The gauge of good acting is based on the responses from the audience. When an actor plays the role of the maltreated lead and elicits sympathy from the public, then he/she achieved the ideal in acting. Similarly, contravidas are often assumed to be mean in real life. Often, the opposite is true, and a close and unguarded moment with an actor often exposes the true personality. This lesson was learned by one of the major anchors (MA) of a network.
Over time, MA was so impressed with Dramatic Performer (DP) that she instructed her staff to schedule him for an interview for her program. Based on the roles DP had portrayed in several of his hit dramas and the way he carries himself, MA assumed that he was as intelligent and profound as well. The staff paid DP a visit to set the interview. At the set, DP’s assistant received the questions for the interview and presented them to DP. The staff said they wanted to get a glimpse of the ordinary life of DP as well as his plans for his career as his teleserye was about to end. Follow up questions might be asked spontaneously, but since MA was not really known for stirring controversy, her line of questioning was deemed safe. The assistant returned, and said that DP was okay with the questions.
Just as when the staff thought everything would go smoothly, they were shocked with the next request. The assistant asked the staff to write the answers to their questions, so that these replies can be flashed on the teleprompter, and DP would just read them. The staff raised the point of spontaneity, as the interview was free-flowing. Besides, the answers should be from the point of view of DP, and DP’s natural reactions were important. The assistant then said that he would just be the one to write the answers, as DP will be tired to even think of his replies to the questions as he was shooting a big scene.
When MA found out what happened, she realized that DP was indeed a very good actor because he had managed to convince her that he was as intelligent as the characters he portrayed. Nonetheless, she kept poised and conducted the interview in her usual style, but this time, a teleprompter was behind her. When their cameras rolled, DP did his role quite well. He answered her questions convincingly, paused, and smiled every so often, as the non-verbal cues were also written on the teleprompter as well. However, MA could not feel the authenticity of DP throughout their interview, and she, too, had to act to hide her dismay at how DP opted to be interviewed.

yummy?
ReplyDeleteMay teleserye ba sya na about to end?
DeleteParang si yummy nga itech. Pero s totoo lng I don't find him intelligent. No offense s knya pero prang hndi din nmn ganun ang pinoproject nya. More on down to earth but not intelligent. Oh well mgaling nga cyang actor kso turn off ksi if true nga to since prang scripted din kbaitan and being down to earth ksi pti pgsmile scripted. Wtf.
DeleteAnuveeeeh, di naman ibig sabihin na current na current ang mga pangyayari na sinasabi ni FP sa BI. FP, puede po ba kayo mag tutor ng reading comprehension dito? My take on intelligence as an actor. I think when people in the industry describe an actor as intelligent ang ibig sabihin nun ay yung atake nya or pag portray nya sa character na pinoportray nya hindi kung ano talaga ang nilalaman ng utak nya. The MA should have been intelligent enough to know the boundaries and the limitations.
Deleteteh, wala naman syang teleserye ngayon noh
DeleteI dont si Yummy 'to, kasi tapos na yun show or yun teleserye nya d b? Si anon 12:44 naman wagas maka react eh di naman pala sure kung si Yummy nga ang nasa blind item. At lahat ng fans ay WALAng alam sa totoong pagkatao ng mga artista unless kasama mo sila sa bahay nyo.
DeleteGrabeng makareact si anon 12:44, hindi naman pala siya sure na si Yummy ang tinutukoy, take note 'teh, may papatapos bang show or teleserye si Yummy?......WALA d b?.....Wtf ka ngayon, LOL!
Deletepwede naman kasing nangyari ito bago natapos yung teleserye. hindi naman real time ang posts dito.
DeleteSi A to ng Ka-H dahil ang flop hserye nya is about to end na. At si MA ay si J na m. Haha
DeleteBaka nman si R to from umay serye
DeleteAnon 1:31Am di magpopost si FP ng ganyan kung hindi latest yan.. Dapat sinabi nya noon, pero wala naman. So ngayon yan. Si A yan ng Ka-H mukha nga syang intelehenteng tingnan kaya sya ang ginawang bida bilang J pero sa kasamaang palad nagkamali si J. Haha
Deletenaku naku naku
ReplyDeletemag-ingat na na kayong lahat...
