Participants are often visited by celebrity guests: Nathan, Dzhigan, members of the group “City 312”.

There are no conflicts on the project yet, as well as strong friendship or romantic relationships. All manufacturers try to support each other. Myself Victor Drobysh Over the past episodes I have already managed to save one of the participants from elimination. It was an exceptional case general producer"White Media" Yulia Sumacheva confirmed: more on "New Star Factory" there will be no salvation.

Victor Drobysh summarized after the third episode of the show: “Of course, “New Star Factory” is very different from previous seasons, because more than ten years have passed - an entire generation has changed. Those who watched the project before are now performing on the stage of the project themselves. And those who were born at that time are now watching “The New Star Factory.” This generation says “next” instead of “further”, and “well” instead of “okay”. They know how it is in America and how it is in China. The Internet has done its job - these guys are very developed. But, fortunately, they have little experience, so they have a lot to learn from us. Without us, they are still nothing. Music, as always, has been divided into good and bad, and continues to be divided. And to this day, Sony Music is headed by old man Doug Morris, who knows everything and tells rappers how to sound. Fortunately, everything remains in place and it seems to me that we have a very beautiful, productive story for the third week.”

As a result, several people ended up in the project (seasons 1, 2, 3 - 16 people; seasons 6, 10 - 17 people; seasons 4 and 5 - 18 people). Initially, 14 people entered the seventh season of the project, and two more participants (a boy and a girl) were chosen by the audience from six applicants at the first reporting concert.

The guys are moved into the Star House, where everything that happens is filmed around the clock hidden cameras. Participants are not allowed to have Cell phones and musical equipment.

The fate of the applicants was decided during the reporting concerts. One of the candidates is “saved” by Channel One viewers via SMS voting, the second is left in the project by his comrades, and the third leaves the Star House forever. True, there were precedents when a retiring participant was retained in the project artistic director or music producer by using the right of veto.

The winner of the project received a contract to record a disc or another similar prize. The project lasts about 3-4 months.

“Star Factory” by Igor Matvienko

First place – group “Roots”

The guys from the “Roots” group, who took first place, were predicted to have a bright future. At first, they really kept the bar and were in great demand: they toured Russia, recorded soundtracks for films and TV series. But by 2010, popularity began to decline and the group broke up, and popular hits are heard only at school discos.

Lesha Kabanov and Sasha Berdnikov today are exemplary family men, Pasha Artemyev continues to make music and even created his own indie group ARTEMIEV, and Sasha Astashenok managed to appear in films, although especially significant roles he was not observed.

Second place – group “Factory”

But the girl band “Factory”, which took second place, managed to break through to fame. The debut album “Factory Girls” went on sale in 2004. The entire circulation was sold out in a few days. Irina, Alexandra and Sati continued to record new compositions and star in videos. A year later, such songs as “It’s not my fault” and “He” were released. The compositions instantly became real hits. Even producer Igor Matvienko did not expect such success. During their career, the “factory girls” released 3 studio albums, 22 singles and 16 videos. They gave hundreds of concerts in major cities Russia and CIS countries. They have six Golden Gramophone awards to their name.

Until now, the “factory girls” delight fans with regular performances, however, only Alexandra Savelyeva and Irina Toneva remain from the old lineup. Sati Casanova left the group in 2010, and her place was taken by former member Hi-Fi groups Katya Lee.

As for the girls’ personal lives, everything is in perfect order. Irina Toneva married 27-year-old dancer from Ukraine Alexey Brizh, and Alexandra Savelyeva is very happily married to actor Kirill Safonov, but Sati Casanova has not yet arranged personal life.

Third place – Mikhail Grebenshchikov

Third place in the project was taken by Mikhail Grebenshchikov, about whom nothing has been heard for a very long time. After “Star Factory,” the singer released only a couple of songs that were successful, but despite this, things didn’t go any further.

Misha has matured and no longer sings about “loaves, they’re rolls.” But now Grebenshchikov is an employee of the Ministry of Arts and a teacher at Alla Pugacheva’s children’s school.

