On the Croisette, there is sand, sun, the red carpet and… Eric and Ramzy. Far from the glitter and the photographers, the two friends with a clear sense of humor are nevertheless very comfortable in Cannes during the festival. Invited by TikTok, official partner, they created their first video content with, from the start, millions of views. “Cannes La Disco”, a TikTok show signed by Eric and Ramzy, is already popular just launched. How do two personalities like Éric and Ramzy have the secret of succeeding in everything they do? What is their relationship to cinema, to Cannes, to the platforms that are often attributed to “young people”?
“You have to be good for the 15-20 minutes that the show lasts, confides Eric to 20 minutes. Because we at the base, we saw ourselves going to eat with the guest, but no, you have to give everything because it is filmed. We feel them in their element, as if TikTok has always been present – in their hands. With their address book, Pierre Niney, Reda Kateb, Adèle Exarchopoulos and even Marion Cotillard, these are funny videos and their sauce, like never seen before.
“That was the most difficult thing for us, doing nothing with our day but giving everything at TikTok time,” Ramzy says. Their relaxed side did not fail to have an effect during the Cannes festival. “When you scroll on TikTok, you start it at 8 p.m., you put the kids to bed, and it’s already 11 p.m.… We managed to get by with my wife anyway. TikTok just pointed out that we don’t talk to each other anymore. Since then, we have stopped TikTok in bed…”, says Éric. So the secret for millions of views, wouldn’t it be to make it as natural as possible, without the fuss?
