Ordoini’s 1986 interview
Enrico Ordoini was considered so professional in his branch that he was respected by everyone. After the release of the movie Yuppies 2, the director never missed an opportunity to give interviews, and in one he stated:
We’re conditioned by the great industry machinery of producers who always want the same stories and actors who don’t want to abandon their characters because they don’t feel safe or enticed by the conditions and contingencies that arise in the marketplace. So you do the same thing over and over again. We must therefore be careful when proposing new things: make sure that no one notices. Woe to the screenwriter who comes to the producer with a new story.
