Three months of isolation in the “star house” is a sure way to put boys and girls in a romantic mood. Songs learned, classes finished...
This is where the fun begins. The young inhabitants of the “through the looking glass” are falling in love; even television cameras cannot stop the stormy romances at the “factory”. And rumors about a certain room for intimate meetings were confirmed to Komsomolskaya Pravda by the “manufacturers” themselves. How do “factory” novels end? “Fat Girl” collected the most striking love stories of the popular television project.
THE BACK SIDE OF THE STAR
Diary of the “manufacturer” Lesha Semenov
“Fat Girl” begins publishing a unique document - excerpts from the personal diary that Lesha Semenov began keeping during the tour of the second “Factory”
Verkhnyaya Pyshma (morning)
We are flying to Yekaterinburg. 10 years of oil company. Charter. Only artists. We took off and landed. We're waiting for our luggage. Boyarsky stands. He was at our “factory”. He was good-natured and cheerful. Rzhevskaya and Leinich ran up to him as they run to their loved ones after separation.
Rzhevskaya: “Mikhail Sergeevich, hello! Do you remember us?!”
Boyarsky: “Yes.”
Verkhnyaya Pyshma (evening)
City Day. Concert. First - Nikolaev, then - Rosenbaum. We joke about Nikolaev, and we stand behind the stage, behind him, and listen to Rosenbaum’s entire performance. Those who sing jazz, those who sing R*N*B, and those like me who don’t sing at all listen.
At 0.30 Andrei Malakhov announced the Star Factory concert. The square howled. It was nice. Five minutes later it was terrible. Since then I have not liked City Days.
Narcissus is the presenter, he is constantly on stage. There are nationalists in the crowd. First they threw a stone at Narcissus. The stone flew nearby, touching Pirtskhalava’s hand. Then a broken bottle flew, a “rose” flew, and at the end of the concert a knife “flew”. Narcissus carries him backstage and examines him. I think that everything is clear from the look. There's nothing to even talk about. Verkhnyaya Pyshma is not London, it deserves forgiveness and regret. Narcissus takes the knife “as a souvenir.” I remember my history teacher’s school joke: “I hate two things: nationalism and blacks.” It is impossible to call a narcissist a black man. He's kind of black, but Russian.
(To be continued in the next issue.)
The languid Sati Casanova from the Factory group chose an older man, who was also influential in show business, as her lover. And, as they say, she seduced Igor Nikolaev. Together they sang the famous “First Reason,” dedicated to the composer’s ex-wife Natasha Koroleva. Alas, the romance between Sati and Nikolaev did not last long. The maestro preferred his director Angela to the oriental beauty, with whom they say he secretly registered a relationship, refusing to comment on anything to the press.
MOM, I LOVE THE PRODUCER
Although the heads of the “factories” claim that the children came here to study, many of them could not resist their charm. Even Alla Pugacheva, as the technical staff of the “factory” says, was carried away by the blond Kostya Legostaev - a copy of her long-time “favorite” Sergei Chelobanov. AB never tires of reprimanding the girl Kostya so that she does not distract the “talent” from the creative process.
“Cat Girl” Masha Rzhevskaya initially made all the “factory” guys fall in love with her. Even a graduate of another “factory”, lead singer of the group “Korni” Pasha Artemyev, admitted that Masha is the most beautiful girl in the history of the television project. Alas, the beauty chose a mature gentleman - assistant producer Igor Krutoy, Ilya Kormiltsev - over her peers. Rumor has it that Masha will soon become a mother and marry her beloved.
ONLY "OFFICE" RELATIONS
Alas, almost all “factory” romances last until the guys leave their “imprisonment” in the “star house”. The passions boiling on the television screen do not stand the test of ordinary life and a busy tour schedule.
A real love drama unfolded between the current lead singer of the “Korni” group, Lesha Kabanov, and the ex-member of the “Factory” group, beauty Masha Alalykina. Naive Kabanov fell head over heels in love with the spectacular Masha. And she warmed up the feelings of a twenty-year-old boy, periodically clinging to Lesha in only thong panties. The guy, flushed with embarrassment, not forgetting about the television cameras, tearfully asked not to publicly ignite the fire in his heart. But, despite declarations of love and passionate kisses, at the end of the project Alalykina announced a breakup to Kabanova and admitted that she had a boyfriend. A month later, Masha left the Factory group, married a wealthy businessman and gave birth to his daughter.
