So that you understand the level - in 1999 the group received a Gramophone, and in 2000 Pugacheva herself invited her to her "Christmas Meetings"

For the first incomplete 4 years of work, the guys released as many as 5 albums, and they would not have stopped there if a new soloist had not appeared in 2003. Personnel changes were not to their liking, and the team, consisting of soloist Lesha Elistratov and guitarist Dima Belonosov, created their own group - now they were not Revolvers, but Revolvers.

Rules

Before the start of the project, three-month auditions were held for two days, during which the jury looked at several thousand applicants in the cities of Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Kazan, Novosibirsk, Ufa, Rostov-on-Don, Krasnodar, Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Moscow. Even older people came to the casting. A total of 8,000 people took part in the project.

On the first day, 2 songs were listened to without musical accompaniment. Those who were admitted to Day 2 had to prepare some of the 10 proposed songs and demonstrate their ability to dance.

The selection was made by three judges:

• BBC Russian Service DJ Seva Novgorodtsev
• producer Alexey Makarevich
• well-known journalist, director and TV presenter Fyokla Tolstaya

100 people were invited to the 2nd round in Moscow. All qualifying rounds were filmed and shown on the Rossiya channel.

• Katya Ryabina (Moscow). Finalist. At the very end, the judges out of ten did not choose her in the top five, considering her an artist created exclusively for a solo career.
• Camilla Tutaeva (Kazan). A very unusual participant with a characteristic appearance. On the project, she tried to stay together with the "Kazan party". She was among the lucky ones invited to Moscow, where she went through several stages of the competition in a country hotel and reached fifty. She left the project together with another bright participant from Kazan, Kirill Sharafutdinov.
• Ksenia Bykova (Rostov). One of the brightest and most scandalous participants in the project. Reached the top thirty. She was remembered for her open negative statements about other contestants. She sang in the same group with another participant and semi-finalist of the project, Elmira Gubaidulina.
• Igor Shiyanov (Stavropol). He reached the semi-finals, but did not make it to the top ten finalists.
• Reseda Marselevna Akhmedova (Kazan). A girl with a "flower" name, as one of the judges called her. Reseda successfully passed the casting in Kazan and already at the preliminary stages of the competition she sang not in a duet, but in a quartet.

• Agnia Pasechnik (Kazan). Subsequently, she worked as a VJ on the Muz-TV channel. Reached twenty in the project.
• Pynina Dina (Nizhny Novgorod). The "biggest" participant of the project. After successfully passing the casting in her city, she was invited to the next stage of the project in Moscow on the condition that she would try to lose weight as much as possible. However, the jury considered that she not only did not lose weight, but, on the contrary, gained more weight, and after the next dance stage of the competition, she left the project.
• Sokolov Oleg (Moscow). Reached the top fifty. Received the nickname "shadow of Yampolsky" from the film crew of the project, as he always followed the "shadow" of another bright participant in the project, Anton Yampolsky.
• Platonova Zhanna (Moscow). She successfully passed the Moscow casting and was among the hundreds of lucky ones from all over the country who got to the next stage of the casting in a country hotel. However, then her nerves began to fail her, and after the next stage, Zhanna fell ill in her room and was almost taken away by an ambulance, but Zhanna still decided to continue the fight. She made it to the top thirty and was expelled after an interview test, where she answered a journalist's question that quitting smoking was a heroic feat for her.
• Anastasia Donets (Rostov region, Novopoltavsky village). Despite the fact that Anastasia did not even make it into the top twenty semi-finalists, she was certainly remembered by all the audience of the project without exception and at the final gala concert she received a ticket to Paris as an audience award.
• Andrey Lysyakov (Kazan). Got into the project on the second try. Without passing the casting in his city, he followed the film crew further. As a result, the jury members recognized him and admitted him to the competition. Andrey got into a hundred participants invited to Moscow. Constantly communicated and kept together with the so-called "Kazan party" of the project (brothers Sharafutdinov, Kamilla Tutaeva, Elmira Gubaidulina, Ksenia Bykova). The author of the words of a kind of anthem of the project, created in collaboration with Kirill Sharafutdinov, which the participants performed at the final stage of the competition, when there were twenty applicants for a place in the group. He was invited to Moscow, where, like the members of the group, he signed a contract with a recording company as the author of the song "Sing like it's the last time."
• Robert Pertaya (St. Petersburg). Got in the top thirty. He stood out from all the other participants with his small stature and fatness, but despite this, he moved well and stayed in the project longer than all overweight people.
• Elmira Gubaidulina (Rostov)
• Dmitry Deryabin (Moscow). Received the nickname "bright red Dmitry". As well as another participant in the project, Roman Beresnev (who eventually got into the group), Dmitry is the owner of bright red hair. He successfully passed the selection in Moscow and was invited to the next stage of the show in a country hotel. Having successfully passed several stages already there, Dmitry ended up in the top five along with Roman during one of the competitive tasks, where the comparison was not in Deryabin's favor and as a result he had to leave the project. Reached the top thirty.
• Sergey Obosyan (Moscow). On the project, he received the nickname "eternally dissatisfied Sergei." He actively commented on all the shortcomings of the organization of the project and the inconvenience of being in isolation. He was one of the hundred lucky ones invited to the next stage of selection in a hotel near Moscow, but dropped out after a dance competition. After the project, he continued to actively conquer the domestic show business. He organized concerts, collaborated for a long time with Laima Vaikule as a backing vocalist in her show.
• Vladislav Oganov (Moscow). In the project, he got into a hundred, but then he flew out in the first selection. Just like Panayotov and Chernyshova the following year, he went to conquer the People's Artist project, but there he could only get into the top thirty.
• Anton Yampolsky (subsequently participated in the fourth season of the TV project "Star Factory"). The project was among the top ten finalists.

