VITAS and Mass-Media
As it is known, Vitas never
gives interviews. But this doesn’t mean that journalist and fans will die of
information starvation. “The official site of Vitas in Internet at www.vitas.com.ru
is the most reliable, precise and in most cases, the only way to bring
the information of the actor to the people who await it”,- says Sergey
Pudovkin. The site is made with the help of the most advanced technology. Even
now you can listen to the songs in format Real Audio or MP3 – guided by your
choice and even vote for any of them. It has press reviews, the most recent
news, professional retaken photographs, information about repertoire. By the
way, Vitas himself visits Internet regularly, but, to tell the truth under
different nicknames. And he is very attentive to everything he sees and hears in
it.
An interview with Vitas is estimated at 1000 000 $. This was the statement of Vitas’s impresario. Vitas’s producer Sergey Pudovkin keeps the journalists away from him and no one of them can boast about taking an interview from the new star. Vitas is the real name of the performer, he is not an alien, he is not a result of scientific experiment, he sings in his own voice (not in a computer voice, as many naive people think) and he is not much different from an ordinary person (of course, if you don’t take in consideration his outstanding vocal and artistic abilities).
His unwillingness to show Vitas to the representatives of mass-media the producer explains in the following way: “The only iron principal which will be never altered is that Vitas will never give interviews. Maybe it sounds brutal, but I’m not interested in the past of Vitas! I don’t want such articles as: Vitas was born in some place on some date, studied somewhere, his favorite beverage is such and such to appear on the papers. I want everybody to understand and believe like I believe that Vitas has no past. His common human biography up to this date doesn’t make any difference, because he has SUCH a present and SUCH a future, that crosses away any past forever”.
