'I am' was one of Latina's reality shows that lasted the longest on the small screen. With 10 years delighting the Peruvian public, many imitators gained great fame after finishing the imitation program. One of them was Tony Cam, the imitator of the remembered Argentine singer Sandro. Despite this, it was not publicly known how much the artists' remuneration was; until now. Cam spoke with La República and was grateful to Ricardo Morán and the production of Latina and Rayo en labottle, as he pointed out that they do care about the singers on the program. We tell you this and more details below.
What did Tony Cam say about Ricardo Morán?
Let us remember that Tony Cam He participated twice in the Latina Television reality show, and on both occasions he managed to position himself as one of the favorites to win the golden microphone. However, it was not until 2016 that he established himself as the winner of the 'La revancha' stage. After that, contracts for him did not stop arriving and he spoke about whether he received external support from Ricardo Morán.
“Let's see, no financial support, no visual support either, but he has gone to my events. I'm going to lie to you if I tell you today if we are pinkies, no, there is no way; but suddenly he has 'pissed' me off on Instagram (laughs) Every time I have come across him, he has never been so direct, he has never been superb, excessive. Look, whoever tells you that is lying, because he was selling that character, but behind the scenes—excuse the word—Ricardo was a bitch.“he told this media.
How much was the remuneration of Tony Cam and other 'I am' imitators?
Despite the great public reception and the support of the sponsors, the imitators of 'Yo soy' did not receive remuneration other than that of the time on the open signal. For Tony, this was a very large investment of time that helped him in his artistic career; However, he said that his colleagues did not think the same. The production of the program finally considered the payment of travel expenses for the artists.
“Many colleagues started a plan to complain that they didn't pay, that they didn't give lunch, that they didn't give special attention. I told them: 'Look at it from this side, brother, how much does Coca-Cola, Movistar or Claro pay?' for appearing for 30 seconds on your show? And they give us all the time, it is a very big investment of time. Then you're going to have a lot of work getting out of here.' “I never felt mistreated or exploited in any way, rather I am grateful to them,” said. And he continued: “The production did a survey and paid travel expenses, but we had all the facilities, but as a Peruvian, we are used to complaining about everything. Even the locker rooms let us go. “Imagine, then, having to make a suit like Sandro's with a lot of shine and all that would cost me like 500 soles.”
How long did the recordings of 'Yo soy' last?
Like the first seasons of 'The Great Chef: Celebrities', the recording days were from Monday to Saturday and almost all day. However, Cam also specified that in the case of many imitators, the movement could be two days in a row and rest the other days of the week.
“We were scheduled at 8 in the morning, we went through the test of the three programs: sound check, stage set test, all that and then they sent us to rest. The recordings began at 2 in the afternoon, first program , and we ended up leaving around nine ten at night, sometimes. He was killed (…). It was from Monday to Friday, but there were days when we recorded two or three programs two or three days in a row. Then, they didn't call us again until a week later,” ended.
