MASAYANG nagkuwento si Arjo Atayde sa amin tungkol sa first taping day nila ni Judy Ann Santospara sa The Bagman.
“Wala, sumilip lang ako, nakatatawa ‘yun, silip lang naman ‘yung sa first day, tumatawang lahad sa amin ng Quezon City First District Congressman.
“But definitely we had crazy scenes together, kasi I’m not to tell you the scenes kasi nga baka masira ‘yung story, it’s for you to watch. But noong nag-cross naman kami, we had some scenes to play with, throw lines with, amazing!
“Of course, for me, it’s amazing, I’m very much…I very much appreciate her professionalism, the way she is, pagiging mabait as always, ever since I’ve known her.
“And yeah, it’s such an opportunity, and this is my dream, to be able to work with her.”
Sa tanong namin kung ano ang pinaka-memorable na eksena nila ni Judy Ann sa The Bagman…
“I think the whole experience,” pakli ni Arjo. “Besides that, bias aside, is ‘yung parang interrogation eh, playful interrogation scene.
“‘Yun lang naman, ayoko ng magkuwento ng iba kasi it might spoil a bit of the story.
“But definitely one of the interrogation scenes we had is one of the things that we enjoyed, kasi we got to play around with some certain beats and some certain things.
“So masaya po ako, I was given the opportunity to express that creativity in that box of interrogation, sabi ko nga, ‘Oh my God!’
“It’s a room of experience and again, even with Tito John and the rest of the cast as well.”
Kasama rin sa The Bagman ang beteranong aktor na si John Arcilla.
Idea ba ni Arjo na kunin si Judy Ann para sa The Bagman na ang isa sa mga producer ay ang Nathan Studios, Inc. na pag-aari ng kanilang pamilya, Atayde?
“No. I think siya naman po talaga ‘yung target when they were writing it,” lahad ni Arjo. “Kasi si direk Shugo naman, he writes, and then eventually, I don’t know, it’s for him to explain.
“Pero that’s what I know, pumapasok ‘yun sa utak niya somewhat kung sino, of course as an idea and of course, Ate Juday is Ate Juday, no other option, it was her and we’re glad it was her,” pagbabahagi pa ni Arjo.
Ang The Bagman ay sa panulat at direksiyon ni Shugo Praico.
Pagpapatuloy pa ni Arjo, “So I was given this opportunity, kasi obviously may kaunting conflict lang with nothing but schedule, so we’re very happy and I was so happy at the end last minute or so, we were able to adjust her schedule and she was able to commit to the show.
“So sobrang blessed.”
Gaganap si Juday bilang Presidente ng Pilipinas sa The Bagman.
“It’s a very nice character, very, very nice character.”
Katuwang ng Nathans Studios Inc. ang ABS-CBN International Productions, Dreamscape Entertainment, at Rein Entertainment.
