Transcript

00:00Until you gave me a new role in Incognito, I never really thought about, I want to be an actor.

00:07The fight scene of Kenji and Andres, played by Daniel Padilla, it looked realistic.

00:14Do you know why it looks realistic?

00:16Why?

00:17Because it was real.

00:30Hello, Pepsters! Welcome to Pep Spotlight. I am your host, Bernie.

00:38And I'm Pink. Makakasama natin ngayon ang isa sa mga rising stars ng showbiz.

00:44At syempre, actually Bernie, ito, nakilala rin siya dahil sa kanyang mga flawless stunts na dinirect sa Incognito.

00:54Correct. And apart from that, he is also a businessman and an athlete.

00:59So, let's get to know more about this man of many talents. Please welcome, Lance Pimentel.

01:07Hello! Hi, Pepsters! Thanks for having me.

01:11Yes, welcome to Pep Spotlight, Lance. It's good to have you here. First time niya sa atin na-interview.

01:19Yeah, thanks for having me. Beautiful office din bala.

01:23Yay! Thank you!

01:24Thank you, Lance.

01:24So, sino ba naman yung hindi makaka-notice sa'yo when those videos of you doing action scenes, talagang...

01:33Thank you, thank you.

01:34...na-curious yung netizens. So, it's nice na we'll get to know more about you.

01:39Salamat. Thank you. Thanks for having me here.

01:41Alright.

01:41So, first question. Kamusta yung experience because you are a stunt choreographer and action director,

01:50and then you acted in front of the camera? Kamusta yung experience na to?

01:56Well, the experience, it's not the easiest task kasi you have to choreograph, you have to memorize your lines,

02:06and then you have to teach the choreography to your co-actors also, and then collaborate with different people,

02:13like the director, like the art department, the AD. So, it was a lot of tasks, and it wasn't easy.

02:23And you worked with a powerhouse cast for Incognito, like you had Daniel Padilla, Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings,

02:33Ian Veneracion, Richard Gugueres. How was it working with them? Kamusta yung dynamics nyo noon behind the camera and on cam?

02:42So, we've established a really good relationship coming with the castle Incognito. We've been through a lot of challenges and experience as a group.

02:59So, we've been to Italy, Japan, the snow in Japan. So, went to Marawi and a long time in Baguio.

03:09So, yung mga joint and hardship and experience as a set, talaga created a really good bond within the afters.

03:20And also, hindi lang sa afters, mga ano rin, even in the staff of Incognito. So, even off cam, we would hang out.

03:32Like me and Tito Ian and DJ would ride motorcycles or nung Japan, actually, during our rest day, nag-snowboard kami, kami ni Anthony, ni DJ nung Tito Ian.

03:46Sana all.

03:49May I ask, how young are you, Lance?

03:52I'm 26 years old.

03:54So, oh my gosh, only 26 years old, Bernie.

03:56And sobrang mga matatagal lang artista yung mga katrabaho mo and you had to direct them dun sa mga stunts.

04:04Kumusta yung dynamics na yun? I mean, was it easy for you as a young actor at the same time director?

04:12I would say it's easy because my co-actors, they're very professional and they have trust in me naman.

04:28I've worked with them for quite a long time. Like, marami kaming pinagsamahan.

04:33I've also trained them before kami mag-shoot. So, ayun, we have a mutual trust in each other to do this project really, really well.

04:44And we have the same vision in changing the landscape of Philippine action, not just yung what we would say is old school action scenes.

04:58So, together naman, we work with the same vision and they're very professional and we didn't really have that much problem.

05:12Sino yung pinakakomportable ka sa kanila na katrabaho?

05:19I would say si Tito Ian is the most I'm comfortable with because this is my third project with Tito I.

05:28So, my first project was with him already. I was called One Good Day in a Prime Video. Yeah.

05:37And then, yung Iron Heart. And then, ngayon, sa Incognito. And, um, and Off Cam also.

05:44He was actually the one who taught me how to ride a motorcycle.

05:48Kasi he loves motorcycles.

05:50Yeah, yes. And, um, I'm really good friends with his kids too. Si Draco and Duccio. Yeah, so.

