KAHIT GAANO ka-busy si Vilma Santos bilang Governor ng Batangas City, siya mismo ang nag-adjust sa shooting schedule ni Piolo Pascual para sa indie film na Extra ni Direk Jeffrey Jeturian. Almost everyday kasi ang taping nito sa teleseryeng Apoy Sa Dagat with Angelica Panganiban. Kahit busy si PJ, pangarap din niyang makatrabaho at makaeksena ang Star For All Seasons. Balita nga namin, for the love of Ate Vi (walang TF) kaya pumayag sina Piolo at Marian Rivera mag-cameo role sa pelikulang ito.
Tuwing may shooting, walang inaaksayang oras si Direk Jeffrey, lahat nang eksenang dapat kunan kina Piolo, Marian, Cherie Gil at Ate Vi mabilis nitong nagawa. Minsan na naming nakita kung papaano magtrabaho si Direk sa set ng kanyang pelikula. Sa totoo lang, breaktime lang ang pahinga nito, pagkatapos nitong lumafang, uutusan agad ang assistant director na i-ready na ang susunod na eksena. Bawat take sinisiguro ni Direk Jefrey na perfect ang scene. Well, sa galing umarte nina Piolo, Cherie Gil, Pilar Pilapil at Ate Vi, siguradong to the highest level ang kanilang performance. Ewan lang sa acting ni Marian ?
Tumatak sa isipan namin ang dramatic scene nina Ate Vi at Direk Marlon Bautista na kinunan ng madaling-araw. Dakilang extra ang role ng award-winning-actress kaya’t madalas hindi nito napi-perfect ang bawa’t eksena. Ang eksena, madalas magkamali sa dialogue, mali ang blocking etc,etc. Paulit-ulit na take, hindi pa rin nito ma-get ang instruction ng assistant director. Hanggang maimbudo na si Direk Marlon at sinugod nito si Ate Vi at pinagmumura mula ulo hanggang paa sa harap ng mga artista at extra. Pagkatapos, kinaladkad pa ito paalis sa set.
Nakakakilabot ang eksenang ‘yun nina Gov. Vi at Marlon, “Sorry po, Direk,” ang tanging dialogue na binitiwan ng magaling na actress. More on facial reaction niya ang kinunan ni Direk Jeffrey. Reaction, kung papaano matatanggap ng isang extra ang kahihiyang inabot niya sa isang director sa harap ng madlang pipol. Sa eksenang lang na ‘yun, kakabugin na ni Ate Vi ang magiging katunggali niya for Best Actress sa Cinemalaya Film festival this July.
