Sempena #GolGincu2 eve hari ni, meh kita story mory the morning glory sikit pasal watak-watak dalam reboot Gol & Gincu Vol. 2 ni.

Bila saya berjumpa dengan Rafidah (cerita asal) saya tanya pada dia, "What is the essence of this story?" Katanya, "Clash of two very different personalities. Bukan sorang betul, sorang salah. Dua² betul, cuma cara handle situation berbeza."

Saya terus suka. Saya ni pulak jenis character-driven bila menulis cerita.

Maka lahirlah dua watak utama - Zak dan Yaya. Kalau ikut treatment awal (sebelum wujud cerita asal dari Rafidah) cuma ada Yaya sebagai main protagonist.

But I'm happy Zak came into the picture because--

Zak has a few traits of my younger self. Dan personaliti macam Zak ni memang mudah prejudis terhadap personaliti macam Yaya.

So when writing Zak, in making her a better person, I had to overcome my own prejudice as well. So thank you for that, Zak 💞 #GolGincu2

Yaya is this bubbly, camera-ready girl. Sekali imbas, Yaya ni macam have it easy - apa nak, semua dapat.

But Yaya will make you understand that nothing comes easy. Everyone struggles in their own way❣️But in #GolGincu2 will Yaya overcome her own prejudice?

Kita cerita sikit pasal gadis² rumah 3R. Ada 3 budak asrama - Hanis, Gangster dan Cinonet.

Cinonet ni seperti namanya saya bayangkan kecik orangnya. Dia perlu lincah sebab dia ada skill. Skill apa? Haaa kena tengok la #GolGincu2 😉

I can't believe how similar our Cinonet is to the Cinonet in my mind. Tabik spring kepada pengarah Umie Omar dan casting extraordinaire @farahrani!

Gangster is this attractive girl yang cuba sorokkan vulnerability dia dengan jadi ganas. Life has been hard on her; being pretty is not her priority.

Dia sangat protective terhadap orang yang dia sayang. Dalam #GolGincu2 Gangster la paling kerap buat saya nangis, huhu~

Haaa~ Hanis! Actually, Hanis is modelled after my own good friend @hanis_ali 😊 (Dia pun baru tau melalui tweet ni - sebelum ni saya tak bagitau kih kih kih~)

Caring, motherly, lembut tapi tegas. PR skills tip top, mudah buat kawan. Dan comel! Sangat comel!

The real Hanis 👇

Tapi dilema watak Hanis dalam #GolGincu2 ni lain la daripada Hanis dalam kehidupan sebenar, hehe. Nak tahu apa dilemanya, kena tengok #GolGincu2 😉

Proses penulisan skrip untuk #GolGincu2 ni bagi saya agak mudah - saya menulis terus dari hati, babak² yang saya nak tulis pun sangat fun. Because of the two protagonists (who antagonize each other nearly all the time) I get to flex my banter-writing muscles 💪

Cuma saya jadi jem sikit untuk draf kedua dan seterusnya sebab wataknya banyak - it's an ensemble and we wanna give each character their due attention.

Tapi di sinilah menunjukkan yang women empowerment is REAL! Sebab Umie, Lina, Rafidah semua bagi input. Saling memperkasa! 💪

Women empowerment isn't just something we shout about in the movie - the making of #GolGincu2 itself proved that we practice what we preach.

Diana Danielle+Ummi Nazeera were given the main roles because they are great actors with awesome chemistry, on top of being strong women.
