ANGELI KHANG just scored a hit with “Mahjong Nights” and she now topbills another erotic flick where she plays the title role, “Eva”, Vivamax’ special holiday presentation for the Yuletide season.
How different is her latest screen outing from “Mahjong Nights” and from her first movie, “Taya”?
“Naku, sobrang iba ito sa ‘Taya’ and ‘Mahjong Nights’. Si Eva kasi rito, naghahanap ng sexual awakening at naging all out si Eva sa pagpapakita ng kakayahan niya sa kama.
"Hindi lang sa lalaki, kundi pati sa babae at sa lahat na.”
Does she still get nervous doing sex scenes?
“Yes po, up until now, may kaba pa rin ako. Nahihiya pa rin ako. Kahit ready na ako sa set at sa eksena, nandun pa rin ang kaba kung kaya ko bang gawin ang gustong ipakita ni direk Jeffrey Hidalgo.
"But ang saya ng feeling ko kapag sinabi niya: good job, Angeli.”
She’s thankful that Jeffrey is a very understanding director.
“Si direk kasi, very approachable kaya di ka mahihiyang magtanong para mae-explain niyang mabuti ang lahat ng dapat mong gawin sa eksena.
"Very encouraging siya, very patient kasi alam niyang mga baguhan kami. We can feel his respect for us.”
It helps that she also gets along so well with all her co-stars.
“Masaya lahat ng mga katrabaho ko rito, pati si direk. Lalo sina Sab Aggabao at Marco Gomez na naka-three some ko rito, saka sina Ivan Padilla, Quinn Carillo at Angelica Cervantes.
"Very comfortable ako sa kanilang lahat, kaya naging madali ang trabaho. Day one pa lang, naging friends na kaming lahat ng co-stars ko. Naging close kami during the lock in shoot.”
She says they treated each other like one big family during the entire shoot.
“Parang pamilya kami, kaya nga pagdating sa bedscenes, madali na for us all to relate with each other.
"Nagtatawanan pa kami, nagkukuwentuhan, nag-aabutan ng tuwalya, ng mga saplot to cover us after the take, kaya when the shooting ended we all felt sad na maghihiwalay na kami.
"So I just hope to get the chance to work with them all again in future films projects.”
So why should viewers watch “Eva” compared to her past movies?
“Masasabi kong mas all out itong ‘Eva’ kaysa sa ‘Mahjong Nights’ at sa ‘Taya’. Kasi, lahat ng klase ng sex scenes, masasaksihan nyo rito.
"Smorgasbord siya at kapag na-meet nyo na si Eva, you’ll never forget her.”