Pavel in three different questionnaires indicated a date of birth different from the passport. Despite this, he was among the hundred lucky ones invited to Moscow and managed to "survive" several stages already there. However, then the deception was revealed and Pavel left the competition right during the rehearsals.
• Irina Chernyshova (St. Petersburg). She was nicknamed "the ever-crying Irina." On the project, I got into the top twenty, reached the semi-finals.

Excerpt characterizing Become a star

When Boris and Anna Pavlovna returned to the common circle, Prince Ippolit took over the conversation.
He moved forward in his chair and said: Le Roi de Prusse! [King of Prussia!] and saying this, he laughed. Everyone turned to him: Le Roi de Prusse? asked Hippolyte, laughed again, and again calmly and seriously sat down in the back of his armchair. Anna Pavlovna waited for him a little, but since Hippolyte resolutely did not seem to want to talk any more, she began to talk about how the godless Bonaparte stole the sword of Frederick the Great in Potsdam.
- C "est l" epee de Frederic le Grand, que je ... [This is the sword of Frederick the Great, which I ...] - she began, but Hippolytus interrupted her with the words:
- Le Roi de Prusse ... - and again, as soon as he was addressed, he apologized and fell silent. Anna Pavlovna grimaced. Morte Mariet, a friend of Hippolyte, turned to him resolutely:
Voyons a qui en avez vous avec votre Roi de Prusse? [Well, what about the Prussian king?]
Hippolyte laughed, as if he were ashamed of his own laughter.
- Non, ce n "est rien, je voulais dire seulement ... [No, nothing, I just wanted to say ...] (He intended to repeat the joke that he heard in Vienna, and which he was going to post all evening.) Je voulais dire seulement, que nous avons tort de faire la guerre pour le roi de Prusse [I just wanted to say that we are fighting in vain pour le roi de Prusse.
Boris smiled cautiously, in a way that could be regarded as mockery or approval of the joke, depending on how it was received. Everyone laughed.
“Il est tres mauvais, votre jeu de mot, tres spirituel, mais injuste,” said Anna Pavlovna, shaking her wrinkled finger. - Nous ne faisons pas la guerre pour le Roi de Prusse, mais pour les bons principes. Ah, le mechant, ce prince Hippolytel [Your pun is not good, very clever, but unfair; we do not fight pour le roi de Prusse (i.e., over trifles), but for good beginnings. Oh, how evil he is, this Prince Ippolit!] - she said.
The conversation did not subside all evening, turning mainly around political news. At the end of the evening, he became especially animated when it came to the awards granted by the sovereign.
“After all, last year NN received a snuffbox with a portrait,” said l "homme a l" esprit profond, [a man of deep mind,] - why can't SS receive the same award?
- Je vous demande pardon, une tabatiere avec le portrait de l "Empereur est une recompense, mais point une distinction," said the diplomat, un cadeau plutot. [Sorry, the snuffbox with the portrait of the Emperor is an award, not a distinction; rather a gift.]
– Il y eu plutot des antecedents, je vous citerai Schwarzenberg. [There were examples - Schwarzenberg.]
- C "est impossible, [It's impossible,]" another objected.
- Pari. Le grand cordon, c "est different ... [The ribbon is another matter ...]
When everyone got up to leave, Helen, who had spoken very little all evening, again turned to Boris with a request and an affectionate, significant order that he be with her on Tuesday.
“I really need this,” she said with a smile, looking back at Anna Pavlovna, and Anna Pavlovna, with that sad smile that accompanied her words when she spoke about her high patroness, confirmed Helen’s desire. It seemed that that evening, from some words spoken by Boris about the Prussian army, Helen suddenly discovered the need to see him. She seemed to promise him that when he arrived on Tuesday, she would explain this necessity to him.
Arriving on Tuesday evening at Helen's magnificent salon, Boris did not receive a clear explanation why he needed to come. There were other guests, the countess spoke little to him, and only saying goodbye, when he kissed her hand, she, with a strange lack of a smile, unexpectedly, in a whisper, said to him: Venez demain diner ... le soir. Il faut que vous veniez… Venez. [Come tomorrow for dinner… in the evening. You need to come… Come.]
On this visit to St. Petersburg, Boris became a close friend in the house of Countess Bezukhova.

