00:05 Julia Alden, welcome!
00:08 It's a beautiful studio.
00:10 It's my first time here.
00:12 Wait, RJ. Let's welcome Julia first.
00:15 Julia, I think this is your first time here at GMA, right?
00:19 Actually, no.
00:20 I've been here before, but right now, yes, it's my first time.
00:24 Hey, that's your point.
00:25 So let's talk about the people who are not here at night.
00:28 [laughter]
00:30 Because every last fall before, I've been auditioning.
00:33 I have an idol, Kap.
00:35 I hope it's you.
00:36 I'm the daughter of Robin de Rosa.
00:38 I'm also hosting shows.
00:41 And I'm also accepting auditions.
00:44 So, I have a lot of experiences.
00:46 But at least, right?
00:47 So I should be saying, "Welcome back."
00:49 Thank you. Thank you.
00:51 I'm so happy to be here.
00:52 And it's about time.
00:53 How does it feel that you're here at Kapuso Network now and you've already had a visit?
00:58 Actually, I'm happy to feel that because right now, we're not here.
01:04 Now, we're going to be alone.
01:06 So I'm happy to feel that because I always say this in interviews.
01:09 It's nice to showcase our talent, Filipinos.
01:12 We're not here.
01:14 This is it. This is it.
01:15 We're going to be alone now.
01:17 And to show other countries that this is what Filipinos can do.
01:21 That's what I enjoy.
01:23 And I'm happy with what's happening.
01:25 And speaking of coming back, Alden, after four years, you're back in the film industry.
01:31 Yes. Yes, actually.
01:33 We talked about this with Jules in one of our interviews.
01:37 But it's not released yet.
01:40 But quite frankly, I told them that blatantly, I was fearful.
01:46 Coming from the success of Hello, Love, Goodbye, of course.
01:50 It broke records.
01:52 And at the same time, it's scary.
01:55 What else can you do on top of that?
01:58 So I was afraid to accept projects in terms of movies.
02:05 Because especially when I look at the details of the projects.
02:13 Of course, my standards also increased when it comes to looking into materials.
02:19 And the projects that I'm doing.
02:22 But four years is like no joke.
02:26 It's a long time.
02:27 And what I'm hungry for is my actor side.
02:30 Will I limit myself because of fear?
02:33 And this is really our first movie with Jules.
02:40 Which is 5 Breakup in a Romance.
02:42 I feel like it's a divine intervention.
02:44 Why do you say so?
02:46 Even though I haven't met Julia yet, of course there were questions.
02:50 I had my impressions of her and she had the same to me.
02:55 But when I saw her on the first day, I said, "I'm done."
03:00 This is it.
03:01 This is the game.
03:02 We still talk awkwardly every now and then.
03:05 We're greeting each other with Director Gary.
03:07 It's like a dream.
03:10 Maybe because our group has Director Irene and I have Alden.
03:14 We both have the same feeling of being scared but at the same time excited.
03:22 And we're the type of people who are sometimes quiet and misunderstood.
03:29 But we have the same mindset that we can do this.
03:32 So teamwork.
03:33 That's where it's really fun to work.
03:36 Because you're all alone.
03:37 Everything you think of from the very start is already done.
03:41 So it's fun to work.
03:42 Actually, we didn't even feel like working.
03:44 We're excited every time.
03:47 It's like bonding.
03:48 More on bonding.
03:49 Yes.
03:50 I haven't told you this yet, but one of the things I want to say to you is this.
03:55 Alden, sometimes when I get close to you or when you see me quiet in a corner,
04:01 I'm okay.
04:02 Don't pay attention to me.
04:03 I've been so used to the setup that I'm careful when it comes to my colleagues.
04:13 You're also touchy, right?
04:15 I'm just being seen.
04:16 You're annoying.
04:17 Sometimes, it's just muscle memory.
04:20 But with that, I said, "We're both the same."
04:23 Because there are times also that I don't want to talk to anyone.
04:26 I just want to be alone.
04:27 Julia sees that on set.
04:30 I see that in her.
04:31 And we respect that.
04:33 If we want to talk, we'll talk.
