How much pay the heroes of the show let them say. The fees of foreign "experts" on Russian talk shows are revealed

Self-humiliation as a form of earnings

Few people want the whole world to discuss their innermost. But Nikita Dzhigurda flaunts his intimate relationships with women - he assures that this is how he opposes the propaganda of same-sex love. Well, you can always justify your behavior. But the former director of Dzhigurda, Antonina Savrasova, sees a different reason for the showman's frankness.

“Nikita generates news about his life in order to make money on it! Savrasova says. - Dzhigurda has not worked anywhere for a long time - he does not play in the theater, he does not act in films. He gets paid for TV shows. Comes to the program, breaks comedy and earns large sums.

From his divorce from Marina Anisina and the will of Lyudmila Bratash Dzhigurda, he squeezed the maximum "dividends". His rating soared, and on federal channels he was paid up to 600 thousand rubles for participating in a talk show. But time passed, and the hype began to subside.

“A couple of months ago, Nikita called me in disheveled feelings,” continues Antonina Savrasova. - He complained: they say, they don’t call on TV channels, there is no reason. He said that he had run out of money, he could not even give gas to the driver. I felt abandoned and alone. And suddenly - good luck! Donna Luna appeared on the horizon - a sultry woman, a poet's dream.

A jewelry designer from Italy herself approached Dzhigurda, offering to collaborate. He did not miss his chance, and now the couple's personal pages were flooded with joint photos and videos.

The other day, Dzhigurda, along with Donna Luna, was invited to Dmitry Shepelev's show "Actually". The artist agreed to come to the program for 400 thousand rubles, but then he suddenly called a new amount - a million! TV people were almost paralyzed. How the auction ended is still unknown. Meanwhile, the editors of the “Let them talk” program of the same First Channel also show interest in Nikita. Yes, and the channel "Russia" has already asked the showman to talk about new love, but so far the parties have not agreed on the amount of the fee.

How much do celebrities get paid to appear on TV shows?

There are no single prices: it all depends on the rating of the artist, the information occasion, the exclusivity and originality of the story. Let's say, while there is a hype around some event, its participants receive an increased fee. Who now remembers the biker Ishutin, who hit singer Yuri Antonov at a gas station? Meanwhile, he hit his jackpot - he earned a total of 1.5 million rubles on the talk show (300 - 400 thousand rubles each for one visit to the TV show). It is curious that the court ordered Ishutin to pay the singer 60 thousand rubles. In the end, the biker won. Right at least open a business - hit famous people and then earn money on the show ...

The wife of the singer Danko agreed to talk about the difficult relationship in the family for 150 thousand rubles (this was announced by the artist himself). The driver of Anastasia Volochkova, who is now in a pre-trial detention center on suspicion of theft, boasted to his acquaintances that he had requested 800 thousand rubles from Let They Talk. However, whether he received the money remains unknown. Not the most popular serial actor Sergei Plotnikov recently earned 150 thousand rubles on revelations about his abandoned son.

On the program "Secret for a Million" of the NTV channel, Vladimir Friske was paid 300 thousand rubles. Diana Shurygina and her family, according to media reports, earned the same amount for participating in several issues of Let Them Talk. The Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan cost 600 thousand rubles for the program “Let them talk”. Model Naomi Campbell paid $10,000 at the same show in 2010.

However, not all celebrities and experts get paid. Someone free of charge participates in the air to light up. Some people hope to solve their problems with the help of television. And often people are ready to speak in a talk show studio for free out of respect for the person or topic being discussed, or simply out of interest.

Pricing for Popular Talk Shows

According to materials:

Ukrainians do not come without payment

The media found out how much participants in political talk shows on Russian TV channels receive. For example, the monthly income of the American journalist Michael Bohm, who often acts as a "whipping boy", can reach one million rubles.

Not all invited experts receive money for a visit to a talk show - some come for free. However, there is a category of persons whose remuneration can be about one million rubles a month.

“For some, this is work. Ukrainians do not come without payment,” a source told kp.ru.

According to him, the “most expensive” guest on the air is Ukrainian political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun. “His monthly income from all shows and channels is from 500 to 700 thousand rubles. Sometimes up to a million a month,” the source said.

The American Michael Bohm, who has an exclusive contract and a rate, receives about the same amount.

Polish political scientist Yakub Koreyba, in turn, earns less than 500 thousand rubles a month, as he rarely visits Moscow. “Everything is official - they draw up a contract, pay taxes,” the source said.

