Word from Viva is that Sarah Geronimo got a bonus of one million. For a movie which grossed 180 million, that is chicken feed.
For the two films, she was reportedly paid only half a million.
Here is the story.
Sa pamamagitan ng isang official statement, pinabulaanan ni Vic del Rosario (CEO, Viva Group of Companies) ang TV report na P200,000 lamang ang talent fee na natanggap ni Sarah Geronimo para sa A Very Special Love at P300,000 para sa You Changed My Life. Ang dalawang pelikula ay co-production ng Viva Films at Star Cinema, kung saan nakapareha ng Pop Princess si John Lloyd Cruz.
Ito ang statement na nakuha ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) mula sa kampo ni Boss Vic:
"Viva bossman Vic del Rosario was quick to react to a TV report that Sarah Geronimo got only P200,000 each from her blockbuster movies A Very Special Love and P300,000 for You Changed My Life.
"Boss Vic, who is Sarah's manager, explained that the P200,000 and P300,000 was the only approved amount by Star Cinema, which co-produced the two monster grossers with Viva Entertainment. 'Viva took care of paying the rest of Sarah's talent fee that Viva thought due her,' Boss Vic said.
"For the record, Boss Vic said Sarah's fee is the same as that of John Lloyd Cruz, her leading man in the two movies.
"The head honcho of Viva just can't help but get riled up over insinuations that Sarah was being paid a paltry sum despite the huge success of her movies.
"A Very Special Love grossed like P180-something million, making it
the biggest box-office hit last year. You Changed My Life fared even better, raking in at least P200 million during its three-week run.
"Sarah is on a concert tour in the US, and won't be back before until April."
Napag-alaman ng PEP na bukod sa talent fees sa dalawang blockbuster movies, tumanggap si Sarah ng isang milyong pisong bonus dahil sa success ng pelikula nila ni John Lloyd. Reportedly, naghati ang Viva Films at ang Star Cinema sa P1 M bonus na ibinigay kay Sarah.
