Velho Chico
Velho Chico (English title: Old River) is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo from 14 March 2016 to 30 September 2016.
Created by Benedito Ruy Barbosa, Edmara Barbosa and Bruno Luperi, and co-written with Luis Alberto de Abreu. Directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho and co-directed by Carlos Araújo, Gustavo Fernandez, Antônio Karnewale and Philipe Barcinski.
Velho Chico faced unprecedented challenges during its production; with Umberto Magnani and Domingos Montagner deaths. On the wake of Montagner's passing on 15 September 2016, two weeks before the scheduled show's finale, production entered in turmoil.
Starring Antonio Fagundes, Camila Pitanga, Domingos Montagner, Rodrigo Santoro, Selma Egrei, Tarcísio Meira in the lead roles. And Rodrigo Lombardi, Fabiula Nascimento, Chico Díaz, Christiane Torloni, Marcos Palmeira, Dira Paes, Irandhir Santos, Gabriel Leone, Giullia Buscacio, Lucy Alves in supporting roles.
The show received positive reviews for its surrealist account of contemporary live in the Brazilian sertão. And was nominated for an International Emmy Award for Best Telenovela in 2017.
In 2009, Benedito Ruy Barbosa submitted to Rede Globo the synopsis of possible telenovela set at the São Francisco River but after evaluation by the network, the story was considered too political. Barbosa hoped to shoot it the following year in the 9 pm time slot.
In 2015, the project was approved by Rede Globo and was set to premiere just after Êta Mundo Bom! at 6 pm timeslot. Rogério Gomes was later announced to direct but on request of the show's author and O Rei do Gado reprise's success, Luiz Fernando Carvalho was offered to direct.
Initially, a telenovela by Maria Adelaide Amaral was supposed to replace A Regra do Jogo but due to its heavily politically-themed storyline—it being an election year—Velho Chico was moved to the primetime timeslot and Amaral's show moved to late 2016.
