“It doesn’t depend on whether they are novice artists or established ones, it depends on a particular person,” says Alexander Dobrovinsky.
I may not like the client. Or the case that he proposes is not interesting. Then I won’t work with him either. Artists are the same people. What’s the difference between an artist and a non-artist?
Iosif Prigozhin: “They are ready to throw their producers, they are led to flattery and flattery”
And here is the producer Joseph Prigogine hurt. He has been in show business for many years and has seen how people can behave when they get their first taste of fame. To put it in thieves’ language, those suffering from star disease do not see the shores and do not remember that they were once completely different people.
“I cannot but agree with Mr. Rogov. The thing is that the guys who become stars do not always understand that popularity and stardom are things that come, – explains Iosif Prigogine. – I myself have come across moments when an artist who has become rich and famous has to be reacquainted.
We don’t mind when the same singers study and become stars. We are only for. But a lot of my colleagues suffered from those people who say: “Yes, we are not good with the producers.” What does it mean?
The producer at the most difficult time cleans up the products of his life following the artist … The singer, at a time when he is not yet a star, is ready to do anything: eat the earth, dance, dance, he jumps around you, if only you invested money in him.
And when he becomes a star, he says: “But this is obvious. If I wasn’t talented, I wouldn’t have been chosen.”
– Now you are not dealing with budding talents?
– People often ask me: “Why don’t you work with young people?” But I don’t want to kiss their asses. Artists are offended when I say: “Wherever you kiss, everywhere you ass.”
I have been in show business for 30 years and I am ready to promote any star – quickly and instantly, but when an artist becomes famous, I repeat, I have to get to know him once more. They are ready to throw their producers, are led to flattery, to flattering.
It’s like a wife – a prostitute who is ready to cheat on you any day. Here the question of fidelity is already important, how much a person is faithful to you. Look how many artists I’ve worked with and where they are all today…
More than half of them are in the ass. But those with whom I did not want to work, and who were offended by me, I do not regret them either. They seem to have succeeded without my participation, but oh well. They don’t owe me anything, and I don’t owe them anything.
Of course, not everyone is like I said. For example, Igor Matvienko was lucky because he has Ivanushki and the Lyube group.
I was lucky with the singer Valeria. She turned out to be not only a decent artist, but also a decent wife, a person of rare qualities. But I don’t know how our relationship would have developed if we hadn’t been husband and wife, because many aspiring artists who once disappeared in my studio are on top today. And I don’t even always get to ask them for concert tickets. That is, they are so busy that sometimes they don’t even pick up the phone. That’s the way people are.
