Eugenio Derbez is motivated by the affection of his colleagues, as stated in an interview with Efe by the Mexican producer who claims to be working hard to train new comedians to represent the country.
"I don’t feel like a teacher because every project I do I feel like I don’t know anything, I still have a lot to learn. I like to promote new talents and I believe that we can make a great generation of comedians in Mexico if we shake hands with them."he said on his way through the blue carpet of the third season of his series "LOL: Last One Laughing".
As he explained, one of his next projects is to make television programs and films with young talents that he has found through social networks and whom he has called. "sons".
But Derbez is sincere when he comments that it is not so easy to convince when it comes to comedy, as his career in the field has made him more critical when reviewing what proliferates in networks.
"I like all kinds of comedy, one more than another but I must confess that suddenly I see many Tik Tok capsules where the joke is very basic and does not have a punchline. I’m from the old guard and I think you have to tell a good joke with a bang and make you laugh", he mentioned.
FOR LOVE AT ART
Derbez is sincere in stating that all the projects he undertakes are carried out guided by the heart.
"I always try to innovate in my career, I don’t do it for money, I always look for projects that make me fall in love, that make a difference"he confessed.
This has given it good results, only in 2020 it won a Daytime Emmy for best entertainment program in Spanish for "LOL: Last One Standing" And now, with the intention of setting the bar even higher, the comedian returns with this franchise on December 10 on Amazon Prime Video.
The format is repeated but, as he commented, it is improved, since the challenges faced by the ten popular comedians who participated to win a sum of money while holding back laughter were more dynamic.
"After the award, I have a lot of responsibility to make a quality product, that’s why we made many improvements to the format to make it more fun and dynamic. By far the best season we’ve done"the comedian mentioned.
DIVERSITY AND FREEDOM
Derbez has two successful projects on the Amazon platform ("Traveling with the Derbez"), is working on a movie that traces Mexican roots with Netflix with "Lottery" and on Apple TV + he recently presented his series "Acapulco".
"I like diversity, I have been working for Televisa for many years and they didn’t let you go except to the corner. Now I have the freedom to open myself to all platforms and I like it because each of them has its style and its rules, I feel like a child in a toy store", ends.
