“OPJ’s specificity is the place of filming of his film”: Why can a police series exist only in Reunion

Interior Day. Décor of Police Department. The exchange is inspired by the actors Nathan Delemé and Fredrick Chau: Officers Jackson Beleroza and Nico Storel are conducting an investigation. Outside, full sun. Within the framework of the former municipal school, which was announced for this case, a very concentrated technical team. Silence, engine, it turns … action! In addition to this place, the city’s delight and the silence of St. Paul’s ear, which begins to shoot the 7 seasons of the OPJ season.

At the same time, 10,000 kilometers away, French 3 viewers are preparing to find out the unprecedented first episodes of the season, on Tuesday, July 8, in the Prime Time. The angry time, which proves the success of the detective series, which, despite the competition and time, seems to be its duration that creates its particular specificity: this place of idyllic shooting and favorable human and material conditions it promises.

He lives between the union and the two presses, the producer Muriel Alorand (Teren’s films) and the production director Alexander Nerier, agreed to provide the secret of this police series as another. An acquaintance.

At the Service of Local Leading Diversity of Intrigues

“OPJ’s specificity is its area, its location”Says Muriel Alorand immediately. “We offer the French TV community to give up our research into unification. Indeed, we try every time, for every investigation we are telling, to improve the culture of unification, the diversity of unification, sets, ethnic groups, cultures.”

Diversity that is also printed on the whole team, which is as Alexander Nerier counts “The authors and advisers of the union who work from writing to refinement of texts, so we have this strong union leader. The authors are in Paris, so they write things that are not necessarily related to the area.

The island is truly regarded as a series other than the character

“Without revealing all the secrets of the series, we can say that there is a real artistic and technical will to emphasize the island. With plans or portraits of the aircraft. The island is truly regarded as a character from a series. It is not just an environment.”

Professional pilots for cars, firearms, to improve the expected level, to use aircraft: the ambition of the series is still increasing, 2×52 minutes, which offers 3 this evening, you will find it, many sets, situations, and the dynamic overcome of the assembly. Similarly, in the 7th season, it is important to intend to strengthen the area in the action sequence planned throughout the island.

Local teams grow up in a series

“Our manufacturing company Terence Films has been working in the area for 15 years.Explains Alexander Nerier.

Add Muriel Alorand: “We have three important mantras. First of all, the increase in the skills of each technician we have been working with for 15 years. NavyWho is our director today, the camera assistant began. Quentin Armend, who was an intern with the decor, is today our accessory on the plateau, the main position, especially in the police series. There is a real confidence that is given to technicians who are also advisable what we do. ”

“I first, Continues Alexander Nerier, ”MeI did BTS audio -visual production, I went to the union, started with management. Since I was a general manager, I still trained in production. ” Until he becomes the director of the production, but in the executive producer in Reunion.

Open tray that includes young people in training

“Second Mantra”Develops Muriel Alorand, “We have to open the shooting doors for young people who are trained during the internship.

Training, which allows young people to undergo an ILOI (Indian Ocean Institute) internship in the OPJ team throughout their course and create skills every year, adds Alexander Ner.

“Our third mantra is finally that our technicians can circulate. Marion, who is our third camera assistant, is a union and lives in the mainland in France, he returns to work for OPJ for unification, but on other orange series in October. This is a super technician. They also argue with their professional abilities and the fact that they have nothing to revenge in France.

Local talented actors with famous guests

In addition to the repeated brigade and famous guests were invited every year, all other roles in the OPJ series played by Reunion Actors: “This is a job that we are very close to every season to go and do wild casting and at the same time enhance our relationships with local actors who are excellent.

If this evening the sixth season in France welcomes 3 guests, such as Bruno Solo (now new day) or Sarah Mortensen (Astrid and Rafael), the seventh will not overcome it. Popular Claire Borto (face to face), Thierry Godard (Black Hearts) and Emma Colbert (such a wonderful sun), by the way, responded, undoubtedly seduced by the favorable team and in a welcoming environment.

The great evolution of format and diffusion

On the island as a whole, the series has not always been. Its first season was held in New Caledonia before Kodi passes there. From there everything has evolved, tells about the producer:

“I would say that OPJ still has a pretty special route, as we started as a series for France and the first network of 50 x 26 minutes, so it was a really soap standard.

During the Kovid phase, we wondered where we could go because the area of ​​Caledonia was closed. And it was quite natural that we came to unite because we had taken over there for several years CutWe knew the technicians, the people of the region who really held us, and those who were still supported, the region is a truly loyal partner who we thank him every year for his help.

We came here in the second season with the desire of France to study the series as a bonus because we know that in time, France is gone. We were brought to 3 in France during the first day, with 20 episodes for 52 minutes. We had to rebuild the whole series. And with a specific order of bonus. ”

Samir Buitard and Thriller’s Olivier Martal Master, who made an excellent audience and then made it possible to order bonuses regularly “Finally arrive at 6, Prime Minister in Season 6.” “We have once again been transformed into our format for creating 12 bonuses, so 6 evening in France 3, all summer in the mainland in France.”Details of Muriel Alorand.

“It is quite exceptional that the solemn series arrives in France daily in France, 3 awards in France. This is still a beautiful trajectory, and all that thanks to the union region, French TVs and especially our technicians and especially for everyone to invest in this series.

The family who lived together by marriages, births, dead, and who today imposed their members in the region, which is entirely a French audiovisual landscape. “We think we are a little bit of something.” There is no doubt.
