“It takes one to know one,” sagot ni Ms.
Malou Santos, managing director ng
Star Cinema sa tanong kung bakit todo ang suporta nila sa loveteam nina
Erich Gonzales at
Enchong Dee.
Si Ms. Malou ang nagpasikat sa mga most exciting loveteams mula kina
Aga Muhlach kasama ang iba’t ibang leading ladies (
Sharon Cuneta, Maricel Soriano, Angelica Panganiban, Claudine Barretto at iba pa),
Jericho Rosales at
Kristine Hermosa, Sam Milbyand
Toni Gonzaga, John Lloyd Cruz and
Sarah Geronimo,
John Lloyd and
Bea Alonzo, Kim Chui and
Gerald Anderson, KC Concepcion and
Richard Gutierrez, Angelica and
Derek Ramsey.
“I’m a
movie fan myself,” say ni Ms. Malou tulad din daw ng kanyang sister na si Ms.
Charo Santos-Concio, presidente ng ABS-CBN. And she cheered for both
Vilma Santos and
Nora Aunor.
Kaya nga she was honored nang gumawa ng pelikula sa Star Cinema ang Star for All Seasons. At hindi lang isa, apat na beses pa -
Anak, Bata-Bata Paano Ka Ginawa, Dekada ‘70 at ang bago pa lang na
In My Life.
“I know what tickles the heart of a movie fan,” say niya habang sumusumpang movie fan siya forever.
Eh paano naman niya masasabi kung good match ang isang magka-love team? “There’s that unexplainable x-factor. A good match probably means that, first, both stars are good actors; the partnership should be able to transcend genres; they are effective in drama,
comedy, light romance, etc. Both stars should be driven and be united in the vision of where they will take their partnership.”
At ngayon, ang loveteam nina Erich and Enchong nga ang pinu-push nila. Binigyan agad sila ng solo movie na
I Do na showing na
September 29.
“I had the gut feeling that Erich and Enchong are a good match when I saw them in
Katorse and then in
Tanging Yaman and
Magkaribal. May chemistry ‘yung dalawa. You just can’t miss it. They look good together, they enjoy what they’re doing. They are both driven to succeed. They act really well and I think they will make it.”
Eh paano naman nila bini-build up ang loveteam? “Television is always almost all the time the springboard. If the audience embraces the loveteam, it is when we take them to the movies,” katuwiran ni Ms. Malou.
Ang I Do ay dinidirek ni
Veronica Velasco.
Ka-join din sa movie sina
Pokwang, Dennis Padilla, Janus del Prado, Nash Aguas, Ricardo Cepeda, Isay Alvarez, Jun Urbanowith
Melai Cantiveros.
