New star factory group VK. “New Star Factory” on Muz-TV: the first participant left the show

Childhood and youth

After graduating from school, Kuznetsov worked as a bartender, but at the same time continued to study music. Under the pseudonym Mastank, Nikita performed his songs at various concerts and music festivals Neryungri and by 2015 had become a fairly well-known personality throughout the city.

In June 2016, Nikita released his first video for the song “Dreams,” which was received ambiguously by fans of the genre, but overall positively.

Nikita Kuznetsov and “New Star Factory”

Since childhood, I have dreamed of carving out my niche in hip-hop culture. It won't be easy, but I will try to be the best.

In subsequent performances, Kuznetsov shared the stage with such famous performers, like Keti Topuria, the group “SunStroke Project”, “Disco Accident” and “Estradarada”, Nastasya Samburskaya and Shura. At one of the concerts Nikita sang his own song“It’s not a problem,” which immediately sunk into the hearts of fans of the young artist.

At one of the interviews, Kuznetsov admitted that it was difficult for him to be in a factory “house” - in a closed room, where everything is monotonous and monotonous. The artist said that he was used to running errands all day, meeting with different people and spend a lot of time on fresh air, whereas new life more like school times, overshadowed by the same faces.

Last Saturday, December 2, the final reporting concert of the “New Star Factory” was held on the MUZ-TV channel. Details of the event - in the material on the website

The weekly concert of the “New Star Factory” opened with the song “My Beloved Ray” performed by the factory owners and the children’s musical theater"Domisolka." The “reporter” featured songs by producer and composer Konstantin Meladze, who took the place of the star guest on the jury. By the finals, the following remained on the project: Ulyana Sinetskaya, Danya Danilevsky, Guzel Khasanova and the group “North 17” (Zhenya Trofimov, Zena and Daniil Ruvinsky), and one of the the strongest participants– rappers Nikita Mastank Kuznetsov, Elman Zeynalov and the beautiful Rada Boguslavskaya.

Valeria, Guzel Khasanova and Nikita Mastank Kuznetsov performed the song “Flower and Knife”. “This song needs to be sung with your guts,” expressed Konstantin Meladze’s opinion and noted that Guzel did not fully cope with the number. “That is, Guzel still has a little guts,” Ksenia Sobchak supported the conversation with a joke.

Alsou and Ulyana Sinetskaya sang “The World I Didn’t Know About Before You”; Konstantin Meladze himself accompanied them at the piano. Then the group " VIA Gra" and Elman Zeynalov with the song "I got someone else." The group's soloists in bright dresses literally surrounded the manufacturer and did not let him go for a minute. “It was difficult to sing when they tried to strangle me,” admitted manufacturer Elman Zeynalov. Viktor Drobysh called Danya Danilevsky to the stage, deciding to test again shy guy. The VIA Gra participants hugged Danya, but he was not embarrassed at all, despite revealing outfits girls. “Now you have become a real man,” the mentor joked to his ward.

Zena, Ulyana Sinetskaya and Rada Boguslavskaya took to the stage with the song “Thaw” in retro images, and “MBAND” and Danya Danilevsky sang the song “Look at me.” Ksenia Sobchak asked Dana a provocative question - would he be offended if the victory went to Nikita Kuznetsov. But the participant assured the TV presenter that he would be happy for his friend no matter the outcome of the vote.

Participants of “North 17” (Zena, Daniil Ruvinsky and Zhenya Trofimov) performed a number for the song “Ocean and Three Rivers”. Konstantin Meladze noted that the guys performed like a team that has been singing on stage for a long time, although the composition did not quite suit the manufacturers.

Albina Dzhanabaeva and Guzel Khasanova performed the song “Kisses” in a new arrangement. TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak noted interesting image Guzel, joking that Konstantin Meladze was used to working with beautiful women in open outfits.

The participants who were nominated just before the final tried to prove themselves in new roles. Nikita Mastank Kuznetsov “rocked” the hall with the song “Whirlpool”. The participant surprised the audience with his confession: at the final “report” he decided to perform a song that he wrote at the age of 16, while still a teenager.

