Konstantin Yushkevich - actor Lenkomovskaya hardening and therefore is able to play a variety of characters both in the cinema and on the theater scene.
- Konstantin, you come from Yekaterinburg. Happens to be in the homeland? Did you have friends there?
- In Yekaterinburg, I am regularly, but mostly come with performances. During such visits, quite often seeing classmates. Usually, they send our meetings to my tours, which from abroad specially fly to those who left live and work in different cities of the United States, to Manchester, Dubai. We had a very strong class: among my classmates there are even teachers of mathematics in English.
- Someone teaches mathematics, and you are the actor and movie actor, screenwriter, master of dubbing, and also producer. Many believe these are different professions, and you share them?
- Of course, share. But I can hardly be called a real producer. I am rather a plush producer. It's not just in art, I just can't be exclusively performer, an actor. I am not interested in me. I do not like to be pawn. At the same time, for creativity, I was always needed "team of like-minded people" - this is one of the favorite phrases of Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov. Of course, in such a team should not be anarchy, someone will definitely take the position of the creative leader, someone - to write scenarios, and someone will take on the financial side and will look for money - with this in our "team of like-minded people" better Gosh Kutsenko coped. I like to engage in such projects: take part in the process of creating a film or performance, and not just play the role in them. These projects are always a particular attitude - copyright.
- Who did the most affect you as an actor?
"No doubt, it was Mark Anatolyevich Zakharov and the constellation of great Russian artists who worked and continue to work at the Lenk Theater. It was this environment that had one hundred percent effect on my tastes and aesthetic addictions. From childhood I liked the films Mark Zakharov. I reviewed them all while I lived in Yekaterinburg, then this is true, there was still Sverdlovsk.
Like many of the actors of the classic school, Constitin Yushkevich initially belonged to the serials with suspicion. However, in the filmography of the actor, many TV projects, for which not ashamed. For example, the series "Sklifosovsky"
- What made you Mark Zakharov, how do you think?
- I was lucky that I studied on the acting and director's course. Many moments sat down in the head. For example, Zakharovsky term "knocking down forecasts" in the plot, in the actor's game. Comedy jet humor, unexpected, not always tolerant, wildly funny. I remember clearly, as he taught to choose the material, up to the point that even the name on the poster should attract. Blasting things: Previously it was believed that the theater is a temple, the temple of the arts. But this is not the case, it is entertainment.
- Why did you leave the cult "Lenkom", worked there for a long time?
- There is a repertoire theater - this is an excellent Russian invention, it has many good moments, but some of them have not been working for a long time. All artists are Egoists, if you are not among the first, you will then eat from the inside. I had some performances, and there were many sentences to star. At some point, I got a choice - because it was impossible to combine 28 performances per month and the desire to act in the movie was impossible. The decision was made very hard, but I never regretted it. If you are doing a favorite thing, and it turns into a cautious, everything loses its meaning.
- It is believed that people are creative - nature doubters. Were there difficulty in the acting profession? Doubts about yourself? Wish to change profession?
- Doubts were. Yes, they sometimes arise sometimes. But the most doubt was at the beginning of the acting path. This is an ambitious profession, if you do not see the results, you do not see the response, you wonder why everything is needed. Of course, it is necessary to believe in yourself, but any creative person, and above all, of course, every artist, confirmation is needed that his work is like.
- Is it a shame for some of your roles?
- Not. There are roles that could not play - at the beginning of the way. But this is my profession, I get money for it. But now I can report for every job and say why I agreed to play a particular role.
- How do roles affect your life, your character? Does your behavior in life change?
- I'm used to distinguishing work and life. So, by and large, my roles have no influence on me or my life. Agree, it would be strange if I twelve hours on the filming portrayed some kind of criminal subject, and then after a similar way would have done myself, for example, driving on the way home.
After the release of the film "Exercises in the Beautiful" Konstantin Yushkevich became a truly recognizable actor. In the photo: with colleagues in the picture Viktor Shamirov and Gauche Kutsenko
- Critics say that you got fame thanks to the roles in the films "Dickari", "Exercises in the Beautiful", "Stories", "Playing Truth", Sklifosovsky TV series, "Balabol". And what do you think when popularity came to you?
"Probably, when I stopped just asking:" You are not an actor? "," Where did you play, remind "or my favorite:" Did you buy something in the store? " Fame came when I was started to really recognize and call the last name. And yes, it coincided with the release of Dickari films, "Exercises in the Beautiful". Now, of course, the situation is different. Although, in my opinion, the recognition is still more on television projects: "Sklifosovsky", "Balabol". According to "Stories", another artistic film will know a completely different public.
