Konstantin Meladze: "Via Gra" - this is not producing the project

Konstantin Meladze. Producer, composer, poet, songwriter of the group VIA Gra. "Brother, my brother was born. 11 May 1963 in Georgia. Graduate music school, piano and violin and Nikolaev Shipbuilding Institute. Worked in the design office designer, until in 1989, interests in music seriously. Since 1989, played a group of Dialogue" Keyboards and writing songs, and his brother Valeri sang. The author of two slices of Dialogue ", the five solo albums Valery Meladze three albums the group VIA Gra" and three New Musicals. - This year's "VIA GR" is 5 years old. Of course, it is too early to live memories can say, but I wonder if you have achieved what they wanted, now think about their work? - Yes, time flies. In April 2000, I met with Nadia, May shot video "test 5", and at this time we can say, "Gra" was born. Initially, I took the group as a light-hearted project treated him half-jokingly. A few years later my friend Dmitry Kostyuk am convinced that we need to create a group of girls, but I refused. I am a very responsible person, and I can not do anything in half-strength. According to this principle, I have always worked with Valery. Fancy something different for me, to be honest, it was not. But eventually Dima convinced me. I first reluctantly, as a kind of fooling around to unwind and relax from work, took the case. Over time, of course, was involved, but it all started very funny. I have my life like serious music, Dima - creating TV and as a group of girls, we do not represent even close. Operated intuitively. Have some auditions, selected possible participants, in the end, only left Alain Vinnytsia, which worked to the "BUS-TV" and we had in mind initially. Quite by accident on tour in Ukraine Valery Meladze on tour in Khmelnitsky, I met with Nadia. I looked at her .. - ... And realized that she did it? - Not really. Once they do not impress me. Nadia was in the clothes, behaved very frightened, and understand that it is basically a spectacular girl was difficult. But still, I invited her to Kiev to trial. I remember Nadia at the time and marvel at how much a person is directed, can change shape themselves, from the person. At the moment we met her, she was absolutely wild girl, she could not really speak, right to express their thoughts. They beat the emotions of their unbridled nature. To be honest, I was not sure that it is right for us. But the audition was an amazing thing. Once the camera, Nadia completely redesigned. You press a button and light, consisting of ordinary glass, turned into a miniature sun. She began to flow of energy, amazing, natural art. We saw it and was blown away, and of course immediately took Nadia, although the risk was crazy because I was doing it completely. She was a tempest in a teapot, it is difficult, something specific to say. I am pragmatic and serious man, was the fact that our whole idea is so transitory horrified I was sure that it does not take long and Nadia away from us, but as you can see, it turned out, quite the opposite . We are not sensitive methods are constantly brought up, screamed, cursed for some offenses. -When on the screens out "Trying to 5" is made a splash. Of course it is not successful, that we compare, but for Ukraine, it was a shock. They were ready for such a success? - Do not be, we enjoyed it like a bolt from the blue. After the release of the video, along with a great success and we have a lot of trouble. Popularity - a pleasant thing, but due to the fact that neither we nor Allen with Nadia ready for it were not accumulate psychological stress and breaking awareness among girls. Literally from the first day the group has a fever. Was one of the first scandals, lapping character, form the laws of the collective. I know now that it was all natural and inevitable. Alain and Nadia out of the ordinary girls are actresses, in fact, stars. All subsequent peretrubatsii in the "Via Gra" comes from the fact that someone is dead. "Pregnancy and lactation Nadi - it was their protest against the crazy stress, which they received in the" Via Gra "- When the". Via Gra "old years, out of the blue, the news that Nadia became pregnant and left the band was how to take it - you know, one of the songs sung by" separation -. the little death "It is absolutely true and all-important concept that fully convey what us. after each event Nadi pregnancy - it was their answer to the crazy stress, she got kind of protest. Then we have, as now, no friends, do not feel the natives lived very different lives, and were so different that glue us together was unreal. Nadia love to leave pregnant and decided, because they felt we were not together is crucial. She did not believe in the group "VIA Gra". All this was in a fog, mist, abstraction, and the baby - the real had to endure it. It was their day, a priority. And if he had to choose between family and the group, they chose a new baby because she much closer, clearer and more necessary than a career. With us, it did not feel safe, and this was our Dima wine. - Why not? - As I said, forcing us through a seven-mile pace, Nadia wanted to go to his level, she tried, but passed my nerves sometimes. Alain Vinnytsia was 26 years old, she was nearly eight years older than Nadia. It felt very much like the fact that they were from different worlds. Nadia active and optimistic, Alena - pessimistic, depressed. Nadia a very young man, looking at this heterogeneous mixture, could not understand what was going on, and apparently it was hard to live by those laws. And it was hard. As a result, it blew out like a cork. She was forced to go to a decision, all the things we lost treasure, and come back to do. Without this it would not be a true artist. After birth to Nadya everything sort through them in life, and we realized that the most important and what is secondary. Dima we realized how important it is for the group, and she realized how much she needed scene. - They