Musician, actor, translator, creative, approximate family man and caring father. List all the talents and advantages of Alexei Kortnev for a long time. For example, our interview began when Alexey walked along with the children from the pond. True, then it was decided to talk in the warm room, because it became quite cold on the street.
- What kind of caring father are you. Tell me, Alexey, and who more often walks with children - you or their mom?
- It depends. Today I decided to get out with my daughter Aksigni and her two girlfriends who came to visit us. When we are at the cottage, we try with Amina (Amina Zaripov's spouse, - approx. Aut.) Walk together. But Amin is now in training, working days continue. Therefore, I am responsible for children now.
- The long New Year holidays came, many people are already tired of relaxing, sitting on quarantine. What to do to not go crazy?
- I think that in the winter there are still a way to entertain. The most important thing is not to sit at home. And ... do not pick up from morning to night. (Laughs.) There are skates, mountain and cross-country skiing. All this in our Moscow region works perfectly. Just on the pond girls skating. I just watched them, because I have no skates, but still we played in the salts. I felt fine with rubber calories in the boots with rubber calories and never fell. So there are definite ways to distract from home seating. (Smiles.)
- And why without skates, you even somehow participated in the show "Ice Age"?
- Yes, I participated, but I am not very successful. Almost at the very beginning of the project fell and broke my two ribs. And two more cracked. Therefore, I did not improve the relationship with skates. That is, I still had a few more time on them (I remember, I was shot in the movie, where I had to ride on the skates), but still it was without pleasure. Let's say, I prefer the boots. (Laughs.)

- Admit, and today are you ready to agree to similar show projects such as the "Ice period"?
- No, I do not agree to the Ice Show. Because I feel not quite in that physical form for this suitable. If it were connected with some other sport - for example, with mountain skiing, golf or bowling, it would be agreed with pleasure. After all, there I feel much more confident.
- During a pandemic quarantine, many musicians remained without work. I first wanted to ask, and how things are with you, but remembered that you have a lot of parallel opportunities earnings and professions ...
- In general, yes. There are quite a lot of projects that do not allow to get bored at all. I do the fact that the guys now have established such confident online concerting. For example, we had a concert yesterday, which was broadcast from our own studio. And tomorrow will also take place. And people, our fans, treat it with great joy.
- You, like many musicians, tie a map, and the fans help who and what can? Or do you give free concerts?
- No, it is corporate. And customers somehow agree with our director. (Smiles.) Such public online concerts we have not played. But we want to start doing this in the new year. It is obvious that you need to master this form. In the new realities it will be necessary.
- That you told about today's involvement of the group. And personally, you continue to indulge in translations - how, for example, did it happen to the sensational musical "Beauty and the Beast"? And how is things going with fairy tales today? Is there something on the approach - like your Maschat-Gorbunk's Mkat?
- Now with great success is the performance of Prime-Time in the Moscow Theater of the Musicla, which was made by a group of persons. It includes: a wonderful Canadian composer Maxim Lepaash. Canadian - because this performance is created in collaboration with the Canadian theater "Seven Fingers". Therefore, the choreographer Genevieve Dorion-Kupal, and the director of Sebastian Slandeville, too, from there. I wrote poems. Now the performance is wonderful. This is a completely new job.
- Do you continue to work with advertisers? And does it bring to you as an artist's satisfaction?
- Occasionally some companies are invited me. But for professional agencies, I have not done anything for a long time. This is usually private queries from friends-comrades. And I am pleased to help. Although I understand that if this is not done constantly, if not to be aware of the world trends in the field of advertising, then, of course, you fall out of popular and professional closure. A constant training is needed, as in any other professional activity.
- A few years ago, you said that now any text from those you wrote in youth can write in 5 minutes. But it was necessary to do in youth. Why and how is it written today?
- Probably I can, but I do not want. For this, you still need a youthful inspiration. Any youthful dust. Now my biological time is completely different. I want much more suspended and thoughtful things, and they do not always come to mind. What is written? Now it is not written at all. For all the time Quarantine I wrote two to three text at best. And that, I can not say that I am satisfied with them. I now have such a pause - nothing significant is written.
- You just mentioned about your biological clock. How do you feel today?
- I feel quite myself at my age, for all my 54 years. (Laughs.) But it's hard for me to compare with something, because I don't know how to feel myself, I live this age for the first time. How should a person feel fifty years old? Probably because I am. (Smiles.)
- But are you satisfied with your feelings?
- You know, not quite, because I want, of course, do without injury. I continue to play sports and began to be injured much more than before. Obviously, this is due to age, with overweight, so that the joints weaken. But this is such a fee for the desire to continue an active sports lifestyle.
- Are you an adherent of a call?
- Not as much as a call how much sport. I love skiing, golf, as I said. I spend all my free time. And somehow it adds all health. (Laughs.)
- Amin shares these your hobbies?
- Yes, it is quite. Golf and skis are all our common hobbies.
- You still continue to practice the Colo-Vada program with the family, contributing to, as they say, the weight loss and the conclusion of slags from the body?
- For several years we did not do this. Perhaps I will return to Kolo-Vada. But I generally try to eat more or less correct, so sometimes it is a hobby is useful, now I adhere to healthy nutrition, so I don't need Kolo-Wada.
- And what did you have on the New Year's table, since you eat right now?
- Oh, you know, on the New Year's table everything was as always. (Laughs.) On New Year's Eve, you can afford to forget about a healthy lifestyle, well, at least for a few days. (Laughs.) Then return to this case. And so - on the New Year's table there was all the soul wished.
- Why do our people do not think a New Year's table without tangerines and the Salad "Olivier"? Heritage of the USSR?
- It seems to me that since the new year is traditionally a family holiday in Russia, he replaces Christmas and is designed to unite around himself and Christmas tree family, friends, children. So, like any traditional holiday, it is filled with rituals: Fight of the Kurats, the speech of the President, "Olivier", champagne, tangerines, decorated with Christmas tree. These are all phenomena of one row. On another day, you mind to eat so much "Olivier" or crab salad, in general, to eat so much mayonnaise. (Laughs.)
- And what do you think about the confusion about the New Year's show? If shorter, then who or what will save "blue lights"?
- I think that "blue lights" will not save. As well as television in general, nothing will save. Television in the form in which we know it, lives their last decades with their viewer. Now the TV is watching the audience of forty plus. Let's wish our long-life fellow citizens. Let those whom the forty plus will live for another 50 years, here 50 years will still smoke the sky television, becoming worse and stuck. And then everything, goodbye! Its place will take another - interactive, much more diverse tool for information delivery. Such as the Internet, and what will come to shift. Undoubtedly, something will occur in this area. So, I think "Blue lights" are now made for 50-70-year-old people. Therefore, there is absolutely nothing to do with youth performers. My mom will definitely won't watch Vasya Basta. She absolutely does not need this performer, like sellerating cords. And those who need it, they will see all these performers on the screen of their computer.
