On New Year's Eve, the judge of the show "X-factor-7" and the National selection for Eurovision-2017 Konstantin Meladze gave an interview to the site. The producer will meet 2017 with his family - with his wife and children.

According to Meladze, wild parties on the occasion new year holidays already in the past, and now the producer prefers quiet family evenings.

- Konstantin, do you have a favorite New Year's dish?

Here I will not be original. I love yesterday's Olivier salad. When it stands a little, it becomes tastier (smiles).

- that is, in new year's eve you don't eat it?

Somehow I usually do not feel like eating on New Year's Eve. But, and you have had a set table since the evening, on which Olivier and all sorts of different dishes, it all becomes a million times tastier.

- And who in your family prepares this salad?

A little bit of everything is being prepared. For example, I skillfully cut cucumbers - thinly and finely (smiles). Teamwork is very close.

- What are your expectations for the upcoming 2017?

I have the same expectations as anyone else. New Year. But I do not like leap years And I'm always happy when they're done. And this year, I, too, am already waiting for it to end as soon as possible and 2017 to begin. It has the number 7 in it, so I think that the year will be happy and successful.

- Remember the bright new year story that happened to you.

Oh, this is such a compromising story... When I studied at the institute and lived in a hostel, practically from the 1st year to the 4th year I never managed to celebrate the New Year, because we always celebrated the Georgian New Year first, and then the Ukrainian one, which is on an hour later. And we always celebrated the Georgian holiday so vigorously that I could not reach the Ukrainian one (laughs).

Rather, I got married grandly.

About children:

Alisa graduated from high school and enters the university in Kyiv. Leah - my middle daughter - is now in a chic camp in Israel, resting, getting high. She is engaged in vocals, choreography, she has a clear interest in music and talent, I think. But I will not push her to the stage. I will help only if she proves to me that music is her destiny, her path. As for my son, he is still in school. Our children with Vera are friends with each other. Leah was recently with us in Italy, they are very friendly with youngest daughter Faith - Sarah. But it was very difficult to arrange all this.

About love for Vera:

There are things that need to be said in person, therefore, I don’t think that Vera will be pleased if I yell at the whole country through the TV how much I love her. We have other signs and codes with her, with the help of which we send all these vibes to each other, regardless of the distance. We are constantly far from each other, she tours a lot, but we have learned to minimize this distance, so to speak. At a distance, you especially need to somehow prove and show your love. When you are at home, sitting in the kitchen, everything is much simpler - you took your hand and that's it. But when she is in America, and I am here, there are thousands of kilometers between us, then efforts must be made.

About happiness:

I feel more and more happy out of the blue. If earlier, in order to feel happiness, I needed, for example, to see a crowded hall or my song in the first place - strange criteria, now this feeling arises out of the blue. Recently we were on vacation in Italy, I watched my daughter splashing and laughing in the pool, our children swim with Vera, Vera is sitting next to me, the sun is shining, some kind of music is playing ... And that's it, I understand what I'm on seventh heaven. Such happiness is much more difficult to achieve. I went to him longer than to my musical successes. It is amazing!

Konstantin Meladze about love for Vera Brezhneva: "I got married grandly!"

The other day Konstantin Meladze became a guest of the author's program Ukrainian TV presenter Dmitry Gordon. In the first part of the video interview, the composer spoke about his childhood and youth, about the beginning of his career, and in the second part, the conversation took a more frank turn. Konstantin, perhaps for the first time, spoke about his love for Vera Brezhneva, about their first meeting, about how his life has changed thanks to Vera, and about how they manage to maintain relationships in the face of private separations. We publish the most interesting quotes.

About how Vera Brezhneva got into the " VIA Gra":

Vera came out at one of the concerts of our group, in Dneprodzerzhinsk, then it was still a duet - Alena Vinnitskaya and Nadya Meikher ... She went on stage to perform "Attempt No. 5" with other spectators. Our administrator saw her, took the phone, and at that time we had a constant rotation of personnel, I was looking for some kind of optimal composition. Then she came to the casting, we did video tests, which plunged me into absolute delight, because she was an exact copy of Brigitte Bardot in her youth. And I said: "Here, this image is exactly what we need now."