04:35 If not, it's fine.
04:36 There's also an instance where he's not used to it.
04:38 Maybe because as a leading man, they're used to taking care of each other.
04:41 For me, personally, it's my nature to take care of my colleagues and friends.
04:47 So I just asked him about one of our big scenes.
04:50 Actually, it was the first two days of shooting.
04:52 The scene was really heavy.
04:54 I told him, "Bro, if you need anything, just tell me."
04:57 "Do you want me to go first?"
04:59 Because it was his shot.
05:01 And it's hard for an actor.
05:03 Yes, because it's emotional.
05:04 Yes, it's emotional.
05:05 And your co-actor won't support you on the other side of the camera.
05:09 Because all the cameras are on you.
05:10 So he was surprised.
05:12 "Are you serious?"
05:13 Of course, normally, a woman gives to another woman.
05:15 I told him, "No, you go first."
05:17 "Because you're already in the emotions."
05:18 "Can I go there?"
05:20 Because I didn't have the shot yet.
05:22 I told him, "You're wasting your emotions. Just go."
05:24 Then he was shocked.
05:25 I told him, "You're not used to being asked, right?"
05:28 He was really shocked.
05:30 So the only thing I can do for Julia, and for me,
05:33 was to give out the same level of emotions even if we don't have the shot.
05:38 And the other thing is,
05:41 there are so many beautiful happenings off-cam while doing this project.
05:46 So that's how we are.
05:49 Is there pressure on the material?
05:51 Because I know that in Hello, Love, Goodbye,
05:54 your role has matured.
05:57 But this time, your maturity has increased.
06:02 Actually, in everything that's new,
06:05 in everything that we don't understand or don't know,
06:09 there's always fear in the end.
06:13 But as you go along the process, you have to enjoy it.
06:20 Because in that way, you get to discover something new about yourself.
06:24 I discovered a lot.
06:26 All in all.
06:27 This is raw.
06:28 For Alden, I've watched him from the past projects he's done.
06:32 He's given a different side to this.
06:34 Because normally, when you promote, we always say,
06:37 "I'm different here."
06:38 "This is different."
06:39 "This is a difficult role."
06:40 Yes.
06:41 For him, it's true.
06:42 Because it's raw, it was so nice during our journey while shooting it.
06:46 Because we were both given raw.
06:48 It's like he just looked at what we were going to give.
06:51 It became automatic for us.
06:53 So it was so nice during the whole journey.
06:56 It's in the raw.
06:57 Julia is generous.
06:59 I'm also generous.
07:01 So it's like that.
07:02 It's just reciprocation.
07:04 In every moment.
07:07 And it's your first time working together.
07:12 But when we saw the trailer,
07:14 the kissing scene,
07:18 and your fight.
07:19 Yes, the viral video.
07:22 Yes.
07:23 But your chemistry is amazing.
07:28 Alden is caring.
07:30 Personally, I'm not the type to be touchy.
07:36 But I have restrictions.
07:39 And then this movie,
07:41 I became more open in the sense of,
07:44 the character is beautiful.
07:45 The way Direct Irene wrote it.
07:47 With the whole team, I felt that this time,
07:50 I need to trust.
07:52 And they gave me that because they trusted me.
07:55 And they made me feel,
07:57 I felt that I can trust myself.
08:02 That's what they gave me.
08:04 So now, I can do this.
08:06 They said I can do this.
08:07 I'll jump with them.
08:09 The reason I'm saying this is,
08:12 the scene in the trailer where you fought,
08:14 that was shot on the first day.
08:16 First day?
08:17 First day, day one, everything.
08:19 Yes, everything.
08:20 First scene.
08:21 How was that?
08:22 It was hard.
08:23 It was hard for us.
08:25 Because usually when we do projects,
08:27 at one point, it's like a chronological order.
08:29 You need to break in first.
08:31 You know, that's Direct Irene.
08:33 That's Direct.
08:34 But prior to that,
08:37 I don't know, we were in the stage,
08:39 or we were already in the orientation.
08:41 Sorry, this is it.
08:42 Sorry, this is it.
