Production
Summarize
Perspective
This is the first telenovela written by Rosane Svartman and Paulo Halm, authors of Malhação Sonhos and Malhação Intensa.[4] It was previously titled as Poderosa then later A Dona do Jogo but later it was named Totalmente Demais to go at par with the theme song's title.[5] Some scenes were recorded in Australia with Fábio Assunção, Juliana Paes, Humberto Martins, Vivianne Pasmanter, Marat Descartes and Fernanda Motta,[6][7] with some of them being shot were recorded in Opera House, Botanical Garden, Bondi Beach, Quay Restaurant and Harbour Bridge.[8] Initial scenes in Rio de Janeiro were recorded in Lapa, Benfica and Flamengo Park.[9][10][11][12] The municipalities of Cachoeiras de Macacu and Guapimirim in Rio de Janeiro also served as shooting points for first scenes of Totalmente Demais.[13][14] In April 2016, Marina Ruy Barbosa, Fábio Assunção, Juliana Paes and Daniel Rocha filmed scenes in Uruguay, in the cities of Punta del Este and Montevideo.[15] One of the prominent themes in the story was the inclusion of Funk carioca but due to the repetition of the subject in other telenovelas, it was drastically reduced to avoid thematic clichés.[16]
Casting and character development
Casting was done by Eduardo Milewicz, Rossella Terranova and Maria Roberta Perez.[7][17] To portray Carolina, Juliana Paes visited the publication chambers of the magazines Vogue and Marie Claire. [26][18] The telenovela had special appearance of Stênio Garcia as a truck driver Bino that aids Eliza (Marina Ruy Barbosa), leading her to Rio de Janeiro. Garcia also performed the same role in Carga Pesada. Carol Castro and Giovanna Ewbank also made a cameo appearances. Dira Paes was initially cast to portray Rosângela but due to her pregnancy, Malu Galli replaced her.[19] André Arteche was formerly to play the photographer Fábio, but Daniel Rocha portrayed it instead but as Rafael, a character inspired by the French poet, Arthur Rimbaud.[20] Sophia Abrahão auditioned for the role of the journalist Leila, but on realizing that she might not be among the protagonists, she turned down the offer and decided to dedicate her attention on her singing career. Carla Salle portrayed the role instead.[21]
