OREANDA-NEWS  This year, the cost of performing Russian stars at New Year's corporate parties has dropped significantly: the budgets of companies inviting artists have decreased, as well as demand. The most popular were Grigory Leps, Nikolai Baskov, Philip Kirkorov. About this "Tape" was told by producer Dmitry Ashurov.

"In comparison with the previous year, a lot of things have changed both in the prices and in the enthusiasm of the artists: previously they could dictate their terms more rigidly, but now the relationship has become more loyal," Ashurov said. — At the same time, the starting prices remained the same, someone even increased them. This is what artists who have their main permanent contingent did: they understand that, although the total number of orders has decreased, regular fans will order them for at least five, at least seven million."

The most popular this year, according to the producer, were Grigory Leps, Nikolai Baskov, Philip Kirkorov. Polina Gagarina, Dima Bilan, Sergey Lazarev complete the top.

"Now, of course, there is a lot of competition, every year it increases, there are more and more artists. At the same time, prices have fallen, budgets for inviting artists have decreased, customers are forcing them to move in price. Demand has also become less," Ashurov concluded.
