红星大奖红地毯造型 ● 媒体投选 李南星最帅 郑惠玉最美

 

前晚的红星大奖红地毯,是最后一次在加利谷山举行。艺人们所穿的服装可看出“海外派”和“本地派”的差别。

本地艺人服装少惊喜

受邀的海外嘉宾穿着比较大胆搞怪,长短各异,反观本地艺人方面,女艺人都以长礼服出场,男艺人除了王禄江及李南星的薄荷色和白色西装,其他男艺人几乎以深蓝、黑色套装出席,惊喜不大。

针对前天的红地毯,本报做了一项趣味投选,邀请七家媒体记者,包括本报记者一起票选出女艺人中谁穿得最美丽、最性感、最出位、最乏味及最具个人特色,而男艺人中谁最帅气。每名记者可在每个选项选出最多两名艺人,名字也可重复。

除了本报,参与投选的有《联合晚报》《新明日报》《优1周》《ICON风华》《海峡时报》及《亚洲新闻台》(Channelnewsasia)。

最美丽服装:

郑惠玉6票,林湘萍3票,沈惠怡1票,欧萱1票

果然姜是老的辣。一踏上红地毯,郑惠玉那套白色配搭紫花卉礼服就让现场媒体赞叹不已。支持她的记者认为,这套礼服衬托阿姐的高贵大方,也适合她的年龄。有记者就说,虽然郑惠玉没有露太多,但让人眼前一亮。沈惠怡黑色礼服则穿得典雅,林湘萍的银色花边长裙则让她散发迷人气质。

 

最性感服装:

刘子绚2票,白薇秀2票,马艺瑄2票,林慧玲1票,郭书瑶(瑶瑶) 1票

性感不一定要露。投票给刘子绚的记者认为,黑色透视礼服若隐若现,给人“穿很少”的错觉。马艺瑄虽然全程“陪跑”,但是深V加上高衩的雪白色礼服,却吸引媒体记者的注意。“带球”的白薇秀和老公戚玉武甜蜜走红地毯,全程笑容满面,凭着露背紫色礼服流露出不一样的性感。瑶瑶的E奶“事业线”没有“杀很大”,仅获一票。

 

最出位服装:

Ella(陈嘉桦)2票,郑惠玉2票,欧萱 、赖怡玲、草蜢、黄碧仁、白薇秀1票

项目只限女艺人,抢眼的香港男团草蜢只好淘汰。两名记者认为,Ella(陈嘉桦)的俏皮短裤装虽然不隆重,但胜在她懂得突出自身优点,在红地毯耍宝搞笑,抢尽风头十分出位。两位超级红星欧萱 、赖怡玲一橘一红搭配非常亮眼,“出位”指数满分!

 

最乏味服装:

林慧玲2票,陈欣淇、陈丽萍、洪慧芳1票

获得“最佳女主角奖”的林慧玲前天在颁奖礼上风光得奖,但在红地毯情况却恰恰相反。刚踏上红地毯不久,林慧玲不知是高跟鞋太高,还是白色礼服太“累赘”,就跌了一跤,这套白色礼服也不受记者欢迎,认为普通没新意,发型也不适宜。陈欣淇的森林绿礼服也稍显老气,突显不出年轻人的朝气蓬勃。

最具个人特色服装:

Ella(陈嘉桦)4票,莫文蔚3票,莎莎1票,林湘萍1票

这个奖非属Ella不可,不需多说,四名记者一致认为,服装彰显她的俏皮疯癫性格。获得三票的莫文蔚也与众不同,是唯一一名以裤装亮相的女艺人,帅气之余散发自信与美丽。谁说女艺人走红地毯一定要穿长裙礼服出席?

最帅气服装:

李南星4票,徐彬、冯伟衷、包勋评、李国煌、王禄江、辰亦儒、郑伊健、方展发、陈鸿宇及陈泂江1票

对于男艺人的帅气服装,记者们各有所好,人选很多,但最终阿哥李南星以4票胜出。有记者指出,李南星的服装是万黑丛中一点“白”,有白马王子的感觉。辰亦儒的横线条米色西装及直线条裤子,看似不协调却意外顺眼,也让人印象深刻。“八公子”的徐彬和冯伟衷的西装中规中矩,但胜在站出来多少有些公子风范。

Not marketable, not versatile, no overseas exposure, no substance, no looks!

Artistes who make it in sg already difficult to make it big in overseas,  >>> lnx, zoe tay

 those who cant make it in sg to think that they can succeed in china/Taiwan >>> ix, shaun, yaodong, andi, phylis etc

How do you explain Chris/Fann? They use different method from those you mentioned to succeed in Taiwan?

