00:00 to be part of this.
00:02 And thank you to all of you.
00:04 [Applause]
00:06 I'm Anthony, I'm a cameo
00:08 in the Gaming Post. I have three
00:10 siphons in the hill.
00:12 Cameo in the Gaming Post.
00:14 It's nice to be a cameo.
00:16 But I'd also like to
00:18 bring the, give the
00:20 mic back to
00:22 Tito Boots. Can you introduce
00:24 on behalf
00:26 of the cast
00:28 and the crew.
00:30 Tito, you're up.
00:32 Yeah, thank you.
00:36 Thank you, Anthony.
00:38 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:40 [Speaking in Tagalog]
00:42 We refer you to
01:02 the late Ronaldo Mendes.
01:04 This is not the time to mourn
01:06 his death, but the time
01:08 I think for us to enjoy
01:10 all of you to celebrate
01:12 celebrate
01:14 the industrious
01:16 and meaningful life
01:18 that he led as an actor
01:20 and as a member of the industry.
01:22 And
01:24 remember him
01:26 with fondest thoughts
01:28 and with a lot of respect
01:30 for his filmography and his
01:32 great contribution to the
01:34 industry by way of his work.
01:36 So,
01:38 our loss is Heaven's gain, but
01:40 if I know Ronaldo,
01:42 I'd like to bring him to the film
01:44 and let us experience
01:46 that we can only see it here
01:48 in the audience, his men.
01:50 Thank you.
01:52 And if you can say
01:54 a quiet and short prayer
01:56 for Lover and the Princesses of Our Hearts.
01:58 How do they want to know if Lover
02:02 is a CEO or not as a film?
02:04 Lover, in many films
02:06 even in 1974
02:08 they were already making a film
02:10 about Ronaldo.
02:12 We were the cat meal that day
02:14 when we went out.
02:16 But the laughter
02:18 that day was different than today.
02:20 Maybe they planned it differently.
02:22 In the film, what we did, the number of films
02:26 were...
02:28 Here, unfortunately,
02:30 we are a strange couple
02:32 so we were not
02:34 in the same scene.
02:36 The one who was often with him
02:38 was our son, Marcel.
02:40 I didn't have the good fortune
02:42 that we were together
02:44 in the earlier press conference,
02:46 story conferences, and even then
02:48 Ronaldo,
02:50 he was facing many challenges.
02:52 But it was still a laugh.
02:54 And it was always
02:56 a joy to work with him.
02:58 I'm sure you will see him.
03:00 And now, as we're here,
03:02 we dedicate this project
03:04 to his memory.
03:06 It can be all your help.
03:08 [applause]
03:10 Thank you so much,
03:12 Miss Butz.
03:14 Who are Miss Butz and Sir Ronaldo?
03:16 The original Don Bell of their time.
03:18 You are the original love team.
03:20 Thank you so much.
03:22 We already met some of the cast
03:24 and their characters.
03:26 Now, we will proceed with our
03:28 second question from
03:30 a good friend, Michael Almazer.
03:32 Where is Michael?
03:34 Michael is here without any dress code.
03:36 Actually, I saw this dress code.
03:38 Michael, hello.
03:40 How's the New Year?
03:42 Hi, Donnie Eldridge
03:44 of the cast of GG. Congratulations.
03:46 We're excited to watch
03:48 the different Donnie.
03:50 We're excited to see Donnie
03:52 the other side of Donnie as an entertainer.
03:54 But first, I want to ask
03:56 Miss Marisa Laksa.
03:58 What is your impression
04:00 of Donnie since you
04:02 brought him here as a co-star?
04:04 First time?
04:06 First time?
04:08 First time
04:10 when I worked with Donnie
04:12 and I realized that he's really good.
04:14 Wow.
04:16 There's a scene
04:18 where I forgot my lines.
04:20 I was embarrassed.
04:22 Because when I hugged him,
04:24 I covered him.
04:26 So, good job, Sam.
04:28 What do you want to say to Donnie?
04:32 Of course,
04:34 it's a privilege to be with
04:36 Marisa Laksa,
04:38 my twin.
04:40 It's a dream come true.
04:42 I'm really glad that it's a reality.
04:44 Not only in the game,
04:46 but in real life.
04:48 So, I'm not shy.
04:50 I had a blast
04:52 to be with my mom.
04:54 It's a bit awkward sometimes, but it's okay.
04:56 But a lot of pressure working with your mom
04:58 and your other...
