00:00Because both of us are afraid of ghosts,
00:02we don't dare to share a room.
00:03So, after Huihui went back,
00:06I told her,
00:08Huihui, come to my room and sleep with me.
00:10Then she became my bedmate.
00:19Hello, friends of H1N1.
00:21I'm a new media artist, Chen Lizhen.
00:23Hello, everyone. I'm Chen Huihui.
00:25Hi, H1N1. This is Ferlyn G.
00:31In The Little Mermaid,
00:35I played the role of the landlady of this hotel.
00:39Now you're on the set of Emerald Hill.
00:41I play Zhou Hongyu.
00:43And this set is where I grew up.
00:48In the film, I play the role of Yingjie.
00:52My name is Yingjie.
00:53Yingjie is a mother.
00:57She is the stepmother of Fengjie played by Chen Lizhen.
01:28This is my first time to play the role of a stepmother.
01:30It's a new experience for me.
01:32It's a challenge.
01:34Because we used to think that
01:36stepmothers are very kind.
01:39But this time, I'm not so happy.
01:41I hope the audience can accept it.
01:49I'm very happy.
01:51Because after so many years,
01:53we can come to Malacca to shoot again.
01:55Because I remember that we came to Malacca
01:58to shoot Fengjie when we were together.
02:00After so many years,
02:02I wonder if it was 10 or more years ago
02:06that we came to Malacca again.
02:08So I have so many memories.
02:10So I keep looking for food
02:13and the dishes that we used to eat.
02:17Since 15 to today,
02:20it's just work, filming, and then back to hotel.
02:22And I'll be in the room for the rest of the night.
02:24Because for the first few days,
02:27I started early in the morning at 6.30am
02:29and then I finished late in the night.
02:30So there's not really an opportunity for me to head out yet.
02:35But tonight, I'll be having Peranakan dinner outside.
02:38All my scenes are very heavy.
02:40Emotionally, very heavy.
02:41Physically, very heavy.
02:43I need to be alone for this period of time
02:45because to follow the script,
02:48my relationship with them is not good.
02:51And I do not want to be too close with them
02:53and to be too playful with them on set
02:55because I do want to draw a line
02:57so that I can portray my character a little bit better.
03:05Actually, it's not that bad.
03:06We both like to have fun
03:09and we have the same hobbies.
03:12We both like to play the violin.
03:13So I think when we go back,
03:16we can talk about what happened today
03:20and talk about how I acted today.
03:22Whether I acted well or not.
03:24So I think it's rare.
03:25It's rare to have this encounter.
03:27I told Hui that
03:28when you go back to Singapore,
03:29you will miss me a lot.
03:31I'm not independent.
03:32So when I go abroad to film,
03:35I try to find a partner.
03:37Actually, I have a partner.
03:39But because of Li Zhen,
03:40she thinks that
03:41we are connected in the drama.
03:44She has her partner and I have mine.
03:45If we work together,
03:47it will be very convenient.
03:49We will be in touch.
03:57We had a shoot that day.
03:58It was the first day
04:01when Jun Xiong and Romeo arrived.
04:02So we invited them
04:04to have a small welcome drink.
04:07So to them, it's like a cold tea.
04:10But we secretly know
04:13that it's whiskey.
04:15I think it's because of the actors I worked with.
04:18Because Li Zhen, Tian Wen and I
04:20are like...
04:22We used to play together.
04:25After so many years of acting,
04:27they are very experienced.
04:29So they don't feel like they are acting.
04:32They are really fun.
04:34They enjoy the role
04:36very much.
04:38I think it's unforgettable.
04:40Thank you, Shouwan's friends.
04:42You must remember
04:43that in 2025,
04:44The Little Mermaid's Emerald Mountain
04:46must support us.
04:48The Little Mermaid is a local drama
04:50that Singaporeans and even foreigners
04:52love to watch.
04:56We have been putting a lot of effort
04:58filming Emerald Hill
04:59and it will be out in 2025.
05:01Hope you will be looking forward to that.
