One of the participants in the "New Star Factory" was the 22-year-old daughter of Viktor Saltykov, Anna Moon. The girl, who lived in London for a long time and studied at a prestigious British university, decided to try her hand at a TV project. Anna chose to use a pseudonym, hiding her relationship with a famous performer. StarHit found out from the aspiring performer why she sent an application for casting and how relatives relate to her activities.

- Anya, why did you decide to go to the New Star Factory project?

- I got to the casting quite by accident. A friend who saw my music video wrote to me and asked: “Listen, the casting of the New Star Factory is taking place on MUZ-TV, would you like to go?” Then I just flew home from England and did not know what I would do next. I thought: “Well, then this is a sign of fate, I’ll go and try myself, why not.” And she went. And passed. To be honest, I didn't expect. Went there in complete relaxation. You know, people dream, dream, prepare, and I walked without thinking much about this ... Somewhere on a subconscious level, I had an inner confidence that I would get there, although I was not very worried about the results of the casting. Although I am very glad that in the end I ended up here ... I went with a clear goal that I was not just going to sing a duet with the stars, but to show my creativity.

What did you feel during the casting?

- I was worried only at the moment when I was already inside and went on stage. Before the first note, something changes inside me all the time, and I cannot calm myself, but then everything returns to normal. I didn’t worry anymore, although the atmosphere was, of course, conducive to this: everyone was worried, discussing what song to sing ... Then I immediately met some guys who ended up with me on the project. We met with Elman and Martha in the corridor, and with Guzel too. She was very worried. I tried to calm her down: “Why are you soaring? Do not worry". It's the only thing I ever said to her. I continue to communicate with the guys, we managed to make friends thanks to rehearsals and gatherings that were held even before the first reporting concert ... By the way, Vova was also with me at the casting. As soon as I saw him, I thought: "He will pass anyway." He was so funny, I didn’t even hear him sing, but his image and character… It seemed to me that he was very interesting, charismatic.

- Aren't you afraid to live under the guns of cameras when the whole country is watching you?

- As a child, I was a fan of the Star Factory, I watched all the issues. Of course, I wanted to try myself in the project! According to my calculations, I was supposed to become a participant in the seventeenth season, but, unfortunately, the program was closed. After we launched the New Star Factory, I can say that my dream has come true. In fact, when you watch a TV show, you don't think it's that difficult. You think: “Well, what, they were settled in the house, they are fed, watered there, everything is fine.” In fact, it's really very difficult - morally and psychologically, because you live with strangers and you are not given time to relax.

What did you feel during the casting? I was worried only at the moment when I was already inside and went on stage. Before the first note, something changes inside me all the time, and I cannot calm myself, but then everything returns to normal. I didn’t worry anymore, although the atmosphere was, of course, conducive to this: everyone was worried, discussing what song to sing ...