Recall that recently the host of the talk show "Time Will Show" on Channel One Artem Sheinin for interrupting him. He grabbed the American by the back of the head and said: “Why are you provoking me, my friend? I told you to sit!

In October, during a break in the talk show “Time Will Show,” Sheinin later apologized for this, however, believing that the reason for the fight was “paranoid delirium” when defending the pro-Ukrainian position. The person who hit Kovtun was Alexander Borodai, the first chairman of the Council of Ministers of the self-proclaimed DPR.

The best in "MK" - in a short evening mailing list: subscribe to our channel in

Actress Maria Shukshina said that she was offered 15 million rubles for participating in Andrei Malakhov's talk show on the Russia 1 TV channel. According to her, all participants in such television programs receive fees for filming.

The actress mentioned the price for the participation of stars in the comments to her post on Instagram. In them, she addressed a member of the expert council for the development of the information society and the media under the State Duma, Vadim Manukyan:

For money, I’ll tell you what I know personally: my son Makar’s Malakhov program offered a million rubles, they were ready to pay me 15 million if only I came ... But going to this obscurantism is not to respect yourself ... They pay absolutely ALL participants of the show.

Shukshina called such issues a spiritual and moral war. “The more dirt, the more they pay!” she concluded.

In the comments on Shukshina's publication, subscribers discussed a petition that requires legislation to prohibit discussion of the personal life of stars on television. Manukyan promised the actress that the perpetrators would be held accountable for their actions. In his opinion, the federal channels spend the state budget inappropriately by releasing such shows.

Earlier, many Russian celebrities demanded to ban the TV shows "Live", "Let them talk" and "You won't believe it!". In their opinion, such programs discredit the honor and dignity of famous personalities. Among those who supported the initiative are Maria Shukshina, Alika Smekhova and Nikita Dzhigurda.

State Duma deputies appealed to the general director of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company with a request to "filter the dirt" on the air of television channels. They also sent a request for spending the state funds allocated to the channel.

VGTRK annually allocate 25 billion rubles from the state budget!

For hot showdowns of stars and not only we are used to watching on TV. Talk shows of various channels work around the clock to give the viewer hot details, and most importantly, to invite all the defendants in the scandal that has erupted to the studio. However, few people know what kind of work, and most importantly, the cost is to call all the heroes and even the guests of the TV program.

Shurygina is paid 500,000 per hour

According to our source (for obvious reasons, he preferred to remain anonymous, but his name is in the editorial office), all the cream is removed, of course, by the main characters of the program. And it doesn’t matter if they are artists or ordinary people: the louder the scandal, the greater the reward for the main characters.

Diana Shurygina, more precisely, her rape has been discussed by the whole country for a whole year. How much Diana earned on her first programs is unknown. But we know for sure: while the Shurygina case calmed down, Andrey Malakhov himself supported the girl. Even pole dancing courses were paid for by the TV presenter. When the case flared up with renewed vigor, namely, Sergei Semenov, Diana's rapist, was released, the girl earned 500 thousand rubles from one of the programs alone. For this amount, many Russians work hard at work for a year or even more.

And Diana just sat in an armchair for an hour with a lie detector connected. Malakhov did not forget about Sergei Semenov either. He kept in touch with the guy while he was behind bars, and as soon as Sergei came out, he invited him to his program. Semyonov received no less than a million rubles. For this, he signed a contract for three months, which does not give him the right to take part in any programs other than "Live".

For several months now, passions have not subsided due to the divorce of the People's Artist of the USSR Armen Dzhigarkhanyan and Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya. The woman was accused of fraud, and her ex-husband called her nothing more than a "thief." And no wonder, because after the divorce, it was Armen Dzhigarkhanyan who was left with practically nothing, all the property turned out to be written to Vitalina. This situation was also discussed on popular talk shows, several episodes were devoted to it. Oddly enough, the people's artist did not receive a penny from the channels. As the employees of the famous television project say, Armen Borisovich is a man of principle. But Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya demanded a million rubles for her appearance on the program.

Buzova is not much wanted

There are media people who have a certain price for the appearance in the chair of the next talk show. For example, Natalia Bochkareva, the star of the series “Happy Together”, clearly answers the call from the editors: she is ready to come as an expert for 30 thousand rubles. Natalya Drozhzhina, a frequenter of broadcasts, especially dedicated to the memory of artists, also takes 30,000 for her participation in the program for a couple with her husband Mikhail Tsivin. Olga Buzova received only 100 pieces for her confession on "Male / Female".