05:58Speaking of action scenes, Lance, kasi ikaw yung napansin because of your impressive action stunts sa Incognito, no?

06:08Ano yung naramdaman mo when you finally got noticed? Kasi it was not the first time that you did action scenes.

06:14I think you did also La Luna Sangre. Yes.

06:17And Bagani. Yes.

06:19But finally, you got noticed in this project. How did that make you feel?

06:23Actually, um, it's, it's quite overwhelming. I wasn't really expecting

06:28to have a big, uh, response from our audience.

06:32Um, I was just doing it because, uh, I was tasked to, like, um, go to Japan, ano?

06:39Since you're already going to Japan, might as well be this, um, character.

06:43And then I just did my best. And, uh, yung response nung ating viewers is, um, talagang very unexpected, I would say.

06:55And I'm very thankful for, for, uh, that.

06:58How long did you shoot that sequence?

07:00That sequence was good in Japan for Kenji.

07:04Correct.

07:04Maybe average of shooting a scene is, uh, three hours?

07:08Three hours? Yeah.

07:09It's quite fast.

07:11Uh, it's just like, uh, choreography.

07:15Like, action star.

07:17Okay, that's the same thing.

07:19Okay, that's the same thing.

07:20Yeah, the choreography, because here in the Philippines, we don't have the luxury of rehearsals.

07:25Okay.

07:26Everything is on the spot. So, you go to the set, and you see what's there, and then you choreograph there,

07:33and you teach the actors there, everything on the spot.

07:36So, even if they have the script beforehand?

07:39Yes, because we shoot 130 episodes.

07:44So, this is a daily grind.

07:47Like, we shoot fight scenes every day.

07:49So, you don't have time, talaga, to prepare.

07:52Okay.

07:53Curious ako, Pink, now, how did you get the knowledge?

07:56Kasi yung angulo, yung execution, because you took up a different course

08:02in college, yeah.

08:03So, how did you get the knowledge in doing action scenes?

08:06Well, uh, thankfully,

08:09I have my father.

08:10He's actually the director of Equal Mito.

08:13Direct Lester.

08:15Direct Lester, yes.

08:16So, since I was a kid, I was going to his sets already.

08:19And at home.

08:22Like, all we talk about is film, action scenes, we watch movies together, we watch YouTube action scenes.

08:32And then, um, also my action director is also a really, really good friend, a family friend.

08:40His name is, uh, Direct Ace Wang Yanbin.

08:44So, he's a director from Singapore.

08:47And, um, he's one of my, ano talaga, uh, mentor in terms of action.

08:54So, I have a lot of mentors teaching me and I have, uh, YouTube as well.

09:00I go to YouTube and learn, uh, film, uh, techniques and, uh, how to do things.

09:08And you also have a knowledge with martial arts.

09:12I mean, how long have you been trained for that?

09:15So, martial arts talaga is part of our, uh, family culture.

09:21So, from generations to generations being passed.

09:25Like, from my lolo to my father to me and my cousins, my brothers,

09:30everyone does, um, martial arts.

09:31So, our martial arts is Chinese martial arts.

09:34It's called Wushu.

09:36And I've been doing it since I was five years old.

09:38So, talagang meron siya talagang, ano na din, background sa, pag, ano, action-action under me.

09:45Speaking about that Pink, I think he also, he was also a national athlete before.

09:50Yes.

09:52So, I was part of the junior national, uh, team of the Philippines.

09:57Uh, yun.

09:58So, I've been doing Wushu since a kid until, like, national team ako, joined a few competitions,

10:06won some, ayan.

10:08So, that helped you?

10:09Yeah.

10:10Did you imagine yourself that you'd follow in the footsteps of your dad one day

10:14and mag-direct din lang stuff?

10:16Like, I guess so.

10:18Parang, seeing him do these things since I was a little kid, like, talagang inspired me.

10:24Okay.

10:24And really dreamt of doing this, uh, job, too.

10:27Hmm.

10:28Curious ako, Lance, kasi diba, um, pagdating sa showbiz, you're a director when it comes to stunts.

