Direk Cathy Garcia-Molina Happy With Positive Feedbacks for Sam Milby - KC Concepcion Movie Tandem

During the premiere night of Forever And A Day, director Cathy Garcia-Molina admitted that she was really nervous of how moviegoers would respond to Sam Milby and KC Concepcion’s first movie team-up. She had been very vocal about being challenged to bring out the best in her two lead stars, especially because this is her first time to do a romantic drama. “Hindi na nga ako tumitingin sa audience eh. Natakot ako sa reaction ng tao. Pero napansin ko, they were really quiet and attentive during the emotional scenes of KC and Sam’s characters. Natuwa ako kasi ibig sabihin they were trying to listen [to the dialogue] and I felt that they really appreciate KC and Sam's performance. If I may say so, na-showcase naman talaga yung galing nila and they have all the right to be called actors.”

True to her word, Direk Cathy made sure that Sam’s onscreen presence would have a similar impact to that of John Lloyd Cruz in A Very Special Love. At the same time, viewers would be surprised with the depth of emotion that Sam has given his role. “Gwapo talaga si Sam and magaling ang director of photography ko, si Dan Villegas. Pero extraordinary nga ang pagkagwapo ni Sam sa pelikula, may glow. I think nakatulong na gusto niya yung story of Eugene. Plus, he knows that he needs this project. He knows that he has to give more kasi pang-anim niya ng pelikula ito at pang-apat na niya sa akin [na siya ang bida]. So I’m sure naghahanap na din yung tao na, ‘Ano naman ang pwede mo mong mabigay?’ And I believe hindi kayo mabibigo. Sam was able to give more than what he has given in the past.”

Direk Cathy was equally proud of KC whom she had to be very strict with. Since it was their first time to work together, she told KC that she’s the type of director who doesn’t give special treatment even to showbiz royalties. “I am so happy kasi hinayaan niya akong i-control siya, i-guide siya. Malaking bagay sa aming mga director na pumapayag ang artistang magpadirek. Kasi ang tanging mabibigay ko kay KC yung emotion—dito ka manggagaling, dito ka pupunta. And I am so happy kasi yung ibang nuances sa kanya na galing. I am glad na lumalabas na yung naturalesa niya bilang artista. I didn’t have to spoon-feed everything. Nung umpisa ganon e, pero nung pumasok na siya sa character niya, naging natural na yung flow ng emotions nila.”

When asked what’s next after filming Forever And A Day, Direk Cathy revealed that she’s open to do more serious films in the future. “Basta huwag lang family drama, yun ang iniiwasan ko eh. Pero heavy drama na love stories, okay sa akin,” she beamed.

Angelica Panganiban, KC Concepcion and Gretchen Barretto Gear Up for Upcoming Teleserye

Actresses Angelica Panganiban, KC Concepcion and Gretchen Barretto attended an acting workshop together for ABS-CBN's upcoming series "Muling Buksan ang Puso."

In an interview with "Showbiz News Ngayon", the actresses shared their workshop experience under award-winning director Laurice Guillen.

"Exciting kasi marami kaming nalalaman sa isa't isa. Step-by-step nakikilala mo sila ng deeper," Panganiban said.

"Exhausting 'yong workshop. Medyo nahirapan. The good thing is nagkakakilanlan na kami. I think we are ready to work," Barretto said.

Concepcion shared: "This is it! Nararamdaman na namin na talagang may project kami together kasi matagal na kaming naghihintay."

The series will be directed by Ruel Naval, one of the directors of the defunct top-rating series "Magkaribal."

Asked if people will see them compete in the series on the fashion and acting front, Barretto replied:

"Kung patalbugan, malalaman niyo na lang yon. Si Angelica pagdating niya sa set hindi na siya si Angelica. Iba na ang character na ipo-portray niya. Iba na din ako. Iba na din si KC doon. Kung mag-away kami sa teleserye, 'yon kami pagdating sa set."

For Panganiban, she stressed that they will just do their job as actresses. She also added that it would be easy to do the series if they will work hand-in-hand.

