Evgeni Plushenko


Thank you!! Even if I can't understand anything they say, I couldn't watch without audio. The tour of his house in St. Petersburg was a nice surprise. I think I prefer that home to the one in Moscow, as it seems much cozier. But does Yana have something against color or what?

I really hope someone will eventually translate the episode, especially the part where he talked about Yuzuru's accident.

I read somewhere that Yana decorated everything white because it reminds her of ice which (unsurprisingly) she associates with Plushy.

My only issue would be how to keep it clean! They must have good cleaners over there in Russia because I'd never have a party with so much white furniture around, what if someone spilled their drink all over? :laugh:

And I hope someone translates it soon, times like this I wish I'd continued taking Japanese at school...
 
In a Japanese Documentary, they said at Sochi Plushy completed a rotation in his quad in about 0.223 second. :eek: superman isn't he? I bet he was faster when he was young.

I also prefer their house in St. Peterburg. But I hate that everything is white. Plus they have another flat in St. Petersburg where everything is white too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EnLaEykCW4 so for me those are expensive but too cold and boring.
Probably this house was built on the site of what Putin gave him in 2006. If I right remember, that is a little island or something like this we can see water from the house. Otherwise today is Yana's birthday.

Yana said she cleans the houses. :rofl: Maybe one-two rooms where they actually live.....

I have seen that documentary. You showed in another thread. This is surprise for me.. :think: I always thought Yuzuru's rotation is faster. He is very thin, he can rotate much faster.

^actually Yuzuru is faster. His speed was 0.215 second per rotation. At Sochi Yuzuru was faster than Plushy about 0.008 second. I made a mistake and I thought Plushy was faster but it was the other way around.
But still... Just 0.008 second in difference! And Plushy is 31 already! He's truly the king!

That's OK! My thought was right. :) But 0.008 sec isn't too big difference..



Because this is Yana's birthday and she has a big influence on Plushy I show an interview with her.
http://www.woman.ru/stars/life/article/144397/ with great pictures

Yana Rudkovskaya for Woman.ru: «I do not pay attention to the envious and not trying to please everybody"


She is one of those who gave us the first decade of the new century. Yana Rudkovskaya first learned as a spouse of a businessman Viktor Baturin, then as a producer of Dima Bilan. Then there was a loud divorce, scandal because of the children, the wedding with Evgeni Plushenko. But this is only part of life tabloid famous producer. Behind the scenes Rudkovskaja developed several business projects, for example, invented and launched a fashion brand. Parallel to the work of managers and Bilan, Plushenko. In 2013, she became a mother again - born the son of Jana and Eugene Alexander. But the quiet family evenings businesswoman continue to procrastinate. December 5 in the capital held a grand premiere ice show Evgeni Plushenko "Snow King". And this is a new vertex for the iron lady of Russian show business. About fanatical devotion and hard work of the women's share of Jan Rudkovskaja frankly told Woman.ru.

Woman.ru: Ian, if you look at the list of activities that you visit and add to this project, which you do, how much of your day starts and when it ends?

Yana Rudkovskaja: I wake up around 8 am, and I go at 2am. Differently now does not work. Between the big solo concert of Dima Bilan and Evgeni Plushenko show I had only a week.
Schedule stressful for several months to work seven days a week. It's hard for a woman, especially when she has three children. But the family is part of my position. If possible, I always try to bring the younger son Sasha. He's almost 2 years old and he misses more than others. With older sons Andrew and Nicky easier, they often travel with us (sons Andrew and Nicholas - children from his first marriage with Yana Rudkovskoj businessman Viktor Baturin - approx. Woman. Ru).

I feel a moral fatigue of so many people around, talk, technical meetings - is a state of congestion. But it's nice, because I can see the result and the interest of the audience. It's worth it.

Woman.ru: You have time to even have breakfast with your family?

Y. R .: None. Drink kefir and run out of the house. We live out of town, the road takes a lot of time. Today, like left on time, but still linger. Now I stand in a traffic jam and a half hours.

Woman.ru: As a spouse you assigned professional duties?

Y. R .: We make common cause: the show "Snow King". I support it as a general producer, and Jack - choreographer, inspirer and protagonist. We live in this project, it is for us like another child.

Dima Bilan appeared even jealousy. He thinks that I spend "Snow King" too much time. Of course, this is not true. I told him that Dima Bilan - this is a very serious brand. Evgeni Plushenko - too. But in the new show, he does not appear as Olympic champion and a hero "Snow King". These are different things.

