Jeanette Aw in The Little Nyonya

17 April 2009

SINGAPORE : MediaCorp's hit Chinese language drama, "The Little Nyonya", raked in massive ratings to become the most watched Channel 8 drama in the past 15 years so it’s no surprise that the series swept the Star Award nominations, landing a whopping 16 nods, with at least two representatives in each of the acting categories as well as Best Drama.

But come April 26, all eyes will be on lead actress Jeanette Aw who has been tipped to win the Best Actress trophy. Aw is no stranger to this category - she snagged a nomination for her breakthrough role as the naïve and innocent Mo Jing Jing in long-running drama “Holland V” in 2003 and then picked up another nod for her role as a dedicated social worker in “A Child’s Hope 2” in 2004.

“I’m really happy about my nomination because ‘Little Nyonya' is my biggest role to date,” said the modest actress, who played dual roles as the lead character Yue Niang and her mute mother Ju Xiang in the series.

“For ‘Little Nyonya’, it was a challenge because I had two roles and one of which was deaf and mute, and that in itself was a huge challenge because I think it is not easy to portray a character to deliver emotions only by means of gestures instead of dialogue.”

Her co-star Joanne Peh, who has also garnered a Best Actress nomination for her role in the drama, agrees and thinks that this will give Aw an edge over other nominees.

The two ‘nyonyas’ are up against Felicia Chin (The Golden Path), Fann Wong (The Defining Moment) and veteran actress Chen Liping who scored two Best Actress nominations this year (Just in Singapore and The Golden Path).

So what does Aw think of her chances?

“I’m just happy to be nominated and I don’t want to think too much about it because ultimately it’s not within my control but it is a big encouragement,” she said.

Star Awards 2009 will be telecast ‘live’ on Sunday, April 26, at 7pm on Channel 8.

Jeanette Aw presents her first time singing on stage

Xin.sg - Saturday, May 16



Jeanette Aw may be the most gracious dancer and Dai Yang Tian the most serious actor. However, the limelight would fall naturally on the three "Nyonya aunties" played by Chen Tai Ming, Huang Jiong Yao and Ben Yeo, as they sashay on stage for their drag performance in the upcoming musical The Peranakan ball.

The mega television production The Little Nyonya took the local audience by storm. Attempting to create another wave of Nyonya craze with the drama inspired musical, The Peranakan Ball, the script writer of the play explained that the foundation of this musical stems from the classic scenes from the drama. However, the female lead differs from the drama, and instead tells a Cinderella tale about a lowly maid with high aspirations working in a rich family.

The plot begins within the richest household in town, where Chor Chor Tan yearns to find an ideal lifetime partner for her beloved grandson Philip Tan (played by Dai Yang Tian). With that, she decides to hold a ball and seeks the help of Yue Niang (played by Xiang yun) to help out with the preparation. Yue Niang empathizes with Bee Tin (played by Jeanette Aw), who is the maid of the household. The moment she meets her, she feels an affinity with Bee Tin as she reminds her of her young self. She then imparts her fine culinary skills to Bee Tin, hoping to help her gain attention of Philip at the ball.

Besides Aw, Dai and Xiang who acted in the drama serial, the rest of the cast includes Ann Kok, Chen Tai Ming, Ben Yeo, Huang Jiong Yao and Yang Jia Ying. Singer of Little Nyonya theme song, Olivia Ong is also invited to present the song live during the play.

Amongst all the actors, who've had to sing and dance on stage, Aw with her dance background has the best moves. However, having graduated from university for seven to eight years, where she majored in Theatre Studies, Aw could not help but feel nervous when performing on stage. Furthermore, The Peranakan Ball is a musical and is different from the usual play productions she has participated in before.

The director of the musical said that on-stage play is very different from drama serial, it is a live show thus does not allow any NG (no good shots) or second takes.

"I feel that the hardest part is to put everything together -- the actors need to dance and sing at the same time. To remember the dance steps and lyrics, you need to keep on practicing, or else everything will be in a mess," the director said.

The pressure is just as intense on the male lead as Dai explains, "I have zero experience when it comes to dancing or acting in a musical. I've just sang all the songs today, and it is really a challenge for me. I definitely need more time to practice before I can handle them. However, the whole experience is kind of fun, from the songs, to the directing and acting, I can say that the musical is really creative. To me, it's like I'm attending a class, its fun."

