How difficult is it to speak? A name on its own. From Abdulaziz Al-Jassem and Abdul Mohsen

0:00:18.480,0:00:28.519
Al-Nimr to Ghazi Hussein and Yasser Al-Masry. A decision or approval. A journalistic headline that established the world and did not stop it.

0:00:28.519,0:00:33.040
All these topics and more. We will discuss it today in the

0:00:33.040,0:00:42.079
eleventh episode of the Audible podcast with me, Yasser Al-Yasiri, around the middle of the year 2009. With

0:00:42.079,0:00:47.719
the great success of Badiu Kalb, the song “The Years Divide Us” by the artist Mohamed Abdo and the artist Elah

0:00:47.719,0:00:54.600
Nasri, I had opportunities in my hobby, and doors opened for my hobby, because the dog at the time was very different,

0:00:54.600,0:01:00.359
and the production was very huge, and this is what we looked at in the previous episode, not

0:01:00.359,0:01:06.400
photography, the difficulties that I faced, and the challenges that we face. We expressed it in addition to all

0:01:06.400,0:01:12.439
the possibilities that were available very well to produce this work, and with this work we can say

0:01:12.439,0:01:18.880
that a very important step forward has been made because the work reflects several aspects in addition to the

0:01:18.880,0:01:24.159
creative aspects, which were almost considered premature, which is the use of the motion

0:01:24.159,0:01:30.240
control device and the use of visual effects. In a distinctive way, I add to this many

0:01:30.240,0:01:37.200
dramatic and cinematic aspects that I deliberately depicted in a way so that it would be closer to being a film, and of course

0:01:37.200,0:01:42.000
cinema and film, I mean, is the dream that originally led me to enter this field. I mean,

0:01:42.000,0:01:48.320
entering the field was due to my attachment to very large cinematic projects and films that influenced

0:01:48.320,0:01:54.000
In my childhood, it influenced my youth, and to this day it continues to influence me. I always tried to

0:01:54.000,0:02:00.039
reflect this influence and this attachment to cinema through my work. From the first video clip I made,

0:02:00.039,0:02:07.719
a video clip separated us for years in 2009. I always had an obsession with cinema, drama, and entering

0:02:07.719,0:02:14.319
this world, and I was trying, but the opportunity came at the right time. It was very, very difficult. I mean, I entered

0:02:14.319,0:02:20.680
the world of video clips, and thank God I succeeded very well at that time, but my entry into the world

0:02:20.680,0:02:25.920
of drama and the world of cinema was more difficult as a hobby. First of all, I am in the region in the first place, and

0:02:25.920,0:02:30.480
the United Arab Emirates is not known for its great cinematic movement. Then, of course,

0:02:30.480,0:02:36.920
we will go on a trip. Emirati filmmakers were influenced by this scene, and it

0:02:36.920,0:02:41.920
helped me with future projects, but the UAE and most Arab countries, to be frank

0:02:41.920,0:02:47.760
with the exception of Egypt, mean that their local production of cinema and even drama is very little. I mean, it is

0:02:47.760,0:02:54.800
possible that the Gulf has abundant dramatic production, but I mean, that was not the goal that I had because

0:02:54.800,0:03:01.200
the type of drama in The Gulf until then, with works, of course, there are very important and great works

0:03:01.200,0:03:07.599
and great directors, but it is closer to the soap opera, which are the series that depend only on

0:03:07.599,0:03:15.760
the events and the characters, meaning that they do not have an attractive element to me as a director, so it was very difficult that even

0:03:15.760,0:03:23.000
if I entered the drama, I would see myself in This field, and of course cinema, is more difficult and more difficult at the time,

0:03:23.000,0:03:29.400
but it was an obsession that meant that I was from a young age. I remember, perhaps I was eight or nine

0:03:29.400,0:03:37.760
years old. The first time I saw a cinema projector, it was brought by my older brother, Anwar Al-Yasiri. He had

0:03:37.760,0:03:44.239
a device that I did not know that he wanted to repair, so he took it from his friend, so he brought this device. The projector left it at home

0:03:44.239,0:03:50.360
, because the device was already out of order, but it was burning in the globe or the bulb that was

0:03:50.360,0:03:57.560
inside the device to reflect the image. It was working, but that means the reel and pulley were not moving.

0:03:57.560,0:04:04.159
The device was ruined, so I was moving it with my hands, meaning I would get the picture, which was the frame, of course, as we said before

0:04:04.159,0:04:10.200
every second. It is 24 pictures, so I squeezed out a picture of these pictures, and I do not even remember the movie. I could not identify it,

0:04:10.200,0:04:17.000
but I see one in a cave. I mean, through this one frame that I reflect, I am with light.