separated again with soloists of the collective, and each time left the party trying to get the most of your care. Created a scandal louder, say, not as long as you can remember. This is the essence of artists, this is understandable. Just like that, you probably had a feeling of despair and bitterness: so much invested in it, and he turned around and walked away. But why Nadia again? In the group They were spiritually close and could not lose each other and Nadia gave birth, repented and asked to be returned? - When on our heads falls further offense as a "fallback Soloist" is usually after we hit the stress after a month of me depressnyak sports included anger, and I start from the last resist fate. Nadia, as she passed, I experienced a strong shock, but then he pulled himself together and decided not to save the project. In St. Petersburg we have a girl that looks like Nadia forms found, but it is second to none in talent - Tanya Naynik. But when I work with her, it became clear that they would be together with Alena little. We decided to make us a trio of Dima. In mind, we had Anne, we are looking at the casting for the first composition, but at the time she was very young, seventeen. We have decided to follow their development. In 2002 the time had come. I had a long conversation with Anna, her story fear that a terrible work, hard, thankless, and it was as hard as flint and repeat: I agree. Then I thought of a few days, it is the poor worn out these days to find a place for himself, wrote to me the tragic SMSes that you can not torture. At the end, after weighing all the "pros" and "cons", Kostyuk we decided to take her. They removed the song "Stop Stop! Stop". The "Via Gra" came at a different level. Everything has changed. I was always careful to make music, and video. Changes observed and Nadia. She realized that the group develops, grows, and we care about their future. Even when she became pregnant in order to contact us with an inquiry, which would be after the birth, we made it back. I think she wanted to come back for more, because in my personal life began immediately with problems. But the whole time she was absolutely like a man behave nobly. Hidden from all, not to give a single comment, not a bad interview. And only a week after the birth, she was in the movie "Good Morning, Daddy." Nadia was very weak, terribly thin, swollen with milk. But it looked so pathetic, is a hero, despite the terrible stress and our terrible offense, Nadia, we presented the project, almost without thinking. Take it was not impossible. "I admit that was bad in Vinnitsa" Via Gra "- Idyll in Allen, Nagy Anna, as I recall, did not last long under the new 2003 left Alain - .. Short History of the band" VIA Gra "can in 2000, divided by 2003 and in 2003 to the present day. more I engrossed in the project, the more important it is to be for me, and the more I wanted to reach to perfection in the Member States, in the first place. Alena resources quickly executed and the further development of the group with her, I have not seen. Our views on the common cross and continue the flour was pointless. At one point, I thought, if I do not make people happy, at least for a moment, why make power? Finally, in its place would be people who would like to work in this project. We started looking for replacement candidates not change so long familiar with the faith. When I'm with Nadia, Anya and Faith, saw just realized this is an ideal that I was looking for. Now we are going to make a mega-success, is the best team. We started fantastic pace, or write music, be creative, shoot another video. Nothing and no one will bother us, because what has happened surprising unity of souls three artists and two producers. - What do you think, why Alain Vinnytsia still devotes his entire interview, as she was bad "Via Gra"? - I admit, that was bad in Vinnitsa "Via Gra" and I'm afraid, "Via Gra" was not very good with him. It is remarkable that they are now in the conditions in which they wanted to work. - Do you think Allen satisfied with my career? - You feel in harmony with the people who are their team. And with us, she was in disharmony. That's the only difference. But I'm sure the ex-brand "Via Gra" will remain with her for life, with other soloists deceased. "How, after leaving Nadi and follow Ani, as we ask for" Via Gra "in general" - I can not ask about Anna Sedokova. Their situation was very similar to the story of Nadia. Became pregnant and left. Only different endings. - Care of Ani was a tragedy for the group that flew in their "golden section" no time and mileage on their own wings. Misery. As after leaving Nadi and follow Ani, as we ask for "Via Gra" at all, or leave it all to hell and a little more rewarding. It was also a blow to us because. Of what happened very suddenly and out of season, the first peak of popularity I had a million plans, and they were suddenly shattered. Girls actresses are overwhelmed, as astronauts in space. Who's going - is back in orbit. After about six months, popularity, touring, blurred the line between reality star life and the stage. Hard to separate the personal life and work. What is more important, promises do not understand, but you need to choose. Anna has her choice we had was just agree there is no alternative. Anya would not nobody ever fired from the group, like the other girls we meet simply by incompetence. But her back was no longer possible, and say that was an option to cancel the operation and return to the group - as well. God forbid, I would never have done, that the topic has not been discussed. Neither career is not worth someone's life. Around this time we worked together, I can remember only the good. I am grateful to her for what she did, for the group, for the wonderful two years that we lived with an idea, burning, creating great stuff, works wonders. I am sure that these are mere memories last a lifetime. - You will not spoil, even Anya statement that you put the knife in the back? - I