Money Heist: Things you should know about the Netflix series
When Money Heist(La Casa de Papel) premiered on Spanish television in 2017, no one knew that three years later it would be the most-watched English-language non-English series on Netflix worldwide. Money Heist is created by Álex Pina and features actors such as Álvaro Morte, Úrsula Coberó, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herrán, Jaime Lorente and Esther Acebo, among others. It was recently updated for its fifth and final season by the streaming giant.
1. Money heist - a famous event
After (La Casa de Papel) acting on spanish tv with 4.3m views, its audience dropped dramatically in season 2. Netflix offered the sport and introduced it to the countrywide catalog, decreasing the first 15 episodes to 20-five. It has grow to be the most popular netflix show in six international locations: france, italy, chile, portugal, brazil and argentina.
2. La Casa de Papel and Money Theft
The show was originally called Los Desahuciados (The Exile). However, it started on the Spanish Antenna 3 network in 2017 as La Casa de Papel, which means House Paper. It was nicknamed Money Theft when it was acquired by Netflix for its international broadcast.
3. Color design
Denver's laugh led to some light moments in the show. Unfortunately, this was already mentioned in the script as "crazy laughter" and each(La Casa de Papel) actor revised the work, paying for their own interpretation. Actress Jaime Lorente then came to the lead over Grease's Danny Zuko. While the authors had written a seminar in Nairobi specifically for Alba Flores, they also planned to keep every member of the team, possibly ill, by giving them the incentive to participate in the theft. It was later changed, except for Berlin.
4. Tokyo and name
Tokyo & La Casa de Papel was the first city mentioned in the record. The man's name was later changed after Alex Pina arrived wearing a Tokyo shirt that was engraved on him for his first contact with the script. Names like Berlin, Moscow, Denver and others followed over the next 15 minutes.
5. Teacher
The show will be narrated by The Professor. Thus, the creators argued that it was “too narcissistic for him to narrate his own plans”. To give her a "feminine perspective", they chose Tokyo.
Álvaro had to audition five times for the key role. His unique style of customizing glasses is also a personal contribution of the actor.
6. Write
Unlike other shows that were first written and then shot, Money Heist(La Casa de Papel) was written during filming. As a result, the players and the team had no idea what they would achieve the next day. Short of the rehearsal time, the player occasionally sends a fictional video to his phone to explain his camera’s movements.
7. Personalized position and effective process
The site of the first robbery was the Royal Mint in Spain. There are a lot of obstacles to filming here. Therefore, the team ultimately used the National Research Council building because the exterior is similar to the mint building.
On the other hand, the gang creates a hotel room connected to the second Bank of Spain robbery(La Casa de Papel). To design it, the team talked to army officers and eventually created real equipment. The team also sent a video to a jewelry workshop in Spain to learn about traditional gold mining methods. Real professionals, who oversaw the development process of the shoot, acted as extras in the show. Eventually, the show used copper instead of gold.
