Janella Salvador, Joshua Garcia, Ricky Lee at Benedict Mique
NAKA-CHAT namin si Benedict Mique, ang direktor ng hit TV series na “Darna” ni Jane de Leon na papasok na sa second season ngayong darating na Lunes, November 14.
Abangan daw ang mas marami pang rebelasyong mangyayari sa mga pangunahing karakter sa serye.
Kinukulit namin si direk Bene (tawag namin sa kanya) kung may kasunod pa ang kissing scene nina Joshua Garcia at Janella Salvador dahil nag-trending talaga ‘yung laplapan nila.
May nagsabi pa nga na “hinigop” ng aktor ang aktres. Kaya may mga nagtatanong kung may part 2 pa ito.
Tawa lang nang tawa ang direktor at hindi kami sinagot kung may kasunod pa, abangan na lang daw ng mga manonood.
“Ako nag-shoot no’n at talagang nagulat ako kasi akala ko (magkakahiyaan), e, hindi naman, parang sanay na sila. Ha-hahaha!” masayang sagot ni direk Benedict.
Samantala, nabasa namin ang post ni direk Benedict sa kanyang Facebook account na dahil kay Mr. Ricky Lee na isa nang National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts ay nagkaroon siya ng computer para maisulat ang kanyang unang script.
Hindi nakakalimutan ng nasabing direktor ang malaking pagbabago sa buhay niya dahil kay Mr. Ricky Lee.
Ang caption ni direk Benedict sa mga larawang pinost niya kasama si Mr. Lee at mga kaibigan, “Fun night with long time friends! Nakakatuwa that after 23 years we are the same simple people. Kinda nostalgic too because meeting Ricky before at Star Cinema changed my life.
“Here’s the story. After training as a scriptcon for Labs Kita Okay Ka Lang and being a scriptcon for Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay and Anak, I was supposed to go to TV and be a second AD (assistant director).
“I was excited about this because its a big achievement for someone who just came out from college. I also thought that this was an easier path in becoming a director.
“But Direk Rory (Quintos) told me to become a creative assistant instead for Star Cinema and a meeting was set with Direk Olive (Lamasan).
“I was ready to turn down the offer if one did came along but while hanging around the waiting area of Star Cinema, Ricky came out of a room, where eventually I found out was a meeting of the creative development group or CDG of Star Cinema.
“I never get starstruck by celebrities or actors but I got excited when I saw Ricky. I felt that I can learn so much from this person.
“So, instead of becoming a second AD I became a creative assistant for Star Cinema. We worked on the comeback movie of Robin Padilla and he become my head writer for MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya) and creative consultant for the soaps I was involved with and now a good friend and almost family.
“I guess its his fault why I became a writer or a creator for more than 20 years until now.
“I literally owe him my first scripts because of the 21k (P21,000) he loaned me for my first computer,” aniya.
“That computer started my career. From that 21k my life as a writer/filmmaker flourished. Kumbaga sa negosyo ‘yun ang naging puhunan ko,” dagdag pa.
At inamin sa amin ni direk Bene na ang ang computer na nagkakahalaga ng P21,000 ay milyones na ang kinita.
Pagpapatuloy niya, “Thats why now, I want to return back the favor. I want to sponsor 5 young people who wants to be a scriptwriter but doesn’t have the means to buy a computer or a laptop.
“If you know someone who fits those description, please tell them to PM me. They can send me their profile, a story about themselves and their sample work.
“I will also teach and guide these five people to write and eventually make their films.
“And for those who want to help, you can also PM me, maybe we can sponsor more aspiring scriptwriters and filmmakers.
“Thank You (smiling face emoji).”
