OFICIAL, MAD MEN FINALIZARÁ EN SU SÉPTIMA TEMPORADA // MAD MEN WILL FINISH IN THE SEVENTH SEASON

AMC, el canal que emite Mad Men, ya ha llegado a un acuerdo con el creador y director de esta, Mathew Winer, después de meses de negociaciones donde la cadena ponía en aprietos al director por abaratar costes despidiendo actores ydisminuyendo duración de episodios, lo que quiere decir que metían mano en la serie y eso su director no lo quería consentir.

Así pues se ha llegado al acuerdo de que el primer y último episodio de la temporada durarán 47 minutos como hasta ahora, mientras que el resto será de 45 minutos como pedía la cadena. El mayor temor de Mathew era el despido de actores y como buen productor, consiguió ajustar la producción para solamente despedir por motivos creativos y no financieros, y parece ser que lo ha conseguido. Lo malo de los actores es que sus contratos durarán hasta la sexta temporada y tendrían que renovar para una séptima y última, que si la cadena continúa dificultando la producción, tendrían graves problemas para tener a todos los actores deseados.

Pero hasta entonces el director ha ganado, se embolsará 30 millones por las tres temporadas que restan de la serie y de momento tiene a todos los protagonistas con él. Las negociaciones han hecho que la quinta temporada se retrase desde verano del 2011 a principios del 2012.

No entendemos el motivo por el que AMC dificulta tanto la vida de la serie que le ha hecho ganar prestigio y reconocimiento, subiendo sus audiencias que hasta entonces no eran nada maravillosas y ayudando a que tenga mayor repercusión, como con su estreno de este año The Walking Dead, que ha batido los récords de la cadena. Es como si Fox dificultara la producción de American Idol y Glee.

Y no solamente en audiencias y premios ha sido un fenómeno Mad Men, sino que ha entrado en el mundo de la publicidad y del cine contagiando de la estética de la serie en pósters y desfiles de moda.

AMC, the channel of Mad Men, has already come to an agreement with the creator and the director of this one, Mathew Winer, after months of negotiations where the chain was putting in predicaments the director for lowing the price of costs dismissing actors, diminishing duration of episodes, which he wants to say that they were putting hand in the series and that his director did not want to withstand. 

So one has come to the agreement of which the first and last episode of the period they will last 47 minutes as till now, whereas the rest will be 45 minutes as he was asking for the chain. The biggest fear of Mathew was the dismissal of actors and as good producer, the production managed to fit only to dismiss for creative and not financial motives, and it seems that it has obtained it. The bad of the actors is that his contracts will last up to the sixth period and they would have to renew for the seventh and last one, that if the chain keeps on making the production difficult, would have serious problems to have all the wished actors. 

But till then the director has won, 30 millions will be pocketed by three periods that remain of the series and at the moment it has all the protagonists with him.

The negotiations have done that the fifth period is late from summer of 2011 at the beginning of 2012. 

We do not understand the motive for which AMC makes difficult so much the life of the series that has made him gain prestige and recognition, raising his hearings that till then were not wonderful at all and helping to that it has major aftereffect, as with his premiere of this year The Walking Dead, which has beaten the records of the chain. It is as if Fox was making difficult the production of American Idol and Glee. 

And not only in hearings and awards it has been a phenomenon Mad Men, but it has entered the world of the publicity and of the cinema infecting of the aesthetics of the series in posters and fashion shows.
