MATAGAL bago nasagot ni Jodi Sta. Maria ang tanong kung ano ang pakiramdam niya na nakatungtong siya sa GMA 7 para mag-promote ng upcoming TV series na “Unbreak My Heart” na unang collaboration ng ABS-CBN’s Dreamscape Entertainment at GMA handog ng Viu Philippines.
“Many years ago, kasi no one thought not even in their wildest dreams that this moment right here would be possible. Before, ABS-CBN and GMA-7 were rivals, competitors for ratings, for audience share. But now, nagbago iyon!
“We are no longer rivals but we are here today as collaborators and partners with goals and that is to provide more opportunities for people in the industry that we have grown to love and to give the audience and provide them quality entertainment,” mahinahong sabi ni Jodi.
At dahil sa collaboration na ito ay nagkaroon ng pagkakataon na makatrabaho ng Kapamilya stars ang mga Kapuso artists.
“I feel grateful, honored and blessed to be part of this project and I would like to thank everyone who made this beautiful impossibility possible. To ABS-CBN and GMA-7 and of course to Viu who will provide us that streaming platform in strengthening and showcasing Filipino talent worldwide.
“I think, it’s the end of rivalry. I mean now, we can, you know, share artists and talents and you know, everyone is given the opportunity to work. And like I’ve said before, it’s really more of job opportunities for the industry that we have grown a lot in. I think, bukod din po sa aming mga artista at mga tao na parte ng industrya, s’yempre ang magbe-benefit sa napagkagandang partnership na ito ay ang ating mga manonood,” katwiran ni Jodi.
Sundot na tanong ay ano ang masasabi niya sa batang leading man niyang si Joshua Garcia sa karakter nilang May-December affair with kissing scenes.
“I guess for me, intimate scenes are the most difficult to do. It will require a certain level of vulnerability and trust from your scene partner and from your director and from everyone na nandoon sa set. Of course, as actors, we deliver what’s required from us. Yes, merong intimate scenes because of my character and Joshua’s character.
“They (production) provided naman sensuality workshop. Iyong discussion about boundaries and what you’re comfortable and not comfortable doing during the scene. So that’s one of the preparations. It also helps that you always keep reminding yourself that you are not the character in the scene that you do,” paliwanag mabuti ni Jodi.
Napuri ng husto ng aktres si Joshua dahil ma-respeto, gentleman, mabait at maalaga sa kanila.
Ang “Unbreak My Heart” ay mula sa direksyon nina Emmanuel Q. Palo at Dolly Dulu mula sa Dreamscape Entertainment na mapapanood sa GMA Telebabad, Pinoy Hits, at I Heart Movies simula sa Mayo 29 sa ganap na 9:35 ng gabi; 11:25 ng gabi sa GTV.
