The new humorous evening show “Moscow Nights” was produced by Ivan Urgant, who, as we know, has a good sense of humor. This means that the new project must be successful. Helping Urgant in the difficult task of producing a new TV show is Andrei Boltenko, one of the authors of the projects “Two Stars”, “King of the Ring”, “Star Factory” and others.

The winnings - 500 thousand rubles - go to the team captain

ESSENCE OF THE COMPETITION

"Moscow Nights" is an adaptation of the American format Hollywood Game Night. In the Russian version, we will see a competitive game show where teams consisting of celebrities must take part in different games. Each team will have three participants, as well as its own captain, who is chosen from “the people”: they will be ordinary television viewers selected by the editors of the show. The winning team receives 500 thousand rubles - a small amount for a celebrity, so according to the rules of the game it goes to the team captain. The main idea of ​​the project is to put celebrities in idiotic situations, after all, competitions are like selection, one is more beautiful than the other, where "Crocodile"– the most harmless thing, if you believe the stars’ posts on their social network microblogs.

Release of each program "Moscow Nights" lasts 45 minutes of airtime. Viewers, by the way, can also take part in the show - guessing, solving problems and, of course, rooting for their favorites.

“Each episode is unique, so if you want to take note of competitions, it makes sense not to miss a single one. Well, where else will you see Urgant with his hands tied behind his back in desperate attempts to touch the button on his jacket,” shared Ivan Urgant.

WHO WILL WE SEE?

Ivan Urgant This is his first time as a producer and he hopes that this experience will be successful for him. “I am the producer of this program, not the presenter. The number of programs that I have been hosting on Channel One for the last few years is near a critical point, I am carefully monitoring this - I wouldn’t want to go over the edge,” Urgant emphasized.

A charming duo was chosen to host “Moscow Evenings” “The Zaitsev Sisters” Roman Yunusov and Alexey Likhnitsky - residents Comedy Club. First shooting of the new project of Channel One

"Moscow Nights"- an entertaining sparkling game show airing on Channel One on Saturdays at 23:50. It is a copy of the American program “Hollywood Game Night”. The TV programs are hosted by Roman Yunusov and Alexey Likhnitsky. The creators of this project are the team of the show “Evening Urgant”, in particular, the producer of “Moscow Evenings” was Ivan Urgant.

Format and structure

Two teams of four players each (three celebrities and one regular member who is the team captain) play fun games to win 500 thousand rubles. If they win any amount, the stars donate their portion of the money to a charitable foundation, and the captain takes the rest for himself.

Each episode features five games. In any game, teams earn points; the number of points awarded is constantly different (from one to five).

At the end of all five games, the team with the most points wins, which allows it to advance to the super game, in which the main prize is awarded. For the final game, the captain chooses his favorite star from any team as his partner. The partner must explain the names of the celebrities to the captain.

Games

Catomatograph

This competition is played by one participant from each team. The screen shows fragments from domestic films, where the characters have cat heads instead of their heads. The players' task is to guess what kind of movie it is. After the correct answer the pair changes.

Cheerful sapper

Participants come out one at a time and pull out cards with tasks from a certain category from a bowl of tinsel. The players’ task is to open the card, quickly look at the word, and explain to their team. After the team guesses this word, the participant throws away this card and moves the cup to his opponent. The one on whose side the cup “explodes” loses. After each “explosion” the participants change. The game continues until the next “explosion”. For each word guessed, the team receives one point. The time of the “explosion” is unknown.

Back to back

Both teams play at once. The captains remain on the sofas, the participants' hands are tied (first in front of their faces and then behind their backs) and they stand in a line. The players' task is to explain to the captains words from a certain category. If neither captain guesses the word within 20 seconds, both participants return to the queue and the next pair tries to explain the other word.

No need to la-la

The team’s task in this competition is to guess the song that the captain sings using a certain sound (for example, woof, oink, puff, caw, meow, quack, and so on). The one who guessed it himself takes the place of the captain and shows the song to his teammates using the same sound. One sound for the whole team. Each team is given 90 seconds. Each correct answer is worth two points.

It's written on the forehead

The whole team participates in this game. Participants wear special glasses with a word from a given category written on top. Three participants line up in front of the fourth, one after another. The fourth player's task is to explain to the partner standing in front of him the word that is written on his forehead. As soon as the correct answer is pronounced, the fourth participant who made the guess runs to the end of the line, and the one who guessed who he is takes the place of the guesser. He explains to the next person in line what is written on his forehead. When explaining, you cannot use words with the same root. Each team is given 90 seconds. For each correct answer, the team receives five points.

