Abismo de Pasion is running now and it's a remake of the fantabulous novela in the 90's Cañaveral de Passiones. I'm sure fans would be intrigued by the main story points.

Of course, that begs the question, how do they determine what in the story isn't working? Overall low ratings don't really address the whys and wherefores of specific stories. Do they use focus groups, surveys, emails or message boards? Or do they glean more specific Nielsen data about when people are actually turning the channel? Or...?<br /><br />Also, I remember another form of product placement that Telemundo used was with Verizon Wireless during <i>Niños Ricos, Pobres Padres.</i> The show would appear to come back from a commercial break and start a scene with the actors, in character on an actual set. But then something would happen involving a cell phone on stage, and the director would yell, "Cut!" The actors would then go out of character and begin discussing their cell phone service with each other or someone from the stage crew. It was actually pretty funny and inventive. I remember thinking American soaps should do something like this on occasion. <br /><br />I believe NRPP was also the telenovela that actually used a Subway fast-food restaurant to film at on occasion. The high school kids would go there, and in betweeen gossiping about their friends and love lives, they'd discuss the menu. It was a litte more heavy-handed to say the least.FoxCranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826849478948616154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-2602938685736246352012-05-05T20:41:45.105-04:002012-05-05T20:41:45.105-04:00Thank you for starting to write about Telenovelas....Thank you for starting to write about Telenovelas.