08:43 Because of other constraints,
08:45 or what we need to do.
08:47 Because of the location, and the schedules.
08:49 And then we said, yes, I said, okay, let's do that.
08:52 Now, with Julia,
08:57 with how I work with her,
08:58 it's nice to explore,
09:00 like that kind of moment,
09:02 that's not normal in a movie,
09:04 or any projects,
09:05 that your first day, big scene,
09:07 emotional, very challenging scenes.
09:12 But, it's okay.
09:14 Did that happen to you?
09:16 Because you're like, you're taking a risk.
09:18 That scene.
09:19 That scene?
09:20 Is there one?
09:21 Who's the one who answered?
09:24 No, because, you know,
09:28 There's a defense right away.
09:29 Because we're like, reasonable,
09:31 you can say that.
09:32 We're not like, just shout.
09:34 No, because I'm that type of person,
09:37 if I know I'm on the reasonable side,
09:40 I'm not saying I'm right, but I'm reasonable.
09:42 I will fight for that reason.
09:44 Because it's not possible,
09:46 in a relationship, for it to work,
09:48 it's not possible for someone to always bow,
09:50 and always bow.
09:51 But also, I think,
09:53 in other relationships,
09:56 it's normal for someone to bow,
10:00 which is good.
10:01 But, like that,
10:02 it's like,
10:04 your integrity is at stake.
10:07 You want to fight, no matter what.
10:10 That's not the reason.
10:12 You just have to hear me out.
10:13 Because, if I'm wrong, I say sorry.
10:15 I don't explain.
10:16 I explain if I want an explanation,
10:18 but if I'm sorry, then I'm sorry.
10:21 You thought you were absolved?
10:23 Let's go!
10:24 Did that happen to you?
10:26 I'm excited.
10:27 For me,
10:29 maybe I'm not that brave.
10:32 I have a habit of not talking.
10:35 The more I'm quiet,
10:37 the more I should be afraid.
10:39 The more you're angry.
10:40 Yes, the more I'm angry.
10:41 Because I don't want to talk.
10:42 I have a habit of not talking
10:43 because I know it hurts.
10:45 Or, I feel like,
10:47 the verbal is more painful than the physical.
10:51 For me, that's my mindset.
10:52 So, when it comes to words,
10:54 I'm afraid so I won't get hurt.
10:56 I won't talk.
10:57 And sometimes, of course,
10:58 you can't avoid getting hurt.
11:00 So, when I talk,
11:01 even if I don't shout,
11:02 I feel like that's more painful
11:04 because it's the first time you'll hear me,
11:06 that I have feelings,
11:07 that I'm not okay anymore,
11:09 why am I talking like that?
11:10 Or, that's your feelings,
11:12 why did you say that?
11:13 I'm just like that.
11:15 It's not that intense.
11:16 But, if it's right,
11:17 maybe it's more intense.
11:18 Emotionally, it's intense,
11:20 but not verbalized.
11:22 Not verbalized.
11:23 What are the traits that you both like about each other
11:27 that are so unique
11:29 that you haven't seen in your previous work?
11:32 All of them.
11:33 I'm always like, "Happy Birthday."
11:36 No, keeping aside.
11:38 It's like that.
11:41 I treat this as,
11:43 like a couple, right, Jules?
11:45 You won't know the anger of your partner
11:47 unless you'll be in one room.
11:49 And in our case,
11:52 you'll never really know the person
11:54 not until you get to work with them.
11:56 And,
11:57 Julia's bad trait?
11:59 Bad trait?
12:02 Those things.
12:04 Are there?
12:05 There are.
12:06 But,
12:07 it's not like that.
12:08 It's unique to her
12:09 when she's trying to make a point.
12:11 But,
12:12 they say that there's a need and a flaw.
12:15 Even her flaws make her who she is.
12:18 So, I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
12:21 So,
12:22 that's how Julia is in my perspective.
12:26 Wow.
12:28 Alden's being genuine.
12:31 Because,
12:33 in our world,
12:35 we've worked a lot,
12:37 we've had a lot of experiences
12:39 with our co-actors.
