- What is the main thing for you today?
- Exceptionally interest. Because with age, there are still hooks. After all, it used to be curiosity in its pure form, then it was a financial component that, unlike the theater, is quite good. Now only interest. Many projects offer, read scenarios, but if not cling, I feel free to say "no". And this interest is less and less. Whether I am older, or he lit. (Laughs.) I do not know.
- "Menting Wars" are over, there is no regret for the already?
- No regrets. I was the first one who shouted that they should be finished after the third season, then after the fifth, seventh. And in the eleventh season, the initiative of the final, perhaps not what he turned out to be in the end when the hero was destroyed, came again from me. But the hero was still not killed. Producers are talking about continued, however, it will be already on another platform, most likely the Internet. I, honestly, even nodded my head, saying that I agree. Although internally was against it. But I agreed only for eight episodes. We were still in summer such an agreement. But no more information and movements in this side are not. Therefore, he will not be - no one knows. But producers, actors, scripts, gathering together, said - yes. Type, let's try to put a point. But internally afraid to continue, it is honest. Died, so died.
- Are you constantly removing that now on the approach?
- There were many projects, there are, for example, "vampires of the middle strip." I can only say the name. And all! Not yet.
- Clear.
- In parallel, the historical drama "White Snow" was filmed, based on real events. There are intrigues who will win who is not. A film about Elena Vyalbe, about the world championship, about her five gold medals. About her life-fate and about the fate of the Russian national team on skiing from 1994 to 1997. I play her coach. There are still pictures under the names "Killer", "Hospital with a view or method of Mikhailov." But now we got rigidly. Stood strongly. There are, of course, permissions, allegedly official, that guys, take off, but the list of conditions that the producer must perform there before the group - and this is a distance of one and a half meters, actors in masks, separate dressings, separate cars, full isolation from each other "I think the project organizers will not decide for this, will still wait." After all, it increases the budget of the picture. Not as, in the cost of financial and energy. And for the organization make big shooting almost impossible. Therefore, here, too, we are sitting and waiting for what will happen to the Russian cinema. Theater is just in a deplorable state. Because even if from September we will go to normal mode, it is clear that the process of rehearsal interrupted, old works require recovery, and the entire tour of the chart, which collapsed, all financial obligations, and this is not a week, signs for a year. Now I'm trying to put concerts for October, this is me about the group. And the rates fly towards the plinth, because people are afraid to risk. And now it is not clear whether we will go to Surgut for the money that we will be offered. Probably no, because the railways rose, air transportation, too, and everything related will have other prices. And they will be more. Therefore, the only thing that can be shrink, is a wandering theater, a kibitka, two horses. Where are we come? We all understand that you need to reduce the price of tickets in order to return the viewer. Because the theater, let's speak honestly, not the main product consumer. This is not bread, not milk. When people go to the theater, dropping the cargo of their financial problem pits, it will also need to understand. Prospects, on the one hand, there is, with a telly, rainbow sounds, but nothing happens in this direction. It is necessary to understand how it all will happen. It's all interesting, it is curious to go through these faces, see what happens to how the audience perception will change. After all, everything is destroyed quite quickly. And all things about which no one speaks on TV, they will stand on the rails last. And we do not feel support from the government. Interesting, yes, undoubtedly. But it will be more interesting to go closer to October, when the artists stop living on their accumulated resources, and they will begin to melt by September.
- But the actor needs to be always in shape. Tell me, are you at home rehearse? And in general, how are you preparing for a role?
- Differently. And if earlier I could say that I can't get ready, today I can not say. Projects require physical efforts, therefore hiking is needed. It comes to understand that after six in the evening should already refrain from food. Once again, the bread will postpone. Already needed for its external form to follow. And such heroes in forty-three play everything is harder and harder. All with regard to preparation from the point of view of "white snow", for example, that is, a huge amount of documentary materials, we met with girls, now women who defended the honor of Russia. Unfortunately, my hero, coach, is no longer alive. But I met with his son. Called, watched photos, listened to stories to take the character, soaring in order to be reliably. The kitchen to all roles is always different. But it is. And there is a method of such, up to "from the opposite". It is called, do not read the script, and then at the premiere will be boring. (Laughs.) It happens so that I do not even read. But if I were a teacher, I would not tell you students. It is impossible. (Laughs.) But this method is also there.
- So you no longer allow yourself a lot and stick to the head?
