.htaccess redirect any chars before string

I have an URL like this:

/anycharsinsidehere/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html

and I want to redirect it to a static page like this:

Redirect 301 /*/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html http://www.site.com/new-page-redirected.html

How can I obtain this?

I need to match, for example:

/dh48hsi3t8y/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html
/fnf;d3thgB/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html
/fkhg84HFB/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html
/nefjb398tFfeihg/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html

etc.

Using mod_alias, you want RedirectMatch instead of just Redirect:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/(.*)/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html http://www.site.com/new-page-redirected.html

Using mod_rewrite:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect.html http://www.site.com/new-page-redirected.html [L,R=301]

To use regex support you need to use RedirectMatch instead of Redirect:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/[^/]+/hello-this-is-a-page-to-redirect\.html$ http://www.site.com/new-page-redirected.html
