KUNG TUTUUSIN daw, sa naganap na confrontation between Mother Lily and veteran writer Alfie Lorenzo ay incidental lang ang ginagampanang karakter ng Regal producer.
So, sinu-sino pala ang bumubuo ng dramatis personae?
The cast is led by Judy Ann Santos. At kumbaga sa billing, nasa second deck si Kuya Alfie as Juday’s manager. Pero sa pagkakataong ito, Joey Reyes does not direct the film kundi kasama rin siya sa cast.
This we found out from a reliable source. It was Direk Joey who went straight to Juday for a project intended for the MMFF, na inoohan naman ng aktres.
Ang pagkukulang ni Juday, hindi niya ini-refer ang offer sa kanya kay Kuya Alfie na SOP naman. Maybe, Direk Joey had his reasons for sidetracking the deal. Baka sometime in the past ay nagkaengkuwentro na sila.
All along, Mother Lily was privy to the iddue between Kuya Alfie and Direk Joey, kaya nu’ng nakaraang event where talakan ensued between the producer and the writer ay sinadyang hindi na papuntahin ng Regal matriarch ang director. Instead, she invited Kuya Alfie.
Sabi nga ng aming source, “Imagine, wala ‘yung direktor ng pelikula sa sarili niyang presscon?”
Let the incident—to prevent it from happening again—serve as a lesson sa mga artista who bypass their managers. Ewan, baka may personal ding dahilan si Juday for keeping the deal under the rug.
