《我要嫁出去》记者会

林湘萍自认MAN不撒娇 雅慧曾倒追男生

林湘萍自认性格像男生，演艺工作耽误了终身大事；雅慧坦承会撒娇，会搭讪心仪对象，还曾倒追男生！

U频道新剧《我要嫁出去》透过3位女主角（Rainbow、刘喜喜和梁若仙），剖析现代3大典型剩女的故事。而林湘萍饰演的是工作狂刘喜喜，是个忙得没时间兼顾爱情的妇科医生。

日前在记者会上，林湘萍与媒体分享角色时，说到一半情绪激动，转身擦泪，吓坏不少人。她之后告诉xinmsn，看了预告片回想到一些东西，很有感触。

被问及演艺工作是否耽误了终身大事，林湘萍不违言，拍戏的话，比较少有时间去社交或认识新的朋友，有很多同事朋友和她一样都单身。

对于感情与婚姻，林湘萍比之前成熟了，但也更实际。

“这个社会太多变化了，可能现在拥有，不代表以后或一辈子都会拥有。我现在比较现实一点，如果有的话，当然是好事，但经营一段感情，不是容易的事，经营一段婚姻，更是不容易，尤其是家庭有了孩子之后，要有很多妥协。”

几个月前受访时曾透露有交往对象，被问到进展如何，林湘萍表示不方便说，等有比较确定的答案再讲。

至于日后恋情公开与否，她认为很多东西都是一个问号，“等我真的嫁出去了再说”。她更不排除闪婚，直呼“感觉对了，就不要考虑那么多”。

和男性朋友互称brother

谈到《我要嫁出去》，林湘萍认为它很真实，应该会让很多女性觉得感同身受，在心中找到3个女主角的成分。

林湘萍笑说，自己和Rainbow一样讲义气，会为朋友出气，但绝对没有那么爱美，不会穿那么多紧身衣服，也不会露事业线。

发电厂Rainbow撒娇功夫一流，很懂得抓住男人的心，林湘萍自叹不如，自称很失败，从没想过要跟别人撒娇，觉得很别扭，看到别的女生撒娇也是受不了。

以前读女校的林湘萍，身旁有很多男性朋友，都是所谓的哥儿们，如张耀栋和陈泓宇，都直接叫她“brother”。

林湘萍透露，她是家中的二姐，从小就给妈妈锻炼，帮忙家事，妈妈还曾跟她说：你本来应该是一个男生的。妈妈过世得早，她就觉得自己有责任保护姐妹。

当记者开玩笑说她可以尝试穿成Rainbow那样，林湘萍大笑了一番，表示：“我怕我露了没人看！”

她表示，曾有人问她是否能女人一点，不要这么强，什么都自己打理，反而该让男生知道她是需要帮忙的。

她补充：“在这一点我还在慢慢学习，会开始觉得可能真的要弱不经风一点点，像古装剧那样。”

雅慧曾倒追过男生

为了戏增肥6公斤，雅慧对腰间肉非常自觉，体验到了角色梁若仙的自卑感。

不过，与梁若仙不同的是，雅慧在感情方面挺有自信，更不介意去搭讪心仪对象，交个朋友。

她表示，以前读中学时曾倒追过男生，频传简讯给对方，还会买东西送他。

如今当了艺人，虽然觉得被拒绝很丢脸，但目前单身的雅慧也没把话说死，觉得要看“对的时机，对的地方，对的”。

她也透露，自己挺会撒娇，但不可能每天都穿得像Rainbow那样，而是靠眼神表达兴趣。

徐鸣杰希望大家对他改观

在剧中，徐鸣杰饰演来自中国的实习护士，被林湘萍角色的贴心感动，展开了追求。

他笑说，第一次“荧幕被吻”献给了偶像林湘萍，虽然只是亲嘴角，也暗爽着。

被问及姐弟恋，徐鸣杰表示不排斥，但毕竟是男生，他要面子，不希望被女生主导。例如，在外头吃饭时，无论如何一定要由他来还钱。

不过，他在现实中倒是没有狂追别人的经验，是个挺被动的人。

徐鸣杰近期接下了几个主持节目，尤其是行脚类的《周末自由行》，让他玩得很开心，也很满足综艺节目所带来的曝光率。

至于表现，徐鸣杰给自己打6分，虽然自认语言能力不错，说起来顺畅，但也自知太吵了。

《才华》至今已两年，徐鸣杰表示：“前两年是我打基础的时候，我还不知道我什么时候可以飞，但我现在可以开始走。”

