- Maxim, you first conquered the Internet, and then television. Are you proud of what the project is successful?
Of course, proud of. Especially since everything began as a joke. And now I am known almost as Kobzon. Wow.
- The first overview you inspired the American show. What had to be recycled to get the original version?
I just liked the format of the project, and I decided to make it in my own way. First, I did not wind the mats and the most sharp jokes. Secondly, adapted humor for our climate and the people. To turn on - and immediately it became clear: Oh, it's about us!
- Only four rollers fall into each release, and how much do you have to reconsider to find these four?
"I look at a lot of videos, I can sit in front of the computer for five hours and not find anything. I am going through a huge amount of material. But for the sake of a rusty roller, even the day is not sorry.
- The authors or heroes of the video never send you angry letters with the promise to figure out your jokes?
This was not. Some are even grateful for the promotion of their video.
- You have always defended your position in the use of obscene vocabulary in the scenario. Now, when the law on ban on the mat came into force, do not feel in something limited?
So far, I do not feel any restrictions and calmly continue to use obscene vocabulary. Because, as you know, in Russia the law is precedent. We will solve problems as we arrive. And now I'm not going to change anything. Therefore, I sincerely ask the parents not to allow children to the Internet if they fear that I will teach them "bad".
- You are in the profession a cook and still studied for English teachers. Now, apparently, all your life dedicate television?
Yes, but may not be limited to the box. I am interested in the entire entertainment industry: television, movies, music. If the Internet is closed, I will wheelhouse with the concerts of your second season concert.
- I read that she broke up.
- And two years ago we reunited again. Released armor-piercing hits, a powerful single and now tour. SECOND SEASON lives, blooms and smells.
- Good English helped becoming your sense of humor based on Western cartoons and serials. What attracts Western humor and what does not really like Russian?
I am not something that does not like Russian humor, I'm just used to him. And again, I can not say that American humor I appreciate more than ours. I just raised on the American. The sense of humor eventually developed thanks to the animated series and serials that I watched from childhood: "Bivis and Bathead", "South Park", "Simpsons", "Griffins", "Futurama", "Robotsyp", "American dad", "in Philadelphia is always sunny, "Clinic", "Friends". In the West, very creative approaches the description of situations, they love to be squeezed to the address of the stars of show business - sometimes such breams they are answering that our booths simply nervously smoking around the corner. Moreover, if we translate American jokes literally, it will not be so funny. I try to add to the Russian humor of that sharpness and pepper, which is famous for American.
All issues of their program Maxim records against the background of leopard covers, which he at one time borrowed from Mom. Fans call it "carpet" and consider a self-star show. .
- Do you support the relationship with the American producers of Ray William Johnson, whose show took the basis? How do they rate the project "+100 500"?
We have not communicated with them for a long time. But they were very surprised and impressed by the success of the show in Russia for such a short time. We continue to cooperate with them, and they like everything. Somehow, we even thought to play with Ray, to make an international project. But now they found another lead, and Ray makes the show only as the author.
- For the filming of the first programs, you used the lamps from the mother's room and, of course, the mother's leopard carpet. How do parents treat your success now?
Parents are very positive because my passion has become a job that brings money. And this money is enough for me to live and help my parents.
- Carpet, against whom you shoot, has already become a practically an independent star of the show. Open the secret - he all this time you have one or exist "clones" that can replace him when he comes into disrepair?
- All this time he is alone, he never changed. It was literally a couple of episodes without it. But if he appears in the frame - this is the only carpet that was in the first issue. Do not break the traditions!
