- Sergey, even though you live in Moscow, talk to you is not so easy. It seems that in addition to work in the Ural dumplings, you clearly have a lot of other things ...
- Yes it is. For example, we are now preparing a romantic sketch "Seasons of Love". An interesting project, where the relationship between five different pairs, comic situations, life conflicts are shown. I think, many of themselves recognize themselves in these couples, because we tried to distribute situations in the ages to be interested in everything. And we still really want to launch an interactive-improvisational "show from air". Thanks to the audience, actors and stars on the stage will be born shows.
- What to wait in the near future from the Ural Pelmeni?
- Now we have the closure of the season. This time we have gathered everything related to art, painting and so on, and called it "Kombie Arts". And also made the release on a student topic called "I do not blow at the university." We all were somehow students. And we forced the audience to remember themselves.
- How is the birth of another plot? Someone personally responsible for this in your team?
- In general, the plot is born collegially. We are going to in Yekaterinburg and days for nine writing the program. We decide together, which will be the next concert and what topic. After all, there are reasons - February 23, March 8. There are summer topics, student, summer holidays - Gardens and gardens, Cosmonautics Day, Information Technology. We even had concerts about state employees. And every time everything happens spontaneously: the same topic suggested, the other supported, the third led everyone to the side. Therefore, you can not always find the author of a specific performance.
"Julia to us as a combat comrade. We perceive it as one of us. Therefore, no one had official novels, despite the fact that they write about it on the Internet. " .
- Out of work you intersect with each other in an informal setting?
- We are so often we meet at work that there is practically not visible outside of work. Well, it happens, the guys go to relax together. But it does not often occur, because they also come on tour. I do not go - I have too much work like the project manager.
- And what is the function of the head "Pelmeni"?
- I am a producer and the main locomotive, which connects both the successes and shortcomings, and all the cones of the team. My function is to connect from cubes, and sometimes triangles, one integer. When they are combined into one whole joke, ideas, scenery, costumes, props, and then shooting passes, and this is sees the whole country.
- What is the most difficult to work for you as a producer?
- Perhaps it is to write a program. It is already easy to implement when there is a foundation and there is something to work with. Upgrade make it easier to come up with something new. Especially now, when the market is overloaded with information.
- How often are curious and unplanned situations occur during shooting a humorous show?
- I remember, year or two ago, we broke the rotating circle - the scene. In total, it was three different scenery. So far, the action is on one, on others there is a permutation. The show does not stop for a second - we once accepted this format and work with it. So, when he broke, all workers, Tajiks, as well as Brekotkin and I rotated this circle with my hands. And the viewer did not even notice from the audience. It was hard, I do not hide, but the show should continue when the audience in the hall.
- Julia Mikhalkov in your team is the only girl. And over the years, the situation does not change. Why?
- She is now not quite the only girl in the project. She just came before everyone and the most successful. There are two more girls are no less talented. We had Stefania Gursky, very good actress. We found it in the project "meat grinder". I think she has a good future. And Ilan Yuryev, who, in connection with his employment, lives in another city, but we also attract it into our show.
- Julia Mikhalkov with you from the very foundation of "Pelmeni". At one time did you even go any rumors about her service novels?
- Well, Julia we, you know how to combat comrade. She has a civil husband. We perceive it as one of us. Sometimes let me even shout, they say where you go? Why did you forget the text? She is like a combat unit. Therefore, no one had novels, even though they write about this on the Internet. Of course, we have some kind of gentlemanic attitude towards it. We congratulate it on the eighth of March, let's give flowers, whatever the combat unit it is. But her game and appearance, of course, inspire.
- Once Julia, everyone inspires, why did you decide to bring two more girls to the team?
- Perhaps we needed fresh blood. Tired of changing in women, and decided to call more girls to the team. And we do not want to limit ourselves in the implementation of ideas. Because we are afraid when we change clothes. (Laughs.)
Ilan Yuryeva has recently become a new member of the Ural Pelmeni project. .
- So there are no more masquerade?
- Of course, we will change to the female again. In general, I do not know where it goes from, but I understand the body of women who have power over the men, so I am very easy to play such ladies. I have already embodied this image on the stage and I feel very organically in such images. True, in the nearest production I will play the mouse from the fairy tale "Teremok". (Smiles.)
