“HEADS & TAILS”
WORK OR FUN?
The show storyline is always the same, but it is always
unexpectedly marvelous and fun. One city and two anchormen
with the lot deciding, who is going live on one
hundred dollars, and who is going to use a golden bank
card during their trip.
Heads or tails — and you are a millionaire or a pauper.
You live in luxury apartments or spend the night in an
ordinary hostel. Dine in an exclusive restaurant or subsist
on humble fast food.
Unfortunately for the one and for the good of the
other hero of the show, the gold credit card does not mean
a guarantee of an unforgettable vacation, as the practice
shows that sometimes a hundred dollars is quite enough
and even more than enough for you to have unforgettable
impressions from the trip that will stay in your memory
forever.
The course of every
show always depends on
the coin toss: heads or
tails. We asked Nikita the
question which interests
our audience in the first
place: “Indeed, is it really
true that one person has
no spending limit and uses
the gold credit card during
the trip and the other one
has to get along with just
100$ for everything?”
Nikita Chizhov
Financial Director
of “Heads & Tails”
“According to the rules,
there are two anchors in the
show and one of them has to
get along only with a 100$ per
two days: from the Saturday
morning till the Sunday
evening, but sometimes some
anchors are trying to cheat
the rules. They are contriving
to eat some unaccounted
hamburger or to use a taxy
instead of a bus, but, frankly
speaking, no more than this.
Concerning the credit card, it
is really unlimited as it is the
reason of our show. However,
for purchases over 10,000$ it is necessary to have the permission
of the producer from Kyiv. Frankly speaking, the possibility to
spend money is very limited indeed. They can spend it on some
service or entertainment, but in accordance to the inner rules of
the show, it is strictly forbidden to buy any valuable goods: stocks,
financial instruments, real estate, cars and jewelry – everything
that could be converted into money at any time. There are also
some restrictions concerning charity and gambling, but generally
there are almost no limits to anything related to the traveling.
The aim we are trying to reach is to show that traveling can
actually be available for everyone. The show stimulates people to
travel and gives them really useful advice as well. The television
is able to transmit only the third part of the perception, that`s
why we can confirm that it is possible and not very complicated
indeed to get along and to see the world as it is in any city all
over the world. Moreover, all members of the team: operators,
scriptwriters, directors and even anchors admit that it is possible
to have much brighter impressions if you travel on a modest
budget. Luxury traveling is more comfortable but less interesting
as all 5 stars hotels, best ever cars, yachts and helicopters are
the same everywhere, no matter where you are, everything is very
similar. Anyway, ordinary people like to pry into the life of the
rich and they have such opportunity due to our show.”
Today, after a lot of challenges which they have met
during the creation of the travel-show, Nikita Chizhov
shares their secret with us.
— The main reason of their success is obviously the
persistence of all team members whatever happened to
do this the second one is a unique format of the show
which combines humor and useful insider information
for travelers highlighted from all angels.
There was an attempt to create something similar
in Turkey, but the results were primitive, frankly
speaking. They wanted to steal the idea, but they did
not actually know how to create this kind of show
format. I should say that, nevertheless, it is not as
easy as it seems. But still, it is possible for any media
production and for any region of the world, and
TeenSpirit is even ready to share its secrets with those
who want to repeat our trick. We are ready to couch
media companies to create something similar using
their sources.
The most attractive feature of the show is its excellent
sense of humor: the show always chooses wonderful and
charismatic anchors: Alan Badoev, Jana Badoeva, Andrei
Bednyakov, Lesia Nikituk, Anastasia Korotkaiya, Nikolai
Serga, Eugeniy Sinelnikov and Regina Todorenko — all of
them make the show alive, and sometimes it even seems
as if you personally know these people; they make the
show bright and sparkling with fun dialogs and humor.
Combined with unique and extraordinary format, it
makes the show an unbelievable sparkling adventure.
Sometimes, even forgoing restrictions and forbiddances
during the creation of the video, the team unveils the
hidden real life of the place and city they visit. It seems
nothing can stop the team in their aspiration to show
their audience the totally naked city, revealing its innards,
and the most unexpected moments of the big city life,
both charming and disgusting.
As we can see, the combination of two factors: creative
and crazy people in love with their job and elegant humor
and fearless desire to create for the sake of creation, — has
given birth to a marvelous product which has hypnotized
almost the entire adventure seeking audience in the
major part of post-Soviet media space.
Best wishes to “Heads & Tails” for your future plans
and we hope you still have something up your sleeve to
surprise us. ▪