Will the real DP please stand up!!
sayang siya, sobra
Sino yung nag interview?? DP is a giveaway. No wonder he was easily swayed to portray a character in an event that became controversial. Di pinag isipan, he doesnt have any opinion at all!
ReplyDeletetama ka, malaking B siya, hindi nga nag-iisip, tanggap lng ng tanggap!
DeleteDP= C
DeleteKorek! Di nya na gets significance ng pinagagawa sa kanya. Lagi nya ksama yung manager nya na taga coach sa kanya.

ReplyDeleteThis is the t queen from kaf! Well what do u expect from kaf! Again im so first honor again, medal, torch, crown and diploma please -Ekaterina Molavska
ReplyDeleteHim nga eh. so hindi siya queen
DeleteMukhang hindi si yammy coz his teleserye ended na diba? And ang sabi "Based on the roles DP had portrayed in several of his hit dramas and the way he carries himself, MA assumed that he was as intelligent and profound as well. " eh aminado naman si yammy na di siya gifted in that aspect although he is a deep actor.
ReplyDeleteThe interview was conducted when his teleserye was about to end. try natin magbasa minsan ha?
DeleteThe BI never stated that the teleserye already ended or is still running its final rolls of film. I think you are the one who needs to read and comprehend.
Delete"...had portrayed in several of his hit dramas"
Deleteano po ba pinaglalaban nyo?
"The staff said they wanted to get a glimpse of the ordinary life of DP as well as his plans for his career as his teleserye was about to end."
DeletePaki-explain yang line na yan, ANON 2:05 AM?
1:25, IKAW ANG MAGTRY MAGBASA ULIT. . . HA!

MA - J
DP-yummy C, MA-K
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is yummy...wala nmn xang soap na patapos at prang ndi nmn xa gumaganap ng tali-talinuhan...more clues please!
ReplyDeleteThe interview was conducted when the teleserye was about to end.
Deletethe one from KaH to KaF - leading man ni B
Delete"was" about to end nga, hindi naman "is" about to end. so it is safe to surmise that the teleserye had already ended. just my two cents worth. ✌️
DeleteS ba to?
ReplyDeleteGusto ko bigla mag-s, baka makita ko si DP doon....
ReplyDeleteParang bet ko uminom ng wayn.
ReplyDeleteNot yummy. The clues are totally not him. Wag tayong mag-base lang sa first letter please. :) hahaha
ReplyDeletewala akong napanood na interview recently ni yummy... pwedeng si T eto kasi may interview siya which revolves sa ordinary life niya sa isang show sa KaH. MA is j.. pero kasi nagend na rin yung teleserye niya e sabi sa clue about to end. HAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteat tingin mo ung ginawang interview kay T may dummy board? dialect nga nila ung salita nya eh,kaya hindi sya to.
Deletemga teh, di to si yummy noh. wala kaya syang teleserye ngayon!! and never did he project as someone smart on tv noh.
ReplyDelete"When an actor plays the role of the maltreated lead and elicits sympathy from the public, then he/she achieved the ideal in acting." O sige nga, sino sa mga LALAKENG bida of late ang api-apihan ang role?
DeleteSi C hahaha
DeleteSi papa lang ang alam kung dramatic performer na may about to end ang teleserye e.
ReplyDeletePush mo yang kashungahan mo..
Deletematalino si Papa tehhh, kaya niya mag memorize ng buong script. napanood nyo ba yung S na parang g siya? magaling ang memory nun.
DeleteI've seen Papa conduct interviews live and he is genuine and honest. No teleprompters needed.
DeleteFeeling ko si S. Yung may serye..sa u. :)
ReplyDelete"When an actor plays the role of the maltreated lead and elicits sympathy from the public, then he/she achieved the ideal in acting". O sige nga, sino ang pumapasok sa isip nyo when you read that line? Diba si Yummy nga? At wala namang sinabi na super-current ang interview. Ang sinabi, ginawa yung interview when his teleserye was about to end.