Who are you comparing to? To the older generation of zoe/lnx or to the younger generation of andie/shaun?

Its easier to break into overseas market in the 90s, because singapore dramas were at its peak and china/tw dramas were average and their audiences look at sg dramas then like how we see china/tw dramas now. 

Fann/chris got their break because of that. They wouldn't crack into china/tw market if they try now.

Since mention TVB....i suddenly remember many yrs ago...Kit Chan once acted in Healing hands 2. I know not main lead...at least not cameo...esp got same size pic in poster. And i know she is more of singer than actor n this is an one off thing. But still better than ppl eg maybe Ann Kok.

About chris and fann...Fann did go into China market much earlier...but still that time....spore dramas were already lagging behind china productions. I feel her good looks helped...esp in period or fantasy dramas.

Chris only went into taiwan last few years...when not young-looking...but having a good agency and acting skills which ppl can see...helps. 

I doubt Li nanxing will achieve as much as him.

Overall foreigners still might need abit more than locals in that respective market...eg luck besides the abovementioned.

男艺人·三十岁后才吃香。他们散发浓郁的成熟味, 刚刚是一般少女/轻熟女,甚至妈妈级最痴迷的。 明顺, 明伦 -刚刚好 (对不起, 我对有胡须/胡渣的男人情有独中)。

反观来看, 三十岁后的女人就像黄花-无人问津。欧萱/瑞恩都三十老几了, 还在挤眉弄眼, 嬉皮笑脸 -实在看不下去。

志在四方2 网罗各路英雄豪杰,但是故事太散, 枝节太多了-没有中心。  几个年轻演员如方伟杰(演回自己), 陈小生(不用讲了)。  黄碧仁 - 好有架势。 陈小妹演技有待磨练。其他, 都算称职吧。

红星大奖红地毯造型 ● 媒体投选 李南星最帅 郑惠玉最美

 

前晚的红星大奖红地毯,是最后一次在加利谷山举行。艺人们所穿的服装可看出“海外派”和“本地派”的差别。

本地艺人服装少惊喜

受邀的海外嘉宾穿着比较大胆搞怪,长短各异,反观本地艺人方面,女艺人都以长礼服出场,男艺人除了王禄江及李南星的薄荷色和白色西装,其他男艺人几乎以深蓝、黑色套装出席,惊喜不大。

针对前天的红地毯,本报做了一项趣味投选,邀请七家媒体记者,包括本报记者一起票选出女艺人中谁穿得最美丽、最性感、最出位、最乏味及最具个人特色,而男艺人中谁最帅气。每名记者可在每个选项选出最多两名艺人,名字也可重复。

除了本报,参与投选的有《联合晚报》《新明日报》《优1周》《ICON风华》《海峡时报》及《亚洲新闻台》(Channelnewsasia)

最美丽服装:

  1. 郑惠玉6票,林湘萍3票,沈惠怡1票,欧萱1票
  2. 果然姜是老的辣。一踏上红地毯,郑惠玉那套白色配搭紫花卉礼服就让现场媒体赞叹不已。支持她的记者认为,这套礼服衬托阿姐的高贵大方,也适合她的年龄。有记者就说,虽然郑惠玉没有露太多,但让人眼前一亮。沈惠怡黑色礼服则穿得典雅,林湘萍的银色花边长裙则让她散发迷人气质。
  3.  
  4. 最性感服装:

