谁敢当新7公主？7 Princesses in Crisis?
I felt the same way when I first got hold of the names of the hosts for a new show ‘Lodge With Me 我行我宿’–a new travelogue in search of the most beautiful 民宿 (home-stay hotels) in Asia…
It is a travelogue to 4 different countries hosted by some of the 7 Princesses but only 3 on the list are ‘reigning’ princesses – Rui En 瑞恩 (Autumn), Felicia Chin 陈靓瑄 (Spring),
Fiona Xie 谢宛谕 (Winter) and a new name popped out – Kola Zhou Ying 周颖! Like how i-Weekly put it, I am surprised about how fast Kola is joining the company of the princesses…(for those who have no idea about Kola, click video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh0BeZp_wTY)
Kola Zhou Ying was a Star Search finalist and she was last seen in a small role in the local drama ‘乒乓圆Table of Glory’. Her short but small part in that drama caught the attention of the Executive Producer of this year’s anniversary drama ‘当我们同在一起Together’ (debuts 30 November at 9pm) and she was brought back to Singapore to play an important lead role in the drama (sign of a rising star?)!
Kola speaks pitch-perfect Mandarin (she is also a Shanghainese and as eloquent as fellow Shanghainese star Dai Yang Tian 戴阳天). Hosting comes naturally to her and I am sure she will be a good host…
Is Kola Zhou Ying 周颖 your choice of a strong contender to replace any one of the 7 Princesses 公主? If so, who would that be in your opinion to ‘leave’ the 7 Princesses ‘throne’ for good (may not necessarily be a bad thing)?
For fans of the various hosts, ‘Lodge With Me 我行我宿’will only telecast in May 2010. But filming will start soon to catch the 4 seasons – Rui En will leave for Japan to catch the beautiful changing autumn season.
Fiona will catch Korea in Winter and Felicia will be basking in the beauty of Spring in Taiwan. Kola will take on 热情盛夏 Summer of Thailand…
This travelogue is not the typical crazy-shout-and-scream show. It allows the host say Rui En to be herself – her personality as a 独特性情中人 echoing similar attitude, essence, spirit and identity of the 民宿 in that country….
Maybe we should ditch the ‘7 公主Princesses’ title and call these 4 hosts 四季美人or 民宿四美?
