This reveals how people admire Juan Gabriel and trust the production companies. It is very moving to see how a production is bought on paper, even before clients see it.Meanwhile, Francisco Cordero, CEO of BTF Media, assured that this production received a strong economic investment, which is why we achieved a high-quality product, that met the requirements of our client, Disney Media. It was a great advantage for the scripts to be ready before shooting, in order to produce more fluently, managing to have one episode per week. It took two years of pre-production and is now ready to be broadcast.The series had three directors: Álvaro Curiel, Rigoberto Castañeda and Alfonso Pineda. It is divided in three stages (childhood, youth and adult life) represented by Pablo Azar, Manuel Mauad and Julián Román, respectively.It was shot in 100 locations in Mexico and includes more than 3 thousand actors.