Chronology

Teams play in turns. In 90 seconds, the player must arrange six pictures in chronological order from a certain category. If the team believes that the chronology has been compiled correctly, they need to press a button, time stops, and the presenters say how many matches were made. If there is time left, the team will continue to arrange pictures. This will continue until time runs out or everything is arranged correctly.

Eh, EVMovna!

This competition is played by one participant from each team. Players need to guess the song, the lines of which will be sung by a soulless computer voice. The one who first guesses what kind of song it is presses the button and gives his answer. If a participant gives the wrong answer, then the right to guess passes to his opponent. If both answered incorrectly, the computer voice will continue to quote the words from the song. After one pair correctly guesses the name of the song, the participants change. One point is given for each correct answer.

All agree

A word or set of words appears on the screen, from which all the vowels have been removed, and the remaining consonants are combined into one word. The task of the player located near the button is to guess as quickly as possible what kind of word is encrypted. If the answer is not born, the consonant letters are divided into separate words and it becomes much easier to guess, or the presenters give a hint. In case of an incorrect answer, the right to guess passes to the opponent.

Playing blind

The team is deprived of the opportunity to see for a while, the participants are given one letter in their hands. The players' task is to hear the question and, passing letters to each other, form the correct answer to the question. The game lasts 90 seconds. For correct answers, the team receives two points. After each question, the letters (one or more) change.

Weak link

The team captain must use words and gestures to explain to his teammates the words that appear on the screen behind the team. Once a player guesses a word, he must name his own and list all the previous answers in the chain that the participants said before him, in the correct order. If one of the team forgets the words that came before him, the rest of the participants can remind him of these answers with gestures. For each correct answer in the chain, five points are given. The game lasts 90 seconds.

QWERTY

Russian words or expressions that were printed in Latin alphabet appear on the screen. The players' task is to guess what word is encrypted on the screen using computer keyboards. The game is played in pairs. As soon as the player guesses the word, he presses the button and answers; if the answer is correct, the team receives two points. In case of an incorrect answer, the opponent receives these two points.

Show me the song baby

Three players from one team (all except the captain), using gestures, dances, and facial expressions, try to explain to their captain the songs performed by the Jukebox Trio group. The team captain is wearing headphones and his task is to guess what song it is. If the captain cannot guess the song, then you can skip it and move on to the next one. Each team has two minutes. For a correct answer, the team receives two points.

In other words

One player from each team participates. A card with a famous phrase from a Russian film is shown, and the one who presses the button first must explain this phrase to the team in completely different words within 15 seconds. For each correct answer, one point is given; if there is no correct answer, the opponent receives a point.

Smile, gentlemen, smile!

This game is played by two teams at the same time. The names of literary works are encrypted on the screen using emoji pictures. If someone guesses what kind of work it is, their task is to quickly press a button and say the name. For a correct answer, two points are awarded; in case of an incorrect answer, the points go to the opponent.

Guess the 4th word

There are seven images with questions in front of the team player. The player's task is to, with the help of a team, put the correct number on each picture within 90 seconds. An additional complication is that there are seven pictures and nine numbers. In this game, one point is given for each correct answer.

Tu beep or not tu beep

Teams play with their full strength. A category is announced, and the presenters take turns reading, supposedly, the answers to this category. The first one to guess runs to the button and presses it. If the answer is correct, then the team eliminates one participant from the opposing team. If the answer is incorrect, then the one who said it leaves the team sofa for a while. The game continues until one team is completely empty.

Personality in a cube

The whole team participates in this game. Each player receives a dice. The team's task is to hear a question and correctly assemble the answer from cubes that form the image of a famous person. Each team is given two minutes. For each correct answer, the team receives two points.

Husband and wife - one...

Both teams compete, one participant from each. Two participants must guess the star pair made from a mixed portrait. One point is given for each correct answer.

How much will you give?

Competition-lottery. Photos of celebrities appear on the screen. The players' task is to accurately determine their age. Teams take turns participating. For each correct answer two points.

Got the hint

The team captain stands with his back to the screen. The team's task is to explain the words to the captain. All participants give clues strictly in turn and strictly one word at a time. You can’t say two or more words, you can’t say words with the same root, you can’t point with your hands. Each team has 90 seconds, and three points are awarded for each correct answer.

One person for two

The rules of this game are exactly the same as in the game “Husband and Wife - One...”. The difference is that in this competition you need to guess not a married couple, but a creative union of celebrities.

