At the same time, the scoreboard changed: the multi-colored triangles were removed from the scoreboard and wide blue-red vertical stripes were installed; in 2000, the multi-colored triangles were returned again, and each square of the scoreboard was in a gold frame; a red-pink frill was attached to the top, which blinked with lights on which it was installed LED program logo in a blue frame, glowing gold and illuminated from the inside in blue. But when turning the letters over, it was noticeable that the board was illuminated from the inside with ordinary incandescent light bulbs. Until 2000, the scoreboard shimmered smoothly in blue. The triangles also began to glow. The inscription “Field of Miracles” previously located under the scoreboard on a blue background was replaced with three blue squares, inside of which, like color music, white LEDs played. The same decorative lanterns remained on the sides. The studio was quite dark. They also installed a drum with light bulbs on the sides: it looked like the 1993-1999 prototype, only much taller and one and a half times larger, with light bulbs along the outer and inner radii. The sector values were plotted quite large print, the color of the surface of the inner radius of the drum was, in fact, like the entire drum, black and white, but with very frequent stripes. The arrow was patterned and did not blink, the lights on the sides did not light up. On the black sectors there were red light bulbs, on the white ones - blue. The inner radius of the drum rose slightly above its surface, since the inner radius also had light bulbs. The drum rotated smoothly and for a long time, like its previous prototype.
On New Year's Eve from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000 in the episode “With the Residents of the Middle Ages,” the drum was changed (it can be seen at the beginning of the modern intro of the program): the points on the drum were printed in a smaller, more familiar font, and the arrow also changed. The color of the surface of the inner radius has also changed: it has become a more familiar wide black and white stripe.

The walls of the studio represented the night sky with twinkling stars. The scoreboard was the same size as in 1993-2001, it also had a frill with flickering lights and decorative lights on the sides. The only difference between this board and the old one was that it was entirely beige in color and without the program logo; moreover, when the winner chose prizes for the number of points scored, the board began to move apart to show the price list of prizes, completely in two, and not just the bottom part. The floor was laid with mirror tiles. The stairs down which the presenter, his assistants and players descended became blue, and running color music was visible through the stairs. The scenery of this studio was as close as possible to the program's screensaver. The drum also changed. It was light, spun quickly, but stopped abruptly. The drum had uncomfortable plastic handles, small yellow-blue sectors and a narrowing at the bottom. Multi-colored lights shone through the drum and lit up as it rotated.

Studio decoration

In 1996, the upholstery of the table at which the players stood changed from blue to dark blue, with stars and a characteristic pattern that decorated the entire studio, and at the same time the steps along which the presenter descended changed color from light blue to dark blue. Multi-colored triangles were placed on the scoreboard, and the program logo, written in pale pink paint, was placed under the scoreboard on a blue surface. A small luminous element was placed on the floor near the drum to provide a background when the image of the drum was shown from above. Decorative lanterns dotted with small white bulbs were placed on both sides of the scoreboard. Since that time, the super-game has used constant “minutes to think” music, while from 1991 until the change of musical design there was (as much as possible) silence until 1994. In this year, a melody for reflection began to sound for the first time.

Since 1992, the drum has remained the same, but slightly modified. In the center of the drum there was a small tip resembling the point of a pike. The arrow has changed, but remains on the drum. Instead of the rod, which played the role of a brake, they attached an ordinary plastic strip, similar in size to the rod. The drum rotated a little faster, one handle was missing, one had a completely different knob (with a black ball, but smaller). In mid-1992, the sectors on the same drum were re-glued to colored ones. The maximum number of points increased to 450, the minimum to 10. Since the fall of 1992, the reel was changed again, the color scheme of the sectors remained the same, there is now not one “Prize” sector on the reel, but three, the “Alternative” sector was removed, the number of points has now increased minimum 75, maximum 750.

In mid-1993, a new drum was installed, which was 2 times smaller than the previous one, with low vertical handles, the maximum number of points was 750, the minimum was 100; the arrow was already away from the drum and was a small blue triangle. At the tip of the arrow there was an elastic band as a continuation of the arrow, which slightly slowed down the drum. If the brake was on one sector, and the arrow pointed to the adjacent one, then the sector to which the brake pointed was counted. The drum rotated much more slowly, quickly stopping and swaying quite strongly due to the fact that it was very heavy: when they showed how many points had fallen (the camera showed a close-up of the sector to which the arrow was pointing), you could see how the drum vibrated.

