RECORD TV AND THE ‘GENESIS’ SUCCESS By Sebastián Amoroso
@sebamoroso
The Brazilian giant continues to expand its successful Biblical productions universe with its new telenovela, one of its most ambitious productions to date, which will make its official debut at Mipcom 2021.

Genesis Drama
O
ne of the most anticipated products in the international market is ‘Genesis’, Record TV’s new super production, which expands the highly demanded universe of biblical dramas created by the Brazilian giant.
ttv Magazine / Dramas
In the following interview with ttv, Delmar Andrade, Director of International Sales at Record TV, shares details about this production made and released during the pandemic, his expectations in terms of international distribution following its presentation at Mipcom 2021, as well as his vision of the television industry in the new normal.

How has this time been for Record TV? This time has been the most difficult for global TV, but in Brazil the problem is much bigger, because we are a territory with more than 200 million people. So, although the pandemic really affected us, we had the opportunity to be the first TV in Latin America to premiere a telenovela during the pandemic. We are producing the telenovela ‘Genesis’, which we started exactly in the middle of the pandemic. All Brazilian TV channels are offering older titles.
The production of ‘Genesis’ in this context has not been easy at all… The effort was tremendous. The concern for the cameramen and actors was major. Everything had to be under close supervision. We released ‘Genesis’ with an average of 19 rating points and peaks of 25. It was something incredible for us. Its premiere at the end of January is considered the best in recent years for the channel. Filming was done during the pandemic, then suspended and picked up again. They were suspended many times.
the pandemic we were in Morocco and suddenly we had an order from the Moroccan government to withdraw the production team, canceling all production.
Like other Biblical super productions by Record TV, it was being recorded in Morocco. What happened when production came to a halt? For three months prior to
Production had to be reformulated then… Yes. Today we are only filming in Brazil, but a large part of our productions were made in Canada, Morocco, the United States and Israel.
In Morocco there were 45 Brazilians who did not have the conditions to return to Brazil because the flights from Casablanca to Brazil were interrupted. We had to have an exclusive plane for our team to return to our country. It was something we could never have imagined.
With ‘Genesis’ we are talking about a story that continues to expand the biblical universe of large-scale, budget-friendly Record TV super productions… To give you an idea of numbers: more than 250 actors, 8,500 extras and 140 stuntmen. About 300 professionals in the production area, in addition to generating about 800 direct jobs.
ginning, in an extremely simple way, so that everyone can understand who Abram or Joseph were; and how the world was disrupted with the introduction of evil. They are things that people often do not access. We are presenting the world market with a product that, in addition to entertaining and generating empathy, is clearly informing how the Bible works. It is an extremely well made product, without ideology. We do not offer a biased or religious biblical story; it is a true and clear story.
We also created a set in our studios in Brazil with 16 large buildings, with a total of 11,000m2 of built area. ‘Genesis’ is the largest production that Record TV is presenting to the world. Not even ‘Moses and the 10 commandments,’ which was a great production that we filmed in three countries, reaches this new standard.
Delmar Andrade,
International Sales Director, Record TV
So this new one joins a list of how many Biblical productions? We have about 16 Biblical series. How do you see the television market in this context? The market is exhausted. There was a small part of our clients who had difficulties and we were extremely supportive. But the reason why we cannot say that 2020 was a tragic year, although it was extremely difficult, has been because of the union of producers and clients, which is the only way we can move forward. We have had to protect our customers, in the same way that they help us by buying our product. At Record TV we have an extremely broad vision of the market, which is why we are sacrificing at this moment so that the market has a new product, because the market needs to have new products as quickly as possible. Our concern was to have a new telenovela, because everyone was doing reruns.
How is it being presented to the international market? We have been in very direct contact with our clients for more than 15 years. They are all getting information, videos and updates on ‘Genesis’ and, we are preparing a great package to offer the market. I think it is essential to return to the face-toface events. It is necessary to have physical

We cannot throw away the last 60 years of the market for a sale of rights by video conference. Tradeshows are necessary. In those events you can connect with people, you receive and offer new ideas. It is extremely important that we bring them back, but for that we need to have safety and health.
a safe harbor where the person can become aware of history and understand that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We work according to the market. The product is supported by advertisers. Initially, the telenovela was designed to have 100 episodes, but 150 are already confirmed to be produced, and we will possibly go up to 180.
We believe that the Mipcom event may be a bit complicated, because we do not know what Europe is going to require for us to travel there. That side of it depends on the governments and that could create some obstacles. Maybe young buyers can get the vaccine in 2022. However, we will be at Mipcom offering our products.
A message for the industry? Everyone knows that we always offer something new. Sure, we also work with our catalog, but this year is not going to be any different. We will be one of the few who had the determination to carry a product filmed in a pandemic.
What would you highlight about ‘Genesis’ as a television product? I think ‘Genesis’ offers the international market something that’s never been seen at this level. We are telling the stories in the Bible from the be-
“It is an extremely well made product, without ideology.”
ttv Magazine / Dramas
Record TV’s biblical product has also reached streaming platforms. The digital market is in a phase of amplitude, growing every day. It’s the future, but still the broadcast TV market controls more than twice the market. But of course, many are exhibiting our products. We have had growth in digital sales.
It is a television product that - in addition to its formal quality - comes at a time where uncertainty would seem to make it necessary... It is the purpose of this production: in addition to entertaining, creating

