00:00I believe that the question is inappropriate for the event, and also, I don't know what to say about it because...

00:09But if you look at it, I'll answer it directly because I know more about it.

00:17There's an incident where a friend of Bianca wants to have the same meeting with Mamagay.

00:23But earlier, the manager told me that that's not true.

00:28Although, it's true that there's an issue about the meeting, but it's not true that Mamagay wants to have it.

00:38Is this true?

00:42May I please speak directly?

00:48I am shocked by the question, but I would like to handle it as professional as possible.

00:57I believe that the question is inappropriate for the event, and also, I don't know what to say about it because...

01:08That is... I do not have any idea about that, and I'm worried about how people in this room might take it.

01:18Hearing it from a representative from the press.

01:21Yeah, but one thing after this, let's be clear.

01:25Because earlier, we also heard from Tracy.

01:28Because on Monday, there was a spread of vegetation.

01:32So, for me, it was three cigarettes.

01:35Then, I asked Tracy.

01:36Tracy herself said, that's not true.

01:39We're not equal.

01:40Yes, we requested that it should be a little bigger.

01:44So, it should be a little bigger.

01:46Excuse me.

01:47Apologies.

01:48I'm sorry.

01:49I would just like to clarify also that the opportunity to work with the superstar, with our national artist, is already a blessing.

01:59And it is an opportunity that I already knew that I would not miss.

02:04Being with her on set was a master class for me and was a dream I never thought I would achieve this early in my career.

02:12That's why being with you, Laura, that's already enough.

02:17As an actor, and the love that I have for my craft, and the respect that I have for myself and the industry,

02:25billing is not really, it's a bonus.

02:28It is something, I don't know, between, internally.

02:33But, this question is something that I am not aware about.

02:39And, it's just a bonus.

02:43It is a recognition as to how people see and respect the way I do my work.

02:49But, here in this movie, I waited a long time for it to be released because we all worked hard for it.

02:57And, a lot of people went through this movie.

03:00And, for it to be released and to be seen, especially for it to be the return of Laura Onor's movie, is all that matters.

03:07Thank you very much.

03:08Very well said.

03:09I think, again, I think it would be unfair.

03:13So, I think, the idea of billing with anyone, I think, in, for that matter, an artist,

03:21maybe they already know, because Bianca said,

03:24that Ms. Galit deserves all the rightful billing that she deserves,

03:29maybe that she is an icon in the industry.

03:31So, I don't think there will be a contest,

03:34that her billing is the billing that is appropriate for her,

03:38and for other artists who have a history as a performer.

03:42So, I don't know where it came from,

03:47but we, Ms. Galit, our producer, our co-designer, our co-star,

03:51we know where to put it,

03:53and for whom the right billing is appropriate.

03:56Because, I am also a film director,

03:58and I don't like it when, of course, there is an unfair or wrong billing.

04:04So, whatever you see, I think, that is the right thing to do.

04:09Yes.

04:10Thank you very much.
