Dingdong Dantes said na wala siyang itulak-kabigin, kung performances ang pag-u-usapan, between, Angelica Panganiban at Angel Locsin, bilang kanyang mga leading ladies sa Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry, One More Try.
The film, produced by Star Cinema and directed by Ruel Bayani, also features Zanjoe Marudo.
Both Angelica and Angel, Dingdong related, apparently put all their efforts to make their performances as credible as possible. In the same way that he and Zanjoe also did.
“Ang feeling ba naming apat, we should all do our best na maging magaling kami,” pagtatapat ni Dingdong.
“Actually, ang performances ng bawat isa sa amin proved a challenge for all of us.”
In one More Try, Angelica plays his wife na ‘di siya mabigyan ng anak. Angel naman is the girl with whom he has had a one night stand while on a business trip in Baguio City.
Nagbunga ang kanilang pagtatalik ni Angel who, in fairness, sana kay Angel ay wala nang balak pang makipag-ugnayang muli kay Dingdong, kundi lang dinapuan ng karamdaman ang anak na nangangailangan ng malaking halaga, para maipagamot.
Zanjoe, her boyfriend, who was willing to take her and her son for what they are, could not help financially either.
Ang lalo pang nagpa-complicate ng sitwasyon, ng problema lalo na, ay nang matuklasan nilang may higit pang kailangan para mai-save ang buhay ng bata. At ito’y ang muli nilang pagtatalik.
“Isang sitwasyon itong mahirap ‘di lang para sa lalaking involved, kundi sa kanyang asawa rin. Lalo na kay Angel din at kay Zanjoe.
“Well, how this problem was resolved in the movie, dapat ngang mapanood mo, n’yo, ang One More Try,” natatawang sabi ni Dngdong.
The year about to pass, Dingdong admits, proved a fulfilling one for him and girlfriend, Marian Rivera. Especially, career wise. They have been both busy.
In his case, for example, he finished not just a series on GMA 7, but a movie, Tiktik, the Aswang Chronicle, which he co-produced with Reality Entertainment.
Sa kasalukuyan ay umeere ang serye niyang Pahiram ng Sandali.
Still a contact star ng GMA 7 at GMA Films, nagpapasalamat daw si Dingdong at pinayagan siya ng GMA Films na gawin ng One More Try for Star Cinema.
GMA Films has two MMFF entries, Sosy Problems at Si Agimat si Enteng at si Ako, which they are co-producing with Imus Productions, M-Zet, ATV Entertainment, and OctoArts Films.
Mother sobrang bilib kay Direk Chito
As far as Mother Lily is concerned, mapabilang lang daw sa top five grosser ang kanyang MMFF entry, Shake, Rattle and Roll 14 : The Invasion, magiging very happy na siya.
Sa totoo lang daw, hangang-hanga siya sa movie, when she previewed it. For her daw, talagang pinakamahusay si Direk Chito Rono, when directing a horror-suspense flick.
Direk Chito directed all three episodes in SSR IV. May tatlo rin itong kanya-kanyang title. At may pangunahing artista bawat episode.
The first episode is titled Pamana, starring Janice de Belen, Quezon City mayor Herbert Bautista at Arlene Muhlach.
Sina Vhong Navarro at Lovi Poe naman ang tampok sa pangalawang episode, Unwanted. Ang third, The Lost Command, stars Dennis Trillo, Paulo Avelino, Martin Escudero at Rommel Padilla.
