The series "Call Center" with Pavel Tobakov, Yulia Khlynina and Vladimir Jaglyz, in the main roles, now the second week makes you watch the development of events in the life of heroes. The series Natasha Merkulova and Alexey Chupov were removed - the authors of the films "Intimate places" and "the person who surprised everyone", - and this is an unusual project for our television: eight episodes are united by the Canva Psychological thriller, while each series is the story of one of the characters in New genre. I learned the most interesting details of the shooting process.
So, in the usual metropolitan office, in which every day, in essence, no different from the previous one, something went not according to plan. I just did not have time to leave the building, as unknown people who call them dad and mom contacted him. The game has begun. 12 people are blocked in the building of the Sexian Call Center, which can explode at any time if the hostages do not perform the instructions of the invaders. Colleagues will have to experience the absolute power of invisible sadists and learn about the life of each other the details of which it is not customary to speak.

Raise the topics that it is not customary to speak is one of the missions of the series. Natasha Merkulova and Alexey Chupov call their series "the sum of all fears of the world" and represent the first spectators on our television, a thorough conversation about religious fear, about fear of being incomprehensible due to orientation or nationality, to lose their loved ones because of modern geopolitical conflicts and so on. Well, the capture of the office is a genre point of reference to start a story about the life of each of the heroes: a modest Kirill, who played by Pavel Tabakov, and the "real woman" of Kati performed by Julia Hlynina, as well as migrant cleaners Gemma, whose role brilliantly performed Sabina Akhmedova, Neformalka Lisa (actress Polina Pushkaruk) and a large father of the fiance, which Nikita Tarasov played. It is easy to guess that all the external here is not related to the truth of each of the heroes.
Shooting a frank series were not easy. For Tandem Merculosa and Chupov, it was even important in the serial production to maintain the truth that the viewer was habitually see in Big Cinema. The truthful should be all - from small parts of space to the acting game. For the first on the filming of the "Call Center", the director of Nikita Evglevsky, who was already familiar to many on the film "Byk" - the winner of the "Kinotava 2012" film. "We worked in the genres of militant, social drama, science fiction, etc. Therefore, it was important to come up with a visual solution for each episode. It was one of Natasha and Alexey's main installations. And it is not so important, this thing will be built from scratch or just found, "Nikita told.
For example, the very office that has become not just a place of action, but also one of the heroes varying throughout the series is a pavilion scenery, built with great attention to detail.
The office that was built specifically for filming was practically nothing different from the present

"When the office was built, it seemed to me that I was present on the set of" Star Wars "present," the operator Gleb Filatov admitted. - The interior itself is completely built inside the pavilion, and the real business center is removed outside. An illusion is created, as if it is a straightened object. About half of the filming we spent in the pavilion, and half - on the road. "
Exit, for example, were shooting in Sunny Turkey, where Lisa was heroine Polyna Pushkaruk in the plot. In the pavilion, the shooting of Lisa lines were not dangerous: actress had to sit in a cage, where arrows from real crossbows were filled with a ceiling on her. To avoid injuries, the film crew had to carry out extremely complex combined surveillance.
"It was a complex project from a physical point of view. Constantly staying in fear and in negative emotions isolating more than being in a good mood, "Polina told.

Another distant location is a hot point - they recreated in the nearest Moscow region, in the abandoned village, affected by peat fires. These shooting were the most explosive in the literal sense. The fact is that the explosions were removed here not with CGI technology (three-dimensional computer graphics), but truly, with the help of pyrotechnics, and Miloslavskaya and Paul Tabakov were not inspired by the flufflers and fled from the explosion, who wondered everything around the heat.

"35 mice falling on me did their job," Sabina shares. - came out of the project, probably about a month. We were very long all together in a closed room, and it was difficult for us to go into society, even to sit in a cafe. Without fanaticism, of course, the hyperimatic anxiety mode was turned on, as if waiting for a constant attack. "
Vladimir Yaglych, filmography who played the role of Alpha Samtsa and the Chief of Denis: "Working in the" Call Center "was one of the most difficult in my life. So difficult that we rejoiced already simply that they returned in general after the filming. "

"And I was lucky that at least at home I could distract! - Says Julia Khlynina, who had to be signed under the ceiling on leather belts. - I just reset - such a fashionable word today. If it were not for a calm, cozy, harmonious atmosphere of the house, then I do not know how I could recover after the shooting days. It was the role, after the immersion in which it would be possible to even become. "