0:04:17.000,0:04:21.959
For me, it means it represents a dream or a revolution of the possible things that the device emerges from,

0:04:21.959,0:04:28.680
and I began to imagine that it was... I mean, the people who watch movies live with this device, and then after

0:04:28.680,0:04:33.520
a while, I mean, not that long ago, our neighbors in the Ghazaliyah area in

0:04:33.520,0:04:40.520
Baghdad, the house of Abu Uday, had a projector that was only working, not the same as the one we had,

0:04:40.520,0:04:46.280
but they didn’t have movies. One time, a movie I don’t know, their father brought. Where do

0:04:46.280,0:04:52.840
I remember the movie “Washan Mal” by Laurel Hardy, which is the comedy characters, one hits the

0:04:52.840,0:04:58.880
old brother, silent movies? I

0:04:58.880,0:05:05.560
mean, so they opened the device, the device that works, which is what I originally meant. I was obsessed with the device. The one before that I saw a picture of it, but on one bulb, and sat.

0:05:05.560,0:05:12.039
I mean, I kept contemplating it, and it opened my imagination, and how is it possible? They enter the world with this device and how do

0:05:12.039,0:05:19.199
they watch the movie? No, this time, the device is actually working, and I remember Abu Uday opening the device and pointing it

0:05:19.199,0:05:26.240
at the wall, and the movie Lauren Hardy came out, and I mean, my fascination was not with the mirror image on

0:05:26.240,0:05:33.039
the wall. I was fascinated by the device itself, I mean, I watched how it moves in the light for a week, and how

0:05:33.039,0:05:39.039
the frames fluctuate, and for weeks, how are they? The frames form this moving image. I mean, at that time,

0:05:39.039,0:05:45.720
all my secrets were opened. I kept imagining that I didn’t know why the topic affected me so much. Even

0:05:45.720,0:05:52.080
if I was old, almost a few years or 11 years old, I kept feeling that people were present inside these

0:05:52.080,0:05:58.199
devices, actors, and that’s what I felt. I mean, television before it was, of course, like. The box

0:05:58.199,0:06:04.199
means there is a distance or space behind the screen, so I feel that the actors and things appear as if they

0:06:04.199,0:06:09.919
are already inside the television, so I say, but how do these people continue to live all this year, and how do these

0:06:09.919,0:06:17.440
things continue to be repeated and repeated in cinema and television, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, it affected me?

0:06:17.440,0:06:23.880
In a big way, and I think it has affected everyone. I mean, this is sweet in the sense that it has an impact on all sectors

0:06:23.880,0:06:30.080
of society. Of course, the impact varies from one to another. Someone can take it as a way of life and study it. This becomes

0:06:30.080,0:06:37.240
his interest and it becomes his craft. It is possible for someone to be interested in it, but from the way of following and influencing it, it is an art.

0:06:37.240,0:06:44.560
I mean, it is very important and it influenced me. From a young time, I always looked for opportunities, but

0:06:44.560,0:06:51.319
the opportunity came to me to enter this world, but that meant that I was busy with video clips and I was successful in them, thank

0:06:51.319,0:06:59.240
God. The lack of many opportunities in the Emirates to do something in cinema and drama had a negative impact on

0:06:59.240,0:07:06.199
that until the moment of releasing a video clip that separated us from the years came. And the great impact it has

0:07:06.199,0:07:12.879
on the recipient, and people say that this work means that you do not see anything like it from technicians calling

0:07:12.879,0:07:18.520
me. Even I have relatives who call me that it is Al-Sha’rain. I am proud that it is not because I made a clip

0:07:18.520,0:07:25.039
with the Arab artist Mohamed Abdo and the artist Sala Nasri, but because the content of the clip was actually

0:07:25.039,0:07:31.240
different. It is special, so I felt this topic gave me a little strength that I had to delve into this

0:07:31.240,0:07:37.479
world at that time through the company I was in, Dubai Voice Company,

0:07:37.479,0:07:43.000
owned by my brother Nour Al Yasiri, which I learned from and learned from, and who enjoyed the

0:07:43.000,0:07:48.879
previous episodes, I mean, he saw the journey that took place from the beginning to At this moment, what influence did

0:07:48.879,0:07:58.840
my brother Anwar and the Dubai Voice Company, formerly called the Baghdad Company, have on my career? During this

0:07:58.840,0:08:03.440
period, we had a competition in the company,

0:08:03.440,0:08:09.840
meaning for local filmmakers, that the company provides them with equipment, editing,

