(Q - Tikimousse: Hello Michel. In fact, I have a question for you. I have the feeling of being in the right place because I see lots of things there. On the other hand, I
I have the feeling that having understood certain things in Max's process, it's a smokescreen for me. Do you understand what I mean or not?)
MB: The smoke screen, I imagine a little, but... Specify.
(Q - Tikimousse: Did, for example, perhaps understand why Max, while walking in a place, said to himself "Oh damn, this is crazy thing and that he built his enigma around that, that, in fact, as a result, I would almost have, how to say, the place without knowing how to get there So, from this place? …)
MB: Yes, I see, I see, I think I have... I think I pretty much understand. I can't imagine Max saying, wow, this thing is crazy. Max operated on elements he knew, in a cold and calculating manner. Max is not someone who operated by saying, this thing is crazy. I'm not insulting him at all, I'm not insulting his memory by saying that, but he was someone who was very calculating, who did things out of interest, a lot. Which is very different from what an artist can sometimes do. I'm not saying that the artist is an enemy of his interests, but there are times when he forgets them a little. He wasn't. He operated in a calculated manner, with extreme composure and perfect knowledge of the place on which he was going to set his story.
(Q - Tikimousse: Okay, but his story, you say that he is literary, that he is a literary person.)
MB: So that's phase 2. Phase number 2 is what the product is, how much it costs, how much you have to sell it. He is the communicator. There, we return to the character's profile. This is the first phase. Phase 2 is how I sell it. So if I say that it's steel, that it's solid, that it's something, yeah, it's not bad.
But if I say that on contact, it's particularly pleasant, if I start to embellish it a little, it will still put oil in the wheels and it will sell even better. That was its foundation.
Does the image speak for itself?
(Q - Tikimousse: Yes in fact for me, it was more than in my imagination, but I think I have too much imagination, in my imagination in fact the place had evoked something for him in fact, not at all?)
MB: No, no, I don't think it worked by evocation in the least.)
