TALA SONG NI SARAH, 170 MILLION VIEWS NA SA YOUTUBE

Simula ng pandemic, naging tahimik ang kampo ni Sarah Geronimo sa paggawa ng anumang proyekto. Walang concert, walang serye at maging ang ASAP Natin 'To ay ‘inisnab’ ng Popstar Royalty.

Kaya naman laking-gulat ng mga Popsters noong inanunsiyo ng singer-actress ang tungkol sa latest project nitong Tala The Film Concert na magkakaroon ng world premiere sa streaming service na ktx.ph sa March 27, 2021 na ididirek ni Paul Basinillo.

No doubt, ang Tala ay isa sa mga phenomenal hit songs ni Sarah at ayon kay Paul, ang naturang kanta ang inspirasyon para gawin nila ang Tala The Film Concert.

Ayon sa director, "Tala The Film Concert is inspired by the success of Sarah through the years, especially ‘yung kanyang super viral hit song na Tala na isinulat ni Nica del Rosario na originally a slow to mid-tempo song.

"Then Sarah revised it to make the song danceable, and the rest is history. Currently, Tala has 170 million views already in YouTube," pahayag ni Paul sa Pep.ph kahapon (February 18).

Walang kumontra na Tala ang maging pamagat ng film concert ni Sarah dahil sa pag-asang ibinibigay at ibibigay nito sa mga tao, lalo na sa panahon ng coronavirus pandemic.

"Given the pandemic, we wanted to give a glimmer of hope to people that’s why we chose the title Tala, a shining star in the dark of the night na very appropriate sa atin ngayon, hindi lang bilang isang superstar but to be able to give quality entertainment to everyone.

"As the unique poster suggests, Sarah looks up to the universe because she represents a shining beacon of hope to everyone," sabi pa ni Paul.

Sa kasalukuyang banta ng COVID-19, maraming challenges ang pinagdaanan ng production staff ng Tala The Film Concert, lalo na sina Direk Paul at Sarah.

Pahayag pa ni Paul, "Napakahirap mag-produce ngayon especially ng isang concert. Unlike any other format, a concert relies on the success of the audience turnout.

"And since we are not yet allowed to have a physical audience in a venue, we had to work doubly hard to transcend the same experience to them by using the live band of Maestro Louie Ocampo and his team to accompany Sarah in her performance, and utilizing big production numbers by Teacher Georcelle and the uber talented G -Force Squad.

"We had to quarantine and do a lot of tests to be able to attend rehearsals and all physical meetings. The mask is a must, but it's really hard to breathe because we are always in the move.

"Mas mahirap ding magbigay ng cues due to the limitations and lastly, we work differently in the number of hours we render our work. Unlike before na unli lahat until matapos, now, we are only allowed to work twelve to fourteen hours," paliwanag pa ng direktor.

Kakaiba raw ang Tala The Film Concert, ayon kay Direk Paul.

"Tala, I would say is an online concert like we haven't seen before. We made it like it's an actual show meant for a live audience pero streamed siya sa ktx.ph.

"It has narrative as well that talks about Sarah’s journey and how we prepared for the show. The advantage is more people can get to watch it because of the worldwide premiere," pagtatapos ni Paul.
