"Hero" is a touching story of the love of the young Principles of Faith Chernysheva (Svetlana Ivanova) and Lieutenant Andrei Dolmatova (Dima Bilan). Their feelings will have a lot of tests: the First World War, long separation, endless riots. But true love, as you know, wins everything.
In an interview with PopcornNews, Dima Bilan spoke about his hero, difficulties on the set and interrelation of music and movies.
- Dima, what inspired you on shooting in big cinema?
- I wanted to change something in life. Install a new course, gain a new meaning, to be in the risk. Feel life in a new way and in its complete taste. And it happened. Even more than I expected.
- What did the historic genre attracted you?
- I met a direct director and producer many times, we talked for a long time, about six months. I really liked these people, I liked this story. In addition, somewhere in the subconscious, I sat the story of my own family: my great-grandfather served in Nicholas II. This is our family pride. But I fully realized this already on the set, on the second or third day. But I finally understood what I did everything right.
Perhaps if I were offered some other genre, I would also agree. But I knew from the very beginning that if I want to get in touch with this world, you should not begin with a comedy and not from the image of Dima Bilan, jumping in a T-shirt on stage.
- Can you easily get born in the image?
- About the final result, not to judge me. But on the set I was entirely in time and in the mood. A little more, and I would believe that I am he [Andrei Dolmatov - approx. Ed.]. I remember somehow after filming the next scene I went out into the street. People sit there, drink tea, dinner ... one could let go of your inner sensation for a break, but I could not. And here I am the whole sweeble, with a plate, a change in some kind of cutlet. They are trying to speak with me, and I bite, because I have a scenario. And so I walked for several days. This experience was very interesting to me.
- What was the most difficult on set?
- After two weeks filming was a very difficult period. All this similarity and the same day ... The normalized schedule is contraindicated to me. I got used to an unpredictable lifestyle. And it was difficult to rebuilt. Well, of course, not very comfortable weather conditions. But I coped with all this. The setting of the set for me is not Nova. I know that such a camera, how to contact them, how to look at them. But I wanted to be on one wave with professionals, in anything they could not be given. Therefore, I often came to shoot early and was always demanding of myself.
- Have you managed to miss music during the shooting time?
- And I did not leave music. I even wrote in my free time. On the weekend he sat down and recorded something. And he listened to a lot during filming. Pretty hard music. When they shot in Vilnius, I just heard the Muse group, their song Supremacy. My role completely coincided with the text, and I was in complete delight. Then I even gave this song to Alexander Bon on the "voice" - so much of it trembled. I realized that in her a lot hidden. So everything went into the case, as you can see. Everything is interconnected.