Having seen Dai's performance at the Star Search programme in China earlier on online, one cannot deny that there is still room for improvement with his singing. His dancing skills also pale in comparison when standing on the same stage with Aw. Knowing his shortcomings, Dai is putting in extra effort to improve, hoping to achieve better performance during the debut musical.

At least, Dai need not face the pressure of acting the same role as in Little Nyonya. Instead, he acts as a Baba, differing greatly from his Japanese character in the drama serial. With that, Dai felt as if he had switched identity with Pierre Png, who acted as a Baba in Little Nyonya.

Since the musical depicts a Peranakan Cinderella story, the audience may get curious if the two love birds would have any intimate scenes on stage?

"That we have to keep it a secret," answered Aw cheekily. Dai, standing beside her agreed and took the chance to ask the audience to attend the musical and find out themselves.

Jeanette Aw overjoyed at the first period drama experience

Xin.sg - Thursday, May 21



With an intense interest in period dramas, Jeanette Aw was overjoyed to learn about her casting in Shaolin Warrior, a Singapore-China collaborative action drama. Aw also found her role, Sun Qinghai, a vicious innkeeper, to be a challenging one.

Set in the Ming dynasty, the film made in Jiangsu marked Aw's first drama filmed in China. At the drama press conference, she revealed that she had a great time during filming, but the cold biting winds of the winter season was a headache for her.

"I cannot tolerate cold weather. When we first started on the drama, it was the beginning of winter; though the temperature has not hit below zero degrees Celsius, the strong winds were exceptionally chilly, especially at night. My costumes were rather thin and I could only wear more layers inside, but still I cannot wear clothes with high necklines because my costumes have low necklines. Whenever the director shouted for a cut, I would hurry to get my thermal bag."

The rest of the crew seemed more adjustable to the low temperature, even Christopher Lee, the only other local actor on set. As her senior, Aw said Lee took special care of her and would lend his thick woolen jacket whenever he saw her shivering.

Since The Little Nyonya ended, many audiences were looking forward to Aw's new drama. Though she did not reveal any concrete plans, Aw said she hoped to take part in more overseas productions given the chance, especially in roles that involve action.

Aw also shared interesting memories of being in the drama, like when the crew laughed at her when she held the dagger to threaten Lee in one scene. Her manager also had to beg the airline company to make boarding arrangements when she almost missed a flight due to a delayed filming schedule.
Shaolin Warrior is now on Channel 8, every weekday at 7pm.

Jeanette Aw and Dai Yangtian 'Together' again
By Olivia Siong | Posted: 14 August 2009



SINGAPORE : It seems like every other drama that appears on Channel 8 these days is a ‘blockbuster’.

While it might be a tad difficult to pinpoint what exact quality is required to join the high and mighty drama club of ‘blockbusters’, one thing that does seem to help is a show’s star studded cast.

So, are good looking onscreen couple Jeanette Aw and Dai Yangtian, feeling the pressure of leading upcoming year end Channel 8 blockbuster drama, “Together”, which is touted to succeed last year’s runaway hit, “The Little Nyonya”?

“I would say that a blockbuster would be additional stress, because people will expect a lot more, but I’m all for it. I hope I’ll be able to meet expectations!” said Aw, who was also played the lead role in “The Little Nyonya”.

“I don’t feel stressed, I see it as an opportunity that I’ve been given [by MediaCorp], and I hope to make the best of it. There’s no stress,” said Dai, who was dressed in a self-professed “head turning” bright green bell-bottom suit.

Channelnewsasia.com found out what’s so different about this blast to the past drama, which tells a story of six friends in Singapore’s post-independence era.

No, Jeanette Aw’s not Yueniang again

“Actually I would think she’s a very simple girl, she’s down to earth, subsequently because of her father’s gambling debts she has to be a bar girl, to pay off all his debts and actually help him get out of trouble,” said Aw, describing her latest character, Yao Jianhong.

Sounds an awful lot like Aw’s Star Award nominated character Yueniang in “The Little Nyonya”, you say? Well, you’re not the only one.

