BIANCA KING has had no sleep when we talked to her at GMA. She came from the taping of “Luna Blanca” then went to the French embassy to apply for a Schengen visa as she’s going to Paris for a vacation with Solenn Heussaff next month. She currently has no day off. MWF, she shoots for GMA Films’ filmfest entry, “Sosy Problems”. TTS, she tapes for “Luna Blanca”. Sundays, she’s in “Party Pilipinas”.
“I’m not complaining,” she says. “Enjoy naman ako. I just requested Party P na wag muna ko bigyan ng dance number kasi it requires another day of rehearsals. Hosting and singing na lang muna ako.”
In “Luna Blanca”, her black character, Luna, has turned white last night. “I requested from my encanto father, Carlos Morales, na paputiin ako and he did. He also made me very rich. Nagkita na kami ni Heart (Evangelista) as Blanca but she didn’t recognize me as she knows me na maitim.”
What’s her role in “Sosy Problems”? “Four friends kami rito nina Heart, Rhian Ramos and Solenn. Lahat kami, rich. Rhian is the richest among us. I’m the daughter of a politician who’s hounded for ill gotten wealth. Actually, poor na ako but still pretending to be rich. Ako lang ang may leading man dito, si Mikael Daez. Sina Heart, pag-aagawan si Aljur Abrenica.”
What does she think are the chances of their film against the bigger filmfest entries? “GMA Films Pres. Anette Gozon said we should not pressure ourselves into competing with the other entries. GMA just wants to have a participation in the festival and offer something light and funny for the Christmas season. We’re not shooting this with the mindset na lalaban kami sa box office or sa awards. Of course, we hope people will watch it and make it a hit, and if we’d win awards, di salamat.”
How true are reports she and Dennis Trillo have split and no longer see each other? “We don’t see each other only because we’re both busy. He’s also in a new movie, ‘Shake, Rattle & Roll 14’, kaya pareho kaming may filmfest entry, and he has a new soap with Marian Rivera, ‘Temptation of Wife’. Nagkikita kami sa Party P.”
