FANS of Sarah Geronimo are complaining because she reportedly got only P200, 000 as talent fee in “A Very Special Love” and a little higher in “You Changed My Life,” whereas KC Concepcion gets P5 million per movie. “Di hamak na mas malaki ang kita ng movies ni Sarah kaysa kay KC,” they wrote us. “Unfair namang sobrang liit ang bayad sa kanya kumpara kay KC.”
It’s said that KC gets an even bigger talent fee than Judy Ann Santos or Piolo Pascual who get only P3 to P4 million per project. “What did she do to deserve this very big talent fee?” Sarah’s fans want to know.
All we can say is: don’t blame KC. It’s not her fault that her manager, Shirley Kuan, is more successful in clinching bigger deals for her. This is what happens when a manager is good in bargaining for their talents, like Annabelle Rama who obtained multi-million peso deals for Heart Evangelista when she signed up with GMA-7 and Mommy Rose Flaminiano who also got a big fat talent fee for Gabby Concepcion with ABS-CBN. Maybe, Sarah’s managers should demand more.
In fairness to Viva Films, they say it’s not true that Sarah got only P200,000. That amount is only from Star Cinema’s end. Since her movies are co-prods with Viva, she got another bigger salary from them. Plus she also got a P1 million bonus. Is that enough to satisfy Sarah protectors?
MULING pinatunayan nina John Lloyd Cruz at SARAH GERONIMO ang magic ng kanilang tambalan. Sa first day ng movie nilang YOU CHANGED MY LIFE, ay naungusan na nila ang record ng una nilang pelikula ang A VERY SPECIAL LOVE. According to Star Cinema, P18 million ang first day ng nasabing movie. Kaya naman ang masaya ang mga artista ng pelikula lalo na si direk Cathy Garcia-Molina. Inisip daw nito na baka hindi nila maabot ang tagumpay ng una niyang ginawa.
After the premiere night, nagkaroon ng cast party, dito na binuhos nina Lloydie at SARAH ang nararamdaman nila sa isa’t-isa. Aminadong malungkot daw sila dahil hindi nila alam kung mauulit pa ang pagtatambal nila o kung mangyari man ay baka raw matagalan.
Pag-amin pa ng POP PRINCESS, “Hindi ako nahihiyang sabihin na mahal na mahal ko si John Lloyd pero walang malisya. Walang romantic or something. Sa dalawang movie na pinagsamahan namin, natutunan ko siyang mahalin bilang siya hindi bilang katrabaho. Mami-miss ko siya kasi two months akong mawawala sa Pilipinas. Salamat sa kanya sa lahat.”
The on-screen tandem of John Lloyd Cruz and Sarah Geronimo proves its power on ticket sales once again. Their second movie team up, You Changed My Life, was reported to have raked P18 Million nationwide gross on its opening day alone last February 25 according to Star Cinema Booking and Distribution. This surpasses the P14 Million nationwide opening day gross of A Very Special Love, which premiered last year.
A Very Special Love’s box office success earned John Lloyd and Sarah the recognition as Box Office King and Queen from the SM Cinema management. The warm reception for their team up gave birth to the idea of having the sequel, You Changed My Life, which was also helmed by AVSL director Cathy Garcia-Molina and produced by Star Cinema and Viva Films. Although it’s still early to say, John Lloyd and Sarah are already projected to claim the Box Office King and Queen title once again this time around for You Changed My Life.
Although there’s a big reason to celebrate, both John Lloyd and Sarah admitted to Showbiz News Ngayon that they’re a bit sad that the whole movie experience is now over. The Pop Star Princess will go on a concert tour in North America this March and April while the award-winning actor will return to the taping of his hit teleserye I Love Betty La Fea with his ka-love team Bea Alonzo.
Sarah reveals the kind of friend she found in John Lloyd through the course of the shooting of their two films. “In this business madalang makahanap ng taong ipaparamdam sa ‘yo na hindi ka lang basta ka-trabaho. Hindi ka lang babatiin kasi magkatrabaho kayo, papakitaan ka ng maganda dahil may nakakakitang ibang tao. Kay John Lloyd nabura ‘yung perception na ‘yun. Nagpapasalamat ako kay Lord na binigyan niya ako ng pagkakataong makilala ang isang John Lloyd Cruz.”
On the other hand, John Lloyd talked about what he will miss most about Sarah. “Meron siyang special power. She has this endearing quality to make people feel very special. Parang magic. Papasok siya ng kwarto and everyone biglang magla-light up ‘yung face. Instantly lahat nahahawa sa aura niya.”
Be sure to catch You Changed My Life now showing in theaters nationwide.
Magmaktol man ang fans, sori na lang…
John Lloyd, desidido nang iwan si Bea para kay Sarah
Kay raming fans nina John Lloyd Cruz at Bea Alonzo ang nagagalit kung bakit kailangang mawala si “Armando” sa “I Love Betty La Fea” na pinagtatambalan ng dalawa.
Kahit ano ang paliwanag ni TsongkiJohn ay dehins ito nauunawaan ng mga tagahanga ng tambalan nila ni Bea Babes dahil ayaw ng mga fans na may ibang pumasok sa eksena.
Pero decided talaga ang aktor na hayaang makapanghimasok sa buhay ni Betty si Jericho Rosales para lalong umigting ang mga kabanata sa kanilang numero-unong serye.
Ang pangako naman ni Direk Eric Salud ay lalo pa nga nilang mapapalitaw kung gaano kabagay sina Betty at Armando kapag nawala na sa buhay ng pinakamagandang pangit ang simpatikong leading man.
Sa totoo lang, mga tsongkibabes na sumusubaybay sa ILBLF ng Kapamilya network, may mga dapat unahin ngayon si Lloydie dahil naghihintay na po ang follow-up movie nila ni Sarah Geronimo at ang movie naman nila ni Gov. Vilma Santos. Kaya please, give way (please give way daw, o!).
Ang alam ni TsongkiBenj ay dehins pwedeng sumabay ang Star Cinema sa playdate ng Richard Gutierrez-KC Concepcion movie ngayong February sa Valentine’s week opening.
Nevertheless, uubra naman kung hahabulin nila ang magandang playdate after the release of the Chard-KC movie ng GMA Films. Dito tiyak na magpapang-abot din sila kung papatok sa takilya ang ikalawang tambalan nina Chard at KC.
Sa hinuha namin, patok na naman ang balik-tambalan nina Lloydie at SarahBabes, after their blockbuster movie “A Very Special Love.”
So, dehins din maiiwasan ang banggaang GMA Films at Star Cinema, kung ganun. Exciting malaman kung sino ang mas panonoorin ng nakararami!
