Telenovelas moving at a good pace in European markets

Europe has not traditionally been an easy market for Latin American telenovelas. However, the product has recently made progress and is moving at a good pace. Action telenovelas are now in high demand in countries like France

Current Televisa Europa sales are up 300% compared to 10 years ago, when it created the division that now serves this region.

ence,” said Xavier Aristimuño, SVP Sales & Business Development of Telemundo Internacional.

Europe for Caracol, along with Asia and Africa, is a territory instrumental to its growth. Exports for 2012 grew 40% compared to the previous year.

Caracol also signed a deal with a French free-TV channel: France Ó acquired Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal, which was dubbed to French. The series received many accolades, including being named one of the 50 programs that changed the television industry worldwide by The Wit List at MipTV and Mipcom.

Telemundo Internacional late last year signed an agreement the company touts as historic: a volume deal with France Television for 300 hours of telenovelas per year for the next three years. The content will be broadcast on TNT, France 2, satellite free-TV. “This milestone is the fruit of over three years of hard work and guarantees an unprecedented continuity for telenovelas in France. It shows great trust in the quality of our product and the positive response on the part of the French audi-

Liliam Hernández, founder of Cinergia, a company dedicated mostly to dubbing and translating Spanish-language content for export, said Latin American productions are experiencing momentum in Europe. “The Latin American product is very attractive for Europe; it has

been particularly successful in France. French audiences love action series: telenovelas such as El capo, La reina del sur, Pablo Escobar. This type of product is opening important markets across Europe,” said Hernández. “For us at Cinergia it’s highly beneficial for all these content producers to be successful, because we also benefit from higher demand. We’re currently dubbing to English, French, and Portuguese. We’ve made lots of progress and now have six recording studios and an excellent team of professionals,” she added.

telenovelas

To penetrate the European market, some Latin American distributors are pushing traditional telenovelas while others push shorter series.

Dori Media Group (DMG), for example, no longer produces stories of 150-200 episodes, but instead offer 50-60 episodes per season. “If it works well then you keep it going,” recently said to PRODU Nadav Palti, President and CEO of DMG. “It is the model that fits the current market, it’s less risky and it’s easier to sell,” he added. Similarly, Elisa Salinas, producer and director of Azteca Novelas, said that the trend is for telenovelas to become more concentrated: short stories with fewer characters. With Mientras nos quede corazón, novela based on Disney’s Brothers & sisters, “we went for the short-series formula,” said Salinas. Marcela Tedesco

DI S TRI B UTION

Televisa launches at MipTV its second co-production with RTI of Colombia This MipTV Televisa Internacional launches Las bandidas, the new fruit bore out the deal with RTI, as well as the classic story Corazón indomable. Meanwhile the company continues to advance its other co-production projects.

Las bandidas, written by Luis Colmenares and directed by Tony Rodríguez and Santiago Vargas, stars Colombian actress Ana Lucía Domínguez (Gata salvaje, Pasión de gavilanes) and Mexican actor Marco Méndez (Triunfo del amor, La que no podía amar). This is the second project RTI presents resulting from the co-production agreement signed with Televisa. It follows Quién eres tú, the remake of Amazonas, which incidentally Televisa adapted in 2003 under the title Niña amada mía. Corazón indomable, starring Ana Brenda Contreras and Daniel Arenas, is an original story by Inés Rodena, adapted by Carlos Romero and directed by Víctor Rodríguez. “It’s an updated

remake and a mix of Marimar, La venganza and La recogida,” said telenovela producer Natalie Lartilleux. She also pointed out Corazón indomable is not a realistic story: “I favor fairy tales that can become reality.” Lartilleux also said lead actress Ana Brenda Contreras “is a complete actor that has the touch the story needs: she’s playful and simple.”

2012 S ales Televisa launched several titles in 2012. The most successful were Abismo de pasión (an audience favorite in the countries it has premiered), and La que no podía amar. Amores verdaderos was successful as well, but being a remake of the Argentinean story

Las bandidas

Amor en custodia, it did not enter the markets were the original version had aired. Corona de lágrimas –which just ended in Mexico with 55% of share– is projected to be another sales hit. Spain, Hungary and Croatia are some of the European territories that already bought the novela.