ReplyDeleteC
Deleteoo nga.. kung sa tagalog, noong magtatapos na.. so pwedeng tapos na ang serye niya pero ngayon lang naisulat ang BI.. si C din ang guess ko eh.
DeleteBAKIT? SA KAF LANG BA MAY GANUN KAGALING MAGPROJECT NA ACTOR? DI BA PWEDENG BAKA TAGA KAP OR KAS? PORKET THE WORD "CATCH" START WITH THE LETTER C EH SI YUMMY AGAD?!
Deletewag kang galit masyado anon 1:18 BI lang to at we are not curing cancer. naka- all caps ka pa?!
Delete1:18 Oo kaF lang may mga magagaling na actor eh. Duuhh??? Hahahaha
DeleteIn denial 1:18??
DeleteKailan pinalabas interview sa tv? Sino si MA?
ReplyDeleteKung may interview nga e sino nag-interview e wala namang pinalabas na interview nya (yummy) This not C! share the link of the interview
ReplyDeleteWell.. Kung si Yummy man to, he never said nor act like a Mr Know It All. It's MA's fault for assuming.
ReplyDeleteJusko nakakaloka yung mga ibang nagcocomment.. Kelangan pa ieexplain para lang maintindihan.. Ang sabi po ano.. Nung ginawa daw po yung interbyu.. Patapos na tele serye ni actor po.. Hinde naman po porket ngayon pinost ni FP yung BI.. Eh ngayong araw din po ngyari.. Ok na po ba? I kelangan pa ulit iexplain?!
ReplyDeleteYung ibang nagcomment dito nagbase lang sa initial ng word na "CATCH" na C eh si Yummy na daw kaagad, aber, anong teleserye ba ni yummy ang nalalapit ng matapos? . . .WALA!. . Kasi matagal ng tapos, kaya i think hindi si Yummy-C ang nasa blind item. . .still clueless.
ReplyDeleteJusko si C to no! Ewan ko hindi ako nagagalingan sa kanya. Turn off na pag nagsalita, imbes na maiyak ka, matatawa ka pa dahil sa speech problem nya
ReplyDeleteThat's way too offending with people who has speech defects. Tsk tsk
Deletenapakaperfect mo ba anon 7:57? at ganyan ka makalait? baklang laitera.
Deletenot yummy! as profound and intelligent as he portrays eh! anu ba, pwede pa si papa

ReplyDeleteHindi ko gets??? Sino si yummy at sino si C???
ReplyDeletehindi ba si R ito? ng umay serye?
ReplyDeletePang row100 ka beks. Haha
Deletehindi naman namaltrato sa umay serye si R
Deletec
ReplyDeleteSi DP- A ang may flop na h serye nya na magtatapos na. Haha Si MA- J Given ma given na ang clue noh! Hahahaha
ReplyDeleteAlam ko na!!!!!!!! Haha! Si C!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletecareful with your guesses, haha, I think this is R, kasi matalino yung mga roles niya and patapos na rin sa wakas yun serye nila di ba? Yung initial can be yung tawag sa kanya sa show..
ReplyDeleteparang sya nga
Deletehe's not a dramatic performer.
DeleteHaller! Hindi ito si R ng umay serye, kelan naging api ito sa drama nya! Ipilit ba!
DeleteDP - P na questionable ang pagka lalaki MA - K
ReplyDeleteUnang nasa isip ko eh si yummy. Pero kahit magaling syang actor, never na-portray sa isip ko na isa syang "intelligent and profound". Kabaliktaran pa nga eh. Tska more of down to earth ang pinoportray nya.
ReplyDeleteAng naiisip ko na "intelligent and profound" eh si P ng KaF at R ng KaH.
wrong lahat this is E nasa title ang clue
ReplyDelete"Thige na nga, ako na 'yan." - C
