According to biblical covenants, a person is forbidden to bury his talents in the ground. In modern conditions, every rational creature has many opportunities to discover and realize their abilities. A vivid example of this is the biography of Nikolai Serdov.
Childhood and youth
In a song that was once popular but forgotten today, there are words that we are dear to the young everywhere. To a large extent, this slogan reflected the true state of affairs. The future actor and television presenter Nikolai Nikolayevich Serdtsev was born on January 25, 1970 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in the city of Leningrad. My father worked at the famous Kirovsky Zavod, where he produced tractors and other equipment for agriculture. Mother, specializing in general practitioner, conducted a reception in one of the district polyclinics.
The boy grew and developed like all ordinary children. When the age approached, he was enrolled in the gymnasium named after Miguel de Cervantes with in-depth study of foreign languages. Nicholas chose English. Already in the elementary grades, he showed the ability to humanitarian disciplines. Heart's favorite subject is history. At that time, interest in past events coincided with a love of reading. As a student of the gymnasium, Kolya read dozens, if not hundreds, of historical books. The teenager was overwhelmed with a thirst to share the information received.
In high school, Hearts, like all serious peers, began to think about choosing a profession. After some thought, he decided to enter the history department of the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute. In his student years, Nikolai did not give up his hobbies. I tried to travel in the summer as part of a student construction team to remote areas of the Leningrad Region. Communicated with residents and recorded interesting facts from the past. And yet, inspired by the harsh nature of the Russian north, he wrote poetry.
Having received a higher pedagogical education, Serdyva was drafted into the ranks of the armed forces. In the army, he had to deal not only with guard duty, but also with educational work. Nikolai organized sports and cultural events, issued combat leaflets. After demobilization, he was invited to the regional office of NTV Channel in St. Petersburg. At the same time, Serdtsev entered the VGIK economic department, which he graduated in 2002, having received the second profession "film and television producer".
TV projects
By the mid-90s, new television channels and programs began to appear in Russia. Knowledge of English and German helped Serdtsev get in touch with colleagues from Germany. For six years he worked as a producer of German television ZDF in Moscow and St. Petersburg. At that time, it was difficult for foreign viewers to understand the processes that take place in Russia. Nikolai had to make great efforts to combine the video sequence and comments in his materials. Several times he traveled to Afghanistan on the instructions of a television company, where he shot stories about how NATO soldiers serve there.
In 2003, when hostilities began in Iraq, Sertsov’s special correspondent spent nine months in the territory covered by the war. Returning to Russia, he switched to the TVS channel as a producer and correspondent for the New Century program. By that time, televisions of various kinds appeared in which participants fought for cash prizes. For several months, Nicholas broadcast “About Money” on one channel and “Personal Interest” on another. Communicating with colleagues, he began to pay attention to the processes that took place on the set of films and TV shows. And even took a course of acting at one of the venerable directors.
Movie roles
Serdva’s television career was quite successful. However, in search of new experiences, he decided to do creative work on the movie screen. The first film “I am a Bodyguard” was released in 2008, where Nikolai played a cameo role. It should be noted that the seasoned television journalist deliberately repeated the path of a novice film actor. Of the individual episodes, which last three seconds, he advanced to a supporting role in the films "His Team" and "Web". And, according to the laws of the genre, he got the main role in the series "Signs of Fate".
It should be noted that the actor rarely has the opportunity to choose a suitable role. Directors are engaged in this business. Judging by the work of Serdvev in the cinema, the Russian stage directors are professionals in their field. Nikolai convincingly presented on the screen the chief of the district police in the crime drama Family Detective. Psychologically accurately conveyed the state of the teacher in the thriller "Closed School". The actor began to recognize on the street and in other public places after the films "Love without insurance" and "Shapovalov."
