Why the former ice queen of Caldecott Hill Rui En
feels happier lately
Local actress Rui En has a reputation as the ice queen of Caldecott
Hill.
But that standoffish persona was nowhere in sight during C.L.I.F.
3's press conference last Friday, reports The New
Paper.
The 33-year-old was chatty and cheery and she joked around with the
cast on stage, prompting actress Tracy Lee to wonder if something
had happened during filming to cause this
difference.
Rui En said with a smile: "Many people saw the change in me and
asked me if there is a man in my life now.
"But it's really because I became a Christian right before the
filming of this drama. I feel happier these days."
She added that happiness comes with age, as she found she could let
go of things more easily.
"In the past, I had this overwhelming pressure to perform well in
what I do. I am still finding a way to do well in my job without
giving myself pressure," she said.
"It's very hard, but I'm always finding ways to do that. It comes
with maturity."
In C.L.I.F. 3, Rui En reprises her role of Zhijie, an officer in
charge and also the wife of fellow policeman Lantian (Li
Nanxing).
Being able to act opposite Li again was an experience Rui En
likened to coming home.
She said: "I've had a lot of chemistry with Li since the day we
met. We went from not knowing each other at all to feeling really
comfortable with each other. I am very lucky to have a partner like
that."
Their pairing on C.L.I.F. 2 earned her a nomination for this year's
Favourite Onscreen Couple at the Star Awards.
The star is also nominated in the same category for her roles
opposite actors Qi Yuwu, in The Dream Makers, and Romeo Tan in
Sudden.
