In 2015, the series “Lyudmila Gurchenko” was released. In the plot, along with real personalities, there are fictional characters. Some heroes are collective images. Numerous discussions caused the presence of such an actor as Arkady Novitsky. Who did the scriptwriters mean when creating this hero?
Plot
The series tells not only about the work of an outstanding actress and singer, but also about her personal life. Rather, about the men of Lyudmila Gurchenko. The creators bypassed extramarital affairs, but colorfully talked about relationships with husbands. And Lyudmila Markovna had six of them.
Over the course of sixteen episodes, the main character meets the next man, marries, disagrees with him. She also enjoys new roles and offers to participate in concerts. In times of downtime, it depresses. This is the whole plot of the series "Lyudmila Gurchenko".
Husbands Gurchenko
Arkady Novitsky appears in the plot when there were already two failed marriages behind the movie star. The first - civilian - with the director Ordynsky. The second - legal - with the screenwriter and father of the only daughter of the screenwriter Andronikashvili.
After parting with her second husband, Gurchenko met with the adopted son of the writer Fadeev. Marries him. Then leaves him. Reason for divorce spouse's hard drinking. After some time she gets married again. This time her chosen one is Vadim Orlov. This hero is a prototype of Joseph Kobzon. But the great actress does not get along with him either.
Recent series tell about the filming of some well-known paintings. For example, the films Sibiriada and Beloved Woman Mechanic Gavrilova. Gurchenko quarrels with directors, explains how to change the plot so that he becomes more truthful, tries to lead a film crew, shouts at other actors. And somewhere in the background is the sad Konstantin Cooperweis. This is the fifth husband of Lyudmila Markovna.
But what role did Arkady Novitsky play in the life of the heroine? Who is he?
Friend
"Lyudmila Gurchenko" - a biographical series. But here it was not without artistic fiction. The whole life of the heroine is a mental torment caused by a difficult relationship with men. Gurcenos invariably surround crowds of admirers. From time to time, she chooses from this set of enthusiastic men one, as it seems to her, the most worthy. Each of the heroine’s men selflessly loves her, but at a certain stage in the relationship she makes a mistake.
The husbands of the heroine tend to meet from time to time and complain to each other about Lucy. Especially often do Fadeev and Orlov. They have a friend in common - Arkady Novitsky. This person is always ready to listen, support, help. But he is in love with Lyudmila Gurchenko.
Acquaintance with Novitsky
In 1961, the film “Baltic Sky” was released. Around this time, Arkady Novitsky and Gurchenko first met. A friend tells Lyudmila casually about this man: "Talented, writes songs, plays in the theater and has amazing energy."
Vysotsky
Arkady Novitsky - a bard. At the first meeting, he invites the actress to Peredelkino, to the house of his friend Alexander Fadeev. And as soon as Lucy crosses the threshold, he begins to sing in the voice of Vysotsky. The actor, playing the role of Novitsky, of course, imitates Vladimir Semenovich. He succeeds poorly. But the scenes in which Novitsky sings and plays the guitar clearly indicate what the filmmakers meant by this character, Vysotsky.
Novitsky and Gurchenko
What is known about the main character’s friend? Arkady Novitsky, whose biography is revealed in the latest series, reminds one of many of Vysotsky. He has a wife, Marina. In the movie, he is not given the roles he dreams of. There are, however, episodes that reject the version that this hero is a prototype of Vysotsky.
At the end of the film, Arkady Novitsky - a bard, a friend of Gurchenko - flies to Israel. The events of the film cover a huge time period: from the war years to the beginning of the eighties. Vladimir Vysotsky has never been to Israel. And he passed away in 1980. This is the difference between the biography of the famous bard and the life of the hero of the film.
Arkady Novitsky and Gurchenko are the heroes of the biographical film, which something still unites. They meet once. He is married. Lyudmila begins an affair with Alexander Fadeev. Novitsky takes care of Gurchenko: gives flowers, sings songs, declares his love. Once, half in jest, he offers Luce a marriage proposal. But she refuses. When Arkady finds out about the upcoming wedding of Fadeev and Gurchenko, he is worried, suffering. But his own pain does not prevent him from listening to the outpouring of friends. And Alexander Fadeev and Vadim Orlov tell him about their love. Novitsky listens attentively. However, it always remains on the side of Lucy.
According to the plot, in the life of Lyudmila Gurchenko there was a certain Arkady Novitsky - a devoted, loyal friend, ready to always come to the rescue. He was secretly in love with the actress, but never dared to intervene in her personal life. He seemed to observe from the side, from time to time composing songs about Luce. The manner of vocal performance, the appearance of Novitsky and even the legendary Mercedes car - all this points to Vysotsky.
The famous singer and poet became the second person in Moscow who purchased a car of this model. The first was Brezhnev. Therefore, there is a lot of evidence that the scriptwriter meant by the image of Novitsky Vladimir Vysotsky. But “Lyudmila Gurchenko” is a series based on the actress’s autobiographical books. And, according to these works, she was familiar with Vysotsky, but superficially.
Gurchenko's memories
In one of the books, Lyudmila Markovna talks about her first meeting with Vysotsky. They met in 1962. Their first meeting took place in the apartment of a mutual friend. The author does not name him. Gurchenko heard a lot about Vysotsky. She waited a long time for this meeting, but when she took place, she was somewhat disappointed. But not for long. Exactly until the moment when Vysotsky did not begin to sing.
He always sang. And it seemed to shut up for him - it means to die. Gurchenko in his book discusses the life of Vladimir Vysotsky, but as an outside observer. She recalls how others perceived him. During the feast Vysotsky "torn", asked to sing one song, then another. But there were also indifferent faces ...
Gurchenko also recalls in his autobiographical work about how rumors spread around Moscow about Vysotsky's marriage to Marina Vlady. They said he had changed. Lyudmila Markovna once met him at the Melody record company. He was with Marina. Remembering this couple, Gurchenko writes in his book: “If there is real love in the world, then it was it!”
From all the above, we can conclude: the image of Novitsky is not related to Vysotsky. The creators of the film introduced this hero to the plot in order to brighten it up. After all, Vysotsky is still popular today. The presence of such a person will make any story more interesting.