他盼大家可以对他改观，并透露蛮多人对他有偏见，因为他不会刻意讨好别人，不熟的话也不会跟人说话，就算对方是监制。

目前，徐鸣杰在拍摄情境剧《阿兵新传》，表示羡慕本地男生当兵，认为那是男生变成男人的经历。

刘子绚为角色瘦身大秀性感

《我要嫁出去》中，刘子绚饰演性感风骚讲义气的红娘公司老板Rainbow。她的角色十分有自信，也很了解男人，不是穿紧身裙，就是露出事业线，甚至还穿着比基尼打排球。

她透露，那场戏原本不需要她脱，只是穿着背心打排球，但导演下雨停工回去看录影后，认为效果不够好，希望能加强，那也就是要她脱。

刘子绚坦言：“开始时我也有一些反抗，因为刚开拍不久，我有一些微胖，有小肚腩，脱的话不是侮辱观众眼睛吗？”

所以，导演给了刘子绚一个月瘦身，才续拍那场戏。虽然不是首次穿着比基尼出现在荧幕上，但刘子绚笑说以前很瘦，拍《我要嫁出去》前的一部戏，穿的衣服比较宽松，也吃得比较多，所以养了个小肚腩。

她补充，为了这部戏已经有积极瘦身，只是没想到要露这么多。

至于效果是否达到，刘子绚表示，导演应该满意，她也感到OK，'营造不一样的感觉，牺牲是值得的，大家看到的是不一样的我'。

自嘲太笨，向角色学习

Rainbow是剧中的发电厂，除了故意装柔弱，引来男人疼惜，连女生好友也不放过，会靠撒娇得到想要的。

刘子绚表示，她这次投入了200%，因为对她来说，或许骚一点就感觉够了，但对其他人来说，却仍不到位。她也透露，在塑造Rainbow这个角色时，从好友王爱玲身上取到灵感。

虽然性格上与Rainbow明显不同，刘子绚倒是体会了她的好。

“我觉得，这样的女生其实还真很好用，很方便。（是要跟角色学习？）对，其实很多事情，男生很好骗，只要衣服穿少一点，性感一点，可能工作起来就方便一点。”

她笑着补充：“觉得自己以前太笨了啦。”

与林湘萍雅慧玩超开

Rainbow在剧中有两位同住个屋檐下的好姐妹，分别由林湘萍和雅慧饰演。由于有不少3人的友情戏，朝夕相处之下，3人戏外也成了好朋友。

刘子绚表示，3人从没合作过，不知对方底线如何，但之后才发现她们是同一类的人，性格直接不扭捏，都“玩得超开，可以很没有形象”。

至于她们都会玩些什么，刘子绚笑称那是限制级的，不能说。但她们都会扮鬼脸，做很丑的东西，并拍下来，而且绝对不能外流，否则就“完蛋，3个都别想嫁”。

与以前和李铭顺拍戏不同，由于3人都是女生，有很多共同话题，所以没在一起拍戏时，刘子绚会想念另两人。她表示，自己不太主动，不积极，和郭舒贤会成为好友，也是因为之前拍戏长期相处。

刘子绚坦言：“可能是人长大了，都会比较懒，懒得去交集，重新去认识一个人的背景，去熟悉一个人。不是说很难，是自己不愿意去做那个举动......知心的朋友，都是刚入行，年轻时比较容易交。”

