The Juans on Dustin Yu and Bianca de Vera: 'They can do so much more.'
Pinoy Big Brother Celebrity Collab Edition ex-housemates Dustin Yu and Bianca de Vera are set to star in the upcoming music video of “Ngiti” by The Juans, the band revealed on Tuesday, April 15.
They are going to give life to the track through a short film directed by John Manalo.
In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, The Juans shared that Dustin and Bianca, collectively known as DustBia, have been their first choice to star in the music video. According to Carl and Japs, Dustin even posted on his Instagram account and used one of their tracks.
“Full-circle moment talaga that we get to have them. They were on top of mind when we were formulating the concept,” said Carl. “Times ten 'yung excitement namin to let people know na sila 'yung gaganap sa short film na 'to.”
In the same interview, Japs shared the meaning of “Ngiti.”
“Song siya about finding comfort sa mga maliliit na bagay. Halimbawa, may pinagdadaanan ka, minsan 'yung healing, hindi siya granted, e. Minsan unti-unti talaga siya na sa simpleng smile, nagkakaroon ka ng glimpse of hope at napapansin mo na nakaka-recover ka at nakakabangon ka,” he said.
According to Carl, Dustin and Bianca's artistry helped give new depth to the song's meaning.
“Binigyan talaga nila ng bagong buhay itong kanta na 'to. Excited kami sa story kasi this adds depth to the meaning of “Ngiti,” Carl told GMA Network. “We want to give them a story that will tell them na kahit ano pang pinagdadaanan mo, you will always find a reason to smile.”
The Juans also looked back on their shooting day with Dustin and Bianca, and recalled their humility and positive energy.
“Super smooth and super saya nilang ka-work. Noong time na nagkaroon kami ng chance na makapag-usap, alam mo 'yung feeling na nag-flow lang 'yung conversation, tapos very entertaining at friendly rin. Hindi mo mapi-feel sa kanila na sobrang sikat na nila, hindi mo mapi-feel na aloof sila sa mga tao. Talagang very friendly tapos tawanan lang kami nang tawanan,” said RJ.
RJ told GMA Network that, aside from their professionalism and positivity on set, the band really saw how Dustin and Bianca grew as actors, and that their artistry will be evident in the music video.
“Makikita mo 'yung growth nila as an actor and actress na hindi lang sila 'yung pangkilig,” RJ shared. “They can do so much more.”
The music video of “Ngiti” by The Juans, starring Dustin Yu and Bianca de Vera, comes out on April 25.
