The image of Kuzmich turned out to be so in demand and close to the people that it was even decided to use in the production of vodka. "When I was offered to launch the production of" Kuzmich ", I just sat without work. Well, I agreed, - recall the actor. - The fee was barely enough for a new "nine." She literally stolen after a couple of months. As it turned out, these guys knew whose car. Apparently, they just wanted to boast - we got a car with Kuzmich himself. "
To break stereotypes was under the power to the most director, with the filing of which they were created, - Alexander Rogozhkin. He suggested a bullshop the role of Captain Ivan Kartosov in the Military film "Cuckoo" (later the actor received the Grand Prix of the film "Golden Eagle"). Then the bulls tried himself in a completely different role - TV preset program "Good night, kids!". And now busy in the theater and is removed in the continuation of the sensational fantastic thriller "Six 3D".
Viktor Nikolaevich, as far as I know, my anniversary (on September 4, the Actor turned 60 years old, "ed.) You have noted rehearsals in a new performance. Why not in the restaurant?
Victor Bullov: "In the restaurant I celebrated my fiftieth anniversary. I tried to slip a double bill, then apologized, but the siphel remained. This is not the most important thing, since the tragedy in Beslan happened the day before my fiftieth anniversary. The first toast I raised for the dead! All anniversaries I have some tragic ... "
What happened this time?
Victor: "I always believed that the actor on the day of his birth is best to be on stage, work. And the best gift is a good role. Yuri Grymov invited me to the entrepreneurial performance on the novel Konan Doyle "The Lost World" on the role of Professor Challenger. "The principle of one star. You are in the lead role, the remaining actors unknown to the general public, "they explained to me. I was happy. I come and find out that I have two doubles, again, unknown to the general public. And not with me, and half the first act has already been made with them, immediately on the big scene. What for? Why? I mastered the drawing for the day, there was a feeling of the outgoing train in which I was forced to jump. Changed three shirts, heat, duchot, jumped up, learned! For the anniversary, Yuri gave me such "Beslan", which, if I were an inexperienced actor, I would lose faith in myself and hanged himself. I even began to write rehearsals for the voice recorder to understand, analyze what is happening. "Do not shout!", Immediately "you can not hear!", "Everyone can play crawled, and you, Victor, RVI ass!" Verbatim! Mat, vulgarity, Zhrap stories. Why did he invite me? I gave the anniversary interview about the "living dinosaurs of Yuri Grymov," and thought himself, how not to go crazy. Fourth of September, on his birthday, a run of the first act was appointed. Television, calls, telegrams from the Ministry of Culture, from the president, and the director did not come to him! I played a run when I was empty ... Polina's wife arrived, and I did not die. All that does not kill, makes me stronger. I cursed Yuri Grymova and this performance. But literally the other day I received an invitation to be held in the continuation - "Viy. Travel to China. ZD. "
"Viy" in China?!
Victor: "I really hope that then it will also be in America ... The first" Viy "collected a record cashier, and the creators thought about the continuation. Scenario is stunning, I can only reveal a few secrets: we will see Moscow Petrovsky time, there will be many adventures, a fight and a sea of tea. Participation in the project was already confirmed by the Western stars of the first film Jason Fleming (Jonathan Green) and Charles Dance (Lord Dudley). This company joins one of my most favorite artists - the legendary Rutger Hauer ("Travel") and our Yuri Kolokolnikov. "

For five years you conducted the transfer of "good night, kids!", Steel for many children an example. Is it true that in childhood themselves were sauligan?
Victor: "The boy is forced to become a man. Only everything is done differently: someone does a feat, and someone is a hooligan act. I was born in 1954. In our municipal apartment there were forty-two mistresses, we were fighting with the boys with rotten eggs, thieves and sitting were always stuck in the courtyard. They told romantic stories about the prison, the colole of the knockers, chatted on the scenery, went with knives, drank in the doorway, then someone hit the drugs, others became criminet. And I was ready to go for illegal actions for the company with friends, that is, it could easily become a criminal. From that kind of children's company, there is no one for a long time for a long time. Theater Studio saved me! "
The first way to the scene was memorable?
