malamang ang viva nag proproduce sila na di puro pabebe at movies na kinapupulutan ng aral eme of palaginv pamilya theme. They need movies about reality.
5:11 duh ka rin. Viva kaya ang unang sumugal sa kanya. Remember Joyce Jimenez, Albert Martinez and Ekis of Sunshine Cruz? Latter na yung sinasamba mong SC. Kalokang fantard😭
Yes, there should be growth in terms of quality and story of movies produced but knowing the Filipino masa audience they still gravitate towards cheesy rom-com and melodramatic plots. Even Regal keeps on producing their Mano Pos and Shake Rattle & Roll. Also, Erik Matti should check movies released on iwanTFC. There are a lot of quality films and series there not released into mainstream. Maybe he isn't aware of the said streaming platform. Only those who have access to Netflix, HBO, Hulu, Apple & other international streaming are exposed to quality and fresh content while the masa who is the majority of the market still prefers their old movie formula.
Agree ako rito. I'm taking playwright class in school right now and yung prof and classmates ko award winners sa literary contests on stage play pero they tend to write cheesy rom-com for tv networks and films. Dahil talaga yon sa masa. Rare na kakagatin ng masa 'yong gut-wrenching brutally honest type of films kaya ang kinoconsider ng Star Cinema ay rom-coms at family-oriented films. Iba ang target audience nila for SC. I think kaya nga nagdeviate ang iWantfc (na may good quality heavy series/films) and Black Sheep (under ng SC and semi-indie) kasi they can target a different kind of audience. The Philippine cinema landscape is still growing pero kinoconsider pa rin ang target audience.
It's the media's job to shape the way people think though, and they've been neglecting that job for a while now. Kasalanan din ng media, not just the masses. They can make people consume better content if they put some effort into marketing it, but they don't really want to do that cause ang focus nila is to maximize profit while spending as little as possible. Hindi 100% na magandang example sa context ng pag elevate ng content for the masses but in terms of marketing something that doesn't seem to have value, I think safe to say na magandang example ang mga kpop entertainment companies. Just look at how they've managed to promote yung physical albums ng mga idols nila. CDs are almost obsolete to the point na kailangan mo ng separate na equipment to play it...and sa age ng smartphones qt streaming, who wants to have a bulky CD player lying around? Yet, kpop fans buy these physical albums without hesitation kahit available sa streaming apps yung music ng idols nila, cause the companies make the albums so attractive to the buyer by including different versions ng mga photobooks, posters, stickers, sleek packaging, etc. compared sa mga CDs ng western artists encased in clear cheap plastic. Kpop/western albums could equally be trash or equally be great in terms of content but sa appearance alone, I think the average person would choose to spend their money sa bagay na maganda ang pagkakapresent. My point is, the movie industry is capable of promoting these movies na sinasabi nilang ayaw ng masa dahil depressing or complicated by marketing it in creative ways, but they'd rather not do that since kumikita naman sila sa romcom which I imagine na mura at less time consuming na i-produce compared sa ibang genre na could possibly provide a more enriching experience pero mas maraming manpower, oras, at pera na kailangang gastusin.
You don’t see that as a problem??? SC and the entire industry can mold and shape the taste of the masses. That’s a fact. It’s just that they won’t because it’s a loss sa una and they are not capable of thinking about sa future. They are way too greedy to take that risk.
It’s either that or SC needs to clean house and hire actual capable writers and producers. Baka nepotism lang alam jan kahit walang talent, ipipilit.
New blood kelengan jan. Marami sa mga indie and small networks na unique storylines, pero you know these people won’t be given a chance in SC and other big companies.
Let’s face it, our movie industry is shit. We have no right to criticize others kasi tayo ang pinag-iwanan. The more these egotistic, entitled, ‘leaders’ of the industry think they are high and mighty, the more they are pulling away their audience.
I don’t watch any local productions anymore. They are shit, because talent and vision aren’t rewarded.
I really don’t care if ABS comes back or not. Their production have all been shitty. Hindi kawalan to be honest.
