Excerpt characterizing Taxi (TV game)

Princess Marya sat alone in her room, listening to the sounds of the house, occasionally opening the door when they passed by, and looking closely at what was happening in the corridor. Several women with quiet steps passed there and from there, looked back at the princess and turned away from her. She did not dare to ask, shut the door, returned to her room, and then sat down in her chair, then took up the prayer book, then knelt in front of the icon case. To her misfortune and surprise, she felt that prayer did not calm her excitement. Suddenly the door of her room opened quietly and her old nanny Praskovya Savishna, tied with a handkerchief, appeared on her threshold, almost never, due to the prohibition of the prince, who did not enter her room.
- With you, Mashenka, I came to sit, - said the nanny, - but the prince's wedding candles in front of the saint brought light, my angel, - she said with a sigh.
- Oh, how glad I am, nanny.
- God is merciful, dove. - The nanny lit candles wrapped in gold in front of the icon case and sat down by the door with a stocking. Princess Marya took the book and began to read. Only when footsteps or voices were heard did the princess fearfully, questioningly, and the nanny looked reassuringly at each other. In all parts of the house, the same feeling was poured out and possessed by everyone that Princess Marya felt, sitting in her room. According to the belief that the fewer people know about the suffering of the parturient woman, the less she suffers, everyone tried to pretend not to know; no one spoke about this, but in all people, except for the usual degree and respectfulness of good manners that reigned in the prince's house, one could see some kind of common concern, a softened heart and the consciousness of something great, incomprehensible, happening at that moment.
There was no laughing in the big girl's room. In the waiter's room, all the people sat and were silent, ready for something. Torches and candles were burned on the yard and did not sleep. The old prince, stepping on his heel, walked around the office and sent Tikhon to Marya Bogdanovna to ask: what? - Just tell me: the prince ordered to ask what? and come tell me what she has to say.
“Report to the prince that labor has begun,” said Marya Bogdanovna, looking significantly at the messenger. Tikhon went and reported to the prince.
- Well, - said the prince, closing the door behind him, and Tikhon did not hear the slightest sound in the study. A little later, Tikhon entered the office, as if to fix the candles. Seeing that the prince was lying on the sofa, Tikhon looked at the prince, at his upset face, shook his head, silently approached him and, kissing him on the shoulder, left without straightening the candles and without saying why he had come. The most solemn sacrament in the world continued to be performed. The evening has passed, the night has come. And the feeling of expectation and softening of the heart before the incomprehensible did not fall, but rose. Nobody slept.

It was one of those March nights when winter seemed to want to take its toll and pour out its last snows and blizzards with desperate malice. To meet the German doctor from Moscow, who was expected every minute and for whom a set-up was sent to the main road, to a turn onto a country road, horsemen with lanterns were sent to escort him through bumps and jams.
Princess Marya had long since abandoned the book: she sat silently, her radiant eyes fixed on the wrinkled face of the nurse, familiar to the slightest detail: a lock of gray hair that had emerged from under her kerchief, on a hanging bag of skin under her chin.
Nanny Savishna, with a stocking in her hands, in a low voice, told, she herself did not hear and did not understand her words, told hundreds of times about how the deceased princess in Chisinau gave birth to Princess Marya, with a Moldavian peasant woman, instead of her grandmother.
- God have mercy, you never need a doctor, - she said. Suddenly a gust of wind fell on one of the exposed frames of the room (at the behest of the prince, one frame in each room was always exhibited with larks) and, knocking off a badly closed latch, rattled the damask curtain, and, smelling of cold, snow, blew out the candle. Princess Marya shuddered; the nanny, putting down her stocking, went to the window and leaning out began to catch the thrown frame. The cold wind ruffled the ends of her handkerchief and the gray strands of her hair that had strayed out.
- Princess, mother, someone is going on the prospect! She said, holding the frame and not closing it. - With lanterns, must be a doctor ...
- Oh my god! Thank God! - said Princess Marya, - we must go to meet him: he does not know Russian.
Princess Marya threw on a shawl and ran to meet those who were riding. When she passed the front, she saw through the window that some kind of carriage and lanterns were standing at the entrance. She went out onto the stairs. There was a tallow candle on the railing post, and it was flowing in the wind. The waiter Philip, with a frightened face and with another candle in his hand, stood below, on the first landing of the stairs. Even lower, around the bend, up the stairs, footsteps in warm boots could be heard moving. And some familiar voice, as it seemed to Princess Marya, was saying something.
- Thank God! The voice said. - And father?
- We lay down to rest, - answered the voice of the butler Demyan, who was already below.
Then a voice said something else, and Demian answered something, and steps in warm boots began to approach faster along an invisible turn of the stairs. "This is Andrey! - thought Princess Marya. No, it can't be, it would be too extraordinary, ”she thought, and at the same moment as she thought it, on the platform where the waiter was standing with a candle, the face and figure of Prince Andrei in a fur coat with a collar sprinkled snow. Yes, it was him, but pale and thin, and with a changed, strangely softened, but anxious expression on his face. He entered the stairs and hugged his sister.
- Didn't you receive my letter? - he asked, and without waiting for an answer, which he would not have received, because the princess could not speak, he returned, and with the obstetrician who entered after him (he gathered with him at the last station), with quick steps again entered the stairs and hugged his sister again. - What a fate! - he said, - Masha is dear - and, throwing off his fur coat and boots, he went to the princess's half.