About the most talented artist of "VIA Gra":

I do not want to offend anyone, but objectively greatest success of all the ex-Viagra, Vera Brezhneva achieved. She is truly an amazing person. She is the most beautiful and sexy.
- The most obnoxious and bitchy? - continued the leader.
“No, it’s definitely not about her,” Konstantin answered. Vera is the hardest working person. When we took her to the group, she could neither dance nor sing. I gave her a month, sent her to the vocal and choreography teachers and attended these classes once a week, watched how she progressed. But the effect was amazing! It's like some kind of cartoon. You know, like in cartoons - once and in 5 seconds, for example, a tomato grows. We had about the same story. After a year of work in the group, it was already an absolute star.

About the host's remark that Vera Brezhneva got married grandly:

Rather, I got married grandly.

About the duration of the affair with Vera:

I have a feeling that it is eternal. It's like I met her in 1963 and that's it (laughs).

On the reaction to Vera's wedding with Mikhail Kiperman:

Then I treated her so far just as an artist. If I had any worries, it was only about the fact that now I have to interrupt my career. The feelings that arose between us were already later.

On how his life has changed thanks to Vera:

With her appearance, life has changed. I finally raised my head from the keyboard and ... More precisely, I didn’t even raise it myself, but rather, Vera picked me up by the hair and said, "Here, there is still a lot of interesting things." Before Vera, I didn't care, to be honest, how I looked. I didn't care where I rest and whether I rest at all, what I eat and so on. I missed out on a lot, much to my regret, by being obsessed with my work. And I would probably have missed everything completely if Vera hadn’t given me this pendel and aroused in me an interest in a life other than just the studio and music.

Konstantin Meladze gave great interview journalist Dmitry Gordon, in which he spoke about his childhood, career and shared his views on life. So, according to the producer and composer, he has practically no favorite songs. “I am a deeply insecure person. To this day, the regalia have not made me believe in my strength, ”said the show business figure.

During a conversation with Dmitry, Konstantin also spoke about his wife, Vera Brezhneva. The producer remembered the first meeting with his future wife.

“Vera Brezhneva went on stage at one of the concerts of our group and sang into the microphone. Our administrator saw her and took the phone. Then we called her to the casting, made video tests. She brought me to absolute delight, because she seemed to me a copy of Brigitte Bardot in her youth. I don’t want to offend anyone, but objectively, Vera Brezhneva achieved the greatest success of the ex-participants of VIA Gra. She is the most beautiful and sexy, and she is also my wife. Did she get married grandly? Rather, I got married grandly, ”Meladze said in the program“ Visiting Dmitry Gordon ”.

The producer considers Brezhnev an amazing person who is able to work hard and fruitfully. “When we took her to the group, she could neither dance nor sing. The whole history of "VIA Gra" - the purest water"Pygmalion," said the man. To become a full-fledged soloist of the group, future star sent to special courses.

“I attended these classes once a week and watched how she progressed. The effect was simply amazing. This is comparable to some kind of cartoon when a tomato grows once and in five seconds. The same thing happened with Vera. After a year of working in the group, it was an absolute star!” Konstantin shared.

The romance between Meladze and Brezhnev did not arise immediately. When the singer married businessman Mikhail Kiperman in 2006, the composer did not protest against the wedding, because he did not have feelings for the artist. “If I had any worries, then only about the fact that she would have to end her career,” said the man. Only over time, the producer looked at the ward in a different way.

“The ideal woman is the one with whom you feel good and you are happy. Everyone has their own ideal. It should match with you like a key to a lock. I have a feeling that our romance with Vera lasts forever, that I met her in 63, ”Meladze shared, laughing. – With the appearance of this man, my life has changed. I finally lifted my head from the keyboard ... I didn’t even lift it, but she took my hair. (…) I didn't care where I rest, what I eat. I missed out on a lot because I was obsessed with my work. And Vera gave me a pendel and awakened an interest in a life other than the studio and music.

In addition, Konstantin Meladze spoke about his children - Alice, Leah and Valeria. They were born from the producer's previous relationship with Yana Summ.

“My kids do all sorts of things. Alice graduated from high school and goes to college in Kyiv. The middle daughter Leah is in Israel in the camp, she is engaged in vocals and choreography. It seems to me that she has talent, but I will not push her. The son goes to school. Our children with Vera, in general, are friends. Now Leah was with us in Italy, she communicates well with Vera's daughter Sarah ... It's all difficult, of course. And now it is difficult, and will be. You know what kind of thing. The more brothers and sisters you have, the easier it will be for you in the future. adult life. I know it for sure. If I didn’t have Valera and Liana, we wouldn’t have achieved anything, ”the composer believes.

