Ogie Diaz Reacts to Statement of Jeffrey Oh on the Audition of Liza Soberano on Spiderman
Talent manager Ogie Diaz reacts to the statement of Jeffrey Oh claiming that he refused an offer for Liza Soberano to audition in Spiderman.
Liza’s former talent manager has remarked about the matter of their claimed refusal on the audition for the character of Mary Jane in the Marvel film “Spiderman: Homecoming”. It should be noted that Jeffrey Oh’s statement trended during the recent 2nd Philippine Creative Industries Summit.
Jeffrey is the CEO of Careless Music, and he is now managing Liza’s career. He claimed that Marvel approached Liza about auditioning for the role of Mary Jane, but her former management, Ogie Diaz and Star Magic refused.
As a result, Liza’s former talent manager quickly clarified the Careless Music CEO’s statement, stating that no invitation had previously reached them. Ogie further stated that Liza Soberano stated that there was no invitation from Marvel.
“Ito ay may kinalaman po doon sa sinabi ni Mr. Jeffrey Oh, ang CEO ng Careless management ni Liza Soberano tungkol doon sa nanghihinayang sila kung bakit sana ay si Liza Soberano ang gumanap na Mary Jane, leading lady ni Spiderman noong mga 2016/2017,” Ogie began.
“Si Liza Soberano na rin po ang nagsabi n’yan na walang imbitasyon na galing sa Marvel at ‘yung tweet na ‘yun ay galing sa isang fan na nagpakalat na naniniwala na posibleng makapasok si Liza bilang isa sa mga extra or may mga roles doon sa Spiderman kung siya ay sakaling mag-o-audition,” he added.
Ogie stated that he did not know where Jeffrey Oh was coming from in his remark, which is why he is requesting a “receipt” or documentation to back up his claim. He stated that he wanted to obtain evidence so that they could apologize to the girl for their error, if any.
“Mr. Jeffrey, you might want to release the ‘receipt’ or proof that Liza received an invitation from Marvel to audition for the role of Mary Jane. Dahil ako bilang former manager ni Liza, at ang Star Magic, at ng ABS-CBN, as far as we know, walang imbitasyon mula sa Marvel. At iyan ay sinigundahan ni Liza kaya hindi ko alam kung saan nanggagaling si Mr. Jeffrey,”said Ogie.
“Kaya nga hinihingan ko ng resibo kaso kapag may resibo, makapag-sorry kami kay Liza. Sino ba naman ang ayaw? Lead [role] ‘yun at Hollywood movie ‘yun na pangarap ni Liza pero wala nga pong imbistasyon. Alangan namang mag-gate crash ka sa audition, wala namang ganon. Bakit naman hindi namin i-a-allow ‘yung bata, ‘di ba?” said Ogie.
According to him, Liza has been working on numerous projects, which is understandable given her prominence in the industry. Liza and her new management must have been conversing, he argued, or else the Careless CEO would have inquired what the statement was because it led the girl to be bashed even more.
“Popular na si Liza. Alangan namang nakatanghod lang yan sa bahay at naghihintay lang siya kung mayroon siyang audition mula sa Hollywood,” said Ogie proudly.
“Pinagmumukhang ilusyunada si Liza. Diyos ko naman, hindi naman starlet si Liza. Sikat pa rin naman si Liza. Bakit kailangang dumaan sa ganitong ka-cheap-an si Liza,” he added.
Ogie is also unsure if this is part of the actress’s management strategy to generate attention. If this was their plan, they were a huge success. When Jeffrey Oh questioned their Liza management, he stated that it would have been more embarrassing if nothing had happened to the actress’s career.
“Tsaka, Diyos ko naman, Sir Jeffrey, kinukwestiyon mo ‘yung 10 years naming pagma-manage kay Liza. Mas nakakahiya naman siguro kung sa loob ng 10 years na ‘yan, e wala namang nangyari kay Liza [at] di siya sumikat [o] hindi siya nakilala, hindi siya naging successful,” Ogie stressed.
“Afterall, hindi n’yo rin naman kukunin si Liza kung hindi rin naman siya sikat. Kung nanatili siyang starlet sa loob ng isang taon. You cannot erase the fact that ABS-CBN, Star Magic, and Ogie Diaz were part of Liza Soberano’s success [and] popularity [that] you are enjoying. I know you can take good care of her as much as we did,” the talent manager noted in his vlog.