Since January 1994, the arrow shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow. On May 5, 1995, in an issue dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War with the participation of its veterans, other handles were placed on the drum, essentially the same vertical, but taller and gold-plated, the inner diameter of the drum became smaller, thereby ensuring lengthening of gaming sectors, and visual expansion of the reel. The height of the drum was reduced (thereby making it lighter), so the drum rotated for a very long time and smoothly from a weak push. Since the reel rotated for a very long time, the presenter could now communicate with the players longer. The arrow was placed back on the drum.

Until 1997, the arrow on the drum symbolically caught the vertical handles of the drum, but did not slow it down at all. In 1997, the arrow was shortened so that it points exactly to the sector that fell to the player. For some time in 1997, when a player started to spin the reel, the spin theme song would continue to play where it left off (as it did from 1993 to 1995), i.e. it would not start playing again.

In the fall of 1999, some intermediate chords were cut from the drum melody, thereby making it shorter as the drum began to stop faster.

At the end of 1999, they installed a drum with light bulbs on the sides: the drum looked like the prototype of 1993-1999, only much higher and one and a half times larger, with light bulbs along the outer and inner radii. In 1999, the sector values were printed on the drum in a fairly large font; the color of the surface of the inner radius of the drum was, in fact, like the entire drum, black and white, but with very frequent stripes. The arrow was patterned and did not blink, the lights on the sides did not light up. The black sectors had red lights, and the white ones had blue lights. The inner radius of the drum rose slightly above its surface, since the inner radius also had light bulbs. The drum rotated smoothly and for a long time, like its previous prototype.

On New Year's Eve from 1999 to 2000, in the episode “With the Residents of the Middle Ages,” the drum was changed (it can be seen at the beginning of the modern program intro): the points on the drum were printed in a smaller, more familiar font, and the arrow also changed. The color of the surface of the inner radius has also changed: it has become a more familiar wide black and white stripe. The reel lights began to play rhythmically, at different speeds, when the prize was taken out and rotated - quickly, in the normal state - slowly. The arrow also blinked. The drum began to rotate approximately the same as under Listyev.

On December 7, 2001 the drum was changed. It was light, spun quickly, but stopped abruptly. The drum had uncomfortable plastic handles, small yellow-blue sectors and a narrowing at the bottom. Multi-colored lights shone through the drum and lit up as it rotated. Unlike all the drums that were generally in the program, including the present, this one was not solid: the drum itself was in a stationary cylinder. The drum arrow was a small pink triangle attached to the frill of the drum.

On November 3, 2005 (for the 15th anniversary), a drum was installed in a predominantly blue color scheme with patterns on the sides and blue and white sectors. The bottom of the drum is patterned and glows blue from the inside. The surface of the drum itself is flat, its diameter is slightly larger than the bottom of the drum, so the drum is somewhat reminiscent of a dining table (although recently the drum has only served as a table). There is a gold star in the center of the drum. The maximum number of points is 1000, the minimum is 350. The drum is heavy, and lately there have been a variety of things on it, mainly fruits and sweets, which are in small baskets. The drum is fully loaded with them, only the sectors with the image of glasses are visible, so it is difficult to rotate, it spins slowly and stops quickly. Instead of the usual vertical handles there are silver balls. The arrow is to the side of the drum, but at the same time attached to it from below, the tip of the arrow is a large golden triangle. On December 30, 2009, in the 1000th program “Field of Miracles,” there was a large cake on the drum with the inscription “Happy New Year.” For release on April 1, 2011, all sectors were re-glued to yellow and blue.

On May 20, 2011, the drum sound changed again to what it was from 1996 to 1999. The musical design stopped playing music, which was a variation of the theme in which super prizes were awarded.

Program design

Screensaver

In 1990, there was no screensaver; only the manufacturer's screensaver was shown - VID.