“Star Factory” by Maxim Fadeev

First place – Polina Gagarina

Everyone dreams of repeating the success of Polina Gagarina. The singer took first place at the second Star Factory, made a brilliant solo career, took second place at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2015, and became a mentor in popular show“The Voice” on Channel One and finally became a happy wife and mother of two children.

In addition to everything listed above, Polina also changed dramatically in appearance and became simply beautiful. At the beginning of her career, the artist looked completely different, and then, unexpectedly for everyone, she lost weight, changed her image and began to prefer other outfits, which only benefited her. Today Gagarina is a real style icon.

Second place – Elena Terleeva

After completing her participation in the “Factory” show, Elena Terleeva threw herself into her studies: she intensively studied vocals, choreography and managed to work in jazz bands. After graduation music university in 2005, Elena met composer Alex Prusov and began preparing her first solo project, which included the songs “Between Me and You” and “Drop.”

Even the Moscow government appreciated the creativity of the aspiring star and awarded him the title “Golden Voice of Russia.” In 2005, Terleeva managed to become one of the contenders for participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. And two years later, she pleased fans with new hits: “Sun” and “Love Me”, for the first of which the singer received many awards: an award from the Golden Gramophone, laureate at the Song of the Year - 2007 competition.

Despite significant success, the girl was not completely satisfied with her life, because she always dreamed of performing in the jazz genre, but such music is not in great demand in Russia. For some time, Maxim Fadeev continued to promote the performer, but their joint collaboration was no longer so successful. Elena released several more songs, but her performances no longer caused the same sensation.

Third place – Elena Temnikova

The creative destiny of Elena Temnikova was more enviable than that of her namesake. Largely thanks to the provocative Serebro group, created under the leadership of Max Fadeev. In addition to Elena Temnikova, the ensemble included Marina Lizorkina and Olya Seryabkina. In May 2007, the girl group’s first single, “Song#1,” was released on the Monolith Records label. It was with this composition that the Serebro trio went to Eurovision. As a result, the group representing Russia took 3rd place at the competition in Helsinki. In April 2009, Serebro’s debut album, “Opium Roz,” went on sale.

Both the release and the tour that followed in support of it turned out to be successful, but already in December information appeared that Temnikova was leaving the project. The reason for this was the singer’s conflict with Max Fadeev: the producer was dissatisfied with the romance between Lena and his younger brother Artem. However, then the artist still remained in the group. IN composed of Serebro she released the album "Mama Lover" in 2011. The most famous songs from it were “Mama Lyuba” and “Mi Mi Mi”. At the beginning of 2014, Elena Temnikova, due to emerging health problems, terminated her contract with Fadeev ahead of schedule, paying a large penalty.

After leaving Serebro, the singer took up solo career. In November 2014, she recorded the song “Addiction”, and in 2015 – the singles “Towards” and “Let’s Fly Away”. The last song, “Jealousy,” appeared in February 2016. In parallel with musical creativity Lena is trying her hand at television, creating designer jewelry for the Marmalato chain of stores.

First place – Nikita Malinin

Many participants in “Star Factory 3” did not like Nikita Malinin. They were sure that the guy got into the project thanks to famous father.

And several of his songs: “Kitten”, “Flash in the Night”, “Spring” became real hits. But Malinin’s popularity ended along with the project.

Rumor has it that the whole point is the producer of “Factory”, who immediately after the end of the broadcast ceased to be interested in his charges. Although, judging by Instagram, Nikita still sings, performs, gives concerts and records new tracks, but on big stage Apparently it's impossible to get through.

Second place – Alexander Kireev

Now Kireev is better known as a composer of songs by Natalia Podolskaya. Sasha also hosted a program on the Carousel channel. He is also a member of the Russian Authors' Society and is involved in production activities.

Third place – Yulia Mikhalchik

To participate in “Star Factory - 3,” Yulia dropped out of university, but the game was worth the candle, because she managed to take third place on the project, thereby earning three videos, one album and a husband in the form of the show’s producer, Alexander Shulgin, from the judges as a gift! With which, by the way, nothing worked out for her.

Thus, singer Yulia Mikhalchik ascended to the Olympus of modern show business, but could not stay there. Sometimes the singer tries to release new compositions, but they do not become popular.