0:08:09.840,0:08:17.080
and everything, meaning post production, and for the crew to film their films. I mean, he was my big brother. Anwar

0:08:17.080,0:08:24.080
Yasri supports this idea because at that time in the year 2006-2005

0:08:24.080,0:08:31.800
, it became the Dubai Film Festival and the Dubai Film Festival from the beginning of its year. Maybe Anwar started

0:08:31.800,0:08:38.120
going to before then he took me with him. I think from 2006-2007, I mean, he was an

0:08:38.120,0:08:44.880
incredibly enthusiastic worker because it meant we would start the festival and go to the Red. Carpet, then we go to the movie, of course,

0:08:44.880,0:08:52.000
it will be a great movie, and we will see people celebrating this movie. After the movie, we will go to something

0:08:52.000,0:08:57.640
called the Gala Party, which is a party related to this movie, and you will see the makers of the movie itself and the filmmakers

0:08:57.640,0:09:06.640
from the region, and exchange cultures. The psychological impact of the festival was very important for me and certainly

0:09:06.640,0:09:13.680
for my brother. The great Anwar and all filmmakers, the region is very important, and to this day

0:09:13.680,0:09:19.880
the existing generation that currently makes films in the Emirates and even in the Gulf is from that generation

0:09:19.880,0:09:26.040
that started with the Dubai Film Festival and before that it was in Emirati films in Abu Dhabi and after that

0:09:26.040,0:09:32.279
the Gulf Festival to this day. This generation is Those who started producing and presenting films

0:09:32.279,0:09:39.399
and even series to the scene. In 2008 and 29, as I said, the Dubai Voice Company

0:09:39.399,0:09:45.959
and my brother Anwar Yasser, as a producer, began to provide support for him. These people, most of whom were originally present

0:09:45.959,0:09:53.720
at the festival as a hobby, became my friends, and one of them was an Emirati writer named

0:09:53.720,0:09:59.880
Muhammad Al-Hammadi Muhammad Al-Hammadi. He was working on one of these films, directing and writing it, and he

0:09:59.880,0:10:07.120
was very interested in writing. He was living with a very well-known writer in

0:10:07.120,0:10:13.399
the Gulf, who is the great writer Widad Al-Kuwari from Qatar. I mean, she wrote the most important works

0:10:13.399,0:10:19.200
of the Gulf at that time, and he was living with her and sitting. I mean, he was learning to write

0:10:19.200,0:10:27.160
drama, and at the same time, he was working on writing it himself and Ali, meaning directing a film and even

0:10:27.160,0:10:33.680
acting in other films, as it was before this group. I mean, they all cooperate together. I mean, one

0:10:33.680,0:10:40.240
film director comes, and in his friend’s film, he becomes an actor, or becomes a writer, or becomes an assistant director, meaning all.

0:10:40.240,0:10:47.360
This generation, frankness, familiarity and sharing work is very important, so I got to know Muhammad

0:10:47.360,0:10:55.800
Al-Hammadi, and it has become a relationship between us and a cross-pollination of ideas. We are very similar in our viewpoints. We are very

0:10:55.800,0:11:02.440
similar in the way we approach things or even criticize important things, so

0:11:02.440,0:11:11.440
we have a distinct intellectual relationship with Muhammad Al-Hammadi through his living with the writer Widad Al-Kuwari.

0:11:11.440,0:11:18.760
They made a joint project, which was to be written by Widad and supervised by Muhammad Al-Hammadi until he completed writing

0:11:18.760,0:11:25.560
the series, so the topic was related to the company, so Muhammad was surprised and presented the work to my older brother Anwar,

0:11:25.560,0:11:33.000
and that he would be the producing company, so they wanted to prepare for the work. They started mentioning names, and he was present, meaning

0:11:33.000,0:11:38.639
an observer of this event. In general, I know where they arrived. When they arrive at times, Muhammad Al-Hammadi is

0:11:38.639,0:11:45.160
sitting telling me about a problem that happened to them, for example, or an obstacle that they want to overcome, and the work, I mean,

0:11:45.160,0:11:50.120
it was marketed after the great writer Widad Al-Kuwari and the stars who were going to do

0:11:50.120,0:11:55.120
the work, who are the great Qatari artist, may God have mercy on him, Abdulaziz Al-Jassem and the

0:11:55.120,0:12:01.480
great Saudi artist. Abdel Mohsen Al-Nimr, who was one of the most important directors, agreed with him that

0:12:01.480,0:12:07.279
he would finish the work. I remember one day when I was coming out of editing and went to the office

