Alexandr Zhdanov: I decided to engage with the Russian show business!

The renowned music photographer Alexander Zhdanov recently released third book, "Paparazzi: Hostage of Illusions", in which he announced that he had to go from Russia to Australia, perhaps forever. Preface to Interview Photographer Sanya Zhdanov wrote a third book about the customs of the Russian show business. In it, many people can recognize themselves I for example, was one of the characters themselves. Books about the stage show business have surprisingly little, in contrast to the global book market, where almost every star of typed plump bibliography. Zhdanov can live almost a spoken language on the daily life of stars, speak their PR and related journalism. Probably because I was working full-time freelance photographer for many years and many publications, was a regular photographer Bilan, PC Matvienko, Lazarev and other artists of the first season. In this book, to do without conventional flattery - Zhdanov talks about working moment when artists and their entourage disclosed in the present, and each has its true value. It is in a good entertaining read, but with a tangible and thoughtful moral for the reader. When his books can help get rid of readers and budding artists pink imposed industry misconceptions, stereotypes and self-deception - and that will be on the practical application of the author. I am impressed by the sincerity of Zhdanov's unmasking of empty seats and flashing cliche. Even though I do not think that the blind will flashlight. Zhdanov did their job. Guru Ken Alexander Zhdanov - This is the third book on your show business. And it is striking how show business you fed up with his fussiness and cartoonish. Why did I write a book about him? - If the first book to tell you everything I know show business, a little popiaritsya me, and for me was the most important thing was positive. Published the first book of the "Paparazzi" in 2009, was the second "Paparazzi: winning" - in 2010, and this is the third book in 2011. I felt him, and tried to reflect them. And I must admit, that really disappointed in the last two or three years, I'm in the Russian show business. I started when I was 14-15 years old, now I'm 25, and I feel that has changed in our show business almost nothing. If a change for the worse. 10 years ago there were Zemfira Lagutenko many great musicians. I burned eyes new projects, new artists, great songs. I saw that there are new songs by talented artists, creative, new approach to music. These clips "Mummy Troll" or dolphin I can see so far, and realize that it's art. Once I have worked in this area - stopped almost new name - they're all singing the same and do the same. From my perspective, there are no new quality manufactured product. In America, during which time there was Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, awards scholarships to promising musicians. Always something going on! And we? There are artists who keep the bar. But there are no new names, and many of the stars are held only at the expense of public relations. This I started the second book, and tell dedicated on PR this book. Somewhere, unfortunately, somewhere, bitterly. SEO PR stories, novels, scandal overshadowed the actual music. We're not talking about the talented albums and even songs, stories about very intima and yellowness. It's all good job PR agencies and PR agencies. Working in the entertainment business, I can see the situation from the inside, and I was very interested. Everything is thought out and signed almost at the level of the contract, how often the artists together, which is located in the clip, how much money will be paid. It's non-musical history. This show business bore me. - I disagree a little. Appeared "Ranetki", Maksim, Nyusha. Group "Mill" collected "Olympic". Finally Vaenga and Stas Mikhailov. Perhaps you personally pall all happens? - Maybe. When I was first in the world - everything is new, everything is interesting. Over time, when you see all the inside to change views. Understand that this pipeline. Although there was a serial "Ranetki" on ITS, the group was asked. Disappeared and the group - ended series. I do not need a global phenomenon, as Alla Pugacheva. But almost perennial favorite artists disappeared. As it Maksim and glucose - how about who they are fought and how they sing. And now they do not collect halls. The artist was the expiration date. Two years, three years, at best five years. A "Ivanushki International" published 15 years ago, and still can not get out of the concert tours. Course it is a performance of Igor Matvienko, who writes his latest songs. But the group is still in demand! No modern Pugacheva, Antonov, whose songs heard after so many years. I wish that our diversity has been introduced in the global market. I am so happy about the success of "Tattoo"! It seemed that the window opened, and the songs are leaking "there". But nothing like that happened. - Why not? Vitas leaked. - Yes, he signed a very good contract. But dissatisfaction with the general state of affairs remained. 