10:36But, in college, you took up business technology.

10:40Yes.

10:40So, parang medyo, well, it's really malayo.

10:44Yeah.

10:44So, bakit yun ang kinawa mong course?

10:48Well, um, we do have our family business.

10:51Okay.

10:52And, um, it's also our passion.

10:54Our family business is our passion.

10:56And, uh, I also envision myself to be working there, too, not just in the film industry.

11:05Kasi yung film, ano naman, yung showbiz, hindi mo naman yan pwedeng pangharapin.

11:10Hindi mo alam kung akukuha mo ba yan, kung project is going to come.

11:14But, you know, I think the safest choice talaga if you're going to choose something is, you know, business.

11:24Is it okay to ask for the, uh, restaurant businesses or the brands that you manage?

11:31So, um, we have our first, uh, brand yung rice in a box.

11:36And then, um, eventually we have, uh, Wang Fu.

11:41Uh, it's, uh, Singaporean Chinese cuisine.

11:45And then we got the QQ Ramen.

11:48Uh, it's, uh, 99 Peso Ramen.

11:51And, uh, we have our franchise, um, Others Ice Cream from Singapore.

11:57Si Richard Yap, alam ko, he owns Wang Fu.

12:00He's a part owner of Wang Fu.

12:03That explains why.

12:05How about the, um, branch in QC na Dean and Deluca?

12:09Uh, we also franchise, uh, Dean and Deluca, yung mga QC branches.

12:13And we're actually, uh, opening one in, um, Marilake.

12:19Marilake.

12:20In Tanay.

12:21Oh, okay.

12:23So you've been exposed to your, well, primarily your dad doing this, putting up this businesses.

12:30You, now that you're also, um, involved in a business, what have you learned about handling a business?

12:41Ano yung, uh, insights mo so far?

12:44Uh, some madaling salita, I would say, uh, nothing beats hard work sa business.

12:52My dad would always say na, uh, other people won't make the money for you.

13:00Like, you have to make your own money.

13:02Like, ibig sabihin nun, pag magbubukas ka ng tindahan, wag mo iasa sa, ano, sa crew or sa manager.

13:10Like, you have to be there and bantayan mo talaga.

13:13Ikaw magkahera, magluto ka, magwaiter ka.

13:16So, yun ang natutunan ko talaga from, from our business.

13:21So, ikaw, did you experience that?

13:23Oh, yeah, for sure.

13:25Um, since ako mga, ano, when I was a teenager, I would, uh, be waiting tables.

13:33I'll be a waiter for our, uh, restaurants.

13:36Nag-crew din ako for rice in a box.

13:40And so, inaaral ko rin yung, yung, yung that side of the business also.

13:44And what do you enjoy the most about it now?

13:48Sa, uh, handling the business side, handling the business.

13:52Um, right now, I'm, uh, I'm handling the, the marketing side of our business.

13:58And I'm enjoying that process kasi when we make these marketing collaterals,

14:07marketing efforts, and you see it come to life.

14:10And, uh, see it in the stores, and you see it working.

14:13It's improving sales.

14:14Parang, it's very fulfilling.

14:16Mm-hmm.

14:17Okay, grabe, no?

14:19Correct.

14:20Ang dami nilang, ano, pa-restaurant.

14:23Oo, tsaka, iba-iba talaga siya ng industry, no?

14:26So, growing up, um, how were you raised?

14:30Uh, did your dad influence you na huwag lang mag-focus sa isang interest?

14:36Field.

14:36Ano ba, ayan?

14:37I, I would say, siguro, he, he didn't really force us or say anything.

14:43He would always say na, do what you want.

14:46Do what you love.

14:48Pero, he would always bring me to the office.

14:52He would bring me to the store.

14:53Tatambay lang kami doon.

14:54He would bring me to the set.

14:56And, um, syempre, parang bina in-wash yata ako.

15:01Hindi ko alam, eh.

15:02Na, doon na rin yung nahiligan ko.

15:04Because this is what you see.

15:06Yeah.

