Filmmaker Joyce Bernal admitted having a hard time finishing the horror-comedy film “Da Possessed,” with his leading man Vhong Navarro having been traumatized following the controversial mauling incident that occurred some months back.
Joyce said she tried everything to help the actor regain his bearings, even going on to ask the help of the film’s leading lady, Solenn Heussaff.
“Mahirap sabihing move on and huwag pansinin ang problema, on going kasi (ang filming), (so) usap kami ng ibang bagay,” explained Joyce. “Si Solenn kinausap ko siya. Kasi itong si Vhong kahit tumingin sa boobs or lips hindi kaya. So she has to make him comfortable na di magka-feeling na nanamantala.”
It was hard but thankfully, Vhong followed through. “Mahirap i-direk si Vhong kasi roller-coaster emosyon niya pero nakakasabay siya sa mga co-stars niyang komedyante,” attested Joyce.
Vhong is grateful for the director’s efforts. He is even more grateful for Solenn, especially since it was their first time to work with each other.
“Nakatulong talaga ‘yung ginawa ni direk Joyce na pag-uusap sa aming dalawa ni Solenn. Kinailangan kasi ‘yung mga eksena namin, in-love na in-love kami sa isa’t-isa. At hindi pa kami nagka-time mag workshop para magka-bonding,” shared Vhong.
So how did Solenn do it?
“I possessed him with my happiness,” she replied.
Despite the two pairing for the first time, Joyce is confident about their chemistry.
She was surprised with Solenn’s comedic flair. Joyce described Solenn’s comedic timing as impressive. She also noted how quick she was able to establish “great rapport” with Vhong and the entire cast. The director commented that Solenn’s performance was “refreshing.”