0:12:07.279,0:12:15.720
of my older brother, and I found my brother Anwar and the writer, Mohamed Hamadi, sitting and talking about

0:12:15.720,0:12:22.600
what they were going to do and what were the next steps in the work. And they were They were talking about the director, and I heard

0:12:22.600,0:12:28.639
the director’s wage. The number that the director takes, which is of course a director, means it is important at the time. I agreed, so I told

0:12:28.639,0:12:34.600
them to tell me. I told them, by God, if I had this number, I would take it. I am definitely working. Half of this number

0:12:34.600,0:12:40.760
I will spend, but only on the condition that I get good lenses and a camera so that I can advance. In the picture that appears

0:12:40.760,0:12:46.160
In the Gulf drama, they understood me. He said this, but what did he say? But I told them, “No, I am

0:12:46.160,0:12:54.199
really honest.” Of course, I mean, I am not saying that I am an accountant. It is true, but I mean, the profession of drama and cinema

0:12:54.199,0:12:58.320
was not what it was at that time. It was the craft that I was doing. It was video clips and video

0:12:58.320,0:13:03.279
clips, for example. It can take a month, and oh, oh, the preparation,

0:13:03.279,0:13:10.000
or the writing, or the execution, I mean, it's less of a hobby, of course, than among series and films, so I mean,

0:13:10.000,0:13:16.399
my standard was in clips in general, so I felt that on the contrary, I was the number that they offered to the

0:13:16.399,0:13:22.240
other director. When I heard, I said, "This is half of it, it's all enough for me, and the other half, I'm leaving it on, I mean,

0:13:22.240,0:13:29.760
on the equipment." I think this sentence means that I excited my brother, not because he wanted to

0:13:29.760,0:13:35.920
leave half the salary on the equipment, but for sure he was supportive of me from the beginning and he definitely

0:13:35.920,0:13:42.920
loves his brother that he is doing this work, so he told me that he is very happy that I will try to put your name

0:13:42.920,0:13:51.079
on television because the company, Dubai Voice, is a producer. The outlet and the producer is Abu Dhabi Channel, so I told him, “Okay.” He went to

0:13:51.079,0:13:59.160
a meeting, and I remember he asked me to make a clip for him specifically, “The Years We Have Separated” on DVD,

0:13:59.160,0:14:05.600
and he went to the meeting, and the person in charge at Abu Dhabi TV, and as soon as the meeting started,

0:14:05.600,0:14:12.480
he called me and said to me, “Okay, it’s over. Congratulations, you and me.” And I don’t know what. He was convinced by everything, and I mean, he definitely

0:14:12.480,0:14:18.639
put pressure in this direction that I would be the director. He told me that I was definitely happy, because as

0:14:18.639,0:14:24.560
I mentioned before, that this is really my dream. I want to enter drama and cinema, and

0:14:24.560,0:14:32.880
the video clips were the gateway to realizing parts of this dream. I mean, for each clip, I leave out a small part.

0:14:32.880,0:14:39.199
Who is one of my biggest dramatic and cinematic dreams? He said to me, “Okay, we came.” I remember the same day

0:14:39.199,0:14:46.079
at night, and for sure, Mohammed Al Hammadi, being my friend, was very excited and we talked after work. I told him,

0:14:46.079,0:14:52.399
Okay, I want to. I mean, give me the episodes that are available. I can read them and see how I will deal with them. What

0:14:52.399,0:14:59.120
is the idea that I have in mind? We kept talking and that’s it. Like. I am still following my word, which is that

0:14:59.120,0:15:06.279
I did half of it and left it on the equipment, so the work was finished and it was supposed to be assigned to me

0:15:06.279,0:15:12.399
as a director, and this thing became official, and oh, Abu Dhabi TV, and official, and oh Dubai Voice Company

0:15:12.399,0:15:19.720
, which is the executive producer, means that I don’t care about the work, frankly. I mean, it was. I have a chapter. I mean, I wasn't saying

0:15:19.720,0:15:26.160
that this company is our money and my brother's money, so I have to deal with it this way or be treated in this

0:15:26.160,0:15:33.480
way. I mean, I took the topic literally, saying that I am a production company, I am an

0:15:33.480,0:15:40.440
executive producer company, I am a writer, I am a producer, meaning I take things by their professional names,

0:15:40.440,0:15:46.040
so I took the text and I think it was the first. Only five episodes

0:15:46.040,0:15:51.399
were written, so I liked the episodes. I met Mohammed Al Hammadi and told him about