Fourteen-year-old Ukrainian girl Alexa was overtaken by Cupid's arrow in the form of the broken hooligan Timothy. But at first, Timon even laughed at the modest girl who was hardworkingly washing the dishes for all the “manufacturers.” Then he admitted that he fell in love for the first time. After listening to the declaration of love, young Alexa told Timothy that she liked him, but she would not kiss him in front of the cameras. Moreover, the star’s parents, having seen on TV how a rapper in tattoos hugged their daughter, immediately called Alexa and forbade her to flirt with Timothy. The lovers had to wait until the end of the project to enjoy each other's company. Unfortunately, this beautiful story was doomed to failure. On tour, Timothy met another beauty and forgot about Alex. Although even now the “bandit” says that he loves Alexa and when she grows up, they will get married.
Stas Piekha did not agree with his character
The queen of the “Gang,” sexy girl Nastya Kochetkova, could not resist the muscular Stas Piekha. The narcissistic handsome man did not want to give in to the pressure of the beauty, but Kochetkova was nevertheless seduced by the “macho man”. The romance was stormy, but the couple still broke up - their characters were different.
Still, several novels ended, as expected, in weddings.
The femme fatale Ira Dubtsova, right at the Factory, married the lead singer of the Plazma group, Roman Chernitsyn, to whom she dedicated her heartfelt hit “About Him.”
Lesha Semenov, a graduate of Factory-2, officially linked his fate with Lena Temnikova, a participant in The Last Hero, this September.
And the favorite of the director of the “factory” Lina Arifulina, the clockwork Anton Zatsepin, immediately after his release, married his friend, the editor of the Muz TV channel Lyubov Khvorostinina. But even the blessing of “Factory” music producer Evgeny Orlov did not help the young people. Due to the noisy touring life, Zatsepin did not have enough time for family life. Alas, the guys have already managed to get a divorce.
The quiet 16-year-old Ratmir Shishkov also distinguished himself. According to rumors, the lead singer of “Banda” will soon become the father of a family. A fan of the “manufacturer” is expecting his baby. Therefore, Ratmir, like a decent gypsy guy, will soon marry the girl.
One successful couple was formed at Alla Pugacheva’s “factory” - Ruslan Masyukov and Yulianna Karaulova. On evening television, viewers watch every day how Ruslan takes the fragile Yulianna to the bathroom at night to kiss his girlfriend without prying eyes. Whether this “factory” romance will end with a wedding is unknown. But one thing can be stated boldly: “All “manufacturers” are submissive to love.” And it’s not so important whether it will have a happy ending or not, the main thing is that the audience likes it and the rating of the program increases.
The winner of "Factory-3", the son of the famous singer Alexander Malinin, Nikita, simply took advantage of the "factory" as an opportunity to have an affair. He flirted with all his might with seventeen-year-old Masha Weber. There was everything: kisses and bold compliments, but only during the project. And then Malinin told his “kitten” that he had a beloved girl whom he intended to marry.
23-year-old Elman Zeynalov is perhaps one of the most prominent participants in the television project “New Star Factory” on MUZ-TV. Despite the fact that the young man began to study music professionally quite late, he achieved impressive success for a beginner. The song “Adrenaline” by a native of Rostov-on-Don was heard in Amiran Sardarov’s video blog, and one hundred thousand subscribers follow the young man’s life on Instagram. “StarHit” learned from Zeynalov about his views on relationships with girls, his impressions of working with famous artists and his feelings about being in the Star House.
“Sometimes you feel comfortable, sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you are powerless, and at other times you feel energetically charged. But this is life with the terms we agreed to, so I feel great. I check myself every day. The main difficulty I faced is that I am not a vocalist, but more of a rap artist. Therefore, thoughts often arise: “How will I sing?” But I still do it, and then they tell me: “Everything was fine, on par,” Elman told StarHit.
Zeynalov says he takes life’s difficulties calmly. The young man has a balanced character. Elman had to worry only before performing with celebrities, during which he had to demonstrate his vocal abilities. At the first concert, the “manufacturer” had the opportunity to sing with Ani Lorak.
“It was very interesting and cool that I was able to work with such a serious artist who is known throughout the country. I had to work hard on myself so as not to fall flat on my face,” noted the young man.
