INTERVIEW
Since June 1, filming of Un si grand soleil has resumed. A relief for the production of the daily serial, and for France 2, which connects successes thanks to its French series. But it is inevitably in singular conditions that the actors found themselves, epidemic of coronavirus obliges. Fred Bianconi, who plays Virgile, a character who has the pain of losing his daughter, tells Tuesday in Culture Media, on Europe 1, these somewhat special shootings. "You could say it's weird," smiles the actor.
"We touch the bag, they stalled a close-up, hydroalcoholic gel, we remove the mask and we resume the scene"
"When we repeat the texts, we do it with masks, and when it comes to filming, we unmask", says Fred Bianconi. "And if we ever have to touch our hands, touch a bag, then we mash up, hydroalcoholic gel, we touch the bag, they have locked up a close-up, hydroalcoholic gel, we remove the mask and we resume the scene", continues the actor.

The rate of filming of a daily soap opera made it easy to pass the obstacle, swears the actor. "Obviously, it's weird, but you get used to everything," he says. "As you get used to the shooting rhythm which is quite long ... but which is super interesting for an actor because it forces us to be on the spot immediately."
However, to review kisses on the air, we will have to wait. "As for Virgile, the problem is less," laughs Fred Bianconi. "He left Montpellier with a desire to see no one anymore. He finally returned some time later, but this desire to be alone in relation to himself is quite present. So he is not the one who has the most of contacts, let's say. "