05:00 She's my mom.
05:02 She's the one who thinks of you.
05:04 We're not close here, so she can't think of me.
05:06 I think of her,
05:08 and our nuances are different.
05:10 But it's good
05:12 because it's really different
05:14 what happened to us in real life.
05:16 We're super close.
05:18 We're like brothers.
05:20 Here, we have a problem.
05:22 So, there.
05:24 It's fun.
05:26 We really know you.
05:28 You're a pro at what you do.
05:30 You prepared your character.
05:32 How did you prepare your character
05:34 that's different from what you did before?
05:36 It's really different
05:38 because this role...
05:40 I've always liked games as a child.
05:44 But it's different because
05:46 we're talking about pro scene.
05:48 Esports pros.
05:50 I think we really had to have
05:52 a lot of preparation for this.
05:54 We had to learn well-being.
05:56 Because I'm not a hardcore gamer.
05:58 I'm a pro.
06:00 I had to learn from those who really stream,
06:02 those who really compete.
06:04 A lot of those guys were actually on the set with us.
06:06 Of course,
06:08 it helped me a lot to change
06:10 because this team
06:12 is not one player.
06:14 It's five players. Or four players.
06:16 Five players.
06:18 Of course, we also had
06:20 gaming consultants here at Metasports
06:22 every single day with us on set
06:24 to make sure that
06:26 everything we do, all our nuances,
06:28 even the way we talk,
06:30 even the way we move,
06:32 it would relate and give justice to
06:34 actually esports players.
06:36 Because they deserve it. They've been through a lot.
06:38 They've been through a lot.
06:40 They have gone through a lot
06:42 to get where they are.
06:44 Especially us in the Philippines.
06:46 There are a lot of international awards
06:48 that consider this a sport.
06:50 It's not a joke. So big props to all of them.
06:52 You said that you're proud of the
06:54 animation in the movie.
06:56 How hopeful
06:58 are you about the
07:00 animation and designs?
07:02 Well, of course. Since Hanna, my sister,
07:06 was on board, she is
07:08 the creative producer. We really made sure
07:10 that he would want to watch a movie
07:12 that we would be proud of.
07:14 The game was a big part since we made
07:16 the game from scratch.
07:18 For the movie itself.
07:20 It's a playable game.
07:22 It's called Requiem.
07:24 You'll only see that game in the movie.
07:26 The team really worked hard
07:28 on the VFX.
07:30 I still miss it.
07:32 Until now.
07:34 I still miss
07:36 what the team did
07:38 to come up with that game.
07:40 But yeah, it's really been
07:42 a hands-on experience.
07:44 Right?
07:46 Do you want to say something about the game?
07:48 So,
07:50 with the game, we've been working
07:52 on it for over a year.
07:54 Normally, we'll hear from other
07:56 productions. It's usually a very short time for
07:58 post-production. But with this movie
08:00 specifically, we would like to
08:02 follow what is
08:04 the timeline to actually make
08:06 the VFX really good.
08:08 Of course, shout out to Romo Sheep
08:10 who did the game itself.
08:12 And our VFX with
08:14 Malas Mana Studios.
08:16 The whole team has been working hard
08:18 on it every day until
08:20 we're going to release it in the next few weeks.
08:22 So, it's going to be
08:24 original and it's going to be, I think,
08:26 the first movie from the Philippines
08:28 who actually made a movie.
08:30 A game from scratch. So, I hope you
08:32 get to
08:34 see how hard we worked on it.
08:36 How's working
08:40 with Sir Leonardo Valdez?
08:42 Because I saw
08:44 your post on the IG story.
08:46 No, I'm just kidding.
08:48 I was so privileged that I was
08:52 able to work with him. He's such a joy
08:54 to have on set.
08:56 He has a lot of jokes. He's very
08:58 fun to be with
09:00 and makes us really feel comfortable
09:02 around him. Even here,
09:04 he's a bit
09:06 strict
09:08 with Seth. He says
09:10 things a bit deep. I don't feel
09:12 that at all.
09:14 I'm just glad that we were
09:16 blessed with his presence during the whole filmmaking.
09:18 What's the
09:22 game that you recommend
09:26 to your friends?
09:28 To make them connect?
09:30 Of course, I recommend...
09:40 something that
09:42 requires teamwork.
09:44 It's either mobile
09:46 or FPS.
09:48 So, that's it.
09:50 That's good.
09:52 Yeah, mobile is good.
09:54 You're the one who's honest.