15:08Pero, kung ganun, na, if you were exposed to doing the hard work as well,

15:14even though, na, technically, you own the businesses,

15:17ikaw as a child growing up, ano ka, parang talagang ganun kailangan, ganun din yung pagkapalaki sa'yo ng parents mo na maging responsible or hindi yung super sheltered kid.

15:30Well, yeah, it's, it's, uh, in-instill nga talaga sa amin na hard work always pays off.

15:36And, you always have to be responsible.

15:38Like, hindi nga man finors sa amin yung business or the showbiz.

15:42But, sinasabing nga lagi na my dad and my mom na,

15:46in everything you do, you have to do your best.

15:48You have to be responsible and be hardworking.

15:51Hmm.

15:52Ayan.

15:52And, you have to learn everything if you're gonna do it, do the business.

15:58Okay.

15:59Ikaw din ba yung tipong bata na dinadala ng tatay niya sa set, tapos nakikita niya how it works?

16:05May pinan ka ba?

16:05Tama, yes.

16:06Since I was, like, mga six, seven years old, I was going to the set na,

16:12I was looking at how things work.

16:14Hmm.

16:15And, yun, talagang nakita ko yung sarili ko dun, eh.

16:18Talagang na, when I was a kid, sinabi ko na, someday I want to do this also, yeah.

16:25Anong mga memories or yung mga scenes na natatandaan mo nun?

16:28Sino yung mga artista?

16:30May vivid memories ka ba?

16:33For sure, natatandaan ko yung pagsinama ako ng dad ko sa set nung Panday.

16:39He was doing Panday with Jericho Rosales.

16:42Jericho Rosales.

16:43Yes.

16:43Wow!

16:44And Heart Evangelista.

16:45Yes.

16:46Yes.

16:47And I would still vividly remember my interaction with Jericho Rosales nung bata ko.

16:54Talaga.

16:54Okay.

16:56And then, did you think that, oh, I want to act also like you someday?

17:00Oh, hindi.

17:01Hindi pa nun.

17:01Hindi naman.

17:02And then, like, bigay sa akin yung role sa ikod nito.

17:07I never really thought about, I want to be an actor.

17:11Okay.

17:12Okay.

17:13So, kumbaga, it was not really your intention to do it.

17:17Parang, binagay lang sa'yo.

17:18Since you're the stunt director, you might as well act.

17:22Parang, okay, gano'n ka lang.

17:23Parang, parang gano'n.

17:24Parang, parang may, ano, pasok kasi nga, kung nag-trend yung Kenji role na, ibig sabihin yun, more or less, ano dun yung, ay, pwede, di ba?

17:36And also, where did you study when you were here in the Philippines?

17:42My high school was in Chinese International School of Manila.

17:47So, yun, it was in Taguig and I really need to go to an international school kasi I had

17:54talagang hopes and dreams to study abroad.

17:57Okay, it came from you talaga na you want to study a watch?

18:03No, it came from my dad.

18:04But why choose Canada apart from other schools?

18:11So, our University of British Columbia is one of the top schools out there in the world and

18:21the environment in Canada is different from other countries kasi Canada is a very international

18:32country, specifically Vancouver.

18:35Like, if you go to Vancouver, it's not really heavily populated by Canadians.

18:42It's very, very diverse, like Europeans, Chinese, Indians, talaga, and I think it's a good

18:53environment to be in, that kind of mix of culture, knowing different kinds of people,

19:00how they are, how they mingle with people, you learn a lot.

19:04So, there's no discrimination or something kasi kapag gano'n, pag-diverse talaga.

19:09I think pag-diverse, mas less ang ano eh.

19:12Less yung discrimination.

19:13Discrimination kasi mas nagkakaintindihan ng tao na we're different than yung pag may minority

19:18and then merong ano, yun.

19:21Leaving there by yourself or did you have any relatives?

19:26I had a few relatives there to take care of me.

19:28And I was there with my brother also.

19:30Hmm.

19:31My older brother went to the same university.

19:33Okay.

19:34Yeah.

19:34So, that's not so tough, no?

19:36Kasi you have someone with you, not close.

19:38It's not that tough naman, I would say.