Bakit star cinema lang? Why not the whole movie industry? Viva, Regal, gma films bakit ayaw? Star cinema has always been mainstream, kita ang focus nila
What's with this guy's bitterness towards star cinema? Why single out a film company that's been known for decades for producing films for easy consumption? Si Lav Diaz nga na mas critically acclaimed eh walang ganitong hanash against mainstream. Matti's recent films are also awful, including that much hyped OTJ 2. Btw, if you have 4 hrs to spare and you wanna see a "good" pinoy film go see Norte, Hangganan ng Kasaysayan. Superb in all aspects. 👍
Mga 90s to 2000s, magaganda naman mga movies nang Star Cinema. At believable naman kung box office hit. But when Kathniel and Vice ganda movies came along, hindi na talaga tolerable panoorin, and magugulat ka na lang na kumikita daw, kahit di naman pinag uusapan.
12:45 malaki na nga ang nag improve. Have you watched those made in the 60s and 70s sobrang sama. Yun mga artista karamihan, walang dating. Even yun Sampaguita and LVN though the latter made better movies. Maganda lang yun mga artista but the casting and production designs were so n so. And they didn't have acting workshops. Kaya noon, bakya ang manood ng local films. It only started to improve because of Lino Brocka and Co.
True ka dyan baks 12:45, pero why single out SC? May mga mas malala pa na gawa ang ibang film companies sa Pinas kung tutuusin mas may de kalidad na nga pag gawang SC kumpara sa iba. He should have addressed the whole industry di yung isa lang.
8:11 Are we living on the same era? Because as I remember, meron na Lamberto Avellana, Manuel Conde, Gerry de Leon, Jose Nepomuceno na gumagawa ng de kalidad na movies at may international audience at accolades pa. Walang dating mga artista? Then sino sina Amalia Fuentes, Susan Roces, Charito Solis, etc na at some point, muntik nang magkaroon ng Hollywood career? Si Amalia na kinikilalang Most Beautiful Actress in Asia. Mataas pa respeto sa atin ng Hollywood community sa film industry natin at that time at kaya pa natin magcompete sa other Asian countries in film output. Uso pa noon mga comedies na may sense at sophistication. Dont compare movies of today to the movies of that era na kung saan pati A crowd nakipagcompete pa sa mass crowd movie audience.😭😢
8:11. How dare you compare the movies now from the 60s to the 70s. Kahit na ba Sampaguita pa yan, mas gustuhin ko na mga artista noon maski black and white lang ang mga movies, kesa sa mga immoral at retokadang mga artista ngayon. Naging tisay lang due to gluta. Simple scripts before are much better than the usual nonsense, LT pabebe scripts nowadays.
Actually, sometime the production company gusto talagang mag experiment. Ang problem ang Audience, maraming produce ang Abs na movie indie kso hind tangap ng tao. Kaya nga may cinema one festival, they encourage them to create New ideas..hindi kinakagat mg masa.
Kala ko ba magaling sa PR ang ABS? Mga nakakairitang loveteams at plain jane looking na mga artista, masyado nga silang invested and energized sa pagpromote😢
True naman na dapat nanonood ng relevant films to raise awareness. But remember that entertainment is also an escape out of reality. Minsan after a stressful day gusto ko na lang manood ng sitcom or kvariety. Once in a while lang siguro ako manood ng ganitong movie.
Pare pareho naman kayong lahat. Ang dudugyot ng mga pelikula niyo. Literal talaga. Ang dudugyot. Puro nasa squatter yung plot. Mga kwento niyo paulit ulit. Drugs, korapsiyon, kapokpokan, simpleng love story. May mga horror ding di naman nakakatakot. Laliman niyo yung kwento niyo para mainteres kami. Lagyan niyo ng mga twists na maiinteres ang parehong masa viewers at critics. Jusko
sa tingin ko kaya na single out nya ang star cinema kasi yung production company ang pinaka sikat in the mainstream films. Kunbaga kung marining ang star cinema yun ang papanoorin ng masa.
netflix man o hindi, business talaga ang film making. kung art, ok lang. pero kung business, hindi talaga uubra. expenses ng employees. or else gutom po.
