00:00We're still full of excitement, of course, because on December 25,
00:04the official MMFF entry of GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs, Green Bones, will be showing in cinemas nationwide.
00:14That is right. The trailer has been released already, Ms. Laine.
00:18It was written by National Artist Ricky Lee and MMFF 2023 Best Screenplay winner, Ange Atienza.
00:24And directed, of course, by Zik Dulay.
00:26Of course, it was directed by Kapuso Drama King, Dennis Trillo,
00:30and Kapuso Action Drama Prince, Ruru Madrid.
00:33We are joined live-the-live this morning.
00:36Let's welcome back Dennis and Ruru. Good morning!
00:40Good morning!
00:41Kapuso!
00:42Good morning!
00:43They should be joining us here, right?
00:45Please join us.
00:46Please join us here.
00:47Let's go here.
00:49Okay.
00:50Our very handsome men.
00:52We're already on TikTok.
00:54We're already on TikTok.
00:55We're already on TikTok.
00:56But look, his pants are still white.
00:58Yes.
00:59I raised my hand.
01:00Right?
01:01For our Kapusos who still don't know where Green Bones really is,
01:06please tell us where the story of this movie will take us.
01:11So basically, Green Bones, as we said earlier,
01:15it has a story.
01:16Yes.
01:17It's about a man who found green seeds in his hair.
01:22It means that he became a good person.
01:24So that's where the story of this movie will take us.
01:32There are a lot of realizations and a lot to learn from this movie.
01:36Okay.
01:37Why do people think like that?
01:38What are their characters?
01:39Are you the prisoner?
01:40Are you the guard?
01:41What is this?
01:42I'm a notorious criminal who was imprisoned
01:47in a penal colony.
01:51It's located on an island.
01:53It's not a dark prison.
01:55Direk Zig wants to create a location that's not a dark prison
02:02but an open space.
02:04Like an open air.
02:05People will be able to breathe.
02:06Yes.
02:07But we also talked about this earlier, Dennis,
02:09that you have a new production company.
02:10And this Green Bones is the first co-produced film.
02:15You mentioned earlier that you're grateful to GMA Pictures
02:18because you were able to work together, right?
02:20Yes, of course.
02:21So you must be so proud.
02:22I'm so proud because we believe in this project.
02:26We only read the script and we were already affected.
02:31We were so lucky because we were able to work together
02:36to produce this movie,
02:38especially during a time when a lot of people are watching it.
02:41Yes, on December 25, the whole family is watching it.
02:44And like I said earlier, I asked you, PG?
02:47Yes, PG.
02:48Yes, rated PG.
02:49This is really for the family.
02:51Everyone can watch it.
02:53This Green Bones story is about hope.
02:57You can see it even in the darkest places.
03:01Well, congratulations, first of all, Sir Dennis,
03:03for your collaboration with your first ever co-produced movie
03:07together with GMA Pictures.
03:09Sir Dennis, you played a lot of different roles.
03:12But in Green Bones, what's different about your character?
03:16Well, I played Tom Zamora.
03:20If you watch the trailer,
03:22you'll notice that he doesn't have a dialogue.
03:26And in this role, I had to learn sign language,
03:31or the FSL that's used here.
03:33Because there's a point in my character's story
03:36where he really chose not to speak about what's happening in life.
03:41Oh, wow. That's very inspiring.
03:43It must be hard.
03:44Yes.
03:45For Ruru, this is your first MMFF project,
03:48like you mentioned earlier.
03:49Yes, ma'am.
03:50And we heard that you prepared differently for this character.
03:53You used perfume.
03:56Yes, very specific perfume.
03:57Why perfume?
03:58What do you know about your character?
04:01I think a big factor is what we call sense memory.
04:07Okay.
04:08Usually, it's like a process
04:10so that you can feel every scene that you're doing.
04:14So, based on my characterization,
04:18on how I built my character in this movie,
04:21it helped me in a way
04:23because every time I smell myself,
04:26I feel fresh.
04:28It's like I used a baby cologne here.
04:30I can get into the character very quickly.
04:33So, I don't have to make it difficult for myself
04:37like, okay, this is how I'm going to do this process.
04:39No.
04:40Once I smell him, I use him,
04:42I'm already there.
04:43This is new, right?
04:44It's very interesting.
04:45Right.
04:46Ruru's process is different to get into his character.
04:49It's a process with my acting coach, Mr. Jake Ruiz.
04:54He really helped me
04:56because, as I said earlier,
04:58I'm used to making TV series.
05:00Cinema is different.
05:02Films are different.
05:03I said that on TV,
05:05when the director said,
05:06you're going to cry here,
05:07in the movie, you have to tell a story
05:09without speaking.
05:10Why are you going to cry?
05:12Why are you going there?
05:13And all your body parts have to move.
05:17Sometimes, your eyebrows move.
05:18You know that someone is passing by, right?
05:20Yes.
05:21Yes.
05:22It's a close-up.
05:23So, you can't use your breath outside
05:25because you might get into your character again.
05:28The association with the smell is different.
05:30Yes.
05:32What was your biggest challenge in making this movie?
05:37What was the biggest challenge?
05:38How long did you make this movie?
05:40I'm curious.
05:4118 days.
05:4218 days.
05:43More than 2 weeks.
05:44Wow.
05:45That's fast.
05:48What was the challenge?
05:49For me, the challenge is the whole process of making it.
05:53Like I said earlier,
05:55I haven't made a movie for a long time.
