Transcript

00:00I'm proud to be a part of this movie and I'm excited to watch the people in this movie.

00:10It's something that I don't think I've ever seen in the Philippines before.

00:14It's a legal drama.

00:16It's a legal drama.

00:18We have court hearings.

00:20And then, of course, the personal life of the lawyers.

00:25It's something that people really have to watch.

00:29And then, when they watch it, because we're not...

00:33It's like a rear scene in our teasers.

00:36It's just...

00:38It's really a teaser.

00:39It's really a teaser.

00:40It's not...

00:41You won't know what the court is about.

00:44And I have a feeling that the moment that people watch it,

00:49it would spark a conversation after watching it.

00:53Wow.

00:54They wouldn't expect that this movie was about that.

00:57But the material is so sensitive.

01:00Yes, exactly.

01:01The material is so sensitive.

01:03How was it sent to you?

01:07Because you have a collaboration with Regal, right?

01:10Yes.

01:11So how did you decide that this was your project?

01:14That you were the producer.

01:16Well, I said, since I've ventured into producing,

01:23why not start, of course, with Regal?

01:25I've been a Regal baby since I started.

01:27Since I was a kid.

01:29And now that I told myself that I'm going to get into producing,

01:34and then we had that conversation,

01:36to collaborate,

01:37they're so supportive.

01:39I mean, I'm really happy because I'm starting out.

01:44I'm venturing into this.

01:47And Regal has been there for so many years.

01:50It's a very established production company

01:54And now, I'm partnering with them.

01:57I just can't believe it.

01:58And so, when we talk about guilty pleasure,

02:01it's something that I was attracted to.

02:03Because it's not the usual film that we would see.

02:08It's not the same concept, the same scene.

02:11This one, I would say, would spark a conversation.

02:17And would raise awareness about something that needs to be talked about.

02:23So, I would say, all the projects locally,

02:26I think this is going to be a good first film.

02:28But we know the feeling that this is one of the three movies,

02:33the last three movies that Mara approved,

02:36the last one.

02:37What's your feeling?

02:40Of course, it's sad that it's the last three movies now.

02:44But then, it's nice that I'm a part of it.

02:48The last three is that she's given the green light.

02:53And so, I'm just here, of course,

02:59because Mother Lily has been an instrument in my career.

03:06Basically, without her, I wouldn't even be here.

03:09So, now, I just want to do my best

03:13to show the people who watch this movie,

03:18especially because I want to do it for Mother.

03:21How many movies have you done?

03:23Oh my gosh, I can't even count.

03:27It's just the start, right?

03:29It's just the start.

03:30No one would even get me as an actor.

03:34Mother Lily was the first who said yes to me.

03:38What's your plan as a co-producer?

03:41What's your experience?

03:44It's colorful, fun, because it's very different to be an actor.

03:50You have a lot to think about.

03:54But then, you know, I'm blessed that I do more of the creative side of things.

04:00My husband is the one who re-partnered with Celebi Productions.

04:04And of course, he's a producer in America.

04:07But he's also our partner here, and he's guiding me through things.

04:10He takes care of the financial side of things.

04:12I'm more on the creative side.

04:14So, I take care of the stories, the concepts, scripts, casting.

04:20So, yeah, that's the fun part.

04:22I'm sure the financial side of things.

04:24That's so hard.

04:27Where is it now?

04:28I'm the one who's going to enjoy it.

04:30So, after this experience, what do you want to do?

04:34Do book trips.

04:35Of course, of course.

04:38I have so many things.

04:40I have so many plans, so many stories to tell.

04:43It started with Seasons.

04:48So, basically, I wasn't producing just yet.

04:53But I came up with the concept of Seasons.

04:55And I put together the story that this is how I want it to be.

05:00And that's where it sparked.

05:02And then, of course, Regal was very collaborative.

05:06Okay, let's do it this way.

05:11So, I've been wanting to record for Kino.

05:16It all came together.

05:18And then, when I watched it on Netflix, and Netflix acquired it.

05:22And then, we watched it on Netflix.

05:24I was just like, wow, this is something that I want to do.

05:27But I want to put more stories.

05:31And produce my own, you know, films and stories.

05:37How many stories have you made that are just there?

05:41That are just there?

05:42Well, right now, I actually have three scripts that I'm just waiting to cast.

05:54So, yeah.

05:56But I have talks here with Regal.

05:58Do you already have an agreement?

06:02Well, probably the next one, hopefully, would be...

06:07Because I have another one with Regal.

06:10So, it's a different direction.

06:14A different direction? What do you mean by that?

06:17Direction?

06:18A direction in my career.

06:24It's something I've never done before.

06:26I don't know.

06:27Can we see the teaser?

06:28Here?

06:33What's the title of the movie?

06:35The Untamed.

06:36The Untamed?

06:37The Untamed.

06:38The Untamed.

06:40But it's not out yet.

06:41So, it's in the title?

06:42Regal is also in the title.

06:44You're still a co-producer?

