The Place de l’Hôtel de Ville, the Beauregard district, the PSG Campus… What if it was Poissy, the real star of “4 Zeros”? In any case, the public was enthusiastic at the idea of seeing their city on the big screen on Tuesday October 22, during the preview organized at the Pisciacais C2L cinema, and above all to be able to interact with the film team on the sidelines. of the projection. Director Fabien Onteniente was accompanied by two of the actors of the feature film: Gérard Lanvin, who returns to his role of Alain Colonna, and the rapper Kaaris, who plays the crooked agent “DZ”.
In this sequel to the successful comedy “3 Zeros” (2002), the director of Camping recounts the growing influence of “foot business” in relation to popular football, via the confrontation between two generations of players' agents to manage the quarry of a nugget discovered, precisely, in Poissy. And if Fabien Onteniente set up his cameras in the city of Sant-Louis last March, it was notably under the advice of his friend Karl Olive, who also makes an appearance at the beginning of the film. “I have to associate with this partnership a person who is very important here at home, it is Karl Olive,” declared the director during the exchange with the public. He helped me put oil in the wheels with Paris Saint-Germain.” Several sequences were in fact filmed within the PSG training center, in which players like Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe appear.
They are not the only ones to pass a head in front of Fabien Onteniente's camera: among the countless cameos scattered throughout the 1 hour 45 minutes of the film, we will note the presence of numerous sports journalists or even big, well-known names in the world of football, from Rolland Courbis to Raï via Jean-Pierre Papin and even Guy Roux. Other personalities have more important roles like Shy'm or Mohamed Henni, with more or less success.
Once the film was over, the many children present in the room only had eyes for Kaaris, as evidenced by the young members of the Argenteuil football club who were glued to his sneakers as soon as he arrived. “I'm happy to see how much you appreciate it, because it's a very moving start to a career,” said Gérard Lanvin in response to the enthusiasm surrounding the rapper who is now on his fifth film. as an actor. He has the temperament to be able to do it.”
The actor, however, was not as complimentary about the production of the film, which was filmed just 7 months ago. “This film was difficult, we were not helped by a very friendly production which was often very absent,” he lamented. We had to fight to do it.” “We shot it in 8 weeks, even if it’s a film that normally deserves 10,” added Fabien Onteniente. We managed to do it on time.” It is perhaps these delicate filming conditions which, in the end, give “4 Zeros” the air of a TV movie.