According to Elman, he is used to living independently. The aspiring performer moved out from his parents at the age of 17. “Naturally, sometimes you want to call your family and friends and hear words of support from them,” he adds.
The artist’s song “Adrenaline” is already being played on radio stations, but Zeynalov does not consider himself a professional. The young man is confident that he has something to strive for. Elman is ready to study a lot and work on himself. “I would like to become a professional vocalist. I have already achieved something in rap, now I need to develop as a vocalist - not only in my style, but also in others in which I am not yet strong. For the most part, I am very self-critical, I need to constantly look for flaws in myself and work on myself. If I don’t see them, then I begin to degrade,” shared the “manufacturer.” Zeynalov also noted that he is not chasing fame.
“I didn’t come to the project for popularity. Of course, all artists want their audience to increase, this is a natural desire, but for me the priority is to work on myself. For the sake of having cool professionals work with me. I missed this. Every time I have to work with a famous person, I try to get the most out of this collaboration... At first, of course, I thought about hype and celebrities, but it was more as a joke, such internal pampering,” Elman recalls.
Zeynalov’s parents did not know about his plans to conquer show business and participate in the “New Star Factory”. “I didn’t tell anyone about the casting. I just arrived, walked through it and called my parents: “Mom, dad, watch me on MUZ-TV.” Friends didn’t find out right away either, because information about the casting results was a secret. They specially come from Rostov to concerts to support me. It’s worth a lot,” said the artist.
There was a setback in Elman's personal life. Five months before the wedding, the young man was abandoned by his lover.
“My attitude towards women has not changed. This is a special case. People are different. It is very stupid to label all girls because of one situation. What happened, happened. It left its mark, but not trauma. Therefore, I am open to a relationship, but only after the end of the project,” he notes.
Now Zeynalov is focused on his career. He does not rule out that in the future he may sacrifice her for the sake of his personal life. “I need to make double efforts to realize myself. If someone appears in my life, I will have to spend energy on something else. I want to improve professionally,” Elman explained. According to Zeynalov, he considers himself a monogamist and is quite trusting of the people around him.
Ulyana Sinetskaya has been studying vocals since early childhood. At the age of 10, she already became a finalist in the National qualifying round of the international Junior Eurovision contest, and when she grew up, she stormed “The Voice” and ended up on Alexander Gradsky’s team. Now the girl is taking part in the “New Star Factory” on the MUZ-TV channel. Despite the fact that Sinetskaya’s lover Samvel Vardanyan left the project, the singer does not despair. Ulyana told StarHit about her attitude towards filming a TV show, love at a distance, as well as working together with the VIA Gra group and Polina Gagarina.
According to the girl, at first she did not believe that she had successfully passed the casting. Her boyfriend Samvel Vardanyan also got into the project. “I remember that there was another couple, and then there was a choice between us. But in the end they took us, both of us at once,” shared Ulyana. When the artist found out that she had become a participant in the TV show, she was in seventh heaven. However, the lovers had to face some difficulties.
“The first time we were at the New Star Factory, it was very difficult for Samvel and me to be under the gun of television cameras,” the girl told StarHit. – It seems to me that all couples who are going through the candy-bouquet period are playing for the audience. We are more conscious in this regard, and our relationships are very personal, so it was a little difficult within the project. We even had clashes."
Samvel left the project about two weeks ago. The girl says that she is not jealous of her significant other towards other girls because she trusts him. According to Sinetskaya, she misses Vardanyan very much. He tries to support his beloved. “We exchange letters and gifts. And when we have time on social networks (only ten minutes), the first thing I do, of course, is write to Samvel,” said the artist.
The young people met several years ago on the set of a musical project. Samvel and Ulyana often share their joint work on the Internet.
“At first I didn’t even think about him. We were friends, then we realized that this was more than friendship. And at one point we decided that we were together. We've been dating for three years now. We are in complete harmony. We love the same style of music, we sing in the same manner and our voices blend perfectly. He tells me something, and I tell him something. There is no criticism, we inspire each other,” says the artist.
Viewers of the MUZ-TV project believe that Ulyana could become another member of the VIA Gra group. The video in which the girl sings along with sexy beauties has become one of the most viewed videos with “manufacturers” on Instagram.