05:58So, months prior to this project,
06:02I had a workshop almost every day.
06:05During that time, I was still doing Black Rider.
06:09But my focus was watching Wong Kar Wai movies
06:13to distinguish what's the difference
06:15between TV and movies.
06:17I guess the whole process,
06:18that journey,
06:19that was very challenging for me.
06:21How about you, Dennis?
06:22Because you're also doing Pulang Araw.
06:23We know that it's a 108-episode movie.
06:25That's a long time.
06:26Yes.
06:27Maybe that's the hardest part,
06:28the schedule.
06:29Because from Pulang Araw,
06:30I go straight to the set of Green Goose.
06:32But aside from that,
06:34because our co-stars,
06:36the award-winning team that brought us Firefly last year,
06:39It helped.
06:40It helped because their work is very light.
06:43They adjust to the schedule.
06:45And they're very professional,
06:47especially in leading Direk Zig.
06:49Yes.
06:51Kuya JC,
06:52we really take care of them.
06:54I can't imagine your...
06:56Shifting the character.
06:57Shifting.
06:58Yuta,
06:59as a bad person,
07:00who always speaks in Japanese,
07:02suddenly shifts to not speaking.
07:04It must be quite the turn.
07:06Actually, I thought that Green Goose
07:08would be my break from Pulang Araw.
07:10But it's not because...
07:11It's quite a level up.
07:12It also requires a lot of emotion
07:14even though there's not much dialogue.
07:16And the physical requirements.
07:17And you're also doing prosthetics.
07:19More reasons for us to watch the film.
07:21Yes.
07:22A lot of reasons to watch the film.
07:23Speaking of challenge,
07:25there's also a challenge for both of you.
07:28The trend right now is,
07:30Suspect! Suspect!
07:31That's why we'll do that this morning.
07:33All you have to do is run.
07:35If you're guilty in a scenario,
07:36we'll tell you.
07:37So please, guys,
07:38please go to the...
07:40Go back to your questions.
07:42And what about the pictures?
07:44What will Dennis run to?
07:46He'll run to our questions.
07:48Who will be the suspect?
07:50From one end to another.
07:52Or just jog in place.
07:54Just jog in place.
07:56Okay.
07:57So, if you're ready,
07:58let's start.
08:00Suspect! Suspect!
08:01I can't talk to the co-star on set.
08:05Is there one?
08:06You're guilty.
08:07They're both guilty.
08:09I'm concentrating because they're both...
08:12I think that's it.
08:13Because you're really concentrating.
08:15But we did it on purpose
08:17to build that kind of dynamic
08:19for the characters.
08:20You two have tension.
08:22Yes.
08:23That's it.
08:24Here.
08:25Suspect! Suspect!
08:26He lost weight for the movie.
08:31That's not it.
08:32Did you need it?
08:34Yes, I needed it.
08:35Because I'm a prisoner here.
08:37So I shouldn't look chubby.
08:39I should look hungry.
08:41Okay.
08:42What do you mean hungry?
08:44Third.
08:45Okay.
08:46Suspect! Suspect!
08:47He's afraid of his partner.
08:48I think I know what it is.
08:49What kind of partner is that?
08:52Romantic partner.
08:54I'm the same.
08:58That's a romantic partner.
08:59They said that.
09:00Happy wife.
09:01Happy life.
09:02Is that true, Dennis?
09:03That's true.
09:05Yes.
09:06Thank you for agreeing, Dennis.
09:08We're not done with our challenge for you both,
09:10Dennis and Ruru.
09:11We're going to test your acting skills
09:13here at UH Emote Control.
09:15So this is what we're talking about.
09:17All parts of your body move when you act.
09:20So this is just your eyes.
09:22This is easy for them.
09:24Because it's just their faces that we can see.
09:26Focus.
09:27In your posters, that's how it should be.
09:30That's right.
09:31We're going to give you some scenes
09:33and you need to show us what emotion is right for you.
09:36But the twist is,
09:37your faces will split like your posters.
09:40How do you do that?
09:41They can't move.
09:42They need to stay steady.
09:44Okay, steady.
09:45You need to be half and half.
09:47So the right side of Dennis' face
09:49and the left side of Ruru.
09:51That's right, right?
09:52Yes, that is correct.
09:53Okay.
09:54So your emotions should be coordinated.
09:56Half and half, guys.
09:57They can stick to the camera.
09:58Dennis, where are you looking?
10:00Here I am.
10:01There.
10:02Ruru is right and Dennis is right.
10:04That's right.
10:05Okay, let's go.
10:06But do they need to be tied up?
10:08No, it's okay.
10:09Let's do this.
10:10Emote control.
10:11Let's show it.
10:13Your reaction.
10:15Our first scenario.
10:16What is your reaction when the director says
10:18that the anger is 100% intense?
10:21Action.
10:22Eyes.
10:23Just the eyes.
10:25The eyes are getting bigger.
10:26Hey, it's the same.
10:27It's the same.
10:28It's the same.
10:29It's the same.
10:30The eyes and nose are getting bigger.
10:32Okay, next, next, next.
10:33That's right.
10:34Okay, next, next.
10:35Here.
10:36What is the emotion
10:37when you finish watching Green Bones?
10:43One is sad,
10:44and the other one is emotional.
10:46Why is Dennis' eye on the side?
10:48That's too much.
10:50Okay, here.
10:51You're going to cry, guys.
10:53You're going to cry in this experience.
10:55There.
10:56Thank you so much.