The little princess was lying on pillows in a white cap. (Suffering had just released her.) Black hair curled in strands around her sore, sweaty cheeks; a ruddy, charming mouth with a sponge covered with black hair was open, and she smiled happily. Prince Andrew entered the room and stopped in front of her, at the foot of the sofa on which she was lying. Shining eyes, looking childish, frightened and worried, stopped on him, without changing their expression. “I love you all, I didn’t do any harm to anyone, why am I suffering? help me, ”her expression said. She saw her husband, but did not understand the significance of his appearance now in front of her. Prince Andrey walked around the sofa and kissed her on the forehead.
“My darling,” he said: a word that he had never spoken to her. - God is merciful. She looked at him questioningly, childishly reproachful.
- I expected help from you, and nothing, nothing, and you too! - said her eyes. She was not surprised that he came; she did not understand that he had arrived. His arrival had nothing to do with her suffering and relief. The agony began again, and Marya Bogdanovna advised Prince Andrey to leave the room.
The midwife entered the room. Prince Andrew went out and, meeting Princess Marya, again went up to her. They spoke in a whisper, but the conversation fell silent every minute. They waited and listened.
- Allez, mon ami, [Go, my friend,] - Princess Marya said. Prince Andrew went to his wife again, and sat down in the next room, waiting. Some woman left her room with a frightened face and was embarrassed when she saw Prince Andrew. He covered his face with his hands and sat there for several minutes. Pathetic, helpless animal moans were heard from outside the door. Prince Andrew got up, went to the door and wanted to open it. Someone was holding the door.
- You can't, you can't! - said a frightened voice from there. - He began to walk around the room. The screams stopped, and a few more seconds passed. Suddenly a terrible cry - not her cry, she could not scream like that - rang out in the next room. Prince Andrew ran to the door; the cry fell silent, the cry of a child was heard.
“Why did they bring the child there? thought for the first second Prince Andrew. Child? What? ... Why is there a child? Or was it a baby born? " When he suddenly understood all the joyful meaning of this cry, tears strangled him, and he, leaning with both hands on the windowsill, sobbing, wept like children cry. The door opened. The doctor, with his shirt sleeves rolled up, no frock coat, pale and with a trembling jaw, left the room. Prince Andrew turned to him, but the doctor looked at him in confusion and, without saying a word, walked by. The woman ran out and, seeing Prince Andrey, hesitated on the threshold. He entered his wife's room. She lay dead in the same position in which he had seen her five minutes ago, and the same expression, in spite of the fixed eyes and the pallor of her cheeks, was on this lovely, childish face with a sponge covered with black hair.
"I love you all and have never done anything wrong to anyone, and what have you done to me?" spoke her lovely, pitiful, dead face. In the corner of the room something small, red grunt and squeaked in Marya Bogdanovna's shaking white hands.

Two hours later, Prince Andrei entered his father's study with quiet steps. The old man already knew everything. He stood at the very door, and as soon as it opened, the old man silently, with his old, stiff hands, like a vice, clasped his son's neck and sobbed like a child.

Three days later, the funeral service for the little princess was performed, and, saying goodbye to her, Prince Andrei ascended the steps of the coffin. And in the coffin was the same face, albeit with closed eyes. "Oh, what have you done to me?" it kept saying, and Prince Andrew felt that something had come off in his soul, that he was guilty of guilt, which he could not correct and forget. He couldn't cry. The old man also entered and kissed her wax pen, lying calmly and high on the other, and her face said to him: "Oh, what and why did you do this to me?" And the old man turned away angrily when he saw this face.

