How old is the "field of miracles", who are its leaders and where is the famous museum. The most interesting facts about the "Field of Miracles" Transfer field of miracles history

In the early nineties, viewers, not yet spoiled by the variety of television programs, from young to old, sat at the screens on Friday evenings to watch a program in which the most ordinary people from Russian cities and villages competed in quick wits and erudition, rotating the drum, guessing the hidden word by letter and taking home the joy of winning or the bitterness of defeat. How old is the "Field of Miracles", a program that has collected more than one generation from TVs? And could its creators have imagined that it would stay on the air for so long and continue to be at the top of the ratings even after the appearance of new, more popular TV shows?

Creation of a TV game

So how old is Field of Miracles, a program familiar to us from childhood? For the first time, this TV show was released on screens in 1990, or rather, on October 26. It is on this day, on Friday, at 20.00, that one of the longest and most popular TV games begins. The young, talented and ambitious Vladislav Listyev, together with Anatoly Lysenko, the then head of the youth editorial office of Central Television, revised and adapted the script for the American game Wheel of Fortune, invented and implemented by Merv Griffin. One of the major differences was that Wheel of Fortune had multiple hosts while Field of Miracles only had one. It was Listyev himself. Having conceived and realized the "Field of Miracles", he enthusiastically hosted the first issue himself. And this enthusiasm lasted for a year. Despite the fact that the popularity of the show was very high and the interest of the audience only grew over time, Listyev wanted to expand his horizons. Therefore, he went to implement new projects, handing over the reins of government to Leonid Yakubovich.

The essence of the game is quite simple: there are three triples of players playing in turn, then the winners from each triple play among themselves, and then a super game follows, from which the finalist has the right to refuse and take prizes or play it and get another super prize. Each of the players spins the already famous black-and-white drum and, depending on the value that has fallen, either guesses the letter, or the move moves on. There are, of course, a lot of exceptions - this is the "Prize" sector, and the "Zero" sector, and "Bankrupt", and two boxes for three correctly guessed letters ... But the main essence of the game is to guess the word before your rivals. In the process, the players show themselves as best they can - send greetings to relatives, perform dance or circus numbers, sing, recite poems and, of course, give gifts to the presenter. Gifts from players are one of the main traditions of the game. Souvenirs can be anything, but it is desirable that they have the flavor of the area where the guest came from, or that they be made or prepared by oneself. All gifts are sent to the capital show museum.

First presenter - Vlad Listyev

The creator of the TV game also became its first presenter. Vladislav Listyev was born in Moscow in 1956. He was a talented journalist, presenter, entrepreneur with business acumen. He was one of those who stood at the origins of the creation of the VID television company, the emblem of which, appearing on the screen, often frightened the kids. Listyev remained leading his offspring for a very short time, from 1990 to 1991. At that time, he was already known for the socio-political program "Vzglyad", and after the "Field of Miracles" he went to conquer new heights. He created such programs as "Theme" and "Rush Hour", he was successful, popular and loved by the audience. He was often invited to KVN as a member of the jury. Then came the peak of his career at the VID television company - he became its president. And again he decided to go further, in 1995 he was appointed to the post of general director of the ORT channel. And just a month after the appointment, on March 1, 1995, a tragedy occurred - Vladislav Listyev was killed.

The second and permanent host - Leonid Yakubovich

Almost how many years the “Field of Miracles” has been led by the resilient Leonid Arkadyevich Yakubovich. He became the host of the capital show after Leaves left him. According to the presenter himself, he was very worried when he came to the casting in the "Field of Miracles". He spent the first issue very nervous and was sure that he would not be accepted. However, they took it, and it was he who led the program to success and popular love. And some of Yakubovich’s phrases have become catchy at all, for example, “And now the commercial break!” Leonid Arkadyevich is happily married and has a daughter, Varvara. And the favorite brainchild - the program "Field of Miracles" - has been pleasing the audience for 25 years. Yes, in 2015 the TV game had an anniversary - a quarter of a century on the screens!

