Why "Here Everything Begins" is still causing a disaster for students

• This Wednesday, TF1 offers a special episode of the series

  Here Everything Begins

  marked by a disaster.

• Almost the entire Auguste Armand Institute will be reunited for a prom that will change the fate of several characters.

• "We must not suddenly have the impression of seeing another series", warns Sarah Farahmand, the producer of the fiction.

Who has never experienced the explosion of his school then a terrible tragedy during a party over his school career?

No one ?

However, this is what the characters of the series

will suffer from this Wednesday.

While all the students will be more beautiful than ever to wiggle their hips on the dance floor of their prom, an event will put them in danger.

For this occasion, two episodes of daily fiction will be devoted to it on TF1.

Find an opportunity that brings the whole institute together

“We wanted a unifying event.

It was quite naturally that we said to ourselves that a disaster had to happen, ”explains producer Sarah Farahmand to

.

In a choral series, most of the actors turn almost daily, whether it is a question of ensuring a first role or declaiming a few lines in a secondary plot.

That's why we had to create an opportunity that brings all the promotions and faculty together in one place and at the same time.

“We wondered what event could bring everyone together outdoors and it was quite naturally that the idea of ​​a prom came up,” recalls the producer.

Between the campus of the institute, the typologies of its characters and the relationships they can maintain with their hierarchy,

is already betting on the American fiction side.

“We have all seen proms in a thousand series, reports Sarah Farahmand.

As soon as we submitted the idea, we had references, images in mind and that excited everyone.

A "very

Grey's Anatomy

" scene to be expected

There is one thing to be careful about when mobilizing your entire series around a single plot: not to distort the fiction that fans appreciate.

To avoid this, life must resume its course as soon as possible.

“We made sure to put the kitchen back in at the end of the week,” underlines Sarah Farahmand.

Thus, under the impetus of director Emmanuel Teyssier, students will agree not to close the doors of Double A, the school's application restaurant.

Theo, the chef, will ask himself the question but his father will encourage him to move forward by assuring him that this is what the late Auguste Armand would have wanted.

Moreover, we dare to spoil you one of the scenes to discover soon: the customers will learn that the students have not closed the restaurant when they have just experienced a tragedy and that some are still between life and death. death, then they will applaud them.

"It's very

as a scene," concedes Sarah Farahmand laughing.

Above all, “we must not suddenly have the impression of seeing another series”, indicates the producer.

Although this is unlikely to happen since it is always the same faces that interact in the same settings, the essence that animates the characters, in this case having a passion that leads them to surpass themselves and move forward, must also apply in these moments and remain intact.

A month of preparation for two episodes

The production of this type of plot obviously requires more resources than usual.

The director, who normally has nine days of preparation for ten episodes, this time had the right to a month for two episodes.

For its part, the team in charge of the costumes and the make-up also did not count its hours since it had to prepare two versions of each outfit, one new and the other damaged by the disaster.

The actors themselves do not change their habits.

Although he has scenes of panic to play, the work is not necessarily made more difficult by the intensity of the emotions to be conveyed.

“We have all more or less known fear in life, testifies Sabine Perraud alias Constance Teyssier in the series.

We know it at the moment with the Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine, we knew it with the attacks.

When you combine fear, the urgency to seek help and empathy, it will give the impression of the right emotion.

The public will judge on exhibits this Wednesday.
