Rachel Hazes hopes that SBS 6 will find the test recordings of her real-life soap interesting enough to order a series, but how much money can she ask for? “She should be happy with 50K!”
It’s hard to believe that someone who is so maligned still wants media attention so badly. Rachel Hazes has taken over a brasserie on the Spanish coast and she would really like to be followed in a real-life soap. Test recordings are currently being made and if SBS 6 likes it enough, they will order a whole series of episodes.
‘Isn’t it fun?!’
Evert Santegoeds, one of the experts in the SBS 6 Show News section, has no confidence in it. “Whoever came up with that… A docusoap about Rachel Házes, who is serving coffee. Isn’t that fun at all?” he sneers in the podcast Strictly Private.
He continues: “There is no opponent, there is no new man in her life, there is nothing at all, there is no longer a family that plays a role in it. And then you’re going to put the camera on Rachel Hazes! It will surprise me.”
What does she earn?
Colleague Jordi Versteegden, reporter for De Telegraaf, thinks that Rachel does this to recruit customers. “On the other hand, it is of course smart of her now that she is setting up that business in Spain to have it recorded.”
Evert then: “Of course. It is beneficial for her on all sides, but whoever watches it and who enjoys it… That seems strong to me. And what she earns with such a docusoap, yes, you have to serve a lot of coffee cups for that.”
50 thousand euros
Jordi wonders what Rachel wants for this. “Yes, then people want to know what you earn with such a docusoap. Is that around 50 thousand euros per season or more?”
In any case, you won’t easily make a profit like that with a brasserie, says Evert. She should be happy with that, he decides. “I think she can squeeze her hands if she gets that, because everyone also says: it’s advertising for your business there. But again: you have to serve quite a few cups of coffee for that…”