In the archives of the game you can find a lot of interesting and unusual moments. For example, not all filming was studio. Here is the hundredth, anniversary edition of the show was held at the circus arena on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. And one of the Christmas editions is in Spain. There was also a superfinal on board an ocean liner. And the participants were not always ordinary. They made games with celebrities, with puppets in place of the players, there was a program with four presenters and even an episode stylized as Africa - all the spectators in the hall were Africans.

Museum Capital Show "Field of Miracles"

How old is the Field of Miracles, how old is the museum. The museum was not originally planned as part of the show, but people brought and brought gifts to the presenter ... Then they organized an exhibition of these gifts in the hall of the TV studio, but during the existence of the TV game, their number has grown incredibly. After all, from what year is the “Field of Miracles” coming? Since 1990! For so many years, a whole mountain of presents has accumulated there. As a result, in 2002 it was decided to create a permanent exhibition of the museum at the All-Russian Exhibition Center. There is now a museum "Fields of Wonders".

The arrow was patterned and did not blink, the bulbs on the sides did not burn. The black ones had red lights, the white ones had blue lights. The inner radius of the drum was slightly raised above its surface, since the inner radius also had light bulbs. The drum rotated smoothly and for a long time, like its previous prototype.

The presenter also has assistants, for example, girls who open the letters on the scoreboard, whose names the viewers do not know.

Domestic version of the American program "Wheel of Fortune"

For more than 20 years, the existence of the program "Field of Miracles" has turned into a popular program. And now it’s hard to imagine that this is just a domestic version of the American show Wheel of Fortune, that is, “Wheel of Fortune”. "Field of Miracles" was "born" in a hotel room. In the book "Vlad Listyev. Biased Requiem” describes that Vladislav Listyev and Anatoly Lysenko “created a capital show while watching an episode of the American program Wheel of Fortune in a hotel room.” The creators borrowed the name from the tale of Alexei Nikolaevich Tolstoy "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio."

The prototype of "Field of Miracles" - the American show "Wheel of Fortune" - first aired on January 6, 1975 at 10:30 am on NBC. In August 1980, the program was announced to be taken off the air. But later, the channel's management decided to leave the program on the air and cut David Letterman's show from 90 to 60 minutes for this show. Wheel of Fortune is one of the highest rated shows in American television history.

19 seasons

None of the current series has ever dreamed of such a creative "longevity"! But that's how many - 19 seasons - the "Field of Miracles" had in more than 20 years of history.

The studio changed 5 times

On October 25, 1990, the first release of the Field of Miracles television game with host Vlad Listyev took place in a dark blue studio with a drum of a simple, unpretentious shape, with external handles that look like hooks, and with arrows indicating sectors, a scoreboard with black letters. A year later, in 1991, the studio underwent its first change: the inscription “Field of Miracles” appeared on the wall, and the letters on the scoreboard turned blue. Two years later, in 1993, the drum shrank and acquired an arrow like a compass, as well as several vertical handles. The number of maximum points that a participant could score has increased to 750. Among other things, the music has changed. In this form, the studio lasted another two years. In 1995, when the screensavers and the logo of Channel One changed, the scenery of the “Field of Miracles” show also acquired a new look: the stairs along which the participants descended began to glow, televisions appeared on the steps, where a spinning drum was broadcast, the music changed again. In this form, the studio existed for 6 years until 2001, when the show "Field of Miracles" completely changed its image. Naturally, the studio could not help but change. It was improved, modernized, a new drum with a plasma screen was installed, on which the course of the arrow was broadcast. Finally, the last changes touched the studio 8 years ago, in 2005, when they changed the drum and music. Since then and until now, the design of the studio has not changed any more.

