Favorite actors: "Mike's Tales"

In 2012, the new comedy series "Tales of Mityaya" appeared on the screens. The protagonist moved to his own film life from another, no less beloved project "Matchmakers."

"Tales of Mitya": the idea of creating a series

In 2011, Alexei Kiryushchenko and Vladimir Zelensky decided to shoot the spin-off series "Matchmakers." The central hero of the new TV show was chosen one of the brightest representatives of "Matchmakers" - neighbor Mitia.

In the series about two completely different elderly couples who were forced to become relatives by the will of fate, Mitiai became that secondary character who introduced variety and some zest into the life of matchmakers. Naturally, according to the audience's feedback, it became clear that the ratings of "Matchmakers" would not be so high without Mitya.

The director watched the material, worked with the writers, and turned out little comedic stories that could make the viewer laugh. Domestic actors were invited to the tests. "Tales Mityaya" - a series that brought together a good ensemble of professionals. Naturally, the main role - a drunken alcoholic with a kind heart and a keen mind - was played by actor Nikolai Dobrynin. The nomination of the protagonist was not even discussed, because, in fact, the plot for the new series was written exclusively for this image.

Plot

In the Kuchugury PGT there lives an incorrigible romantic and dreamer Mityai. He, like many residents of his small country, likes to drink, eat, chat with friends, and most importantly - tell the story. Mitya has the gift to fall into various unthinkable, sometimes sensitive situations. To get out of the water, the main character came up with his own tactics - to entice the interlocutor, to tell an incredible story from his life. Of course, many of his friends and listeners believe that he is an absolute liar, but he is so believably telling that he wants to believe. Thus, Mitiai said that he was the first to fly to the moon, was a personal driver of Brezhnev, served in secret forces, tested secret weapons, was engaged to the daughter of a Mexican mafia and nearly lost his life.

The series "Tales of Mityaya" was broadcasted on "Inter", had good viewing ratings. It was helped by the fact that there were only 19 episodes in the film - the optimal amount of material so as not to annoy the viewer. In addition, a huge role was played not by the stories themselves, but by actors. "Mikeya's Tales" received different reviews from viewers: someone called the show stupid, someone - funny, the game of the main characters received a warm response from the audience.

Main roles

In the center of the plot is a hopeless romantic Mitya Buchankin, or rather, he is a person who, after living a life, realizes that he could have lived it differently. He genuinely lives in situations in which, he said, he got into. In the back of his heart, he regrets that he never managed to leave his native PGT and reincarnate in someone else. That's why he tells all his tales to somehow diversify his boring life. In the title role, Nikolai Dobrynin revealed his comedic and dramatic talent.

The spectator knows Nikolay on many domestic serials. He was a bandit, a hitman, and a romantic, but, strangely enough, Mitya's role became one of the most successful in his career. Today in the filmography of the actor 112 roles played in the movies, and work in the theater. Nikolai is in demand and we love the audience.

A huge contribution to the series was made by Nikolay Dobrynin, but secondary actors played an important role. "Mikeya's Tales" is a series in which every episode is a separate story, that's why a lot of actors were involved in the shootings.

Minor characters

Nineteen actors took part in the film. In the episodic roles, even the director Alexei Kiryushchenko was shot. Since the film was produced by the studio "Quarter 95", then its actors were involved. "Tales of Mitya" for some of them became the first work in the cinema, and someone already knew the mechanism of filming. Due to the rather modest budget of the picture, the same actor could appear in the film as different heroes.

Recognized comedians Evgeny Koshevoy, Yuri Krapov, Yegor Krutogolov, Maxim Nelipa played various fictitious Mityaem heroes. Victor Andrienko turned into the chairman of the collective farm Kuchegura. Alexander Ignatusha embodied the character of the local militiaman Alekseevich. Female characters embodied on screen Diana Malaya (she played the wife of Mitya and all his fictitious lovers), Elena Skripka (mother of Mitya), Olga Radchuk (senior nurse).

The series was funny, ironic and funny due to the unique story and heroes, which masterfully embodied on the screens of Russian and Ukrainian actors. "Tales Mityaya" is a film that was especially liked by people of the older generation and those who have experienced the rural way of life on their own experience.