Victor: "For me - yes. In the first year of the theater Institute, we showed the exam for half a year, and the master of my course was sitting in the hall director Igor Petrovich Vladimirov and Mikhail Boyarsky. I showed the Secretary Bird, which, for his shame, never seen. But I came up with what she: put his hands in training pants with bubbles on his knees, walked chinno on long thin legs and twelly twisted his head, I even had a bird's nose in a bird! Boyarsky laugh so much that fell from the chair! "
They say the acting path to glory lies through fire, water and copper pipes. Through what tests did you pass?
Victor: "Frustration, disbelief in what I am doing my work. I had the feeling all the time that the role was given, but it seems, by mistake - suddenly come tomorrow and say: not, not, brother, this is not your role. In the acting profession, you must conquer every day and to prove yourself. It is very difficult - all the time the heart is like a string, it rings, it hurts in the ears. Suddenly, the boy is crying: "And the king is naked!" When there was no work on "Lenfilm", at night I collected the bottles to pass them, buy some products, a little later, the floors in a cooperative store ... "
Even so?!
Victor: "This is the end of the eighties, the beginning of the nineties. Artists dispersed around, a whole generation. There was nothing at all - emptiness! At best, on pickup - somewhere to voice a pair of phrases. Coffee all day sat on the "Lenfilm" - suddenly, at least a tiny episody will be offered. At night I lay on the sofa and philosophized: "I have been singing a bird, and this time has come that all caterpillars ended, and I have nothing to eat, dying from hunger." Then I say myself: "Well, what do you suffer?! Look: Won crocodile lives, the antelope meat is indulges ... "But the bird can not become a crocodile! Some walked into the crocodiles - throwing a movie and began to engage in a racket, trading with vodka, real estate. They thought so: "We are now briefly we leave, and then come back." Do you think, returned? Not! They sucked. I stayed. And everyone is accustomed that, no matter how you come to the Lenfilm Coofer, there is a goby: "Verto, can you play an episode?" - "I can" - "Can you voice the hero?" - "Of course". So in those troubled times, one "worm" was searched, then another. And it turned out that I need many. And then Alexander Rogozhkin came, who said: "I wrote for you the role of Kuzmich." This is me to the fact that everyone should answer the question: are you a bird or crocodile? If a crocodile, then you do not need to climb the scene. "
Can you explain what the secret of the success of the "National Hunting features"?
Victor: "A happy confluence of circumstances happened: from the script to the actors. In the nineties, people began to come in the cinema who simply laundered money. Cooperative movie! Most films were ashamed to show. And in Rogozhkin believed. And he scored people in which she believed ...
When "features ..." showed in Sochi, it was also successfully coincided. Even the fact that the sky tightened the clouds-clouds and rained ... Usually, on the "Kinotavra" after dinner, everyone goes to sunbathe, and then everyone went to watch the film. And when the show ended, no one wanted to disperse. All hanging out, the phrases from the film were repeated. When guests came to the embankment to drink beer, wine, talk, now and then it was heard: "Semenov, will you drink vodka?", "Well, for friendship!" Everyone laughed. And two days later, when I flew to St. Petersburg, the taxi driver found out me: "And I watched your film!" - What? "-" Hunt ... "Here is the cassette!" I did not believe: "What is the cassette? Just one copy, and even then in Sochi! " It turns out that the pirates instantly copied, and everything was spread around the country. "

What was the most unusual manifestation of folk love?
Victor: "Somehow, two Abkhaz boys learned me and argued for a long time: he is it or not he. I thought: probably, we are talking about Kuzmich ... One of them is suitable: "Listen, are you in the" jokes "playing Chapaev?" Everyone remembers its. For example, in Novgorod in the parking lot they suddenly survived hooligans - a man thirty with bits. Suddenly they sleeved: "And in the" streets of broken lanterns "and in the" slaughter "(" slaughter strength ") you have played a bomge of Pomeransev, well done!"