Leader changed only once

Despite 19 seasons and more than 20 years of history, the host of the Field of Miracles changed only once, and this happened exactly one year after the premiere of the program. Then Vlad Listyev passed the "baton" to Leonid Yakubovchiu, who since then, which means that for 22 years now, has been permanent.

Anniversaries quiz show celebrates in ... the circus

It has already become a good tradition. So, the 100th anniversary edition of the show "Field of Miracles" was filmed on September 29, 1992 at the Moscow Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. The holiday program aired on October 23. The quiz show also celebrated its 20th anniversary at the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Surprisingly, but true: the 20th anniversary of the "Field of Miracles" coincided with the 130th anniversary of the circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. Actually, that's why the management chose this place when choosing a place for celebrations.

"Field of Wonders" marked on the world map

On the account of the "Field of Miracles" there are several exit issues. The first one, which was about Spain, was filmed in Barcelona. It aired on December 25, 1992. The second "road" issue was April 23, 1993. It was filmed on the ship "Shota Rustaveli", which in March 1993 went on its first cruise in the Mediterranean. The third was the Kyiv issue. It was filmed in the capital of Ukraine. It aired on December 16, 1994. There was another purportedly African edition of Field of Miracles, which aired on March 31, 2000. The bottom line was that Leonid Yakubovich led him from Africa. In fact, the program was filmed in their own studio, they were simply rebuilt in an African manner, and ordinary RUDN students played the inhabitants of Africa.

Alla Pugacheva saw off Vladislav Listyev

The prima donna of the national stage participated in the "Field of Miracles" program twice. First appeared in the last issue, hosted by Vladislav Listyev. This program aired on October 25, 1991. Actually, on the birthday of the Field of Miracles. For the second time, Pugacheva took part in the festive edition of the Field of Miracles dedicated to International Women's Day.

Gifts made to Yakubovich by the participants of the show can not only be seen, but also touched

The museum of the capital show "Semi Miracles", which is constantly mentioned on the air and where Leonid Yakubovich sends all the gifts brought to him, really exists. It is located in the Central Pavilion of the All-Russian Exhibition Center and has been operating for 12 years.

Artistic director and host of the program - Leonid Yakubovich.

Story

The history of the "Field of Miracles" program began when Vladislav Listyev and Anatoly Lysenko rested in an ordinary hotel. The idea of ​​creating the program was born while watching the American TV show Wheel of Fortune. Vladislav Listyev took the name for the program from A. N. Tolstoy's fairy tale "The Golden Key," or "The Adventures" of Buratino.

The premiere of the program took place at the First program TsT USSR on October 25, 1990. The first host was Vladislav Listyev, then episodes with different hosts were shown, and finally, on November 22, 1991, a new main host appeared - Leonid   Yakubovich. Leonid Yakubovich's assistants are several female models, including the permanent assistant Rimma Agafoshina, who opens the guessed letters and gives prizes to the players' children since 1996. Later, Listyev appeared in several issues as a co-host of Yakubovich until his death.

From October 25 to December 27, 1990, the program aired on Thursdays at 20:00. From January 1 to May 28, 1991, it aired on Tuesdays at 21:45. Since June 7, 1991, it has been published weekly on Friday evenings. In the case of each holiday, the program goes on the air on the day preceding the holiday, as well as in cases where the working day is transferred to Saturday.

On October 23, 1992, the 100th issue of Field of Miracles was released, which was filmed on September 29 at. In this issue, the finalist lost his car due to a hint from the viewer, after which Leonid Yakubovich changed the task, and asked the violator to leave the hall. The finalist could not answer the question of the changed task, but the prizes won were left to the finalist ..

On November 3, 2010, an anniversary concert dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the appearance of the program was released. The concert took place at the Nikulin Moscow Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard (created jointly with the Red Square), but this time there was no game as such. In October 2015, Field of Miracles celebrated its 25th anniversary. Anniversary issue dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the program was released on October 30, 2015.