19:40Pero, it could get tough.

19:41How was it being independent?

19:43How was it being independent in a country?

19:46It took a while of getting used to.

19:52Like what?

19:54So, chores?

19:55I have chores, cooking.

19:58I never know how to cook.

19:59Did you learn how to cook?

20:00I learned how to cook there.

20:01Pero, I don't cook.

20:02What do you cook?

20:04I don't cook well.

20:06So, it's hard for me.

20:08Like, what's the example?

20:09But, the dish I always cook is adobo.

20:11Wow!

20:12Ay, mayroong adobo.

20:14Mayroong adobo.

20:15Yay!

20:16Sorry.

20:17Pero, yun.

20:18I would say adobo is my best dish.

20:22So, lagi akong adobo.

20:23Wow!

20:24So, medyo nakakasawa din.

20:25Okay.

20:26But, did you get to like travel a lot during your stay there?

20:31Or, talagang studies lang?

20:32Wala, study lang eh.

20:33And, hindi naman kami binigyan ng big budget ng parents namin to go around.

20:40We had to work there in Canada also.

20:42Mga part-time jobs.

20:44Like?

20:45So, I had several.

20:46So, naging waiter din ako.

20:48Lahan.

20:49Naging barista ko.

20:51And then, nag-ano din ako. Deliver din ako ng food.

20:54Ako sa food delivery ko.

20:56On a bike.

20:57Mm-hmm.

20:59Ayan.

20:59Did you enjoy it?

21:00Yeah.

21:01Or what?

21:01I would say I enjoyed it the most.

21:03Kasi yung bike delivery, yung food delivery on a bike, yun talaga yung inenjoy ko.

21:08Because, I like biking.

21:10And I was biked the city.

21:12And then, meron siya parang parang Grab siya.

21:16Grab app.

21:17And then, I had that door dash yung tawag nila din eh.

21:22So, I did that door dash delivery.

21:24And I was biking around the city.

21:27Places you don't really go to.

21:29And then, you're making money rin.

21:32Tsaka yung napansin ko doon, pag ganin yung pagpapalaki mga pink.

21:35Apart from the, you get extra money, yung discipline na nakukuha.

21:40Like, you were into sports.

21:42And then, you've been a working student.

21:44Yung discipline na nakukuha mo dito.

21:46Prepares you later in life, no?

21:50Hopefully.

21:52Hopefully, it did.

21:54Kasi you took up business tech.

21:56Yes.

21:56Sa University of British Columbia.

21:59And then, doing all those odd jobs in the past.

22:03Do you think it helped you now?

22:06Now that you're also managing businesses?

22:09I believe so.

22:11Because, um,

22:12you will learn a lot from those random jobs eh.

22:17You, it, it, first of all, it builds character.

22:20Right.

22:20So, siyempre.

22:22Doon, you're, like, really low.

22:25And you have to be humble.

22:26And, um, uh, parang in, in food delivery, you learn different, uh, things.

22:33And, like, you meet a lot of people, different kinds of people, mga ganang.

22:39Yeah.

22:40Wow.

22:41Ang light nung personal light.

22:43Yay!

22:44Ang ng l Jean.

22:45Ang lusu walong isa nung ng lang.

22:46Brother, pag ka?

22:47Kaya ka, pang ano talaga, pag LP.

22:48Sabi nga sa kanya behind the camp, pag PBB siya eh.

22:51Oh, ae.

22:52I'ma hirap yun.

22:53It's hard. I can't help but think that you went through all those experiences in your life.

23:04You were a working student. You were sheltered because you were very nice.

23:10You didn't have much experience in your life.

23:12But there were such experiences.

23:17It would have been a different matter if you studied here in the Philippines.

23:22For sure. It would be different.

23:24Because here, we have more help.

23:28Not just from our families. Being alone.

23:32Or at least with your brother. It's hard.

23:35I guess you learn more about yourself when you're alone.

23:39Nice.

23:40What's your principle in life?

23:43Because your experience is very optimistic.

23:46Were you taught also about that by your parents?

23:50To be optimistic?

23:51Yeah.

23:52Very zen she.

