At the end of last year - the beginning of this year, information about the terrible illness of Sergei Bezrukov began to circulate in the community, including at the suggestion of the tabloids. Moreover, it was said. that he is very afraid of oncology and when losing weight using the Volkov method (separate nutrition), every time he is checked to see if he has this disease. Three months have passed since the first message, during which time Sergei’s film “A Real Fairy Tale” was released on which, by his own admission, five million dollars were spent, and after the release he managed to return about one and a half million. Meanwhile, almost all of the funds invested in the film came from Sergei’s own personal budget; he invested all the money he earned on filming and in the theater. Part of the funds. approximately one quarter was allocated by the authorities and business representatives of the capital of Tatarstan - Kazan, but when they saw what happened, they were outraged at how unsightly Kazan looked in the film. There was talk of returning this money after the film was released, and Bezrukov led long and grueling negotiations, which could well have affected his mental health. Criticism of Vysotsky's role in the film "Vysotsky, thank you for being alive!" didn’t add any joy either. As a vulnerable and very responsible person, Bezrukov was upset that many people did not like his next role, and many said that Vysotsky did not look alive at all because of the complex makeup. As for the film “Real Fairy Tale”, in which Bezrukov invested not only money, but also his whole soul, it turned out that many viewers did not reach the idea of a fix film, and even film critics added fuel to the fire. The following reviews appeared on the Internet:
“ For a long time I couldn’t formulate why I didn’t like it so much, and then I realized: the director made a modern thriller with kidnapping and special forces, but for some reason he decided to season it with Russian epics and it turned out neither for himself nor for the people. This is not a fairy tale at all. This is a harsh a reality that for some reason needed to be dressed up in a sundress with a kokoshnik.
The music is especially disgusting - it’s like a compilation from “Night Watch” and a balalaika. But the credits are beautiful - they could have stopped there." This is a quote from not the most devastating review. There were, however, others - good ones, in which Bezrukov is expressed gratitude for a wonderful film that has an educational effect. The director and producer of the "Yeralash" project, who, by the way, recently made his own film for teenagers, admitted to the journalist of "Mir Novosti" that after watching the film produced by Bezrukov, he experienced an ambivalent feeling - The film is correct, tough, allegorical, designed for young people who are critical of the realities of today's life, but to expect that it will win over the entire audience and have a successful theatrical release is at least naivety, or fantasy. Children are accustomed to American films, empty but entertaining. And in this picture, the only spectacles are explosions of expensive cars and fights, after which almost everyone remains alive. I do not rule out that Bezrukov, who is accustomed to being a winner in everything, realizing that his project has failed, really feels bad and needs psychological rehabilitation. And weight loss may well be the result of nervous exhaustion. But I say this only based on life experience, and not on some doctors’ forecasts! At the screening of the film at the House of Cinema that took place after the release, popular actor Sergei Bezrukov did not feel very comfortable. He went on stage pale, and it seems only the support of his wife and actress of this film, Irina Bezrukova, allowed him not only to stay on his feet but also to deliver a sad monologue. - Don’t envy us, we didn’t make any money on this film, but on the contrary, we still owe money, and I spent all my royalties for films in the last two years, but I don’t complain, because the film is about goodness and the fact that it was shown says little about There is a shortage of goodness among those who distribute films and prefer to show films while watching which you can eat popcorn. In this picture, as in the film about Vysotsky, normal people did not eat popcorn, even if teenagers took a tub of it to the cinema, after a few minutes they stopped eating and went home after watching it
Irina Bezrukova supported her husband, saying that we should watch the film and draw our own conclusions, and not read what has been written about it.
It was simply a pity to look at Bezrukov, who had grown thin and really haggard. And when the film began, the audience saw how he was two and a half years ago and what he has become now. They say that Sergei is very worried that the success of the film was much less than expected, and at the box office it collected a little more than a million dollars, while 5 million greenbacks were spent on the production of the film, which he told the audience about. “Besides, for the sake of PR for the film, I was forced to participate in television programs that I had never attended before,” the artist said with a barely concealed feeling of annoyance and irritation. The artist’s press secretary Liana refused to comment on rumors about Bezrukov’s illness, calling them groundless, and noted that he lost weight specifically for filming the film “Match.” “In the summer, when this film was filmed, he lost three kilograms,” she noted. Bezrukov’s wife Irina refused to comment at all, noting that she and Sergei do not comment on dry gossip and conveying through the press secretary that those who want to hear the opinion of Sergei Bezrukov should go to his website, there is a special section in which he dispels all gossip and rumors. That's what we're doing. |