“I don’t know how to be deliberately sexy, it seems to me that this only awakens in me next to Samvel. It was a little hard for me, I overstepped myself due to the fact that I am quite conservative,” Sinetskaya shared. – I tried very hard, but I did everything my way, although I didn’t want to stand out from the group members. They already have an established team, and I adapted to them.”
Ulyana also admitted that she liked singing with Nikita Alekseev. “It turned out really cool,” she says. In addition, during the filming of the project, the girl had the opportunity to perform with Polina Gagarina. Sinetskaya is delighted with the collaboration with the star. “She is my idol and a great role model - I can say that my big dream has come true,” noted the “manufacturer.”
"Producer Viktor Drobysh was appointed, and Ksenia Sobchak was invited to lead the project.
“Of course, “New Star Factory” is very different from previous seasons (the project moved from Channel One to MUZ-TV. - Editor's note), after all, more than ten years have passed - a whole generation has changed. Those who watched the project before are now performing on the stage of the project themselves. And those who were born at that time are now watching “The New Star Factory.” This generation says “next” instead of “further”, and “well” instead of “okay”. They know how it is in America and how it is in China. The Internet has done its job - these guys are very developed. But, fortunately, they have little experience, so they have a lot to learn from us. Without us, they are nothing yet,” says Viktor Drobysh. The producer notes that there is no misunderstanding between him and the new generation. “Music, as always, has been divided into good and bad, and continues to be divided. And to this day, Sony Music is headed by old man Doug Morris, who knows everything and tells rappers how to sound. Fortunately, everything remains in place and it seems to me that we have a very beautiful, productive story for the third week now,” Drobysh concluded.

Why Victor Drobysh is going to shave his head
Indeed, “New Star Factory” has been on air for the third week now. And, as Arman Davletyarov, general director of the MUZ-TV channel, notes, the project aroused great interest among viewers. “The figures that we receive from reporting concerts and show diaries are two and sometimes three times higher than the channel’s share. This indicates great interest in the “New Star Factory”. People are very happy to watch what is happening in the house, get sick and discuss. Just the other day I was flying on a plane, and two girls over 25 were sitting next to me, discussing our manufacturers and wondering who would leave the show at the next reporting concert. This suggests that “Star Factory” was a people’s project and remains so,” said Arman Davletyarov.
The general producer of WeiT Media, Yulia Sumacheva, believes that in December the share of the MUZ-TV channel will increase fivefold thanks to the “New Star Factory”. “If this doesn’t happen, then we’ll shave our heads together,” project producer Viktor Drobysh promised, either jokingly or seriously. - “Wait for December 22 - if the share of MUZ-TV is less than 10, then Yulia Sumacheva and I will be like Igor Krutoy and Joseph Prigozhin.”

It seems that the “New Star Factory” has also revealed the new talents of Viktor Drobysh. At least his sense of humor has never bloomed so wildly anywhere. All thanks to the tandem with Ksenia Sobchak. Humorous battles between the producer and presenter take place both on- and off-screen. “It’s for you to sit here until the night, but for me and Arman (general director of the MUZ-TV channel Arman Davletyarov. - Note ed.) in the costume of an old rose to go to Yana Rudkovskaya,” the presenter of the “New Star Factory” told her colleagues. Viktor Drobysh responded: “And now I’m following your life. I dream of living like you for a day!” Apparently, the producer was not sent an invitation to a loud social event on the occasion of the wedding of Yana Rudkovskaya and Evgeni Plushenko. “I’m just looking for a wealthy lover,” Ksenia Sobchak retorted. “I can sell a kidney,” Victor Drobysh was not taken aback. “It’s better to write a cool song and we’ll make money together,” summed up Ksenia Sobchak. By the way, this is not the first time she has asked the producer about this at the New Star Factory.
“I think that the manufacturers and the channel are, of course, very lucky with the music producer. The project was a project, but people went specifically to Viktor Drobysh. 15,000 people applied to participate, and then they literally stormed the Alla Dukhova Theater. Victor Drobysh is not just a music producer, but a person who makes real stars,” said Arman Davletyarov. He also noted that it was possible to preserve the picture that people had previously seen on Channel One. “In terms of reporting concerts, decorations, lighting, and furnishings of the factory owners’ houses, we are not one iota behind,” Davletyarov is sure.