“A lot of people actually do think that [Yueniang and Yao Jianhong sound similar], because they’re both long suffering and well, they go through a lot of hardships, but essentially they’re still quite different,” said Aw, who also revealed she’ll be putting on her waltz and cha-cha dancing shoes for this drama.

“To me this is going to be another big challenge, as you said do you think it’s going to be very similar to Yueniang? I don’t want to deliver another performance where they all say, ‘Ah! She’s just Yueninang!’

“Like for Jianhong, who is able to sacrifice everything for her family, it’s more like women of that time thinking in such a way that they would just go with the decision made by their family, whereas Yueniang would defy and fight for what she wants… I would consider her fighting for women’s rights,” continued Aw.

The 30-year-old actress who also professes to believe in “women’s rights, equality and women having a say”, revealed that her modern mindset was initially a barrier in her portraying this meek and submissive character.

In fact, Aw admitted that she “felt so sad” and cried while listening to the plight of older ladies who had lived through the 1960s to 1990s, while researching for the show.

With so much emotion and effort, will this finally be the role that gets Aw the elusive Best Actress Star Award that barely slipped through her fingers earlier this year?

“I just do my best for all my dramas, of course as an actress for whatever drama that I do, I always do my best so that there’s a chance!” giggled Aw.
Dai Yangtian is Jeannette Aw’s “hubby”?

Now, playing lovers for a third time in two years - they also starred together in “The Peranakan Ball”, a stage musical spin-off from “The Little Nyonya” - Dai who admittedly said he and Aw were slightly awkward around each other initially, have obviously come a long way.

“Our chemistry is definitely a lot better,” said Dai who also added he has now no qualms about putting his arm around the petite Aw, “We’re entering a new phase, our communication is better.”

Aw, too, even wrote in her blog that she even calls Dai “hubby” after the production crew started referring to them as husband and wife after filming had begun.

But, Aw is not the only woman in Dai’s life, at least not in the show.
Dai’s character Ling Xiaobei has two other “pretty” women, played by Eelyn Kok and newcomer Kola Zhou, falling for him.

Though Dai, 25, is quick to add that despite the “honour” of being surrounded by beautiful women, his character still only has eyes for Aw, a quality which he admires about the character, and which he adds, is similar to himself in real life.

Might Dai be referring to a certain Miss Ann Kok whom he’s rumoured to be dating?

“I don’t know whether it’s from the Chinese traditions or other factors… but whether it’s having the concentration [to focus on just one thing] for work or relationships, I think I have that,” said Dai.

With major love triangles and crazy twists and turns, will this blockbuster be a hit (a la “The Little Nyonya”), or a miss (like the overly dramatic “The Ultimatum”)? Judge for yourself, when “Together” airs on Channel 8 this November.

Qi Yuwu and Jeanette Aw hope to work with each other again



15 October 2009

Last year’s blockbuster Little Nyona made waves in the country and rippled the hearts of many Singaporeans with the tragic love story between Jeanette Aw and Qi Yuwu’s characters. As both Yuwu and Jeanette share sizzling onscreen compatibility and chemistry, it’s no wonder hordes of fans are hoping for them to reunite as onscreen lovers again.

With Jeanette currently caught up with filming for this year’s blockbuster drama series, Together, it will be some time before viewers get to catch the pair appearing in another drama series together. We caught up with the duo during the annual MediaCorp trade show for a quick interview.

“It is very comfortable to be working with Ah Wu (Qi Yuwu), I really like collaborating with him. Hopefully there will be a chance for us to work together in future!” Jeanette expressed.

Yuwu chimed in support and said, “There will be chances!”

When they were asked what kind of love story they would like to portray next, Yuwu laughingly said, “I hope it won’t be so bitter, and painful! The best would be to film a modern drama series and I would not need to do my hair for a few hours!”

“I agree! It’s never a happy ending! I hope that there will be some good news for the next series!” Jeanette enthused.

As Yuwu continued with his requests of making it “happier without the crying scenes”, Jeanette exclaimed, “Would we have to shoot a comedy then? You have high expectations!”

Jeanette refused to pick between Yuwu and Dai Yangtian when she was asked to pick someone she had more chemistry with. “Do not make comparisons! I have known Ah Wu for a longer period of time and we’re more familiar with each other.”
