　　在一片偶像剧热潮中，打着本地偶像剧旗帜的新传媒制作《星梦情真》，昨天也举行了记者会。成为媒体访问焦点的女主角郑雪儿，戏里戏外显然都备受宠爱。

　　戏里，郑雪儿被三个男主角陈汉玮、郑斌辉和上届“才华横溢出新秀”冠军施斌所追求；戏外，她为《星》剧和另一部台湾偶像剧《流星花园Ⅱ》而在新台之间来回奔波，忙得不可开交。预定7月才启播的《星》剧为了迁就她的时间，因此提前一个月开宣传记者会。

 郑雪儿已走出低谷

 　　这部剧是郑雪儿和台湾前经纪人钱幽兰合约纠纷平息后所拍的第一部作品，她昨天在新经纪公司海峡唱片保姆的陪同下会见媒体，整个人看起来神清气爽，显然已经走出前阵子的低谷。她一会儿谈在《星》剧里演身世可怜的失明少女歌手，一会儿谈在《流Ⅱ》里演一名在西班牙的画家，眼波流转、笑意盈盈，散发无限青春魅力。只有在记者追问她在《流Ⅱ》中和言承旭的合作时，她才正色说：“我们不熟。”

　　她将在明天飞到台湾，并在月底启程到西班牙完成该剧。

30岁的“偶像”

　　美女曾诗梅在《星》剧担任第二女主角，对她是另一个突破，因为这是她第一次演反派，因为不甘被郑雪儿的角色抢风头而嫉妒她。在首映片段中看到她有一幕对着音乐婆娑起舞，也有机会施展女性魅力。

　　比较起两位女主角，陈汉玮、郑斌辉两位超过30岁的帅哥显得不那么年轻，这和台湾偶像剧大量使用年轻脸孔的做法刚好相反，高级监制陈建仪对这点有话说。

监制：台湾偶像剧忽略演技

 　　拍过电影《孩子·树》的陈建仪说，台湾偶像剧的做法求新鲜为主，不过却忽略了演技，所以她认为《星》剧的男主角及其他中生代演员可以照顾这一点。她说：“我们不怕演员不漂亮，要漂亮并不难。”

　　不过她没有忘记偶像剧主角一定要有足够的新鲜感，这就是她选用郑雪儿的原因。“她的表演常常让你出乎意料之外，她的笑声（模仿几下）也很可爱。”郑雪儿合约纠纷结束后，本地多家电视台和经纪公司便对她展开一场争夺行动，陈建仪笑说：“当然啦，毕竟好的东西不是那么多。”

　　她说拍偶像剧不是刻意跟风，是因为觉得手上的故事适合，况且其他题材都已拍过，所以放手一试。

　　对她来说，《星》剧可能还是牵引她回到旧时光的一座桥梁。“我当导播的时候拍过《舞榭歌台》，那是向云、黄文永和李文海演的，现在《星》剧里他们又一起演出，向云还在里面唱回《舞》剧的歌曲。”

　　以《流》作为一部典范之作来看，偶像剧不能没有好听的音乐，剧中由李¤菘伟菘创作、上述五名年轻男女主角演唱的歌曲，陈建仪说每一首都让她喜欢。

　　20集的《星》剧演员还有林晓佩、陈澍承、麦皓为和黄炯耀，故事人是萧子君。

　　《星梦情真》从7月8日起，每逢星期一至五晚上9点，通过第8波道播出。

30 Years old "Idol"

....Compared to the two lead actresses, the two handsome over thirty lead actors are not as young. This is opposite to Taiwan's idol drama which uses big number of young faces. For this senior producer Chen Jian Yi has her say.

Producer: Taiwan's idol drama neglects acting skills

Chen Jian Yi who has filmed the movie "The Tree" said that Taiwan's  idol drama tries to create freshness but neglects acting skills. So the lead actors of "Fantasy" and the other middle age actors/actresses can take care of this. She said," We are not afraid that the actors/actresses are not beautiful. but it is not difficult to be beautiful."

   But she has not forgotten that the leads in idol drama must give enough sense of freshness. "This is why we use Michelle Saram....."

.        .......

She said that she film this show because she is trying to be trendy. It's just  that she happens to have a suitable script at hand and other themes have already been filmed, so she gives this a try.

For her,  "Fantasy" also brings back memory of "Wu Xie Ge Tai" which she filmed when she was still a director. It was filmed with Xiang Yun, Huang Wen Yong and Lee Wen Hai. Now they are back in this show and Xiang Yun will sing the songs of "Wu"

Using "Meteor Gardens" as model, idol drama cannot do without nice music. Li Wei Song writes the songs for this show. Chen Jian Yi said that she likes every of the song sung by the five young actors and actresses.....
