9 January (2018-01-09) – 30 July 2018 (2018-07-30)
Deus Salve o Rei (English: God Save the King) is a Brazilian telenovela produced and broadcast by TV Globo. It premiered on 9 January 2018, replacing Pega Pega, and ended on 30 July 2018. Created by Daniel Adjafre, it has artistic direction by Fabrício Mamberti, with the intention to capitalize on the success of Game of Thrones.
Agatha Moreira had been chosen as Amália's interpreter but was replaced by Marina Ruy Barbosa after TV Globo reassigned actors scaled initially to O Sétimo Guardião by Aguinaldo Silva, which was later cancelled after controversy over plagiarism.
Renato Góes was initially cast as Afonso, but left during the production stage and was replaced by Rômulo Estrela.
Set design
Originally planned that part of the cast would be sent to Europe to begin principal photography, the Globo management judged that, with the inflated high value of the euro, together with all the expenses that come with it in all the sectors in Brazil, it would exceed the estimated budget. Only the recording and effects team was sent out of the country to capture aerial scenes of the woods and mountains to be superimposed on scenes recorded in the Projac studios in Brazil. In March 2017, the recording crew traveled to Spain, Scotland and Iceland to capture the external scenes, as in ancient castles and historically preserved villages. The scenographic city was set up in the Globo Studios, in Rio de Janeiro, with a total of 1,8 thousand square meters. Scenes that were supposed to look external were actually filmed by chroma keying the images taken in Europe were digitally added, including forests, villages and pastures.
Plot
The medieval plot presents the fictional kingdoms of Montemor and Artena. The kingdoms have an agreement to supply water, which is scarce in Montemor but is abundant in Artena. In return, Montemor supplies ore to Artena. This agreement lasts until the death of the queen of Montemor, Crisélia (Rosamaria Murtinho), that will shake the peace between the kingdoms. Afonso (Rômulo Estrela) is the crown prince of Montemor and, from childhood, was raised to assume the throne; honoured and fair, he is the opposite of his younger brother—the irresponsible and inconsequential Rodolfo (Johnny Massaro), who only thinks about stewardship. After falling in love with a plebeian from Artena named Amália (Marina Ruy Barbosa), Afonso abdicates the throne, giving it to his unprepared brother. This makes relations with the neighbouring kingdom even more fragile. This will open the opportunity for Catarina (Bruna Marquezine) to expand her ambitious plans in Montemor. She is the spoiled and ambitious princess and daughter of the wise and benevolent King Augusto (Marco Nanini), of Artena.
