It often seems to us that famous people live somehow especially, supersaturated and superinteresting. They don’t go shopping, don’t go for a walk in the nearest park ... They don’t have any ordinary troubles (take children to school, for example), and they live in a different world ...
And how calm it becomes when it turns out that all the same famous people are not celestials, but quite ordinary individuals! Probably, this is how one can characterize a charming TV presenter who says on the air every day: “Hello, I’m Andrey Petrov, and the program“ Morning of Russia ”is with you.
TV career
This forty-year-old Muscovite (Andrei Petrov was born in 1974) always wanted to be a TV presenter. Therefore, the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University is not a random choice. But before the proposal to become the host of the morning broadcast, there was work on the radio. Interesting from the point of view of gaining experience, but not the one he had dreamed about all his life. Therefore, when the leadership of Radio News Online closed the project, there was no global disappointment. Moreover, the editor-in-chief of the radio station patronized his colleagues on various radio and television channels. So Andrew got on television as a correspondent for the RBC channel. And so began his career in television. After some time, the young correspondent was noticed, and now Andrei Petrov is the TV presenter of one of the largest channels.
Radio. Tribute to the beginning of a career
Work on television for Andrew is not the only one. Paying tribute to the radio, from which it all began in professional life, the journalist works on the radio station "Chanson". After intense and stormy work on the air, the opportunity to sit in a small room of a radio studio without makeup and spotlights is a kind of relaxation and switching, because the host of the “Morning of Russia” Andrei Petrov does not just read the text written by the editors. His task is to tell about the news and events so that during the training camp a person selects and remembers the information he needs. The program is early. And how to do this if you need to be in the studio at four in the morning? Rise at 3 nights, a shower and a cup of tea, the road to work ... And there are already texts, make-up artists, colleagues, guests. This mode is difficult to withstand. Need willpower and a healthy lifestyle.
But to say that the radio is secondary is impossible. Andrey treats all work professionally and, as they say, honestly. Only by checking the information many times can you broadcast it. Both viewers and listeners are accustomed to trust the words of the presenter.
The tip of the iceberg
In an interview, Andrei was asked about leadership in the team that released the program. “The presenter is just the tip of the iceberg,” he replied. There is no need to assert oneself to colleagues when you are a professional, and also recognize professionalism in others.
Of course, there are failures or unforeseen situations on the air, but that’s the task of the presenter in order to quickly navigate and correct someone’s blunder. In addition, the editor who wrote the text or questions for the guest of the program does not have the opportunity to spend at least 10-15 minutes with this person to understand him. Therefore, the presenter often has to reorganize questions, literally force them to fully answer them, because the simple “yes” and “no” are of no interest to anyone.
Morning program - a charge of energy
It is thanks to the charm and ease of the host that the program gains its face. And we can safely say that for viewers Andrei Petrov is the morning of Russia. His voice and smile, questions and comments set up a certain perception of information. It is he, the leader, who must openly talk about politics and medicine, space and economics.
Actually, such a variety of tasks attracts. Andrei Petrov admits that he loves his work, and interest in it does not decrease over time. Every day, new meetings with people who cannot be random acquaintances. This opportunity to communicate with representatives of different professions is one of the bonuses of the TV presenter. It is unlikely that anyone will have the opportunity to talk with an astronaut or historian, government officials and participants in various shows. And “Morning of Russia” is just such a versatile program. Even its format changes periodically. And the presenters have to adjust. It is one thing to communicate with the viewer and guests sitting on a studio sofa, and quite another - standing. Here, control over words and facial expressions also adds control over the whole body - posture, neatness from head to toe, restraint and gesticulation.
Comedy "Good morning" film company "Paramount"
Director Roger Mitchell made the film Good Morning about the backstage life of the morning air program. The film has it all: low ratings, a TV presenter, a snob, and close people of the program’s employees ... It turned out to be a funny story about life around one morning show.
To voice the film in Russian, all the leading programs of “Morning of Russia” were invited. Of course, it is impossible to refuse such an offer. Finding yourself inside the same program, but American television, is very interesting and instructive. Andrei Petrov admits that this experience allowed him to take a look at his profession from the outside, to further evaluate the patience and endurance of loved ones, because when you give yourself completely to work, your relatives may be on the sidelines. It was this role that Andrei got in the voice acting.
Andrey Petrov. Personal life
Families of famous people are usually spoken about. Everyone is interested in the flip side of the coin, not just professional life. Andrei Petrov, whose wife provides rear services, is an excellent family man. Andrei and Ulyana have been together for more than 17 years, raising two children, although their marriage is not officially registered. This is the rare case when two found each other and achieved absolute trust. In an interview, Andrei said with a smile that they could not find a reason to register a marriage.
The TV host also told the story of acquaintance more than once. Andrei and Ulyana ended up in the same company at a friend’s birthday celebration. All evening Andrei entertained a new acquaintance, and then volunteered to carry her home. The meeting continued a few days later, and a couple of months later, Andrei and Ulyana began to live together.
Different temperaments are the foundation of a strong family
Now Andrei calls his wife the most severe critic. Spouses are very different characters and perceive information in different ways. Ulyana gives an objective assessment of professional activity, and Andrei appreciates this impartial opinion. In their family life there is no place for debate and contention. Hot-tempered Ulyana is balanced by calm and good-natured Andrey, all disagreements are quickly resolved. The dispute subsides, so plainly and without having had time to begin.
Andrei Petrov does not hesitate to admit that he is trying to spend free time with children and his wife. His stories about joint walks in a park near his home or about shopping trips sound somewhat commonplace. But this is the charm of working so that the family is happy. And enjoy every minute spent together.
Children - Responsibility and Love
Before the birth of children, Ulyana worked in her specialty (she is a doctor), but the appearance of her son set priorities: it was more difficult to leave Igor to the nanny than to refuse to work. Therefore, now Ulyana is a happy housewife, busy raising two children.
According to the spouses, they did not specifically plan the birth of heirs. The appearance of the eldest son was the beginning of a new life: to get up, swaddle, feed, walk. And Andrei helped his wife in everything, supported, replaced, as far as possible, her efforts to care for her son.
When the daughter Inna was born, the couple were already experienced parents, and daily worries were not so worrying.
Now that the kids are older, Andrei is trying not to miss the matinees in kindergarten and parent meetings at school. Finding out how your children live is a pleasant parental responsibility.
There is always a place for a holiday in life
Andrei Petrov, whose biography is not full of ups and downs, calls himself a homebody, because he seeks home, to his wife and children, always and everywhere. Unfortunately, a well-known TV presenter happens to stay late at work or work on weekends. The motto of the Petrova family is the phrase "there is always a place for celebration in life." Together, they try to organize celebrations more often, even if for no reason. Joint rest in this family is very much appreciated, because it brings only positive emotions.
We can say that Andrei lives today, not looking far into the future. But the confidence that tomorrow will be better than yesterday does not leave the leading morning broadcast. And you can learn from him.
