Vice Ganda prefers blockbusters over acting awards
After not making it to last year’s MMFF, Vice Ganda will return to the big screen on Christmas Day with his entry, “The Revenger Squad,” with co-stars Daniel Padilla and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.
Asked if he prefers doing a blockbuster movie or receiving an acting award, the “It’s Showtime” host chose having a blockbuster because he does not consider himself a good actor.
“Hindi naman ako magaling umarte eh. Nakakatawa lang siguro ako. Ayokong i-claim na ang galing kong actor. Mas gusto kong sabihin ng mga tao na ‘nakakatawa ang pelikula mo.’Ayoko ding mag-pretend na ako ay magaling at mahusay na actor. Ang gusto ko lang ay magpasaya at 'pag pinapanood nila 'yung patawa ko ay tumatawa sila. Nandoon sa akin ang achievement,” said Vice.
The “Gandang Gabi Vice” host added he will not hesitate to join the MMFF yearly. “Iba-iba kasi ang taste ng tao so marahil iba ang taste nila last year, iba yung taste nila ngayon. So ngayon sa taste ng bagong jury pasado yung material namin kaya pumasok kami. Hindi naman din nila sinabi kung bakit kami pumasa.”
Since Vice’s film is up against other predicted blockbusters like “Panday” and “Meant To Beh,” he said his film’s new dynamics will make it more competitive.
“Ang laban namin, bago ang dynamics namin. Pia, Daniel, Vice. Sobrang bago. Sa mga nakalipas na panahon, meron na kaming naitanim sa mga manonood na magagandang experience.”
“Ngayon pa lang kine-claim na namin na success ito hindi lang para sa amin pero pati na rin sa mga manonood na hindi sila malulugi pag pinanood nila yung pelikula namin,” he assured.
For “The Revenger Squad,” Vice said he made sure that they did not recycle jokes from his past movies.
“I always make sure na yung comedy ko, nasasabayan kung ano ang uso, ano ang trip ng tao, so every year iba-iba, kung ano yung relevant. Ngayon may kinalaman ito sa mga kaganapan ngayon. Yung punch line namin current.”
