"I would not want three people to beat for my heart": Miloslavskaya about the work of an actor, male attention and the film "Russian South"

- Last year, several sports-related films with your participation were released.

Your heroine in the film "Russian South" also did not pass him by - she is engaged in diving.

How do you feel about sports?

Doing something to keep fit?

- I am not a sports person, in my life sport, as something permanent, is absent.

Only now they gave me a coach to keep me in good physical shape.

How it turns out that sports dramas are present in the filmography, I do not know.

It's just a coincidence.

- How did you prepare for filming in this project?

Had to go to training?

- Not.

The only thing I was taught was to jump.

I am very afraid to dive with a "fish" and generally jump headfirst.

Therefore, I had training in the pool.

I was also taught to swim so that in the frame I looked like a professional.

- The heroes of the film perform unsafe stunts.

Did you use stunt doubles?

- Of course, we resorted to the help of understudies, because jumping from a yacht with a fish, for example, is unsafe without lengthy preparation: you can get seriously injured.

Everyone has to do their job.

And I did everything else myself - drove go-karting, stood at the lighthouse at a height of 15 meters.

- What was the most difficult thing for you in working on this film?

- Probably the scenes in the water.

Here is one case when I was filmed in the water, on the open sea.

The operator was at depth, I had to swim down to the camera.

I was wearing a wedding dress with a four-meter hem.

This hem wrapped around my legs, tied it like a mummy, and dragged me to the bottom.

It was terribly scary.

Of course, there were divers who could pull me out at any second.

But when you drown, panic begins, you forget that you can be saved, you start to break out instinctively ... I was very nervous that day.

At first she screamed, then she roared, then she screamed again.

And then she laughed.

I wouldn't have drowned anyway - security was very well monitored there.

- How long have you been under water in such scenes?

- No, literally for a few seconds.

But you don't just need to be under water!

So you barely saw the camera in the water, you need to fix your dress, remove the hair from your face - and swim beautifully, while also performing the director's task.

Or another case when we filmed the first jump from the tower.

There was also an understudy there, but they still dressed me in some kind of bindings, turned upside down and released me from a six-meter height.

This is another story too.

The first time I was immediately hysterical.

Apparently, I am such a person: first I need to shout it all out, cry, and then I will do it.

But it was both scary and painful: the cables squeeze, crush, rub ...

- And in life, how do you feel about extreme?

Do you like extreme entertainment?

- I love amusement parks.

And always, if I come to a country where there is some famous park, I definitely go there.

But that year in Kabardinka, where we filmed the film ... There is a park with very scary attractions.

I, of course, dragged the guys there with me.

And I felt bad, began to feel sick.

I thought: has this moment come, so quickly?

I was hoping to ride some more.

- Three young people are in love with your heroine at once.

How does it feel to bathe in such attention, to be in the middle of a groom war?

- It seems to me not very much.

I don't understand girls who like it.

Yes, I myself love attention, of course.

But I would not want three people to beat for my heart, because one of them is sure to suffer!

Why be a catalyst for other people's negative feelings?

- What do you think is the reason for the popularity of your heroine?

How is she different from other girls?

- Honesty, character.

If she feels that her heart is beating in one direction, then she runs after this impulse.

I think guys like girls like that.

They are much more interesting than dolls, which are constantly in some kind of mask, making something of themselves.

Nowadays girls like my heroine are rare.

- According to the director of the film Anton Fedotov, "Russian South" is a story about actions, about what people are ready for to achieve their goals.

Can you remember your most desperate act?

- I have a story.

It was at the end of the first year.

Filming is not welcome at the Moscow Art Theater School, because it interferes with studies.

But sometimes the teachers let go.

And we had a misunderstanding with my master.

Maybe I said something wrong, or he misunderstood.

I took time off to shoot for the fall, and it seemed to me that he let me go.

But I didn’t bring any supporting papers to the study department.

At the end of August, one of our teachers called me and said that the master was not aware that I would not be here in the fall.

And this is a deduction.

I wrote to him, saying: "Maybe we will talk to you, we misunderstood each other."

He said: "No, we will meet on the first of September in the office of the rector and there we will discuss everything."

I didn't wait for September.

I went to his theater, and there was a checkpoint, no one was allowed.

And in general it is wrong to come to the artistic director of the theater without permission.

But I didn't give a damn about everything, because it was about my life, my student body.

She broke into his office, practically without knocking, and said: "Evgeny Alexandrovich, let's talk."

In the first year, we are so afraid of teachers!

They are adult uncles and aunts for us, but we are still nobody.

And to come to my master, being such an impudent freshman ... I think it influenced him, showed that I have character.

And he somehow beat me off, begged at the educational unit that they would pardon me and not expel me.

- In one of the interviews you said that you were not ready to go for cardinal changes in appearance for the sake of work ...

- I have to understand why I am doing this.

Roughly speaking, I don't want to shave my head for a bad series, stupid, shallow.

Why would I want to lose other projects and my mood?

Once I was approved in the cinema, and the director said: "You will need to shave your head right in the frame."

I liked the story, the script, but the director was embarrassing.

It was at the level of intuition, I felt that he would not be able to shoot subtly and deeply.

He can vulgarize this story, turn it over and turn it into a cheap melodrama.

I hesitated, thought: I need it, don't I?

It was the end of the institute, and I imagined that I would go bald to graduation.

And for what?

Ultimately, she refused.

I was worried about this, because then there were not so many big roles, and this one is interesting.

But recently I saw that movie.

First, no one ever saw him.

Secondly, this is a very, very bad movie.

Thank God I refused!

Of course, I'm ready to experiment.

But it all depends on the director.

If I trust him, there will be no question - it is necessary, it is not necessary ...

- Where for you is the line of admissible in the matter of radical changes in appearance?