Many fans of the TV presenter and singer wondered why this particular program, why not “Let them talk” or “Live”. As it turned out, the popular diva is simply not invited anywhere else, because she is popular only among Internet subscribers. Viewers don't get it. The biggest surprise for us was the fee of the former member of "House-2" Rustam Solntsev. For a scandal on the air, for constant provocations and ora, the showman receives one hundred thousand rubles.

One of the first interviews of the People's Artist of the RSFSR Leonid Kuravlev in a talk show cost the producers only 80,000. The legendary actor had never participated in such programs before and did not know what to ask for more.


Recently, an interview with a former extras foreman of various talk shows named Radmir Kuznets appeared on the Internet. The 23-year-old guy, as if in spirit, told all the ins and outs of filming. But his information was somewhat different from what our source told us. Radmir said that experts such as Rustam Solntsev and public figure Pavel Pyatnitsky themselves pay to be shown on the air of the first or second “button”. We asked Rustam about this.

- This is all a lie, I only go there for money, - the 41-year-old ex-participant of the reality show "Dom-2" is indignant. "I'll pay them too!" I don’t need to promote myself, this is all a passed stage. I go purely to earn money. As an expert, I take from 15 to 50 thousand rubles. I don't go for less money. If I am invited as a hero, then of course I ask for more - about 100-150 pieces. This is purely my income. Therefore, that guy is lying - I declare with all responsibility as an honest person.

As for Pyatnitsky, I am also sure that he does not pay anything. He is not so often called, but invited specifically for specialized topics. Television is just a Pandora's box of money that has to pay for unique opinions, unique stories. So what? I myself don’t watch any of this, even if I’m filming, and I wish such heroines as Shurygina, Dana Borisova that they don’t take a break from their own importance. Borisova, by the way, is paid from 150 thousand rubles, but she, like a heroine, goes everywhere. This is her only income. But on the last program "Live" it was clear that she was no longer pulling.

In the same Internet interview, Radmir Kuznets also commented on the personality of Andrei Malakhov. According to him, the TV presenter behind the scenes is very rude, able to call names and even hit an unfamiliar person on the site.

“I have known Andrei Malakhov since I was 23,” Solntsev contradicts Kuznetsov. - I can say that behind the scenes he is even better than in the frame. He is the sweetest, he recently gave me a bottle of wine. Write to this Radmir, let him fuck his head against the wall, he has incorrect information!

Kelmi sharpens a tooth on Malakhov

We also contacted the singer Danko, who also participated in various talk shows more than once. On one of the broadcasts in the “Actually” program, he spoke about his allegedly difficult relationship with his wife. But the main goal of the artist was completely different - to tell about his seriously ill daughter Agatha and announce a fundraiser to help the girl. But, unfortunately, his conditions were not met.

“Heroes come to talk shows, clowning, get money, and the audience applauds them,” says the singer. “People are voting for this. This is what our people need. Well, what, you propose to impose on them what they do not like?! Bach, for example, or ballet? The people consume it all, and the heroes are just actors, they get paid for it. This is the kind of business we have. That's work!

You have to come, spend gasoline, you are still there from head to toe, perhaps they will lower you, of course, you need to take money for this. It happens that the agreements on the talk show are not fulfilled. I went to Shepelev's program to promote my Agatha's page in her support, since she is disabled. They promised and just deceived me. There, they select such people as editors who are devoid of all moral principles. To work in such projects and deliver this rubbish, you need to have the psychology of a pathologist, they don’t care about people.

Singer Chris Kelmi also sharpens his teeth on talk shows. He has been promised broadcast in Malakhov's program for a whole month. After all, the artist can’t wait to talk about his miraculous recovery in Thailand and the end of his friendship with alcohol.

“Before the New Year, the administrator of the Malakhova program called me,” Kelmi recalls. - They agreed to make a transfer with me immediately after the holidays. But then Nikita Lushnikov, the founder of my rehabilitation center, called me back and said that he was leaving on a business trip, asked to reschedule graduation to mid-January. But the administrator on the 16th said that everything was being postponed again.

I decided that I would wait until Monday and if there was no broadcast, I would just perform on another channel! It's like I have nothing else to do in my life besides waiting for them to shoot. Moreover, soon I will go to my childhood friend Kostya Ernst's birthday party. So I'll tell him that I'm ready to come to the "First Channel" in "Let them talk."

Chris Kelmi also told us that his fee for participating in the talk show is about 100 thousand rubles. But it is usually not possible to get the full amount on hand.