it’s all about the consumer, malamang kung ano gusto ng producer yun ang produce nila... meron dn naman silang para sa mga movie connoisseurs kuno at mga deep na movies😂🤣but personally ayoko mga ganyan.. life is hard na nga as it is manonood pa ako ng mabigat at iisipin ko pa na palabas😂🤣
The masses gravitates toward cheesey films because it's what film producers make. Yun na nakasanayan ng mga tao from the start. May gumagawa pa dn kasi
To be fair kung capable ang media to systematically dumb down the masses, I have no doubt na kaya din nilang mageducate at mag enrich, pero masyadong greedy ang mga entertainment corporations for this to happen. Sa ibang bansa may checks and balances pa rin somehow cause hindi ipinagtatanggol ng mga tao yung mga media corporations na parang pinapasahod sila unlike sa atin na yung audiences mismo ang nagagalit when people call out media outlets for putting out trash content lololol. Dapat naman talaga may discourse between sa mga creators at sa mga media companies at tama lang naman for creatives to fight for and stand by making content that they could be proud of. I mean, people are not saying to stop consuming lighthearted content, ang gusto lang nung mga nagdedemand is for some quality control.
I'm not sure how good yun mga recent movies ng star cinema, since matagal na rin ako hindi nakakapanood ng local movies. But ang lagi kong natatandaan basta star cinema is, "Sarah, Ang Munting Prinsesa", "Madrasta", "Anak", "Tanging Yaman","Ama, Ina, Anak", "Maalaala Mo Kaya", which are pretty good movies.
Mga magaganda yan that time. Pero di na kasi nagimprove quality, editing, cinematography, etc. At lately puros romcom. Yung storytelling/plot, linear lang-boy meets girl, conflict, end. Pero to be fair, hindi lang naman SC ang ganyan.
He is right though. Pinas showbiz is all about recycled low quality garbash nonsense tv shows and movies. They haven’t done anything good or fresh for fifty years or so.
Pwede ba dorek hayaan niyo na ang Star Cinema at ginagamit mo lang sila para mapromote ang movie mo. Doon ka magconcentrate sa partnership mo with Regal. Sila paringgan or sabihan mo.
Ano ang context ng hanash nya? Curious lang ako.
ReplyDeleteits not hanash though tama naman na di na relevant mga pinapalabas nila
DeleteIsa na sya sa kailangan mag-grow
Delete9:39 sure ka si erik matti sinasabihan mo maggrow??
DeleteIsama mo narin ang Viva dahil nakakaloka ang mga palabas nila ngayon sa Vivamax
ReplyDeleteDirek, looks like Hollywood propaganda to me. Voir in a nutshell, the movies is the greatest invention since sliced bread.
ReplyDeleteDid you watch
DeleteWhy call out SC specifically instead the whole industry as a whole?
ReplyDeletemalamang ang viva nag proproduce sila na di puro pabebe at movies na kinapupulutan ng aral eme of palaginv pamilya theme. They need movies about reality.
Delete1233 like un movie nina ion at tsaka nina andrew e, dennis at janno lol oh okay pala ang viva eheheh
DeleteVivamax says otherwise.
DeleteSimple, because star cinema leading with big earning movies sa atin, and sila nag trend set. Kaso nga mga pinoy mga pabebe and love story lagi trip.
DeleteWorldclass daw kasi sila direk....yuck nakakahiya. Makinig kayo magaling na director na pumuna sa inyo🤭
ReplyDeletematti magaling? sows pancit!
DeleteHahaha sobrang nakakahiya naman sa Gagamboy na super world class. Makinig daw kayo sa kanya! HAHAHAAHA
Delete12:23 duh SC nga ang sumusugal sa movies ni direk. Sila nagcocoproduce.

ReplyDelete12:41 Sobrang taas ng tingin sa sarili.
DeleteIt amazes me na you just answered your own question but you do not even realize it.
DeleteBakit nman Sc lang eh halos nman lahat ng moviemaker sa Pinas pitopito ang gawa? Lol
ReplyDeletePero at least, kumikita yung sa SC. Yung others waley talaga hahaha
Delete1024 at dahil din sa Sc movie kaya I stop watching Pinoy movies. Lol, di worth sa time. 😂
Delete4:14 Di ka naman daw kawalan sabi ng SC :)

Deletekailangan talaga mag name drop ng movie producer, as if lahat naman ng gawa niya magaganda. sobrang bilib sa sarili itong director na ito.
ReplyDeleteMay movie ba yan kaya nag iingay na naman?
ReplyDeleteAminin na natin. Karamihan ng mga filipino movies mababaw ang story plot at recycled concept. Kailangan talaga mag innovate ng filipino film industry.
ReplyDeleteIt is what the masses watch. Yun mga film with quality hindi kumita.
