"New Wave" in the telenovela

However, one must admit that there is still a lot of people, especially males, continues to consider low telenovela genre, not deserving of their enlightened attention. I would like someone to these strict critics hinted that the series in recent years have changed dramatically. Along with the classic "soap" stories about modern Cinderella, the Avengers, and kidnappers, he tells about the life of the rich and aristocrats, some here and there born telenovela of a plan, where the magical transformation and happy unequal marriages between rich and poor (rich and poor) conceded place clever, ironic, realistic serial film about the lives of the ordinary people. Retaining only item belonging to someone else's life, "peeping-bugging" of other people's family scandals, declarations of love Declarations of love - a cherished phrase , Showdown, beautiful courtship, little secrets and the big deceptions of which in real life is not so small. And the interesting characters, the better embody their on-screen actors than writers feathers sharper than fancier camera operator and a talented director, the more attracted to us all these series of new wave.

The revolution in the "soap" really did not begin yesterday, and apparently fans vengeful Angel and the weeping of the rich will have to accept coexistence with the heroes of TV series such as Mexican (not "Televisa"!) "The Woman in the Mirror" and recently started on the channel " Viva "Argentine (not" PHONE "!)" Champions ". New Manufacturers Latin American telenovelas create their product, knowing that only the original look and turn to realism could help them to compete with the "old man", which is much slower than aware of the need for change. But - aware!

Well, in the end, fans of science fiction, too, sometimes, hate stories in the style of "fantasy", bowing to serious, as discussed earlier, the popular science fiction. And vice versa. Thus there will always be those who fundamentally do not take up a book if it has anything to do with any fantasy genre. In the same way, perhaps, it will be with the series: the peaceful coexistence of different directions allows access to a much greater number of viewers.

Katriel become a boxer

The fact that the "Champions of Life" (literally translated as the name of the telenovela) purchased "Wiwa" and is about to appear on television in Israel know for a long time. And waited. Because the true connoisseurs and lovers are well aware of how successful was the show of the series in Argentina and other countries, hurried to buy it. In addition to high ratings, romantic comedy "Champions" can boast awards Martin Fierro in five categories: best telenovela of the year, the best protagonist of comedy (Osvaldo LaPorte), best comedy actress (Maria Valenzuela), best music, best debut (Carlos Belloso) .

What's wrong with Argentina? Why is pulled forward "Pol-Ka", is still a young company producing TV series, too, has not led by an old ex-actor Adrian Suar? But the point is that this producer has put on dark horse: the fact that all the conflicts, all the differences that are usually played in telenovelas between different classes now focus within the same social class. Heroes share the obstacles, as before, but not for the reason that they are from different "worlds." Le Soir believes that the possession of equal opportunities rivalry or competition adds a special charm and makes his characters antagonistic neighbors, colleagues at work, while maintaining the principle of the universal appeal of the struggle of opposites.

The success of the product "Pol-Ka" indicates that Latin America increasingly indifferent to the tearful stories where the characters are burned with passion, crying and killing along the way. Argentina is currently the leader in the creation of today's telenovela "new wave".

Osvaldo LaPorte (Katriel in "A girl named destiny," Federico "Milady," Martin "90-69-90 Models") has always played a gallant man, true gentleman, every step of endearing women their innate aristocracy. The "champion" for the first time he managed to change the image - we uncouth habits boxer with Maradona, brash, boorish, coarse joke able to let go to the ladies, drink half to death. His Guido Guevara, a former national champion in boxing, had every chance to win the world championship, but the love of alcohol, gambling and bad company deprived him of the opportunity. After a long absence of 40 letniyy veteran returned to his city, wanting to prove that they are wrong about him, thinking that he did what can not, he has no future.

The role turned out. The actor admits that Guevara helped him take a step forward, for the first time did not interest him in the course of filming, he looks good aesthetically. Laporte is proud that it began to hail on the street, "Hey, Guevara!", As once "Hey, Katriel!". While working on this show Osvaldo had a car accident, and the attentive viewer can see on his face the seams (traces of plastic surgery) and a thick layer of make-up to hide them.

