This is a controversy that has been burning the web for days. In an interview with Ici Paris magazine, Laurent Cerusorre, who portrays Thomas Mars in the film Plus belle la vie, expressed his dismay at the discontinuation of the France 3 soap opera.
The actor particularly regretted the way the announcement was made to the series’ teams, and lamented that Chief of Public Service Delphine Ernot-Kuns didn’t come to tell them in person.
“Mrs. Ernot did not come to tell us bad news, not even a letter. He sent one right hand. We were released by Enark, who will work in a bank or Orange in two years. Turned away with Enark, I didn’t understand...”
Faced with this cash interview, Newen, the supporting producer of Plus belle la vie, wanted to answer. And this with our colleagues puremedias.com that Claire de la Rochefoucauld, screenwriter of the series since 2008 and co-producer for three months with Serge Ladron de Guevara, responded to these remarks after a telephone conversation with Laurent Kerussore.
“I immediately called Laurent to get his version of the facts because I was very surprised. Of course, I do not agree with him at all.– he explained. As for the appearance of Thomas the interpreter in this interview, Claire de la Rochefoucauld prefers to give the actor the benefit of the doubt.
“She finds that the Ici Paris article has distorted her notes and she really doesn’t like the picture it sends her. He wants to end the series in style, and the article, on the contrary, sends the image of someone bitter and hateful. For him, this is not his state of mind and does not at all reflect the interview he took..”
“Laurent was very hurt. He feels completely spoiled” he says before adding “I don’t want the actor’s comments, distorted or not, to sow discord in the series that is developing the best. He has also done many other interviews where he has never had anything like this. They took advantage of an emotionally difficult moment for Laurent.“
In the face of this controversy, the producer assured that the teams continue to work.Hand in hand with France TélévisionsAnd that he understood the decision made by the group:They decided to end the series. This is the life of the series. After some time the series ends. We had 18 happy years. Objectively, the ending goes very well, both artistically and socially.“.
Claire de la Rochefoucauld also explained that after the announcement of the end of Plus belle la vie, human resources representatives from France Télévisions and Newen were present at the Belle de Mai studios to receive technicians. An artistic agent, Tamara Martin-Laval, has even been hired to follow the cast until December.
“It’s not life-ending, it’s life-changing“- concluded the producer. “We’re going to make sure, as the end of the series, that it’s as successful as possible“. See you on November 18 to find out what the latest episode of Plus belle la vie has to offer.
