Creating the modern-day version of the 1954 comedy “Kurdapya” proved to be extremely challenging both for its writer-director, Easy Ferrer, and its main villain, Ryza Cenon. | marinelcruzINQ /PDI

Another challenge for Easy was to make the classic concept relatable to younger viewers. “I’ve seen the original version [with Gloria Romero playing the lead]. Its humor was appropriate at the time. Since our audience is from the woke generation, I had to revise things. We removed all the cat-calling and body shaming. The basic premise of the humor back then was the comparison between two girls, one ugly and one beautiful,” he began.

The director added: “One of the major considerations when I do comedy is that it should still be for the mass audience. I want it relatable. I want the audience to laugh more and think less, and I would always include visual comedy. In this case, the characters can teleport or change their looks at a snap of a finger. When the audience sees these things, they will be aware that a new flavor is being offered to them, and they’ll feel at home right away.

Meanwhile, Ryza said she doesn’t like her character, even a bit. “Margie is the girlfriend of Daphne’s father. She looks sweet, but she’s really bad. The audience should watch out for the showdown between her and Daphne,” Ryza said. “Masyado siyang epal. She wants to always be the center of attention. I’m not like her at all. I prefer to be quiet, to be simple. Besides, she gives me a hard time because I often have no clue how to portray her and come across as funny.

She continued: “I actually enjoy being a kontrabida because it allows me to experiment. A villain is able to show different emotions. She can also look pitiful if she wants to. The kontrabida can very well steal the spotlight from the bida. But it’s difficult for me to shift from heavy-drama acting to comedy. Not only do my lines sometimes come out too serious, I also get too serious when I need to slap someone, right Direk?”Inspired by Pablo S.