"Masarap magtrabaho kung hindi kayo naghihilaan pababa, at doon magwo-work 'yon. Doon makikita ng tao kung paano magiging maganda ang teleserye na pinapanood nila," Panganiban said.

Also part of "Muling Buksan ang Puso" are actors Luis Manzano, Sam Milby and Zanjoe Marudo.

KC Concepcion Downplays Good Reviews of her Acting on Forever and a Day

KC Concepcion said that her role in her current movie, Forever And A Day, is an answered prayer because it is out of her comfort zone. KC played the role of Raffy, a young woman with a terminal disease and who is afraid to live life to the fullest. Sam Milby plays KC’s leading man.

The actress-host was flattered by director Cathy Garcia-Molina’s comments that KC proved herself an effective actress in the movie. “Maraming salamat kay Direk Cathy, hindi ko ito magagawa kung wala siya. Matagal akong naghintay bago ako gumawa ng pelikula ulit.” Her previous movie was I’ll Be There, exactly one year ago, which also starred her father Gabby Concepcion and Jericho Rosales.

KC was also sentimental during the premiere night because her grandmother, Mommy Elaine, attended the event. She related that her grandma has been a big influence on her in her pursuit of a showbiz career. “Siya ang dahilan kung bakit nagkaroon ng ako interest sa showbiz. Alam ko rin naman supportive ang mommy ko pero ang lola ko talaga ang very excited na makita ako sa ganitong trabaho. Nagti-text nga kami habang nanonood ng pelikula. Kahit ‘di kami madalas magkita gumagawa kami ng way na magkita kami.”

Though she has received many praises for her acting, KC added that Forever And A Day boasts of a good story and a bunch of brilliant actors. “Napakaganda ng kwento, and I believe maraming artista na magaling, mas magaling sa akin pero nagawa kong ikuwento ang story ni Raffy and I’m happy.”

Sam Milby Admires KC Concepcion's Acting Skills

Sam Milby said that he was able to discover how good an actress KC Concepcion is in their movie, Forever And A Day. While he needs more effort to prepare for dramatic scenes in their movie, Sam said that KC could deliver in their dramatic scenes in a jiffy. “Parang mas magaling siya sa emotional scenes, eh. Parang mas magaling siyang umiyak, eh. It’s funny kasi when we were on the set parang tawanan, she was making kwento about scenes tapos biglang ay take na, take na, and she started crying and how did she do that? Ako I need to be separated… to think about it and concentrate and then, ‘Direk take na.’ Parang ganun.”

In the movie, Sam and KC had to kiss a couple of times and Sam clarified that they did not feel uncomfortable because the scenes were not explicit. “We look at each other as friends,” explained Sam. “’Yung kissing scenes naman they were not torrid so I don’t that’s bad, eh.” The Fil-Am actor continued that he might have felt awkward had they been required to do very passionate kissing scenes. “But I think it’s too simple like romantic kissing scenes so I don’t think that’s bad. For me, it’s not that ilang but a little kasi syempre…” Sam went on without finishing his sentence.

Push.com.ph supplied if his little uneasiness was caused by the fact that he is friends with KC’s boyfriend, Piolo Pascual. “Unang-una, siguro Piolo has been in the business matagal na, (so) he understands eh. Being in the business he understands movies. I don’t think even if we had a very passionate kissing scene [Piolo would mind]. He knows that it’s work. I know he understands that in every aspect. I’m not worried about that.”

The actor also said that he is baffled that people continue to link him romantically to Marie Digby, who is supposed to be dating basketball player James Yap. “I just find it funny na hanggang ngayon maraming sinasabi na kami ni Marie and I made it clear to everyone before na never naging kami, never kaming nag-exclusively dating,” clarified Sam. He went on to say that he and Marie have long since agreed to be just friends.

He added that he has no say if rumors were true that the Youtube singing sensation is now going out with James. “Wala akong karapatan magsabi na ‘di siya mag-date kasi friends kami. If she’s happy, I’m happy.'