- Yes, I do not allow. You can even honestly declare, I did not announce it, but here, through you, you can. I dropped drinking and smoking from the new year. For me it is important, since the experience of smoking is 30 years old. And the rejection of the cigarette is not physical attachment, but psychological. Moreover, the most powerful one. I understand, there is a huge number of simply reflex states. For example, the "Stop" team in the frame is the cigarette right there. Morning coffee is a cigarette. Therefore, I am now on moral and volitional. Threw not smoothly, but just once - and cut off. Now I drink and do not smoke, which is incredibly happy. And every day I say myself that I was well done. Praise yourself. (Laughs.)
- Did you feel better?
- I do not know. I think so, because now I go to the boxing room and notice improvements, but perhaps this is an illusion. (Laughs.) After all, last year, seven or twelve rounds to stand for two minutes was hard. Now calmly standing. I do not die from hypoxia, I do not choke.
- most importantly, believe in what you are doing!
- Absolutely!
- How serious do you have this kind of sport, boxing today?
- Right as therapy associated with throwing smoking, it is the dynamic physical activity on all muscle groups and lungs, first of all, everything is regulated here. A minute rest, three work. Morning begins with a visit to the hall. I have already drawn away. Although when I quit smoking, I began to weigh in a hundred kilo. Interestingly, it's more difficult to jump in the supestage, you walk more. But it is so serious that I'm thinking about some amateur competitions. But there are shooting days next, so I can not afford it yet. After all, opponents are serious there. Flying can fly well. Especially when the guys are under a hundred kilograms, everything can end seriously. Therefore, I want, and ourselves, but did not dare until. You can safely talk without leaving the ring that, of course, I would have broken all, but in fact I don't think so, because the guys are engaged in, masters, age, but in good shape.
- I understood correctly, did you quit smoking and recovered?
- Yes, but I'm going to come into shape, I do it every day. And quietly, it seems to me, I come back. In general, I have a room for a schedule every day.
- You are also the owner of the famous St. Petersburg bar. Not so long ago for you it was a new and unknown type of business. Is everything already happening today? Secrets less or no longer?
- There are secrets, because the Russian business is walking through a minefield. It is not clear where and where will arrive. What laws will be inventing, what and where will happen. If a person starts to say, he knows how it all works, he is probably either a fifteentifier and writer, or a lover of delight. Because, the further, the more I understand that this is some kind of constantly changing story. We have no stability in the economy. Accordingly, the new year, the time after it, the summer, influxing tourists, the weather went raining, the sun looked out, the atmospheric pressure was changed, as "Zenit" played - this all affects the work of the bar, the mood of visitors, on what they drink and how . All this needs to be caught as a surfer wave, stand on this blackboard with two legs. And there is always an option that you can be under water. But nothing terrible, get up again on the board and went further. Therefore, I can't say something to know and comprehend. There is nothing.
"But you never regretted that the bar opened, is it an additional load, in addition to the benefits?"
- I do not have such a manner - regret something. It is some empty pastime. Do not like - close and go on. For my joinery, I had such thoughts. Somehow himself said that another year, and if so, I imagine it myself, I would not go, then I probably will be hand and closed. Because last year was heavy. There were many loss of financial, mental, physical, physical. And at some point I thought, but is it worth it?
- Under the carpentry, do you mean production to restore antique furniture?
- This is the restoration of antique furniture, and its production. In general, the thoughts of such come - to celebrate. They arise, honestly, once a year. Then it becomes a little better, you think; That's good, then you go to zeros again, then the minus go, and you hesitate to close again. Unstable exists not only in the bar business. Here it is necessary to be either a politician or pop, then there will be stability in your economy. After all, they are not taxed. (Smiles.) True, in connection with the established situation, I tried to write letters about the fact that we were injured, hoping to reduce taxes, but with all the speeches of beautiful from the TV, it turned out that we were not the affected party. Although by calling Putin, I paid the salary with my workers and let them go, thinking that we will then remove it from the Bar's shoulder or rent for this period of downtime, or will make some rental holidays, or there will be a relaxation in reducing the rental rates. I thought it would be until 2021. And we will say: guys, digit, because you are raw business. And everything, as I thought, the country perfectly understands the importance of Russian production and will support us. But it turned out when everyone was considered, we are not the affected party. And no one has reduced the rental. So I am fighting with the landlords, who, too, everyone understands perfectly, but rely on the laws of the Russian state. In general, I received only 12 thousand rubles of state aid, but as an actor. Now I stand before the question stop production. I just afraid that the customers would not run, who were sitting and waited for all this time where to make furniture. There will be a decline in orders. Italians and Germans, having received their subsidies, quickly stand on their feet and will be lucky with us, filling out the market. We cannot compete with them. Therefore, here we can talk about the large segment of the raw business in the zeros. I am not a single character. In addition, Belarus, who did not stand in the day, breaks into our business, buying everything from us: machines, sawdust, remaining boards. In this case, Belarus economically remained in a stable version. What will happen, I do not know. The thoughts that with minimal losses simply sell this business. This is me to the fact that there will be a final point in large production. And I will go underground. To some cellars, pick up a pair of machines and try to keep the toys, a museum, and all, with this associated.