- I'm not ready to risk my health.

For example, I am naturally very thin, this is my constitution, genes.

And I'm not ready to get better for the role, because I know: there will be a lot of stress for the body, hormonal disruption.

I admire the artists who are capable of this.

But it seems to me that there must be a predisposition.

With my 45-47 kilograms, I can't get better in any way.

- Over the past year, with your participation, mainly full-length films have been released, whereas before you acted more in serials.

Is it a coincidence or a deliberate decision?

- Conjuncture.

Cinema takes longer than TV series, and if you look - "On the edge", "One breath", "Bull" were filmed in parallel, in 2018.

After the shooting of "Streltsov" began.

And only then - the series “90s.

Fun and loud. "

He appeared first, "Bull" came out on "Kinotavr", "Streltsov" got into a pandemic, moved.

And everything else layered on top of each other.

And the "Fire" in general was a year after "Streltsov" and everything else.

I don't really like that either.

It seems to me that such things need to be diluted.

So that, say, a sports drama does not come out with one artist once a month.

- Do you have any personal preferences regarding the format?

- No, it all depends on the story and the director.

Nothing else interests me.

- Do you happen to refuse offers?

- It’s not that I’m invited to the role, I haven’t reached this level yet.

My name is for audition.

There it is interesting and important for me to get to know the director, talk to him personally, feel him, understand what he wants.

Sometimes stories come to which I immediately say: "No, I won't even go to audition."

But more often I go, even just to get acquainted, for the future.

- Was it such that you came to audition, met, talked and changed your mind?

- It was.

But it normal.

I try to be straightforward.

I was once told that this is not possible, you must always come up with excuses.

But I am for honesty.

I can tell the director that I came to meet you, it is interesting to talk about the script.

And I start to sort out what I don't like.

Not that I came so cool - just an honest dialogue.

Once I really did not like the script, but I wanted to discuss it with the director.

In the end, we had a great conversation, and at the end he said: "Damn, you're cool."

Although I, in theory, scolded his script.

But I tried to do it reasonably and in a friendly manner.

I didn’t go to this director to film, and I hope he didn’t hold a grudge against me.

The next time he comes up with some kind of story, if I like it, I will go to him with pleasure.

- You made your film debut six years ago, and during this time you have already released two dozen tapes.

Do you often remember your debut?

The first film, the first director - is it like first love, an unforgettable experience for a lifetime?

- Yes.

I have such feelings from the "Red Bracelets".

We found ourselves so cool with the guys, we are still friends, we act in different projects.

With Philip Ershov, they have released several premieres at the Ermolova Theater.

And they acted in films together several times. 

I always remember this project with some incredible warmth, and really, like my first love.

There is also such a fabulous story of my getting there ...

- Will you tell?

- After the first year, my friends and I flew away to rest.

And before that, I went to audition, but I still did not understand what it was all about - "Red bracelets".

I flew to Thailand, and one person called me there (I will not give his name), convinced me that I need to fly back to Moscow tomorrow and star in this project.

In general, I pulled it out of Thailand.

I was immediately taken from the airport to the pavilion where the reading took place.

I did not understand anything: I was on the other side of the world, and here it is!

Many thanks to this man for convincing me after all.

- Last year you performed your first major dramatic role on stage, in the play "Summer Residents", and before the premiere you wrote on Instagram that you are very worried.

How did this production come to you?

- It was hard in the physical sense.

It was all in parallel with the Russian South, so I flew back and forth.

The plane, Moscow - Gelendzhik, or Moscow - Anapa was like a minibus for me.

As for the rest, working with Eugene Josefovich Marcelli is a sheer pleasure.

He is a director whose performances are born exclusively from love, from love and in love.

For the first month, for example, we just sat in the rehearsal room, eating strawberries, chocolate, drinking tea and discussing the play.

I am glad that the first experience of a big serious role (not in a comedy, this is a classic, and the heroine is so difficult) passed under his leadership.

Because otherwise I would not have coped, I would be constantly stressed.

He loves his artists very much, directs them, but does not scold, does not destroy self-esteem.

That's cool.

- Does the excitement before going on stage subside over time, or every time - as for the first time?

- Like the first time.

I think that's why people go to artists.

It's such a drug!

Someone is nervous in advance, and I am one of those people who are nervous a minute before.

They start to cover me, I just can't get myself together.

I may have hiccups, twitching eyes, something else ... But we all love our profession for this.

- In the cinema, probably not so scary ...

- Before the first day of shooting, I'm terribly nervous!

It's always stressful for me.

I might get sick before filming, or some cold sore on my lip pops up.

The first day is always the most important.

All people are new, I don't want to lose my face.

- This year you received your second nomination for the Golden Eagle award ...

- God loves trinity!

I think so ...

- How much do awards and recognition from the professional community mean to you?

- When I was first nominated for the Golden Eagle, and he was not given, I cried.

There was such a childish resentment.

Apparently, at that moment I was still struggling with some complexes.

But then they did not give it, and now it is not necessary!

I will no longer experience the emotions that I could have experienced from my first time.

It doesn't make any sense to me now, unfortunately.

The statuette will simply stand and gather dust, or I will give it to my parents, they will be pleased.

- Do you think these emotions will not return the moment your name is called from the stage?

- I do not know.

But, I remember, someone told how Natasha Meshchaninova, at one of the Golden Eagles, made a speech that the prize should be given to young people as an advance.

It inspires.

I think this is correct!

It would have inspired me a year ago.

And now I didn't feel any emotions.

I didn’t watch the ceremony.

- Does this apply to all awards?

- I will not dissemble.

No, when it comes to the Berlin Festival and Cannes.

And here I went, looked, understood how everything works ... Let's continue, show me something else!
