At the media conference for ‘Lagaslas’ on February 6, newbie Viva artist VR (Victor Ronald) Relosa said he wanted to be known to viewers for his “palaban” or “go-getter” attitude.
Relosa said he wants people to see that he’s always ready to take on challenges in acting. He shared, “Para sa akin, ‘yung palaban, walang ina-atrasan. Hindi lang sa eksena mismo kung di ‘yung pag-gawa ng eksena mismo. Kasi may mga eksena kami dito na lalo na ‘yung kinunan sa falls, medyo hindi siya ganon ka-safe, kasi mukhang okay lang siya tignan sa camera, pero sa totoo lang hirap na hirap na kami doon … ‘Yun nga at walang arte.”
He then highlighted the memorable dramatic scenes featured in their sexy film. He explained, “… although sexy film ‘to, ‘yung iba kasi iniisip kapag sexy film more on pagpapa-sexy, kulang sa talent, kulang sa execution pero dito kasi, mayroon kasi ditong medyo mabigat na scene, may iyakan.”
As an actor who started in theater, Relosa talked about the differences between working on the stage and in front of the camera. He pointed out that by acting in theatre, one gets to express himself freely; you have the whole stage to do whatever acting requires of you. He said, “Pwede ka magkalat, pag nagkamali ka panindigan mo lang, madali icorrect. “
Acting on film however is quite different. He explained, “Sa film kasi kapag nagkamali ka, lahat uulit, so nandoon ‘yung pressure na kapag ginawa mo ‘yung eksena, gagawin mo siya ng best mo. Hindi ka magkakamali kapag pumasok ka sa camera, kailangan alam mo na gagawin mo, kasi kapag nagkamali ka, lahat kayo uulit. Madaming taong mapapagod.”
VR Relosa stars in the Vivamax film ‘Lagaslas’ with Manang Medina and features seasoned actors Julio Diaz, Rubi Rubi, and Arnold Reyes.
Directed by Christoper Novabos, ‘Lagaslas’ streams via Vivamax on February 17.