Anna Moon with other emerging artists
Are you constantly doing something? I don’t even have time to sleep for a couple of hours and “sit” on the phone - everything was taken away. We have different activities all the time. We wake up and immediately go to fitness. When this occurs, thoughts like: “God, am I here? Why? And why am I exercising at 9 o'clock in the morning? After intense physical activity we have a short break for breakfast, and then we have rehearsals, master classes, vocal lessons... Actually, it's all very interesting, but hard. It happens that you want to go home and think: “God, how I want to lie on the bed and do nothing.” -
Do you easily get along with other people? Yes, I lived in a hostel when I studied in London. Therefore, I have already got used to it, but there are guys who find it very difficult due to, for example, age. Girls who are 14-17 years old cry and worry. -
What difficulties did you face in a star house? It seems that you live in a photo studio. For me, the light is the worst thing, because it is everywhere from 9 am to 11 pm, even in the bathroom and bedroom. Of course, at first such moments are very stressful, but over time you get used to it ... In general, the standard of living in the house is, of course, amazing, they cook food for us, and the girls even get manicures. In addition to us, there are 40 more people there - operators and those who are watching us.-
Do you have any rules? They are informed by a voice from outside. For example, the other day the girls and I had a brilliant idea: “Why are we going to talk? Let's write to each other. You won't see anything anyway." But we were told: “Girls, you are breaking the rules. You can be expelled for this." In general, everything is strict. But very interesting.-
Do you write music and lyrics yourself? Yes... Thanks to the project, I met those who like the same thing as me. It is very difficult for me to find like-minded people, because I have a specific taste - such, you know, intricate, “alternative”. I can't call myself a big fan of pop music. Therefore, for me, by the way, it was a problem to sing in a duet with Anna Sedokova. Just because it's not mine at all. I remember how Viktor Drobysh told me then: “Well, they don’t change you. You can also contribute a part of yourself. And you develop more outside your comfort zone.” After the concert, I realized that I agree with him. -
Does Victor Drobysh somehow help the guys? He very competently selects songs for all the participants, which, in principle, suit them more or less in style. For example, I did not sing with the Fabrika group, and as for Anna Sedokova, in this case there was a pleasant lyrical composition ... I even looked at her from the other side. In fact, I really liked Anna. She was very friendly with me and even, as I was told, posted something from that concert on Instagram. -
How did your passion for music start? It is clear that you are from a creative family, but not everyone follows in the footsteps of their parents. I have been fond of music since childhood. We can say that she surrounded me everywhere, and it was in my blood ... She began to sing when they brought me to some theater studio. I didn’t really want to study there, but in the end everything somehow dragged on. But then, when it came time to choose a university, I suddenly decided to study fashion in England. -
However, you still decided to return to music again ... I studied there for a year and devoted time to my hobby. There was a moment when I completely immersed myself in the world of fashion, which seemed so ephemeral, interesting to me ... But I didn’t have enough time to just pick up a guitar. It was only then that I realized how much I miss what I used to do. In the end, I decided that life is one, and I'd rather follow in the footsteps of my parents by enrolling in another university. My father was very supportive in this. He did not understand my passion for fashion at all and was skeptical about it, but preferred not to go against his daughter. -
Have you regretted it? No, when I started studying at a music university, I was constantly among musicians, it inspires me. You start thinking about what an artist is... I think I'm only at the beginning of my journey. It is interesting for me to bend my own line and not to perform other people's songs. I would like to create my own little world and make it cool. -
Since dad found out that you were cast, did he give you any advice? He didn't know that I was going to the casting, because I didn't take it so seriously. Then, when I passed, I called and told about everything. Dad was very happy, even, it seems, more than me ... Before the start of the project, I had a couple of days of corrals about the fact that I would be “locked up” in some kind of framework. Then I even thought about giving up. But dad said: “No, you have to go, because this is not a program where you just sing, like in a billion other programs, but this is a project where you “cook” in this whole industry. And when you are not the only one, but there are 16 of you.” He was not mistaken ... I thought that I was the only one like that, and no one would understand me, but in fact there were a lot of such people on the project, and it's nice. Anna Moon and Viktor Saltykov

Was it easy for you to return to Moscow? Actually, no. When I moved to London, I was sure that I was leaving for the rest of my life. For some reason, I have never been comfortable in the Russian musical and creative environment. It seemed to me that it was cooler there, it was such a childish view of the world. You see a beautiful picture, you say: “But I want like this, not like this” ... I did not return because something didn’t work out for me. I decided, on the contrary, to achieve something here, and then abroad. -
And how long did you spend in England? Four years. When I arrived there, it was very easy for me to adapt, because I dreamed of this dream for two years. My parents were against the move. But I, of course, persuaded my mother to pay me for a tutor, but my father strongly objected. Therefore, we did not initiate him at all, and then, when I had already entered, I put him before the fact. Since he is a very kind person, loyal, he did not interfere. -
In what subject did you have a tutor? In English, you had to pass a serious exam. When I moved there, I lived for the first two and a half years in complete euphoria, I generally liked everything. Every day was like a movie for me. And then, in the last year, it grew very much, it seems to me, inside. I began to look at things differently and realized that I didn’t create anything myself, didn’t do anything. And when I started doing creative work, I had a great desire to do something for people who speak Russian and share my views on the world. who have the same mentality as me. By the way, I had a video channel on YouTube, which was watched by a Russian-speaking audience. -
Are you not doing it anymore? No, but I really want to do it again, because I miss the channel. I deleted it, believing it was not serious. I ran it for a year, and I had an audience of 10-15 thousand subscribers. I had videos and musical orientation, and just about life. -
How did you come up with an unusual pseudonym? I did not want to hide my last name, although for the casting, this was probably also a factor in order to evaluate me objectively. I initially wanted to have some kind of pseudonym so that I could have a brand that I could develop. I had a dream, as if my friend was saying: "And you name yourself like a star." I woke up, it was at night, I looked at the moon. The idea I drew a parallel and wrote my name, Anna, in English. I liked the symmetry, because two "n" and two "o". And in Russian I like it when Anya Moon is written. -
Are you comfortable with that name? I'm just not the most confident person. Sometimes. And I was still scared at first, but when everyone started calling me Anya Moon here, at the Factory, I somehow got bored, that's all. From that moment on, a new life began for me. I think everything is going right. On this topic

At the same time, many thought that Moon was flirting with Nikita for the sake of ratings. However, Nikita and Anya denied that there was anything between them.

Last Saturday, October 14, the sixth reporting concert of the New Star Factory was held on the MUZ-TV channel. Details of the event - in the material site

As always, Ksenia Sobchak acted as the host. But the composition of the jury has changed: together with the vocal teacher Vladimir Korobka, the founder of the ballet "Todes" Alla Dukhova and music producer Viktor Drobysh, the Norwegian singer and winner of Eurovision 2009 Alexander Rybak came to evaluate young talents.

