The second version of the novel Vale Todos came to an end last Friday (17), ending a trajectory marked by emotion, debates and much representation. Adapted by Manuela Dias, from the original work of Gilberto Braga, Agnaldo Silva and Leonor Bassères, production mobilized social networks with discussions on ethics, power and inequality — themes that remain as current as in the original exhibition. But among all the elements that drew attention, one of them was unanimous: Rio stole the scene and became the great protagonist of history.
Rio Film Commission's leading role is proven by the numbers raised by Rio Film Commission, linked to the RioFilm and the Municipal Secretariat of Culture. According to the organ, 226 external scenes were recorded in the city. The survey points even more than 300 days of filming outside the studio, which makes Vale All the novel with the highest number of external recordings among the recent productions of the station.
Neighborhoods that were featured in the new version
The locations spread across several neighborhoods, with emphasis on Glória, Barra da Tijuca, Vila Isabel and Ipanema, setting some of the most emblematic sequences. The look of the direction, signed by Paulo Silvestrini, transformed known landscapes into living characters of the plot, showing Rio in all its plurality, from its most traditional areas to modern and cosmopolitan regions.
Between one scene and another, the angles captured by the team revealed not only the natural beauty, but also the energy and cultural strength of the city. The impact of Vale Todo was so great that it reached the Carnaval, inspiring the creation of a carnival block in honor of the villain Odete Roitman, played by Deborah Bloch. Thus, the novel reinforces the power of Brazilian teledramaturgia — and confirms Rio as a privileged stage of the stories that mark the country.