- And with the production of wooden gift and collectible soldiers, you do not have any problems?
- With the soldiers of doubts there are no, firstly, because there are no such big bets, and secondly, you have it, the soldier, ordered, you made it and sent it. This does not mean that I have a warehouse with millions of soldiers that I need to implement. Therefore, there is an "instagram", which herself works calmly. The application came, prepayment, the soldier is manufactured, signs. And there is no such race, everyone understands that this is handmade, waiting, no one asks to do tomorrow. We are even sometimes impregnated, customers are waiting for two weeks, because I have a connecting. There are no risks. And with all the rest, the other, because the rental is stupid. You work or do not work, your landlord is waiting for the payment of a penny. Yes, and eight workers also want to get a salary. And they do not care if you have orders or not.
"You are also the leader of the Ekibastuz Group, why did you decide to create a musical team?
- We have been four years old. I have two stories about creating: cheerful and sad. (Laughs.) Start with sad. Somehow I found myself without the main work in the movie. Something fell off, something flew away, did not take place. As a result - half a year of downtime. There was a desire to play something. And among themselves honestly agreed with the guys that we exist in free swimming to the first concert. We rehearsed, gathered, and after the first concert they asked themselves, do we like it? And do we want to continue this? Whether we want to become successful in terms of commerce, in terms of recognition and something else there. And then I spoke naturally by producer of my own group and myself. For me it was new, for the first time. Because the actor, he as if played in the project and went to the side, and then there is a huge number of people who tell us how good you are and why it needs to be watching. I have in mind advertising. And becoming the producer to myself, I suddenly realized that I should learn to tell about myself, like, listen, what a good musician I am, which is awesome, it is cool. (Laughs.) And, honestly, I did not understand how to do it. Then I realized that brains need to switch to the producer mode and understand that this is a kind of game. You just need to shove this song on the radio. Or persuade people to listen. This is a little another story. And it would be very easy, I could probably sell any other group, but with my ... When you talk about yourself, somehow weird yourself and praise yourself. Honestly, we are not very well playing. (Laughs.) But ignore. Therefore, all my movements in this side are not very similar to advertising. For me, the most difficult thing is to produce. And now we are not so often playing, as I would like, but I still do not lower your hands. It seems to me that this is - that's somewhere something should click, break through, something happen. But it is these misconceptions and allow me to do it.
- You said you do not affect economic issues, and who contains a group today?
- She is on self-sufficiency. We still work for fees, we sell tickets for our concerts. And then I will say that I am a good producer, because I know the bands who are twenty-five years old, and they can not afford to play for the same fees. The story works here that I have a famous actor, people know me, do not need to explain for a long time, people can come and see the live artist, it works too. But we can afford to ride, play absolutely free, for example, at some festivals. For example, on the "invasion" we have already come to the third year with great pleasure, realizing that we can afford it, and it's great.
- The name of the group is the tribute to your small homeland?
- In the end, too, yes. Because, after all, when I called the Ekibastuz group, I did not think that everyone knows what it is. What is the city. And for me it was something that is connected with my youth. It was more than just geolocation for me. In Japanese, there is a hieroglyph, which means the impression that you received in childhood and the younger, which influenced the formation of your personality. And it is determined by one word. There is no such thing in Russian. But we seem to understand that there is the first love, the first fight, instructing the father, all this with the prefix "first". And this is your skeleton. The core of what you consist. For me, Ekibastuz is this word "first." This is Viktor Tsoi, rewritten from the cassette, and the first blood, the first guitar, the first strings torn on it. Something like this. In general, when called, for me it was such a hieroglyph. And when they ask me about it, then, in the end, yes is the name of my city. Subsequently, perhaps in Russian and such a hieroglyph will appear, which will mean an emotional charge received in childhood. (Laughs.) And influenced you in adulthood.