0:15:51.399,0:15:56.680
the notes I had on the things that need to be fixed. We preferred to work. I mean, I remember that

0:15:56.680,0:16:04.240
we come at 3 in the afternoon, for example. We sit and stay until, for example, five to six in the morning, but we work on the script and

0:16:04.240,0:16:11.839
the ideas, and who might be an actor, and to be frank at the time. Muhammad Al-Hammadi’s information was better than

0:16:11.839,0:16:17.959
I had regarding actors. He used to tell me, “This actor is just like that.” We sit and open YouTube and see

0:16:17.959,0:16:23.120
the work other than him. I say, “This one suits the role.” No, “This doesn’t suit the role.” What do you think of this? I mean,

0:16:23.120,0:16:28.279
we kept at this stage walking until it was the first thing after the least. After we fixed the notes

0:16:28.279,0:16:34.319
for the five episodes that I had, and he had a treatment for the 30 episodes, we would talk

0:16:34.319,0:16:39.759
about these things and at the same time try to choose the actors and the crew. I was coming from the video

0:16:39.759,0:16:44.319
clips. At that time, the crews that were available for the video

0:16:44.319,0:16:50.959
clips were more than from the drama, and this might be a surprising thing. For the listener only, but at that time, the third

0:16:50.959,0:16:58.560
drama, I mean, especially in the Gulf, I mean, it was being held, I mean, in what I would say simple methods, but it is

0:16:58.560,0:17:05.640
even one of the simpler methods that are presented in clips and in advertisements, at least in the United

0:17:05.640,0:17:12.039
Arab Emirates, so the topic was a little surprising to me, so I insisted that

0:17:12.039,0:17:17.720
I answer. The concepts that I have from the world of video clips, the concepts that I am studying, and the concepts

0:17:17.720,0:17:22.880
that I follow in international cinematic works and international drama because I answer them

0:17:22.880,0:17:28.520
and have the closest viewpoints between the level at which Gulf drama was at that time and what it was supposed

0:17:28.520,0:17:34.840
to be at because it is Gulf drama, meaning its beginnings began in the studios

0:17:34.840,0:17:42.960
and under the supervision, of course, of cadres. An Egyptian woman is responsible for almost all the drama in the Gulf. When

0:17:42.960,0:17:48.640
they moved from the studios to outside filming, these became personal efforts.

0:17:48.640,0:17:57.840
What was the way work was conducted? I mean, there were no actual titles for each profession, and every department was not interested

0:17:57.840,0:18:06.000
in a person. I mean, like, I mean, it's like a scare, but it's a neat, even scare. The directors who used to come from

0:18:06.000,0:18:12.760
abroad, I mean, they were going along with this system until they did not let go of the knot with a saw, as

0:18:12.760,0:18:18.320
they say. I started and will give a very simple example of the difference,

0:18:18.320,0:18:27.159
so we would settle, meaning the initial budget, and so on. I said that so-and-so I want to be a director, so-and-

0:18:27.159,0:18:33.600
so I want to be a stylist, so I heard objections from The people sitting, including, of course, a personality that I met

0:18:33.600,0:18:41.679
in this work, and he is a personality that changed my life from then until today. He is the

0:18:41.679,0:18:48.280
great artist Professor Mansour Al-Fili. Professor Mansour Al-Fili, I got to know him in the most difficult of words. He was

0:18:48.280,0:18:55.200
the director of the production department. I mean, he did his work as a hobby before as an actor and as a production manager, so he was naturally

0:18:55.200,0:19:02.840
Mr. Mansour's personality is a personality. I mean, people know what his personality is. His personality is very special and funny. It is

0:19:02.840,0:19:10.840
very difficult to get upset with him, even if he says certain things. I mean, I love him and I appreciate him in a way that means

0:19:10.840,0:19:15.640
I cannot describe it. I mean, basically,

0:19:28.840,0:19:34.840
I know Rakoor. Where did I tell him? I mean, he's an actor. He determines Rakoor by clothes, and he does. He said, "What are

0:19:34.840,0:19:40.240
the things we have? You are bringing things from Madreen that are not available in the curse. We had an argument about

0:19:40.240,0:19:46.880
this being correct. I mean, this is not the one that exists until I mention his point. He meant that he cited one of

0:19:46.880,0:19:53.679
the important directors, so he told him and made him a speaker in his own way. I mean, he told him that this is not the case. What are

0:19:53.679,0:19:59.039
the things that we have in drama?" The director, frankly, said to him, “No, it does not exist. We

0:19:59.039,0:20:07.120
do the same thing.” He says, meaning, but its presence is really important and is present in other things. So what is the discussion

