Lenya, take this into account in your plan for next year. In such a situation, the director could dictate the terms even harsh soviet censorship. However, when gaida decided to film Mikhail Bulgakovs novel run, this idea did not find support in state cinema. Then the director took over. Bulgakovs play ivan vasilievich. In the early seventies, the previously banned play was already staged in theaters, but censorship still considered the writers ideas antisoviet. To make bulgakovs film adaptation look loyal, a lot of art was required. In august 1971 , gaida invited playwright vladlen bakhnov as a coauthor. They worked quickly, and already in the fall their script was accepted by the editorial board. In at the beginning of december, gaida and bakhnov sat down as director. The script was sent to the Cinematography Committee in january 1972 oh woe is me, oh woe is me, calm down, woe is me, you drink vodka, anishavai, to avoid the censors nagging, the scriptwriters transferred the action of the play to modern times, for example, extension 362, who calls miloslavsky like. Calls shpaka, this is the price of a bottle of vodka in the soviet union. Hello, extension 362. In general, the script was approved, but the authors were required to make a number of changes to it. In particular, historical ones, the scene did not allow film in the moscow kremlin. Gaidai was told that the episodes in which the past is reproduced should acquire a conventional character and look like the fantasy of the inventor of a time machine. Corrections have been made. On march 8 , 1972, an agreement was signed with the authors and 2 weeks later the script for the future masterpiece was sent to the director for development. Now we will test my time machine in action. Gaida is a team man. He decided to shoot this film with cameraman sergei poluyanov and artist. They understood the director perfectly and he himself i got used to them in previous paintings. Gaida knew well how important music is for a film. Therefore, he invited one of the most famous composers in the country, alexander zatsepin, with whom he had already worked on four films before. Zatsepinos music sounded in the operation and the caucasian captive diamond hand and twelve chairs. Happiness suddenly. In silence i knocked on the door, he usually spoke, but its impossible to go faster , the tempo was important for him, i wrote, so instead of golop, such fast music, royal plays so fast, and i say, it will be twice as long faster and against this background. He would be so nervous , the orchestra had already been recorded , let him look at it all with suspicion, well, he didnt dictate terms to me, by that time a group of actors had formed who were called gaidaevs, its decoration was the countrys first comedian and close friend of gaidai yuri nikulin , Ivan Vasilyevichs script was written specifically for him, it was nikulin who had to reincarnate as the house manager bunshu. Well , what are you talking about, this is on the shelf . Even with gaidais authority, the fate of the new film could be difficult, and despite the longstanding friendship with director, nikolin did not want to take risks, in my opinion he even regretted it when he looked at the picture, that it was like this, it was a masterpiece, and he regretted it. That he refused, precisely because he was sure he would put it on the shelf, they didnt, thank god, about what would be on the shelf or not, i didnt even have such thoughts, well, first of all, for me it was a guide great gaidai, and his films cannot lie on the shelf, vital, well, rumors that the film may not pass censorship, because it would be mikhail. By the way, he was good, by the way, he was good, and whitson auditioned, look, he auditioned for stegneev, just imagine, in this role of evstegneev, it would have been a different picture. Evgeny evstegneevs tests were truly incomparable, but when Leonid Gaidai thought that the hero of the film had finally been found, an unforeseen incident happened. Yura keeps putting on this monomachs hat, his log keeps coming out from under his hat. Yura, well, in the end, you clean up the clump of something, what is it . Then again, again, and yura comes up to the Makeup Artist and says listen, cut give me the scissors, he cuts off this piece of hair for himself, i look at him in complete bewilderment , how will you continue to work for you, if only he took it. sit down, do government business , take a stick, dictate what to dictate, well, tsar, grand duke, repeat of all russia, tsar, grand duke, repeat of all russia, but dont repeat, repeat, quietly, Yuri Yakovlev was faced with a difficult task , to play two main roles at once, ivan the terrible, on your knees, devil, and boncho is