Actor Guillermo Francella, who starred in 'La cena de los tontos' several years ago and is now on the production side, explained: 'I love 'The Dinner of the Fools', that's why we kept the rights for so long.' He noted that it is necessary to find a niche and figure out how to engage people so they continue to enjoy the content. 'One must adapt, otherwise you end up in the Middle Ages,' he added. Francella also analyzed his past year, which he described as 'very good and intense.' 'I was in Spain filming a movie that is about to be released, I filmed 'Homo Argentum', 'El Encargado 4', traveled to festivals, I was tired, but everything turned out wonderfully,' he said. He also commented on new consumption habits: 'Streaming has emerged, and one cannot deny a reality, it has been a huge success everything that happened with Luzu, filling the Gran Rex, I have corroborated it in practice, it is amazing and welcome. Now comes the vertical content, a minute and a half long because kids are not in front of screens for too long,' he added. Francella traveled to Mar del Plata for the premiere of 'La cena de los tontos' and took the opportunity to analyze the summer season and new public consumption trends. He stressed that these first days of the season are key to evaluating audience turnout: 'These days are important, I still can't tell you what will happen with the season, I think it will be good.' 'Cinema, yes, since platforms arrived and post-pandemic people don't go to the cinemas,' he concluded. 'Thank God, theater has not diminished public attendance. Why deny something that has changed so much and that is happening? Like artificial intelligence.'
