In an interview with Contigo!, Hugo Gross, president of the Artists’ Union, confirms that new actions will be taken against artists without DRT in soap operas
About to launch its new seven o’clock telenovela, entitled Dona de Mim, Globo has been subject to a new inspection by the Union of Artists of Rio de Janeiro (Sated-RJ). In addition to the issuer requesting authorization L7not debut in the plot, the institution discovered him Raffaele Vitti it does not have DRT, a professional registration required for artists to work in audiovisual productions. In an interview with Contigo!, Ugo Grosspresident of the body, promises a witch hunt against those responsible for “fraud” of this system.
“If the registration is not respected, the union’s legal department will take action automatically, along with actions, complaints to the Prosecutor’s Office, and fines for any company that hires. The law must be respected. It is much better to choose an actor who really has the qualifications and can play the role clearly, supported by law and has a professional registration.there,” he explains.
Hugo Gross also emphasizes that the Regional Labor Office is a necessary document not only for identifying artists who have legal authorization to work, but for the recognition of this field: “For us it is mandatory to enhance the category and not take people without registration, unqualified people, and insert them into the market, eliminating people who have studied, like Fernanda Montenegro, the same Fernanda Torres who is nominated for an Oscar. Taking a person who shows up, who wants it, but doesn’t know what talent is… Respectability. Let’s not trivialize the profession and take people who have studied and enrolled on merit“.
“It’s everyone’s awareness, right? With this demand for digital influencers, broadcasters hire without registration, because in their head they think that a person who has millions of followers will be as successful as her on the social network. But the market is different, it’s different“, he adds. The president of the Union of Artists still remembers cases when the request to participate in a telenovela became an even bigger problem.
“There was a girl who went there and who doesn’t have the professional register, she’s an extra and she said that now she could do the job because she works a lot, that’s Patrícia Ramos. She has many followers, she’s good at saying it. People today think of themselves as, “Ah, I can say whatever I want.” It’s a right that everyone has, but she was registered as a figure. And then she’s not an actress. So it is not possible to have a professional registration. And how will we do it? Let’s vote with stocks up. But the law, since the person chosen here is not registered, we make an exception to the rules of Law 6533/78 with a request for specific, special authorization. It was the case of Jade Picon that made the crossing of the soap opera“, he shoots.
Despite this, many broadcasters continue to try to circumvent the system imposed by the Artists’ Union. Even if the actors are aware that they must be registered, the companies continue to insist on the participation of artists from other sectors: “She [emissora] tries to circumvent this problem and chooses people without any qualifications, thinking that these people who have no registration, who have many followers, can be very successful. And they’ve been proven unsuccessful, right? You have to have talent. Today there is no Great Othello. It is not easy to do a Fernanda Montenegro, a Carlos Vereza, a Jardel Filho, a Luiz Carlos Arutin, a Tony Ramos“.
“We always have to talk. Really, they’re doing it left and right. I think that the producers… I think, as I heard, that Francisco Acioli orders them to be hired in this way. He tells them to hire people who have no track record, because in his mind, which is the casting director, Francisco Acioli, this will be very successful. But we keep an eye on it and report any problems to the broadcaster. And in the worst case, unfortunately, we judge this“, he emphasizes.
“Sated is here to defend the professional register, to defend the art professional, the art employee, the employee of the actor, the actress, the technician, so that the laws are respected and there is respect for the human beings and the artists we have, who are excellent. The fact is that our Fernanda Torres is nominated for an Oscar and doesn’t have millions of followers, right? It may have increased now, but what is it? He is blood, he was born from a wonderful birth, he studied a lot, he did theater work, he did several shows, he came from a wonderful mother, an excellent actress, a Brazilian reference. And that“, he reiterates.
