René Angelil : René, l’homme qui savait rêver by Dany Bouchard The editions of the Journal 2016

Dany Bouchard, René, l’homme qui savait rêver /Dany Bouchard, René, the man who knew how to dream

The image is as strong as rare. In a plane flying over America, a radiant Celine Dion tenderly embraces her husband, Rene Angelil.

 A photograph which shows wonderfully privileged access to the famous couple that have had the Quebec media and René recounts in his book, the man who knew the dream journalist Dany Bouchard, who followed Céline's career for 10 years Le Journal de Montreal and Le Journal de Québec.

"This session was conducted in 1998. It's great as a touching picture. What other artists have opened the way for photographers? I do not remember having saw one Madonna photo session in her private jet, "says Dany Bouchard.

So noting the richness of photographic archives of the Journal de Montreal, one of the few media to have stepped through Céline since its inception, the project of writing a book about Rene Angelil was initiated, the last fall, a few months before his death. Dany Bouchard claims not to have had the pretension to write a biography of Angélil, an exercise already conducted brilliantly by Georges-Hébert Germain. "I rather watch 25 facets of this man that people have discovered after his death or that people thought they knew. It leads them further through testimonials and excerpts of articles written over all these years. "

The journalist evokes such consuming passion of René Angélil for poker.
"I hear lots of people on his death saying," Wow, He was a poker player! "In our head of journalists is of the acquis. We knew he was playing for a long time and he loved it. We thought it was a side of him to explore. "

The passion of the fans
The author adds that he also paid tribute to the passion for Celine fans.

"Celine fans are fabulous people, who work very hard to radiate Rene, Celine and her songs. In the book, I chose to make them a snap to them and their efforts, by publishing excerpts from some of Celine songs that illustrate the topics. Fans gave themselves backwards to translate, the fairest possible way, the lyrics sung by Celine, and these are the words that are in the book. "

The First Facts

Although the proximity of the Quebec media and Dion-Angelil couple was without comparison in the entertainment industry, Dany Bouchard says  René was the powerful manager He has never sought to manipulate journalists.

"He knew very well the role of journalists. I have always greatly appreciated. That does not mean that I wrote only positive things about René and Celine. I wrote things that did not necessarily make enjoyment.

But from the moment it was true, that it was not tinged with bad faith or with bad intentions, he acknowledged that the work was done, and that was it. "

Now that René Angélil is no more Does that the Quebec press will have the same access to Celine?

"In my head, it is clear that a page has turned in the Quebec and international show business. Things will be done differently, for sure. It was a fairly sole manager, if only as by openness with the media.

Will we the same access? It's a thing. But is that Celine will always be herself, open, honest, sincere and accessible? I'm sure yes. "