In 1991, the screensaver consisted of the following: first appeared bright stripes, forming squares, then a light green surface appeared, divided into 35 squares. Every second figures appeared, then the inscription “ Field of Miracles " After this, the surface narrowed and rose up, then dropped, changing color to gray, in the same form downwards, behind the inscription. Then the background color changed from black to asphalt, and the inscription “K A P I T A L S H O U” appeared in letters.

Towards the end of 1992, the screensaver was improved. From this time until the year 2000, bright stripes quickly moved parallel to each other, thus forming a field of 35 even squares. Further, the field became three-dimensional, gaining volume (and becoming like a chocolate bar), and was grayish-white in color. Under a peculiar slurping sound (until 1993 - a dull noise reminiscent of muffled applause), three-dimensional colored symbols were lowered onto the field various forms, each character ended up occupying one square. Then the main one sounded musical motive screensaver, under it a field of squares flew into the air, rose, and against its background in pink letters it was written “ Field of Miracles " When the phrase was completely written, the letters became translucent. (Before 1993, the music began only after the completion of the phrase). Then the field flew off the screen (the music continued), and soon returned, turning over reverse side, which is a regular gray square. At this time, the black background of the screensaver changed to dark gray, reminiscent of asphalt. The square was lowered behind the words “Field of Miracles”, and then the phrase “CAPITAL SHO U” appeared in letters under the resulting composition. The musical design of this screensaver changed slightly in 1993.

In 1991, after advertising and before the super game, a blue paper with the word “Field of Miracles of the Capital Show” arrived. From 1992 to 1995, advertisements were preceded by a splash screen with bouncing silver letters and a silver square frame on a black background under two sharp notes.

From 1996 to 2000, after advertising in the program's screensaver, the game reel rotated, the camera approached it so that the points on the sectors were not visible. With each new sector, under one ringing note, letters appeared that formed the words “ Field of Miracles" At last change sector, a golden frame appeared, which, like a square from an old screensaver, fell into the background.

The screensaver, used since December 29, 2000, shows the game studio and a flying spinning reel. An image of Yakubovich is formed from stars on the screen. Then the word “Field of Miracles” is lit in letters and below, in letters, the phrase “K A P I T A L S H O U”. All this happens to a shortened version of the music from the first intro, and it sounds twice, first in jazz style, then when the letters light up - in standard. .

Musical arrangement

IN latest issue 1995 introduced a new musical design, new melody drum, almost the same as the previous one, but with softened sounds. Since the drum spun for a very long time from 1995 to 2000, after about the first minute, a melody was inserted into the melody, at which pointers for super prizes were displayed. They changed the melody when the first three came out. We changed the sounds of the sectors (jingles) of the unknown letter. The sounds of an empty and money box were introduced. The melody changed when the super prize signs were brought out and placed on the drum. The melody of “minutes to think” appeared. The sound of the prize being taken out was replaced, but as before, when the prize was taken out, and when the box was guessed, and when the word was guessed, the same melody was played, reminiscent of VID's fanfare.

Sector screensavers

From 1996 to 2000, the screensavers of the sectors “Prize”, “0”, “Bankrupt”, “x2”, “+” changed. They appeared at the moment when the sector fell to the player. Close up it was shown how the arrow stops on a particular sector. Then, from the designation of the sector, a square seemed to fly out, which then stretched across the entire screen; during stretching, a box with the inscription “Field of Miracles” appeared in the square, which then fell down, at this moment, when the screen saver itself stretched across the entire screen, the box turned over and under a rhythmic sound jumps out of it as one or another letter designating the sector on the game reel (Prize - P, Million - M, Bankrupt - B). .

In January 1998, the “Million” sector was renamed the “Capital” sector (due to monetary denomination); at first it did not have a splash screen. When the “Key” sector was placed on the reel in 1999, it also had a splash screen.

From 2000 to 2003, the sector screensavers changed: “Prize”, “0”, “Bankrupt”, “x2”, “+” and “Chance” flew from colored triangles on a dark blue background, and the loss of sector “0” was accompanied by a sound opening the plug.

Super game screensaver

From 1992 to 1995, the screensaver of the super game showed super prizes in a square and the words “Field of Miracles.”

From 1996 to 2000, the super game's screensaver changed. The square with the word “Field of Miracles” began to rotate quickly, after stopping, “Super Game” was already written in the square. At 02:18.

