Nadav Palti, Dori Media Group\u2019s president and CEO, talks with<\/em>TV Formats Weekly\u00a0about the romantic comedy format\u00a0<\/em>My Lovely Hope (Esperanza m\u00eda)\u00a0and how the company is dealing with the title\u2019s somewhat risky subject matter<\/em>.<\/p>\n

My Lovely Hope<\/em>\u00a0(Esperanza m\u00eda<\/em>), the tale of a young woman who poses as a nun to elude a shady company and ends up falling for a hunky priest, captivated audiences across Argentina when it debuted there early last year. Now Dori Media Group is hoping the romantic comedy format will find the same success worldwide, albeit with some slight tweaks to the risky plot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are buyers in Catholic countries like the Philippines that saw the series and liked it, but then said, \u2018We cannot broadcast this\u2014please change it immediately so it will follow the Catholic religion more closely,\u2019\u201d says Nadav Palti, the president and CEO of Dori Media Group. \u201cCountries want to reproduce it, but just a little bit differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

The first to pick up the format rights has been TV Azteca in Mexico, which will hew closely to the original production save for one detail: the imposter nun and her priestly crush won\u2019t end up together.<\/p>\n

\u201cMexico is a very conservative, religious country,\u201d Palti explains. \u201c[The producers] want to make sure that the priest will not leave the Church because of this love. This is very important to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that change might end up being a boon for Dori. \u201cIt\u2019s very good for us, because thereafter we\u2019re going to have two very important [finished tapes]: one will be the Argentine original and the other will be the Mexican version that we can place in more conservative [territories],\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Palti says that buyers wary of the edgy story line should focus on the format\u2019s many extensions, which include the possibility of live shows, publications, music CDs and even a digital game.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I think will really lead to the success of this format is that it\u2019s what I call a total package,\u201d Palti says. \u201cIt\u2019s a musical, so it has excellent music, which you can sell by itself or have the performers from the show go from the screen to the stage. And in Argentina, we developed an internet game where if you win, you can get a CD of music from the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Palti, the key to exploiting the extension possibilities is in the casting; in the Argentine original, local actress and pop star Lali Esp\u00f3sito played the singing sister.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will get more out of the format if you have local actors who can also perform on stage,\u201d Palti says, adding that TV Azteca is looking to cast a lead that will fit the Esp\u00f3sito mold.<\/p>\n

With the Argentine finished tape already placed in countries as diverse as Israel, Poland, Spain, Vietnam and Indonesia, Palti hopes buyers will soon come calling for the format as well. He has his eyes set on Europe, where more liberal territories such as Germany, France and Scandinavia could opt for local adaptations.<\/p>\n

\u201c[My Lovely Hope<\/em>] is an example of excellent, groundbreaking content that has no borders,\u201d Palti says. \u201cThe story is about a priest in the Catholic Church, but despite this it\u2019s been very successful in Israel, a Jewish country, and also in Indonesia, a Muslim country. It\u2019s simply a unique program that can travel very well around the world and be seen by audiences of different religions, not just Catholics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
