Sanya Lopez talked about the challenged she faced for her new movie
Kapuso actress Sanya Lopez admitted that it was a challenge for her to learn Japanese for the movie Midnight Girls.
Sanya has come a long ways since she was discovered by the late German Moreno. Through her older brother, actor Jak Roberto, Sanya was introduced to the entertainment industry.
From doing supporting roles, Sanya became one of the popular leading ladies of the Kapuso network. One of her most recent acting projects is the movie with Kapamilya stars Jodi Sta Maria, Jane Oineza, and Loisa Andalio.
Previously, Jodi shared her experience working with Sanya, the only Kapuso star in the main cast. The Kapamilya actress said that Sanya is not just “magaling” but also a good person.
In a recent interview, based on the article in ABS-CBN Entertainment, Sanya Lopez shared that learning Japanese was challenging.
Midnight Girls is about Pinay OFWs who work as bar hostesses. In the movie Sanya played the character of Paris, a charming but materialistic woman. She shared that the film’s beautiful story, and its honest and raw theme, made her say yes to this project.
This is something new to her and she was excited to work with the other cast members. She also shared that Nihongo was a big challenge.
“Sana ay nagustuhan ninyo. So lahat ng yun, nakaka-challenge tapos Nihongo pa (yung dialogue),” the Kapuso actress shared. She also shared that while speaking Japanese, she had to convey certain emotions.
“Siyempre challenge yun para sa akin na maramdaman ko mismo yung sinasabi ko at maramdaman rin nung ka-eksena ko yung sinasabi ko at siyempre nung mga manunuod din. Pero pinaka-nagustuhan ko talaga yung tungkol sa sakripisyo ng bawat isa, na lahat tayo may pinagdadaanan. Hindi natatago ng bawat ngiti natin yung mga pinagdaraanan natin sa buhay. So isa talaga yun sa mga nagustuhan ko sa story,” Sanya Lopez shared.
Their coach helped them in how they would pronounce Japanese words. This was one of the preparations they made for the movie.