12:41 With him,
12:42 I don't think I had a bad experience.
12:44 And,
12:45 I felt like I was proven wrong.
12:47 I was just kidding.
12:48 It happened.
12:49 That's when I appreciated that
12:51 maybe that's why he's in his position.
12:53 Because,
12:54 he's here.
12:55 And that's what I said,
12:56 I hope people will see more.
12:58 Because,
12:59 Alden has a lot of sides that they haven't seen.
13:01 They haven't seen the deeper side,
13:04 Alden's heart.
13:05 And,
13:06 maybe he's the one who makes me feel
13:08 that I'm special in this world.
13:11 Because, that's my problem.
13:12 Sometimes, I have a fear to do something.
13:15 But, this time,
13:16 with him,
13:17 and with the team,
13:18 I felt like I gained confidence.
13:20 Set forth.
13:21 Yes.
13:22 And, I realized that I can do this.
13:23 They said, "You can do it."
13:24 I really believed in that.
13:26 So, he boosted your confidence.
13:28 It's different because,
13:29 moreover,
13:30 this is not just a movie.
13:32 That, you know, just happened.
13:34 This is a life journey.
13:36 Us,
13:37 and the whole team.
13:38 Even Direk Irene.
13:39 She was part of it.
13:40 She was a big part of it.
13:42 Yes, it's life.
13:43 This is our life journey.
13:44 I'm not saying that our life is
13:47 like the movie.
13:48 But, you know,
13:49 once you get to know,
13:51 like what I said before,
13:53 before we started this film,
13:55 it's like,
13:56 I was not in a good place.
13:59 I was lost at that point.
14:03 And then, I said yes to this,
14:05 not knowing that this will be the cure.
14:09 So, I didn't...
14:12 You want to elaborate on that?
14:14 Well, of course,
14:15 as we go along,
14:17 like,
14:18 patience,
14:19 because everything has limits.
14:21 Like,
14:22 you can't always be kind.
14:25 Because, if you're always kind,
14:27 you'll always be able to achieve it.
14:28 So, that's how I noticed.
14:30 In all aspects of life.
14:31 Yes.
14:32 Not just in work.
14:33 You know,
14:34 if they need something,
14:35 that's what they need to remember.
14:37 So, I was at that point of my life
14:40 that was a struggle for me.
14:42 It's hard, I can't talk to anyone.
14:44 Actually, maybe now,
14:46 I can hear people around me.
14:48 But, that's how I was feeling that time.
14:51 And then,
14:52 it's just like that.
14:54 I was jaded by that emotion
14:56 before I started this.
14:57 And then, as we go along,
14:58 it's like that.
15:00 I was jaded
15:01 that Jules and the team
15:03 and the director
15:04 didn't know that
15:05 that's their effect on me.
15:06 That's why I treasure this bond
15:08 that I have with these people so much.
15:10 Because they have helped me
15:12 through the lowest of the lowest points of my life.
15:16 In my, what,
15:17 31 years of existence.
15:19 You're crazy.
15:20 Yes.
15:21 So, it's nice.
15:22 It's nice to feel.
15:23 How are you now?
15:24 I'm not sick.
15:26 [laughs]
15:28 No,
15:29 I'm back to my original self.
15:32 So,
15:33 Actually,
15:34 when we finished the film,
15:36 I was okay.
15:37 Wow.
15:38 Because that's how they helped me.
15:40 Without them,
15:41 they wouldn't have known.
15:42 I'm just saying that
15:43 this is how I am in my life.
15:45 But, I was not seeking,
15:47 you know, they give me comfort
15:49 by not giving me comfort.
15:51 That's great.
15:52 This is deep.
15:53 Yes.
15:54 So,
15:55 that's how it is.
15:56 Sometimes, things in life,
15:57 to solve them,
15:58 you shouldn't
15:59 solve them upfront.
16:02 You're sad,
16:03 you're looking for something to make you happy.
16:04 Sometimes, it's not that way.
16:06 It's not.
16:07 So,
16:08 sometimes,
16:09 at the end of the day,
16:11 I realized that
16:12 no one will help you
16:14 in your lowest points but yourself.