From 2000 to 2011, the super game screensaver changed: we see the word “Super” written in lilac letters on the top line, and the word “Game” formed by lit light bulbs on the bottom line.

From 2011 to the present, the same splash screen is used as from 2000 to 2011, but with music from the splash screen of the 1996-2000 super game.

Rules of the game

The game takes place in three rounds, each of which involves 3 players.

The presenter thinks of a word (rarely a phrase) indicated on the scoreboard, and during the course of the game gives guiding hints.

In the early 1990s, there was an “insurance” that consisted of the following: participants named an “accident” (for example: the “Bankrupt” sector fell out twice in a row, not a single correct letter was named, a move was not completed at all, etc.), and , if something happened to the participant that he was “insurable” against, he received a cash prize.

Players take turns spinning the reel. Sectors with different number points that the player will receive if he guesses the letter or special sectors:

Prize (P)- the player can choose: to continue the game or drop out of it, but receive a prize hidden in a black box. The host bargains with the player for a prize, which can be any thing: from car keys to a pumpkin. 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 received a sector with 2000 points.
Plus (+)- the player can open any letter in the account (if this letter appears several times, then all of them are opened).
Chance (Sh)- the player can call the phone (the number is given by a random viewer in the studio) to get an answer or a hint. If the person at the other end of the line answers correctly, they will send him a prize. If a player refuses this sector, it is considered that he got a sector with 1500 points. Currently, the “Chance” sector is displayed on the reel with the image of a telephone.
Key- the player is given 5 keys, one of which is for the car. The player selects one of these keys and tries to open the car door with its help. If the key fits, the player takes the car, if not, he continues to play. Moreover, you can refuse this sector, and then the presenter offers 2000 points for the guessed letter. But if a player uses a sector and chooses the wrong key, then the turn goes to another player. 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, and the turn passes to the next player. If the “Bankrupt” sector appears twice, the player is given an incentive prize.
Zero (0)- the points scored do not expire, but the move is transferred to another player.
x2- the player’s points are doubled if he names the letter correctly (if there are two letters, then it is tripled, if there are three, it is multiplied by 4, etc.)
- At the end of 1991, the drum used a sector Fant (F), the player fulfilled the leader's wishes.
- Since February 1992 there was a sector Alternative (A), the player was given a word of 6 letters, the player threw the dice 6 times, the dropped number meant the letter in the account that should open, and after that the player had to name the word in order to play further. If he did not say this word, the move was passed to the next player.
- IN new year time sector was used New Year with a snowflake on the drum.
- Also from 1993 to 2001 there was a sector Capital (K)(before the monetary denomination in 1998 it was called Million (M)), when the player was given two bags: one with bagels, the other with money, and he chose the one that, as he believed, contained three million rubles (after denomination - three thousand rubles). If a player chose a bag with bagels, then he took the bagels and the turn passed from him to another player, if a bag with money, then he took the money, and he still had the right to move, while the participant could name any letter.
- In 1998-2001 the sector was used Scoreboard (T), the player opened special squares on the scoreboard, hoping to find a prize. (Sometimes there are also sectors from sponsors, when they appear, prizes are awarded)
- Also from December 1995 to 1997 the sector was used Unistroy, to be able to get new apartment, and in the thousandth issue, released on December 30, 2009, there was a sector Nescafe- new sponsor of the program.
- In the November 23, 2012 issue, the sector was used Continent. The main prize was a TV.

There were also games based on Field of Miracles, written for the Dendy console. There were two versions of the game, the first was released in 1995, the playing field was pink, there was no presenter, the musical accompaniment (melody of drum rotation) was copied from the game Duck Hunt, and in the “Bankrupt” sector the losing melody from the game Wild Gunman sounded. The second version was written already in 1997 and received a number of improvements, now you play on a black background, more new words to guess, and a two-player game mode. What was interesting about this version was that when you guessed a letter, Mario appeared and opened the letter.

Another game based on Field of Miracles was called “Fortune”, developed by BBG corp. in collaboration with Alexander Chudov. It was notable for its high complexity. A player, having completed the entire game, could win a million, but so far no winner has been found. Also, each cartridge had its own serial number.