justified, i am tormented by vague doubts about you. Same imported suede jacket, like shpaks. Pravdomas tsar, in his brilliant performance , is really not at all alike. An impostor, i hear from an impostor, like this. Two roles in the film Ivan Vasilyevich became perhaps the most striking in yakovlevs biography. What a beauty, what a beauty. The whole difficulty was that Ivan Vasilyevich the terrible had to present. Oddly enough, but in a comedic sense, the acting task is so that they would. Male beauty, which is important, his timbrevoice, thats all, thats all the components worked for the fact that it was unique, the image and character turned out perfectly. Ill sing you a song about our cultural center, it s probably already boring you, but today everything will happen, and our concert will end, a new line will begin, but for now we are happy to welcome you. Kvn, major league, final watch the time after the program cool belly dance . No, i was just coughing. Who are you . I am russian. Where are you going . To end. Satellite debris is flying towards you. We will perform a compaction maneuver. Heard, accepted. Cnop gin product of stellar group, hello, slippers, such old shoes , im afraid of ruining them, well buy you new legs, long and shaved, good evening, i wanted to warn you, its very difficult for me to start, well launch it, im coming to you, but no one wants me, youre psychotherapists want, new years adventure, premiere on january 1st on the first, ill keep the slippers as a souvenir, why a person needs to go to space so much, because it exists, montechoca cognac. Product of stellor group supershields of the past decade to whom the strong and brave heads laid down in the field i sing the bear so that you i began to cry and even though the zemchata were not all the same, and even if they were banal and not talented, they threw themselves as best they could. My mother is an actress, and this time i dont have any magic, well, it works out as always, only shes not happy, they dont take her for roles, who am i, children, do you think baba frost has already heard us, we need happiness, yeah, maybe husband, our medicine has no analogues in the world, but can i just touch this brilliant head, yes, this is my formula, excuse me, please, you ordered the snow maiden, yes, i know, there are a lot of things today, everyone takes santa claus, but no one knows about baba frost, ill work with large strokes, only without. Now hes free, but he wants to go back to the cage, no more parties, this wouldnt be for you, the premiere, the very first new year, today at the first, with difficulty, having found the main character, gaidai meticulously chose other performers, even those who starred in his previous films had to go through the most severe casting, or if. Leonid kuravlev is one of the most Famous Artists in the country, he has no one hundred films. Whats your last name . Im a big artist and small academic theaters, and my last name, my last name is too famous for me to name it. Kuravlev remembers Ivan Vasilyevichs filming with undisguised nostalgia. I was then filming in the south with slava govorukhin in the film life is a wonderful adventure of robinson cruz, a telegram came inviting me to fly in for at least one day to try out for the role of georges miloslavsky. Why are you looking at me like that, dear father, i dont have any patterns on me and flowers dont grow. For some reason, gaida chose me, and of course. I was happy, kuravlev more in a kind of more folk way, there is more simplicity in him, he, if you like, more justifies this whole phantasmagoric plot, leonid koravlev had played thieves before, the audience fell in love with his charming rogue shura balaganov, but for george the artist found fundamentally new colors , tadada. Ivan vasilyevich, a fool, yes, a fool, stupid, in short, a varyuga, a domestic, this is really a new word in science and technology, ugh on you again, and the already rewritten georges miloslavsky is smart. Well done, witty, just a minute, if you do it again interfere in the experiments of an academician and stand in the way of technical progress, i tell you, he is a very modest person in life, and he can play a brazen character, but you need to have such a generally powerful talent as kuravlev, in order to play such a modest person as georges miloslavsky, given his abilities. A lot of people auditioned for rulzinochki, unknown actresses; if he was looking for stars in male roles, then he wanted to have a discovery in the female role. What will happen now . Just not a scandal. In search of a new star, the director tried many artists. Natalya seleznyova had already shone in gaidaevs operation, but she also had to worry a lot before her candidacy