Vic Sotto rates Ryzza Mae Dizon’s acting
“Aktres talaga siya.”
This is how Vic Sotto rates “My Big Bossing” costar Ryzza Mae Dizon, who he says showed marked improvement since last year’s Metro Filmfest entry, “My Little Bossing,” where they also worked together.
“Dito sa “My Big Bossing,” dito mo makikita si Ryzza as an actress, not just an ordinary child actress. Actress talaga siya. Una sa lahat, tatlong roles ang ginampanan niya,” Vic added.
Ryzza had to learn new things for her different roles in the trilogy.
“Sa ‘Sirena,’ she had to learn how to scuba dive, swim like a dolphin, stay underwater for more than 20 seconds. Pagdating sa “Taktak,” she has to learn how to dress like Nora Aunor sa “Himala.” Pagdating sa “Prinsesa,” kailangan prinsesa siya talaga. So doon mo makikita yung pagli-level up niya bilang artista,” Vic said.
Second take
He added that Ryzza often asks for a second take if she is not happy with her performance.
“Nanghingi ng take two kasi gusto niyang magpatulo ng luha. Kahit kay Marlon (Rivera, director of the ‘Taktak’ episode), naloka nga si Marlon sa kanya kasi pack-up na, mamaya-mamaya konti, nanghihingi ng take two. Gusto daw umiyak. Ganoon siya kaseryoso. Nakakatuwa.”
Still, Ryzza enjoys her work by playing around the set. Vic said Ryzza is like a mom to co-star and fellow child actor Alonzo Muhlach (Nino Muhlach’s son).
“Makikita mo na nag-eenjoy siya sa kanyang ginagawa. Iyon bang hindi trabaho ito eh, ‘I know what I’m doing, I know this is acting. But at the same time, we’re enjoying what we’re doing.’”
Vic’s praises touched Ryzza, who wants to be effective on screen by showing various emotions.
“Kasi gusto ko pong umiyak. Iniisip ko po na kapag umiyak ako, iiyak yung mga manunuod. Kapag po tumawa ako, matatawa din po sila.”
Motivation
The nine-year-old Ryzza added that she is not satisfied until she gets a ‘very good take.’
“Ayaw ng good take, gusto ko po very good take.”
How does she motivate herself?
“Iniisip ko po yung eksena, kunyari, sa “Prinsesa,” yung nawawala po ako, wala akong nanay, baboy lang ang nanay ko. Lahat po na-enjoy ko. Yung pinakagusto ko yung “Sirena” kasi nasa beach kami sa Batangas, sosyal. What a life, bakasyon-bakasyon kung may time,” Ryzza said.
Ryzza’s Christmas wish is to work in a movie with Vic next year.
“My Big Bossing,” which opens in cinemas on December 25, also stars Marian Rivera, Nikki Gil, Pauleen Luna, Ruby Rodriguez, Maricar de Mesa and Nino Muhlach.