How do the participants live in the house and what do they complain about?
According to Viktor Drobysh, the living conditions of factory owners are significantly different for the better from what they were before, and one can only envy the competitors. “We ourselves would love to live in this house!” - admits Arman Davletyarov. “It’s like a sanatorium,” Yulia Sumacheva supports her colleagues.
True, the participants of the “New Star Factory” have their own views on living in the house. There is also an alternative opinion. “It’s difficult just to be here - in a closed room, where everything is monotonous and monotonous. There is no brightness of everyday life. I’m used to living like this: I woke up, went outside and that’s it - I’m gone until the evening. But here they don’t let anyone go anywhere, and every day the same faces,” admitted young rapper Nikita Kuznetsov. “At the Star Factory, I have the feeling that I’m back at school: lessons, getting up in the morning, exercises, lights out. All this cannot be put into words, you just need to move into this house and live there for a week. Honestly, it's difficult. Although there are days when you simply forget that you are in a closed space and have a blast.”

In addition, personal SIM cards were taken away from project participants. They are given out only once a week for five minutes so that contestants can communicate with loved ones. And these are not all the difficulties of staying in a starry house. “The most difficult thing is cleaning and, perhaps, choosing costumes,” says the youngest participant in the project, Zina Kupriyanovich, about the hardships of life on a television project.
Celebrity guests who regularly visit the participants of the “New Star Factory” try to add brightness to everyday life. Nathan, Dzhigan, musicians from the group “City 312” were already there. When asked which of the domestic stars would like to sing with, the youngest participant in the current “Star Factory” Zina Kupriyanova answers: “With Timati and Philip Kirkorov.” “And I would also like to go with Kirkorov! – echoes rapper Elman Zeynalov. “And also with Monatic.” Kirkorov is definitely an idol of the new generation. When asked why there is such unanimity in the case of Philip, Elman replies: “It’s just Zina repeating after me! She saw my list and now also says ( Laughs.)».

Conflicts and love at the “New Star Factory”
When so many creative people, and such young and hot ones at that, gather under one roof, competition and conflicts cannot be avoided. “In general, everything was great, but there were difficulties with some people. I had a couple of conflicts, but I closed them,” admitted Elman Zeynalov.
Another rapper of the project, Nikita Kuznetsov, admits: “Personally, I haven’t had any conflicts with anyone yet. I try to treat everyone loyally: neither bad nor good. I generally find it difficult to communicate. Until the age of 15, I was very withdrawn and hardly spoke to anyone. And then it just disappeared.” Kuznetsov admits that he became especially close friends at the Star Factory with Andrei, Danya, Vova and Elman Zeynalov. “But it somehow doesn’t work out with the girls on the perimeter,” Nikita says with a laugh.
Nastasya Samburskaya, Ksenia Sobchak and Nikita Kuznetsov on the set of “New Star Factory”
Elman Zeynalov generally experienced unhappy love on the eve of the “New Star Factory”. A few months before the wedding, the bride left him for a producer. When asked if the ex-lover saw that Elman became a member of the “Star Factory,” he already answers with a laugh: “I don’t know. We don't have phones. But I haven’t seen her at the concert yet, maybe I’ll see her again.”
“There is no competition between us. If I write a verse, I make sure to show it to the person sitting next to me. We are all ready to support each other. We help, we advise, we stay on a global note. And today, when one of the nominees leaves, it will be very difficult, and there will definitely be tears, and a storm of emotions,” summed up Nikita Kuznetsov.
Zina Kupriyanovich and Daniil Ruvinsky on the set of “New Star Factory”
The nominated Zina Kupriyanovich admitted on the eve of the concert that she felt completely calm. She was in a fighting spirit: “I’ll go out and bomb, because I’m confident in myself, in my abilities and in the help of the guys.” “She has such a support here, so she has nothing to worry about!” - confirmed Elman Zeynalov.
And Viktor Drobysh, who last week saved Lolita from elimination, said that he no longer has the opportunity to leave participants in the project. “I think it was right last week. If we had not saved her, it would have been strange on our part. Lolita went through a huge casting of 15,000 people and never got the opportunity to sing her song. It would be dishonest on our part to treat her like that,” the producer explained his decision. General producer of WeiT Media Yulia Sumacheva confirmed: there will be no more rescues at the “New Star Factory”.