在剧中，刘子绚先是爱上王沺裁，之后才遇到了方展发。刘子绚大赞王沺裁风趣，还称'他是个不错的对象，如果他也喜欢我'，而方展发则是个用情很深的人。

接下来，刘子绚将筹备自己的电影，剧本已进入最后修改阶段，希望能自导自演，今年内开拍。

Jesseca Liu & Ya Hui: Career first, love later

When we got the three leading actresses, Jesseca Liu, Yvonne Lim and Ya Hui, from upcoming ChU drama series,Marry Me, to pick a character that best represents the state of their current (and almost nonexistent) love lives, the trio uncannily shared the same choice – Liu Xixi, a successful career woman and workaholic with no time for love.

And the reason behind it? The long working hours and lack of time to date and meet people beyond their small social circles in showbiz, the girls concluded with slight lament during their separate interviews with xinmsn.

In an all-too-relatable TV drama, these three actresses each play a character that falls under three broad categories of women in their 20s, 30s and 40s and the relationship problems they face today. Jesseca plays Rainbow, an independent and overly confident singleton, Yvonne plays Xixi, a workaholic who tends to neglect everything in life but work, and Ya Hui plays Liang Ruo Shan, an obese radio deejay who suffers from low self-esteem when it comes to men.

A WaWa Pictures’ production that’s set to air in 2013,Marry Mewill be a diversion from the production house’s usual heavy-handed and serious drama offerings likeGame PlanandThe Winning Hand. And for those secretly hoping for WaWa to put an end to their Chris and Jesseca “TV” love line formula, rest assured, the latter will be romancing a new man, or rather, a few men in this show and Chris ain’t one of them.

Since the plot is centered on the show’s leading ladies, we spoke to the three female leads to find out more about their personal love secrets. Read on below to find out who’s dating, who’s single, and whose parents are dying for her to get hitched – for real.

The singleton who reckons it’s time to be proactive when it comes to love: Jesseca Liu

The statuesque actress will finally step away from her usual docile and girl-next-door roles to play a sexy, flirtatious and coquettish character forMarry Me, and we aren’t the only ones excited about the change. Jesseca also expressed her enthusiasm for her new role during the interview and piped that she can’t wait to watch the end product.

Not worried that the audience might be turned off by a scheming and sultry Rainbow, Jesseca is instead worried “about not doing the character justice.”

“Although she is an opportunist, she has her cute sides as well. Yes, I’m looking forward to achieving a breakthrough with this role too. When I’m acting, I’d ask those around me if I delivered a good job and portrayed the character well. So far it’s been good.”

The actress lost close to 3kg to better fit into her role’s figure-hugging and sexy wardrobe. When we got her to compare her outlook on love with that of Rainbow’s, Jesseca pointed out with a laugh, “She has a lot more choices [than me], too many choices in fact.”

The lanky Langkawi star added, “She schemes and resorts to a lot of underhanded tactics to get the guy and I’m a sensitive and thin-skinned person and won’t do such things. Maybe it’s due to the work environment too that limits one’s social circle. But Rainbow creates plenty of opportunities for her and the men and that’s something that I’m lacking in.”

The one who’s dating someone in real life: Yvonne Lim

Having been in showbiz for more than a decade, Yvonne has been through a fair share of failed relationships that didn’t work out due to conflicting lifestyles, busy work schedules, and more. Currently dating someone now, the tightlipped actress would reveal nothing [on her new relationship] except for the fact that she and her current beau have “known each other for the past few years”.　Counting responsibility, kindness, and a great sense of humour as her most important criterion when it comes to her ideal man, this role was an awakening call for Yvonne, well sort of, she says. The 36-year-old reflected on the busy state of her jet-setting life and felt the urge to “spend more time to work on her relationship with the boyfriend and things like that,” after reading the script for the show.

“Cos I’m always traveling and it’s not easy to maintain a relationship. Sometimes you know, it’s very difficult for women. For men you just work on your career and talk about relationships later. For us, we have a lot more emotional things in our hearts to deal with. It’s hard to have a balance,” the actress added.