0:20:07.120,0:20:11.679
about Ali? I mean, he is convinced, or I, of course, will not be convinced, because I know that

0:20:11.679,0:20:18.919
this is correct, I mean, but at a time when this atmosphere was surrounding the Gulf drama industry, so I started making

0:20:18.919,0:20:24.720
these requests. I mean, they always seemed to be a burden on me, as if I was asking for something extra. This feeling

0:20:24.720,0:20:31.520
that I felt productively was that I was the normal person who had any work that wanted me. I became counted on

0:20:31.520,0:20:37.120
extra, and he began to go back to the first story that I told, the one that I said half of, I would run and get equipment

0:20:37.120,0:20:42.799
and things. What makes the series better and half the reward is that I always felt that it became a problem

0:20:42.799,0:20:50.159
that I am asking for things that are intuitive at work. It became as if I was asking for them more, so it was a

0:20:50.159,0:20:56.600
big obstacle other than the fact that this is the first time I am going to make a drama, and this is of course a personal obstacle, meaning that I have to

0:20:56.600,0:21:02.240
sit and study the topic without seeing. How will I eat it? How will I enter this world? What is

0:21:02.240,0:21:10.159
the similar way to form another burden? What is necessary is that I have to convince all the production that these

0:21:10.159,0:21:18.000
things and conditions must be present. I mean, it was a pressure factor even before we started the series, so

0:21:18.000,0:21:25.000
we started with fighting on our part, shouting on our part, disagreement on our part, and agreement on our part. We were going to work and we were going

0:21:25.000,0:21:32.640
to determine things. I mean, during this period, my brother Canon, the producer of the work, was settling the agreements and

0:21:32.640,0:21:39.320
the actors, so I remember one day we were sitting and he said, “We have a problem, that

0:21:39.320,0:21:43.720
the two main heroes have not arrived, and they have not reached

0:21:43.720,0:21:51.520
the agreement, and the series is almost sold in the name of these heroes and in the name of the writer, Widad

0:21:51.520,0:21:57.840
Al-Kuwari.” It is a package. I mean, these three names must be present. I mean, there was a bit of

0:21:57.840,0:22:04.520
a problem with my brother, so we sat down. Muhammad Al-Hammadi suggested a suggestion that we are in Urdu. We were

0:22:04.520,0:22:12.240
talking about it. There was a series a while ago. It was called Qalb for Rent, and it was by the artist Ghazi

0:22:12.240,0:22:19.000
Hussein from Qatar, the artist that I love very much. And his ignorance, greetings from Mady Durr, everything was good about the series and it was a success with

0:22:19.000,0:22:27.520
tricks, so Muhammad Z said, “Why don’t we get it?” I mean, Gaz Hussein will replace so-and-so in this

0:22:27.520,0:22:34.600
role. He heard Anwar say, “Yes, that’s fine, that’s right, but we still have a problem with the other alternative. The names

0:22:34.600,0:22:38.320
that we were about to suggest, but the package has a high budget.” Oh, as for what is available when

0:22:38.320,0:22:44.159
he calls, the second name remains an obstacle, and Mr. Ghazi Hussein became the alternative,

0:22:44.159,0:22:49.320
and the television agreed to it and said okay, but after us, we continue to suffer with the other name,

0:22:49.320,0:22:55.799
so I remember that the work has reached an almost dead end because it means it is almost finished, meaning

0:22:55.799,0:22:59.520
the project will end, because

0:22:59.600,0:23:04.880
my brother, the producer, Anwar Al-Yasiri, went to a meeting. On Abu Dhabi TV, I mean, they are almost ending

0:23:04.880,0:23:10.279
things because we have not reached a solution for the second actor, and all the things that we are putting

0:23:10.279,0:23:16.799
forward are alternatives. Even what we agreed with, the TV was agreeable to them. I remember that

0:23:16.799,0:23:21.480
about a week ago, I was going to see a play about Sheikh Zayed, may God have mercy on him,

0:23:21.480,0:23:28.600
and the role was played by Sheikh Zayed. The late artist, may God have mercy on him, the Jordanian artist Yasser

0:23:28.600,0:23:35.799
Al-Masry, and his accent, meaning he spoke the Gulf and Emirati dialect very well.

0:23:35.799,0:23:41.559
In addition to that, he was the same as the director of the Nimr Bin Adwan series, and he was a world-breaker, meaning

0:23:41.559,0:23:49.240
a great artist. An idea definitely came to my mind, and of course you don’t choose one person at the time because he is the artist Yasser.

