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, 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. We are still filming it. We are about 15 or 20 episodes ahead and the concern remains the same.
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 the pandemic we were in Morocco and su-
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.
ddenly we had an order from the Moroccan government to withdraw the production team, canceling all production. 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.
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.
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. 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. 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. 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
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

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. 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.
I think it is essential to return to the face-to-face events. It is necessary to have physical contact with the client. 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
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. 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 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 are between 15 and 20 episodes ahead. 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. 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.

LATIN AMERICA
TV FICTION IS BACK ON TRACK By Sebastián Amoroso
@sebamoroso
One year after the halt in production for TV fiction, broadcast networks across the region are starting to produce and premiere original productions again. Up next, we present a review of what has already made its way onto the TV screen and what’s in store for the year ahead.
Mi Vida sin Ti América TV (Peru)

fter all the uncertainty generated in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, slowly the production of fiction projects for prime time has been reactivated and the main broadcast TV networks in Latin America are launching their new titles, in some cases with reruns. One of the most prominent examples is ‘Genesis’, Record TV’s super biblical production, which had to suspend filming new episodes in 2020 and which in January of this year had its long-awaited premiere, managing to become the best debut for the Brazilian network in the last five years, with 15.7 rating points in São Paulo. Moreover, América TV in Peru premiered on March 1 the telenovela ‘Dos hermanas’, a Del Barrio Producciones production that had to be taken down from the air after eleven episodes, due to the start of the pandemic a year ago. Its re-release stands as one of the great fiction bets for Peru’s leading channel in 2021. The same happens with Globo in Brazil, which after almost a year away from broadcast TV, fiction returned on March 1 with the telenovela ‘Corazón de madre’. The production, written by Manuela Dias and under the artistic direction of José Luiz Villamarim, had its filming interrupted due to the pandemic at the beginning of March last year and its first part was broadcast throughout the year.
“Fiction production for prime time has been reactivated and the main broadcast TV networks in Latin America are launching their new titles.”
In addition, Polka in Argentina confirmed to ttv that it is already in the pre-production phase of a new prime time strip for El Trece, entitled ‘La 1 5/18’.
The renowned Argentine production company is thus betting on production again after almost a year when it suspended -and then

canceled- filming for the daily series ‘Separadas’ at the beginning of the pandemic. The new El Trece fiction will begin filming in April at locations in Villa 31 in Buenos Aires and, in sceneries mounted in the company’s Baires Studios. And in Colombia both Caracol Televisión and Canal RCN are also preparing their new fictions for 2021, which include premieres, new seasons and remakes. Caracol Televisión has already announced that the telenovelas ‘El hijo del cacique’ and ‘Los medallistas’, two new fiction projects that the channel is already working on. Meanwhile, Canal RCN is preparing new seasons for its original fictions ‘Pá quererte’ and ‘Enfermeras’, as well as filming the remake of the telenovela ‘Café con aroma de mujer’, a classic of the Latin American genre.
Televisa, on the other hand, was one of the first television networks in the region to film new stories in 2020. By June of last year it had managed to return to the sets. Its first pandemic production was ‘La mexicana y el güero’, under strict security measures. Now, the Mexican network is already working on the adaptation of the Colombian telenovela ‘La dama de Troya’, which will be titled ‘La desalmada’. The premiere is scheduled for the second half of 2021.

Over in Chile fictions are also returning to prime time on local TV: Mega has already successfully premiered the comedy ‘Edificio Corona’ -inspired by the pandemic-, and is preparing the arrival of ‘Demente’, its long-awaited nighttime television series.

DEL BARRIO FILMS IN A PANDEMIC Hugo Coya, General Manager of Del Barrio Producciones
Peruvian producer Del Barrio Producciones has just re-released the telenovela ‘Dos hermanas’, which had been taken off the air after its 11th episode when the pandemic went global in March of 2020. By Sebastián Amoroso

el Barrio Producciones has been one of the few independent producers in Latin America which continued to develop its fiction lineup during the pandemic. During 2020, the Peruvian production company premiered the fictions ‘Mi vida sin ti’ and ‘La otra orilla’ on América TV and, on March 1, it released ‘Dos hermanas’, the telenovela that had been taken off the air after its 11th episode aired in March of last year and now had its long-awaited return. In dialogue with ttv, Hugo Coya, general manager of Del Barrio Producciones, spoke about the production company’s new initiatives, the experience of filming in a pandemic and the new fiction titles for America TV’s prime time. I imagine the company was excited about the broadcast of ‘Dos hermanas’ on América TV… A year has passed since we suspended all filming as a result of the health crisis. We were somewhat afraid, because although we are perhaps one of the few production companies in Latin America that has continued to produce during the crisis, since
“We are perhaps one of the few producers in Latin America that has continued to produce during the crisis.” we restarted operations in June, luckily we have not had a single case of contagion in our productions.

How has the relationship with América TV been during this time? We have just renewed the five-year exclusive contract with América TV. We are very excited. América TV, in addition to being the leading channel, has a relationship with us that has grown over time. We have had prime time for fifteen years and the partnership has been highly beneficial to both companies. There is a possibility to expand this link; not only to produce for prime time, but other time slots as well, but everything is conditioned by the pandemic, so I would prefer not to make any announcements just yet.
ties across the country, the number of extras was much higher, then the biosecurity protocols forced social distancing, so we could not stay completely true to the story. And it was a story that had already began. We already had 11 episodes on the air and the audience already knew the story. We waited for the best moment, and happily we
How many titles do you produce for América TV? We do three productions a year. We produce twelve months of the year. Our productions are also exported. They are seen in various countries. We already have a conquered market and now the demand has been greater with this pandemic. So we have productions that are already planned. It had never happened to us before. Can you mention any upcoming projects? We are preparing a musical series that still has no title and no protagonists. We should start it in May. It is a project that is conditioned by the pandemic. You cannot plan like in a normal year. It is a complex situation.
“We are preparing a musical series that still has no title and no protagonists.”
Del Barrio Producciones is also making progress in the development of a premium series that will be a co-production with Spain. The fiction has a tentative title ‘La hija del conquistador’, and is centered on the life of Francisca Pizarro, daughter of Francisco
Pizarro. In recent months, the project has undergone some changes from the initial plan, including its extension. Initially designed as a series with 2 seasons of 13 episodes each, now it will be only one season. “We are in a pandemic, therefore, we are thinking of
a one-season project, but always with the same essence, with Peruvian and Spanish actors, filming in Peru and Spain. We are in advanced conversations with Spanish producers. It would be a coproduction, but we are already very advanced with the characters”,
said Hugo Coya, general manager of Del Barrio Producciones. The series is based on the book by historian María Rostworowski, specialized in the conquest of Peru, about the life of Francisca Pizarro, who is considered the first Peruvian
mestizo. “We are waiting for the pandemic to allow us to move forward. It is a project that will have many extras and locations. We are moving forward with the adaptation along with Santiago Rocangoglio. We are almost at the final stages”, he explained.
