Maria, Ian Veneracion and Richard Yap titled <i>The Achy Breaky Hearts</i>.</div><div><br/></div><div>According to the hugot director, she never really had to make an effort to show the chemistry between the three actors.</div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>Dito madali lang kasi may kilig talaga sa kanila. Kailangan ko na lang angguluhan, sabihin sa kanila kung papano ‘yung eksena,</i>” she said during the movie’s press conference. </div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>Pero ‘yung kilig po, parang built in na ‘yung kilig. Hindi na kailangan i-direct ang kilig,</i>” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>The “built in kilig” that Direk Tonette was talking about could have started in <i>Pangako Sa’Yo</i> for Ian and Jodi and in <i>Be Careful With My Heart </i>for Richard and Jodi.</div><div><br/></div><div>But the “directorial magic” that brings about kilig vibes, according to Direk Tonette, is nothing but mere collaboration.</div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>Siguro ‘yung mga ibang eksena tinatanong ko sila kung pano ang nakakakilig para sa kanila sa eksena,</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>For Direk Tonette, all good love stories have already been told but it’s just up to the people behind the camera to tell it differently.</div><div><br/></div><div><i>'Siyempre hindi naman pwedeng ako nalang kasi magiging pare-pareho ang kilig sa bawat project. So sila, hindi naman sila madamot sa pagshe-share ng kilig sa kanilang mga eksena.” </i></div><div><br/></div><div>According to Direk Tonette she welcomes insights and suggestions on the characters’ nuances because she believes that the actors sometimes know their characters better. </div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>Feeling ko ‘yun ang reason kung bakit nagiging masaya ang bawat eksena kasi hindi lang ako ang nag-di-direct ng eksena, sila rin</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>How does she feel about the huge expectation on her films?</div><div><br/></div><div>“<i>Ako habang ginagawa ko ang movie, hindi ko iniisip kung magki-click ba? Kikita ba siya? Kasi kapag inisip ko na siya sa start baka hindi napo ako makatulog, ma-pressure ako lalo. Siguro mape-pressure ako sa June 29 na,</i>” she joked.</div><div><br/></div>