  6. 性感不一定要露。投票给刘子绚的记者认为,黑色透视礼服若隐若现,给人“穿很少”的错觉。马艺瑄虽然全程“陪跑”,但是深V加上高衩的雪白色礼服,却吸引媒体记者的注意。“带球”的白薇秀和老公戚玉武甜蜜走红地毯,全程笑容满面,凭着露背紫色礼服流露出不一样的性感。瑶瑶的E奶“事业线”没有“杀很大”,仅获一票。
  7.  
  8. 最出位服装:
  9. Ella(陈嘉桦)2票,郑惠玉2票,欧萱 、赖怡玲、草蜢、黄碧仁、白薇秀1票
  10. 项目只限女艺人,抢眼的香港男团草蜢只好淘汰。两名记者认为,Ella(陈嘉桦)的俏皮短裤装虽然不隆重,但胜在她懂得突出自身优点,在红地毯耍宝搞笑,抢尽风头十分出位。两位超级红星欧萱 、赖怡玲一橘一红搭配非常亮眼,“出位”指数满分!
  11.  
  12. 最乏味服装:
  13. 林慧玲2票,陈欣淇、陈丽萍、洪慧芳1票
  14. 获得“最佳女主角奖”的林慧玲前天在颁奖礼上风光得奖,但在红地毯情况却恰恰相反。刚踏上红地毯不久,林慧玲不知是高跟鞋太高,还是白色礼服太“累赘”,就跌了一跤,这套白色礼服也不受记者欢迎,认为普通没新意,发型也不适宜。陈欣淇的森林绿礼服也稍显老气,突显不出年轻人的朝气蓬勃。
  15. 最具个人特色服装:
  16. Ella(陈嘉桦)4票,莫文蔚3票,莎莎1票,林湘萍1票
  17. 这个奖非属Ella不可,不需多说,四名记者一致认为,服装彰显她的俏皮疯癫性格。获得三票的莫文蔚也与众不同,是唯一一名以裤装亮相的女艺人,帅气之余散发自信与美丽。谁说女艺人走红地毯一定要穿长裙礼服出席?
  18. 最帅气服装:
  19. 李南星4票,徐彬、冯伟衷、包勋评、李国煌、王禄江、辰亦儒、郑伊健、方展发、陈鸿宇及陈泂江1票
  20. 对于男艺人的帅气服装,记者们各有所好,人选很多,但最终阿哥李南星以4票胜出。有记者指出,李南星的服装是万黑丛中一点“白”,有白马王子的感觉。辰亦儒的横线条米色西装及直线条裤子,看似不协调却意外顺眼,也让人印象深刻。“八公子”的徐彬和冯伟衷的西装中规中矩,但胜在站出来多少有些公子风范。

 

服装, not the person.

Fann was also very popular in Taiwan in the late 90s due to her albums.  A good example is Shopping...

%E8%8C%83%E6%96%87%E8%8A%B3-%E9%80%9B%E8

Wow, used to have this album... very nice and trendy at the time.  Even now it's still trendy to me.  Haha.  I'm sure it's still lying at my old home...

He must be cursing whoever who suggested this, getting a duck to sing.

He has only himself to blame for getting on board this ill-fated, doomed-to-fail-right-from-the-start disaster of a project.

TCS armtwisted Sony Music Singapore and Dick Lee into producing and releasing this 5-track EP for the Queen.

The publicity campaign even had a sneaky twist - it said 15,000 LIMITED-EDITION copies were produced.

They labelled the EP limited-edition only because they knew the EP was unlikely to sell beyond 15,000.

(Rough guide to album sales figures in the late 90s:

1. Fann Wong's Fanntasy sold 30,000 in Singapore

2. I Live Alone sold 20,000 in Singapore

3. Mavis Hee and Kit's albums sold average of 25,000 to 30,000

4. Mavis Fan,Tarcy Su - about 15,000 to 20,000)

But what happened?

In the end the EP didn't even sell well.  No actual figures were released but the EP definitely didn't sell out.

A few months later stacks of the EP were seen languishing in the clearance bin of the former HMV of Heeren, selling for $1 each.

Zoe Tay is the 'Ah Jie' indeed!

TCS and Sony Singapore can't be bothered to buy up Lao Zoe's EPs from HMV Heeren.

Neither does present-day MediaCorp have the financial capability to invest in CGI to iron out old hag Zoe's wrinkles.

What to do?  That's why the only thing Lao Zoe can do is 搏版面搞新闻,get her lackeys to call her the Queen again and again.

She is totally irrelevant to local showbiz, can't act, can't sing, can't sell albums, no overseas exposure, no marketability, no substance in speaking... the list goes on.

Really if I' m Zoe, I will harvest/sapu  all the copies from the CD shop...

It should not be more $500 if each copy is sold at $1, supposing the number of copies in the trash bins/lelong bins is 500 copies.   

 

 I remember back in the early 80s in Hong Kong.  An album is deemed "un-saleable" after 3 to 6 months.  I bought quite a number of older vinyls then.  They are still in my storeroom - 徐小凤的“顺流逆流”, Danny 的“精选”, 还有 70 年代的”郑少秋, 罗文唱的书剑“   太多了。

Aiyah, some of her fans will buy the CD at $18.99 initially.

She has the legions of fans...

1998年10月30日,为了纪念郑惠玉在新视10年的光辉岁月,新力唱片公司为她推出了专辑《十分郑惠玉》(EP)。在短短1个多月,这张专辑已卖出2万张,成绩不俗。

 

Can someone please correct the false info in her Baidu article which says she sold more than 20,000 copies of her EP?