09:58 When we lose,
10:00 we're like, "Who's the player?"
10:02 "I really like you."
10:04 No, it's like...
10:06 When we lose,
10:08 we're like, "Ah,
10:10 it depends on the teammates."
10:12 If there's a TVB boy beside you,
10:16 you're like, "Ah, I lost."
10:18 GG.
10:20 How about Caleb and
10:22 Tom?
10:24 That's it.
10:26 Mobile is probably my personal favorite.
10:28 League of Legends.
10:32 Of course, there's teamwork.
10:34 We can see
10:36 each other's communication skills.
10:38 We're happy.
10:40 I feel like you'll enjoy it
10:42 if you play ML or COD.
10:44 Flash?
10:48 I mean, Call of Duty.
10:50 I'm kidding.
10:52 I play ML.
10:54 I'll destroy the tower.
10:56 I'll destroy the tower.
10:58 Thank you so much.
11:04 What other games do you play
11:06 aside from fighting games?
11:08 I play a lot of Gen Z.
11:10 What are the games you're familiar with
11:12 in mobile games or computer games?
11:14 Hogwarts, Legacy,
11:16 Mobile Legends.
11:18 I also play a lot of Player Neighbor.
11:20 Ah, you also played Player Neighbor.
11:22 Thank you so much.
11:24 Thank you so much.
11:26 Here's our third question
11:28 from
11:30 TV5.
11:32 Marguerite Aiter.
11:34 Sorry, I'll go there.
11:36 Congratulations on your film.
11:38 We're very much excited to see this.
11:40 Especially this kind of storyline
11:42 for the esports community.
11:44 We're talking about social media
11:46 and the advent of the esports.
11:48 But Donnie, you being
11:50 the it guy of the moment,
11:52 we just want to ask
11:54 how do you feel about that?
11:56 You are trending, especially
11:58 recently on TikTok.
12:00 What are your thoughts
12:02 on the trend?
12:04 What are your thoughts
12:06 when that happens?
12:08 Does that affect you?
12:10 What do you want to say about that?
12:12 Especially the fans make their own stories of it.
12:14 Of course, it's our wedding.
12:20 We had a great time.
12:22 We're all friends with Shobie.
12:24 So we're just waiting for each other.
12:26 That's it.
12:28 I think for me,
12:30 it's just having
12:32 peace of mind
12:34 that we're all friends.
12:36 We're okay.
12:38 We enjoy our work.
12:40 That's the most important thing.
12:42 Thank you, Donnie, for answering that.
12:44 Of course, for a big follow-up,
12:46 about Gigi.
12:48 What do you want to tell the younger movie audience
12:50 regarding how to
12:52 of course, the return of TikTok
12:54 the year after the MFF.
12:56 What's the best way
12:58 to explain to them that it's also
13:00 for the whole family?
13:02 What plot is it there that you can share so far?
13:04 I like Mami's tagline.
13:06 Ma'am, please tell us your tagline.
13:08 Gigi is not just
13:10 for the family,
13:12 but for Esports.
13:14 That's what I'm saying.
13:16 It's so scary.
13:18 I feel like they don't know about it.
13:20 Do you know that it's possible?
13:22 They don't know about it.
13:24 I know that there's a commercial for it.
13:26 They don't know about it.
13:28 That's what Mami said.
13:30 It's not just for the family.
13:32 It's for Esports.
13:34 This movie has an Esports aspect.
13:36 It's about bad boys,
13:38 pro gamer,
13:40 aspiring
13:42 top leaderboards player.
13:44 But I also have my grandmother here.
13:46 I have my mom here.
13:48 I also have
13:50 school in my life.
13:52 I have friends.
13:54 I think all generations can relate to this.
13:56 Because on one end of the spectrum,
13:58 the parents are thinking,
14:00 "Why does he sleep all the time?
14:02 What does he do in his free time?"
14:04 He doesn't sleep.
14:06 But at the other end,
14:08 "He's so strict.
14:10 I have to get this video
14:12 so that I can escape
14:14 the emotions I don't have."
14:16 To meet new friends that you wouldn't have met
14:18 if not for online gaming.
14:20 That's why
14:22 if you watch it
14:24 from a different lens,
14:26 you'll really get to relate to the movie.
14:28 That's what I love about it.
14:30 It just doesn't focus on one side.
14:32 But all aspects, all sides.
14:34 Can we hear about the lessons you learned,
14:36 Miss Maricel, regarding that?