The host invited the producer to publicly confess his love to his wife. However, the composer refused and explained why. Konstantin Meladze also noted that he constantly thinks about his soulmate and worries about her. Despite the fact that spouses are often on the road, they manage to maintain harmony in relationships.

“There are things that need to be said in person. I don't think she'll be pleased if I yell on TV how much I love her. We have other signs and other codes with which we send vibes to each other at a distance. We are constantly away from each other, because she tours a lot, and I constantly travel. But we have somehow learned to minimize the distance between us. After all, when you are at home, everything is much simpler: you took your hand, and that's it. But when she is in America, you need to make an effort, ”the man shared.

Producer and husband of Vera Brezhneva Konstantin Meladze gave a long interview to Dmitry Gordon, in which he told a lot about himself, his work and his wife. “I am a deeply insecure person. To this day, the regalia have not made me believe in my strength, ”admitted Meladze.

Vera and Konstantin

The producer recalled with particular warmth the first meeting with future wife: “Vera Brezhneva went on stage at one of the concerts of our group and sang into the microphone. Our administrator saw her and took the phone. Then we called her to the casting, made video tests. I was absolutely delighted with them, because she seemed to me a copy of Brigitte Bardot in her youth. I don’t want to offend anyone, but objectively, Vera Brezhneva achieved the greatest success of the ex-participants of VIA Gra. She is the most beautiful and sexy, and she is also my wife. Did she get married grandly? Rather, I got married grandly."

The husband admires Brezhneva's hard work, her perseverance and talent, at the stage of starting work in the VIA Gra group, Vera could not sing or dance, but she really wanted to, so she succeeded.

Meladze and Brezhnev looked at each other for a long time, Vera managed to get married and divorced in front of the producer. He perceived all these changes in her life with an absolutely calm heart, but at some point he looked at her in a completely different way.

“The ideal woman is the one with whom you feel good and you are happy. Everyone has their own ideal. It should match with you like a key to a lock. I have a feeling that our romance with Vera lasts forever, that I met her in 63, ”Meladze shared, laughing. – With the appearance of this man, my life has changed. I finally lifted my head from the keyboard ... I didn’t even lift it, but she took me by the hair. (…) I didn't care where I rest, what I eat. I missed out on a lot because I was obsessed with my work. And Vera gave me a pendel and awakened an interest in a different life than the studio and music, ”says the producer.

During the program, Dmitry Gordon invited Meladze to confess his love to Vera on the air, Konstantin answered this request with a categorical refusal.
“There are things that need to be said in person. I don't think she'll be pleased if I yell on TV how much I love her. We have other signs and other codes with which we send vibes to each other at a distance. We are constantly away from each other, because she tours a lot, and I constantly travel. But we have somehow learned to minimize the distance between us. After all, when you are at home, everything is much simpler: you took your hand, and that's it. But when she is in America, you need to make an effort,” Konstantin finished.

According to Konstantin Meladze, at the first meeting, Vera Brezhneva did not make any impression on him. Like other candidates for a place in the VIA Gra group, Konstantin sent Vera to special courses, where she was supposed to be taught how to move and sing correctly. Once a week, Meladze attended Brezhneva's classes and was shocked by the rapid changes in her image.

"The effect was simply amazing. It is comparable to some kind of cartoon when a tomato grows once and in five seconds. The same thing happened with Vera. After a year of working in a group, she was an absolute star!" Meladze said.

Due to the fact that Konstantin did not immediately begin to feel feelings for Vera, the news of her wedding to businessman Mikhail Kiperman in 2006 did not touch him. The novel, according to Meladze, arose between him and Brezhneva later - after her daughter Sarah was born.

According to Konstantin, Vera is the most talented of all the members of the group throughout its history. “I don’t want to offend anyone, but objectively, Vera Brezhneva achieved the greatest success from the “ex-Viagra”. She is really a completely amazing person, the most beautiful and sexy. Did she get married grandly? Rather, I married grandly!” - said Konstantin Meladze on the program "Visiting Dmitry Gordon".