Rada Boguslavskaya appeared on stage in a delicate pink dress with a touching song “Doll”. No deliberate sexuality, ultra-short skirts, fiery dances– Boguslavskaya decided to show a new side of herself and held the audience’s attention only with her vocals throughout the entire performance.

Elman Zeynalov came out with his own song “My Ocean”. The guy also relied on vocals, refusing to rap and back-up dancers performed by the TODES ballet dancers. It was this performance that made a particular impression on Konstantin Meladze.

During the voting, the audience saved Nikita Kuznetsov, and the factory owners saved Elman Zeynalov. The decisive vote for Elman was given by Guzel Khasanova. Ulyana Sinetskaya, Danya Danilevsky, Guzel Khasanova, the group “North 17”, Nikita Mastank Kuznetsov and Elman Zeynalov reached the finals of the project. The winner of the “New Star Factory” will be determined by voting on the website muz-tv.ru, which is already open! And the name of the winner of the project will be known at the final concert December 9 at 18.00 on the MUZ-TV channel.

The second reporting concert of the “New Star Factory” has just ended, and we are already ready to talk about it. We visited behind the scenes of the project and learned from mentors and newly minted manufacturers what interesting and new things the show has in store for us.

Sobchak and Drobysh – the highlight of the program

The tandem Drobysh - Sobchak is already at the next concert, masterfully diving into jokes on the topic future song for Ksenia Anatolyevna and declarations of mutual sympathy: “I’ve been married for five years now, so I’m thinking, maybe I should take a wealthy lover? You, Victor, will be quite suitable.”

“Ksenia, I like you too,” he was not taken aback music producer project. “And in general, instead of traveling around Turkey, we’d better go to the studio to record a song.”

Ksenia, who has already acted and even sang in videos, seems not against repeating the singing success of Olga Buzova. In addition, the TV presenter is now in excellent shape: over the past few months she has become prettier and slimmer. In a fitted chocolate dress with an elegant VIP neckline and high heels the presenter stood out among everyone on stage (the manufacturers mostly dressed in smart-casual clothes) and burst out with jokes:

"Arman (Arman Davletyarov, CEO Muz TV. - Approx. ed.), now we are going to give a concert and go dressed as an elderly rose to Yana Rudkovskaya’s party. They're probably already serving snacks there..."

Project participants are already stars

As for the new participants, this time the “manufacturers” are all, as if selected, young and beautiful.

The youngest participant, Zina Kupriyanovich, is only 14 years old, and the oldest is 25. And each has their own story. Nikita Kuznetsov, a somewhat reserved but very creative rapper from Yakutia, dreams of meeting Basta.

21-year-old daughter of singer Viktor Saltykov Anna Moon for a long time lived in London, sings her own songs and plays the piano.

23-year-old Elman Zeynalov from Rostov came to the “Factory” to prove to his bride who ran away with the producer that he would become famous, and Samvel Vardanyan and Ulyana Sinetskaya were a couple in love. Both came to the casting, and both turned out great. By the way, before this the couple participated in qualifying rounds project "Voice". According to all the guys, despite the fact that they spent only two weeks in the house, they have already become friends and are very supportive of each other.

By the way, despite the fact that the rules in the reboot of the show have not changed, several important highlights still appeared: all private performers sing live at the reporting concerts. We saw it - we confirm it.

The launch of the new “Factory” aroused great interest among the audience, they were waiting for it, says Muz-TV General Director Arman Davletyarov. - We receive weekly figures on views of diaries and reporting concerts, and they are already 2-3 times higher than the channel’s share. For example, now I was flying on a plane, and the girls sitting next to me were discussing our “manufacturers”, who would be kicked out of the project. This suggests that “Factory” was, is and will be popular.

According to Arman Davletyarov, the jury will support even those participants who left the project.

No wonder the new “Factory” is going to music channel. All participants have already become our children, and we, of course, will not abandon them. We have the opportunity to invite them to concerts, show videos and in every possible way help them develop as artists.

According to general producer company "White Media" Yulia Sumacheva, the participants open up and surprise more and more every week.

It’s very interesting to watch the guys, how they open up and stop being afraid of the stage. Despite the fact that each of us, the jury members, chose our favorites at the casting, thanks to such growth of the “manufacturers”, we are surprised every time and celebrate new participants.

