Since the first season of Money Heist, Álex Pina detected the potential of Berlin, the character said goodbye of Netflix's most successful series in its second cycle. But no one forgot Berlin.Played by Pedro Alonso, with a glimpse of humanity, a terminal illness, an absolute idea of loyalty and a brilliant and Machiavellian mind
Cindy la Regia, the Netflix series based on a romantic comedy that is positioned at the top of the ranking
“Resurrecting a dead person was a very complicated task. Our intention at all times was to be able to make a series with its own franchise, which despite starting from an already known universe, which is La casa de papel, was an independent series with its own codes as well, with its own band and its own way of telling, but we had a character, the central core and epicenter of the narrative of La casa de papel”, explains Esther Martínez, Pina's creative key.
And he adds: “So, we had to separate him from the darkest moment of his life, with the illness and the kidnapping, and what we did was place him many years ago, in a bright, golden time. On that path we found a way to tell a series that was soon going to separate you from the matrix and that you were soon going to write down as a different production with its own nature and with its own narrative.”
“Two things move the world: money and love,” says Berlin at one point in the plot of this fiction made up of eight chapters. Paris is the ideal setting to unleash the creativity of white-collar thieves, with a meticulous way of working, who aim to steal 44 millions of euros in historical jewels belonging to great families.
When everything seemed to be stitched together to perfection, Berlin's hedonism, his taste for enjoying the pleasures of life and his desire to face passion That first phase of falling in love leads him to put the entire plan at risk, but he is not the only one who jumps into the void.
This search for the “energy of love and its fantasy”, as he calls it, not only drags him along, all the characters succumb to the soundtrack of Love is in the air and they seem to live La vie en rose, including an idyllic vespa ride through the streets surrounding the Seine in true Audrey Hepburn style in Roman Holiday, until the tension and The adrenaline of the robbery makes an appearance after some extensive preliminaries.
“Berlín is a character who suddenly enters a room and you don't know if he is going to give you a hug or kill you; So, this psychopathy that the character has, in the end it is charisma, people like the charismatic villain a lot, right? I have always talked about Jack Nicholson's Joker, who amuses you a lot, and Berlin, deep down, people love him because he amuses them, because he says stupid things, and although he is an absolutely cruel character, at times despicable, how is it possible that This character is the most loved by the public when they did a Netflix survey in many countries. There is something strange because until now the beloved characters were the white characters, and Berlin is, I think, a charismatic character with whom you have a good time because you don't know where he is going to turn out," concludes Pina.
In the new series, Pedro Alonso is not yet the Berlin we know, he is more Andrés de Fonollosa, the leader of the band. But he is already emerging as the most astute, always one step ahead of the others.
“Since we premiered La casa de papel we realized that it had everything. Berlin can entertain you, it can do comedy with Arturito (one of the hostages in the bank where the gang of robbers commits the robbery), it can generate tension close to terror, it can kill, it can generate a friendship, be a wonderful brother with fraternal values , it can be a family member, it can be an artist. A character who had such a range of things, the first thing he shows you is that you have an absolutely unpredictable roadmap,”
comments the Spanish Álex Pina, creator, screenwriter and executive producer of La casa de papel, which for 41 episodes kept a captive audience with its plot< /span> about kidnapping and robbery and which was the most watched non-English speaking series on Netflix during its first two seasons.