23:53Calm down.

23:55For sure.

23:57They really instilled that to me.

24:00To be optimistic all the time.

24:02And see the opportunities and everything.

24:07And to be optimistic about a situation.

24:11But actually, naturally, I'm a very negative person.

24:15Really?

24:16Like, I'm wired to see the negative parts of the situation.

24:26Or I always look at the problem first.

24:29Or I have that tendency to assess things and look at the problem first.

24:32But of course, my parents, they always tell me that stop looking at the problem.

24:38Look at the opportunity.

24:39And it's a constant thing for me to keep on reaching.

24:46To look for opportunities and being more optimistic, actually.

24:52Right.

24:52So you officially joined Showbiz, but behind the camera, after you graduated?

24:58Yes.

24:58As soon as I graduated, when I went back, we started the show on one good day.

25:05Yeah.

25:06Hmm.

25:07You really joined the show on one good day.

25:08You really joined the work.

25:09Like, after a month of being here in the Philippines from Canada, we started working on one good day.

25:15So, is there a condition for your dad when you joined Showbiz?

25:22Like, if there's no condition, do you have any reminders about what you should be cautious about?

25:29Um, I guess he would always say that don't chase fame.

25:34Don't chase fame.

25:35Uh, be true to your craft and master your craft and success will follow.

25:45And after the success of Incognito, you are going to be seen again in another Netflix project.

25:52Yes.

25:52Uh, we actually did a show or already it's done.

25:57We finished filming actually before Incognito pa.

26:00It's with, uh, Baron Geisler and the movie is called Delivery Rider.

26:06Um, it's going to be shown, I believe, sometime, uh, this year in, uh, Netflix.

26:12What is it about, Lance?

26:16I'm not too sure if I could talk a lot about it, but basically, it's about a delivery rider

26:21that knows how to fight.

26:23Wow, it's an action ulit.

26:26Yeah, it's an action film.

26:28And then you, um, did the action scenes again.

26:32I mean, you, um, directed the action scenes again for this project.

26:36Yes, yes.

26:37How was it naman?

26:39Um, actually, I worked with, uh, Sir Baron for, for this project.

26:46And the training talaga kami and he was really into the training talaga.

26:50I've never had an actor be that dedicated to, to the training.

26:56So, we would train a lot and, um, coincidentally na nagamit din namin yung training niyan for Incognito.

27:03Wow, like, how long yung training namin?

27:08We trained for three months, I think, three months or more, more than three months.

27:13That's a long time.

27:14That's a long time.

27:15Pero sa kanya talaga, uh, we would train almost twice a week, parang ganon.

27:19It was a lot of training.

27:20Parang Hollywood din, ah?

27:22And then, education and the time that we put to it.

27:24Yeah, yeah.

27:25Mushu din or ibang klase naman?

27:28We trained more of MMA, MMA fighting for this one.

27:33Okay.

27:33Okay, curious ako, I think, no?

27:36Lan, since, um, you are a new breed of action director, no?

27:40Tapos nabanggit mo kanina about yung, well, yung typical action scenes, uh, action genre sa Pilipinas.

27:47What do you aim to put when it comes to the genre, ikaw, as a new breed of action director?

27:55Uh, don't get me wrong, walang mali sa, ano, old style of, um, action filming.

28:02Mm-hmm.

28:02Like, me and my dad, ang favorite nga namin panoorin is si FPJ.

28:06Ah, for sure.

28:07Yeah, old school.

28:08Yeah, that old school talaga.

28:09King of Philippine movies.

28:11It has its time and it was really good at kinapitan siya ng tao.

28:15Right.

28:16Pero, syempre, gusto rin natin mag-introduce ng, ah, new kind of, um, action.

28:21Yung, we can, ah, compete with, ah, international, um, level.

28:28Sorry, sir, what's your question?

28:29Ano yung gusto mong i-bring to the table as a new breed of action director?

28:36I think you answered it well, if you have, if you want to add anything.

28:40Anything to that.

28:41Anong klase yung nakikita mong naiiba ngayon?

28:44I would say, um, a faster-paced, um, action, more numbers, a more realistic kind of, um, action.

