To David Michel, contacted several times by Le Figaro since December 28, 2018, but who did not respond to our solicitations, the troubles do not stop there. It is caught by the bankruptcy of his previous show Hit Parade where he resurrected on stage, Claude François, Dalida, Sacha Distel and Mike Brant through their holograms. The Tribunal de Grande Instance of Metz, on the 12th of march next, there will be a trial that takes in the breath of the little world of the musical and, more broadly, in the performing arts. In front of the judges, and fifty musicians, dancers, devotion and fervour, technicians, sound, video operator, technicians, lights, actors and stagehands are asking to be paid for their work on Hit Parade . «The amounts claimed are 250,000 euros 350,000 euros damages and interest,» commented the lawyer of the employees, Sandra Renda.

David Michel, who produced this show via the company Flower Power Productions is indirectly concerned by this lawsuit. It opposes the fifty employees in the court appointed liquidator of Flower Power Productions, the SCP Noel Nodee Lanzetta.

«The employees who worked on the show Hit Parade are of good faith. They have performed their services and were denied other employment contracts. It should be taken into account.»

Sandra Renda, attorney for the employees of Flower Power Productions

Founded by David Michel on 19 November 2015 Flower Power Productions has almost immediately been in cessation of payments. Retroactively, the judges have set the date to December 1, 2015. For all that, beginning 2017, the show is showing at the Palais des Congrès in Paris. At first, the reception of the criticism is icy but the producer is launching a tour throughout France. It must take place from April 6 to June 18, 2017. As attendance continues to fall, only 18 of the 39 performances scheduled will take place. The last show takes place on may 20, 2017 to Bordeaux. On may 31, the TGI Metz pronounces the judicial liquidation of Flower Power Productions. The liability is estimated at 9 million euros. Normally, in the event of insolvency of a company, its liquidator requests the guarantee fund to settle the unpaid wages. But not this time. The liquidator believes that David Michel has signed the fifty CDD in the midst of «suspicious», a period during which he could not ignore that he committed his company well beyond its capacity to cash. No question in this case to push on the State and to pay such salaries with public money. To the liquidator, the CSD shall be considered invalid. The dancers, singers and other sound technicians don’t understand. «Why should they not be paid when they have fulfilled the conditions of their work contract? They are of good faith, points out Sandra Renda. They have performed their services and were denied other employment contracts. It should be taken into account.»

Interviewed by the Le Figaro , the representatives of the SCP Noel Nodee Lanzetta do not wish to speak. The trial opens on 12 march at 14 hours at the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Metz. There is no doubt that Sébastien Farran and Laeticia Hallyday will follow it closely.

another arm-wrestle court in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg opposed the SACD at H. I. P. E (Holographic International Productions Entertainment), the luxembourg company, David Michel, who had signed the contracts, copyright and contracts with the rights holders for the Hit Parade. For the SACD, it was to recover the rights of authors are not paid on this show. Last week, H. I. PE has filed for bankruptcy. The claims will therefore not be paid. The Luxembourg address of H. I. P. E is the same as that ofe the company Y2C Entertainment created for The Idol of young people. Has the SACD, it was surprised that the script of The idol of Young people has still not been filed in its database. That said, David Michel, who is the producer but also the writer of this show is not obligated to do. The Sacem, there is another subject of astonishment: the title of the opening Hit Parade is credited Gérard Daguerre on the album digital but credited Theo Adam on the physical album. No Theo Adam does not figure in the register of the Sacem. That may well be hiding behind this nickname?
