Konchalovsky - envious, petty man ...

He immediately remembered how Danelia wrote about the shooting, "I Step Through Moscow" (Chito-Grito "- a smart book!):
«Take Nikita Mikhalkov on the role of the proposed Kolka Gene Shpalikov. He was friends with the brother of Nikita Mikhalkov Andron (now Konchalovsky).
Nikita I saw six months ago - a teenager, ugly duckling ...
- Nikita no good - it's small.
- And you call it.
Summoned. Bruiser came to a head above me. While we endlessly reworked the script, published as a Marshak: "During the way a dog could grow."
Started shooting. A week later, the casting director Aronovna Lika says:
- Mikhalkov, refuses to act.
-?
- Requires 25 rubles a day. Actor rates were: 8 p. - Beginner, 16 - already with experience, 25 - young stars and superstars 40-50. Rate of 25 rubles for Nikita had to punch in Goskino.
- And where is he, Nikita?
- Here, - said Leka. - Walking down the corridor.
- Call.
- George N., - said Nikita - I play the main role. But getting the actors who play no major role. This is unfair.
- Whom do you mean?
- For example, Alex Loktev, Galya Polish.
- Alexei Loktev has starred in the title role, and Galya Polish. They are already well-known actors. And you still do not an actor. Schoolboy. And we pay you as much as them. So - shut up.
- Or 25, or I refuse to be removed!
- Well, as you know ... - I turned away from Niki-you. - Lika Aronovna, call the guy that we tried to Mikhalkov. And ask him what his shoe size - if other than Nikita today buy shoes. Tomorrow will begin charging.
- Okay.
- Who? - Nikita nervous.
- Nikita, what do you care - nobody. You already have do not remove!
- But you have five days of filming. All you have to retake!
- This is not your concern. Go on, interfere with work ...
- What, me you do not shoot!
- No.
And then buying up the man's tears rolled down the razor has never known her cheek afterwards famous director:
- George N., it taught me Andron! .. Said that once a week I rented, then you have no way out !...
