<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nI was in Paris, during one of the few trips outside the\ncountry to film farces. These were farces for which there was no more than a\nplan made on paper from what we knew about the place as tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We got on a plane \u2013 the team earlier together with the host,\nthe celebrities (\u201cvictims\u201d) 1-2 days later, knowing that they were going there\nfor something else, not for a farce J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We walked and traveled by\ntube in Paris, to establish the places for filming. We had made a lot of plans\nfrom home, but\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n We had to organize\neverything very carefully, as we were “away from home”, in one of the\nmost crowded\ntouristic cities in the world, where we could not control everything and where\nunforeseen things could spoil our plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The team meetings we held in outdoor cafes, on famous streets, full of tourists, in a holidays atmosphere that we could only smell, not really experience\u2026 Well, smell and eat, sometimes J.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ok, the snails were very good, but we had to hurry up, as we had no time to lose. So each saw to his business and I was sent to the police with all the documents to get approvals for shooting and with texts like: “Pls, pls, we want \u2013 filming \u2013 here”\u2026 As you cannot film whenever you want on the streets in Paris, especially close to touristic places, with actors, costumes, props and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With all the papers in hand, with the face of the producer “overwhelmed by problems”, I succeeded in getting as much as possible without any money\u2026 The gypsy that I am J)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then I left the police headquarters to go to the place of\nshooting, where the actors were being disguised in characters, wearing the\nright clothes and having the right props according to the script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A short rehearsal, the last indications of the director, the\ncameras are hidden and we are waiting for the signal that the\n“victim” is getting close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Negru, the host, in a safe area for all of us, is already in the tired tourist mode\u2026 In the shade, out in the open, with very few people passing by, this is the perfect situation for a snooze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next to Eiffel Tower, this is a luxury sleep. But as we needed\nNegru for the shooting, the luxury was over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is how we filmed one farce after the other. We\nmoved, like nomad gypsies, to different touristic places full of tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And we were scattered all over the place, to control the\nsteps of the farce, without being seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, the fact that I looked like a beggar on the piers of the Seine could have become an advantage\u2026 However I did not have the chance to get any Euros J)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n After three days of shooting, we all relaxed. Together with\nthe “victim” Simona Gherghe, a tv host, we took a boat tour on Seine\nand with the singer Sorana we wanted to take a group photo at the\n“crime” scene. Together with Negru, some of the team and some of the\nactors (although even we, the people from the production team, played parts\u2026\nWell, just extras, truth be told\u2026)<\/p>\n\n\n\n And from here, from this photo with the team, the ball went down the hill\u2026 What do you know, some very happy gypsy recognized Negru and immediately wanted to take a photo with him. So we were out of the picture, and they were in. Just magic\u2026 J))<\/p>\n\n\n\n This seemed to me the funniest and the quickest “black\nand white” game played next to the Eiffel Tour! Here are the white people\nand Negru (note: Negru = Black), here the white people are no longer present\nand here are the black ones\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n We said, let us leave the place as the photo session was\ngetting too long and all the tourists were looking at us in a funny way. Not to\nspeak about my fear that the police could come. We had the approval for\nfilming, but not for the photo shooting with the entire population\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you think we finished the Eiffel Tower episode? No way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/a><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
