It took a very intelligent movie scribe para mabuking na halatang pam-promo slant lang yung ek ng GMA 7 na kesyo ang kanilang pelikulang The Road ang kauna-unahng movie na kinilala ng Hollywood.
Wala nga ksing humpay yung slant ng The Road na kesyo ganyan at ganito nga. Kumbaga, ayon sa reporter na nag-post sa Facebook, inuulol tayo ng naturang slant.
Narito ang status na post ni Ed de Leon sa FB tungkol sa di umano’y istupidong promo slant: There seems to be a little confusion here.
It is not true that the film made by GMA will be the first to be shown in the American commercial theater circuits.
The first Filipino film to penetrate the American commercial theater circuit was Manuel Conde’s Genchis Khan in 1953. It was distributed in the US by United Artist.
Originally in tagalog, it was dubbed with a narration by James Agee. The film was also shown in Paris in 1954, and was in the main competition category in the 1952 Venice Film Festival.
The first Filipino actor to ever be in an American film as the lead star was Fernando Poe Jr., in the film Walls of Hell with Jack Mahoney in 1964, and then in The Ravagers with John Saxon in 1965.
Just for your info, and please don’t be fooled.
O di ba?
And take note, dami ng reaction tungkol dito, everyone thinking na dapat itigil na ng GMA 7 ang pang-uulol sa taumbayan.
Christian Baustita pleads to ABS-CBN…
“LET ME GO!”
Halatang may kinikimkim na bitterness against ABS-CBN si Christian Bautista..
Isa kasi sa naging topic nung launching ng latest album niya yung paglipat niya sa TV5.
In-interview siya ni Zoren Legaspi for Paparazzi kaya lalong lumakas ang hinalang baka totoo ang tsismis.
Aminado siyang may offer ang TV5 pero wala pang nakalatag na detalye dahil may kontrata pa siya sa ABS-CBN hanggang Agosto.
“Siyempre, I’m a law-abiding citizen, so, siyempre, I will fulfill my obligations.”
Although may offer ang Kapatid network, ayaw daw niyang magkaroon ng negotiations hangga’t hindi natatapos ang kanyang kontrata.
“Gusto ko lahat, maayos. Ayoko ng kaaway. I’m just looking after our future.”
Asked kung ano ang mga dahilan kung bakit niya maiisip na mag-switch ng network, isa-isa rin itong inilatag ni Christian.
“Eto ha, hindi ko maipagpapalit ang mga binigay ng ABS-CBN for the first years of my life – Star in a Million, ASAP, I still love ASAP up to now, TFC for the first three years, Kampanerang Kuba.
Here’s my point, I love ABS-CBN, I will do my best to fulfill my obligations. At the end of the day, I’m also an artist na kailangang continue na mag-grow, continue na maghanap ng mga avenue para iprisinta ang aking sarili.
Ang last show po na nagawa ko sa ABS-CBN na teleserye is Kampanerang Kuba. Ilang years na ’yun? Okay, singer ako, sa singing muna tayo. Sa singing po, I have ASAP, which I love. Pero marami na rin kami sa ASAP.
We have 2-3 numbers every Sunday. In one week, as a singer alone, you are seen in the Philippines and in the rest of the world through TFC for two numbers every week.
I have to, as a singer, na ipakilala again ang sarili ko to the new audiences po ng ABS-CBN or TV5 or ng GMA. Sa tingin ko po, two numbers a week, mahihirapan po tayo riyan.
“And then, of course, you have my friends, the actors, who are seen daily with their teleserye and then, they are also in ASAP. As a singer, I am glad na mayroon nang Sarah G. Live, meron nang Gandang Gabi Vice, meron na kaming iba pang avenue, maganda.
Pero of course, guest lang kami ru’n, magge-guest lang kami ru’n, that is not ours. As a singer, I want to promote my album, I need to show this album as much as I can.
Kung puwede lang na walang network war, my goodness, sana wala. Para sana, at least, kahit singer lang, sana puwede akong mag-Bulaga, sana puwede ako dito, doon, kasi nga, ito lang ang ginagawa ko.
Ayoko namang matigil ito, wala po akong gustong masaktan. Pero ’pag wala po akong ginawa, matatabunan po ako ng lahat.
Kami pong mga singer lang na hindi masyadong nag-a-acting, kaya ngayon, nag-a-acting na kami kasi kailangan naming makilala ang aming music.
So, thank God, may Kitchen Musical, wala pong nangyayari pero dumating ang Kitchen Musical, ayun, nabigyan ako ng ingay ulit sa Asia, thanks. Tapos may album po kami.
“Tapos, again, babalik po kami sa table ng ABS-CBN (and asked), ‘mayroon po ba kayong show para po ma-present ko pa ’yung sarili ko?’ Sa ngayon po, wala.
So, kaya po kami nagne-negotiate, baka po mayroong ibigay. And here’s TV5 (asking us), ‘what do you want?’
Ano po ang iisipin namin? Nasabi ko na po ito dati, I’m just looking for ways to showcase my music,” mahabang paliwanag ni Christian.
He stressed na mahal niya ang ABS-CBN.
“I love ABS-CBN. But please love me, too. We started well, so, ’yun lang, let’s end well. Pero kung wala naman po, kasi marami nang ano, then let me go.
So, ayun lang parang… I’m emotional about this, it’s very hard,” pahayag ni Christian.
