The first episode of the new musical melodrama "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. It's Just Beginning" by directors Olga Dolmatovskaya and Zhora Kryzhovnikov will be shown at Bolotnaya Square. The event will be held with the support of the "Made in Moscow" and "Youth of Moscow" projects as part of the city project "Summer in Moscow".
The premiere will take place on September 6 at 19:00. An hour earlier, at 18:00, an autograph session of actors Ruzil Minekaev and Maria Kamova (Mash Milash) will begin. To attend the screening, you must register in the Mosbilet service.
From the 1970s to our time
The main characters were played by Tina Stoyilkovich, Anastasia Talyzina and Maria Kamova (Mash Milash) in their youth, and by Marina Aleksandrova, Yulia Topolnitskaya and Valeria Astapova, respectively, as adults. The series also stars Ivan Yankovsky, Ruzil Minekaev, Milos Bikovich, Fyodor Bondarchuk, Slava Kopeikin and other actors.
The series takes place in the early 2000s. The main character Ksyusha comes to conquer Moscow with a five-year-old child in her arms, without money, connections or any prospects. There is no way back – she fled her hometown, escaping persecution from her abusive husband. New friends help Ksyusha survive in the capital – a diligent medical student Olya and the flighty Masha, who dreams of marrying a foreigner and moving abroad. 20 years later, fate gives the heroines another chance at happiness.
"The idea of creating the series belongs to Andrey Nikolaevich (Zhora Kryzhovnikov. — Ed.). He had long wanted to make a musical melodrama based on the film "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears". I joined at the stage when the initial version of the script was written. Before the film, we watched a huge number of American musicals from the 1940s and 1950s. And for me, this genre opened up in a new way. To some extent, I fell in love," said director Olga Dolmatovskaya.
The creators of the series were inspired by the Soviet film by Vladimir Menshov, which received the Oscar award from the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The new melodrama is based on it, but the authors tell a different story, characteristic of our time.
"We re-watched the film and wanted to tell the story of three friends 20 years later, just like in the original. The storyline of our main character is very similar to the one Valentin Chernykh had in his script "Twice Lied", which won the Moscow script competition and then went to Vladimir Menshov. But the two friends have completely different stories, conflicts and problems. We don't have a hockey player and a builder – in general, everything is different," added director Zhora Kryzhovnikov.
Filming with the support of Moscow
The action takes place in recognizable and popular places of the city. The frame will feature the high-rise building on Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, the Ostankino TV Center, the Russian State Academic Youth Theater, Tverskoy Boulevard and Pushkinskaya Square. During the filming of the most massive scene on Tverskoy Boulevard, in which 200 dancers and more than 100 actors participated, a huge amount of technical equipment had to be used to create a light design. In addition, some of the musical numbers were filmed in the Moskino cinema park on the sites of Cowboy Town and Provincial Cities of Europe.
Filming took place in historical places of the capital, on the territory of architectural monuments. In the series you can see the Stroganov estate, the Pushkinsky cinema, the Moscow metro, the Moscow Kremlin, Red Square, the VK Stadium concert hall and many other places.
The capital provided support for the filming process. On Tverskoy Boulevard, the Moskino film commission provided the filming of the final, most large-scale scene for the capital since the creation of the film "Hipsters" in 2008. Despite the difficulties of organization, shift changes and weather conditions, the commission managed to coordinate the work of filmmakers and city services.
The filming on the streets of Moscow was also organized with the support of the film commission. All necessary permits were obtained thanks to the organized approach and professionalism of the staff. Special employees of the film commission — film commissioners — helped organize the closure of traffic.
As noted by the press service of the Moscow film cluster, the film commission managed the almost impossible – to conduct mass filming without disrupting the main life processes in the city center. In record time, they carried out complex approvals with the capital's departments of trade and services, transport and development of road and transport infrastructure, health care, housing and utilities, the Moscow Directorate of Mass Events, and the prefecture. As a result, they managed not only to film all the necessary scenes, but also to create a wonderful image of Moscow in the project.