SPAIN’S “TURKISH BOOM” IN NUMBERS Consultancy firm Dos30’ presented a report about the growth of Turkish fiction in Spain: between 2018 and 2020, Turkish dramas increased their presence on Spanish TV almost sevenfold. By ttvnews
I
n January 2018 and after several years of success in Latin America, Atresmedia’s Nova decided to premiere a Turkish drama for the first time in Spain: ‘Fatmagül’. And the results were unprecedented. With a 4.1% share and 744,000 viewers on average, ‘Fatmagül’ that year became the most watched series in the history of the channel.
Since then, Turkish dramas haven’t stopped growing with multiple premieres on Nova, then Divinity and later on Antena 3 and Telecinco themselves. But to understand the magnitude of the phenomenon, consultancy firm Dos30’ revealed an investigation on the growth of Turkish fiction in Spain. As per the headline, Turkish dramas went from accounting for 491 hours of programming in 2018 to 3,286 hours in 2020. Almost seven times more. On Nova, for example, Turkey went from being the third content provider in 2018 to the first and by far in 2021. Mexico and the US were the great displaced. Something similar happened on Divinity. From being a marginal content provider in 2018, Turkey is already the second by far in 2021.

The big difference between the two channels specialized in telenovelas was that while Nova opted for dramas, Divinty did it mostly for romantic comedies. And the results were mixed. Even so, Turkey has managed to displace Spanish and Brazilian content from the Divinity screen and has reduced the number of hours from US content.

And the phenomenon is now shifting to the main networks from both groups. Once again Atresmedia led the strategy with the premiere of Woman on its screen and, later, with that of My daughter, which is already the most watched Turkish series to date and is also the most watched overall television series of the 2020/21 season.

Bitter Lands Inter Medya
ATRESMEDIA SUCCEEDS WITH NEW TURKISH PREMIERES ON ANTENA 3 Antena 3, with ‘Mujer’ (‘Woman’, Calinos), and the response from the audience was overwhelming. The trend continued with ‘Mi hija’ (‘My Little Girl’, Madd Entertainment), another huge success, and last July Antena 3 premiered two other
Turkish series: on the 4th, ‘Tierra Amarga’ (‘Bitter Lands’, Inter Medya) the first to premiere in the afternoon, and on the 22nd was the debut of ‘Inocentes’ (‘Innocents’, Mistco) in prime time. And since then, both have consistently led their slots.
Atresmedia backs its bet and says that it is in no case harmful to national production: “Turkish fiction is replacing other people’s production that we had from other countries. We are replacing British, French or American fiction
with Turkish,” José Antón explained to ttv. Thus, the group has already announced the fifth Turkish title that will come to Antena 3: ‘Infiel’ (‘A Woman Scorned’), the adaptation of ‘Doctor Foster’, distributed by Madd Entertainment.

Since ‘Fatmagül’ premiered on Nova in January 2018, Atresmedia not only hasn’t stopped its commitment to Turkish dramas, but rather doubled down. The biggest test was the jump from its feminine thematic channel to its main channel

TELEVISA AND THE NEW “ANTHOLOGY TELENOVELA” By Sebastián Amoroso
@sebamoroso
samoroso@todotv.tv
Rosy Ocampo, executive producer at Televisa, spoke to ttv about the great performance of ‘Vencer al pasado’, the third installment of the successful franchise by Las Estrellas which addresses and showcases problems in contemporary society.
I
n recent times, Televisa has been betting on creating new telenovela formats, with contemporary characters and themes designed to meet audiences’ demands, in this case, for the Las Estrellas network. The anthology telenovela franchise ‘Vencer’, created by executive producer and showrunner Rosy Ocampo for the network’s prime time, is a clear example of where the Mexican giant is focusing its drama production strategy.
ttv Magazine / Dramas
In a dialogue with ttv, Rosy Ocampo shared details about what it takes to develop this successful francise, as well as Televisa’s commitment to addressing and showcasing the problems that contemporary society is going through . How has the performance of ‘Vencer el miedo’ been to date? We premiered it on July 12 at 8:30 p.m. and it airs from Monday to Friday. We are seeing excellent numbers, even 15% higher than the previous product that aired at the same time.

