Critically-acclaimed director Joel Lamangan on Friday, March 11, disfavored his talents getting aroused for real during intimate scenes.
“Hindi uubra sa akin yun dahil mali iyon. Dapat hindi ginagawa ‘yon. Eh ba’t mo gagawin iyan? Porno ba ‘tong ginagawa natin? Hindi naman ah! Hindi dapat ganoon. Mali iyon, maling-mali,” he said during the virtual media conference for his latest project Moonlight Butterfly.
Lamangan stressed that there are certain things that actors should do and don’t do during sex scenes.
“May etiquette na tinatawag, may etiquette na sinusundan sa paggawa ng pelikula. Kapag ito ay ginagawa bilang pelikula, ‘wag na ‘wag mong totohanin lalung-lao na sa tinatawag nating ‘romansahan’ sa loob ng eksena. Hindi dapat totohanin.”
Luckily for the director, it never happened to him.
“Wala akong nakikitang nag-physically aroused yung gumagawa ng eksena. Wala pa akong nakikitang ganoon. Sa tagal ko na sa pelikula at marami na akong ginawa na ganitong uri na eksena, wala akong nakitang gano’n, wala akong naranasan na ganoon, wala.”
However, if he does see a talent of his be aroused, he will say: “Hoy! Maraming tao ang nakakita sa’yo! Hindi p’wedeng ganyan, ayusin natin. Ito ay sine lang, ito ay shooting lang. Hindi ito totohanang bagay. Hindi mo p’wedeng gawin ‘yan.”
Moonlight Butterfly is about Eunice, the hottest escort in Los Angeles, Pampanga. While supporting her family and her boyfriend Emilio, she met Elliot, an American who supported her financially.
The movie stars Albie Casiño, Kit Thompson, and Christine Bermas. It will be available for streaming on Vivamax starting March 18.