Parodies

On March 17, 2012, in the “Yesterday Live” program, a parody of the third screensaver (2000-present) was filmed, where the opening song sounded in the screensaver: “Dances, poems, lezginka, masquerade, a bunch of banal bullshit, and the show is where - then 20 years ago it was intellectual,” and the screensaver went to at a slow pace, and a shortened version of the music from the screensavers of 1991-1992 and 1992-2000 was played twice.
In 1992, in the program “Oba-Na!” “a parody of “Field of Miracles” was shown, where the presenter of the real show - Yakubovich - in the real “Field of Miracles” studio presented drunkards, who were Ugolnikov, Voskresensky and Fomenko.
In one of the episodes of the “Gentleman Show” program, a parody of the “Field of Miracles” called “Bullet of Miracles” was shown, where the players played

More details

TV show plot:

"Field of Miracles" was invented and brought to life famous journalist Vladislav Listyev, having seen several episodes of a similar American program “Wheel of Fortune”. He also became the first host of the capital show.

The game “Field of Miracles” takes place in three rounds, each of which involves 3 players. The presenter thinks of a word (rarely a phrase) indicated on the scoreboard, and during the course of the game gives guiding hints. Players take turns spinning the reel. Sectors with different numbers of points may appear on the reel, which the player will receive if they guess the letter, or special sectors (“Chance”, “Plus”, “Bankrupt”, “Prize”, etc.). Next, the player names the letter of the alphabet that he believes is present in the hidden word. If there is such a letter, then it opens on the scoreboard, and the player receives the dropped number of points (if there are several such letters, they all open and points are awarded for each), and can spin the reel again. If a player guesses the whole word, he can name it on his turn. If the answer is incorrect, the turn goes to the next player. The winner of each round advances to the final, and the participant who wins the final is invited to play a super game.

The popularity rating of this capital show has broken, is breaking and continues to break all records. There is probably not a person in our country who has not heard about the “Field of Miracles”. This unique television project still attracts a huge audience to the screen like a magnet. Many are simply amazed at how many years “Field of Miracles” has stayed afloat, becoming one of the top rating shows. After all huge amount Modern entertainment programs do not have even a fraction of the popularity that the “people's” capital show has. And everything in it is very simple: shine with your intellect and receive “fairytale prizes” for it. You’re simply amazed at how many years “Field of Miracles” has been making a person a little happier. And today many people want to take part in the program and spin the drum with their own hands. What is the secret of the success of this project, which is so loved by the Russian audience? Let's consider this issue in more detail.

Historical background

The first episode of the capital show was released back in 1990. Its authors were the famous journalist Vlad Listyev and the ex-general director of the ORT television channel Anatoly Lysenko.

Initially it was assumed that this would be an analogue American project"Wheel of Fortune". When the creators were on one of their business trips abroad, they accidentally watched this entertainment program. Soon they were already discussing the idea of a Russian version of the Wheel of Fortune. We couldn’t even imagine how many years “Field of Miracles” would bring smiles and give joy ordinary people. Absolutely everyone plays it: teachers, doctors, milkmaids, tractor drivers, firefighters, police officers and others. There are no territorial boundaries for the project: people living in the most different corners countries.

The presenter is the key to the success of the program

The game “Field of Miracles” has largely become popular thanks to the well-chosen presenter. Initially, it was the creator of the capital show - Vlad Listyev. However, after some time, the journalist had other television projects, and there was less and less time left for the “Field of Miracles”. As a result, the decision was made to appoint someone else to the role of presenter.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Listyev chose the candidate. First, the “auctioneer” took time to think, and then agreed. Of course, in the first programs he felt, in his own words, not quite at ease, but then he got used to his role so much that it became clear to the viewer: the game “Field of Miracles” and Leonid Yakubovich are inextricable concepts. And Vlad Listyev himself well understood that one of the components of the success of a television capital show is a charismatic presenter, which was Leonid Arkadyevich. For Russians, he has become a people's favorite, because his charm, kindness and humor can win over anyone. In the program, he was and is being assisted by bright models who open the solved letters and words on the board and present prizes to the winners.