Televisa has always focused on the classic telenovela. How do you define a franchise as ‘Vencer’? ‘Vencer’ is a new, different format. Televisa has always sought to innovate. The telenovela genre is the most important that is produced within Televisa. We have
been producing it for 60 years and it has always been in evolution. At some point it was thought that it was in disuse, that it was an ancient genre. But, on the contrary, it is a living genre that from the beginning has been transforming according to the needs of the audience.
Melodrama is a mirror in which audiences can see themselves. They identify with the characters and even like them a lot because it is a hopeful vision. For many years we had this type of classic telenovela, with stereotypical characters, very exacerbated performances, always the fight of good against evil, and the search for love as the main goal. However, this has been transformed. 30 years ago we started producing by subgenres. We had the children’s telenovela, for example, and important actors such as Belinda or Diego Boneta emerged from those telenovelas. Also specific telenovelas for women with new stories. Now we are with a different format. What are the characteristics of this format? We have called it an “anthology telenovela”, because it is a format in which each telenovela can have 80-85 episodes. They fall under an umbrella that we have called ‘Vencer’. The first was ‘Vencer el miedo,’ which premiered in 2020, and the second was ‘Vencer el desamor,’ which we had in March of this year. The third installment now is ‘Vencer el pasado’. The characters are four women, but different from those of the previous installments. Why women? Because we know that the large audience of broadcast TV is female, especially women aged 40-45 who are the ones who pull the community to watch broadcast TV. And that is what we are taking advantage of. So, they are women of different ages, with very different conflicts and challenges that they have to overcome. For example, in ‘Vencer el desamor’, we talked about situ-
“We have called it an anthology telenovela, because it is a format in which each telenovela can have 80-85 episodes.”
“There is attention to detail put into the script. Various revisions are made, up to six versions of each one.”
Vencer el miedo Televisa
ations that had to do with heartbreak. A young widow, an empty nest, an infidelity and a teenage pregnancy. In the case of ‘Vencer el pasado’, the theme has to do with the digital lynching that is currently very much in force in Mexico.
We are very aware of the issues that afflict our society, with a view to Mexico and the US, because our products are broadcast on both Televisa and Univision. We transform these themes into stories. In Mexico, violence against women is terrible. Two out of every three women are raped from the age of 15. Physical, sexual violence, excites. And ‘Vencer’ has to do with that. The actor at the end of the episode makes an ep-
The head of writers is Pedro Armando Rodríguez. And in fact it is a rigorous and systematic work, where we choose which problem is to be treated. We partner with foundations that provide us with research tools to create the plots and characters, always trying to make it a very realistic telenovela and that you can see something that can serve you. In the case of ‘Vencer’, they are telenovelas that take place in the same universe... They are anthology telenovelas because they happen in the same place, in an urban area, in a neighborhood in Mexico City. And some characters migrate from one telenovela to another and lines intersect. We are now bringing in three characters from previous seasons. It is the same universe so the audience knows the type of story they are going to see. However, the idea is always to surprise them.
We use flashbacks and flashforwards. There is very careful attention to detail put into the script. Various revisions are made, up to six versions of the script. We are very happy because the audience results have been sensational. The telenovela ends in November. And the choice of the cast? We have a format made in such a way that we have lines for each age. From women that are 50 and up, 40, 30 and the youngest. We choose actresses who have a career that is complemented by young actresses, as well as a great cast. Part of the proposal is that audiences will always see very important actors and actresses, but also newcomers. They have also developed supplemental content. What is the goal? We have a whole digital line of content, which has to do with the information part, such as sexual prevention methods, for example. We have capsules, blogs and material that is produced simultaneously. We are very satisfied with the results.
ttv Magazine / Dramas
How is the writing team put together to create the stories? An important part of this format has to do with research. For me as a producer, the research part is important. Our literary team always goes hand in hand with a team of researchers.

ONCE WE WERE SIX (Telenovela - 50 x 60’) A classic of Brazilian literature, ‘Once We Were Six’ follows the drama and the story of overcoming of the Lemos family. Throughout the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, the matriarch Lola remains strong and full of hope, as she struggles to keep her home united and to care for her children, despite all the obstacles in life. A MOTHER´S LOVE (Telenovela - 115 x 60’) Lurdes is a mother of five who tirelessly seeks for Domenico, a child of hers who was sold by his own father 26 years ago; Thelma is an overprotective mother who finds out she has a terminal illness, and must race against time to make her dreams come true and prepare her son for a life without her presence; Vitória is a successful lawyer who sees the end of her marriage after countless failed attempts to have a baby and decides for adoption, but finds out she is pregnant during the process. In ‘A Mother’s Love’, the lives of these women are intertwined while they recognize themselves in the unconditional love provided by motherhood.
ALL ABOUT MARRIAGE (Drama - 45’) THREE SISTERS (Premium Drama) Published in 2018 and breaking sales records since the day it was published, İclal Aydın’s book “Three Sisters”, one of the trilogy book series, now brings its story from the pages to the screen. Once upon a time, three sisters lived in a cute house overlooking one of the lovely seas of a very beautiful and mysterious country. The names of these 3 sisters are Türkan, Dönüş and Derya.
