01:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:23 - I'm so happy to be here. How are you? - I'm okay. I'm okay.
01:28 And with the family,
01:29 I think when you think of Christmas,
01:33 family is what comes to mind.
01:35 That's true.
01:36 You, aside from the family, is there anyone else?
01:38 You know what I mean?
01:40 - And she's coming back. - Please.
01:44 Thank you very, very much.
01:46 And I'm happy because you're starting your year really big.
01:50 Oh, my God. Yes.
01:52 January 15, my husband and I, oh, my goodness.
01:55 I'm so happy because it's so nice to start a new year.
01:59 - Because our-- - You prayed for this?
02:01 Seriously.
02:02 Actually, not just praying.
02:04 I really worked hard for this
02:06 because I auditioned for Direct Lures that time.
02:09 - What audition? - For this series.
02:11 We had a meeting on Zoom.
02:13 - Because of COVID? - Yes.
02:15 - No, not COVID. - The pandemic?
02:17 - The pandemic is over? - It's over.
02:18 But my handler surprised me that time.
02:21 - And then? - Because I was asking,
02:23 "Who's the director?"
02:25 And I was surprised that it was Direct Lures.
02:27 How did you audition online?
02:29 Via Zoom?
02:30 Oh, there.
02:31 They would send a script to you
02:33 and then you would memorize the background of the character.
02:37 And then after that, you do the same--
02:41 Do you remember what you said?
02:42 I mean, do you remember what the concept of your audition piece was?
02:47 Actually, the story is a bit different.
02:53 But the story in the script is
02:56 I'm asking Kristy to leave our house.
02:59 Okay.
03:00 So, for example, Lures will say, "This is it, right?"
03:03 - "This is it." - "This is it."
03:04 Okay, you're asking Kristy to leave
03:06 which is played by Jasmine Curtis.
03:09 Okay, and this is your audition piece.
03:11 Lures is watching.
03:12 And 4, 3, 2, 1, action!
03:14 What are you doing here?
03:16 I told you that you're not coming back.
03:19 And then she's saying something, like you.
03:21 Oh, okay.
03:22 What did she say?
03:24 She's asking me to come back.
03:25 What are you doing here outside my house?
03:27 Because, Narya, she's my wife.
03:29 You're not my wife anymore.
03:31 You've been separated for a long time.
03:33 I'm her husband now.
03:35 Get out!
03:36 Wow.
03:38 Cut.
03:39 I just have a question.
03:41 I just have a question.
03:42 It must have been difficult
03:44 because it's a zoom, right?
03:48 And you don't have a scene.
03:50 Yes, and then--
03:51 You don't know how to react.
03:53 Yes, and then the line that they're saying,
03:56 Kristy's line,
03:57 it's so--
03:58 There's no emotion.
04:00 It's as if you're not getting anything from your--
04:02 - Co-actor. - Co-actor.
04:03 So you really need your own emotion.
04:06 So, okay, what's the story, Lizelle,
04:08 of "My Husband's Wife"
04:10 and who you are here in "Two Husbands"?
04:13 Yes, Shira is Jordan Mananzala's new wife.
04:17 She's Jordan's second wife.
04:19 Yes, and the story is about
04:22 actually fighting for your rights
04:26 and for your love.
04:27 Your rights as a wife,
04:29 your rights as a family,
04:33 and as a wife.
04:35 But the problem with this story
04:37 is that if you're talking about rights,
04:39 you both have rights.
04:40 Yes.
04:41 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
04:44 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
05:12 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
05:41 Just before we started the show,
05:43 Ardie, our head writer, was telling me,
05:46 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
05:48 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
05:50 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
05:51 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
05:52 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
06:04 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
06:05 [SPEAKING IN TAGALOG]
06:06 That's it.
06:07 Okay.
06:08 You know, for me, the genius of that position is
06:12 first, you simplify life.
06:15 Here in "Asawa ng Asawa Ko,"
06:17 you worked with Gina Alhar,
06:19 I mean, the great Gina Alhar, as an actor.
06:22 And you're directed by the great Luris Guillén.
06:25 How was it?
06:26 How did Luris direct?
06:30 Wow.
06:32 Actually, she's really good.
06:34 She really gives her artists freedom
06:37 because I think she's an artist too.
06:39 So she can feel...
06:40 Brilliant actress.
06:41 Yes, she can feel what we can feel.
06:44 For example, in the scene,
06:45 she'll put you there.
06:47 Okay.
06:48 For example, okay.
06:49 You're angry.
06:50 Your husband didn't come home.
06:52 And when you get home, he's still not there.
06:56 You think he's going to get down.
06:58 So she'll put you there.
07:00 You'll be gone.
07:01 Free yourself.
07:02 Where's Jordan?
07:03 What did he do?
07:04 Earlier, when...
07:05 Yes.
07:06 Earlier, when I left, he was here.
07:07 Why did he suddenly disappear?
07:09 Where are you?
07:12 Like that.
07:13 Everything.
07:14 You're really right.
07:15 Yes, use the space.
