ANDREW E.’s Original Song: A Hit TikTok Trend Is Now A Vivamax Original Movie

 

ANDREW E.’s 18 years ago original song that has turned into a hit TikTok trend is now a Vivamax original movie.

Shoot! Shoot!: Di Ko Siya Titigilan! is the latest movie collaboration of comedy director Al Tantay and the ultimate pakboy, Andrew E., together with Vivamax Goddesses AJ Raval and Sunshine Guimary.

ANDREW E.

Shoot! Shoot! is about Jack (Andrew E.), a small-town guy whose ultimate dream is to become an actor. After countless auditions, Jack finally gets chosen to play the role of an heir to his wealthy relative. While rehearsing his lines, his neighbor hears him talking about inheriting 100 billion dollars. Jack’s misadventures start when word spreads around town that he’s now a billionaire. He suddenly gets lucky with girls who just want his “money,” but he also gets in trouble with the wrong people.

Since the movie is related about million or billion, Andrew was asked about his memories on earning his first million in showbiz industry.

 

AJ & ANDREW

According to actor/rapper: “Napakasariwa pa ng day and age na alaala ko na nakatikim ako ng first million sa mga palad ko, I was 23 years old, the year was 1991. 

“It came from my second contract with Viva Films, noong ginawa ko ‘yun ‘Alabang Girls’, yun ang aking first million.

“What I did was, and I still remembered, trineat ko ang sarili ko at pamilya sa isang mamahaling restaurant to celebrate.

“Tapos ni-relocate ko ang family ko matapos ko makabili ng lupa at nagpagawa ng bahay, yun agad ang ginawa ko.  Hindi ako nagbuhay artista.

“Sinecure ko agad ang bahay ko, para sa akin ‘yun ang unang-una na kailangan ko na magkaroon ng maayos na bahay, dahil galing din kami sa barong-barong.”

SUNSHINE & ANDREW

The Ultimate Pakboy added, “tungkol naman sa pakikitungo sa tao, hindi naman nagbago, dahil nadagdagan pa. Hindi pa man ako artista, ganun na ang pakikitungo ko sa kapwa.

“Kaya noong nag-artista na ako, lalo pang gumana ang aking puso na lalong isipin at sabihin sa sarili ko na, ‘ang unang araw na sumikat ka, dapat tandaan mo na unang araw na rin na malalaos ka.’  Para sa susunod na araw alam mong I-appreciate sa buhay mo much more.”

After the success of Pakboys: Takusa and Sanggano, Sanggago’t Sanggwapo, director Al Tantay is back with Shoot! Shoot! for another sure-hit comedy film. With 6.5 million trailer views in just 48 hours, Shoot! Shoot! is definitely one of the most anticipated movies this year.

Shoot! Shoot! sticks to the classic 90s comedy film style of slapstick and sexy comedy, making it nostalgic for viewers who grew up watching movies in that decade. But they also combined it with funny puns and one-hit liners that this generation loves.

Young or old, it’s definitely going to be a laugh trip, so don’t miss Shoot! Shoot!: Di Ko Siya Titigilan! on October 8 streaming on Vivamax Philippines, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan, Brunei, Macao, Vietnam, Maldives, Australia, New Zealand, Middle East (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain & Qatar) and Europe.