The war flared up, and its theater was approaching the Russian borders. Everywhere curses were heard to the enemy of the human race Bonaparte; warriors and recruits gathered in the villages, and contradictory news came from the theater of war, as always false and therefore differently interpreted.
The life of the old Prince Bolkonsky, Prince Andrei and Princess Marya has changed in many ways since 1805.
In 1806, the old prince was appointed one of the eight commanders-in-chief of the militia, then appointed throughout Russia. The old prince, despite his senile weakness, which became especially noticeable at that period of time when he considered his son killed, did not consider himself entitled to refuse the position to which he had been appointed by the sovereign himself, and this newly revealed activity aroused and strengthened him. He constantly traveled around the three provinces entrusted to him; he was dutiful to the point of pedantry in his duties, strict to the point of cruelty with his subordinates, and he himself went to the smallest details of the case. Princess Mary had already stopped taking mathematical lessons from her father, and only in the mornings, accompanied by a nurse, with the little prince Nikolai (as his grandfather called) would enter her father's study when he was at home. The infant Prince Nikolai lived with his nurse and nanny Savishna in the half of the late princess, and Princess Mary spent most of the day in the nursery, replacing, as best she could, the mother of her little nephew. M lle Bourienne also, it seemed, passionately loved the boy, and Princess Mary, often depriving herself, conceded to her friend the pleasure of nursing the little angel (as she called her nephew) and playing with him.
At the altar of the Lysogorsk church there was a chapel over the grave of the little princess, and a marble monument brought from Italy was erected in the chapel, depicting an angel spreading its wings and preparing to ascend to heaven. The angel had a slightly raised upper lip, as if he was about to smile, and once Prince Andrei and Princess Marya, leaving the chapel, admitted to each other that it was strange, the face of this angel reminded them of the face of the deceased. But what was even stranger, and what Prince Andrei did not say to his sister, was that in the expression that the artist accidentally gave to the face of an angel, Prince Andrei read the same words of meek reproach that he had read then on the face of his dead wife: “Ah, why did you do this to me?…”
Shortly after the return of Prince Andrei, the old prince separated his son and gave him Bogucharovo, a large estate located 40 versts from Lysy Gory. Partly because of the difficult memories associated with the Bald Mountains, partly because Prince Andrei did not always feel able to bear the character of his father, and partly because he needed solitude, Prince Andrei took advantage of Bogucharov, built there and spent most of time.
Prince Andrew, after the Austerlitz campaign, firmly decided never to serve in military service again; and when the war broke out, and everyone had to serve, he, in order to get rid of active service, accepted a position under the command of his father in collecting the militia. The old prince and his son seemed to change roles after the campaign of 1805. The old prince, excited by activity, expected all the best from a real campaign; Prince Andrei, on the contrary, not participating in the war and in the secret of his soul regretting that, saw one bad thing.
On February 26, 1807, the old prince left for the district. Prince Andrei, as for the most part during his father's absences, remained in the Bald Mountains. Little Nikolushka was unwell for the 4th day. The coachmen who carried the old prince returned from the city and brought papers and letters to Prince Andrei.
The valet with letters, not finding the young prince in his office, went to Princess Mary's half; but he wasn't there either. The valet was told that the prince went to the nursery.
“Please, Your Excellency, Petrusha has come with papers,” said one of the girls of the nurse’s assistant, turning to Prince Andrei, who was sitting on a small children’s chair and with trembling hands, frowning, was dripping medicine from a glass into a glass filled halfway with water.
- What's happened? - he said angrily, and with a careless trembling of his hand, he poured an extra amount of drops from the glass into a glass. He poured the medicine out of the glass onto the floor and again asked for water. The girl gave it to him.
In the room there was a crib, two chests, two armchairs, a table and a children's table and chair, the one on which Prince Andrei was sitting. The windows were hung, and a single candle burned on the table, lit by a bound music book, so that the light would not fall on the crib.
“My friend,” Princess Marya said, turning to her brother, from the bed by which she was standing, “it’s better to wait ... after ...
“Ah, do me a favor, you keep talking nonsense, you waited all the time - so you waited,” said Prince Andrei in an angry whisper, apparently wanting to prick his sister.
“My friend, it’s better not to wake him up, he fell asleep,” the princess said in an imploring voice.
Prince Andrei got up and, on tiptoe, with a glass, went to the bed.
- Or just not wake up? he said hesitantly.
"As you wish - right ... I think ... but as you wish," said Princess Mary, apparently shy and ashamed that her opinion had triumphed. She pointed out to her brother the girl who was calling him in a whisper.
It was the second night that both of them were awake, taking care of the boy who was burning in the heat. All these days, not trusting their family doctor and waiting for the one for whom they were sent to the city, they took this and that other means. Exhausted by insomnia and anxious, they dumped their grief on each other, reproached each other and quarreled.
“Petrusha with papers from papa,” the girl whispered. - Prince Andrew left.
- Well, what is there! - he said angrily, and after listening to verbal orders from his father and taking the submitted envelopes and a letter from his father, he returned to the nursery.