14:38 Because for you to be able to
14:40 do it, you had to know
14:42 the legends.
14:44 But there were a lot of successful kids
14:46 that came out of it.
14:48 That's true. As a parent,
14:50 the lesson I learned is
14:52 to be judgmental.
14:54 To those of us who are watching,
14:56 let's ask first.
14:58 Let's know what's happening
15:00 before we judge.
15:02 That's all.
15:04 Thank you so much. And congratulations again.
15:06 1 to 4 to 4.
15:08 Wow. 1 to 4 to 4.
15:10 That's right.
15:12 1 to 4 to 4.
15:14 Thank you.
15:16 Thank you, Miss MJ.
15:18 Thank you so much.
15:20 We'll take questions
15:22 from the press.
15:24 Do we have...
15:28 Natalie, there.
15:30 Of course, to those watching
15:32 on social media, about TikTok,
15:34 at least now it's clear.
15:36 Because we're all live
15:38 on Facebook and we can see
15:40 that there are still people asking.
15:42 At least we have questions and answers.
15:44 Let's focus on the GG movie.
15:46 If there are questions,
15:48 we'll go back to that interview
15:50 and we can replay it.
15:52 Yes.
15:54 Do we have Miss Charm Me
15:56 and Miss Natalie
15:58 from PhilStar?
16:00 I have a question.
16:02 I want to switch.
16:04 So we can work out.
16:06 Hello.
16:08 Hi. Good afternoon.
16:14 So how would you
16:16 explain to the
16:18 non-Filipino fans
16:20 what is the reason?
16:22 This question is for everyone.
16:28 Well,
16:32 it's really hard to answer.
16:34 Because even if they
16:36 are not
16:38 in this band,
16:40 not in the sports,
16:42 the truth is,
16:44 I've been
16:46 in Zillennium
16:48 I've reached Nintendo,
16:52 Mario, Crash Bandicoot,
16:54 and other games.
16:56 But I used to be a gamer
17:00 in the 1980s
17:02 and 90s.
17:04 While filming,
17:10 I understood
17:12 and I got to meet
17:14 professional e-sports players.
17:16 Apparently,
17:20 when they win
17:22 millions,
17:24 it's actually
17:26 a profession.
17:28 It's just not
17:30 a profession.
17:32 So it's like
17:38 it's a craft.
17:40 It's not related to
17:42 acting or
17:44 being...
17:48 I mean,
17:50 don't judge.
17:52 I enjoy this.
17:56 I'm excited to see
17:58 the VFX.
18:08 So, Tita Boots
18:10 has grandchildren
18:12 who teach her about these gadgets.
18:14 Maybe, Tita Boots, you can share
18:16 with us from a non-gamers perspective,
18:18 how can we
18:20 enjoy the movie
18:22 if you're not a gamer?
18:24 Maybe we can enjoy it
18:28 even if we don't understand
18:30 the game itself.
18:32 Through
18:34 our channel,
18:36 we can share
18:38 to the people we love,
18:40 the members of the family
18:42 who are into it.
18:44 That should give us the initiative
18:46 to try and understand
18:48 what the game is all about
18:50 and why all of these young people
18:52 are into it.
18:54 Maybe we can bridge the generation gap
18:56 so that we can learn
18:58 something every day.
19:04 The short scenes
19:06 I had with Donnie
19:08 on the screen,
19:10 I really can't understand.
19:12 But,
19:14 with the detailed explanation
19:16 of our scriptwriter,
19:18 I thought
19:20 that this is something
19:22 that contributes to life.
19:24 It's not just violence,
19:26 it's not just action.
19:28 There's a story
19:30 in every game,
19:32 and we should understand it.
19:34 We just really have to
19:38 sustain our interests
19:40 and the best reason is
19:42 so that we can relate more
19:44 to the young people in our lives,
19:46 the people we love.
19:48 How about Lily Boy and Johannes?
19:50 Do you want to answer the question?
19:52 This is for everyone.
19:54 Of course,
19:58 for gamers,
20:00 let's look at the cast.
20:02 Tita Maricel, Sir Bam,
20:04 Tita Boots,
20:06 they're really star scouts.
20:08 For sure,
20:10 even in anime,
20:12 one of the top anime is
20:14 Haikyuu!
20:16 I don't play volleyball,
20:18 but I watch Haikyuu!
20:20 We will have
20:22 an interest in a sport
20:24 or a genre
20:26 that we don't know about.
