The Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu series, which was broadcast on TRT1 screen last season, was a great success. Shooting will begin soon in the Alparslan series, which is a continuation of the series.
Emre Konuk, who is the head of Akli Film, has made a great effort for both projects… The series Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu has brought a great experience and reached a wide audience in the country as well as abroad. Emre Konuk also explained how effective the series was with an example.
Speaking to Sina Koloğlu, one of the writers of Milliyet, director and producer Emre Konuk said: “In the last 20 years, we have realized that cinema is an industry. Today, Turkey has entered the top three in the world’s cinema and TV series industry. The closest example of this is ‘Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu’… It was translated into Spanish within the week of its publication. Because the Latin market shows great interest in our serials.”
In these words of Emre Konuk’s interview, you can understand how much attention the Uyanış Büyük Selçuklu had attracted abroad in the first week.
Getting the Spanish translation to follow the series in South America has been an amazing example of speed and impressive success.
The Turkish TV series industry still has a long way to go. Emre Konuk thinks that the Turkish TV series industry, which is not in a superior position in terms of numbers, is in a very good situation in terms of quality.