Other rules

Other Rules is a group created in 2002 following the results of the Become a Star contest on the RTR TV channel. As a result of the selection, performers from Ufa, Kemerovo, Moscow and St. Petersburg became members of the group: Karina Akhmetzaripova, Roman Beresnev, Janet Kavesa, Alexei Ignatov and Alena Selezneva.

The group became popular among domestic radio listeners mainly for the songs “Wind of Memory”, “Without You”, and also “Read in the Eyes”. The guys released three albums, the debut was the full-length disc "Fly!" published in 2003. According to the information provided by the official website of the group's agent Other Rules, from 2003 to 2009 the group also included Sofya Ignatova, but the group's producers decided that this did not benefit the project. In 2009, the old line-up was renewed. Other Rules also maintain an online blog located in LiveJournal, which allows their fans to always be aware of all the events in the life of the project. Now you can also order the Other Rules group to perform at your event.

Returning to the origins of the Other Rules group, it is impossible not to mention the "Become a Star" contest. It was conducted by TV channel Rossiya in autumn 2002. Unlike other musical television projects, the broadcasts of "Become a Star" began with castings in various cities of Russia. In total, 8,000 people took part in the qualifying rounds, of which only 100 were invited to the final qualifying round in Moscow. Quite strict conditions were put forward for applicants for a place in the project, they had to sing several songs and demonstrate their ability to dance in 2 qualifying rounds. Many finalists of the competition after its completion got jobs on various Russian TV channels. The organization of the concert of the group Other Rules, in turn, became the main goal of the producers of the show after the successful completion of the filming of the reality show.

Other Rules is a group that was incredibly popular in the early 2000s. Do you know the names and surnames of the team members? Or maybe you are interested in their biography? The necessary information is in the article. We wish you happy reading!

History of creation

In September 2002, the Rossiya TV channel launched the musical project Become a Star, an analogue of the world-famous PopStars show. Thousands of ordinary girls and guys who came from different parts of our country came to the casting. As a result, only three dozen participants were selected. They had to live for several months under the guns of cameras, attend classes of choreographers and vocal masters, and also perform at reporting concerts.

Other Rules is a group created as part of the Become a Star project. She united 5 young, talented and ambitious performers (three girls and two guys). It's time to name them. The group included: Roma Beresnev, Jeannette Kavesa, Alexei Ignatov, Alena Selezneva and Karina Akhmetzaripova.

The team reached the final and was declared the winner of the show. The song "Fly! Run!" appealed to millions of Russian listeners. The guys left the "star house". But their career did not end there, but rather continued.

The names and surnames of the Other Rules team were announced above. Now let's take a quick look at their biography.

Jeannette Kaveza

An attractive mulatto was born in 1981 in Moscow. From the age of 5 she participated in music competitions and festivals. She never did vocals. I just loved to sing. But Jeannette graduated from the music school. For several years, the mulatto learned to play the piano. The teachers praised her. And the girl graduated from the academic school at the Moscow Conservatory.

Jeannette's main vocation is music. “Other Rules” is the project that allowed her to show her abilities and realize herself creatively. But in 2003, she left the band to pursue a solo career.

Alena Selezneva

She was born in 1985 in the town of Tosno, in the Leningrad region. Since childhood, she was engaged in ballroom dancing and attended a music studio. Alena participated in various competitions and programs, including the famous "Morning Star".

Roman Beresnev

This fashionable and smiling guy was born in Dresden (Germany). A few months later, his family returned to Russia. At the age of 9, Roman was accepted into the troupe of the children's theater, to the vocal department. After some time, he began to participate in local and regional amateur competitions. Often the boy won prizes.

Karina Akhmetzaripova

A native of Ufa from childhood dreamed of becoming a famous singer. Her parents (musicians) fully supported her daughter. From the age of 5, Karina attended a vocal studio. Thanks to perseverance and great talent, she managed to get first to the Become a Star project, and then to the Other Rules team. The group turned out bright and close-knit.

Alexey Ignatov

Born in 1976 in Moscow. From an early age, the boy was engaged in dancing and music. He mastered such instruments as the balalaika and the guitar. In April 2016, Alexei left this world. The circumstances of his death were not disclosed. Ignatov left a son and a wife.

Speeches

In 2003, the guys released their debut album Fly! Run! The entire circulation in a matter of days was sold out by fans of the Other Rules group. The band members gave several concerts in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

But with touring activities had to wait. What is it connected with? Have people really stopped buying tickets for the concerts of the Other Rules group? The composition of the group changed in 2003. It didn't happen in one day. First, Jeannette announced her departure. Then Karina followed suit. The remaining guys had to urgently look for a replacement for them. As a result, they took only one girl - Sofia Ignatova, the former soloist of the Party group. With her appearance, the team received a second wind. Together with Alena, the team recorded the album "Let's push off - we'll be attracted." He proved to be very successful.