“Now they don’t give us cash,” the singer admits. - I sign the contract, they then transfer the amount to my current account. Since the money is not handed in an envelope, of course, part of the fee goes to taxes. In this sense, I am an absolutely law-abiding person and have nothing against it.

By the way

Oddly enough, the following pattern emerged: the more a person has achieved, the fewer requirements he has. For example, Philip Kirkorov, Alla Pugacheva, Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Igor Nikolaev, Valeria with Iosif Prigogine, Stas Mikhailov, Vasily Lanovoy never charge for their participation in a talk show, whether as a hero or a guest. Laima Vaikule, in addition to not requiring money, even the rider does not prescribe - the most unpretentious star, as television workers say about Vaikul.

Perhaps not a single political talk show on Russian television is complete without foreign guests. Each time they oppose our country, receiving insults and even kicks in response, but they do not stop going to programs. It turned out that the role of a whipping boy is a very profitable business.

According to an informed source, some experts attend such shows for free, while others go to them as if they were working. For example, Ukrainians come to the program only for money.

ON THIS TOPIC

So, for example, the most expensive Ukrainian expert of the show is political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun. He earns from 500 to 700 thousand rubles a month, and sometimes the income is even a million rubles, Komsomolskaya Pravda writes.

The US journalist Michael Bohm earns the same amount. "The American generally has an exclusive contract and a rate. He is obliged to attend a certain number of broadcasts," the source said.

There are also more modest experts. For example, the Polish political scientist Yakub Koreyba earns less than 500 thousand rubles a month. It's just that the expert does not manage to come to Moscow often for programs.

"Everything is official - they draw up a contract, pay taxes," the source added. An expert like Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Suvorov receives 10-15 thousand rubles for broadcasting. More promoted guests are paid up to 30 thousand rubles for participation.

Earlier it was reported that the American journalist Michael Bohm was almost beaten in the midst of the show "Time will tell" on Channel One. The host of the program, Artem Sheinin, began to threaten the guest, and then jumped up to him and grabbed his jacket.

"What do you think, I can only use my tongue? Are you provoking me? Did I tell you to sit? Sit!" he said angrily. Despite such humiliating treatment, Bohm did not leave the studio and stated that he did not hold a grudge against Sheinin.

One of the most popular genres on television is the talk show. These are programs where participants discuss various topics. Talking room, in a word

In principle, there are not so many people in the world whose conversations can be listened to with interest for hours. But on talk shows, they listen and look at the talking heads without stopping. Even if the frame is not Nobel laureates, but ordinary housewives.

Talk shows are different. Political, psychological, event. And the issues discussed in them can be anything. From the meaning of life to communal squabbles. But in most programs, one thing is invariable: they have heroes, expert guests and spectators. And, of course, leaders.

Heroes

There is an opinion that the characters of many talk shows on everyday and family topics are actually guest actors who act out stories written by scriptwriters in front of the camera. This is not entirely true. Indeed, actors, including non-professional ones, are involved in numerous programs on judicial topics. In talk shows of the same level "Let them talk" or "Live" actors are not used as heroes. First, they need to write out a very decent fee. Secondly, the viewer has now gone sophisticated, it is not so easy to fool him.

Another question audiences often ask is whether non-star talk show characters get paid to be on the program. Otherwise, why would it have occurred to them to shake their dirty laundry in front of the whole country? They do, but not always.

Oddly enough, there are people who are ready to turn their souls inside out for the sake of five minutes of fame. An hour-long presence on the air of one of the federal channels promises them not only the highest level of popularity among neighbors and acquaintances, but also a possible solution to personal problems. This is especially true for the inhabitants of the hinterland. In some Glukhomansk, a person who is familiar with Andrey Malakhov himself cannot be taken away just like that.

It is to this kind of characters that the call that invariably appears in the finals of the talk show is addressed: if you have an interesting story, write.

Of course, TV channels pay guests travel to the capital and hotel accommodation.

Serious problems arise with the opponents of the main characters. Suppose, in the center of the plot there was a woman who did not really know which of the three boyfriends she gave birth to, about which she wrote in Ostankino as if in spirit. But for intrigue, all three men should be invited to the studio. Do they need it? This is where money should be offered. Small ones, of course. However, in Glukhomansk even 10 thousand rubles is a substantial amount.

Brainwashing

Filming a talk show is hard. The authors of the program, getting acquainted with the next life story, compose on its basis an approximate scenario, where each participant is assigned a certain role. Someone has to be a hero, someone a villain. Sometimes reality doesn't fit into the fabricated scheme.

