HINDI maitago ni Donny Pangilinan ang sobrang paghanga sa ka-loveteam na si Belle Mariano. Sobra kasi niyang hinangaan ang batang aktres sa galing umarte.
Sa media conference ng Can’t Buy Me Love kamakailan, super proud ang isa’t isa sa kanilang achievements.
“I was able to discover na kaya pa pala niyang maging mas mahusay. Ang galing. I thought that, you know, she’s been in the industry for quite some time.
“Ever since she was a kid, she knows her craft, ‘yung atake niya ganoon na lang. But no, she always surprises me and everyone with the performances she gives,” ani Donny.
“It’s more of a surprise to me na ‘yung mga ibinibigay niya sascenes, she can do more, mas magaling and mas nag-exert pa ng ibang atake.
“It’s always a proud moment for me when I see that,” pahayag pang paghanga ng binata sa ka-loveteam.
Kitang-kita naman ang pagiging pursigido ni Donny ani Belle. “Mas nagiging evident kung gaano siya ka-pursigido sa ginagawa niya.”
Kaya tulad ni Donny, nakatutulong kay Belle na maging pursigido rin. “Like all the more I work with him, it actually also inspires me to work even harder, so I’m happy to go through this journey with him.”
Gaganap na rich kid si Belle habang isang mahirap na binata naman ang gagampanan ni Donny. Kaya naman iba’t iba ang mga karakter na gagampanan nila sa Can’t Buy Me Love.
“I think more of the question is what the similarities are because there are so many changes and there are so many new things in this series that you haven’t seen in our past projects.
“There are diverse genres, actually one show with romcom, drama, action, thriller, mystery, everything that you can think of.
“You will feel varied emotions when you watch it. And you will also ask questions at the end of show like what will happen next?
“So, it’s nice that we’re able to portray challenges that are challenging to us. And we give a different flavor of kilig, chemistry here na hindi namin nabibigay dati,” anang binata.
Sinabi pa ni Belle na malaking pasasalamat niya na naibigay ang proyektong ito sa kanila. “We are both grateful to be here. Thank you very much. I think a factor, too, is being aligned with one another, being aligned in the sense that we both have the same goal and that is to deliver a great project. And I just can’t wait for you, guys, to watch Can’t Buy Me Love.”
Mapapanood ang Can’t Buy Me Love sa iba’t ibang ABS-CBN platforms simula sa October 16. Produced by Star Creatives at mula sa direksiyon ni Mae Cruz Alviar.
Kasama rin sa serye sina Nova Villa, Celeste Legaspi, Agot Isidro, Rowell Santiago, Ruffa Gutierrez, Maris Racal, Albie Casiño, Kaila Estrada, Joao Constancia, Karina Bautista, Vivoree, at Darren.
Samantala, dahil bago aminado si Donny na nahirapan siya sa kanyang karakter. Isang sikat na online seller na rumaraket sa iba’t ibang trabaho ang karakter ng binata.
Ani Direk Mae, rito natutong sumakay ng jeep si Donny na never pang naranasan sa buong buhay nito.
“’Yung sa jeep na eksena, dapat nagmamadali kayo, so take, action! Si Donny, hinayaan lahat, pumila siya! Sabi ko, hindi ‘to pila,” nangingiting kuwento ni Direk Mae.
Kaya naman kinailangang sabihin ng direktor na kalimutan muna ni Donny ang pagiging gentleman, “Kasi masyado kang polite in real life, kapag ganyan in real life, dog-eat-dog world, nagmamadali ka.”
First time rin namang gaganap na rich Chinese girl si Belle kaya naman, “Until now, kinikilala ko pa si Caroline, but I did seven days of Hokkien classes and talagang in-immerse ko ‘yung sarili ko sa mga culture ng Chinese.
“Kasi ‘yung character nga ni Caroline dito she comes from a wealthy Chinese family so kami ni direk (Mae), parang date, nag-usap kami the whole day about Caroline lang.”
Sinabi naman ni Donny na, “Kami rin ni direk, we scheduled an entire day, umikot kami ng Binondo, Divisoria. First time kong umikot with Direk. We just went around incognito kasama ‘yung team.”
At para mas makatulong sa karakter, sinabihan siya ng kanilang direktor na obserbahan ang mga taga-Binondo at Divisoria kung paano magtrabaho at makisalamuha sa ibang tao.