Finally

Other Rules is a group that has made a certain contribution to the development of Russian pop music. All the guys who performed as part of this team are talented performers and comprehensively developed personalities. We wish them further success and happiness in their personal lives!

Remember, on the RTR channel about 7 years ago there was a program “Become a Star”? I remember that I was so worried about the participants, as they are probably now rooting for ours at the Olympics! Does anyone know what happened to the group? Well, they seem to have died from the strength of the year 2? Write.

the contract has expired

found on YouTube Fly, run! their. and really unpretentious, but Pts nice music. and they are all so cute!

well, it’s good that the group disappeared! I remember their song, fly, run, such a primitive!

turned out to be useless - neither to the public, nor to the producers. Still, the brilliant ones with the Tutsians and the factory would have shot somewhere, it would be very well.

In my opinion, initially mediocrity was gathered into this group according to some incomprehensible principles, but the really interesting guys were “weeded out”. There, a girl from St. Petersburg (Irina, it seems) showed herself well, who is now in Assorted, then still plump, who was weeded out because of a non-standard figure. I really liked Nastya Donets - that's where the voice and innate musicality (the voice is very good) - she would have a good musical education and more or less promotion, she would be more than a good singer. Alas, these three were weeded out as "non-format". They also “weeded out” a guy there, who later took second place in the show “People’s Artist”, he also sang the song “Moon Melody” with the Valley (he has enough decent songs of his own), and in general often flashes on TV.

I saw Karina in another group, she sang with a blonde girl, I don’t remember the name of the group and the songs too. It was 2-3 years ago, I was also surprised then. And there was a lot of noise. And they rented a separate house for them, and this and that. Looks like Shulgin is a useless producer, or he began to rock them, like Valeria.

Jeannette (mulatto) in the musical I saw like. ABBA

Alexander Panayotov is his name. Karina and Jeannette left the group rather quickly, sort of like "decided to pursue a solo career", haha. They took another young lady, Alena was turned from a blonde into a brunette. They sang mostly in clubs. In order not to lie, it seems that not so long ago I saw a video where they performed in the original line-up (with Jeannette and Karina) in some kind of club.

gr. "Other Rules". The whole truth about the group's disappearance.

- about the initial scandal of his production company WWW.RECORDS with the management of the Russia TV channel, the producers of the TV project "Become a Star", the WEST MEDIA company

The TV project "Become a Star" (known all over the world as PopStars), which started on the Rossiya TV channel in September 2002, clearly demonstrated that ordinary boys and girls from various cities of Russia can become real stars - they are talented, purposeful and worthy, stand on the same stage with the recognized luminaries of our stage.

In 2002, the Other Rules group left the television project Become a Star and became an independent group. The guys passed all the tests: a casting of 8 thousand people, life under the supervision of television cameras, a huge amount of work. The group was created as a wide brand that combines the image of young, talented, energetic, successful boys and girls, the brand's motto was the phrase from the first song "Ordinary boys, simple girls fly towards life!"
Following unprecedentedly idealistic principles from the point of view of a cynical show business, this project attracted the attention of millions of Russians. In front of the eyes of the whole country, ordinary guys step by step approached glory, realizing their incredible dream.

So that you understand the level - in 1999 the group received a Gramophone, and in 2000 Pugacheva herself invited her to her "Christmas Meetings"

For the first incomplete 4 years of work, the guys released as many as 5 albums, and they would not have stopped there if a new soloist had not appeared in 2003.

GROUP "Other Rules"

Information

22 entries suggest news

Karina Akhmetzaripova: "If we love ourselves, then the world loves us."

Karina Akhmetzaripova, a former member of the Other Rules group, created in 2002 as a result of the first Russian musical TV show Become a Star, gave an interview to the Paints of Inspiration magazine, in which she spoke about how the life of a “simple girl” turned out after leaving the popular team. Our editors also invite you to learn interesting details from the childhood and youth of the future singer and recall the successful reality show of the Rossiya TV channel Become a Star.

1. - Karina, probably a traditional question. You were born in an artistic family: dad is a conductor, mom is an opera theater actress. Was it predetermined that you would become a musician?

- Karina: - Since my parents were connected with music, they instilled in me a love for it almost from the cradle: they always took me to the theater and to various concerts. Naturally, at an early age I was sent to a music school, where I studied the piano. In addition, I sang, participated in some endless vocal competitions and also as a pianist. Dad really wanted me to become a pianist, but it was not destined to please him. Music always accompanies me, and I can't imagine myself without it. My whole life revolves around art and, probably, there was no other way.

2. - Life and work moments forced your parents to move often. Moving to an unfamiliar city affects, first of all, the emotional state. Was it easy for you to adapt to the new environment?

