In a small studio in Miami, Mario Kreutzberger (Talca, Chile, 80 years old) asked the Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, who was listening to another lad of a pantyhole: “How do you remember this pandemic? Because an artist is accustomed to being very small in his house ”. The question arises the context in which Kreutzberger launches a new Show, with an effort to reinvent in front of the pandemic that humanity has embarked on in a sail. Kreutzberger, don Francisco, as known in all of America by the popularity of his program Sábado Gigante, built his small studio with three people, conditioned to avoid covid-19 contagios, from donde graba Reflections 2021, the series of interviews that airs on CNN in Spain. ‘Cuando hooi tanto que decir, uno no puede quedarse en silencio. This is a distinct world and we have adapters. I’ve been doing something completely different from what I did, ”Don Francisco explained in an interview conducted, como no, on the platform zoom.
Among the refreshing sororities, the presenter, with 59 years of television experience, explains that he is learning “many things”, because this world of television does not have the same as the triad of decades, with large screenplays, large orchestras, many effects for the public and segments that require a huge production. Now there is a microphone and a computer. Con Reflections, dice, bush ahondar in the humanity of his guests, with themes that from the day of love, migration, sobrepeso, his moments “when one reads the water to the water” or the need to reinvent. “I have an adventure to do virtual interviews, because there is much less that can be done. But it also has its ups and downs, because at the moment there is much more to it than what is normally said, ”argues Don Francisco.
Nacido and Chile are 80 years old, descended from the family of the origin judío que huyó de la Europa nazi, Don Francisco’s neighborhood and the presenter of television más famoso de América Latina. Your program Sábado Gigante 53 years ago, it was canceled in 2015 by the Guinness World Records it has been recognized as the longest-running variety program in the history of television. Every week millions of people are sent in front of the chic pants to complete with a rito of three hours, but the lema “separated by distance, united by one or another idiom”. In water Show has song contests, travel reports, interviews, comic book segments, and recognizable artists that in this scenario have a huge projection platform and have been working on automobiles. What does it mean to have Mario Kreutzberger enroll in a more elaborate format? “All days before, because in each Show estoy haciendo algo distinto ”, afirma.
The presenter is aware that now the people have different forms of content, in view of the social speeches that allow a more dynamic modality, with the active participation of the audience; the constant change in technological devices such as mobile phones and the disruption of current. “Before a man looks for a person, now the person looks for a person. If it seems to you that Don Francisco is a person who can be interesting, look for this schedule and see it. Antes haciíamos mil cosas para la la gente viniere a nosotros. Now the people are looking for their niche ”.
The producers of Reflections he habilitated social networks so that the public can participate in submitting presentations, videos and their own reflections, which will be presented in the program. Kreutzberger and his team hope that the series of interviews will be rescheduled — which will be aired on Tuesday, February 26, at 9:00 p.m., Miami time — to be able to receive the program for the audience. “I would like to know what it is that the people despise these weeks. I want to see what is good, what is bad, what can be better ”, dice.
In the first episodes of Reflections appeared from his computer pants, in addition to Luis Fonsi, the Chilean writer Isabel Allende, the Venezuelan singer José Luis Rodríguez, “El Puma”, the Mexicans Yuri and Gloria Trevi. The interviews giran alrededor de vivencias of these characters, because as Kreutzberger says, su fuerte is “the analysis of the personality” of his interviews, “ver quiènes son, kómo llegaron a ser lo son”.
The gravity of this program is one of the few incursions that the presenter has made of the house, but being a high-risk person if covid-19 is contagious debit to his oath. Although he has been evacuated, he claims to have died during the most difficult moments of a pandemic that killed more than 489,000 people in the United States. “I feel that these are long lasting times, because one has to adapt, to make a routine. Antes uno salía a trabajar todo el dia y conocía gente, hablaba con manyas personas. Ahora, mira el valuer que uno le da a un beso, un abrazo, un apretón de manos ”, afirma. But not the pandemic, nor the cambios that are driven by technological advancement, nor the oath that takes place in Mario Kreutzberger’s cave. Al preguntársele si ha pesado en ello, reflexiona: “A uno lo retiran. It retreats the physical conditions, the mental conditions, the public, the health. But, retire now when there is something to do? This is a passion ”.