Cinema in a cube

The rules of this game are exactly the same as in the game « Personality in a cube » . Only now each cube has parts of the movie titles written on it. The players' task is to stand in the correct sequence with the correct side of the cube to spell out the title of the movie.

Little Repins

A pair of players from opposing teams have to guess which celebrity's portrait was drawn by little children. For each correct answer, the team receives two points.

Drunk karaoke

This competition is played by one participant from each team. The players' task is to guess the last line from the song, deliberately performed incorrectly by the presenters. In addition, players must sing this line word for word. If at least one word is named incorrectly, the turn goes to the opponent. For each correct answer, the team receives two points.

Someone else's hands

The team captain selects two members from his team who show hidden words from a certain category. One of the participants can use everything except their hands. The second one stands behind his back and can only use his hands. Each team has 90 seconds, and for each correct answer the team receives five points.

Super game

The final game of each episode, in which the main prize is awarded - half a million rubles. It involves the captain of the winning team with a partner from any team (the captain chooses this partner himself).

Alexey Likhnitsky and Roman Yunusov took off their “Zaitsev sisters” masks and answered hooligan questions

It was before that they went on stage at the Comedy Club every evening and showed candid miniatures, and did not shy away from strong words and jokes below the belt. Remember? “Yes, Roman! - Yes, Tatyana! By the way, the name of the creative tandem was born unexpectedly. This is how they remember it: “The first program was on. Everyone is running around behind the scenes, fussing, nervous. Presenter Tash Sargsyan runs up: “Roma, Lesha, I need to know how to announce you.” Someone blurted out: “Let there be the Zaitsev Sisters.” Two huge men are sisters, it’s funny. “Let it be like this, then we’ll come up with something new,” we decided. But somehow this brand has grown on us, you can’t unstick it.”

Now Alexey Likhnitsky and Roman Yunusov have grown almost respectable beards and help the participants of the show “” cope with intricate but funny competitions. In the near future, Channel One plans to air new episodes of the show - immediately after Maxim Galkin and his project “” go on vacation. On this occasion, we called the presenters to answer - in their style. The artists answered without embarrassment, almost always in unison.

— Have you ever communicated with the prototypes of your comedy pseudonym, real singers Elena and Tatyana Zaitsev?

— How did these St. Petersburg whips, Ivan Urgant, and other representatives of the “Neva group” treat you, modest natives of sunny Vladikavkaz and Kimovsk?

- Just like other smart guys - they love, appreciate, respect.

— Do you often get asked on the street where your sister is?

- No, not often, because we always go together!

— From 0.00 to 0.21 does not occur! From 0.21 to 1.16 it appears! Then from 1.16 to 2.27 it does not appear again, and from 2.27 to the end of the song it appears!

Novel:— The times when I wanted to become Pamela Anderson’s personal mammologist are gone! I've matured and now I like neat, small tits.

— What, in your opinion, are more meaningless things than congratulating stars on your page on social networks?

Alexei:- Well, firstly, I hate that you call my hobby a “meaningless thing”, and secondly, happy belated birthday.

— If television disappears, where are you willing to go to work in a crisis: at a Viagra production plant, as a brain remover at a slaughterhouse, as a concrete mixing supervisor, as a sanctioned food burner?

— Do you often have to fight off harassment or attempts from spectators and fans?

— Often, but we are not timid. Somewhere around 11th and 12th places...

"Moscow Nights"
Coming soon, First

A large pavilion at the Amedia film studio, decorated like an apartment - bookshelves, a bar counter (with real cocktails), a huge TV on the wall and a fireplace with a painted hearth underneath. There are also two sofas - cozy and soft - for the participants of the game; several rows of chairs for spectators and many cameras. On a separate platform is the equipment of the Jukebox Trio group.

At first there is almost no one. A girl with a tattoo (not a dragon) speaks into the microphone about a five-minute readiness and asks to remove extraneous things from the set, but after five minutes, of course, nothing starts. First, the musicians train - they voice the musical leads for competitions (“now we’re recording “don’t la-la”) and for commercial breaks, then everything is checked again, again, and again. During filming, there will be no time for checks - everything is filmed in virtually a single take, the only exception being made for preparing props for the next competition and adjusting the participants’ makeup; at these moments the site is like a pit stop during Formula 1 - external bustle with internal order.

Half a million in an evening

In the game itself, two teams of four participants compete. Three of them are famous and recognizable people, and the captain becomes an “ordinary person” - one of the TV viewers who applied for participation. He will get 500 thousand rubles. If his players, based on the results of five stages, lead their captain to the super game and if he wins it, this is also a competition and, perhaps, the most difficult of all.