Karina: - Yes, of course, my parents constantly traveled with me. If people found out that we moved so many times, to such different cities, they always asked me if my parents were in the military. But no, musicians and artists. Actually, we are Tatars - a nomadic people, everything is in the blood here (laughs). And, in general, adaptation is such a very common thing. The most difficult thing was to move from Irkutsk, having lived there for a long time. I was 13 years old, and it was my first move at such a conscious age. It was even more difficult to move from Ufa to Petrozavodsk. That year I graduated from high school. Like any sixteen-year-old teenager, it seemed to me that the friends made would be eternal, and any changes would be a global catastrophe. Everything was especially aggravated by the fact that I did not have a graduation party. It was on the day when my classmates congratulated each other on their graduation, enjoyed the first completed stage in their lives, that I was on the Ufa-Petrozavodsk train. I was very sad, of course, because I unbearably wanted to be with all my friends and girlfriends.

VKontakte Facebook Odnoklassniki

Started brightly in 2002 with the hit " Fly-Run", group " Other Rules” disappeared from the field of view of the press for a long time. And all because the team, which did not want the glory of an artificially created project, wanted to develop naturally, bypassing the "black PR". As it turned out, now the “Rules” have everything “in chocolate”, they are releasing a new album. Just like the acclaimed single, it is titled with two verbs and a dash between them. The KM RU correspondent decided to clarify all the details of the release of the new disc.

We were selected according to the sign of the Zodiac

We wanted to make ourselves as bright as possibleKM RU: I would like to know where and why you disappeared for so long. After all, there was such a promising project, with a powerful message that we would play in show business by different rules. And where does it all go?

It's not like we've been gone for so long. Well, maybe they disappeared for a year, and even then not quite. Anyway, we appear somewhere, perform, work. Big changes have taken place within the group. We have experienced a change in the composition, and such things for the team do not pass without a trace. We have been preparing new material for a very long time, reworking the old program. It took about six months. At other times, we were preparing for concerts and filming a video, photo shoots, etc. That is, we wanted to declare ourselves as brightly as possible: that we are still alive and still exist.

KM RU: But your first albums didn't have the resonance they could have.

Yes you are right. We just wanted to subject ourselves to natural selection. After all, at one time we went through an artificial project, so in the end we wanted to prove to ourselves that we are real, that we are going towards our goal on our own, and not due to endless PR. For real artists only after three or four years begin to achieve what they need. Therefore, we are on the right slow path. It is better to work more with rough labor than to show oneself from the worst side. We wanted to work and get out

KM RU: By artificial project, you mean this TV show "Become a Star"?

Yes, that's what we've always been called. They talked about how it was impossible, they say, they hyped it up, showed it - and everyone already knows. Therefore, this label “Become a Star” still stands on us, although 2.5 years have passed since that time. But we have not been working with the RTR channel for a long time.

KM RU: And to what extent did the artificiality of the project provoke (or did it not provoke) artificial relations within the team?

Didn't provoke. We all became friends right away, as the team was selected competently, almost even according to the sign of the Zodiac. Therefore, we do not have any artificiality - and so far we have no special friction. If we swear, then only at work. We don't even fight, we argue. Still, we have 4 people, all very bright personalities. Therefore, there are some frictions, but we quickly overcome them. After all, we all have a desire for success and a common goal. Therefore, we overcome all these obstacles on our way and do not scatter on conflicts.

At the moment we do not have a producer

KM RU: Does the producer decide a lot in your team?

We don't have a producer at the moment. Yes, it's not about the producer. We originally signed a five-year record deal with a record company to release albums. Of course, we have certain responsibilities to her. First of all, these duties relate to the release of musical products. Everything else, of course, is not discussed with us, since in addition to the company we also have a music producer. Here they have changed two times, as we worked on completely different material. On the first album it was Alexander Shulgin, the second record we did with many people, because it was interesting for us. All who worked with us are very good and talented people. The main thing is that we do not have the word of one person, but there are opinions of several people who add up to one big thing.

KM RU: So no producer pressured you?

They teach us how to make music right. Still, initially we came to the project small, uncouth - and certain responsibilities fell on us. And of course, we had to be taught everything, brought up to date, we had to instill, finally, the right habits. At the moment, all this lives in us, for which we are very grateful to those people who managed to work with us. We are ready for new collaborations. If we work with the same person for five years, we will simply outlive ourselves. Beautiful. Now we are very satisfied with Igor Tyan, with whom we work. He is very talented and easy to work with. He made a few last songs for us, we hope for further cooperation. And also Artyom "Plokhish" Orlov, Lyubasha and Yegor Negin recorded with us.

KM RU: Can you tell us about your impressions of working with Shulgin?

This man works - this is how he works! And we never touched personal questions with him. When we worked with him, it was just the peak of his scandal with Valeria, however, this did not affect us in any way. Shulgin is very demanding. He never yells, but he can say that it would be better if he yelled. In fact, he is quite a stern person, but he is easy to work with. Shulgin always listened to our opinion, we usually discussed everything with him - right down to the costumes. We had a father-child relationship with him. Even a child can be afraid of his parents, but with Shulgin everything was at the level of friendship, help and mutual understanding.

