“I struggled hard against save me with your face sounds to me and now I have to fight on Saturdays”

Manel Fuentes It is one of the fixed faces of antenna entertainment 3. Your face sounds to methe flagship of the chain, and tomorrow premieres ¡Salta!the new format with which to try to win the hole on Saturday night after piloting Catch one million. “It’s the new Fridays, a few years ago I had to fight hard against the Almighty Save

¡Salta! He tests the knowledge of general culture and also the courage of five contestants who compete to take a prize of 50,000 euros. Its objective is simple: cross an imposing 40 -meter -long bridge correctly answering ten rounds of questions. The premiere of ¡Salta!recorded months ago in Holland, coincides with the start of the filming of the new season of Your face sounds to me. “We started next week and we are very happy to return to àngel llàcer,” he tells Informalia. Florentino Fernández opens in the jury, who will occupy the gap left by Carlos Latre after his signing through Mediaset. “That was his decision, I feel a lot of respect for all those who dedicate ourselves to this. Each one chooses what he has to do in life.”

What is the best jumping of Salta?

There are different elements that make it attractive: the mixture of emotion, strategy and general knowledge. But it has an unpredictability point because, of the five contestants, nobody knows who is going to be the ‘controller’ of the bridge and who will be the first to compete and, therefore, who has more options to fall before anyone else. On the other hand, it has a very spectacular staging that some will remember one of the tests of the squid game.

It is true that he remembers the mythical proof of the squid game bridge …

I believe that the squid were copied (laughs). Aesthetically, Salta arrives at a good time and, above all, with a new version. When I saw the original format, I recognize that it seemed cold, but we worked by incorporating some elements to flow more. The Holland technicians, where we recorded, were stuck to television, discouragement, and said it was the best version that had been made.

How were the recordings in Holland?

Like a reality, because we all lived 24 hours for the program, but it has been a very rewarding experience.

What supposes Atresmedia trust you again for one of your prime time?

I am very happy. Antena 3 is very generous with the spectators, because it has issued a million, which was leader on Saturdays, and could have followed, but has decided to explore other formats. The chain is opening a new hole, because on Saturdays are the new Fridays. Your face sounds to me He fought hard against Save me on Fridays, which was almighty, and we managed to win that place, where he has later issued The challenge o The voice. Now it’s time to do some Sherpa on Saturday night [rivaliza también con Jorge Javier y Hay una cosa que te quiero decir]as I am doing with Catch one million y Saltaso that other colleagues may come to this strip. Antena 3 is the entertainment house, especially on Fridays and Saturdays.

Do you see yourself as a key piece of Atresmedia entertainment?

Yes, it’s what I like to do the most. I have done sports journalism, interviews … but in the last decade I am overturned in entertainment, because it is the healthiest there is.

You have been settled in Antena for many years. Other chains have tried to sign in recent times?

I am comfortable in Antena 3 because in life you value how they have been treating you and how evolution has been. In addition, it is a chain that gives me the guarantee because I know that you take care of the programs, as you have done with Your face sounds to mewhich is the most exported format of our country. The main reason for a change is that you are not well. If you are fine, for money is not the trip that touches me.

Soon you start recording the new edition of your face sounds to me. How do you face it?

We start next week and we are very happy to return to àngel llàcer. Now Latin is missing, but I am very happy to work, finally, with loose [Florentino Fernández]Because he wanted to coincide with him since he saw him in the Mississippi and I was in Martian chronicles.

Did you understand Latre’s march to Mediaset?

That was his decision, I feel a lot of respect for all those who dedicate ourselves to this. Each chooses what they have to do in life.