One of my first roles is a German kieger-hunts in the movie "For the sake of several lines." 1984, I come with filming, I am in Nevsky, and there is a paratrooper day. The guys are already fun, and the one who did not like them, they beat on the head. I dressed in black jeans, a black jacket, a black shirt, black shoes, a black handkerchief on the neck, that is, the whole black. Such informal! Suddenly, a huge drunk paratrooper is coming on me, takes for breasts. And I understand: everything, Vitya, your life is over! I speak quickly: "Sorry, I am an actor!" He looked with distrust: "The face like a friend. And in what movie did you play? "I'm starting to list ..." Yes No, not that ... And about war what? "I say:" I played German huntsman. " "For sure! Fascist. And I think, why would you like to smel off! "And went on ..."
They say, in 2008, you almost starred at Stephen Spielberg in the role of the "bad Russian general of Sikorsky." Is it true or bike?
Victor: "I really offered to try in the picture" Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull ". It was necessary to put the camera and read the English text. But I do not know how I do not know how to school Stanislavsky! He took on the "Lenfilm" General Mundir, with Polina (and she was a beautiful theatrical director) invented the plot, built houses of decoration of the warehouse, invited comrades, perfectly owned by English. Since "Indiana Jones" still comic, especially for Americans put a sauer cabbage on the table, a huge bank of caviar and a shtof with a real moonshine of degrees seventy. Want bad Russian? NATO! Such an ability to play them ... For the night, we removed the whole microfilm - even with the credits! Spells Spielberg drive ... "
And what are the Americans?
Victor: "As I was handed over, they were shocked. It turned out that the signed by us largely coincided with their original scenario, which until the last keeps in the strictest secrecy. They excited them: who passed everything to Russian? And by the way, then they changed something in the film, and I wrote to my agent Spielberg: "Sorry, but there are no such good Russians!"
Greatly upset?
Victor: "No, what should I get upset? Read the story of Chekhov "Joy". Remember when the student resorts, stumps all the newspaper: "Now all Russia knows about me!" ... And it is written, as he got drunk and in an insensible condition he fell under the horse. It became famous! So I almost "glorified" in the west.
They say on corporate parties you sing, show mini performances, are in different images ... Who is your public? Oligarchs, bankers?
Victor: "There are different people. It can be a community of interest - fishermen, hunters, it can be a wedding, birthday, anniversary. The oligarchs are such ... Lotting. But sometimes it happens. "
The people loved Bychkov for the role of a rustled humorous huntsman Kuzmich. Meanwhile, he can and classic characters. Photo: Personal archive of Victor Bychkov.
And bandits, thieves in law, other criminet?
Victor: "I have not seen no longer. And before, of course, where without them? Once I was even a member of the Jury KVN - the team of "Crosses" "Gentlemen of Failure" and "Civil Aviation" from the foundry fought. Then I set up a "excursion" on the "crosses", this is horror !!! Two weeks could not move away - the feeling that even the walls of the prison were impregnated with fear. "
Remember the most unusual concert?
Victor: "I led the New Year's corporate in the nineties. There, from three hundred and extra guests there was a man twenty ... very specific. Peak aces of such - all fingers in tattoos, that is, everyone has several serious walkers. And when I refused to drink, brought auction armangia countertop excerpt. Such a bottle is about three million rubles today. I poured one hundred grams - I drank and did not understand anything. It was a feeling that money would fall in the stomach, and that's it. And they got the pleasure that they gave me pleasure. "
Often, men lead their denuncian lists, collect love stories ... Are you of those?
Victor: "Once he recorded, but it was a long time ago - even before the theater Institute. During my studies, I had no time, and then the notebook was lost. In fact, I am confident, ninety percent of men - monochrome. But it happens, I don't want to hit face. Or "everyone boasts, and I want." Yes, there are ten percent of us - gatherers of herbaria or butterflies, which are conquered and pinned to their collection into their collection. But you can admire a flower or butterfly. Here is a beautiful woman - admire!