Karina was removed due to unsuitability

We rarely go to InternetKM RU: And for what reason did you change the members of the group? There are a lot of rumors about this, they even talk about the alcoholism of some of your former allies?

clearly stated ( general laughter). In principle, there is some truth in these rumors. Rumors don't just happen. Our girls Zhanna and Karina once had a question about how to leave the team and do something of their own. Although it is impossible to do so simply. There are certain obligations, a contract ... At a certain moment, we had a new producer - Yegor Negin, and said that he wanted to see the composition of the group somewhat different. And at that moment, Zhanna just expressed her desire to leave the team. And Karina was removed due to incompetence. It's just that the group has grown a little - and Karina did not meet the new requirements. She found a replacement in the form of Sonya, who did everything that was required of her. Moreover, we were afraid that the fans might not understand the new changes. At the first concert in the updated line-up, fans have already asked Sonya for an autograph. Let her tell you everything herself.

Sonya: I came to the team from the Party group. When I realized that there were no prospects for further development, I can say that such a good option turned up. I agreed without hesitation for a second. Then she passed according to the results of qualifying competitions and rehearsals and very quickly joined after four months of the preparatory period. The fans of the group fell in love with me immediately, they never threw rotten tomatoes at concerts.

KM RU: Is it true that you, Sonya, worked with Nikita Malinin?

Sonya: Yes, yes, that was before Party. The story of my getting into show business is not accidental, since since childhood I went to music school, sang in the choir. Then there were numerous pop projects, one of which was led by the notorious Leonid Velichkovsky. With Nikita Malinin, I sang in one of these groups for a whole year. But beyond the rehearsals.

KM RU: So what are your impressions of working with Nikita?

Sonya: You know, very good impressions! I think Nikita has changed anyway. Now we practically do not communicate, we just say hello when we see each other - and nothing more. But at the time of my communication with him, I can say that Nikita was a very good boy and, in principle, his “star” surname did not affect his behavior in any way. He behaved very calmly, he was never pretentious and conceited.

Now, by the way, we can say absolutely the same about him. We saw him just recently, we talked a lot with him. He is an absolutely sane person. We visited him at the Factory. Nikita even sang with us on stage.

The current "manufacturers" are not interested in further "Factories"

KM RU: By the way, how do you feel about the very idea of ​​the “Star Factory”? Interesting opinion people. passed through the same conveyor.

To be honest, we believe that we have too much - both "Star Factory" and "People's Artist". People are already fed up. After all, there were 5 "Factories", "Become a Star", two "People's Artists". It's not interesting anymore. Personally, we did not watch a single "People's Artist", did not watch the fifth "Factory". We are not interested in watching how parents push their not always talented children. It's time to stop now. Although we have nothing against the idea of ​​a reality show. There has never been anything like it in Russia - and the fact that this idea itself has grown from a purely domestic (“Behind the Glass”) into a musical one, of course, pleases. For creative people who cannot break through, this, of course, is a certain road. But the oversaturation is clearly felt. This format is now obsolete. Already the "manufacturers" themselves are afraid that "Factories-7,8 ... 10" will appear - and they will be forgotten very quickly. In principle, this is what happens over time. "Become a Star", unlike "Factory", was released only once, although now they say that it will receive its continuation on another channel.

KM RU: Are you not jealous of your future competitors?

No, on the contrary, it's even great that this will happen again. We might even be there too.

KM RU: Well, due to this piecework of the Become a Star project, the Other Rules group does not have random fans. How is your relationship with them, by the way?

Immediately after the "Other Rules" appeared, we formed a Fan Club, which has been successfully operating to this day. Someone comes, someone leaves (due to age). But there is a backbone - and this is the main thing! We often write letters, there is a website. If a person comes up to us on the street and asks for an autograph, we will never refuse him. For them, it's nice, but for artists, it's normal. This is part of the job. We do not understand artists who turn up their noses in a similar situation. Although, perhaps, if we reached the level of Philip Kirkorov, then we can - and even need to move away from the fans. And now it's stupid. We often hold meetings in the Fan Club, we try to personally answer all letters from fans. It is not difficult and pleasant for us.

We answer all fan mail

KM RU: By the way, how are your relations with the Internet?

We rarely go online, we have Sonya, basically, a specialist in this case. The kids get all the information from her. She keeps fans informed about all the updates on the site. And the rest from childhood did not accustom themselves to the computer. But we, thank God, have Sonya, who constantly keeps in touch with the fans.

KM RU: How do you feel about placing MP3s on the Internet?

We publish almost all songs at once. Right now, for example, the album has not yet been released, and some tracks can already be found. We constantly monitor the download statistics of our songs. By the way, they rock well. We are, in principle, happy about this and are in favor of uploading MP3s.

KM RU: Do you often encounter piracy?