20:28 The story is beautiful.
20:30 We're telling it here,
20:32 and I'm sure
20:34 we'll really like it,
20:36 even if you don't have a lot of ideas
20:38 about what we're saying
20:40 or why we're doing it.
20:42 And it's not just a story
20:44 that they wrote,
20:46 I know you'll enjoy it.
20:48 That's all.
20:50 For me,
20:52 I copied everything they said.
20:56 Thank you so much.
20:58 I copied everything.
21:00 I'm almost the same.
21:04 I copied everything they said.
21:06 But watch this, Gigi,
21:08 because non-gamers
21:10 should watch this
21:12 because
21:14 in games,
21:16 it depends on the person.
21:18 If non-gamers watch this,
21:20 they might like it.
21:22 Just try it.
21:24 Try it.
21:26 For me,
21:30 non-gamers,
21:32 you'll hear from them
21:34 why they're addicted to games,
21:36 why they're addicted to this,
21:38 especially the parents who think,
21:40 "Why does my child always play games?
21:42 Why doesn't he get a homework?"
21:44 Because they'll see in this movie
21:46 that they're still playing.
21:48 So for me,
21:50 this movie will be
21:52 a good example for them.
21:54 That's why I said that.
21:56 I wanted to add something.
21:58 The statistics in the Philippines
22:00 are 45 million gamers.
22:02 That's one out of three Filipinos.
22:04 So we tried to understand their world.
22:08 Where are we?
22:10 What is our world?
22:12 Our hope was every parent would say,
22:14 "What movie should I watch
22:16 to show my world?"
22:18 Because that's where the results
22:20 are.
22:22 We want to tell the parents,
22:24 "You can watch this movie
22:26 to show what's happening."
22:28 So, one out of three Filipinos
22:30 is a gamer.
22:32 How can you not believe?
22:34 Why should you not?
22:36 It's about the world.
22:38 You shouldn't be deceived by the movie.
22:40 I think this is one of the points
22:42 of this film.
22:44 You don't have to completely understand
22:46 to accept yourself.
22:48 I'm not done with the movie.
22:50 As I said,
22:52 we have our effects.
22:54 But what I have seen so far
22:56 as a producer,
22:58 I didn't just stand there
23:00 and watch the game.
23:02 I really shed tears
23:04 watching the movie.
23:06 So, it is for both
23:08 family and for
23:10 eSports players.
23:12 Thank you.
23:14 I have something to add.
23:16 For the grandmothers,
23:18 for the mothers,
23:20 for the aunts,
23:22 for the older siblings,
23:24 this is a message.
23:26 Maybe your vocabulary
23:28 is limited to
23:30 "GG"
23:32 which means "Galopo"
23:34 (Galopo = "Galopo" in Filipino)
23:36 Right?
23:38 That's how it is in our life.
23:40 But,
23:42 after this movie,
23:44 we will expand your vocabulary.
23:46 We will expand your understanding
23:48 to the younger generation.
23:50 And we will not be limited to "Galopo"
23:52 but "GG" as in "Routine".
23:54 (Applause)
23:56 Okay,
24:10 let's have a little icebreaker.
24:12 We will give our first
24:14 raffle.
24:16 This is from SMART.
24:18 10 winners of SMART Swap Kit.
24:20 If all of you will
24:22 fill up
24:24 your raffle.
24:26 I think we need to fill up
24:28 our cash here.
24:30 Can you get a name, Joannes?
24:32 Our first raffle winner
24:38 is
24:40 Nazamel Tabales.
24:42 Nazamel, there you go.
24:44 You're not happy.
24:46 You expected a big prize.
24:48 But, it's okay.
24:50 It's a raffle prize.
24:52 Our second winner is
24:54 Tige Boy.
24:56 We're giving 10 winners.

26:28 How about we get here, by the way?
26:32 There's a lot of you who are not here.

27:02 Thank you so much, Mark.
27:04 Two more.
27:10 Daniel Aton.
27:12 Former.
27:14 Hello.
27:16 Our sixth winner.
27:18 Tina Zamora.
27:22 Tina Zamora.
27:24 Tina is here.
27:26 She's here.
27:28 Okay.
27:32 Last two.
27:34 Jonel Esteliore.
27:38 Jonel Esteliore.
27:40 Congratulations.
27:42 We're going to go back to our first winner for the Grand Draw.
27:44 This is quite different.
27:48 I'm surprised that there's a raffle.
27:50 We always have this, right?
