KC Concepcion was Richard Gutierrez’s high school crush

May 24, 2008

KC CONCEPCION have signed up last Thursday with GMA Films for the Valentine movie she’s doing with Richard Gutierrez. This was held at the GMA Network office and this time, it’s Richard’s turn to escort KC around after she guided him in their pictorial at the ABS camp last Tuesday.

Their movie is entitled “When I Met You” (based on an APO song) and will be written and directed by Joey Reyes to be partly filmed in Paris and scheduled to open on February 11. They will start shooting in September after the first Richard-KC movie under the Star Cinema banner is shown in August. KC calls her leading man Chard while Richard calls her Kayce. It’s apparent that they’re very much comfortable in each other’s company.

At the ABS pictorial, Richard and KC were interviewed by Chard’s Ate Ruffa for “The Buzz.” After the contract signing at GMA, they were interviewed by Chard’s twin brother, Raymond, for “Showbiz Central.” The observation of those who were present in both interviews is that Raymond was more successful in bringing out more juicy bits of information, including the details of the recent birthday party of KC held on a private beach where Chard was a guest.

He was even observant enough that both Chard and KC are wearing the color blue. He inquired if they had prior agreement as to what color they will wear for that day. He also revealed that the two first met in a high school prom years ago and that Chard has had a crush on KC even then, making his brother blush.

Will KC also be doing “Captain Barbell Meets Darna” on TV with GMA-7? “It’s up to my managers,” says KC. “Darna is a big part of Pinoy pop culture and who wouldn’t want to be a part of Pinoy pop culture, di ba? But I guess it also depends on Richard as he’ll be Captain Barbell.”

“Of course, it’ll be a dream come true for me,” Richard says. “But as of now, we’re just thankful that GMA agreed to lend me to ABS and ABS is now lending KC to GMA kaya natuloy ang pagtatambal namin. We’re happy to be part of the process in making the two top networks together.”

But how come we have a feeling that their Star Cinema movie will not be completed in time for an August release? It’s almost June and they only have two months to finish it. Its director, Joyce Bernal, is busy with “Dyesebel” and she says she will have to shoot part of the yet untitled flick for 10 days in Santorini and Mykonos, Greece. Richard, in turn, is busy with his new show, “Codename: Asero.” Realistically speaking, they will be facing a lot of odds to meet their August deadline.