It is noteworthy that in October 1992 the “Field of Miracles” program was broadcast for the hundredth time, and it was there that the funny case. The episode was filmed in In the finale of the capital show, the winner did not receive the coveted car, as a hint from the audience sounded in the hall.

The presenter was forced to change the task, the offender was removed, and the finalist was unable to answer new question. However, Leonid Arkadyevich showed nobility and left all the prizes he won.

Good capital show

Of course, the viewing audience who has not missed a single episode (and there are many such fans of the project beloved by Russians) knows how many years “Field of Miracles” recently celebrated. Yes, the program celebrated a quarter-century anniversary. One of its creators, Anatoly Lysenko, commented on the success of his “brainchild”: “Today, “Field of Miracles” has become a habit. This capital show has become a home friend who regularly visits, sometimes slightly indignant, but when you feel his absence, you feel a lack of something. There is no harm from “Field of Miracles”; on the contrary, this program is kind and sincere. This is very rare on television these days. A huge credit for the fact that the capital show lives and prospers belongs to its permanent presenter, Leonid Yakubovich.”

“There is such a letter!”

For the anniversary of the show “Field of Miracles” (25 years) on Channel One, it was released documentary“There is such a letter!”

Over the entire period of existence of this entertainment program More than 74,000 prizes, about 100 cars and 20 apartments were awarded. Decorations, gifts, treats on the drum - everything is real. And one gets the feeling that this holiday will exist indefinitely, as long as people are ready to travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers in order to give a jar of honey, sing, dance and kiss the presenter on his thick mustache.

One of the most popular programs on Russian television- “Field of Miracles.”

On October 25, 1990, the television program was broadcast for the first time "Field of Miracles"– just like today, the capital show was released on the “first button”. The authors of the program were Vladislav Listyev, who from the beginning until his death played the game, and Alexey Murmulev. The first director of the project was Ivan Demidov. The program is produced by the television company "VID" to this day.

The TV game “Field of Miracles” is the Russian analogue of the American television program "Wheel of Fortune". Vladislav Listyev took the name for the capital show from a fairy tale Alexei Tolstoy "The Golden Key, or the Adventures of Pinocchio."

Today the permanent presenter of “Field of Miracles” is Leonid Yakubovich, who has held this post since November 1, 1991, becoming one of the symbols of the project. Thus, Leonid Yakubovich’s phrases at the “Field of Miracles” game: “Prize to the studio!” or “The main prize is a car” have become popular, as has the recognizable manner of pronouncing them - stretching out the consonants and deliberately solemnly. The presenter also has assistants, for example, girls who open letters on the scoreboard, whose names viewers do not know.

RULES

The rules of the game are very simple: three rounds involve three people each, the winners of the rounds compete in the final game, and the winner, if they win the super game, receives the main prize. It’s very simple to become a participant in the “Field of Miracles” game: to do this, you need to send some original crossword puzzle to the editor of the program. The game is played by both adults and children, firefighters, milkmaids, police officers, teachers, war veterans, artists - everyone who knows Russian letters and words.

Watch “Field of Miracles” on Channel One every Friday at 20:00

FACTS

In 1992, when the program was already hosted by Yakubovich, in one of the episodes, when the game with the audience was about to begin, Vlad Listyev appeared with a message about the theft of the film. This is the only program in which only the first, second and third rounds were recorded.
On January 6, 2009, a record was set: the participant scored 13,654 points, and she won the super game.
On May 8, 2015, in a special episode dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Second World War, the player scored 0 points, but Yakubovich gave him 9000 points. The participant took all the prizes in the price list, agreed to play a super game and won a car by guessing all three words.
In one of the 1992 episodes, a participant won a super game by naming the letter O from the possible letters. As a result, the word OOOO was revealed - Gogol’s first pseudonym.
Interestingly, the recording of one episode of "Field of Dreams", which lasts 52 minutes, usually lasts more than three hours. During one shooting day, several “Field of Miracles” programs are usually filmed.
“Field of Miracles” received two statuettes “ "- in 1995 in the nomination “Best Host of an Entertainment Program” and in 1999 – in the nomination “Host of an Entertainment Program”.
In 2015, a documentary film was made to mark the 25th anniversary of the television program "There is such a letter", which was shown on October 25, 2015.

MUSEUM