27:52 Next.
27:54 For Push.
28:00 Jolly Chua.
28:02 Congratulations.
28:04 We're going to go back.
28:06 We're going to go back to our Q&A.
28:08 Wait, Jory.
28:14 I have something to say.
28:16 Do you want to know who Icebox is?
28:18 Fill up your own.
28:20 We're going to fill up our own.
28:22 Icebox, are you okay with the raffle?
28:24 Fill up your own.
28:26 Please welcome.
28:28 The Red Claw Crew.
28:30 I told you.
28:34 So, Direk.
28:36 Can you say something to our audience?
28:38 Can you tell us
28:40 if you're the one who came up with this?
28:42 Or is it just another persona?
28:44 Watch the movie.
28:46 You'll see.
28:48 We're confused
28:50 if Direk is the one who came up with this.
28:52 But we should look forward to it
28:54 because he's the one who came up with this.
28:56 That character.
28:58 You'll see him in the movie.
29:00 Especially in our trailer.
29:02 So, our next question.
29:04 Is there a question for our cast?
29:06 Last two.
29:08 We're down to our last two questions.
29:10 Okay.
29:12 Hello, I'm Issa Sarkoto from the 25.
29:14 Direk Prime Crews.
29:16 Direk Prime.
29:18 Is it necessary
29:20 if a movie's theme
29:22 is the director's own?
29:24 Is it a field of interest?
29:26 Or do you have a background
29:30 in the game industry?
29:32 Maybe it's just necessary
29:34 that I have a background
29:36 in gaming.
29:38 Actually, in 2010,
29:40 I tried to
29:42 form a team
29:44 and I tried to be a GoPro
29:46 as a prize.
29:48 So, I went here.
29:50 But I tried
29:52 to form
29:54 an amateur team.
29:56 Like K-Dirt?
29:58 K-Dirt.
30:00 We know that you're a gamer.
30:02 You're really super related to the movie.
30:04 Tell us something about that.
30:06 Something about that?
30:10 When you're making your developing files,
30:12 is it easy?
30:14 Or do you just play it?
30:16 Of course, that's it.
30:18 I'm a gamer.
30:20 I just need to get the movie.
30:22 The things...
30:24 When I play this,
30:26 there are times when I get excited
30:28 about what I'm doing in the game.
30:30 My hands are like this.
30:32 And then,
30:34 my expression
30:36 when it happens in the game.
30:38 And then, it happens in the scene.
30:40 So, it's like, "Ah, okay."
30:42 They click. They match.
30:44 Are there instances
30:46 when they get ideas
30:48 from you, the production?
30:50 Yes, we ask the production
30:52 for suggestions.
30:54 We ask them to make our films
30:56 so that it can be included in the movie.
30:58 And then,
31:00 for Ma'am Boots,
31:02 Ma'am Boots,
31:04 when the movie
31:06 didn't make it to the Metro Manila
31:08 Film Fest,
31:10 do you think
31:12 this is the best time
31:14 for us to open
31:16 our Filipino film?
31:18 You know,
31:20 our audience
31:22 is very excited
31:24 about the case of
31:26 "Blessing in Disguise."
31:28 Maybe,
31:30 if this continues,
31:32 maybe
31:34 there will be blessings,
31:36 there will be advantages
31:38 that will be shown at a different time.
31:40 Although,
31:42 as a member of the Execom of Mobile Fund,
31:44 we really, really
31:46 want to congratulate
31:48 and top our hat
31:50 to MMFF
31:52 for the successful festival.
31:54 Not only in terms of the blend,
31:56 the mix of the 10 movies,
31:58 it was really good.
32:00 The selection was good.
32:02 And most of all,
32:04 it brought people back to the cinema.
32:06 And we're very confident
32:08 that with the momentum
32:10 that MMFF is showing,
32:12 this film,
32:14 this film,
32:16 this film,
32:18 it will align with the flow,
32:20 it will ride with the flow and the type
32:22 of the MMFF.
32:24 It will arouse the curiosity,
32:26 especially of the younger people.
32:28 The 7FF series
32:34 really doesn't have anything like this
32:36 that would evoke
32:38 the interest of the young people.
32:40 So maybe, this will be a hit.
32:42 Hopefully so, because
32:44 the film is discerning.
32:46 My last question is for Donny.
32:48 Did you build a friendship
32:50 with your co-cameramen
32:52 in the film?
32:54 And after that,
32:56 did it transit to
32:58 your personal life
33:00 and leading?