10 years ago Backstreet Boys have one show that - wow! Lady Gaga, despite the ambiguity makes a fantastic show. We have nothing like that practically no - Philip, Anita Choi and others are trying to do a show, but they are in the minority. Much more - boring ordinary concerts, sometimes under the plywood and no show! Return to Vaenga, I think that it will be many years of interest in the audience. She makes an honest product, sincere. But this is an exception. Many artists, especially young people, at the heart of public relations, not put her musical ambitions. When the audience hears a good song with a decent vocal - the actor is no PR Star, confirmed the story and Vaenga Mikhailov. Their songs are catchy, with. No visuals rise to emotions And they do not send stories which sleep or go shopping. - The first two books in the context of public relations on a tangent, they were by the paparazzi. This book is entirely devoted to the nuances of public relations in the entertainment industry. Is there a wine PR, which appears bright little songs, or in the case of abuse of a useful tool? - PR stories should, but the PR should not be a dominant role in the life of an artist. We have first class PR. In the book I talk about Igor Matvienko Production Centre, because it's what he and the head of the press service of the President Katya Bykov, a prototype of the main character, I seem to be an example for efficient operation. You kommunikatiruyut meaningful journalists able to do without the black PR, will be able to submit infopovody. Usually takes an American or a European project, went on the Russian way, and. As a revelation to the public In PR earn big money, and it turned into a car by collecting dough. Sun imposed defective product if the artists work to a lot of repertoire and a voice, but it is run by a made-up media channels for creativity to life. Essentially, it is the attitudes of consumers towards listeners with dirty methods. I do not like it. In my books, I share their own experiences in the entertainment industry. He may not agree, you can hear - I see a lot of answers. Therefore, a role they played in people's lives, and I'm glad. I decided to get involved with show business, because more do not see themselves in that room. My character at the end of the book Nezhdanov flying to Australia. In real life, this is exactly what happened to me. I decided to move to Australia. I have reached the milestone when you have to decide - to choose to work or to devote his whole life, or try to change radically. I opted for the old life scrapped. Although I have stayed in show business friends, love my artists, I still sometimes come to Moscow and St. Petersburg to remove important concerts - this world is hard to escape. In the book I wrote in detail how and why these things are done for me. According to the book I'm going to live in Australia, in Sydney, to try to completely change your lifestyle. I will shoot to photograph the wedding, or the animals in the zoo - I do not know, but I want to change my life. Strictest I feel about myself, and I want to start with yourself. - Photos is easier to do than others disappointed. You can even artists, monkeys also shoot. Print journalists in the Russian language, the artist - with his audience. But there is a desire to have everything so drastically that it no longer change to shoot at the "Euro Vision" or more presentations of Russian artists? - Honestly, told the "Euro Vision" I'm not ready to give up. Anyone arriving at the "Euro Vision" - do not believe that the competition on the world market - see I see so many trade press, learn from their European counterparts, I an interesting life. "Euro Vision" for me, a loophole will remain in the past life. As I live in Australia, I will certainly like to see all our artists who come to this country. But ... I have a good friend Eugene Sokolov, she worked in a "hammer". And at some point, she chose to start a family. She has a wonderful husband, she had a baby. And when I was in agreement with her, she is happy. You can remind the care of Masha Alalykin group "Factory", they also chose family. Everyone has the right to choose. I did not want to impose. But I'm talking about my choice. I have experience in international journalism, English well, I can with PR people, journalists, advertising specialists. But I do not want it in the entertainment industry and not in Russia. Many call it a weakness, in flight. But I want to make that choice. - The family can be an incentive to relocate. They also have a family background to this decision? - I have nothing to hide. Once I wanted to earn money and travel around the world. I made money, bought an apartment and visited 98 countries. Now I want to calm down, start a family. I want to have children. I even dreamed that I would not have a child ... I think all of this phase of growing up. I have a different value, in addition to work. I've always been and remains a Russian patriot. But I want to live and work there. The more I have already a lot of work, not to show in terms of business. - In Australia there is a very interesting show business. - Yes, I feel that I have grown out of the Russian show business, but I'm interested in the world of show business. In Australia, often coming international stars, and I'm interested. Maybe I'll do pictures of concerts Australian and international stars. I started in St. Petersburg, and was later able to decide to move to work in Moscow. Now - a new stage. - What you want in a professional and personal level, the move expect? - In the single - family, children. As for trade, I still quite young, and I. The time to try to find something new I do not know what to expect. Sometimes you have to break your house of cards, to grow and to be the most important. I will not remain for life in this house of cards. It is an understanding that you can change just about everything. This is a new different world. To understand what you are actually decide on the change of life. As a kitten thrown into the water - swim or not. I'll throw myself in the water. Maybe in two or three years is the fourth book I discuss, to be released as the Australian show business. What really happened - I do not know.