Yes, constantly. For Russia, this is generally a very relevant topic. No matter how many these actions against pirates are carried out (by the way, we ourselves participated in some of them), piracy will still be here. As a result of these actions, the pirates may hide some of their products, but new print runs will still be printed. Piracy in Russia is an indicator of popularity. Very often we are pushed through in the company of other performers - for example: "Other Rules" visiting the "Star Factory" or "Tatu", Smash !!, "Other Rules". So many things (laughs)! Such recordings are funny - just horror! By the way, we collect such things. But we do not collect media, but only covers. We throw out the cassettes - and save the covers. On the other hand, we can perfectly understand the consumers of our music market. After all, not each of them has the opportunity to purchase a "native" disk for 300-400 rubles.

We try to follow the latest technologies

An artist should be able to be different, change all the time. KM RU: Please tell us about your new material.

We have something to brag about. Just the other day we have a new album coming out. True, there will be no presentation yet, it will be later. But the disc will be available for purchase in a few days. The album will be called "Push off - Pull". It will include, in particular, Lyubasha's song, which will be relied on. In terms of printing, the disc will be very interesting. It looks very stylish, besides, the idea of ​​attraction-repulsion is graphically observed. Boys and girls are depicted there, not together, but separately. The album is fundamentally different from our previous discs.

KM RU: What exactly are these differences?

Now club music is in vogue, there are just a few good songs in this style on the disc. The sound has changed. We follow what is happening in the music environment and try to follow the latest technologies. But the album will also contain songs that are close to the soul of the people, for example, in Lyubasha's material even the harmonica is spelled out. At the same time, it is very fashionable at the moment. The sound of voices has also changed. Firstly, there are four of us now - and the band has a completely different sound. Secondly, our voices have acquired an adult coloring. We are growing and developing. Texts become more meaningful. With the advent of Sony, we have changed - both externally and internally. We are no longer children. Now we're aiming for glamour. So that people understand that we are no longer boys and girls, but young people. There are some newspapers that even published articles on this subject, expressing a negative opinion. They were not happy that we starred for candid magazines.

KM RU: Can you elaborate from this place? :-)

There were two shots. But before them, we refused such proposals for a long time. But now they decided to emphasize their adulthood. Decided to shock the people. We have successfully passed the stage of puberty. Although we were filmed not naked, but half-dressed. The reaction to these photo shoots was stormy. We received so many calls, we were even surprised that so many people read these magazines. They called and said: “We bought a magazine here, is it really you ?!” (laugh). Then a newspaper came out with a devastating article. We laughed a lot. Since they are talking about it, it means that it is interesting in any case. So we don't regret this experience. This should benefit our image, PR and reputation. You just have to be versatile, shoot with a smile on your face all the time, in jeans and a T-shirt - it’s not interesting. An artist must be able to be different, constantly change.

KM RU: Okay, back to the album. What actions will you carry out in support of it?

The presentation will be, but later. We are currently thinking about it and preparing it. We want this to be some kind of bright and memorable event. I would not want everything to be standard in Metelitsa, get drunk there together - and that would be the end of it ... Although, it is clear that it will be almost the same ( laughing). We will gather all our friends. This will be the first presentation in our life, so we want it to be remembered ... Well, in addition to the presentation, in order to support the album, rotation of our songs through music channels is planned - and not only. There will be a press campaign, a tour. By the way, we recently had a tour - in Ukraine.

I even had to perform in schools

CM RU: How exhausting was it?

It is tough! The hardest part of these tours is travel and hotels. And concerts, of course, are held in one breath. We drove through a lot of cities, traveled by bus for a month. Naturally, this is not “wow”, but what to do! This is the work of an artist. Therefore, no matter how you complain, tours are a must.

KM RU: What cities do you remember?

There is something interesting in every city. There are bright central cities, this is understandable. At the same time, Moscow and St. Petersburg are, of course, the brightest cities. Each city is interesting in its own way. Much depends on how you were received, what mood you are in. We simply didn’t have time to see some cities – we slept on the bus. And in some cities they went out because they were in the mood to take a walk. Here, Lviv is a very beautiful city, Kyiv. Not a very good city - Kramatorsk. Sometimes they came to places where the artists had not looked for years, like, 10-20. But there they take it in a special way.

KM RU: Do you prefer to perform in clubs, recreation centers or stadiums.

It absolutely doesn't matter! It is possible everywhere. We even worked in schools - normally. It was a special tour supported by one of the shampoo companies. It was they who exposed us to light and sound. They sang either in the assembly halls or in the foyer. It doesn't matter where you perform, the main thing is the atmosphere. People don't care where they end up, it's much more important to feel the buzz and drive. We have very funny wildlife preserves. Here is one of them that we recently discussed with the Fabrika group: in one place they performed first, and then we. It was fun: a bunch of oligarchs gathered who decided to relax to the music and arrange a tropical summer for themselves in the fall. There was no stage as such, right in front of us the oligarchs ate and drank, and we sang for them. In the mouth looking, roughly speaking. They ordered the same song 25 times. They said: sing, we will pay extra, just this song again, please. But the chamber atmosphere! All artists work this way, and then they share their impressions. I recently flew to a wedding with a Hi-Fi group. There the scenes parted, the bride was crying, and we had to amuse her.