07:17 That's how Luris is.
07:18 Yes.
07:19 This is your space.
07:20 Yes, use it.
07:21 You're really angry because your husband didn't come home.
07:23 And then say your line.
07:24 Yes.
07:25 Oh my God.
07:26 I mean, does it take 2, 3, 4, 5?
07:28 It's gone.
07:29 It's just one take.
07:30 Gone.
07:31 The camera will follow you.
07:33 But sometimes,
07:34 he has a specific line that goes,
07:36 "You're just like this."
07:37 "This is your emotion."
07:39 For example,
07:40 "You're just bad."
07:41 "You're crying but you're not crying."
07:43 "Your face shouldn't be like that."
07:46 For example,
07:47 you're the second wife.
07:48 I'm the first.
07:49 Okay.
07:50 Okay.
07:51 Then, my husband is there.
07:52 There's a pain.
07:53 You're not letting me go inside the house.
07:56 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, action.
07:59 You're like, "Poor thing."
08:00 "Poor thing."
08:01 "I just want to see."
08:02 The person is sick.
08:03 We have someone together.
08:04 You're letting me go inside the house.
08:06 No.
08:07 Why not?
08:08 You're done.
08:09 You left him, right?
08:10 I was the first wife.
08:11 We have children.
08:12 Why aren't you letting me go inside?
08:14 You're not here anymore.
08:15 What do you mean?
08:16 I'm here.
08:17 Where are you?
08:18 Why is he yelling?
08:19 That's why I don't know.
08:20 Because you didn't tell me.
08:21 Why would I tell you?
08:22 You should tell me because I'm the husband.
08:24 No.
08:25 You should tell me.
08:26 I'm the wife.
08:27 I'm the first.
08:28 I'm the one who lives in this house.
08:29 I'm the wife.
08:30 But he's still my husband.
08:31 He's also my husband.
08:32 He's my husband.
08:33 I'm the first.
08:34 And what are you going to do?
08:35 Don't you understand?
08:36 Because you're not listening.
08:37 You're not listening.
08:38 Show him.
08:39 What do you want to do to my husband?
08:40 I just want to see.
08:41 You're going to CPR him so he'll get better?
08:42 No.
08:43 Let's have a fast talk.

10:16 I am Lizelle Lopez.
10:17 I will do everything for...
10:18 My family.
10:19 Wow, intense.
10:20 That's nice.
10:21 You are playing the title role of this series, of this prime time series, Asawa ng Asawa Ko.
10:35 You are at the beginning of your peak.
10:37 This is what I read.
10:40 Question.
10:41 What if it doesn't work?
10:45 Second, how did you get to where you are now?
10:52 And how did you protect this space?
10:58 And at this point in your life, what will you choose?
11:04 The space you love or your career?
11:07 The answers will be back in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
11:11 We are back here in Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
11:23 We are still with Lizelle Lopez.
11:26 Lizelle, let's go to Gina Alajar, one of the greatest actors in Philippine cinema.
11:33 How is she as an artist?
11:35 Do you watch her?
11:37 What do you learn from her?
11:39 Yes, actually, she workshopped me before Starstruck Days.
11:43 I will never forget her advice.
11:48 Because at that time, when I was asked about my life, I always cried because we were poor.
11:55 She told me, "Isn't that your advantage? You know how hard it is.
12:03 You should be more dedicated to your work.
12:06 You tried to get hungry.
12:10 Use that hunger in your career."
12:14 Beautiful.
12:15 Yes.
12:16 Now, you have a scene.
12:18 Yes.
12:19 How is it doing a scene with a mentor?
12:22 Somebody as great as Gina Alajar.
12:25 And behind the camera, you have Loris Guillen.
12:28 I was nervous at first.
12:30 But when I was doing a scene with Gina, I was at peace.
12:35 She is a comforting actress.
12:38 She will accept everything you give her.
12:41 She will give it back to you.
12:42 She is a beautiful actress.
12:45 She is also the one who soothes us.
12:47 For example, when we get angry with Director Loris,
12:49 she will explain to us that she is just telling you to do better.
12:57 To do your best.
13:00 She is so nurturing.
13:01 She is so nurturing.
13:03 And it's so good because that becomes a safe place for actors.
13:08 Yes.
13:09 It's beautiful.
13:10 And she is so giving and generous.
13:11 I just want to say that you are so lucky that you are able to work with,
13:15 that you are working with Gina Alajar and Loris Guillen.
13:20 Let's talk about your title role here in "Asawa ng Asawa Ko."
13:26 This is big.
13:27 This is prime time.
13:30 Do you feel pressure?
13:32 Do you have fear?
13:34 Do you have a prayer?
13:37 That, "Lord, I hope this works."
13:41 Do you have fear that this might not work?
13:44 What are your thoughts?
13:46 For me, I believe that it's up to the Lord.
13:52 It's up to the Lord.
13:53 But I still pray that, of course, I hope it works.
13:58 I hope that the hard work we put in is for the good of the people.