Five days later, the young Prince Nikolai Andreich was baptized. Mother held the diapers with her chin, while the priest smeared the wrinkled red palms and steps of the boy with a goose feather.

The Smolensk actors, who were invited to participate in the well-known program, confirmed that you will not meet "Taxi" just like that.

Taxi, taxi! Take it, take it!

Surely everyone has watched the "Taxi" program at least once. You are trying to catch a car, the Land Rover stops, and then ... music, lights, applause! You are greeted by a taxi, which will not only take you for free, but will also pay money. To do this, however, you need to answer the questions of the presenter. It turns out that mere mortals are not allowed to take part in the program. But the young people from Smolensk managed to ride the same jeep.

If you think that taxis can really be found on the streets of Moscow, you are wrong, ”warns Eugene. - Even actors are invited to this program. Unknown, young, but original.

Zhenya went to the capital for an acting diploma. Students are always happy to have the opportunity to participate somewhere.

A classmate called me, - says Zhenya. - She asked if I would like to participate in Taxi. Of course, I agreed. And the money is not superfluous, and you can "light up". They immediately called me back and made an appointment. They asked me to go to the metro station and bring along an adequate comrade with a sense of humor. Well, I invited Oleg.

Mysterious stranger

I, however, did not really want to act somewhere, - Oleg admits. - I have no need to shine, I'm not an actor. Then he got ready and came to Moscow. So, support a friend.

At the appointed time, the guys diligently pretended to catch a car near the metro. The organizers of the program indicated the destination in advance: "You see our car, brake, and say that you have to go to the Institute of Foreign Languages."

We slowed down different cars for a long time, - Oleg recalls. - I told everyone the same phrase: "Will you throw it up to Sheremetyev for fifty dollars?" For some reason, no one agreed.

Finally, the same "Taxi" drove up. The guys got into the car and began to portray unspeakable joy and surprise. The organizers took care of this in advance: "Be as emotional as possible!"

Wow! - Zhenya shouted. - Oleg, count up, that same taxi!

We were lucky! - a friend played along.

The guys immediately signed the necessary documents related to non-disclosure of secrets and everything else.

The driver announced the terms of the competition.

Yes, we agree! - Zhenya rejoiced at the camera. - We are poor students, we have no money, nothing to eat. How glad we will be!

I laughed so hard, - Oleg admits. - Hardly anyone believed that at 35 I look like a student.

Questions began, which were asked into the microphone by a mysterious woman in a black hood. She was sitting next to the driver (the guys were warned that it was forbidden to sit forward) and carefully concealed her true face. The questions are not fake, but real. How much you win, so much will be paid. The guys behaved well, but they stumbled on the fifth question: they could not remember the answer. I had to stop a passerby. The passer-by, by the way, is also real. Oddly enough, he helped. The guys won fifteen hundred. But then the host suggested playing a super game.

Serve poor students

It was not a pity to lose one and a half thousand, - Oleg smiles. - We agreed, having previously curled up at the camera: they say, we doubt so much, we do not want to lose money. Students!

The driver and the hooded woman frantically began to look for something. They apparently had little time.

Where is this CD with a quote ?! - the presenter was indignant. - Oh, here he is, sorry. So, a question for a super game: what is the name of a verbatim excerpt from any piece? Answer options: quote, metaphor, hyperbole or litota.

The guys thought for a while.

While they were pondering over such a "difficult" question, the driver turned to the camera and, with the air of a connoisseur, said:

They can lose money. For some, fifteen hundred is a whole salary.

It seems to me that this is a quote, ”Zhenya suddenly exclaimed.

A significant pause. The presenter intriguingly pronounces the classic phrase: "Unfortunately, I cannot give you fifteen hundred ... you won as many as three! I was a student myself. I know how it feels," the chauffeur was nostalgic.

Hooray! Hooray! - the guys rejoiced. - Now we can buy a lot of food! Potatoes, mayonnaise and dumplings! Also, she will stay for a gift for her beloved!

Leaving the car, the guys continued to hug and jump with happiness. The taxi said goodbye, the camera disappeared, and the guys rushed to the road to catch the car. They were terribly late.

Hero names have been changed.

