In 2008, a new romantic series “Redhead” appeared on the STS channel. At that time, unknown people became the actors of the main cast. What happened to them now? Has their life changed since the release of this dramatic multi-part melodrama?
The main female role
The approximate release date of the series "Red" has already been set, the plot is completely written, the shooting is planned, and the actress for the main female role has not yet been selected. The red-haired Maria Lugovaya came to the casting - a very sweet, fragile girl with a refined nature. As a child, she loved to dance, excellently played the piano and loved to participate in school productions. After graduating from school, she entered the Theater Institute of St. Petersburg. The series "Red" was her second job, where she successfully played a major role.
The heroine of Maria Lugovoi is a modest and well-bred girl named Taisia. She studies at a music school, plays the piano excellently and has excellent voice data. A tragedy happens to her - she loses her sight. Since then, the life of a talented girl has changed markedly.
This project has become a great experience for the actress. She was actively invited to participate in other creative works. A talented person can also be seen in the film: “In the forests and on the mountains”, “The White Guard” and “Murka”.
The main male role
For Andrei Shchipanov, as well as for many actors of the series "Red", this project was the first serious work. His hero was Boris Okunev - the son of a successful ophthalmologist. He sings excellently, plays the guitar, he has his own music group, with whom he goes on tour. In a completely random way, he meets a girl named Tasya in a provincial town and becomes the culprit of her blindness. Fate pushes them again, but already in Moscow. Trying to make amends and avoid punishing law enforcement for this act, he falls in love with her.
After the release of the series "Red" (2008-2009), Shchipanov becomes popular among both viewers and producers. He periodically began to receive new offers to participate in the filming. Andrei worked on the films “Into the Dark” and “Volkov Hour 3”. Due to numerous tours and long work, he was never able to graduate from a theater institute. Currently, he seeks to catch up.
Parents
The series "Red" plot is very twisted. Thais's father and Boris's stepfather are one and the same person. As mentioned earlier, this is a successful ophthalmologist. A blind girl comes to Moscow for treatment, where Okunev takes her under her control.
This character was excellently played by the People's Artist of Russia Dmitry Yachevsky. He has vast experience in such creative work. To date, his filmography has more than 85 successful projects.
Thais's mother is a very modest, but incredibly proud and strong woman. She believes that she and her daughter will be able to overcome all obstacles and does everything necessary for this. The role of Eugenia went to Elena Drobysheva. A talented actress was born in a family of folk artists. Already in childhood, she decided that she would follow in the footsteps of her relatives. She participated in more than 70 works.
Vika
Vika Buzycheva is the daughter of a successful businessman. She absolutely does not have vocal abilities, but at the same time, she dreams of becoming a successful singer. Naturally, a caring dad does everything necessary to ensure that his daughter is happy. Vika meets Taisia and uses her voice for her creative purposes. Without knowing it, she becomes part of a love triangle.
The role of this mercantile and cunning person went to Alla Podchufarova. For her, as well as for many other actors of the series "Red", this work was the start on the path to popularity. Colleagues assure that in Alla’s life the exact opposite of her heroine is that she is very modest, cheerful and achieves everything only on her own.
Alyona
Alena is Boris’s sister. The girl is noticeably different from her sibling, and not surprisingly, because they have different fathers. She is kind, responsible and very wise. Alena is noticeably different from her mother - a very, cunning and mercantile person. During the series, the viewer learns that she and Taisia are sisters.
This heroine was played by Polina Sidikhina. At the time of filming, she was barely 20 years old. Despite such a young age, this series was not her first creative work. For the first time, the viewer saw a talented girl in one of the episodes of Gangster Petersburg, and her face can also be seen in the films “MUR is MUR”, “Secret Guard” and “Antikiller.” Work on STS added experience to her, and after the melodrama was released on TV her first fans appeared.
Reviews
In 2008 and 2009, the series “Redhead” became the most discussed project among viewers. Reviews about it were divided into two headquarters: one liked the film, and the other it caused purely negative emotions. Many girls liked the plot itself: the main characters wanted to empathize. They were looking forward to each new series in order to find out whether Taisia Boris would forgive, whether they could be together, whether the talented girl would declassify the fraud of harmful Victoria.
As for the negative reviews, the series seemed too long for many viewers.
A touching story about a blind and proud girl with good creative abilities became the basis of the series "Red". Actors Maria Lugovaya and Andrey Shchipanov made every effort to ensure that their characters looked believable. And they did it. Many viewers after the completion of this project were sure that the couple on the set did not have to pretend.