16:16 But you need people
16:18 to make you realize your worth.
16:20 That's great.
16:21 That's great.
16:22 That's great.
16:23 That's very proud.
16:24 That's different.
16:25 That's not traditional.
16:27 That's not traditional talent.
16:29 But,
16:31 Alden,
16:32 of course,
16:33 as a producer,
16:35 of this film,
16:37 did you have a hand in choosing Julia?
16:40 When...
16:41 Because,
16:42 to be honest,
16:43 when I first heard about this,
16:45 I thought that
16:47 "Is it okay?"
16:50 "Is it okay?"
16:52 Because,
16:53 I just came out of nowhere.
16:55 Alden, Julia.
16:57 Yes.
16:58 That's a very interesting question, Sir Nelson.
17:01 Because,
17:02 I've worked with Direk Irene.
17:05 This is Julia's first time.
17:06 I know how Direk
17:08 writes her stories.
17:10 I know how she is.
17:12 When she writes,
17:13 she already thinks about who she's writing for.
17:15 So, with that,
17:17 I'm giving that liberty to Direk Irene.
17:19 Because,
17:21 I'm not just the producer.
17:23 We also have JMA Pictures and Cornerstone.
17:25 And,
17:26 I've worked with Direk
17:27 since she was an AD.
17:29 Until she became my director.
17:30 And then, now for a movie.
17:31 This is my first film with her.
17:33 And I saw her previous films.
17:35 And,
17:36 it's like that.
17:37 We, Jules,
17:39 even if we're quiet,
17:40 we know
17:41 that Direk Irene
17:42 knows what she's doing.
17:43 Wow.
17:45 So, complete trust.
17:46 Complete trust.
17:47 We didn't hide it.
17:50 Julia,
17:51 what made you say yes to this?
17:53 Because,
17:54 your collabs are so good.
17:56 And, of course,
17:57 your team up with Alden.
17:59 It's so good.
18:00 You don't know if
18:01 you'll be okay on set.
18:03 Because, it's your first time working together.
18:05 Actually, my first question,
18:07 to be honest,
18:08 why me?
18:09 That's what I asked her.
18:11 Seriously, why me?
18:13 Because, out of all the releases,
18:15 why me?
18:16 And,
18:17 that's the time
18:18 before the project came.
18:20 That's my question also to myself.
18:22 What else do I want to do?
18:24 What else can I do?
18:25 Because,
18:26 I don't trust what I can do.
18:28 So, with this project,
18:30 it was my first time to say yes.
18:32 When I didn't think about it.
18:34 Jump.
18:35 I trust Direk Irene.
18:36 Even if I haven't worked with her.
18:38 And,
18:39 Alden has that vibe with me.
18:40 That she's kind.
18:41 And, game.
18:42 Let's play a game.
18:43 If you're sure about me,
18:44 let's play a game.
18:45 So, when it started,
18:46 I said,
18:47 "Lord, this is what I prayed for."
18:49 That,
18:50 what is my purpose?
18:52 Or, what do I want to do?
18:54 They answered.
18:55 The two of them.
18:56 What is film?
18:57 That's why this film is different to us.
18:59 Actually, the manifesting also,
19:00 because,
19:01 I really believe.
19:02 Because,
19:03 to meet Julia 2012,
19:05 way back,
19:06 it's a proof.
19:07 And,
19:08 without knowing that,
19:09 you know,
19:10 by any chance,
19:11 I might work with her,
19:12 at some point.
19:13 Why did you push her to the maintenance?
19:15 I think,
19:16 I was asked before,
19:17 in a press conference,
19:18 who I want to work with of my age.
19:21 Although, I'm older than Jules.
19:23 So,
19:24 but,
19:25 with,
19:26 I've seen her projects.
19:28 I've seen her craft.
19:30 I'm like that now.
19:32 I'm old.
19:33 It's like,
19:34 I'm looking at it more over the image.
19:38 Because,
19:39 you know,
19:40 the image,
19:41 because,
19:42 of course, we're in the showbiz.