A simple arithmetic calculation suggests that about 12,000 people participated in the program over 25 years. In addition to the usual releases in the studio at the drum, people have repeatedly celebrated their professional holidays: Builder's Day, Doctor's Day, Miner's Day, Police Day, etc. New Year's programs, programs for March 8, as well as fun releases for April Fool's Day have become traditional. . The program is especially sensitive to the Victory Day on May 9th. Annual special issues are always distinguished by special solemnity and brilliance.

Drum

Above the drum, not far from Leonid Yakubovich, there is an arrow that indicates what the player has fallen.

Special sectors

• Prize (P)- the player can choose whether to continue the game or take the prize hidden in the black box. In the latter case, he leaves the game. The presenter bargains with the player for a prize, which can be any thing (from car keys, TV, player, a check for $10,000, vouchers and excursions to a pumpkin, onion, a bottle of vodka, a toy car, slippers). Also, instead of a black box, you can take a cash prize (the player chooses the amount himself). If the player refuses the prize, then it is considered that the player has a sector with 2000 points.
• Plus (+)- the player can open any letter according to the score (if this letter occurs several times, then all are opened). As a rule, the first letter is opened (if it is not already open).
• Chance (W)- the player can call on the phone (the number is given by a random viewer in the studio) to get an answer or a hint. If on the other end of the wire they answer correctly, then a prize is sent to him. If a player refuses this sector, it is considered that he has dropped a sector with 1500 points. Currently, the "Chance" sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a phone.
• Key- the player is given several keys, one of which is from the car. The player chooses one of these keys and tries to open the car door with it. If the key fits - the player takes the car, if not - continues to play. Moreover, this sector can be abandoned, and then the leader offers 2000 points for a guessed letter. But if the player used the sector and chose the wrong key, then the move from it passes to another player. Then an assistant comes up and shows that there really is a key to the car. Currently, the "Key" sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a key.
• Bankrupt (B)- the points scored by the player are burned out, and the turn passes to the next player. If the "Bankrupt" sector falls out twice, the player is given an incentive prize.
• Zero (0)- the points scored do not burn out, but the move is transferred to another player.
• ×2- the points scored by the player are doubled if he correctly names the letter (if there are two letters, then it is tripled, if three - it is multiplied by 4, etc.)

Rules of the game

The game is played in three rounds, each of which involves 3 players and the final, in which the winners of the rounds participate.

At the beginning of the round, the host announces the topic of the game to the participants. All questions in the game will be related to this topic, which can be anything (for example: owls, honey, weddings, iron). Next, the presenter shows the word encrypted on the scoreboard related to the topic, and gives suggestive hints so that the players guess it. The main task of each player is to guess the word faster than his rivals and earn as many points as possible.

The players spin the drum. The first move is made by the player closest to the leader. He can get sectors with any number of points that he will receive if he guesses the letter, or a special (also temporary) sector.

When successful move the player names the letter of the Russian alphabet, which, according to him, is present in the hidden word. If there is such a letter, then it opens on the scoreboard, and the player receives the number of points dropped out (if there are several such letters, all are opened, and points are awarded for each), and can spin the drum again or take a chance and name the whole word. If the named letter is not in the word (or if the move is ineffective), the right to spin the drum passes to the next player. The first player to guess the whole word wins. If the player calls the word incorrectly, then he is out of the game. The word can also be opened letter by letter by spinning the wheel and naming one letter per turn. In this case, the winner of the final is the player who opens the last letter.

Players who win their rounds advance to the final. The player who wins the final round is considered the winner of the game. He can choose prizes for the points earned (the number of points scored by the players is not displayed anywhere, and the amount of points earned by the winner of the game is announced by the host).

With three letters correctly guessed in a row, the player has the right to choose from two caskets, one of which contains money. If he guesses the box, he receives a prize of 5 thousand rubles, which cannot “burn out”.

The player is eliminated from the game if he took the prize (or money for it), or said the wrong word.