was approved for the role of the eccentric beauty zinochka. I said, leonie tuch, but ive already acted for you, really, ill audition like everyone else, he told me. Says yes, natalya, you will audition like everyone else, im all about cinema, art, when i was approved. For this role, i started to go hysterical, i cried so much, sobbed with happiness, my god, a scoundrel, a son of a bitch, a miserable bastard, this is a real king of hooliganism, seleznyovs heroine and the flighty zinochka, for the sake of filming with director yakin, is ready to do anything, even leave her husband, natalya herself is not at all like that, 5 years before Ivan Vasilyevich on the set. Of the film khalifaist, she met actor Vladimir Andreev and married him. Oh, shurik, shurik, your apparatus will destroy you, well, you cant do that, my apparatus, dinachka will glorify me, and you too. Yes. In ivan vasilievich, selezneva once again met with alexander demyanenko. The duo had already had success in the operation. In the new film by demyanenko again the image of the bespectacled shurik, familiar to the viewer from the previous guide tapes, was given. Relatives claim that the director saw himself in shurik, but the artist had already become comfortable with this image. What . Who is he, you ask . And of course, you think it worked. Impossible and impossible, the people of shurik, in my opinion, adored what is this, dear, i feel sorry for the bird. Gaida appreciated the comedic talent of natalie krochkovskaya on the filming of twelve stolers, where she brilliantly played dova grits to his father. The actress really wanted to get a role in gaidais new film. Tell me, Ivan Vasilyevich is not at you . They are looking for him all over the house. But we still firmly believe in us. Surplice stole the script from the group and read it. I think, well, i could play turyana. And i came to litovich, he doesnt remember for what reason, but not for that reason , i remember this for sure, he says natalya leonidovna, i decided to continue working with you, leonidovich, i honestly say, ill play well, honestly, he says , i have no doubt about it, what kind of wife are you for me, old woman, oh, he was drunk as hell, he doesnt recognize his wife, i had to call a psychiatrist, and. June 6 in 1972, the mass Film Arts Council approved the actors for the main roles. On june 21 , the preparatory period began and, as filmmakers say, the development of objects. When the group was not allowed into the moscow kremlin, the citadel of soviet power, production designer evgeny kumankov found a way out and offered to film on tour scenes near yaroslavl, in the ancient city of rostov the great. Just hurry up, boyar, im in a hurry, because those two also need to be returned, what will happen to them there, but their heads will be cut off, all business, all business, and the dog is with them, alive about demons, the idea is guessing. He took a lot of unique photographs, the impressions from the shooting became one of the most vivid in the photographers life. They fled here. The archers were running like this, they were hiding here in this niche, they were hiding like this, they were all standing here, i took a freeze frame on the camera, then the camera turned on again, they were already running towards the camera here, here, hold the demons, here in this courtyard the filming of the plot took place when the cavalry was leaving for the war, so. Let us fear for a long time, suddenly, like in a fairy tale , the door creaked, everything became clear to me now, help me, help me, its not bad to have haircuts, but its very bad on the other hand. For me this evening is very, very significant, because it was on december 31, 50 years ago , that the light came into being, of course i have to ask who you are, but i know the birthday, they are in the past, regrets, this is a bouquet of russia, you could many times leave here, i know how many theaters invited you, but you stayed so quickly, like. New years premiere is on the first, so we have very little time, only 40 minutes, why . We have a corporate account for video communication, unlicensed, free only 40 minutes. I foresaw that your qualifications were not enough and sent the best doctor in the country to you. Greetings, my dear friends. Well, which one of you has problems . A big difference. Do you think i have no business of my own, or what, or do you think i m washing down caviar with cognac, im lost, father, Homeless People are being interviewed on the first floor, be amazed, polite, otherwise ill upset you, but its impossible, january 1st on the first floor. On september 2 , 1972, the group returned to moscow, and gaida devoted the next 2 weeks to filming Street Scenes on location. The