Felicia decides to be a busker 陈靓瑄改行当街头艺人

Photobucket

A familiar face was spotted along the streets of Orchard Road yesterday!

Complete with an electric guitar and boom boxes, Felicia Chin rocked out with knee-high leather boots and loads of metal studs!

Her band members? Like the best pop groups out there, there’s one member for every type of fan imaginable! Featuring…back-up singer Shaun Chen, and back-up dancer HK veteran 夏雨! (Aunties and 熟女s beware)

Photobucket

Nah, you’re definitely not going to bump into this motley crew of a band the next time you walk down Orchard Road, because this is a scene for upcoming drama Love Thy Neighbour 四个门牌一个梦!

In this scene, Wang Tian Hu (played by Felicia) busks to raise money for her neighbour Xian He (played by 孔祥德 Ah Tak) when his family lands in dire straits. The production crew has even prepared a fake busker’s permit for her! (Yes, because it’s important to show the proper processes, even when we’re acting!)

Photobucket

The transformation to a rocker is not easy. Other than donning tight black leather in the sweltering weather, there is of course eyeliner in abundance…

Photobucket

Felicia even cut her finger practising for this scene! It’s a little healed now, but there was a really deep abrasion before.

Photobucket

All this while, her co-star is enjoying an iced coffee in the shade… (Ok lah don’t blame Shaun, he did offer her a sip.)

Photobucket

He even sniggers at Felicia’s 陶醉 expression when she was jumping and lip-synching with all her heart!

Photobucket

In the show, despite her garang personality, Tian Hu is mortally afraid of performing in front of a crowd! Her father 王大发 (played by Xia Yu) brings her a mask to help with her stage fright!

Photobucket

Her amateur attempt still brings in a large crowd! Most of them are random tourists, who must be wondering why such a large group is staying to watch some girl lip-sync!

Photobucket

Even better, it also brings in loadsa money! (check out the $$ in Xia Yu’s hands haha)

Photobucket

Will you be watching Love Thy Neighbour?
Felicia says “Hell yeah!”

Felicia Chin rockin' at Orchard Road


SINGAPORE: Singapore actress Felicia Chin turned busker for a day while filming a scene for an upcoming Mandarin drama serial "Love Thy Neighbour" on Tuesday along the busy Orchard Road.

Chin, who was in a full black ensemble, completed her rocker chic look with lots of mascara and a red electric guitar.

The actress plays the character 'Wang Tian Hu' who overcomes her stage fright by donning a mask to busk and raise donations for her neighbour.

"At first I didn't think too much about it (busking), but now I feel that it takes a lot of guts to perform along the streets in front of strangers.

"I'll try to forget the surroundings and just be in character," said the cheery actress.

The first-time busker was given the thumbs-up by her co-star Shaun Chen and she might just lend her voice to a song for the drama serial.

"Hopefully after they hear my voice, they will allow me to sing it!" laughed Chin.

"I find it (singing) interesting, but I'll definitely need more training," added the actress.

Chin found the busking experience "liberating" and is looking forward to the day when she could do a full performance by herself.

"It's very fun, I wish that I could really do everything myself.

"If I have the chance one day, why not?" chirped Chin.

The 26 year old seems to share an unusual affinity with Orchard Road.

In the 2004 drama serial "The Champions", Chin ran down the same stretch of road in a bikini alongside Jeanette Aw and Fiona Xie.

Now, she had to busk in front of a crowd.

So which was a more frightening experience?

"I think it's pretty (similar) - the only difference is the amount of clothes that I have (on)!" joked the actress.

陈靓瑄化身rocker 弹吉他手指流血


陈靓瑄一身庞克装扮,现身乌节路唱歌卖艺,引来不少好奇民众目光!

8频道新剧《四个门牌一个梦》如火如荼拍摄中,新传媒前艺人陈靓瑄趁着3个月的学校假期,决定投身此剧。

陈靓瑄在剧中饰演王天胡,从小受到父亲王大发(夏雨饰)耳濡目染,继承了他的"优良血统",到处招摇撞骗、骗吃骗喝。

有场戏描述王天胡为了朋友在街头唱歌,卖艺筹款。由于必须在众目睽睽下弹电吉他和唱歌,天胡显得非常紧张,也十分扭捏,甚至一度想落跑。但叶孟(陈泓宇饰)和王大发把天胡追回来,将特地准备的面罩交给她,成功地说服天胡表演。

xinmsn直击拍摄现场,当天(19日)艳阳高照,众演员及工作人员在酷热的天气下,努力进行拍摄。

陈靓瑄一身黑衣打扮,加上铆钉点缀的黑色夹克,引来不少好奇民众的目光,还有不少外国人大赞陈靓瑄漂亮!

陈靓瑄在戏未开始拍摄前,接受xinmsn访问时透露,这是她第一次做这么庞克的装扮。她补充,"最庞克的一次"或许就是之前出席一些活动时曾化过的烟熏浓妆。

问及是否愿意上学时尝试同样装扮,陈靓瑄打量了自己的服饰后,果断地说:"不会!太热了!或许就这件夹克吧!"

陈靓瑄弹吉他忘我 导致受伤

剧中,陈靓瑄饰演的王天胡喜欢电吉他、喜欢唱歌,在家中也有不少弹吉他的戏码。

问她是否有特地去练过吉他,陈靓瑄坦言:"其实吉他是有去练,但是因为时间有限,所以能上的课程也不多。我觉得最重要的是把弹吉他的感觉表现出来。"

那陈靓瑄所谓的"感觉"是什么?

她说:"比较狂野的感觉吧!"

陈靓瑄还分享了第一次拍摄弹吉他的场面时的一段小插曲。

她描述,那一次她弹得太投入,pick虽然掉在地上,但由于不想浪费那个take,因此就不停地弹。结果,她拍完一看才发现,手指竟然受伤流血。


陈靓瑄手指上的伤

不过,喜爱陈靓瑄的影迷大可放心,她的手指已经复原了。

《四个门牌一个梦》从9月27日起,每逢星期一至五,晚上9点,通过8频道播出。