28:55And, more, most importantly, yung mukhang masakit.

28:59Diba?

29:00Kasi, realistic.

29:01Realistic.

29:02Yun ang gusto makita ng tao.

29:04Kasi, kanyari, if it's a comedy, ang gusto mo is matawa.

29:08Ang horror, gusto mo matakot.

29:10Pag-action, you want to feel the pain.

29:12Diba?

29:12You want to be thrilled.

29:14Ayun.

29:15And can I just say, no, Pink, you succeeded in doing this in Incognito when I watched the fight scene of Kenji and Andres,

29:23played by Daniel Padilla.

29:26Yung masakit and then yung angling na parang tumatama, it looked realistic.

29:31And ang galing lang ng mga angglo.

29:35Do you know why it looks realistic?

29:37Why?

29:38Because it was real.

29:39Ay, okay.

29:40Okay, son, tumatama.

29:41There's no secret to real.

29:44So, masakit yun.

29:45Hindi naman, every punch is, malapit siya, malapit malapit siya.

29:50Okay.

29:51And sometimes, tumatama talaga.

29:54Oh my god.

29:54That's why.

29:55And then yung mga blocks, talagang tama.

29:58Yung mga takedowns, talagang hulog, masakit.

30:02So, yun.

30:02So, yung mga nits ni Daniel, tumatama talaga dito.

30:06Nakita ko, parang, so talagang totoo pala siya.

30:08So, game siya.

30:10Kasi that was the first time that Daniel ventured into action.

30:14Action.

30:14Yes.

30:14And he was really into it.

30:16Now, he wants…

30:17But it doesn't seem like it was his first time, no?

30:19Kala, yung baayin na.

30:21So, yung mga sabihin, thanks to the mentors.

30:23And Daniel ventured into that on his own, siyempre.

30:26No, but si Daniel talaga is a very talented guy.

30:31Talagang puha niya.

30:33And nakakatawa si Daniel kasi we've got to speak to him about it.

30:36And he said na the next project that he would want, action pa rin yung gusto niya.

30:40And sobe yung happy siya about it.

30:43Yeah.

30:43Kasi dream niya talaga din eh.

30:44Momentum niya, di ba?

30:46Dream niya din maging action star pa rin.

30:48Yeah.

30:48Kasi, I guess na-enjoy niya rin yung…

30:52Kaya pala, to make it more realistic is to don't fake it.

30:56Don't fake it!

30:56Yeah, there's no substitute for realism.

31:00Just make it real.

31:01So, may mga chances that you really…

31:04Well, I think that's accidental na yung you get hurt or…

31:07Meron, meron din.

31:08Hmm.

31:09What was the worst that you've experienced if you might want to share?

31:15Well, um…

31:16But no broken bones naman?

31:18No broken bones.

31:19Like, one of the knees na nakita mo doon talagang tumama siya straight dito sa…

31:24Sikmura.

31:25Sa sikmura.

31:26Sa sikmura ko.

31:26And then medyo napakat ako ng, ano, hindi oras.

31:30Oh, man!

31:31So, I had to breathe for a few minutes.

31:35Ayun.

31:36If you would look at my IG, actually, the behind-the-scenes was…

31:39Is there.

31:39Mmm.

31:40I think…

31:41Oh, kaling, kaling.

31:42I think it's all worth it.

31:44Yeah!

31:45Ang ganda ng execution.

31:46Thank you, thank you.

31:46I enjoyed it.

31:47Kasi, yun nga.

31:48Sabi mo kay Pink, I really like watching action scenes.

31:52Minsan, kahit wala nang talk, just to see them doing the fight scenes.

31:55Hahaha.

31:56Oh, dobbin!

31:57Enjoy siya, oo.

31:58And to watch that kind of action scenes, which I seldom see in Philippine projects, that was a treat.

32:08Thank you, thank you.

32:10Appreciate it.

32:11Sino ba ang, ano, mo, favorite action star mo?

32:15Hollywood kasi.

32:16Yeah, it's okay.

32:17I'm just curious.

