Vadim Orlov - one of the heroes of the series "Lyudmila Gurchenko". The film tells about the life of the actress from the war years to 1981, when the shooting of Peter Todorovsky’s film “Beloved Woman of the Mechanic Gavrilov” took place.
Vadim Orlov - singer in the series about Gurchenko. The actress was married six times. Who did the scriptwriter of the film mean when creating such a hero as Vadim Orlov? Whose prototype is the singer in the film dedicated to the legendary Soviet and Russian artist?
Before answering these questions, we should briefly describe the content of the series. Vadim Orlov appears in one of the last.
Vasily Ordynsky
The film begins with the image of Gurchenko's early years. Then shows student years. The first story tells about the acquaintance of Lyudmila Gurchenko with her first husband - director Vasily Ordynsky. Gurchenko is a student at a theater school. Its teachers are Gerasimov and Makarova. Ordynsky is looking for the heroine for the main role in his debut picture, having seen Lyudmila, he understands that he needs it exactly - both on the set and in life.
Leningrad
But Ordynsky is forbidden to shoot Gurchenko in his film. At a time when she is in Kharkov and tells everything about the upcoming work in the cinema, he claims another actress.
In the spring, students of the course go to Leningrad to shoot. Without a role, only Gurchenko remains. But Makarova puts pressure on Jan Fried, and he gives Lyudmila a small role.
"Carnival Night"
The third series shows the beginning of Gurchenko’s film career. She is invited to star in the musical film Carnival Night. Ryazanov does not like the young artist. But the shooting goes well, and after the premiere, Lyudmila realizes that she has become famous. Meanwhile, in the Kharkov cinema, father Gurchenko watches a film with her participation, regularly jumps up and shouts to the whole audience: “This is my daughter!”
Boris Andronikashvili
The young artist parted with Vasily Ordynsky . During the tour, a front-line girlfriend comes to him. Lyudmila learns about this and in a hurry collects a suitcase. It should be said that later on, without hesitation, she leaves each of her men. At the same time, having several dozen outfits in her wardrobe, she always leaves with two small suitcases.
Once Lyudmila meets the son of the infamous writer Boris Pilnyak. Gurchenko is getting married to a novice screenwriter. However, the career of Boris Andronikashvili does not add up. The reason is the biography of his father, who was arrested in 1937. In addition, Boris refuses to write a custom script.
Meanwhile, in the Komsomolskaya Pravda, the famous article “Taped to the Left” appears. Gurchenko is accused of money fraud, participation in "left" concerts. And once Ludmila is invited to a conversation by KGB officers. Lucy is offered to become a secret employee. Rejection of this offer implies a career collapse. And the actress leaves Moscow for a while.
Lyudmila Gurchenko moves to a new house, where Mark Bernes becomes her neighbor . Around this time, one unfamiliar artist invited her to Peredelkino. At the cottage of one of the artists, she meets a man named Vadim Orlov. A photo from the film is presented below. By the way, Gurchenko gets acquainted with Orlov thanks to Arkady Novitsky, who many viewers perceive as a prototype of Vysotsky.
Vadim Orlov is a person who has connections everywhere: in a restaurant, in a store. He has many friends, and he is a famous pop artist. But the third husband Gurchenko becomes Alexander Fadeev. This man was the adopted son of the famous Soviet writer.
Alexander Fadeev
Another husband Gurchenko often drinks. Periodically calls his wife during filming and complains about feeling unwell. In addition, Fadeev arranges a scene of jealousy to Lyudmila. At this time, Novitsky and Orlov suffer from a love of the artist and share their experiences with each other. The actor, who in this film tried to create the image of Vysotsky, rather ineptly did a parody of the famous bard. Novitsky devotes songs to Gurchenko, then performs them in a hoarse voice. Meanwhile, his wife Marina is waiting for him at the dacha. According to the biographical data, Vysotsky and Gurchenko never had such close relations.
Novitsky
Fadeev proved himself to be infantile, weak. Gurchenko soon left him, collecting her unchanged suitcase. Alexander goes to Novitsky. And again, the Gurchenko men share their experiences. It seems that in the life of Novitsky, Ordynsky, Orlov there is nothing but thoughts about Lyudmila and worries about her career.
The fourth husband of the star of Soviet cinema was the man who is present in the script of the film under the name Vadim Orl. He appears in her life immediately after breaking up with Alexander. Assists in the organization of concerts, supports morally. And then, like other heroes of the series, falls in love with the artist without memory and marries her. Ludmila brings daughter Masha from Kharkov. Orlov takes part in the upbringing of the girl. He is a rational, cold-blooded person. And most importantly, Orlov, unlike his predecessors, has a stable income. But Gurchenko divorces him.
Who did the filmmakers mean? Who is Vadim Orlov?
The singer, Gurchenko’s husband is Joseph Kobzon. The famous artist was married at different times with a screenwriter, actor, director, accompanist. Her biography also includes a three-year marriage with Kobzon. And therefore, there is no doubt that under Orlov, the creators of the series meant a Soviet pop star.
