Competition exists in all areas, and television is no exception. In some shows, participants don't hesitate to play the strategy to win. We remember this candidate from 4 weddings for a honeymoon who had unzipped its competitor and strongly exasperated Internet users, or even this candidate of Shopping Queens violently criticized on her age by her rivals … But between the shows themselves, it's also war! At noon, the televised games of Nagui and Jean-Luc Reichmann compete for the viewers. In the early evening, at a time when the French are rushing in front of their soap operas, the competition is fierce. Between Tomorrow belongs to us on TF1, Such a big sun on France 2 and More beautiful life on France 3, difficult to choose.
“A big sun” more “qualitative” than its competitors?
Sunday, June 28, 2020, one of the actors ofSuch a big sun gave an interview to Noon Free. Fred Bianconi confided in his role in the soap of France 2. According to him, it was Toma de Matéis, the producer of the series, who convinced him to join the cast. "This guy has such a vision, such energy, such a good state of mind that it reassured me. […] I said to myself that if it didn't work, if I ever got fucked up, we'd find a way to get me out. ”, remembers the former comedian ofGears. As Fred Bianconi says: in 2018, the series project was a bit vague. “When I was offered Such a big sun, we didn't know what she was going to look like”, he says.
It was then that Fred Bianconi took the opportunity to launch a spade to rival programs … "And in France, a daily newspaper, what is it? This is Better life, Tomorrow belongs to us… Well…”, continues the 54-year-old actor. For him, these soap operas offer no originality. “They told me they wanted to do something different, "Upgrade" the concept, move towards quality …”, he explains. And it was this promise of diversity that finally convinced Fred Bianconi to lend his features to one of the main characters, Virgile Berville. “I was particularly afraid of this bluish light which gives the impression that we are going to sell you a laundry! But no, they wanted a more worked image, favoring natural decorations, beautiful materials… In short, I felt a different will ”, finally concludes the actor. One thing is certain, if More beautiful life were to be deleted – France 3 would consider replacing the famous soap opera – Fred Bianconi and his colleagues would only be delighted.