33:02 As a team?
33:04 As a team?
33:06 Or completed as a team?
33:08 Oh yes, we have this weekend.
33:12 We went to
33:14 Predator League
33:16 in Moja Arena.
33:18 It was our first time as a team.
33:22 Of course,
33:24 during the filming of this movie,
33:26 we became close.
33:28 We really made sure
33:32 that our comms,
33:34 of course,
33:36 since it's a starting team,
33:38 you don't know each other yet.
33:40 You have your own way of playing,
33:42 and of course,
33:44 if you're not close,
33:46 you'll have problems.
33:48 We went through that all of it together.
33:50 It's nice because
33:52 I was with G-Boy,
33:54 and with Can't Buy Me Love.
33:56 Then I got Don
33:58 in the music video.
34:00 I was with Yohannes in Basketball.
34:02 I wasn't with you much,
34:04 but in the movie,
34:06 we were together.
34:08 It's nice because
34:10 he's a gamer,
34:12 as well as our DOP,
34:14 Goel de Haki,
34:16 a hardcore gamer.
34:18 So, rest their pack.
34:20 But we're all very close.
34:22 We really felt that during the set
34:24 because we need
34:26 our chemistry as teammates.
34:28 Thank you and congratulations.
34:32 Thank you.
34:34 Thank you so much.
34:36 So, this time,
34:38 we have a few questions
34:40 because we have gamers and streamers
34:42 with us today.
34:44 We invited them to share their perspectives
34:46 and maybe we can
34:48 ask them questions.
34:50 Let's introduce them.
34:52 Hello!
34:54 Let's introduce our guests.
34:56 Hi, I'm Laika.
34:58 Otherwise known as Laika Bolt,
35:00 my gamer tag.
35:02 I do a lot of Valorant content.
35:06 Actually, I'm with my mom today.
35:08 So, maybe
35:12 my question is
35:14 it's hard to answer
35:16 but maybe
35:18 what can you say?
35:20 Did you strengthen your bond
35:22 and have a deeper understanding
35:24 of your motherhood
35:26 to your child
35:28 through this movie?
35:30 Yes, I had
35:34 a lot of respect
35:36 for people who consider
35:38 gaming as a sport
35:40 and a career.
35:42 Because it was explained to me
35:44 how many moves
35:46 top gamers need.
35:48 Like, the hand movement.
35:50 How many do you need?
35:52 A lot.
35:54 Because they were trying one game
35:56 and I got confused.
35:58 I got vertigo.
36:00 And then I realized that my reflexes
36:02 were not good.
36:04 It's easy to judge
36:06 as a parent.
36:08 Like what I said earlier,
36:10 we shouldn't judge people.
36:12 We should try to understand.
36:14 Instead of telling people what to do,
36:16 we should ask more questions.
36:18 I think that always
36:20 improves our relationship.
36:22 I have a question for Donnie.
36:24 Of course, it's your first time
36:26 to have a gamer role.
36:28 How has this expanded
36:30 your worldview towards esports
36:32 or people you haven't
36:34 met in the past?
36:36 My view of the esports community
36:40 has been great.
36:42 I have a lot of respect for you.
36:44 For your streamers,
36:46 cosplayers, esports pros.
36:48 Because, of course,
36:52 you need coaches.
36:54 It's important.
36:56 It's not just one person.
36:58 It's a team fight.
37:00 I really saw the importance
37:02 of practice, of training,
37:04 of discipline,
37:06 of time management.
37:08 Because, of course, there are a lot of people
37:10 who are going through the same thing.
37:12 So, it just comes to show that
37:14 first of all, the Philippines,
37:16 we are very talented.
37:18 We have a lot of great gamers.
37:20 We have a lot of awards internationally.
37:22 Again, of course, it's considered
37:24 a sport.
37:26 I understand why.
37:28 It really involves a lot of your time,
37:30 a lot of your effort.
37:32 It's not easy.
37:34 So, respect to all that you guys do.
37:36 I saw that,
37:38 well, live,
37:40 I saw how they play
37:42 because the pro players,
37:44 they're on set.
37:46 So, they actually had a bit of scrimmages.
37:48 We saw that, right?
37:50 They played a lot.
37:52 They're not just people, they're great.
37:54 They're like robots.
37:56 You guys are so good.
37:58 They all became my idols.
38:00 So, me,
38:02 entering, I really wanted to make sure that
38:04 I can give justice to the player,
38:06 the escape.