- How often do you review movies with your participation?
- In fact, very rarely review. No time, and I don't see much sense in this. What for? I can see once a year or two years to see something, for example, "savages", "the game in the truth", "stories" from nostalgic considerations or professional curiosity - to remember how it was.
- "Star disease" bypassed a side or a little hid the wing?
"When they approach me, I have a relaxed feeling that I was confused with someone, a strange feeling. I am 49 years old, it is, of course, not age, especially from the point of view of pension reform, I already understand the practical side of fame, I no longer need someone to run for me. It's nicer when you suddenly learned in some huge queue, and it helped you cut the waiting time.
- How do you select the role today? What do you think first of all?
- I need to have some kind of fun in the character. One of my favorite characters now is a surgeon traumatologist from the Sklifosovsky series. Of course, when creating an image, I use consultants prompting, which are constantly on the set. This series needs accuracy. But I have little to drive medical terms and repeat them in front of the camera, usually I ask you to explain what it means or how it is treated to understand the complexity of the diagnosis or some kind of process. There are roles that require full dive - you need to really prepare for them, read a lot. But it happens that it takes a role in the work that has already been repeatedly delivered, then I do not seek this film or a performance - I do not want to fit upwards. In general, the choice of role is the process of mobile, if you liked the role, it means that something is already sits inside you, but sometimes you understand it only after some time.
"Although you left the Lenkom, but to the theatrical scene, within the framework of Antpurzia. What attracted a role in the play "When will come tomorrow"?
- "When tomorrow comes" - a performance about fundamental things, places ridiculous, but makes thinking. Serious conversation with a frivolous language. Partly a frivolous conversation about serious things. What I really like. Director Vladimir Ustyugov presented a good find. The play is written "Industrialist, Businessman" - for me this concept is some blurred. He said: "Why can't your hero be an official?" And then the fantasy spiked - immediately found what to say. But at the rehearsals it was hard, the release was not easy, the composition was changed. There were differences in opinions on the moment of rehearsals. But this is not a repertoire theater, everything happens here voluntarily: if someone does not like something, he can get up and leave. I always loved such a genre. A little comedy, a little mysticism, a little philosophy. Net comedy of the provisions is not very interesting.
- Who acts as the criticism of your creativity? What criticism do you trust?
- If something constructive is said, thinking. If these are Haters - people who earn their popularity on the fact that someone cleaned, I treat it calmly: I don't swear on the Internet. From loved ones to hear critics - it's a shame, and even moreover, when you understand that the truth is. I'm trying to fix everything. The eldest daughter in my cinema is very good to understand, she is a kinoman, like me, so it can give a good assessment of creativity.
Recently, at the stage of the Millennium Theater, the play "When will come tomorrow," where Konstantin Yushkevich plays together with Mikhail Bashkatov, Viktor Loginov (in the photo) and other actors
- What is closer today - the full meter, TV shows, theater?
- Artist is always prestigious to play in full meter. Although, as Western practice shows, and a good, high-quality TV series can make a star of the first magnitude. If there will be such series on our television, such as the "Game of Thrones", I would gladly with such a dream. Although for my latest television projects I am not ashamed.
- It is believed that the theater is for the soul, and the serials are exclusively for making coins. Agree?
"It's not a secret for anyone that in the movie and tele-industry you get more money, therefore, if we talk about the financial component, to take off, of course, more profitable. But in the theater can be one hundred percent to do what I want. More choice in terms of creativity. And good company is important for me. Shooting ended, all went away. Playing a performance, you can always meet again, talk, and that's fine.
- What do you give prizes and rewards?
- I have not so many premiums. "Kinotavr" in 2011 for the main role in the "Exercises in the Beautiful" - for me was a complete surprise. I got up, and the first two seconds it seemed to me that I was wrong, it's not me. It was nice. Such pleasant surprises in life are infrequent. As for theatrical awards, Antpurred usually bypass, although there are performances that, in my opinion, are worthy of awards.
- Your daughters Katya and Evdokia come to your premieres, are worried about you?
- While there were little, did not go, I still have an adult repertoire. Now go to some.
- They did not decide to go on your footsteps?
- I will not mind. They are humanities, love movies. The main thing is that they chose themselves from which they will not be sick.
