When Soldiers Sing A pleasant surprise was for me once showing on New Year's Eve 2-part film-musical "Soldiers". New Year, your division! on the TV channel Ren TV. Probably because the project went a little further, in a different direction than the banal New Year special series (“Hello Company, New Year”). In addition to the main plot, there will be musical numbers, no worse than on the Blue Light. Only perform artists will not be under their own names, but under fictional, screen. And yet (and this is the main plus of the project, in my opinion) the creators managed to collect on the screen such a huge number of characters, some of which have long left the project, which is really perceived as a New Year's miracle.
According to the plot, December 31, 2007 all the personnel of the unit are sent far into the forest to some bunker. However, there they will be waiting for a surprise: their friends and “second halves” organized a banquet, which will also be joined by those who once served in this unit.
However, preparing for the storage of fuel for the holiday Danyluk and nurse Dasha, dressed in costumes of Santa Claus and Snow Maiden, respectively, as well as low Pogosyan in the image of the upcoming 2008, did not hear the alarm. And as a result, they are forced to get to the place on their own, overcoming all the tests that this New Year's Eve prepared for them.
The repertoire of songs turned out to be diverse - from traditional New Year, to Soviet classics and Russian songs, far from the New Year themes.
I'll take a quick look at the party.
DMB-2004 was presented by sergeants Fomin (Yuri Safarov), Evseev (Vitaly Abdulov) and cook Sukhachev (Pavel Misailov), who sang the song "Three White Horses" from the film "Wizards". If earlier the viewer did not understand in what rank Evseev (on the epaulettes of the skirts of a senior sergeant, and in the credits is indicated as an “old-timer”), then here they decided not to bother and make him a sergeant, like Fomin. Fomin will survive a love adventure, wanting to hit on Marina Zotova (Yulia Borilova).
DMB-2005 presented Kabanov (Alexander Palchikov), Gunko (Anton Eldarov), Vakutagin (Amadu Mamadakov), singing the song "Murka". At the same time, Vakutagina has a vet of the Navy (which is hinted by the participation of the character in the series “Sea Soul”). And this is except for Medvedev (instead of whom his wife Ira came to congratulate him on the offensive) and Sokolov (who already serves in the series since the first series).
DMB-2006 presented the familiar trio on the TV series "Ensigner": Lavrov (Pavel Galich), Shchur (Vasily Shevelilkin) and Papazoglo (Maxim Maltsev). At the same time, Lavrov and Gunko in this project wear the titles that they received as contractors (and not those with whom they went to the reserve). Well, the song “God what a trifle”, which Lavrov sang with Gunko and Kabanov for me became one of the most favorite numbers of the project.
For DMB-2007 pouted only one Tslav (Ruslan Sasin), who played the role of bartender at the New Year banquet. However, he also had to perform a song. And not one, but with other similar “brakes” 2nd company of different appeals: Papazoglo and Butonov (Denis Buzin).
Old-timers of the 2nd company (who left six months before the demo) almost in full performed “Because you can not be beautiful in the world” – another wonderful number that turned out not worse than the original.
Sing the song and specialist Shkalin (Anatoly Kot). And on its subject (“Moments” Kobzon from “17 Moments of Spring”).
The event was also attended by the couple of Smalkovs, Kolobkov (Roman Madianov) with Valentina Pokroshinskaya (Anna Ardova), as well as the “nail” of the show will be Major General Borodin (Boris Shcherbakov).
Well, it was pretty good. The fact that in acting universities students are taught not only to play, dance, but also to sing, was clear and so. But some actors really opened up on the other side, revealing their vocal abilities (for which a huge thank you to the creators who invented this project).
A spoonful of tar will call the presence in the mini-series of the group “Gold” (allusion to “Silver”). Somehow, their candid dance looked uninteresting. In fact, we could have done without them. Well, the absence of Shmatko in the performance of Alexei Maklakov somehow upset me. Still, Oleg Nikolaevich is one of the main characters of the army saga, so it was a shame not to see him.
It was pretty good, though.