38:08 Because I know that he represents
38:10 a lot of Filipinos.
38:12 And a lot of people going through the same thing.
38:14 Someday, you want to make it to the big scene.
38:16 They want to make it internationally.
38:18 They want to make it with a team.
38:20 They want to be sponsored.
38:22 It's a big thing.
38:24 So, that all came to play
38:26 obviously with the help of
38:28 Tokwat Bad Boys, this cast,
38:30 Direk, it's a big help.
38:32 Okay, last question
38:34 for Lonnie, for me.
38:36 You mentioned to me earlier
38:38 that you're into zombie games.
38:40 So, let's say that
38:42 there's a zombie apocalypse.
38:44 Who from the Tokwat Bad Boys
38:46 will you bring
38:48 to be your buddy
38:50 when that happens?
38:52 We don't have a specific person.
38:54 We're all done.
38:56 Who will be my buddy?
38:58 Ah, who?
39:00 It should be, it should be.
39:02 Who?
39:04 Icebox.
39:06 Icebox will be my buddy.
39:10 Thank you.
39:14 Thank you so much.
39:16 I love their questions.
39:18 I wonder if he can do something else after the streaming.
39:20 Ah, he's an esports host.
39:22 That's why.
39:24 Thank you so much.
39:26 This is our last question.
39:28 We'll have one more.
39:30 Hi, I'm Ron.
39:32 I'm a esports commentator
39:34 and also an event organizer
39:36 for esports tournaments.
39:38 So, my question
39:40 with the Tokwat Bad Boys is
39:46 have you watched or did you
39:48 see the pro players
39:50 or have you watched
39:52 your favorite tournament moments
39:54 from
39:56 before
39:58 getting into this movie?
40:00 That made you
40:02 "Hey, this is how I feel."
40:04 Well, me personally,
40:08 I'm friends with some esports athletes
40:10 and commentators.
40:12 So, during the time of shoot,
40:14 I asked for advice
40:16 from Ville, Teor,
40:18 and other
40:20 commentators and other esports players.
40:22 And I know
40:24 SuperMJ, and sometimes
40:26 we've played with
40:28 Porko and the rest of the
40:30 the rest of the
40:32 team. So,
40:34 during that time, I was
40:36 a bit IT-y, but of course,
40:38 I only saw
40:40 what we saw
40:42 during the stream. So,
40:44 I've watched some
40:46 YouTube videos.
40:48 Like, for example,
40:50 the international,
40:52 sometimes, a team
40:54 makes a documentary
40:56 about what's happening
40:58 outside of
41:00 what we see
41:02 in the stadium.
41:04 How they, as a team,
41:06 organize.
41:08 There are videos like that.
41:10 So, that's it. I personally
41:12 researched and made it.
41:14 And, as a team,
41:16 I'm friends.
41:18 Maybe,
41:20 it's faster to relate
41:22 to gaming
41:24 because, since I was young,
41:26 I've played Dota,
41:28 Counter-Strike. So,
41:30 when we were shooting,
41:32 it became easy because
41:34 we have a friend,
41:36 and here's Iki, who's
41:38 knowledgeable about gaming.
41:40 So, I'm just grateful that
41:42 we're together in the shoot.
41:44 Meta sports.
41:46 Meta sports.
41:48 So,
41:56 I'm a League of Legends player,
41:58 so, most of the time, I watch
42:00 the games of the competition
42:02 of esports, especially, I know
42:04 Taker. And, my character,
42:06 is a hardcore gamer who wants to win.
42:08 We know that Taker is like that.
42:10 So, he's one of my references.
42:12 Plus,
42:14 there's a meaning in the production
42:16 of the meta sports.
42:18 They teach us
42:20 what are our hand gestures
42:22 in the scenes.
42:24 Because, of course, we don't want to make mistakes.
42:26 They really remember.
42:34 Me?
42:36 Maybe...
42:38 Sorry, I'm just natural
42:50 because I'm thinking of what I'm going to answer.
42:52 Maybe, when I was young,
42:56 I really liked to play
42:58 computer games,
43:00 mobile games, Counter-Strike,
43:02 Special Force, Crossfire,
43:04 Left 4 Dead. I really played a lot of games.
43:06 And then,
43:08 when we shot the movie,
43:10 I was assigned to play
43:12 the role of a rescue.
43:14 At the same time, I was assigned to play
43:16 the role of a gunman.
43:18 So, it was easier for me.