C o - production Televisa continues to hold co-production partnerships with Spain’s Globomedia and Sony, which holds first option to produce Televisa’s fiction formats. The company just made a new alliance with La Competencia, the renowned Spanish company that owns one of the most successful

fictions in the Iberian nation: Con el culo al aire. Production for the third season of this series is underway as part of the joint venture between Televisa and La Competencia. Simultaneously, Dreams, the French version of Sueña conmigo, production of which took place last year, will soon premiere on Energy 12 of France. Televisa’s co-production strategy aims to complement the distribution of canned series and engage in local production in those territories where the Mexican cans have no penetration. Marcela Tedesco

DISTRI B UTION

Action series strengthen Caracol’s presence in Europe Europe, along with Asia and Africa, is a territory instrumental to sales growth for Caracol. Exports to the region last year grew 40% compared to 2011. This success is due in part to the company dubbing many of its titles and the fact that its catalog contains several action series, which are highly sought by European programmers

Caracol recently sold to France Ô, France’s state channel, Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal, dubbed in French. “This series is one of the most ambitious and successful productions in the history of Colombian television, and it has open many markets to us,” said Lisette Osorio, International VP of Caracol Televisión. Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal is a mega production with over 1,300 actors and close to 450 locations. It has successfully aired in the U.S., Puerto Rico, Mexico, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Panama and Romania, among other countries. Generally speaking, action series have done well in Europe because aside from having compelling stories, the series have fewer

episodes than traditional telenovelas. Titles such as Made in Cartagena, La ruta blanca and La promesa have done well. The latter has already sold in Italy, Serbia, Bosnia, Russia, as well as in all Latin America and the U.S.

2012

milestones

Caracol had a great 2012. The alliance struck with Univisión last year guaranteed a solid presence in the U.S. through UniMás. Made in Cartagena was the first Caracol title to air on the channel. Similarly, the company is reaching the Mexican market thanks to the agreement for Televisa to produce Caracol’s stories. Televisa already adapted El secretario under the

La promesa

title Porque el amor manda, and became a huge success in Mexico. They are now producing Canarios, the Mexican version of which will be called Libre para amar. Another great achievement in Mexico was the DVD release of Pablo Escobar, el patrón del mal, which has become the most sold in the country.

P roductions and co - productions This MipTV Caracol will be introducing Rafael Orozco, el ídolo, based on the life and career of one the greatest Colombian folk singers of all time, and played by Alejandro Palacio. The company will also introduce La hipocondríaca, a co-production with Sony Pictures Television starring

La ruta blanca

Stephanie Cayo and Ernesto Calzadilla. Caracol is also co-producing El señor de los cielos with Telemundo, and La ronca de oro with CMO: the story of a female singer of rancheras, a music genre dominated by men. The next co-production with Sony will be La suegra, and it will also co-produce the Colombian version of Nip tuck with Warner. La selección is another fiction under production. It pays tribute to Faustino Asprilla, El “Pibe” Valderrama, Rene Higuita and Freddy Rincón, soccer idols who raised Colombia’s reputation across the world.

Telemundo Internacional continues to close important deals

New Telefe strategy focuses on international co-production

Telemundo Internacional signed an agreement with TVN Chile that includes the adaptation of TVN telenovelas for five years. The companies also renewed the existing agreement to distribute TVN’s canned content and formats and adapt its formats for production in the U.S. and Mexico. “We maintain the strategy of pushing the sale of cans and promoting formats, o both in some cases,” said Xavier Aristimuño, Senior VP of Sales and Business Development. Similarly, in late 2012 France TV opened a window in its multicultural channel France Ô, and signed a three-year deal for

Telemundo to provide high-quality telenovelas. It’s a renewable agreement with a guaranteed minimum number of productions and a commitment by France TV to distribute this content in French-speaking countries. The telenovelas included in the deal are dubbed by Telemundo Internacional in Miami. The contract also includes distribution on the digital platforms of France TV. “It is a great achievement for Telemundo Internacional after long years of working closely with French TV. For distributors in general, it’s an open door for the genre to succeed among French audiences,” said Aristimuño.

The highlight for Telefe International this MipTV is Los vecinos en guerra, co-production with Underground and Endemol, creators of the 2012 Argentinean TV mega hit Graduados. Additionally, the distributor will announce some new series. One of them will be the afternoon telenovela being created by Enrique Estevanez, the producer of Argentinean hit Dulce amor. MipTV buyers will also learn about Aliados, a Cris Morena production catering to the multiple platforms: free-TV, web, musical shows, etc. “Although the project needs further development, we want to show our progress,” said Claudio Ipolitti,

Director of Satellite Channels and International Business of Telefe. “We want to exploit new technologies; tie secondary screens to TV. We’re working on this concept and Cris Morena, based on past successes, will bring guaranteed results,” added Ipolitti. Leveraging high-budget, valueadded productions such as Aliados, Telefe seeks to establish alliances with partners around the world to enter highly coveted territories. International co-production is one of the goals of this new strategy, “and in order to achieve that we need to show ideas and products,” said Ipolitti.