19:43 We have certain,
19:44 different,
19:45 different brands.
19:46 But,
19:47 when I look for,
19:48 like,
19:49 people that I want to work with,
19:50 I want to look at their art,
19:52 and their craft.
19:53 Because,
19:54 I'm very passionate about this.
19:56 Jules is very passionate.
19:58 Like,
19:59 it's beyond my expectations,
20:01 when it comes to acting.
20:02 And, direct Irene,
20:03 the whole team.
20:04 Like,
20:05 it all fell into place,
20:07 easily.
20:08 I think that's perfect timing.
20:10 Yes.
20:11 Let's talk about,
20:12 the film,
20:13 and,
20:14 you guys,
20:15 well,
20:16 Julia and Alden.
20:17 Real,
20:18 versus real.
20:19 Yes.
20:20 So,
20:21 when you're looking at your character,
20:22 do you see yourself,
20:25 or are you saying,
20:26 "Oh no, this isn't me"?
20:28 You.
20:30 Me first?
20:31 Yes.
20:32 That's an exciting answer.
20:33 Yes.
20:34 We want to hear it,
20:35 Alden Richards.
20:36 I want to hear it.
20:37 Although,
20:38 Sir Nelson,
20:39 I'll take it there.
20:40 Because,
20:41 you know,
20:42 when I,
20:43 when I look at myself,
20:44 like,
20:45 of course,
20:46 we're "acting".
20:47 But,
20:48 I'd like to believe that,
20:49 when we,
20:50 you know,
20:51 do different characters,
20:52 it's an extension,
20:54 of ourself also.
20:56 Yes.
20:57 Like,
20:58 we are consist,
20:59 of,
21:00 like,
21:01 multiple personalities.
21:02 And,
21:03 when we do certain characters,
21:04 like,
21:05 of course,
21:06 you'll fine-tune that.
21:07 You know yourself,
21:09 you know,
21:10 I'm like,
21:11 conscious of that.
21:12 And,
21:13 I know how to get angry,
21:14 or emotional,
21:15 or,
21:16 all types of happiness.
21:17 And then,
21:18 you just fine-tune it.
21:19 You just raise this,
21:20 this portion of your personality.
21:22 And then,
21:23 you raise it.
21:24 It's like,
21:25 in editing,
21:26 in audio.
21:27 Yes.
21:28 So,
21:29 that's why,
21:30 that's how I deal with my character.
21:31 And,
21:32 that's how I see,
21:33 my craft.
21:34 Because,
21:35 I'm very,
21:36 into it.
21:37 Because,
21:38 it's so good to do.
21:39 Like,
21:40 I'm so full here,
21:41 after I said yes to this.
21:42 So,
21:43 when it regards,
21:44 when it regards to,
21:45 if it's related,
21:46 always,
21:47 in all of our characters,
21:48 I think.
21:49 Because,
21:50 that's still me,
21:51 but in a different name,
21:52 in a different costume,
21:53 maybe.
21:54 So,
21:55 you really put Alden
21:56 in your character,
21:57 all the time?
21:58 Yes.
21:59 I am.
22:00 It's like,
22:01 don't act the character,
22:02 be the character.
22:03 Be the character.
22:04 Wow.
22:05 And,
22:06 maybe,
22:07 in my magic,
22:08 as an artist,
22:09 you can share a part of your heart,
22:11 in the characters.
22:12 Yes.
22:13 So,
22:14 sometimes,
22:15 we treat it as,
22:16 we have our personal problems,
22:18 and it's like a therapy,
22:19 because you can cry it out.
22:21 And,
22:22 my joke is,
22:23 you'll cry,
22:24 but you'll pay for it.
22:25 That's the motivation.
22:26 So,
22:27 you'll cry here,
22:28 but you'll pay for it here.
22:29 Yes.
22:30 I mean,
22:31 you just make it positive,
22:32 that if you have something,
22:33 problem,
22:34 or whatever,
22:35 at least here,
22:36 you can share a part of that emotion,
22:37 that you'll feel,
22:38 that you'll feel,
22:39 by the people,
22:40 or by the audience.