Glory is like a ladder, the steps of which are either climbed with difficulty, or easily taken off, pushed by the friendly hand of Fortune. And how many idols we saw on its top, we cannot count, but how many we have forgotten, we also cannot count. Once they were recognized on the street, they handed out tens of thousands of autographs…. And then it happened that suddenly there was a lull. And the glory, once pursuing on the heels, suddenly modestly retreated to a corner, waiting for a new lucky one.

"StarHit" remembered those who once fired with such force that the whole country spoke about them, and then suddenly disappeared. Forgotten idols, from whose former glory there is not even a trace left - in our selection.

Alexey Kulichkov

Host of the Taxi program on TNT

Perhaps the most famous taxi driver at one point was Alexei Kulichkov. The man became famous thanks to the entertainment program on TNT, which he managed to run while driving a car. It was a new format for a television game and, probably, every second resident of the capital, calling a car for a trip, hoped that it would be Alexey Kulichkov's.

The charm and charm peculiar to him made the program popular. Millions of spectators followed the show game with enthusiasm, and each of them seemed to be in the role of the passenger of the "taxi driver" Alexei Kulichkov, involuntarily answering all his tricky questions.

True, once the nationwide fame of the presenter played a cruel joke with him. Alexei became the hero of the well-known program "Let them talk", where one of the main participants was the Penza bum Kolyan - the host's father, who thus, after a long absence from the family, decided to announce his existence.

After Alexey left the Taxi show game, we lost sight of him. For some time nothing was known about the once popular presenter, until they watched the program "Exchange of Household Appliances", where he performs in his usual role. By the way, now Alexey pays great attention to his family, sons and his beloved wife Latsyna.

Singer

Five years ago, the whole country sang with rapture the words of a hit that literally blew up all the charts. The song "Stytsamen" by Ivan Dorn became a real breakthrough in show business. Perhaps not a single track of any artist who released his songs at that time could compete with her. “My favorite music is playing here, I need alcohol, and waiting for you on the dance floor…” - these lines were familiar to everyone who watched TV or listened to the radio. And the name of Ivan Dorn in an instant acquired the status of the main pop star of our time. It seemed that it would never end, and the musician would release dozens of hits that would be in demand in Russia. But that did not happen. The singer continued his development in his homeland, in Ukraine. It was there that the glory of Dorn did not go out, but in Russia they managed to forget about him.

In his native Slavutich, especially at school # 1, where Ivan Dorn studied, he is considered a living legend. Director Anatoly Ryabchenko is even proud that he took him in his arms when presenting the certificate. Say, the young graduate played the role of a small child so skillfully that there was nowhere to go. Not so long ago, Ivan married his beloved Nastya Novikova, and at the end of May last year his daughter was born.

The song "White Dragonfly of Love" nearly made it to Eurovision 2009, and the famous music critic Artemy Troitsky compared its author to Elton John himself. Then still young Nikolai Voronov, undoubtedly, was flattered by such a characteristic. By the way, he composed "White Dragonfly" at the age of ten on a synthesizer, and six years later this hit literally blew up the news of the Internet. Nikolai Voronov, more like a nerd with glasses than a composer and singer, has become incredibly popular. Participation in the New Year's "Ogonyok" on the "2x2" channel, in the clubs "Solyanka", "Ikra" - everywhere he was a welcome guest. And crowds of fans gathered around the house of the young talent, parents sounded the alarm about this. They seriously feared that early fame would ruin his talent and prevent him from getting a real musical education. But this did not happen, Nikolai's hobby for "pop" was short-lived.

As soon as he began to compose symphonic music, to make theatrical performances, the fame of the author of "The White Dragonfly of Love" began to fade gradually. However, this does not depress Nikolai Voronov at all: he is cheerful, cheerful, rides public transport and jokes that his popularity helped him quit smoking. And now he goes on stage infrequently and performs with his songs mainly in clubs and at corporate parties.

Actor

The creative career of the young actor Vasily Stepanov is a kind of zigzag of luck. First - the wild success in the film "Inhabited Island", fame, a solid fee and thousands of enthusiastic fans. He looked like handsome Soviet-era actors who played fairytale heroes, labor shock workers and Komsomol leaders. And in all honesty, I had to admit that the catchy appearance largely accompanied the popularity of Vasily Stepanov. The actor, as is customary after the resounding success in cinema, was predicted a great future. And he probably succumbed to the temptation of easy glory and, in general, was not ready for future trials. Perhaps, due to some naivety, Vasily Stepanov believed that the name of Fyodor Bondarchuk, the director of the film "Inhabited Island", would immediately open the doors for him to great cinema. But this did not happen, and the actor, apparently, could not wait patiently.

