The Russian adaptation of the popular German soap opera Bianca. The Way to Happiness showed the ups and downs of their characters' lives for 303 episodes. The actors of the “Fire of Love” did an excellent job of creating a melodramatic story with love, betrayal and terrible family secrets. In general, it turned out to be an almost perfect series for housewives, where the characters create difficulties for themselves, then they overcome them and everything happily ends.
general information
The melodrama was shot from 2007 to 2009, the premiere took place in 2008. The series is based on the first German movie "Bianca. The Way to Happiness", produced by Freematle. The story of provincial life with the stratification of society into rich and poor turned out to be very Russian, as well as the main characters, their characters and life situations that simply could not happen in Germany. Actors and roles in the "Fire of Love" are absolutely organically consistent with each other.
The film was shot by three groups of directors - only eleven people, including Andrei Komkov, Konstantin Serov, Radu Krikhan. Three coped with the script - Vladimir Dyachenko, Maria Krasheninnikova, Julia Milanovich. The music for the film was written by Alexei Shelygin, and the lyrics, including "You Fly the Dove ..." accompanying the credits, were Mikhail Bartenev.
Actors and roles of the series "Fire of Love"
The main role of Svetlana Koroleva in the film was given to Elena Levkovich, for whom this work became a kind of "ticket to the profession." After filming the series, she became a popular and sought-after actress, like many other actors of Love Fire. Her antagonist - the main villain - became Ekaterina Solomatina, who starred as the sister of the main character, Rita.
The main male role of Oleg Davydov was chosen by Mikhail Khimichev. The actor himself believes that his hero is rather a positive character who not only seeks to make money, but also tries to help people. The storyline - the confrontation between son and father - is very close to Khimichev, who says that he understands the behavior of Oleg, who wants to do everything in his own way. Numerous life tests temper his hero, change his character.
Evelina Bledans got the role of an ambitious and bitchy, but very attractive secretary. Other actors of the “Fire of Love” - Ilya Sokolovsky - Edik (driver of Oleg Davydov), Ekaterina Primorskaya - Julia (wife of Oleg), Ksenia Vivat - Ksenia (sister of Oleg). The young sister of the protagonist is the daughter of wealthy parents of a transitional age, therefore, often makes conflicting acts. She also has problems - it is difficult to find a common language with very busy parents.
The plot of the picture
Svetlana Koroleva spent three years in prison on an unfair charge of intentionally setting fire to a car repair shop where her father died in the fire. Having been released, she does not want to return to her hometown and accepts the invitation of her half-sister Rita. She moved to the small town of Katsinsk and lives in a rented apartment. The girl believes that it will be easier for her to start a new life. Actors of the series “Fire of Love” said that the fictional city in which the film took place is very similar to a real Soviet town.
The main character does not know that Rita is a very cunning and treacherous person, directly to blame for the death of her father. Local businessmen wanted to buy a plot of land on which there was a car repair shop, but could not agree with Sveta's father. Rita, who never loved her stepfather, agreed to fire in the workshop for the money. The provincial town was not chosen by chance as a girl; the banker Davydov lives here, whose son she intends to "charm and enrich."
Difficult love relationship
Love triangles in the picture turned out no worse than in Indian or Brazilian series. Rita took her sister for a walk in the spring forest, where the family of the banker Davydov, who have their own little stable, often rides horses.
On the forest path, the girls were nearly hit by horseback riding Oleg and his personal driver Edik. Taking advantage of the situation, Rita quickly charmed Oleg, and they literally an hour later continued the "chance acquaintance" in bed. Sveta walks through the forest with a chauffeur, and towards the end of the walk, sympathy arises between them, which will later develop into love. Girls just don’t know that they met men on Oleg’s birthday. Young people are childhood friends. And the rich heir invited his driver to swap places on this day.
Behind the scenes
The film production pavilion was created at a former factory. The Germans, seeing the scenery depicting the usual "Khrushchev", were surprised - could it really be like that in Russia. Field shooting took place in the old Moscow districts and Balashikha, scenes in a banking mansion were shot in a manor on the Lenin Hills.
The actors of the “Fire of Love” performed many extreme scenes themselves, without stuntmen. Actress Alena Levkovich said that she was scared when in the scene of saving her lover, she dragged him through the real flame. Mikhail Khimichev, on the contrary, really liked shooting horse races and fire scenes.