can not comment on those words. When Anne left, I always said to her, give birth and come back, we are happy to wait, wait, like Nadia. But at the same time to know, Anna, I clearly understood: it's forever. Maybe Anna was furious about the fact that their place of another girl that "Via Gra" was taken still survived, although they were all reasons for the group disbanded. But why was he so much hurt, I do not know. I could not resolve team and a half to two years, so that a number of relatives and friends, the people I disappoint fans love "VIA Gra". In fact, or they had to give up her child, and I of him. - So you have chosen the most sensible option: stay with their child, and I - with him. - In place of Anna, we have the light Loboda. In the search for the sudden change in two weeks at your own risk, we were in the project lead, to think that over time it will develop in the desired direction, but it did not. A few months later, we leave quietly. The light is not in the format of "Via Gra" in every respect. Despite the fact that it can, and a good girl. - The Return Sedokova the group was not taken into consideration? Anna, according to the latest articles, offended that you promised to take over the group, but now they are called. - She swore "VIA Gra" will never come back, I even offered her a language does not turn on. Albina - and the space is now occupied by a man whom we love. With the advent of Albina all in our team was in place, it finally put peace, tranquility, harmony and understanding perfectly. And Anna Sedokova, I admit, was a beautiful chapter in the history books. The current "Via Gra" - Nadia, Vera, Albina - a great team, with whom I always want. This is not random people, not puppets, dolls prodyussiruemye as in other groups, but the real artist, make a selection. His personal life, communication with children, relatives they put men on the altar of the stage and serve. She is not finished yet, they do not need to squeeze the juice, they do not need to make. They understand everything. It's great, very lucky, we're all together. "I lose all the girl was afraid and I was horrified to forward to the moment when one of them says:" Bones, I Gone "- It was a coincidence that each of the singers of the" Via Gra "have small children ., but not in men it not seem to you, as a producer, the best option - From the perspective of the male psychology, I am sure no man can stand such a life Her 15-20 days are not at home, and even when she is at home, it's still not with him. and will on the set, installation, interview in the cabin. 'm afraid not loving husband not allow his wife for a month in hell, he will surely jealous be and will not rest until it's not to him alone belong This situation can not I not to disturb her I'm losing each of the girls fear, and I was horrified to forward to the moment when one of them says..: "Bones, I chose a different path and go." I hope that, even if one of them gets married, it will be a miracle, and we can find a reasonable compromise between family and creative activities. Thinking to change the conditions to negotiate, but we can not lose each other. It was hard to find each other and lose, regret it. - In addition, the love of man, if it's not on, speed work ... - Absolutely. In contrast, people who may be completely opposite to answer love that scene, if you dedicated to her until the end and honest, responsible gratitude. Maybe the girls are at this stage and have a career that is why elected. But I try to think as little as possible to chase away bad thoughts. Every day you have to live as if you'll live forever. I live and work with the idea that the "Via Gra" will ever be, and that all will be well. - I think, "Gra" is unique in the sense that no life can not scrape up changes to its popularity and the true love of the audience. There are a lot of girl group band, but they mainly produce sad spectacle. And your project. Every year as an elite expensive wine, getting better, higher and higher, even if it sometimes seems that the top is nowhere - How Malchish Kibalchish was a secret, and burzhuiny repeatedly tried to blackmail her, but the truth was very basic things, and I have a secret to the success of our group. It is simple to the point where no one believes it. We have a fantastic team. All our work is based on the principle of good relations based. Between us and the girls have no contracts, not a single piece of paper, which would prohibit all. Singers have "Via Gra" large salaries because they do not have to feel like no one else depends. Each dependency - paper or financial - is to prevent them from real. And I will not sign any papers with them and I will never do etogone. Not possible with paper prohibit pregnant woman, if she wants, and thus influence the birth of new life. To write music hands free and with full freedom of action. I'm in the "VIA Gra" put their hearts, and if not, how these people, they probably do not make millions of fans love. And no contracts, no papers and no prohibition of love can not be replaced. When people between energy transfer and attraction are no longer stop - break it, that's all. And let me say that we have a common rotation in the squad. If there were no withdrawals soloists who were not close to us in spirit, there would be the "Via Gra" be. "Via Gra" - is not covsem producer project, it is people who together achieve their common dream. We bring joy to our fans, to give life to the stage, come. I would not say that the girls learned something supernatural especially, I could give them the energy that we used to have with Valera, our brand, accumulated meladzevskuyu. "Via Gra" - is not a-day project, we have come to stay. More than five years, we celebrate the 10th Anniversary, I hope, with the same composition. No, I'm sure. - But it is a mixed group, children Nadia, Vera and Albina is older. - Let both grow, kids, we also. - Then there is the family group has certainly ... - Easy, I'm ready! www.via-gra.ru