Little is known about them, and tells what they are doing now.

Maria Alalykina (34)

About the singer's career former member Maria Alalykina dreamed of “factories” since childhood, so she went to the “Star Factory” project with one goal - to become famous.

But it seems that her career faded into the background; in 2003, Maria left the group and married businessman Alexei Zuenko, to whom she gave birth to a daughter, Katya, and after... Maria converted to Islam (then the singer said that she did it of her own free will and for the sake of her husband ) and became Maryam.

Alalykina was sure that her faith would make her and her husband’s union eternal (Alexey is also a Muslim), but this did not happen - in 2008, Zuenko cheated on the factory owner with her best friend and left. Masha, by the way, herself introduced the homewrecker to her (then) husband.

After the divorce, the singer disappeared for a long time, but then Alalykina returned and started a LiveJournal (Live Journal - a social network), although now, however, the page has been deleted. They say, former singer deals with translations for Muslim websites.

Yulia Buzhilova is undoubtedly the most mysterious participant the first season of “Star Factory”, she is not active on social networks, and there is also little information about her on the Internet. One thing is known: Julia, like all the project participants, dreamed of waking up famous. And for this, by the way, there were all the prerequisites: according to at least Composer Igor Krutoy (63) was confident in her success - it was he who took her under his wing after she performed the song “Sleep” at one of the reporting concerts (by the way, she wrote it herself).

True, after “Factory” the girl disappeared: she failed to build a career as a pop star, and there were even rumors that she simply spent the million donated by Channel One for the development of her creativity. But in one interview, Yulia admitted that the piece of paper with the inscription “million rubles” still lies somewhere on a shelf at home. Now Buzhilova chooses classics - in April she took part in a concert dedicated to the 85th anniversary of composer Mikael Tariverdiev, it was held at the House of Music.

Soloists performed there together with Yulia Bolshoi Theater And Symphony Orchestra under the baton of conductor Vladislav Lavrik (36). She seems to be doing what she loves.

Zhanna Cherukhina (34)

Zhanna Cherukhina never planned to pursue music professionally: after graduating from school, she entered university and studied to become a manager, although she always dreamed of being a designer. The girl took piano lessons, but rather at the request of her parents. Cherukhina is one of the few participants who, to put it mildly, was not eager to join the “Star Factory”.

She went there, as they say, out of curiosity. Therefore, the project did not work out for her - Cherukhina left the show less than a month after the start. They say that then the cameras working 24 hours a day interfered with her. But during the project, she managed to make friends with Yulia Buzhilova - the girls sang a duet, and it was Yulia, in Zhanna’s opinion, who was one of the ones worthy of victory.

“I will root for the guys. And especially for Anya, Ira and Yulia,” she said in an interview. Now Zhanna lives in St. Petersburg and devotes all her free time to her son; nothing is known about Zhusupova’s husband and family (the singer now has that last name). The once first beauty of the “Factory” carefully hides her personal life, but it seems musical career Zhanna definitely abandoned it.

But another participant in the “Star Factory,” Anna Kulikova, did not abandon her singing career after the project. Kulikova still performs - she, of course, does not attract multimillion-dollar halls, but on Russia Day last year she gave a concert in Otradnoye and performed for everyone more famous hits, however, not their own: Kulikova sang I love Rock N Roll by Joan Jett and Unconditionally (32).

Today Anna is not as outrageous as on the show: the pink guitar with Hello Kitty and the same jeans have been replaced by more modest dresses and classic style.

But we will probably never forget how hot he and Sasha Balakireva (27) were when they sang in the Cuba group.

Now Kulikova is in maternity leave– in 2015 she got married, and at the beginning of this summer she became a mother beautiful girl Nastya.

The singer announced this on her Instagram - she published a photo with her husband and a balloon on which it was written: “It’s a girl!”

Very little is known about the singer's husband; it seems he is not a fan social networks. He is a guitarist, and it is quite possible that he and Anya met on the same stage.

Misha Grebenshchikov was the most energetic participant in the music university: everyone on the project was betting on his victory, but the guys from the Korni group managed to beat him, and Misha took third place.