22:41 But,
22:42 you're also a person,
22:43 you're able to release,
22:44 so,
22:45 it's nice.
22:46 And, you'll pay for it.
22:47 That's it.
22:48 We'll go with that.
22:49 We'll go with the payment.
22:50 Good sidebar.
22:51 What are your realizations,
22:53 after portraying your characters,
22:55 that you brought,
22:57 in real life?
22:59 For me,
23:00 the big lesson for me,
23:01 as Justine,
23:02 you can plan,
23:04 as many as you can,
23:06 as you want,
23:07 but,
23:08 sometimes,
23:09 your plan is not the perfect plan,
23:10 in God's perfect time.
23:12 And, this project,
23:13 made me feel,
23:15 that,
23:16 I can still feel,
23:19 do,
23:21 that I haven't seen before,
23:23 or I haven't seen the worth,
23:25 but now, I felt it,
23:26 and the team felt it,
23:27 they felt it in me.
23:29 So, that's my take away,
23:30 in this film.
23:32 Alden?
23:33 For me,
23:34 it's like,
23:35 yes,
23:36 it's nice to have love,
23:37 but,
23:38 not in all the situations.
23:40 That's the answer.
23:41 That's deep.
23:44 Yes.
23:45 You know,
23:48 there's a scene that was discussed,
23:50 the group study,
23:51 that scene,
23:53 it went viral.
23:55 Can we,
23:57 can we have a sample?
23:59 Sure, sure.
24:01 I'm ready.
24:02 Are you ready?
24:03 Yes.
24:04 I was born ready.
24:06 So,
24:07 wait,
24:09 let's read the script.
24:10 Oh, there's a prompter.
24:11 Oh, there's a prompter.
24:12 Oh, my God.
24:13 What? Did you turn?
24:15 I suddenly felt tense.
24:16 You turned.
24:17 Okay.
24:18 But,
24:19 okay.
24:20 On your cue, Sir Nelson.
24:21 Okay.
24:22 Quiet on the set.
24:23 5, 4, 3, 2.
24:26 You're still early.
24:31 Wait,
24:33 I'm still early?
24:34 You're the one who's early.
24:35 Why are you so insensitive?
24:38 It's a group study.
24:42 We didn't plan the time.
24:44 What do you want to hear?
24:45 You're always like that.
24:47 Always?
24:53 Really? Always?
24:56 Yes. Why? Isn't it?
24:57 Why?
24:58 I'm scared.
25:03 I'm scared that
25:06 I'll separate you four.
25:07 Because these two might reach each other.
25:10 I'm afraid that I might get a cold.
25:13 I'm so scared.
25:14 It's painful.
25:15 But, I mean,
25:16 that's just a, you know,
25:17 it's a scene draft.
25:18 That's just the tip of the iceberg
25:20 of that whole scene.
25:21 That's, I think,
25:22 one of the highlights of our film.
25:24 That's that scene.
25:25 Maybe, it's like that in a relationship.
25:26 It's not just a long-term relationship.
25:29 It's not just a fight.
25:31 Two, three.
25:32 There are many differences.
25:34 Different levels of fight.
25:38 And it really depends on the couple
25:40 if they'll fight until the end.
25:42 So, actually, that's part of the question in the film.
25:45 The two love each other.
25:46 Until when will they fight?
25:48 Or when will they face each other?
25:50 Wow.
25:51 I watched a reel
25:52 on a social media platform.
25:54 TikTok, I think.
25:55 This woman, like an old lady,
25:58 maybe in her 60s or 70s,
26:01 then she was asked,
26:02 "What's the secret for a long marriage?"
26:05 I mean,
26:06 they'll get old.
26:07 Every day is constant work.
26:10 You won't rest.
26:12 That is true.
26:13 Because you'll have to work on your relationship.
26:16 And I think, sometimes,
26:18 like with the generation now,
26:20 I'm not saying that everything is like this.
26:23 At some point,
26:24 the generation right now,
26:25 they see love as
26:27 "It's easy. Just go in and out."
26:31 It's not like that.
26:32 I mean, if that's the situation,
26:35 then it's not love.
