Candela is a television starbut its addiction alcohol and drugs They’re leading him to hit rock bottom. After performing a harrowing scene in the TV series ‘Talent’, where he served as a judge, the chain’s executives invite him to take a break to go to a detoxification center for the wealthy. However, since he cannot afford it, he signs a more modest series: Yeni Şafak, which gives its name to the series. Atresplayer premieres on Sunday the 10th of this month. after presenting it at the Malaga Festival this Friday. There, even if he doesn’t want to, he will find himself and give yourself another chance. This trip takes place between: acidic humor and real drama.
The idea of this fiction, consisting of eight 30-minute episodes, came to my mind. José Corbacho, Director of the films ‘Tapas’ and ‘Incidencias’ and ‘Balls’ series, When I went to visit a relative I went to one of these centers and immediately thought that this was the premise of a series. Especially when he sees one of the prisoners. “A girl in sweatpants and a cigarette told me she watched me on TV a lot, and I thought she looked like the Yolanda Ramos character. “And from there, I thought about what would happen if a ‘celebrity’ or Yolanda Ramos’ ‘alternate personality’ happened to happen to this story.”
TV as a breaker
And as a TV star she could do it talk about the world television, quite harshly, for example character crusher, He benefits from his experience in skills such as. ‘You are worth it’ and Masterchef. Although the series features Anne Igartiburu, La Terremoto de Alcorcón, and the realism in which she plays herself, she makes it clear that the story is not inspired by anyone in particular. “Television is a grind, yes, but as every industry should be, because society is a bit overwhelming, because everything moves so fast… In television, there used to be characters that lasted longer, now they are more complex,” Corbacho explains. He recalls that we were all happy to have so many chains and platforms to consume.
But the actor and director insists ‘A New Dawn’ is also talking about this addictions. To some substances, but also to work, to be knownto the success that occurred on television. “I wanted to talk about these two worlds: the world that is toxic in principle, like the detoxification center, but still healthier than we think. No matter how healthy the world of work seems, it’s still more toxic than we think. And personal life of this lady as a mother or as a daughter. “This whole mix leads us to this,” says the actor. “This happens in every business,” he says, “when you mobilize the masses, if you’re famous, you’re very famous, and if you’re corrupt, that happens too.” Toy, you are such a broken toy. “Unfortunately, that is the order of the day.”
Candela was Yolanda
The series came up with the idea that the former ‘Bake Off’ contestant would be Candela. For Corbacho it had to be him. “I wanted to explain this story in such a tone that goes through comedy“but without overdoing it, it’s about addictions, it’s about mental health, but we’re also very driven by the drama, and I wanted to do it without affecting the comedy, without emphasizing it, more than the facts.” And I knew I could play with it. However, although the actor was flattered, he found it very difficult. And it was difficult for him to accept the role: “It’s not that I feel respect, it’s I was afraid“, admits Ramos. “The audience’s funny On the road for another to whom he is accustomed and who is the meat of memes and who also has it breaks the soul” warns the director.
As for the difficulty of turning such sensitive topics into comedy, Corbacho doesn’t see it that way: “I try to make everything comedic. Not that it’s possible, human beings need to do comedy to survive. The nice thing about humor is that it’s human. And what really matters is that people have a good time. Moreover, I would rather make a mistake than a neurosurgeon makes a mistake,” he concludes.