We came up with essentially new format. It's a fairy tale, a family show. To us this has not been done. We combine many different technologies: 3 D -effect, feature film, the magic of Brothers Safronov. To present "Snow King", we had to install next to the concert hall additional substation, because we are afraid that will not be enough power and Luzhniki Ice Palace in St. Petersburg, where Jack will perform in January. I want this show was a breakthrough because it has great potential. And now I'm working on the verge of possibilities, because I realize what a huge responsibility rests with me.

Woman.ru: Your loved ones realize how much work you have undertaken?

J. R .: This is great work and all, of course, realize how serious.
I recently middle son said, "Mom, maybe you do not have to earn so much money? Maybe it's better to stay at home? ". To which I replied, "You know, not all the money is measured, there is an idea to give people a story that we do."

I am very pleased that at the "Snow King" will come from children's homes. Director institutions have repeatedly called me and said that the students get to live the dream show.

Woman.ru: After an injury at the Olympics how difficult Eugene were given training?

J. R .: Now Zhenya not be difficult to skiing (February 3, 2014 at the Olympic Games in Sochi Evgeni Plushenko had to participate in an individual tournament in singles skating, but withdrew from the competition in the short program for a few minutes before the performance in relation to the back injury and subsequent surgery on the spine - approx. Woman.ru).

There were problems when Jack was preparing for the Olympics and began training contrary to the opinion of experts. Then they argued that a design that supports his spine, you can not jump until September. And he began to perform complex figures in June. It was a great risk to health. At any time, the design could break, and it warned about this.

But in front of him was the goal - to win at the Olympics. He went to her. Now Jack is engaged in the normal mode, rather than two or three training sessions a day as before. Let's see that in the end it will show, because there will be many special effects, but its magical skating and the famous jumping will not leave indifferent spectators.

Woman.ru: When you have time to meet with Eugene?

J. R .: evening. I'm coming home in 11 hours, and then we communicate. When people burn one idea, they do not notice the time.

Woman.ru: Are you thinking about what kind of example did your children?

J. R .: My children sometimes hesitate to ask any gift, because he did not want me to long run and look for it. They know very well how to make money. They understand that Zhenya rides for the country, winning Olympic medals.

When we decorated the house Zhenya's office, then gathered there most of his awards. And children, when they saw we were very surprised, they asked: "Is that all Zhenya's? Is one person can collect as many medals? "And Zhenya 162 gold, 18 silver and 4 bronze. Children have before my eyes the example of courage and heroism in sports, as well as an example of courage and fanaticism in their work.

They can not take away these traits. The sons also workaholics. My children have already chosen their path and do not waste time in vain.

Woman.ru: What gives you the job?

J. R .: I have not proved everything to everyone. Our country is constantly stimulates human. In Japan, if you are an Olympic champion, you till the end of life at the hands of wear. In Russia, you can at least every year to prove that you're the best, and will still be people who will say that it is undeserved. We stopped to appreciate the heroes, the people who actually do business, implementing projects, which can be proud of Russia.

Our country will be proud of the show. This is a tremendous work done by so many people, from graphic designers, choreographers and musicians ending, which are specially created unique dance and music for the show. I am proud of my team. We have skaters who came from other countries: Poland, Canada, Czech Republic, England, America, France. And these people love Russia, they want to grow professionally here and work, and they are not afraid of any sanctions. They are not shy to say that participating in the show great Plushenko. It gives me moral satisfaction. And I have a great desire to prove that in our country there are unique designs that will compete at the global level, this is why we have been invited to speak on many countries.

Woman.ru: Do you think in the future you will not regret that so much time devoted to the work?

J. R .: Do not think that I do not spend time with their families. We all have a rest, and during my family with me sometimes.

I want my children to be proud of me, that is already happening now. I believe that it makes no sense to stay at home and keep the children for life by the handle, and then suddenly see that your child has withdrawn and has been some terrible things. It seems to me, is more important to be an example of hard work and ambition. My almost 2-year-old son Sasha already plays football every day, to skateboard, and it does so at the level of 5-6 year old children.

Methods of education depend on further goals. If you want the child to become an outstanding athlete, then you need to do the impossible, as his dad at one time. Evgeni Plushenko was the first man who made Biellmann. He was the first and so far the only one who made a quadruple toe loop combination -troynoy toe and triple loop. On the following sequence is not able to nobody else. My youngest son goes to training regardless of the weather and conditions. He must from an early age to get used to the fact that in sport there are no concessions. We want to turn it into a champion. And we will.

