me, reading a post about how x evak remake is good and amazing and in love and perfect and agreeing with everything:

me, getting to the last line stating something like “and that’s why they are the best and the other remakes are trash”: 

me, getting myself worked up about it:

me, typing a bullet points post about how and why you don’t have to put a remake down to lift another up:

also me, trying to convince myself engaging with drama is not worth it:

me, ending up not posting anything and congratulating myself on my self restraint:

Axel Auriant and Maxence Danet-Fauvel - Biiinge Interview. 

Axel: No, no, but it’s that…let’s go. I’ll do redo it. Can you ask me again? Great, cut!

“Your biggest laughing fit?” Maxence: It was during rehearsals on the first day, we took at least an hour to recover. I don’t have many scenes with the boys, but I can remember one in the school…where clearly, it was hell. Axel: Oh, the one where you die at the end? Maxence: Yeah, that’s the one.

“One thing you had to learn for the show?” Maxence: Bipolar disorder. I didn’t know how to play that. I was coached, by my acting coach. I talked about it to people around me, especially to a close friend, whose mother has bipolar.  Axel: And I had to learn the piano. I had the good idea of telling David: “what if we did a song on the piano?”, on June 21st, we found the texts. And David chose the most complicated of the songs we had thought about. So I had to work on it for about 2 months. At first I only had the four notes, and they were thinking “this isn’t going to work”. And it worked on the day of the shooting. Without a backing track.

“The best compliment from a fan?” Axel: I think it’s when we got a message from a young girl who said that after watching an episode of Skam France, she found the confidence to come out to her parents. And when we started shooting, we told ourselves that if we could help one young person be proud of who they are, to be confident…I think it was the most beautiful message, and the person sent it to the three of us, David, Maxence and myself, and we all sent it to each other saying “guys, we did it!”. 

“Your favorite line?” Maxence: When I introduce myself in episode 1, there’s a bus stop, and Chloé sits between us. She asks for my name, she’s a little bit pushy. I answer her, and then I lean forward to look at him and I say “I’m Eliott”.  Axel: Oh god, he’s amazing! He’s like “I’m Eliott”, like that. With a little…you do it better than me. With a little look, and then we’re like “ooof”. I completely neglected the impact it would have, and it’s true that after episode 1 aired, it was the line that stuck. And it was pretty crazy. Maxence: Yeah, it’s true, that was cool. It immediately set the tone. Axel: Yeah, absolutely.

“A prop you would have liked to take home?” Maxence: So first of all, there were a lot of our things on the shoot. Axel: Yeah, about that, Glenn, if you can give back my grey sweatshirt, I would be eternally grateful. Maxence: We shot with our own clothes. Well 75% were our own clothes, so obviously we kept those. There was one outfit that I wanted to keep and that I was allowed to keep. Actually, no, it’s because those were my clothes as well! Axel: For real?

“A secret that no one knows about shooting?” Maxence: It was the first kiss scene. We’d been shooting for at least twelve hours. Axel: And it was raining, so we had to stop shooting. It was really… Maxence: Because it had to rain only in that moment. It rained, so we waited an hour and we tried to put away all the equipment. Axel: So they were moving the equipment with a cable, like during a hike. It was really something. We’d climb back up to the dressing rooms.  Maxence: We almost went abseiling. We had a rain machine, and no spare clothes. We were told “guys, we have one take”. We had already shot kiss scenes before, and the director would tell us like “more tongue, more intensity!”. Since he would always tell us that it was “not good” when we kissed, in that moment we thought “fuck, we don’t have a choice, we can’t mess up”. Axel: It’s true that we’re being cocky about it now, but at the time we were really scared, because we really realised that it was such an important moment. And frankly, I love that scene. Maxence: Yeah, me too.

OK, so apparently there was a second part to Axel and Anne-Sophie’s interview, which I COMPLETELY MISSED, so here it is…sorry for the delay.

“What annoys you the most about the other character?” Anne-Sophie: The fact that he’s unable to own up to anything and that he takes so long, and that he causes a lot of pain around him before he learns how to own up to things.  Axel: I’m being very careful about what I’m going to say. She’s always there after him, so I’d say she’s overpowering, but on the flipside, it’s what makes him do the most beautiful thing in the world, which is to fall in love with a guy and accept it.

“How many times did Lucas ghost Chloé?” A: Twice? Three times? A-S: Uhh… A: Ok, fine. Four.

“Three good reasons to watch season 3?” A: Honestly, I think it’s rare to have a TV show for young people, which is made with young people for young people. And it talks about love and friendship, and I think those are the two most important things, when you’re a teenager: to be able to love, and to be able to trust. A-S: Yeah, and if you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it, then it’s gonna be really cool!

BLANK with Axel Auriant and Maxence Danet Fauvel

“What I like the most about the painting is…” Axel: Wait are we talking about the mural? Maxence: Well yeah. A: I thought we were talking about painting in general. M: No, the mural! A: So I put “That anyone can have their own interpretation of a work of art”. M: What I liked the most about the painting is getting it in my teeth. A: Letting go, because we really let go during that scene.

“Eliott has the…” M: Eliott has the best boyfriend on earth. A: Eliott has the boyfriend he deserves. M: OOooooh!

“Lucas has…” M: Lucas has a lot of courage for chosing me as a boyfriend. A: Lucas has the best boyfriend in the universe.

“It’s really weird when…” M: It’s really weird when the costume designer tell us we’re gonna be shooting without modesty socks. He agrees on my right. A: Yep, the right agrees.

“We played a lot of…with the gang”. A: Ball tag. M: Yeah ball tag. Clearly. A: Ball tag! M: Ah! Not with Eliott, with the gang, fuck!

BLANK with Axel Auriant and Maxence Danet Fauvel - Part 2

“Kissing the whole time we were shooting was…” M: It was… A: It was…It was new. M: It was strangely cool.

“…on set was really cool!” M: I have a spelling issue… A: What are you trying to write? M: Our connection. A: So I wrote “our connection”, because I think that… M: Our connection.

“Skam France season 3 is…” M: Magical! A: Unique! We stuck with “-ique”.

“Of the both of us, it’s really Axel who…” M: Og the both of us, Axel is the one who…who…who… A: Hi. M: Who… A: Is afraid of snakes.

“Of the both of us, it’s really Maxence who…” M: Who’s very naïve. A: Why naïve? M: Well because I take everything at face value, and I got fucked over by things all the time. A: That’s true.

Interview with Axel Auriant and Anne-Sophie Soldaïni

“Question/Answer”

“Who do you play?” Axel: I play Lucas, in season 3. He’s lost in his sexual orientation, but yeah, he’s questioning his identity. Anne-Sophie: I play Chloé, a young girl who’s just starting high school and who falls in love with Lucas.

“Your character in three words?” A-S: She’s quite awkward, she’s in love, and she’s a little naive, she’s really naive. Yeah, extremely naive! A: Lucas is uh…he’s funny. You don’t think he’s funny? A-S: No, Lucas isn’t funny! A: You don’t think he’s funny? Ok. Well he’s lost, he’s in love, and he’s awkward.

“What do you prefer about the other character?” A: For Chloé, I’d say she’s touching, she’s really really cute, and she’s moving. A-S: He’s lost and awkward, and it becomes both annoying and moving. 

“The scene you had in common that you liked shooting the most?” A: It’s the scene where I’m supposed to lied to her by telling her that I’m in love with her and that’s why I’m awkward. A-S: The scene at the party…which is the first scene where you see the both of us.

They look at you like “But I knew you were going to fuck up!” and then you can’t say anything so you have to feel guilty. Yeah, but Lucas isn’t like that.