- What is the breast of women's suits usually made?
- It's a secret. Well, many different materials. But not silicone. (Laughs.)
- And how do your relatives and spouse treat what you are changing? Including in women?
- OK, this is part of the work. It is necessary to reincarnate in different images, not only in female. Quickly ran over the scenes, Bengnebard stressed, put on a suit - and forth. For example, in the nearest concert, I will play Süsek from the fairy tale "Kolobok". When the grandmother says Dedke: "Predy in Sousse". We thought for a long time, how does this slave look like. Tried to draw. But let's see what it will be for the costume.
- Your project colleagues still live in Yekaterinburg, you moved to Moscow ...
- I live in two cities: family in Yekaterinburg, and I work in Moscow. This is the preparation of the show, and installation, and post-production. Well, in addition to all, I have a few new projects for the TV channel. Because of this, I have quite a little free time when I can be with my family. Sometimes a thought comes: "Maybe stopping? Enough? " But the ideas overfill. And it's great when you enjoy work. Although ecology in Moscow, of course, does not please. Money is good, work is good, but the air is cleaned in the Urals. Now in my Moscow apartment is repairs. I think to make it convenient and modern. Interactive control, automatic inclusion, Internet, maybe the system "Smart Home". In general, everything is for work.
- By the way, what is your working day?
- In the morning I have yoga, which I have been doing ten years old. I traveled a lot and learned the right yoga. And we are talking not only about the exercises themselves, but also about the right attitude and right views on life. Then there is a view of mail, social networks. Further - meetings with company employees, control of all directions. The day goes very violently. I'm leaving the last from work. Watch at 12 pm. Sometimes, of course, I try to distract a little. It is impossible to work for 20 hours a day.
- In addition to yoga, what helps you relax?
- Music, books at least somehow distract. When I manage, I love to play basketball. In winter - Mountain skiing. In the summer in Moscow I'm going to ride a motorcycle. And how otherwise there are such corks here!
- It is no secret that you have a rather large family. Tell us a little about your children.
- Senior Timofey, he has 13 years old, technical warehouse of the mind. He collects all imaginable and unthinkable constructors, which I would not collected in life. Engaged in different sports. Football, table tennis - we bought a small table home. Unlock and play with him. He wins me and very rejoicing it. Middle Son Vanya - It is thinner, musical, intelligent. In his 9 years already some kind of inner nobility. He will never betray, say that, for example, Brother Tim is guilty. Although he is emotional, but keeps himself proudly. Vanya is interested in a guitar - all in music. Masha, their sister, - smart not by year. And can build all, although it will only be seven years. My children and I went to the village on the car to the village to the parents and played words. Moreover, according to the new rules. For example, all words on "M". Two senior brothers dropped out of the game quickly, and she played to the end until I had not stopped myself because I was tired.
"We are so often we meet at work that there is practically not visible outside of work. It happens, the guys go to relax together, but it does not often happen. " .
- Admit, Masha - Daddy's daughter?
- Well, of course, I have a very warm relationship with her. Balua. Although you do not need to do this. Up to seven years can be, and then it is already better to start a tougher policy so that the child has been formed motivation. Because when everything is available, it becomes nothing to strive for, but I want their goals in life. Now I can not force children to study English hard to study.
- What does your wife do?
- She raises children. It takes a lot of time: kindergartens, mugs, doctors, sections from morning to evening.
- In Moscow, it is easier to hide from fans, and how are things at home? In Yekaterinburg, probably no passage do not give?
- Well, find out when they meet, letters write. In the store, it happens, suitable, say: "Thank you." Mad fans, fortunately, did not meet. It happens, girls are suitable after a concert to take a picture, nuddle. (Laughs.) I take pictures.
- Your popularity helps or interferes?
- Rather, helps. Of course, when you can't just walk with the children, they begin to whisper, watch, run up for an autograph, and after that you begin to feel a little unsubbated. And in general, in critical moments, when traffic cops stopped or need to solve the issue with the administration, the popularity helps. Even if you do not immediately find out who I am, but understand: a familiar face, and go to meet.
