Mike on OCS Max Boublil "wanted to do a series without limit, which goes very far…"

Meeting with Max Boublil, hero and co-creator of the series “Mike”, which is currently broadcast on OCS… AlloCiné : How is born the desire to give birth to this hero loser there and more widely this series there,that you have co-created and co-written with Frédéric Hazan ? I’m a huge fan of the series and I wanted to laugh, to make Frederic a series where we would all. Because we can’t do that today. We decided to let go and to make a series that goes very far ! We also wanted to do the gags that we wanted to see. So I co-wrote the series with Frédéric Hazan, who carried it out. I am involved in many aspects of the series, knowing that we had an economy that is very limited. We did the maximum what we could with what we had. The pace was effrené with fourteen minutes useful per day. This motivates, you want to go back to the basics and you have to know your text. How would you describe your hero and his entourage just very particular… Max Boublil : Mike is a guy who only makes bad choices, which is self-destructive, who listens a lot more with his crotch than his head and finds herself in quite grotesque situations (I like that word !). It is surrounded by a gallery of characters who are all screwed up, losers. It is shared with the one who made him office manager : a man who has to manage his career while he is more fit to wear drops, and to connect the jacks, and that is also a driver for Uber on the side because it is necessary to eat well. Mike admires a singer, Philippe Katerine the true, who’s going to become horrible with him. He has parents that are crazy, a father of hypnosis, and a mother who is an alcoholic and that makes the pistol shoot with her daughter at him. It is, therefore, surrounded by the people who are crazy and screwed up, and he himself is crazy and screwed up. It should be noted that on the guests, we have dreamed of people either Richard Berry to be my father or Philippe Katerine, and they came because they wanted to laugh with us, and what writing they liked. Finally around Mike there was his daughter, who is much more mature than him. She was eleven years old, but fortunately it is there, otherwise it would be gone in a spin even more. She brings him back to the concrete, reality. This is the only person he listens to and that he really loves. The young Liona Bordonaro is also THE revelation of the series… It’s hard to play a child who does not play, cabotine not, inasmuch as he is made to say things a little hard. She is right, she plays right, she is beautiful. A true revelation indeed. A season 2 for “Mike” is it already planned ? Everyone talks about season 2, it is of course open, this will depend on the reception of the public. What would you say to that public, just to give him a desire to see the series? I will tell them : if you really want to laugh, if you’re not afraid to see them from time to time in the trash, and if you like the humour a little provocative, look at the series Mike ! In the meantime, here are a few pictures… Mike – season 1 trailer VF