06:46Well, we haven't really discussed that one.

06:48Oh, okay.

06:49So, it's already started?

06:50It's already finished.

06:51No, not yet.

06:52It's just starting.

06:53Oh, it's just starting?

06:54Later.

06:55It's just starting.

06:56Although...

06:57I haven't really discussed it yet.

07:00But yeah, there are a lot of lines.

07:06So, for this year, it's not going to be released?

07:08No.

07:09Next year?

07:10No.

07:13So, the trailer for Guilty Pleasure has sexy scenes.

07:17So, how daring are you here?

07:19Yes.

07:21Has the movie come back?

07:23Of course.

07:24And there's also the Untamed.

07:26Yes.

07:27No, but we're daring, yes.

07:30Our scenes.

07:32But...

07:34It needs to be in the movie.

07:38Not just because it's part of...

07:41You know, usually when you do scenes, it's part of storytelling.

07:44And you know, it happens on a day-to-day basis with people.

07:48Couples and relationships.

07:52But this one, it is very important to storytell.

07:57Without putting it out there that I'm not a good storyteller,

08:04you can see the difference between a normal person

08:08who will have an intimate moment,

08:12the normal,

08:13versus someone who isn't.

08:17So, that's what the trailer will show.

08:21JM and JMC.

08:24Who makes love,

08:26and who doesn't.

08:28When is the movie coming out?

08:30October 16.

08:31So, it's showing us...

08:32It's coming out on the 13th.

08:35As a co-producer, did you pick who your partner is?

08:39Well, I had requests.

08:42Of course,

08:43I really wanted to work with JM.

08:48And then, with Jameson, I saw his work.

08:51And then I was like,

08:52Oh, I really like this guy.

08:53So, it's like a perfect fit for them.

08:57I mean,

08:58these are, of course,

09:00choices that you have to set.

09:03But of course, I'm very happy.

09:07I've seen their work.

09:10I'm blessed because

09:12they're both good actors.

09:14And they're very kind.

09:16They're very gentle.

09:18I don't know if you remember,

09:20is this your first time meeting a lawyer?

09:22Yes, first time.

09:23Okay.

09:24So, why?

09:25Is this a check?

09:27I'll be honest.

09:29I told you before,

09:30I don't want to be a lawyer.

09:31Why?

09:32Because,

09:33there's a lot of pressure.

09:34Yes.

09:35It should be credible.

09:37And credible,

09:38because it's hard.

09:40It's believable.

09:41It should be believable.

09:42It should be...

09:43It's different.

09:45It's a different kind of love.

09:47It's not just emotional.

09:50You have to be credible.

09:52You have to know what you're doing.

09:53You have to research.

09:55You have to research.

09:56But then, when I read the script,

09:58I told him,

09:59I want you.

10:00I like this script.

10:02And it's direct quality.

10:03It's believable.

10:05So, yes.

10:06It's good.

10:09Let's just say,

10:11the moment I got my script,

10:13I memorized it.

10:14I don't know.

10:15I sent pages and pages.

10:16And,

10:17I also have an acting coach.

10:19I have her come to the house.

10:21I would say my lines,

10:22repeated, repeated.

10:24And I swear to God,

10:25I kept repeating it.

10:26Because,

10:28I didn't just memorize the day before,

10:30a few days before.

10:31No.

10:32For weeks,

10:33I kept saying my lines every day.

10:36Really?

10:37So, when I get to set,

10:38I just pay off.

10:39When I get to set,

10:40I just say,

10:41one take, one take, one take.

10:42Oh my God.

10:43Just one take?

10:44Yes.

10:45Because every day,

10:46I would say all my lines,

10:47in pages.

10:48I practiced at the house.

10:51So,

10:52that's it.

10:53So, the lawyer,

10:54even if you don't want to do it,

10:55you already did it.

10:56The doctor,

10:57you already did it.

10:58I haven't done it yet.

10:59Really?

11:00So, that's one of the things I want to do.

11:01Because,

11:02every time I watch Korean dramas,

11:03I get a smile.

11:04Yes.

11:05There are a lot of medical dramas.

11:06There are cuts.

11:07Oh my God.

11:08Amazing.

11:10Is this Dr. Romantic?

11:11Yes.

11:12We love Dr. Romantic.

11:14He's so good.

11:15Wow.

11:16Daniel.

11:17So, that's it.

11:18It's like,

11:19oh my God.

11:20Next, what's next?

11:22But you haven't been an offer

11:24from a lawyer

11:25and a doctor

11:26that you already did it.

11:27No.

11:28It's my first time being a lawyer

11:29and a doctor.

11:39Oh my God.

11:40Oh my God.

11:41Oh my God.

11:42Oh my God.

11:43Oh my God.

11:44Oh my God.

11:45Oh my God.

11:53Oh my God.

11:54Oh my God.

11:55Oh my God.

11:56Oh my God.

11:57Oh my God.

11:58Oh my God.

11:59Oh my God.
