Guest Shaun Chen

Anyone else notice Shaun Chen seems to have fallen into Mediacorp's bad books?

 

After his Best Actor win in 2015, Shaun was heavily promoted by MDC, headlining so many of their blockbuster productions from 206 to 2019.

 

But from 2020 onwards, seems like he is back to playing bad guy roles... which is disappointing because he is a solid actor and has been getting into Top 10 consecutively for the past few years.

 

Any tea on why he no longer favoured by management?

I heard he complained on the management and to an extend of leaving mdc (not sure did he did it and he quietly come back) aiya many politics within mdc and the management also keep changing.

Wow thanks for the insider info.

No wonder he seems to be relegated back to B-list roles.

 

At least his fanbase quite stable and he gets into Top 10 every year.

Hopefully he scores another breakthrough role.

Maybe that’s not what he wants now. Looking at his eagerness, think he just wants a comfortable life for his family. It takes too much time and effort to be A-list. Plus mediacorp also bad at appreciating their artistes. Imagine the big boss keep changing because they cannot do a good job, then each new boss try a new pattern (promote newcomer/promote djs etc), and you as full time artiste basically just praying on your luck.

Agree with most points of this article.

 

DJs should be excluded from the Top 10 awards. If Mediacorp wants to acknowledge them, either have a separate ceremony for DJs or create a separate category for them (Most Popular Male DJ and Most Popular Female DJ)

 

Top 10 nominees should be decided on the survey like before, so that only household names get nominated. I think the previous issue was that nobody watches Mediacorpse anymore so the veterans kept getting nominated for Top 10 despite having no works (Yvonne Lim & Michelle Chia) whilst newcomers can't get nominated despite a lot of exposure (remember how Ayden threatened to quit when he wasn't nominated). If Mediacorp wants to remove this loophole, can just increase the nominees to 25 instead of the usual 20, with 5 slots guaranteed for newcomers with less than 5 years experience. Then at least we won't have a nomination list full of random extras.

Obviously people like you bother with the awards and the rules to the extend of complaining. Mediacorp is grateful to have loyal supporters like you. I do not watch and will not want to bother how things work.

On your last point, thought there’s already the rising star category for those 3 year experience to compete among themselves? Those award can be part of the 10 to reach all time favorite.

Seldom they do not have overseas host. How come they never invite Matilda Tao to host since she is now staying in sg.

TBH it’s quite boring this year. The nominations, the guest, the venue, the usual mediacorp stereotypes system. Maybe they saving money for next year.

wonder why paige chua is out for the running of top 10. 

maybe mediacorp wants to fully emphasize on carrie wong who would be the youngest to have achieved 10 top 10 awards consecutively next year.

Paige out of Top 10 cos she didn't appear in any shows last year. Same as Xu Bin and Pierre.

 

After the scandal, Carrie doesn't seem that favoured any more.

She only had 1 drama last year, Shero; she was the 2nd lead after Joanne, not the 1st lead.

 

Mediacorp's current IT girls are Chantelle and Tasha.

They both got so many dramas.

No. Not yet. I think if they made it next year will be their 10th. Last 10th artiste I think is Yvonne and Pornsak…

mediacorp finally made their reply on Star Awards !!! It's quite amusing that even after three decades, there still seems to be a lack of a well-defined judging criteria. How is it possible for an award to introduce new rules every year? It would have been wise to learn from internationally renowned awards ceremonies and adopt their respected practices. The most disheartening aspect is that the Star Awards continues to win the award for special programs, which is rather disappointing.

Which programs win the award likely already fixed by the high management, nothing got to do if the program itself good or not. You really believe all the awards winners in Star Awards?! 🙄

The last paragraph in the article is right. The nomination should take into consideration of the viewership of the drama and not based on their favoritism of blockbuster show. In instance, All That Glitters never even hit top 5 viewership but 2 of the male artiste was nominated. How is that justifiable? And that duo (Chen Hanwei+Desmond Tan), overrated push by MediaCorp. Really fake it till they make it 😒

Viewership cannot be used to determine how many nominations. If that's the case money making Ah Boys to Men would have won many movie awards.

Come on you don’t have to take viewership as 100% but partially right. All that glitters viewership was not even in top 5 but out of 5 seat, the actors took 2 seat. You think that’s justifiable? Where’s your common sense?

一部剧的好坏、演员表演的优劣见仁见智,但收视率其实应该作为参考的标准。前面提到的两位都是实力派演员,观众看好的角色都是收视前三的作品,反而是入围奖项的作品排名倒数,也难怪有观众猜测是不是明捧暗踩?  值得一提的是,去年的收视冠军在演技类奖项只入围了一项,“最佳戏剧”连竞争机会都没有,也的确有点说不过去。

I'm actually surprised Mediacorp actors are self-aware that nobody watches their shows already.

Before watching this, I thought they are all oblivious to their dismal ratings - a friend in the media industry once told me that 'the only people watching Mediacorp dramas are people working in Mediacorp'.

 

Hearing the comments from Desmond Tan makes me realise why so many Mediacorp actors are leaving.

As an actor, it must be disheartening to know the shows you put so much effort into acting doesn't get much views.

 

Honestly, if Mediacorp dares to produce a gay drama - confirm ratings go up.

Look at Thai film industry. Their entire film industry was revived by BL dramas - all the biggest Thai actors are all former BL actors.

So? Doesn’t mean there will be no change right. Look at what have they done so far, adding DJ to the game, stopping evergreen award, having rising star awards, acknowledging the impact of influencers. It just how good or bad they have changed. lol. It’s the matter of time they get it right as there are too many voices within mediacock. They just need better brain and decisive leader. 8world news represents mediacock, zaobao is then the rival. So these article are valid insights.

Interview probably  scripted and edited to show what they want to show. It is still aired under mediacorp channel albeit online. 

 

The episode with JYJ. She brought her trophy (prized possesion as stipulated by production) and said she never brings out for her grand children to play with in case it gets damaged. Then QYF snatched it and pass to zhu houren. Could see JYJ unwilling to let it go but it got snatched anyway. Lol

Correct! Really waste time. With so many statistic of feedback on All that Glitter nomination not justified. They still can win all the awards lately at the Star Awards Show 1 gala night. The management indeed in their own world. I guess they happy that the media and we are talking about them. They thought that we still care. Oh well but negative feedback will ruin the brand and create irreversible damage. RIP mediacock

Carrie Wong was in various fashion shows, award ceremonies and film festivals in the US last year where she hobnobbed with international stars like Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina and Linda Evangelista.

 

She is also the face of many luxury brands in Singapore including Coach.

 

Where is Chantalle and Tasha?