14:02 And if I'm afraid, maybe not anymore because I gave my best here.
14:07 I know that I'm giving my best in every scene.
14:11 So, it's up to the Lord.
14:13 I'll give it to the Lord, what His plan is for us here in TALESERIAN.
14:17 You know, what I'm hearing is very humbling.
14:20 As long as you give your best, you have nothing to worry.
14:26 As the Lord God says, "Have faith."
14:28 As long as you have faith, you give.
14:32 How do you intend to stay where you are?
14:37 Because there are so many distractions.
14:41 How do you make sure that you won't get lost?
14:45 I think, like what Director Gina said to me when I started working in Starstruck,
14:53 you need to be hungry.
14:56 You need to know that you will do everything to make this career work.
15:03 So, if I have distractions, I always redirect myself.
15:09 "Is this really what you want to do?"
15:12 Because I really love my job.
15:14 I love being an artist.
15:16 I love acting.
15:18 That's my passion.
15:19 So, I think, I can see the distractions in my job.
15:26 So, I'll cut off those distractions.
15:28 And I really love my job.
15:32 I believe that if you love your job, you'll never go far.
15:37 We are in the celebrity business.
15:39 We are in the fame business.
15:41 And sometimes, fame can be toxic.
15:45 Are there any opportunities that you feel that you're proud of?
15:53 I believe that in the show business, there are celebrities and actors.
16:02 So, I think,
16:04 Where are you?
16:05 I really categorize myself as an actor.
16:08 I don't want to be famous.
16:12 I don't do it to become famous or to get recognized.
16:16 I do it because I love acting.
16:20 And you're happy?
16:21 I'm happy with what I do.
16:22 But this is what makes you happy.
16:24 Yes.
16:25 How did you reach what you're doing now?
16:28 Oh my gosh.
16:29 I mean the short version of the long story.
16:32 How did I reach it?
16:35 I have a strong heart.
16:37 I went to Manila and I didn't know anyone.
16:41 You're from Olonga?
16:42 I'm from Olonga.
16:43 I don't have a massage.
16:44 Oh my goodness.
16:45 I worked as a waitress to get a massage and to audition.
16:53 And my family was surprised that I auditioned.
16:57 Because I really love my job.
16:59 And then I was surprised that I was one of the lucky ones to get in the showbiz.
17:06 So, now that I'm here, I will fight for my position.
17:11 Do you believe in luck?
17:13 I believe in hard work.
17:16 And you keep on going back to that word, hunger, that Gina told you.
17:21 Yes.
17:22 You remain hungry.
17:23 Yes.
17:24 Oh my gosh.
17:25 It's beautiful, right?
17:26 Look at it.
17:27 Oh my God.
17:28 It's you.
17:29 Yes.
17:30 During the pandemic, I remember reading some things about you.
17:36 It's a common question, but it's an opportunity for us to clarify.
17:41 You were accused of having an overlap with Christopher Martin, with his wife, now.
17:50 Forgive me, Christopher, and your wife, for this question.
17:55 But I just want to clarify.
17:58 What happened?
18:00 Did you really have an overlap?
18:02 Because you were accused of stealing.
18:04 If you ask me, no.
18:10 But if I learned something from that, maybe I should have told the truth.
18:19 But I won't tell that story.
18:23 But regarding your question, my answer is no.
18:28 And I believe in you.
18:31 Yes, because first of all, I don't steal from a married couple.
18:37 Oh my, let's go back to that.
18:39 And because of that, watch out for married couples.
18:42 I want to have a lot of men there.
18:46 We can talk about that.
18:50 When can we watch "Asawa ng Asawa Ko"?
18:54 Watch it!
18:56 It's coming this January 15, Monday to Thursday, 9.35pm on GMA Primetime.
19:06 How are you, Raver?
19:08 We're good.
19:09 You know, all the men in our show, Martin, Raver, and Joy, are all gentlemen.
19:17 So it's easy for us to create sensitive scenes because they're all so caring.
19:23 Raver is just so excited.
19:25 I had him here on the show.
19:26 I'm excited to see Joem Bascon.
19:29 Yes.
19:30 He's an intense and talented artist.
19:33 Have you had scenes?
19:34 Yes, I have.
19:35 Because you went to their show, right?
19:37 Yes, actually, there's a twist to that.
19:41 But Joem is really good in his scenes.
19:44 You'll be able to watch our scenes because our characters are so...
19:50 You can see...
19:52 I don't want to say it but I'm excited because they're so good.
19:57 Tell me the truth.
19:58 Which one of us did better?
20:02 Just your opinion.
20:04 Joem is the best.
20:06 He's so good.
20:08 Do I have to scold you?
20:09 Yes, you have to.
20:11 For example, I'm shouting at you.
20:13 I told you to leave.
20:16 What?
20:17 Like that?
20:18 Yes, like that.
20:19 He won't say anything.
20:20 You'll just leave.
20:22 I'll be the one to scold you.
20:24 No, that's okay.
20:25 I'm the number one husband and I'm fighting with you.