The one whose parents are pressing for her to settle down soon: Ya Hui

She’s only 25 this year but Ya Hui’s mum has been nagging for the actress to “find a guy and settle down soon”. Having piled on 5kg for this role, the actress who looks a tad fleshier than before, attributes her mum’s sense of urgency to her desire for grandkids. “She would tell me to get married soon so that she can take care of my kids for me. I think they just want to see me marry off to a good guy. Parents are all like that. But there’s no one [now]…”

With her mum on the constant lookout for potential boyfriends, the exasperated actress lets on, “My mum will take note of news anchors and reporters and tell me this one’s good looking, this one looks pretty decent and push for me to befriend them!“

Mum’s constant nagging could be one reason why close celeb buddies like Rebecca Lim has tried to matchmake her with their guy pals. “Rebecca is super funny! At the 30th Drama Anniversary show, she said to me ‘Ai Ai (their nicknames for one another), can I intro you to one of my friends?’ She’s worried that I can’t get married!” exclaimed Ya Hui, laughing.

Pierre Png: I will be a good dad

（The Marry Me actor2 shares his thoughts on adoption, parenting, and the most romantic thing he’s ever done for a girl.）

Pierre Png says he will make a good dad, just like his own “cool” father was to him as a child. The MediaCorp actor2 cannot wait to start a family, but he and his wife, Andrea De Cruz, are still sitting on plans to adopt as they’re waiting for the right moment.

“Adoption is a very sensitive and serious decision to make,” he told xinmsn in an interview following the press conference for Channel U’sMarry Me, held at a picturesque cafe in Bishan Park. “You’re changing someone’s life, including your own. It’s not just something you can do just because you ‘feel good’.”

“Right now we’re just going with the flow. But if a baby magically appears on our doorstep one day, then we’ll take it as a sign from God,” Pierre joked.

Pierre and Andrea are unlikely to conceive as Andrea is on anti-rejection medication after an organ transplant in 2002. The actress suffered from liver failure after taking slimming pills, but was pulled from the brink of death when Pierre donated part of his own liver to her.

When asked what kind of parent he’d make, Pierre declared confidently, “I think I will be a damn good dad,” and a very long-winded one, he added.

“I’d use the same old tactic as my dad, who could spend up to three hours patiently talking me out of misbehaving. He’s a very cool guy so I’d use his methods to bring up my own kids.” As for Andrea as a mother, Pierre said she would definitely be the “good cop” to his “bad cop”.

While Pierre is happily hitched in real life, he plays a lovestruck cab driver and singer who tries to woo the seductive Rainbow (Jesseca Liu) with all kinds of romantic gestures inMarry Me. However, Pierre admits he’s never done anything like his character does to win a girl’s heart.

“The most ‘romantic’ thing I’ve ever done for a girl happened in primary school,” he shared. “I painstakingly carved her name into a piece of chalk and gave it to her with a note saying ‘Let me know if I should carve my name on the other side’.”

Thankfully, he toned down on the cheesy antics during his dating days with Andrea and just treated her like a princess. “No matter how tired I was, I would pick her up from her night shift and bring her out to eat. I even remember cracking crab shells for her and feeding her the meat!”

So, how did these lovebirds spend Valentine’s Day? As cliché as it is, Pierre told us that “everyday is like Valentine’s Day” to them. “It sounds corny, but after what we’ve been through, each day is a blessing.”

With all this talk of marriage and romance, we seized this opportunity to ask Pierre if he had any idea if Jesseca, a good friend of his, was dating Ch8 actor2 Zhang Zhenhuan, as reported in 8 DAYS (the MediaCorp princess herself remains tight-lipped on the situation). Pierre seemed genuinely confused, but said that if it were true, people should give them their own space.

He also said he’d try to get the facts from Jesseca and relay them to us – butpsst, Pierre, we’ve yet to hear from you!
