Blue Jeans readers?
We chatted with them to find out if they had read the Blue Jeans novel prior to filming. “None. Hahahaha “, they assure at the same time. “And we were asked to do it. We could do whatever we wanted, but that’s really the first thing they told us, that from that novel they had wanted to bring that to a more mature audienceadded Daniel.
This is one of the important differences compared to the novel which has a younger air. “Tito, one of the directors told me, why are they calling me if this children’s series is not my rope? That’s exactly it they wanted this story, to make it darker“, he stated.
“My character, who is an adult, is visible, they told me that I was going to find little reference in the novel because they had created this father-daughter relationship, of lack of communication. In fact, the starting point is that we lost his mother, my wife, two years before. for work, at that time it was not very useful to go to her house. We did the work on the scripts and we talked a lot between us“, he explained on the reason for not having read the novel.
They hadn’t read it before shooting, they didn’t read it during, but they didn’t read it afterwards. “No, because it’s a bit weird for me. It scares me to think that I’ve created a character that is Julia and to imagine that I’m reading it and saying…began by saying Zoe. “Oh, it was someone else, hahahaha,” his partner interrupted. “That’s why I prefer to wait to see how the fans are if they like the characters or not,” she ended up admitting.
“It gives us great peace of mind that Blue Jeans is so happy. It’s as if you are happy to have created the story…”, confessed the actor.
Zoe had not read the invisible girl, but yes the Blue Jeans romance novels. “At the beginning of everything when I did the castings I knew who Blue Jeans was and read me his romance novels. I already knew a little while doing where I’m going. I was a big fan when I was little, around 13 years old. I have the books at home. I had the typical romantic moments when you were a teenager“, he recognized.
talk to their characters
They are clear about what they would say to their characters if they could talk to them. “May there be light at the end of the tunnel, what encouragement, what in the end everything is fineeven that misfortune that happened in the city and you didn’t lose her, you didn’t lose your daughter,” Daniel expressed.
“I would say to my character that sometimes she lets herself go a bit more and relaxes because Julia is very strong and very intense.. Everything affects him a lot and it’s not bad that he is emotional, but sometimes he is always on the verge of exploding and suffers more than he wants. While it is true that she has a different journey from that of Miguel Ángel and that she has already overcome the death of her mother, she sees more light, it is true that she feels very alone. He tries to talk to his dad in a very individual way,” Zoe added.
couple with chemistry
The chemistry between them is obvious. “Zoe is wonderful. I want to work with her all the time. This relationship is important in this series. We didn’t know each other and there weren’t a lot of rehearsals either. There were readings, especially work at the table, lots of discussions, but we didn’t get up to get up, listen to each other, look at each other and we were both a little scared with that because, in addition, everyone started the series with their own universe, her with the kids and me with the police station. And we confessed that day, now we have the nougat of us which is more emotional. And that was doing the first sequence and understanding each other so well, like watching each other and things happening and we were those characters. Socially some and things happened that had to happen. Oh that’s great. They will have passed the casting, what are they talking about chemistrybecause it was really immediate,” the actor admitted.
“He gave me a lot of respect like in the beginning, before we shot the first sequence, and then after shooting it was like, wow, we already have it. The vibe that we both had to create together s was created and I was also very happy to work with someone who has more experience and experience and worked hard. It gave me a little, not yuyu, but later I was very grateful because it makes everything very easy for youand he takes care of you and he’s a fun person, who talks, you don’t feel distant, it’s very easy”, explains Zoé about her relationship with Daniel.
