"Don't be afraid to fail, because it's these experiences
that allow you to find the strength and understanding needed
for your story to be realistic."
I like it.
Well, miss, it looks you have a film.
Thank you!
YOU OK FOR 3PM URGENT MEETING REGARDING THE "JUST US" PROJECT?
Have you seen the trailer of Now Until Forevermore?
-The latest Liz Quen movie? -Yes.
Not yet.
We saw the trailer,
and your story is similar to it.
And honestly,
your story is kind of...
Kind of mainstream.
I know you know that.
I watched I'm Drunk, I Hate You.
It was good.
I read your treatment.
It was OK, but...
we can make it better.
He will help you a lot, dear.
Goodness, trust me, relationship stories are his forte.
And. And!
you need to finish the script
We can do it.
You can do it.
So, game?
Is that it?
I'm game.
I'm good.
Here.
I studied what you wrote.
We can take out some scenes. A lot, actually.
Why?
What a waste.
This is what they liked when I pitched.
The opening scene, the meet-cute.
You crossed it out?
Then, how did they meet?
For me, the stages of love works.
We're revising the script, right? It's no longer a boy-meets-girl story.
between Marco and Joyce
their relationship should go deeper and farther.
I think the ending you wrote
is just a part of act two.
Is this your first script?
You're aware of acts one to three?
Aftermath, that's important as well.
What the character learned.
What changed at the end of the story.
So, your sequence 43,
that can be the first scene, but we'll work on it, OK?
Here it is.
Sure.
Sorry, I need to take this.
Yes, sir.
That's the schedule, on the calendar.
Yes.
I'll be at the office in 15 minutes.
Yes.
Yes, sir. I'll figure something out. Sorry.
Yes.
OK.
It's OK.
It established how Joyce cherishes their days together.
You see that Marco appreciates it, but I kind of feel a lack of sincerity.
Is the La Union scene next?
I don't think it's needed.
I'm in a meeting.
Yes. OK, I'll see you later, OK?
Let's make Marco more preoccupied but sweet.
Joyce is longing but content.
We're at Joyce's house.
Fish crackers and duck eggs is their family business.
She sits beside Aly, mid 20s,
her band mates.
He's just really busy.
When will he have time for you?
Harsh. You're so judgmental.
He's just busy now. He'll make it up to me sometime.
Bring this to your gig so it won't go to waste.
Here we go again, Ma.
We haven't finished the other ones.
Don't worry about it. When you go to Korea, you'll miss our fish crackers.
Have you told Marco?
I'm waiting for the right time.
Don't worry about it. I'll deal with Marco.
I'll call him. Give me your cell phone.
If I call Marco, I'm sure he will let you go.
And also, Dubai is close by. He'll say yes.
Grandma, Korea, not Dubai.
That's what I said, Korea. Korea is not far.
Grandma, believe in me. I can do this. I'll tell him.
-Bye, Grandma. -Sure?
Yes, Grandma.
Be careful.
If you want, I'll bring you home a dirty old man from Korea.
We'll go ahead.
Rose,
Wendy,
what do you want as gifts?
-Seriously? -Wow, gifts.
Tell him.
Suck up. Keep dreaming.
Why is it all women in Joyce's house?
Where is her father, Cesar?
Why is it all women in Joyce's house?
Isn't it obvious?
Rose is a single mother.
if there's no strong male figure in Joyce's life?
That her dad left them for another woman and disappeared.
There's a lot of situations like that.
Do you have a problem with fathers?
No. What about you?
No.
So what's the problem?
None.
If you only knew how snobby he is.
He always has a sour face and doesn't know how to smile.
Here, ma'am.
Miss, a lighter shade of yellow. Like the one before, but lighter.
You know what? Me and Rod were like that.
-Whatever. -Really.
I was really annoyed by him at first.
One day, I got him to notice me.
I wore a floral dress.
Then, he sent me a note.
"Have you seen the movie, Chances?"
Sweetheart,
You've been together almost two weeks.
Ma, we're just writing a script. That's it.
Here, ma'am.
Miss, do you really not know what a lighter shade of yellow is?
In showbiz, actors aren't the only ones that develop feelings.
That's true! Like writers, directors, staff and producers.
They end up together because they're always together.
Your favorite...
Wait a second.
There, Antoinette Jadaone and Dan Villegas.
They're both directors.
That's right, I saw them on stories together in Dubai--
Hey!
Stop that.
Ma'am,
what about red instead.
I will give
Everything
I'm ready to do
Everything you wish
Even if in return
My heart hurts
I'm with you
Through all the difficult and happy times
Even if you hurt my feelings
I'll still be there
By your side
When I love
I will do all of this
It won't change
I won't long
For anything else
When I love
Even if I cry
I won't be ashamed
I'm ready to endure it
When I
When I love
What's your plan?
He will come!
Joyce, I'll take you home.
Are you Ms. Joyce Aquino?
Yes.
Angkas delivery from Mabolo Flower Shop.
Marco's got moves.
Guys, please help, it's heavy. Thank you.
Heavy, like a kid.
All of that is 199.
That's 199?
Only 199 pesos?
Here's the 200th.
I knew you would show up.
But why are you late? You knew this gig was important to me.
I'm sorry. It's been a stressful day.
Really? Are you OK?
I'll be OK if you give me a kiss.
Keep hoping.
It's OK.
It's good.
Seriously?
Really, it worked for you?
Nothing to delete or revise?
you agree with me.
What? It's true.
Writing becomes good through revision.
Why are you so chill?
Just enjoy it.
I am enjoying it.
You're cute.
Babe, how much longer?