32:18Walang naman yung particular, but the action scenes, special effects,

32:23siyempre, that's Hollywood.

32:24They have budgets.

32:25So, you can't go wrong.

32:27Well, I love female characters.

32:30Sila, Charlize, Uma Thorman.

32:32Oh, yeah.

32:33So, those actions…

32:34Kill Bill is my favorite.

32:35Oh, yes.

32:36Oh, yes, naman ako.

32:37I'm the only one that I can do.

32:38It's in 2020.

32:39Yeah.

32:40Sobrang masarap panore na.

32:42Over and over again.

32:44Wow.

32:45So, to see that, you see that in the Philippine setting.

32:50Wow.

32:51Ganda.

32:52That's the goal.

32:53And thankful na nakita niyo yun.

32:56Wow, I'm excited ako.

32:58I hope to see you more, Lance.

32:59And to the delivery rider, no?

33:01Naandod din si Jay Cuenca.

33:03Yes, tama.

33:04Jay Cuenca is there.

33:05You got to work with him?

33:06I got to work with Jake in Ironheart.

33:12And then, built a really good relationship with Jake then.

33:16So, si Jake and Baron, they're very, very passionate people.

33:22And they're very hardworking people na bibigay nila lahat talaga.

33:26Maganda yung binigay nila doon.

33:29So, maraming akabangan na Fight Kids.

33:33Okay.

33:34Nainteresta ka parang, parang ano, parang late this year?

33:40Um, I'm not too sure.

33:42I don't think I can say anything about the, ano, the showing.

33:45Abangan natin ng delivery rider.

33:47Yeah.

33:47I think it's gonna be another treat, no?

33:50If you were to rank yung mga interests mo, passions mo, no?

33:55You have sports, showbiz, and business.

33:58In terms of priority, what will be the sequence?

34:01It's so hard to rank everything.

34:06But what do you mean by showbiz?

34:08Because showbiz is not really my thing.

34:10It's more of like, I would say filmmaking.

34:12Oh, filmmaking.

34:13Okay.

34:14Yeah, I think that's another term.

34:16I would rank filmmaking first.

34:19Okay, definitely.

34:20Okay, so that's what you want.

34:21Next, the business and then sports.

34:26Since I mentioned filmmaking, and you were able to direct actors, in the future, are there any more actors that you would like to direct?

34:46Newbies or the old ones, yung gusto mong makatrabaho and see them doing action scenes?

34:53Ang hirap kasi yung inkong nito, it's such a star-studded cast.

35:01Like, Daniel Padilla, Richard Gutierrez, Ian Veneracion, Maris, Anthony, Kyla, Baron.

35:10Kyla, yeah. Forgot.

35:11Diba? Like, parang hirap magkaroon ng another dream cast.

35:18So, I think I'm working with my dream cast already.

35:22Maybe, already.

35:24Yeah.

35:25And the next project, I don't mind working with the same people.

35:29Pero wala pa namang part two kasi may mga umalingas-masks.

35:34Ang daming nga, nagname-message eh.

35:35Parang, no? Parang magkakaroon ng part two.

35:38Pero, I think as of now, wala pang plans.

35:42So, you know.

35:44Yeah.

35:44You, Lance, may mga, given the chance that, um, given the chance to star in your own project,

35:52tele-serum or movie, would you go for it?

35:55Um, uh, I would always say na, if the opportunity comes, why not?

36:04Pero yung pagiging artista or leading in a film or TV is not really my, uh, my dream or my passion.

36:12But my passion is to produce a really, really good high-level action scene.

36:20And if it, what it takes is for me to act on it or star on it, then why not?

36:28So, ayun. That's it, Pepsters. Thank you so much, Lance, for sharing a lot about your journey.

36:34Ako, sana maraming mga na-inspire din for others na talaga to work hard and just to keep pursuing your dream, no?

36:42Tsaka ako looking forward sa next project ni Lance.

36:45Salamat.

36:45I want to see more of those action scenes talaga.

36:48Thank you, thank you.

36:49Ayan. So, you may now invite Pepsters, um, for your upcoming projects and where they can follow you on social media.