This time, fate brought together a mechanic from Nadym, Pavel, whose team consisted of TV presenter (and one of the producers of the program) Ivan Urgant, singer Natalie and actress Yulia Topolnitskaya (known from the Leningrad video about Louboutins), and an insurance specialist from Moscow Olga - her assistance was provided by Maxim Galkin, Marina Fedunkiv and Alexander Gudkov.

Alternative to scale

Ruslan Roshchupkin/press service of Channel One Filming of the TV game “Moscow Nights”

Channel One is filming the next block of episodes of the TV game “Moscow Evenings,” which has been airing since February of this year. The format of the program is the American Hollywood Game Night, which is now in its fourth season on NBC and has received two primetime Emmys for best reality show host (the prize went to actress Jane Lynch).

“The program, for the first time on Channel One, is quiet and small,” says producer Andrei Boltenko. — The first is synonymous with large-scale shows, and “Moscow Nights” is an alternative to this image. And, as it turns out, this formula works. Here the stars behave differently, and the image that appears is completely different from what everyone is used to.”

“It turns out that they are all passionate and cheerful,” adds Denis Rtishchev, who heads the team of authors of Moscow Evenings.

Few songs

Ruslan Roshchupkin/press service of Channel One Filming of the TV game “Moscow Nights”

The Russian version was invented by Boltenko and Urgant, and it is made by a whole team, which, of course, not only plays games - but this activity is also one of the main ones for it. The film crew first tests all the invented competitions on themselves - this is necessary in order to optimize the location of the cameras and prepare the technical staff.

Despite the American format (by the way, it was purchased not only in Russia, but also in several other countries in Europe, Asia and America), competitions are most often invented by Russian television people. And with this, difficulties emerged that, perhaps, exceed all the preparation, which makes it possible to film one issue in a very limited time.

“We realized that we have a very meager media field,” notes Rtishchev. — There are few popular songs, the culture of magazines and other printed publications is not developed. Books can only be used if you take the classics.”

The creators of the program recall how no one in the studio could put Daria Dontsova’s books in order - however, this is really very difficult, considering how many detective stories the writer wrote. There are difficulties with topics that everyone understands, and with stars that everyone can recognize - this is necessary for a super game.

Guess the Celebrity

Ruslan Roshchupkin/press service of Channel One Filming of the TV game “Moscow Nights”

However, from the point of view of the viewer, in the studio the most difficult part still falls on those who count the correct answers, especially in those competitions when participants compete not in turn, but simultaneously, fighting not only with an inexorable stopwatch (as a rule, on a task 90 seconds are allotted), but also with an opponent. For example, during a game of Back to Back, when the stars need to explain the same word to their captains (try showing what "injury" looks like with your hands tied behind your back).

However, nothing is impossible - the scoring is carried out very carefully, although in the excitement of the competition the participants try to put pressure on the presenters (comedian duo Roman Yunusov and Alexei Likhnitsky), proving that they were judged unfairly. Of course, it is impossible to prove this - victory in competitions is as clear as possible, so from this side everything is fair. And, by the way, no one has won the super game yet or received 500 thousand rubles - it’s really difficult to guess ten celebrities in the same 90 seconds.

A noisy, gambling and fun team game, created based on the TV project of the same name.

Game description

Imagine showing off a dinosaur with his hands tied, guessing the song “Oh God, What a Man” from your colleagues’ dances, or singing “We Need One Victory” using “quack-quack” and “poke-peck” instead of words.

The variety of funny competitions will not leave either adults or children indifferent, because “Moscow Nights” is a kaleidoscope of dizzying fun!

Where can I play?

Wherever there is room for two teams and spectators.

How many people can participate

From six people, so that each team has at least three participants.

If the total number of participants is more than ten, several rounds are held: players alternate with spectators.

You will enjoy “Evenings” if you:

• over nine years old;
• love Crocodile and Alias;
• already played “100 to 1” and Mafia :)

How we prepare for the game

We will ask you about the professions and hobbies of the game participants and prepare an individual scenario.

In addition to the script, we will provide props, prizes and music. Details of the event, competition options and other nuances can be discussed by phone or email.

Price

The cost of the game depends on its duration, the number of participants and invited presenters, as well as prizes and props that will be used during the game. For example, a two-hour game “Moscow Nights” for 25 people with one host, DJ and necessary props will cost from 24,000 rubles.
