25 years of "friends": "They all worked very hard"

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the launch of the popular series "Friends", the studios of "Werer Brothers", producer of the popular work, take many initiatives, including the recreation of many decorations in an apartment of Manhattan.

The famous orange sofa of the Central Park Cafe, the black leather seats of the apartment of Chandler, Joey and Guitar Vibe are all gathered in this transitional space dedicated to Friends, launched Saturday in New York.

Warner Bros. decided to fuel the popularity of the series 15 years after its last episode (1994-2004) by presenting episodes of reference in more than 1,000 cinemas in the United States, introducing furniture and toys inspired by work and copies of the orange sofa in many markets. Worldwide.

But the production studios have dedicated a major initiative in New York, where the series takes place even though it was entirely shot in California.

In a large loft in Soho, south of Manhattan, she used many original pieces protected by glass facades to create the setting for this very famous series.

Tickets were reserved for the entire show until October 6th. Visitors can take selfies by the famous leather seats by opening the door of Rachel and Monica's apartment.

"It's a museum," said James Michael Tyler, who was playing the Gunter server in Central Park. "The details here are unreasonable (…) I am also saddened to see these works, I miss them and remember many things."

The exhibition allows to pay attention to the small details of the producers who went up to print a magazine with Joyie on the cover and invitation cards for the wedding of Chandler and Monica.

Paradoxically, despite their disruption 15 years ago, Friends continues to attract new viewers, some of whom were born after the show began.

Dominique Karisti, professor of communication at Pal State University, in Indiana, explains that Friends is one of the few series to have a "cumulative" audience, to which viewers, commentators viewers and subscribers to Netflix.

The program is thus an exceptional case on the current television scene and a cultural reference shared by several generations, before the audience of the television company is fragmented.

"I'm recognized in many places," said Maggie Wheeler, who plays Janice's voice. "Today, I see children of 12 or 13 years getting acquainted with me, which is impressive."

The secret of the success of the series is due to several factors, despite some criticisms concerning the lack of diversity of its representatives or certain phrases that are no longer appropriate at the moment.

The success of the comedies continues more than the drama in the long run, says Stephen Engel, who has worked on several successful series.

"When an episode of CSI is reviewed, the audience knows who the killer is, but the humorous series can be viewed multiple times and laugh again."

Michael Lambick, who has directed 24 episodes of Friends, explains that the secret is that the public is left with action figures. "There is writing, acting and production, but you never know when this meeting will take place – it's a miracle."

"The six main actors" had 30 to 35 failures (as part of other series) before meeting each other and the enchanting harmony occurred, he said.

"There were six young people who care about each other and respect each other, they all worked very hard."

He says that with the beginning of the second season and turn them into stars "do not cheat and keep working hard."