If two players left, then the rule works for the third three successful moves, introduced in 1993. It consists in the fact that the player, after three effective moves, must name the word - otherwise, he leaves the game and does not become the winner of the round. Thus, two or one player can play in the final; the game can also be left without a winner (if the above situation occurs in the final) or even without a final (if this happens in all three qualifying rounds).

In the early 1990s, there was an "insurance" consisting of the following: the participants called it an "accident" (for example: the "Bankrupt" sector fell twice in a row, not a single correct letter was named, the move did not reach at all, etc.), and, if something happened to the participant from which he was “insured”, he received a cash prize. Each trio, final and super game were held by independent companies.

In early 1991, a game with spectators sitting in the studio appeared, which existed until the fall of 2001.

Since the players are not alone in the studio, there is a possibility of an unauthorized hint. If the host heard a hint from the audience, the prompter is removed from the studio, and the host changes the task.

Super game

After the winner of the game has chosen prizes for the points earned, the host invites him to participate in a super game, where he can either lose everything or win a super prize, a gift from the program and a car in addition to the prizes earned.

In case of agreement, the player spins the drum to select one of the six super prizes. The host thinks of three words, including one main and two additional ones. After that, the leader gives the player the right to name several letters of the alphabet (the number of letters is called by the leader, usually this is half the letters of the main word, if there is an even number of letters, and half, rounded up, if odd). If the letters named by the player are in all the words, they are revealed. After that, the player is given a minute to name the main word. If he guessed the main word, then he receives a super prize, if two (together with the main one), then in addition to the super prize, the player receives a gift from the program. If the player guesses all three words, then he gets a car. If the player does not guess the horizontal word, then he loses all prizes won by points (only gifts and money from two boxes). Sometimes, however, one or more of these prizes will remain with the player at the behest of the host.

For a short time in the second half of the 1990s, the Field of Miracles sector existed in the super game among the super prizes. His loss meant giving the player a jersey, cap and his release from playing the super game without losing everything previously won.

Since September 1, 2006, 2 additional words have been introduced that cross the main one (a kind of crossword puzzle). To win in the super game, it is enough for the player (but in any case it is necessary) to guess the main (horizontal) one. If, after successfully guessing the horizontal one, he also names the vertical ones, then the car wins. If the player guesses the vertical words, but does not guess the horizontal one, then the super game will be lost.

filming

The recording of 52 minutes of the broadcast lasts up to three hours. Filming of the TV show takes place regardless of its broadcast: so they can be organized both on weekdays and on weekends. In one shooting day, four programs are filmed at once. The shooting itself takes place at the Ostankino television center, in the 4th studio.

Program Museum

The program has its own museum, which stores items donated by the participants to Leonid Yakubovich. The Field of Wonders Capital Show Gift Museum was established in 2001, but its idea was conceived in the early 1990s. In the museum you can find the first box of the "Field of Miracles", the costumes that Yakubovich wore, numerous portraits of Yakubovich and much more. The museum is located in the Central Pavilion of the All-Russian Exhibition Center. You can touch most of the exhibits with your hands, you are allowed to take pictures, try on costumes. In August 2014, the museum was closed, but soon, in September 2015, it was opened.

Impact on culture

A phrase performed by Leonid Yakubovich, which ends with an exclamation: "... to the studio!" and, as a rule, begins with the words “gifts”, “prize”, entered into modern everyday speech and is used, in particular, as a stereotypical comment on forums, blogs, etc. It is built according to the scheme: “N - to the studio!” , where N is the object whose provision is required from the author of the previous message. For example: “pictures to the studio”, “evidence to the studio”, “links to the studio”, etc. The phrase “Car” by L. Yakubovich is also used, which is pronounced by stretching the vowels and with solemn intonation.

Games based on the program

In 1993, based on the TV program, the DOS game Field of Wonders: Capital Show was released. This game has been ported for Android and iOS.