- What style play a group, how would you call it today? Previously, you said that your style is Soviet Funk? What your icon is an orchestra under the control of Georgy Garanian, something else from the arrangements of Vysotsky, the same "ships" ...
- everything is more difficult and harder for me to answer this question. As soon as I say the name, everyone starts to argue with me right away, saying and assuring me is that it is not. I do not participate in these disputes. Because it is absolutely sure that the genre defines critics, and we just play. Somewhere then they will determine you, do not doubt. (Laughs.) From the point of view of stylistics of a particular composition, we tried a lot of things. But go further. Now one song was done in Bosanov. But this does not mean that this is our style. Still, if you call our style in one word - no, one no longer succeeds - this is St. Petersburg rock, and these are two words. (Laughs.) I designated it for myself. And when you say Peter, it gives us the title of St. Petersburg Rockers, and they are all different enough, and no one has a clear association, in what style they all played. And everyone calms down, without understanding that it is.
- Who composes in the group? Why don't you perform your compositions?
- Because initially I have two companions, fellow countrymen from Ekibastuz, they have long come and sing with which we exchange songs. When we formed the first album, were used, mostly, those songs that I heard them and which I liked. So I wanted to sing them. Now this is so smaller. But, in principle, we appeal to the authors. Now one such experimental album is called Moscow Love. He was associated with the fact that I was absent for a long time, could not rehearse with the group. I was on set in Moscow. And in Moscow, it shoved with a huge number of metropolitan musicians, authors, composers. There was such a story about trying to write something here. But it was not yet an album. It was a thought. First, one, the second, third song appeared. And they are stylistically very different from those that we do with the group. But we sing them at concerts. And I decided to allocate them, calling Moscow love, as a result, now the sixth song on the approach that I also like. I heard her and now I will record it in Moscow. I do it, because, digging in myself, we dig in yourself, and when you work after all the same with professional composers and musicians, something third arises that you can't even think of you, because it is not in you. It is offered to you. And it is interesting. This is an experience. Therefore, I noted this by a separate album. But he has the right to be. Because these are professionals, because we would not do that. We do not know how. How young guitarists do not know how to play calmly. They were told to play, they gave all the pentatonic, back and forth, everything inserted. And experienced and serious Pasha Chekhov, Kostya Minin found her note. It is interesting to work with them, I hope with me. I hope it is not unilaterally.
- What on quarantine happens to the team?
- Many musicians and artists buried. They can be understood, the concert activity will be closed, most likely for a long time. And it will open, in any case, the last, like theaters. And when all the artists rushed in "Instagram" to record songs and broadcast something, we decided to absolutely spontaneously spend the first online concert. Alerted people only through "Instagram". In general, decided to play. Tied the magic card donates tied there. In general, the normal bunch of money was made. Naturally, it cheated us. Because we just made an open rehearsal, somehow configured the equipment. The sound, understandable, was so-so. But the following concerts are preserved on the network, and our growth is visible. (Laughs.) In three days, we immediately gathered and played a concert, and not open rehearsal. And, as ticked the card, the next concert was noticed. And by the time of this isolation, we have played the sixth gala concert. Following our concerts. Vysotsky songs and war songs were played. Hit a hit parade among the played songs. They were about thirty. We are waiting for the end of self-insulation, which is about to come. This is joyful news. The pros in this is. Considering that Spain, Greece, Israel, Germany, were watched by Spain, we went to the international level. It is clear that these are Russian-speaking people, but the coverage is still impressive. Such a touring schedule would be able to afford not soon. And then the Internet space gave a powerful impetus about the recognition of the group. Well, accordingly, "Our Radio", "Chartova Dozin", "Radio Chanson", now "road radio" is going to put our songs on the air. I do not know how other guys-musicians, but we have a splash. About the fact that we will play six concerts per month, three months ago I could not afford to think. Because we played in St. Petersburg twice a year, our viewer was exhausted. And here the internet borders allow it much more often. I do not know what it will lead to oversaturation, or, on the contrary, to some curiosity regarding our creativity. Need time.
