the other way around since Dai Yang Tian’s the male lead? I notice this is the case in wikipedia too. Hmmm…

     By the way, when Dai Yang Tian gets caught by the police and framed, does the whole story jump to Jeanette Aw’s character, to turn back to him only when he comes back? Or does his side of being framed gets shown too?

     Also, was he arrested for drug smuggling or murder? I’m really confused.

     Sorry for the many questions.

     to jeanette fan

     How childish and lame of you. You think all of us here are 3year old three. You are that retarded to resort to this kind of underhand means? I wonder if you have ever receive an education.

     She didnt use dirty tricks. But used her hardwork, merit and talent to gain her position and standing today. Her smiles are sincere and true. And filled with that much of happiness from her heart. She is not as evil as you think.

     People like you are a BIG disgrace.

133. Kim on 01 Nov 2009 at 8:51 pm #

     

     MediaCorp, listen carefully, we want strict rules and discipline across broad all directors, Executive Producers to abide to a certain code of conduct during work. This is Singapore and we want a clean and honourable media industry here. All dirty tricks and rubbish, please expose them.
     I want to put this disciplinary behaviour as mandatory or please get lost from our media station. If we have not enough directors now, we can outsource them from elsewhere, plenty of them waiting to be employed.

     What dirty tricks is Jeanette using to gain her popularity and standing. In every roadshow, I don’t even dare to go near her, keeping a distant from her.
     Sometimes got to use binoculars because standing too far from the platform.

     Who is kind, who is evil, who is ‘faking their smiles’, we all know it very well.
     Who is making use of who, we all know deep in our hearts, don’t have to spell it so clearly here.

     In the past, those who have the most money can have all the say they want in this world. But please wake up, the order of things are different now. The biggest say now belongs to the ‘precious’ people who you deem most important. If you keep on bombarding at Jeanette for no apparent reason, mere jeolousy that most viewers condemn her and say that she acted the lousiest in The Little Nyonya and yet become an icon. Just think for a moment, if there is no Juxiang and Yueniang, we must as well change the title of the drama to, say The revival of the Peranakan Culture. Must as well go without ChenXi, no big deal to his character, just make a factual story and featuring everything about the Peranakan. Why must have the Peranakan Ball, a redundant musical drama. Even if you want to engage Jeanette to do all these shows, engaged her with some sense of dignity and not just using her and chuck her away.
     Expectation from Jeanette is higher in general than most artistes. If she fail to hit the expectation, the newspaper will write that she is a lousy actress, don’t know how to act, don’t know how to talk and all sorts of rubbish.
     Let me tell you that most Singaporeans are poor in public speaking, so don’t just arrow at Jeanette all the time.

     I am really sick of the Singapore media, utterly sick if you get to know how we treat people, it is all about money and nothing else as far as I have perceived. Go and buy more Hong Kong dramas or Taiwanese dramas, then we don’t have to fight everyday over artistes’ popularity.

     (Paul: TV License fee goes to MDA who decides how best to fund TV projects they want Singaporeans to watch on all channels – it is not MediaCorp who collects them to produce all our shows…)
