The movie marks the return of Ai Ai to Viva Films where she made her early appearances while a struggling young actress. Since then she has become the country’s leading comedienne on television and on the big screen with landmark box-office hits like Ang Tanging Ina, Sisterakas, My Bebe Love and others. She ventured into a new side of the entertainment business early this year when she became the manager of Ex Battalion.
The Ai Ai and Ex B picture also marks the acting debuts of the members of this talented hip hop collective, which has introduced a new type of sound to the local rap scene. Being a collective means that all of the members are solo artists who can work together or on their own. It was formed by Bossx1ne six years ago and now includes the following rappers: Emcee Rhenn, King Badger, Skusta Clee, James Brando and Flow G.
Screen and television star Ai Ai de las Alas has agreed to top bill a movie for Viva Films and she has brought along as co-stars her hot hitmaking charges, the Ex Battalion. The film is set to start filming in July. It is written by Mel del Rosario and will be directed by Dado Lomibao. At the same time the members of Ex B will be getting ready for their first major concert to be produced by Viva.
Ex B broke into the big time with Need You two years ago. This was followed by Tell Me, and then No Games which brought the group into the top ten of the Philippine hit charts. Late in 2017, Ex Battalion released what would become their biggest hit to date, Hayaan Mo Sila. The number one seller which has dominated airplay, social media, streaming and downloading sites these past months is a soft, engaging rumination on living while surrounded by meddlers.
Watch out for this major motion picture event where Viva will bring together drama, comedy and the latest in Pinoy music. (30)
During the Blog Presscon of VIVAIEX
AI-AI DELAS ALAS :
Pinasok ko ang EXB sa VIVA hindi lang para sa Collaboration at Pelikula kung hindi pati din sa Endorsement at ipinahayag din ni Ai-Ai kung paano nga ba niya natagpuan ang EXB. Sinabi niya na 30 years na daw siya sa showbiz pero wala pa din siyang sumikat na kanta ang gusto or goal niya is makakuha ng Gold award, Inisip niya na kung paano sisikat ang kanta niya bigla daw sinabi ng Writer niya sa Bossing and I na na hanapin daw niya ang EXB at napagkamalan niya na Foreigner pa daw ang EXB kasi noong pinakinggan niya ang kanta nila parang tunog Foreigner daw sila.
Sa lahat daw ng nangyayari sa EXB is bago daw to sa kanila kailangan pa ng maraming time para ma-absorb ng EXB ang mga totoong nangyayari sa kanila kumbaga nangangapa pa talaga sila sa Showbiz, although na sikat na talaga sila. Natutuwa ako sa kanila kasi ang dami nilang Guesting, Endorsements at ito pa na upcoming Movie nila. Sinabi ko din sakanila na nasa showbiz na kayo kaya kahit konti lang tulog niyo or pahinga niyo kailangan niya gumising at mag-trabaho kaya ayun yung mga adjustment na dapat nila matutunan.
EXB:
Ipinahayag ng EXB na sobrang Thankful and Blessed sila sa mga nangyayari sa buhay nila hindi pa din daw sila makapaniwala na nangyayari to sakanila at sobrang grateful daw nila na si Ms Ai-Ai ang nag-manage sakanila dahil talagang tinuring daw nila na Nanay si Ms Ai-Ai. Sinabi din nila hindi to matutupad mga pangarap namin kung hindi kami pinasok ni sa VIVA.
Ibinahagi din ng EXB na wala naman daw silang nagaganap na Selosan sa isa`t isa kung sino ang mas malayo na ang nararating na Career kumbaga pantay-pantay lang daw silang lahat sa mga blessings and opportunities na dumadating sa kanila, Parang Magkakapatid na daw ang turingan nila.