0:23:49.240,0:23:55.400
Al-Masry, may God have mercy on him, is a Jordanian artist. He is appearing in a Gulf series with a Gulf role that has not been mentioned before.

0:23:55.400,0:23:58.960
I mean, his cheetah enters

0:23:58.960,0:24:05.919
a brotherly meeting. He meant to say to me, Okay, I will go in and talk to them, and maybe it won’t happen. I

0:24:05.919,0:24:14.000
mean, there was a little sadness in the air. He was sitting, so he was talking, and he came on TV. The intelligence report

0:24:14.000,0:24:18.520
on the Arab channel wanted to talk about the play that I saw a week ago,

0:24:18.520,0:24:23.760
so I told him I have an idea. I told him, tell them, Yasser Al-Masry in the role of Saif. The character’s name is Saif, so

0:24:23.760,0:24:30.279
he told me, Yasser Al-Masry, Nimr Bin Adwan. I told him what, but she’s Jordanian. I told him, “No, no, believe me.” Tell

0:24:30.279,0:24:35.600
them that I am sure that he will go well, and I am sure that the TV will be enthusiastic

0:24:35.600,0:24:45.440
about him, because everything means I am sure of the choice, but there is no other solution. I mean, Farah said that the name of the artist Yasser Al-Masry and the TV were brought up

0:24:45.440,0:24:53.960
because of the strangeness of the suggestion, and it means that the topic is all new, they liked

0:24:53.960,0:24:59.600
the idea, and that it is a trick. A new topic, and Yasser Masry is a star. I mean, he had the series “Ward,” before they said, “Okay

0:24:59.600,0:25:04.200
, but you will be able to take off this Gulf series.” So while this is a glimmer of hope that they are

0:25:04.200,0:25:10.600
okay with TV, it is up to us. How can we convince the artist, Yasser Al-Masry, so my brother from

0:25:10.600,0:25:16.000
the TV came out and called me and told me what happened, so I told him that’s it. We must now contact Yasser Al-Masry

0:25:16.000,0:25:23.080
He told me, “I want to get his number.” My brother, Anwar Al-Yasiri, was disappointed and told me that he had a mask. By God,

0:25:23.080,0:25:28.679
Yasser Masry was convinced, he loved the idea, and he loved the role, and he finished. Now we have the two heroes that we

0:25:28.679,0:25:35.799
are stuck on. We agreed to replace them with the TV, so we now have the freedom to bring in

0:25:35.799,0:25:43.760
the full crew of actors according to each role and whoever suits. For you, we have brought in a very important hobby actor.

0:25:43.760,0:25:50.000
Shahd Al-Yaseen. I would love to extend my greetings to him. She was a star at the time. Fatima Abdel Rahim

0:25:50.000,0:25:55.360
from Bahrain was a star at the time. Tan and Yana Mahmoud Abu Al-Abbas, the

0:25:55.360,0:26:01.960
great Iraqi artist, Laila Al-Atrash from S. He was a hobby of young stars after them. I mean, they

0:26:01.960,0:26:10.120
were rising. Hind Al-Bass was from From Lebanon, Samira Al-Wahaibi, from Amman, Sham Muhammad, may God have mercy on her soul,

0:26:10.120,0:26:17.640
from Amman, Muhammad Al-Amiri, from the Emirates, Mr. Marai Al-Halyan, from the Emirates. I mean,

0:26:17.640,0:26:26.039
we had a very nice crew, and to be frank, like Taj, and I mean, my brother, the producer, Anwar Al-Yasiri, provided these

0:26:26.039,0:26:31.600
things with all the literal meaning, I mean, the actor was air-conditioned and comfortable, and we We are satisfied and satisfied

0:26:31.600,0:26:38.080
that we have brought the options we want immediately. We must now identify the technicians who are the staff. As

0:26:38.080,0:26:43.440
I said before, there was a problem in some departments that were new to them and which were

0:26:43.440,0:26:49.120
already normal. We began to talk about second jobs, and what was strange at that time was that my hobby was that jobs

0:26:49.120,0:26:55.279
in Arabic drama did not exist at all. In the world, I mean, there are some of these jobs, for example, the executive director,

0:26:55.279,0:27:01.919
the executive director, there is nothing like that, I mean, in world cinema, in the world, in the garden,

0:27:01.919,0:27:07.679
there is someone who is the first assistant director, the second assistant director, the third assistant director, the

0:27:07.679,0:27:15.919
first assistant director is the one who writes the script, he is present in the six, oh, oh, the director, and he is the same. He settles

