“It’s strange to talk about any bias”: the producer of the “Mask” show answered the offended Victoria Daineko 05/18/2023, 12:40

The winner of “Star Factory-5” took part in the fourth season of the show “Mask” on the NTV channel. Victoria acted in the image of the Phoenix, she did not last long in the project. The singer believes that the producers who rehearsed insufficiently interesting numbers for her are to blame.

According to Daineko, a complex scenery was built for the opponent and her introductions were the same. When the artist asked the producers why this was happening, they replied that “there are certain restrictions.” The pop star said she felt prejudiced against her so she was disappointed in The Mask.

The show’s producer, Yulia Sumacheva, responded to Victoria’s accusations. She stated that the staging of the numbers largely depends on the repertoire and costume options of the participant. For Daineko, as for other artists, the compositions were selected individually, taking into account the image.

Julia noted that there are times on the project when participants and directors disagree, but such issues are resolved immediately. “There are two production directors in the team, you can always try to work with another, which happened several times on the program. The main thing is to ask for it – every participant has a connection with me and the editor. For us as producers, the result is important – in this case, it’s an incredibly bright show. So it’s strange to talk about any kind of bias,” Sumacheva said.

The producer of the show believes that a lot depends on the participants themselves. For example, Sergey Lazarev went for a trick, and from the first issue, the jury members thought that a woman was hiding under his Scorpion mask. As a result, the singer became the winner of the program and shared the first place with Dima Bilan.

“In addition to performing, every artist tries to prove himself in communication with the jury and the audience. The final decision to continue participating in the project is theirs. The point of the show is to hide, change your voice, play and confuse, invent a vivid image in an expensive suit to make it memorable. “Mask” is a show in which everyone will sooner or later reveal the secret of their identity and leave the project,” Julia concluded in an interview with StarHit.