I remember, at the second year of the Theater Institute, I went for the first time with the theater to the city of Ivanovo on tour. And there was a wonderful actress - Leyla Kirakosyan. She arrived with her daughter. And here she was taught by Katya: "You can not step on herbs, you can not tear a flower - he is alive ... the bee must be driven so that she flew ..." And I liked it, I think: what a divine woman! I bought candy, came in the hotel to her number, knocked and, without waiting for the invitation, opened the door. And since it was summer, the heat, then the actress Kirakosyan Leila stood ... nude. I was twenty-five years old, idle. I apologized, quickly closed the door. And then this image was all stood with my eyes ... We had nothing with her. But it was all: and fantasy, and erotica, and doping for creativity. And the opposite happens: everything is completely frankly, and then you want to forget to forget, run in the bath - to wash yourself with a washcloth ... "
Accounted for feats for the sake of big love?
Victor: "And in the water in plus, two degrees dived, and in the thirty-permanent frost one and a half hours was a barefoot. And on the ninth floor without resting the stairs raised a 65-kilogram girl, and went on the roof on his hands, and on Anichkovo Bridge in St. Petersburg, it was kissed on the monument - the horse in the mouth kissed ... and the desire of the vein was cut into and hanging. There are so many beautiful girls around, and you only see her. And the tears are pouring, and the poems are rushing. Of course, everything was! " (Viktor Bullkov was married three times. With the first wife, the hope of Vasilyeva, did not live and years. He married, being put before the fact that a friend was pregnant. Although, on his own admission, was not fully confident that this is his child. With the second wife , Elena, the actor met in the theater. Children Fedor and Arsenia were born from this marriage. But gradually the relationship was noted. I could not forgive grades. Third wife, Polina, director, younger than spouse for twenty-four years. But it does not interfere with their family happiness. - Prim.Avt.)

With Polina Do you have a beautiful love story?
Victor: "Polina - she is ingenious! After all, a woman when God gives her to love, makes absolutely the right steps - God guides her. She was pretty me, we had a passion, we worked together. And once I happened to some straight crazy day: from early morning driving, sophisticated rehearsals outside the city, climbed ... I come to the Polynigno House, and I shunted, because her parents are my peers. And suddenly Polina brings me from the fifth floor to the diskhead disk - with bread, with sour cream: "You sing, Victor! You're hungry ... "it walked me right away! Polina is my homeland. We are very close in spirit. It is equally thought, we have the same principles, the concepts of human purity. Well, everything! We just walked each other, made mistakes. And she was hidden, and me. But found, thank God! Such a son gave birth to me ... "
In the family you have what "style of government"?
Victor: "Now Dobryny Power over all took and twists as he wants. We have children's democracy: what I want, I do, and if I do not want, then do not make me. "
Dobrynya with his older brother and sister communicates?
Victor: "Rarely, unfortunately. But Fyodor and Arsenia love him. They even received him from the hospital. "
Would you like any of them the acting future?
Victor: "Of course. But I would like them to get a second specialty - to walk proudly, with a straight back, not depend on anyone. "
Do they have talents?
Victor: "Asya went to learn, Fyodor is an absolutely creative person - writes music, poems playing in the ensemble. Learning now "on computer genius", in parallel works by sound engineer in the theater. Dobrynya was already born with a cry: "And here I am!" So he is actor actorcorch actors - and sings, and dances, and leads. But in the actors, as far as I know, is not going to. When was small, I wanted to become a cosmic aibolite, save the universe from diseases. Now he has tanks, fully weapons, bag with ammunition. "
Humanity has invented many stress removal options. What is yours?
Victor: "To be with my family, with son. Everyone I love, respect both actors and as personalities, in the first place the family is a wife, children. And no debauchery! This is the most important thing. Such a quiet harbor, where you will understand and where you are running out, you'll get strength. "