But this is half the trouble. It’s worse when the characters in the show don’t know how to formulate their thoughts and carry the devil knows what. To prevent such situations, preliminary work is carried out with the participants. As an example, let's continue to develop the above story. So, the lady does not know from whom she gave birth, but in her eyes she looks not so much a frivolous person as a deceived victim. Suppose the authors of the program have already agreed with her three men. But only all three unanimously claim that this girlfriend of theirs loves to take a walk ... And where is the intrigue here?

Talk show editors get involved. Heroic fathers are invited to Moscow in advance. They are intelligibly explained that everything was not as they say, but in a completely different way. One of the main arguments of the editors: "You understand that in order for your performance to be remembered, you need to add some bright details to it. Even if everything was not quite like that, it will be interesting."

As a result, men do everything that is required of them.

Stars

Celebrity talk shows are a different story. Here, as a rule, no one has to pay. Big artists do not go to such events. Representatives of pop music in all areas of art are already happy to once again light up on the screen.

Celebrities are invariably present in the studios and as experts. The value of their stardom is directly related to the theme of the program. If in the center of the plot is one of their colleagues, to whom they sing praises in honor of their birthday, this is one thing. If we are talking about the pregnancy of a schoolgirl, faded stars or outright party-goers come to the rescue.

From year to year it becomes more and more difficult to invite "pervachs" to talk shows with a problematic plot. Many of them were burned by the fact that, having delivered a fiery speech in front of the camera, in the broadcast version they found only slurred remnants of it.

Spectators

It is known that the bulk of the extras in the talk show are "professionals", that is, people who have their own little penny for being on the program. Those who come to shoot out of sheer curiosity are in the minority. The majority wanders from one studio to another, working off the money received with their reaction. Their fees are different. From a couple of hundred rubles to a thousand. The maximum amount is earned by the so-called "active viewers". They are seated in the front rows. Constantly getting into the frame, they create a lively background for the presenter, imitating a violent reaction to what is happening. They are indignant, laugh, sigh in sympathy. Of course, at the prompts of the editors on the audience. There is such a special profession in a talk show. Their task is to fill the stands to capacity, preventing inadequate comrades from entering the site.

Editors

The staff of talk show editors is constantly changing. It's a monstrous job that few can stand. If the main story of the program is not made up out of thin air, but has a real basis, it is far from easy to persuade its heroes to come.

Remember, when a Moscow schoolboy killed a teacher and a policeman in the morning, in the evening his classmates, teachers and neighbors were already sitting in the studios "Let them talk" and "Live broadcast"? Can you imagine what work has been done in this short period of time? What arguments were offered to the shocked teenagers to come?..

Editors who do not know how to chat potential guests do not stay on channels for a long time. What about competition? Do you remember how the journalists of the same “Let them talk” and “Live broadcast” fought, winning the right to get their father, Alexei Kabanov, who killed his wife?

Recording

Real live programs are extremely rare. Most sign up in advance and wait in the wings. Recording takes place in several steps. With a full extras, with a partial extras, consisting of "professional" spectators. Eminent guests, out of respect, are quickly released. There are no commercial breaks during filming, the presenters only announce them in the right place.

Editing takes a significant place in the work on a talk show. It is in his process that, for the sake of entertainment, the phrases of the participants are cut, the replicas are interchanged. Not fair? Yes. But these programs are not done for the sake of honesty. And they get colossal ratings not for the truth. And therefore, as the song says, the talk show must go on.

The most famous Russian TV talk shows

• "Let them talk" (Channel One, host Andrey Malakhov)
• "Live" ("Russia 1", presenter Boris Korchevnikov)
• "Right to vote" ("TV Center", hosts Olga Kokorekina, Roman Babayan)
• "Sunday evening with Vladimir Solovyov", "Duel" ("Russia 1", hosted by Vladimir Solovyov)
• "We speak and show" (NTV, host Leonid Zakoshansky)

Natalia OSIPOVA, psychologist:

Most viewers love life stories, told as if in a fit of revelation. It's like having a non-committal conversation with a random fellow traveler on the train. But if, after watching, you try to sort out everything you see and hear on the talk show, you can find inconsistencies in details and characters. It is clear that a lot was invented on the go, that the heroes do not always manage to play the role intended for them. But it doesn't really matter. It is also not necessary to believe a neighbor in the car. The main thing is to kill time.