The group "A'Studio" and the manufacturer Andrey Beletsky opened the report book with the song "I'm Flying Away". Keti Topuria chose a white and blue outfit for the performance, about which Ksenia Sobchak spoke very ambiguously. “You literally want to put your hands in this dress,” the TV presenter joked.

The atmosphere on the site suddenly changed when Sobchak announced that rapper Guf would not come to the next number and Nikita Kuznetsov, a member of the New Star Factory, could be left without a performance. Fabrikant tried to hide his excitement, and Sobchak invited Topuria to stay on stage and support Nikita. Keti, who agreed, had to learn to rap - the artist and the manufacturer sang the song "Bye" in a duet. Nikita Kuznetsov was not at a loss and fully revealed himself in the room, despite the fact that he literally changed partners on stage. According to Sobchak, it was more difficult for the singer than for the manufacturer, but Keti did an excellent job.

The concert was continued by Emma M and Lolita Voloshina with the rock composition "Rockets". The girls not only "melted", but also looked similar with a daring short haircut. Emma gave parting words to the manufacturer, wishing Lolita not to lose her originality and always be herself. Voloshina was sincerely glad that she managed to perform with the star almost on an equal footing.

The girls on the stage were replaced by the violinist Alexander Rybak and the participant of the "New Star Factory" Xena with the touching composition "Cat". The aspiring singer performed in a "cat" suit with ears, a short skirt and black leggings. Accompanied by the number of ballet soloist Alla Dukhova "Todes", who danced around a huge violin. Rybak noted that Xena approached the number with humor and it was in her performance that the song sounded the way it should.

The concert was continued by Kan and Daniil Ruvinsky, who tried on the image of a young man of the 80s, with the song "Angel" - the number resembled a live broadcast from a fitness club. Kan noted that Daniil coped with the number and everything turned out great for the manufacturer. Danya himself joked about his image, saying that he looks like a fan of the most popular pop group of the 80s “Modern Talking”.

Danya Danilevsky, the curliest member of the New Star Factory, sang the lyric song Romance on the same stage with the Pizza group. Charming Danilevsky's hair peeking out from under a hooligan cap, and the ballet "Todes" depicted either metro passengers or passers-by under umbrellas on the street.

Then Zhenya Trofimov sang the song “High-rise buildings” together with “5sta Family”, and Elman Zeynalov and Natan set the hall on fire with the composition “Hypnotise” - however, at the beginning of the performance, it was not men who hypnotized the audience, but half-naked dancers. Zeynalov's fans pleasantly surprised him with a poster "Elman, we are proud of you", and the jury members noted that after the performance, the manufacturer really has something to be proud of.

Valery Meladze and Ulyana Sinetskaya performed "There is no more attraction." After the number, Ksenia Sobchak asked Valery to honestly evaluate the manufacturer, noting that "Meladze slept with all the beautiful girls of the national stage." The artist did not succumb to the provocation and praised Ulyana. The participant herself admitted that she does not dream of the VIA Gra group, but of cooperation with the mentor of the New Star Factory Viktor Drobysh.

Nominee Guzel Khasanova looked almost unrecognizable in the form of a long-haired beauty, performing the song "Find Me", the words of which were written by her brother. The number turned out to be very personal for Khasanova in every sense of the word. TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak thanked the contestant's brother for the song, finally touching Khasanova, and producer Viktor Drobysh gave his ward a standing ovation.

Then Anya Moon took the stage: the nominee performed directly on a huge telephone receiver with the song "Imitation of Vibrations". After the performance, Anya said that she did not hope for support from the audience, but she was waiting for saving "stars" from other manufacturers in the voting after the concert.

Rada Boguslavskaya, the third nominee, performed a composition of her own composition called "Crystals". On stage, the participant was literally carried in her arms, and at the end of the performance, the girl practically undressed and remained on stage in one light silk peignoir. The audience immediately noticed the inscriptions on the body of Rada. The girl admitted that she asked all the participants of the New Star Factory and the Todes ballet to sign for herself. “Every person leaves a mark on our soul,” the manufacturer emphasized.

After the performance of the nominees, the concert turned into a dramatic confrontation. The distribution of votes began, in which the audience saved Ulyana Sinetskaya, and the manufacturers decided to leave Guzel Khasanova on the project. It was not without another provocation: Ksenia Sobchak suggested that Guzeli give up her “stars” so that Anya Moon would stay and thanked all the spectators and manufacturers from the stage for their support. Both participants of the "New Star Factory" showed nobility, but only one of them - Guzel Khasanova - remained on the project and will delight viewers on the MUZ-TV channel.