pursuit of miloslavsky, passages through the streets of the ambulance and the Police Station of the volga, the panorama of the modern capital, which the tsar saw from the balcony. Until the summer spirit left, gaida was filming the famous calls from a telephone box. Leonid kurablev, take after take, tried to pronounce the phrase in a womans voice, but the guy was clearly missing something, it didnt come out funny somehow. Dental clinic, hello. Natalya kustenskaya saved the situation. Checkmark, you re going to die, amazing news. I say, let me try. Im in a low voice said hello, this is mr. Shpak. Please, call anton semyonovich shpapka. You are worried about an actress. No, no, i dont know you, but i really want to meet you. I really want to meet you. With an asphalt shovel, it turns out. The autumn of 1972 came, gaidai sighed, the location was filmed, the group mastered the pavilion, but mosfilm built 16 objects apartments, shurik and shpak, a staircase, an elevator, a dentists office, the royal chambers, a refectory hall, and a royal reception room. From october 2 daily filming began. I was furious, i was in seventh heaven with happiness that i had finally lost weight, that here i am, now i will only play the game, not only the beauty, so he says, so that means this, in the morning, semolina porridge, two eggs in it, bread and no movements, and so on all day, until you get better, we wont film, for a week , he says, thats all, but i, he, of course, worked, but i came home in tears, crying, my husband says what happened, volodya, me the pictures were removed, he says why i lost so much weight, you, loving husband, actress vladimir krachkovsky was one of the best film sound engineers in the country, he perfectly understood the professional problems of his natasha and also had a sense of humor. Vladimir did not complain that his famous wife returned to her former curvaceous figure within a few days and continued filming. By the way, there was a problem in the final scene. The funny heroine of the film had to act in two wigs, put on one on top of the other, and you will be cured, there were two wigs, one was normal, red, and you will also be cured , the second was like, you know, like they will cure me, on a childs bathing cap, sewed they cut this beaver on the head, but they didnt cut my hair, i had quite long hair, you know how they pulled this one over a blank and put red hair on top. My dear mother, after about 15 minutes, my cheeks were visible, in my opinion, from the ponyak, thats where it was, because it was all flowing away and spreading like that, i say, im not tyrovich , im crawling, he says, where are you crawling, i say, the face is crawling, the face is not scary, as long as they dont crawl away themselves, even on the eve of filming, gaidai was wondering who could. Before filming , her participation in the film was under question. At that time, i was such a girl, a hussar. While visiting, i got into a fight and got hit in the eye. Yes, the next day, black eye, red eye. On the set, i successfully walked in when we werent included in the script and were filming right away, i went into shpaks apartment, there was a phrase in the script citizens, keep your money in the savings bank, and i say, ice, can i ill continue this phrase, come on, how will you continue . This phrase keep your money in a savings bank, if of course you have it yes, if you have them, of course you have something to store if you dont have money, right . Any improvisation requires thorough preparation. Gaida had a meticulous approach to work. Even before the launch of the film, the director made a detailed storyboard. This is called a storyboard, that is , a frame is drawn, here the frame is described, here is the apartment, the spa, yes, the pavilion, that is, it should be filmed in the pavilion and here is one frame and one line. Ulyana andreevna, tell me again. Who is this, tell me again, who is this . Here they are drawn, here is the whole scene storyboarded, it looks like he attached great importance to this, well, who is he . Ivan vasilyevich bonsha, here there are storyboards in general, very detailed such details, everything, everything is clearly written out, that he was still very much the kind of director for whom the storyboard was of great importance, so why do you have two husbands, two, both buns, he drew everything in advance, knew the turn of the head, these are some words, here he should say this, everything was. He saw her in advance, without taking her off, yet, but he already knew what they had to do, and he trusted the actors, hold on, and tell them not to rush back, let them take kazan on the way back, in this red scenario, guessing there was a possibility of dicta