Opponents and rivals

Soledad Silveira, who played Clarita beloved Guevara, with whom he eventually will be known actress, who starred in Hollywood. She is 12 years older than LaPorta, and when the first film with her participation Osvaldo went to the fifth grade. But age spared Soledad and her acting is respected.

The teacher, who is very respected residents of the district, is going through hard times: her son, 16-year-old Federico (Facundo Espinosa), whom she raised alone, became a drug addict. Clarita rushes to save him, sent for treatment in a private clinic, which is not cheap. That is why it comes to mind to pass the room in his house Guevara that begins to work as a coach in a boxing club located next door.
Guevara Clarita, along with her best friend Betianoy Kvirurzo (Betty), which is in the same building provides legal advice, make up the first love triangle of the first part of the series, and believe me, Maria Valenzuela, who plays Betty, earned the prize for best comedy actress making a lot to decorate the plot by their skirmish with Guevara. The geometric shape of love mixed with a neighbor Clarita Eugenio (German Krauss), which had long been secretly in love Clarita, but now, after the appearance of Guevara, try to change the situation.

In the second part of the "Champions" place to have withdrawn from this triangle Betty takes a young Asus. She played an actress Virginia Innocenti, pernicious Miranda from "Antonely" spoiled a lot of blood heroine Andrea del Boca. Enchanted by her first Guevara finally recognized Asusene in his eternal love ... to Clara, and then leave it strongly to finally be reunited with his beloved "blonde" -uchilkoy.
Two women fight for love of one man and the other a triangle generation below: Valentin-Kamil Clara.

Valentin Dalessandro (Mariano Martinez) - Betty's nephew, sister's son Louis (Catalina Speroni) and her restless husband Shiro (Juan Carlos Calabro). Restlessness - because the pensioner can not "change gear": he is the same as 27 years before rises at half past five, doing exercises, breakfast, reading the morning paper, all of which are noisy, from the heart, respectively. As if he still have to run on home refrigerator plant, where Siro know every screw. The problem is that one morning he learned from the newspaper that the plant is sold to some Australians, and many workers threatened with dismissal.

Veteran Labour had led the resistance movement of workers, but "on the fly" was sent to retire the new plant manager, Pedro Brando (Jose Luis Mazza), in whose daughter Camilla (Laura Askurra) fell in love with Valentine .  She rejects long a poor boy who works at night scavenger, but then still could not resist .  Valentin really compelling: local Don Juan, he is aggressive, handsome, rides a motorcycle and engaged in boxing .  In the ring, his opponent becomes Danilo (Luciano Castro), the son of his father's brother, Tito (Osvaldo Santoro) .  The brothers do not talk for six years, and their sons continue the tradition of confrontation of these families .  Tito has recently returned to his native region, forcing the family to worry Siro - like brother not far-fetched claim their part of the house! Demand would like husband Tito - Clelia, which is hilariously played unmatched Betiana Blum (Emilia in "rich and famous"), a famous comedy theater and film actress . 

The Valentine love his cousin Charles (Juliet Diaz, debutante series), Danilo sister that everything is so rigged that the guy thinks a drunken cousin worked with love .  What he was not happy, because all his thoughts on Kamil Brando .  Closer to the finale between the two lovers try to climb another girl named Griselda - the first negative role actress Celina Font (Monica's "rich and famous") .  This Machiavelli in a skirt, using any means to achieve his goal .  She seduces Valentine, whose life comes a black stripe: he not only broke with Camilla, but arguing with coach Guevara .  However, it all ended well: Valentine marries Camila, they have a son, and Griselda placed in a psychiatric hospital, where she was the place .  Guevara will become so close to Valentine that he will come in his place in the ring, when suddenly appeared brother Guido - Ray (Federico D'Elia) - challenge him, intending thereby to settle scores, humiliate Guevara .  And get a knockout at the hands of the student's brother .