Woman.ru: You have many enemies?

J. R .: envious not only idlers and drunks. Everyone who works in some degree familiar with the problem of negativity. Although I have long anyway.
I do not pay attention to the envious and not trying to please everybody. I was primarily interested in the views of children, husband, friends.

With regard to the general public, it is an indicator of interest audience: the total number of subscribers I have 900,000 on Twitter and 500,000 in Instagram, and this despite the fact that I do not quite an active user. Let's call a spade a spade: I'm not an actress, not a singer, not the model, not the TV presenter. Not the kind of person that art makes people interested. I'm just a producer and manager. But it turns out that I call the interest of their projects work. So I'm going the right way, but for me it's important.

thanks for the interview with Yana. I especially love this part

I agree, it's great to show hard work and ambition, especially to your children. I wish I could see snow king but I've watched the videos on youtube. Great that the first show in St Petersburg has been sold out with 8000.

It seems the second show was even better with 16,000 -
Наши минифильмы посмотрело сегодня 16000 человек. #снежныйкороль #TheSnowKingbyPlushenko #mag_film_Moscow #magfilm #магфильм

I've always liked Plushenko when I use to watch figure skating more often, he was my favourite male and loved watching his rivalry with Yagudin. While Slutskaya was my favorite female.

Finally watched the show with Miyu--and I'm late as always. The part where Plushy is watching Miyu and Sara perform looks like something out of the "Coaches' Reaction" thread. And Johnny was, as usual, a show-stealer.

Hopefully the program will be good early promotion for Snow King in Japan too. :) There's one point where Plushy is listing a bunch of Japanese skaters--Mao, Dai, Yuzuru, Takeshi Honda... are those people he wishes to include in the show when it goes to Japan, or have I totally failed to follow the conversation...?

The tour of his house in St. Petersburg was a nice surprise. I think I prefer that home to the one in Moscow, as it seems much cozier. But does Yana have something against color or what?
I was surprised to see his father make an appearance as well! I prefer the decor of the St. Petersburg house, but the Moscow one did seem to have bigger rooms. Regarding the white... maybe to make the house look brighter, since there's a lot of wood? :think: But including other light colours would be better.
 
Cekoni-the fan boss-is in St: Petersburg, she travelled to see the Snow King show. Her videos from the practice. Plushenko practice jumps (3A!) and his risky "8th turns jump" 5m above the ice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeBzQfBBXb4 folks, :) perfect jumps! unbeliveable! :dance:

Yes, from what I understood from the Russian blog, he wants Mao, Dai, and Takeshi in the show. I thought Dai said he wants to take a year off from skating after he finishes the shows he had already committed to doing this winter...but who knows when the Snow King will actually get to Japan. Dai would make a very cute Kai. :biggrin: I think he only mentioned Yuzuru in the context of talking about the CoC crash, but I'm not sure.

I think it's ok to have a couple white rooms, but two whole houses and an apartment that are all white? Definitely not my taste, but whatever makes them happy, I guess.

It'll be cool to see Snow King with different performers! (Though I must say, Johnny and Irina are just perfect). I imagine Yuzuru as Kai more than Dai as Kai (maybe the Johnny connection? :laugh:), but I guess it'll be difficult to integrate non-retired skaters since they have competitions for half the year.
 
I don't know how I feel about changing skaters... I mean, I'm sure there are many skaters who would be lovely in the roles, but I don't really want to lose the ones we have now... And I'm not even a Johnny fan! But I think he is great in this. So you can all imagine how I'd feel about replacing Brian...

If the show ever makes it to the US, I would definitely prefer to see all of the original cast. Surely Johnny would participate in the US version, but I'd be very disappointed if they replaced Tomas and Brian with other US men. I mean, who could they get that isn't still competing? Evan? :shocked: Ryan Bradley? No thanks...
 
No one knows when and where will be the shows. The skaters have signed contracts often months in advance, so surely will be necessary replacement.

It's probably inevitable that the cast will change as they travel around the world with the show. However, I would like to see the same cast in place throughout the whole tour. I don't think that kind of thing happens much anymore. Plus, I don't think that either Brian or Tomas had done an ice show in the U.S., which would be pretty cool.
