Subscribe to the "Lying Rhymes" YOUTUBE channel, where you will be able to watch the series online – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMPCTqcf5dUdVy8y-FYayTQ Interview with Kristiyan Atanasov, who appears in "Lying Rhymes". 1. Tell us briefly about yourself. Hello, I’m Kristiyan Atanasov, 21. I live and study in Plovdiv, appear in advertisements and music videos, and have the honour of appearing in the new Bulgarian series "Lying Rhymes". 2. Was this your first audition, and did you think you would be selected? It wasn’t my first audition, and I know how things work. I was almost certain I would be selected. I gave it my all, and it worked out. 3. What do you think of paid auditions, and have you participated in any? I think everyone decides for themselves what to spend their money on. Quality has a price! 4. What do you think of the reports by "Lords of the Air" that tried to tarnish the series’ name, and what would you say to people who believe them? I have nothing to say about the report except that I was there without paying anything apart from the fee for the paid part of the audition, like everyone else, and in the end I was chosen. Those who believe fake reports, that’s their problem. You can’t know without trying. 5. What emotions did you experience during the audition and filming? All the emotions and pleasant moments of filming that we shared with everyone involved are indescribable! Lots of laughter, lots of excitement, some tension too, but working with many people isn’t easy. Nevertheless, things happened and the series is a reality. 6. How would you describe the organisation of the casting campaign and filming of "Lying Rhymes"? Organisation was good both at the casting and during filming. Everyone knew their job and everything went smoothly. 7. Why do you think the same famous faces appear in most Bulgarian productions? The same faces appear in Bulgarian productions. New, inexperienced performers are not given the opportunity to break into show business. There should be more castings like this, so people who are not known to Bulgarian audiences can get a chance to perform too. 8. In your experience, do you know many cases where Bulgarian producers give new, unproven faces a chance? Unfortunately, not many producers give ordinary people an opportunity to perform. 9. Would you recommend the casting agency Film Casting BG, and why? The agency is very good and well organised. I recommend it to anyone who wants to perform: this is the place. A team of professionals will take care of you. Look out for the first Bulgarian hip-hop series, "Lying Rhymes", in September 2018. The production is produced by Plovdiwood Ent. and Devil Cinema. You can apply for the new productions, the reality show "I’m Becoming a Star" and children’s and teen series "Talent Academy", at www.akademiazatalanti.com.