As a result, Vasily fell into a deep depression: there were no offers from the directors, the fee ended, he broke up with his girlfriend. And Stepanov again returned to the parental "Khrushchev". He tried to somehow remedy the situation and even decided to try himself in the role of an advertising model. However, it did not work out: it did not fit within the framework of the accepted "standards". And once Vasily almost died: a blood clot in his left leg came off, doctors saved his life.

But all bad things come to an end. And now, it seems, a bright streak is coming in the life of Vasily Stepanov. He signed a contract with one of the well-known concert agencies, changed his image to a more stylish and modern one, opened his own website, and is already considering incoming proposals from directors in order to restart his acting career.

Actress, performer of the role of Sveta Bukina in the TV series "Happy Together"

Her star in the sky lit up so brightly that the world of cinema trembled and immediately let this charming creature into its ranks. Sveta Bukina, she is also Daria Sagalova, from the series "Happy Together" quickly burst into the evening life of millions of viewers, instantly winning our sympathy. The stupid and naive blonde, in whose lovely head only thoughts about tough guys were spinning, was funny and caused a good laugh.

Unlike the screen image, Daria Sagalova is considered in real life to be a person of strict moral principles. And her friends and acquaintances are well aware of this. Dasha began her creative career with the theater: the girl was invited to the role of Cinderella - the complete opposite of the future Sveta Bukina. But the movie attracted the girl more, where she turned out to be a sought-after actress. A number of small roles followed, Dasha was preparing for a long painstaking work on herself, until chance intervened in her life.

Having run somehow in passing to the casting of the sitcom "Happy Together", she forever remained in it inimitable Sveta Bukina. Later, in the wake of popularity, Daria Sagalova became the winner of the TV show "Dancing with the Stars 2008" and was recognized by Maxim magazine as the sexiest Russian woman. And then Dasha suddenly disappeared from sight.

Many were worried about the fate of the recognized star. And to our great joy, the worst fears did not come true. It's just that Daria Sagalov married a loved one - businessman Konstantin Maslennikov, gave birth to two daughters for him in turn, and is now carefully "building" a family nest. However, this does not mean that Daria has abandoned her job: for example, in the new season of "Culinary Star" she acts as a presenter.

Program " Taxi”Appeared on the TNT channel in 2005 - a taxi rides around Moscow and St. Petersburg, and the driver pays for the trip, not the passenger, for the fact that the passenger correctly answers the driver's questions.
This format of an intellectual show was invented in the UK, where the game is called Сash Cab.
In our " Taxi"behind the wheel of an English cab equipped for a mini-studio sits the presenter TNT Alexey Kulichkov; seeing the "voters" on the side of the road, he drives up and offers to get to the destination by "the power of thought."
Questions in the program " Taxi", depending on the complexity, they cost from 200 to 2000 rubles, the passenger can use the hint twice - call a friend or, getting out of the car, ask the first pedestrian for help, but as soon as the respondent makes a mistake three times, the cab will immediately stop and no luck further ...
In the summer of 2006 in " Taxi"An innovation was introduced - a super game, it is offered to those who were able to reach their destination, while saving at least one life. If the player answers correctly, the amount on his account doubles, but if he makes a mistake, then he has to say goodbye to the previously earned money.
Since January 2007 Taxi travels not only in Moscow - from time to time an English cab appears on the streets of St. Petersburg. In September 2008, an additional super hard question was added to the game using video.

There used to be a lot of people who were scared and refused to go, ”says the host of the Taxi program Alexei Kulichkov. - Now this is no longer - on the contrary, our "cab" is already specially caught, and I am very happy about that. For me, all passengers are the same in a good sense of the word, all are valuable to the program. After all, each person is not like the other and is therefore interesting. And here is the paradox: people who want to win money just get out of the car with nothing, and participants who often do not have one hundred percent knowledge, but are curious, gambling, not boring, are lucky in our program!

When the program "Taxi" got good ratings, its creators came up with sms-game "Taxi"- anyone can call the number 0955 and, answering questions, earn some amount - up to 10,000 rubles. The one who participated most actively in the SMS-game during the month receives a prize of 30,000 rubles.
