Gavriil Gordeev announced a new series Okko in the style of "Trace", and Julia Peresild presented her new movie about relationships with artificial intelligence "ON and She"."Izvestia" tells what closed events the heroes of the secular chronicle and celebrities were last week.

Closed premiere of the film "The Prophet" at the Mikhailovsky Theater

Evening icy St. Petersburg, in front of the entrance to the Mikhailovsky Theater there are doormen in livery, live lights are burning, carriages with horses in harness are arriving at the theater. From the carriage come out of the creators of the most anticipated and scandalous domestic movie of the season "The Prophet. The Story of Alexander Pushkin." In the role of the main Russian poet Yura Borisov, in the movie he reads rap, dances, shoots in a duel with Dantes, goes to fortune-tellers and falls in love with all the ladies he meets. And also plays tennis with the Emperor and constantly impertinent Benkendorf. About all this "Izvestia" first told in a detailed review.

But all this was later, and then in the foyer of the Mikhailovsky Theater, not too adapted for such events, gathered everyone from Nikita Mikhalkov, whose studio "TRITE" participated in the creation of the film, to Alexei Uchitel, Sergei Selianov, Nikolai Homeriki and other living legends of Russian cinema. Roman Kantor, screenwriter of last season's top film "The Master and Margarita" was also spotted(read his column about it here). "The Prophet" will be released in Russia on February 14, but it seems that the country is already preparing to read Pushkin's poems in hip-hop style.

Musical presentation of the Wink season

To replace the January stagnation, the February wind has brought the secular Moscow noticeably more invitations to events with the cherished inscription save the date. And while the season has not yet gained its former momentum, the representatives of the movie industry have taken up the tempo - it was they who ruled the ball last week. A bright spot in the calendar was the musical presentation of the new season of the online cinema Wink, which took place on February 6 in "October". Last year the platform, in terms of organization, set the bar for itself, and this time it was necessary to show all the skills of hospitality, so that the invitees would not whisper: "It was better before". At that time "The Word of a Patsan" had just thundered out, and the guests of the evening were offered to try on a solider's outfit and shoot on a chromakey in a small fragment as a souvenir, while Anastasia Ukolova and Elizaveta Bazykina were responsible for the musical mood of the audience, fueling interest in the upcoming "Combination" with their participation.

This time the main character of the immersive part of the evening was their castmate Vladimir Kanukhin, who embodied Vitaly Okorokov on the screen. As the band's composer, he broke the program time and again (interrupting performances and speeches, descending into the hall on cables suspended from the ceiling and running away from the guards) to capture the attention of the gathered producers and sell them the idea of his own project. The musical theme was continued by the duo NANSY & SIDOROV with the soundtrack to the hit of the new year "Lily of the valley. Such tender love" and the Jukebox trio.

Among the most anticipated projects, which were told from the stage, are the historical drama "Chelyuskin. First", dramedy "Between Us Chemistry" with Sasha Bortich and Nikita Efremov, a continuation of the series "Children of Change", a new season of "Fisher" with Ivan Yankovsky, who, in addition, will appear in the musical "Moscow does not believe in tears. Everything is just beginning" (while this is a working title). At the presentation also showed the first shots from new joint projects streaming and REN TV, was announced the release of the series "Smersh 1944", "Operation Karpaty 2", "Rooks" and "Pirates of the XXI century".

The Chinese actress from "Red Silk" was given a liter of sour cream

The same evening in the office of VK was another closed presentation - the film "Red Silk", which will be released on the big screens on February 20. This is a large-scale detective action. The action will take the viewer to 1927 in the Trans-Siberian Express, where the struggle for secret documents will unfold. In espionage intrigue will encounter heroes Milos Bikovich, Elena Podkaminskaya, Gleb Kalyuzhny, Gosha Kutsenko, Irina Alferova and their Chinese. The main female role was performed by actress Zheng Hanyi. This is her debut in the movie. She said that she really fell in love during the filming of Russian sour cream. If only all our "I love" so quickly fulfilled: at the meeting, the actress received a liter jar of sour cream as a gift. Ahead of the secular premiere of the film - it will be held in "October" on February 18.

Okko will shoot a series in the style of "Traces"

The light of Russian film journalism (at least that's what media manager Gavriil Gordeev said) spent all of Tuesday, February 4, at the finals of the Okko showrunner contest. The project was a joint effort of the online cinema, the movie studio Place of Power and the film school Studio 24. Its five finalists received funding to shoot pilot episodes of their shows. The winner - the one whose project will be continued - was to be determined by the audience by voting, as well as by industry experts represented by critics and cultural journalists, including Izvestia.

For those who love movies, watching five "pilots" is like a perfect day off. The first series of the dramedy "Abusers" about exes, the detective thriller "Anna's Hands" about a teacher who lives with the acronym CODA (hearing child of deaf parents), the drama "Stranger" about a young girl from Kazakhstan, who runs away from her family because of strict family traditions, "Brakes", where Roman Evdokimov's character goes to prison on a false charge of drug distribution, and the detective "How to Tame a Fox" about a zoopsychologist.

The absolute favorite in the end became the last project. Many noted that the series resembles "Trace", which was a hit last year (although the creators assured that they began working on "Fox" earlier). Here Taisya Kalinina again in the role of the victim, but still unclear whose. And in the center of all this case is a zoopsychologist (Kirill Kyaro), who saves a tortured girl who ran out of the forest and becomes a suspect in other disappearances and murders. About when the project will be released, there is no information yet.

Turkish presentation of the series "Hide Me" and the premiere of "ON and Her"

The industry continues to actively venture into Turkish content. The January visit of "Knock on My Door" star Hande Erchel to the capital once again confirmed its popularity. On Friday, February 7, in a restaurant in the capital held a chamber meeting with translators and dubbing actors of the series "Hide Me", which will premiere on "Domashniy" (February 15 at 19:00). All in the best traditions of tourdizi (and the story of Cinderella) - in the center of the plot powerful families with their skeletons in the closet, and the heir to one of them finds himself in a love triangle and must make a choice between a girl from his society and her maid. The guests of the presentation were told about the subtleties of translation, and for full immersion in the world of turdizi were treated to dishes of national cuisine.

Her heroine Xenia - an ambitious developer in the field of artificial intelligence. She goes on vacation to a villa with a built-in "smart home" system, which is called Marcus. The assistant satisfies all her desires, but soon begins to claim more (he even developed an ideal program for their life together) and completely control the guest's life.

At the premiere Yulia Peresild appeared with her daughters. To support the colleague came Alexander Oleshko, Dmitry Dyuzhev, Ksenia Surkova and director Mark Gorobets in the company of 18-year-old wife Alexandra Olesyuk.