Grebenshchikov is not only a singer, he is also an actor, radio host, an exemplary family man(Grebenshchikov has two daughters), formerly a DJ, and now a music creative producer at the Workshop pop art for children and youth by A. B. Pugacheva “Recital Club”.

Mikhail takes great care of his health and regularly plays sports, and also does not forget about his appearance: last year he decided to participate in the show “Ten Years Younger.”

“I decided to reformat my image and conduct some kind of psychological experiment on myself. After the program, I will hide my age and charm girls. Together with my face I want to change and internal state. Why not? Technology is at its best now, by changing or adding something to myself, I hope that I will be fresher and, maybe, I will be able to hit the girls’ ears again. But seriously, your project really gives a person the opportunity to reboot,” said the singer.

Pavel Artemyev – former member group “Roots” (he left the team in 2010) and the winner of the first season.

He broke a lot women's hearts– just from his curly hair and his “r” you can simply go crazy. Millions of girls cried to his “You Will Know Her” (and so did we). Now Artemyev gives solo concerts, writes songs, produces the rock band Artemiev and doesn’t want to hear anything about “Factory”.

“I understand that I can’t escape this, that she will follow me on a chain, like a burden for which I must justify myself for the rest of my life. But this topic is already quite worn out. Those people who once watched “Factory” have already grown up, and I don’t understand how this can be interesting today,” the singer said in an interview with The Question.

Story [ | ]

"Star Factory" is the Russian version of the successful television project Dutch production television company "Endemol" (eng. Endemol) "Star Academy" (eng. Star Academy). The idea of ​​the project belongs to the Spanish company Gestmusic, which is a branch of the Endemol company. However, the first country to start broadcasting the project on October 20, 2001 was France. Two days after the program was released in France, a show called “Operation Triumph” (Spanish. Operation Triunfo) aired in Spain.

From that moment on, the show began to spread all over the world, including it was released in Russia in 2002. Currently, “Star Academy” ranks second in popularity after the show “Big Brother” (English Big Brother), the project has won recognition in the markets not only of Europe, but also of India, Arab countries and the United States.

Rules [ | ]

Before the start of the project, auditions are held, during which the Star Factory jury reviews several thousand applicants. When selecting participants, vocal abilities are taken into account, appearance, plasticity, artistry. As a result, several people got into the project (seasons 1, 2, 3 - 16 people; seasons 6, 10 - 17 people; seasons 4 and 5 - 18 people). Initially, 14 people entered the seventh season of the project, and two more participants (a boy and a girl) were chosen by the audience from six applicants at the first reporting concert.

The guys are moved into the Star House, where everything that happens is filmed around the clock hidden cameras. Participants are not allowed to have Cell phones and musical equipment. Also, according to the terms of the project, they are prohibited from responding to fan letters. Every day, project participants must attend classes in choreography, vocals, acting, fitness, psychology and other disciplines. In the seventh season, history, directing, reading art, and Soviet song were also added to the disciplines. In addition to the main classes, special master classes were held, where the children were taught the basics of craftsmanship by the stars of Russian and world show business. Also, the responsibilities of the participants, in addition to attending classes, included maintaining order in the house and preparing food. In the seventh season of the project, the participants had to earn money themselves by preparing and conducting independent performances on concert venue in front of the Star House.

During the week, “Star House Diaries” was broadcast several times a day (broadcast from 30 cameras) and once a week (usually on Friday or Saturday evenings, at the beginning of season 1 and on Sunday in season 7) - a reporting concert, where the guys showed the numbers they had prepared during the week. Usually stars were invited to reporting concerts Russian stage, with whom the project participants have the opportunity to sing. In the sixth season (2006), there was also a review episode “A Week at the Factory,” showing all the most interesting things that happened in the Star House during the week of observation.

Every Monday, the pedagogical council of the “Star Factory” identified three candidates for elimination from the project. Their selection was based on the teachers' assessment of the creative growth of each participant, as well as on the results of their performances at concerts. The fate of the applicants was decided during the reporting concerts. One of the candidates is “saved” by Channel One viewers via SMS voting, the second is left in the project by his comrades, and the third leaves the Star House forever. True, there were precedents when a retiring participant was retained in the project artistic director or music producer through the use of veto power.

The winner of the project received a contract to record a disc or another similar prize. The project lasts about 3-4 months.