0:27:15.919,0:27:22.880
the orders, and the second assistant director is always responsible for the movement inside the unit, and the

0:27:22.880,0:27:28.799
third assistant director is responsible for the actors and their arrival and departure. I mean, this is almost the system, but in

0:27:28.799,0:27:34.679
Arabic drama, there is something called an executive director, who just unloads and settles the orders, and then I am a

0:27:34.679,0:27:40.480
first assistant director, who is the first assistant director. Director Balst, a second assistant director, and

0:27:40.480,0:27:46.880
Rakoor, this is the one in the drama. Rakoor is the one who settles all the kunti or “rakor.” Rakoor

0:27:46.880,0:27:52.880
means, for example, that means if we film on Saturday, someone coming out of the door wearing a black shirt, knocking

0:27:52.880,0:27:58.360
on a second door, and we film him coming back on Tuesday, he must have the same black shirt with the same hand that opened it.

0:27:58.360,0:28:06.159
Medically, this is called Rakor in Arabic, but in English it is called Contini, which is the continuity

0:28:06.159,0:28:15.000
of the event with all its elements in movement, clothing, hair, even the one in the location. I mean, sometimes, hobby

0:28:15.000,0:28:24.720
things. I mean, I remember that I had a movie later. I would have a shot of them heading to the place one day,

0:28:24.720,0:28:30.320
and after a whole year, I pictured them sitting out of the same place that is. The event in the film may not take

0:28:30.320,0:28:36.320
two minutes, and this is what helps because when the audience sees it, it is connected and does not feel the differences.

0:28:36.320,0:28:44.000
So, I mean, complete these details. The different crew, especially the directing crew, is different from the one

0:28:44.000,0:28:50.559
I know and the one I am studying, so we have to get the crews according to this. It turned out to be

0:28:50.559,0:28:56.559
the forearm. In drama, I cannot say that it is not there, so I start with the choices. At that time,

0:28:56.559,0:29:04.240
I mean, Syria was the leading country in drama, Amanah. I mean, in 2009 and 2010, most of

0:29:04.240,0:29:10.640
the crews that we brought were from Syria. Then, I mean, the rest of the crews. I had

0:29:10.640,0:29:16.240
a little problem with something specific. I come from a world that means clips

0:29:16.240,0:29:21.279
and advertisements that It is filming, two days, three days, four days, preparation,

0:29:21.279,0:29:27.360
two days, three. We always used to get important names, so reward them, given the short period.

0:29:27.360,0:29:32.960
The numbers are not very high, but in drama, I could not get the same names. I could not get

0:29:32.960,0:29:40.200
one, and he hopes to come for a month at the very least. For example, a director of photography, for example, comes for a month. It was filmed with me

0:29:40.200,0:29:47.919
for three months, which means, frankly, I was not able to connect these two worlds, because the cost was very high,

0:29:47.919,0:29:54.640
and the numbers that were given to the drama and unfortunately still are, are very low, very small, and are not commensurate with

0:29:54.640,0:30:00.279
the fact that I want to get the best in every place, so I had a little difficulty in getting what I really

0:30:00.279,0:30:07.240
want in every place. A position because it will come at a cost that is not commensurate with the amount originally paid

0:30:07.240,0:30:14.080
by the station, which is Abu Dhabi. I always used to go to the C-option times and these

0:30:14.080,0:30:20.440
options times. I don’t even work with them. They are good, so they are not good, but are they what I

0:30:20.440,0:30:28.440
want? Are they the best? What I know is that Kitim will come and we will do the best work. This does not mean that

0:30:28.440,0:30:35.679
my choices were always the best at this price, not the absolute best. I mean, I have a little

0:30:35.679,0:30:41.720
difficulty in choosing the crew, so I started choosing the crew and gathering it,

0:30:41.720,0:30:47.679
and we went into filming. It was very different from everything I know,

0:30:47.679,0:30:53.840
to be honest, I mean, with video clips. And the advertisements, and even about what I studied, being in the middle of

0:30:53.840,0:30:59.200
the event means a completely different topic. I was committed to the things I know and the things I

0:30:59.200,0:31:06.279
studied, so it meant that I faced situations that said I should be more flexible. I understand that this is

0:31:06.279,0:31:13.200
the way to get the best out of it, but I was not that it is necessary. Just like the book and the constitution say

0:31:13.200,0:31:21.039
feminist, I mean, until I remember there was a scene we were filming with a female artist, and there was a word,

0:31:21.039,0:31:27.279
meaning in the script, that you had to say. She said something similar to it, so I came and said to her, “No, you have to

0:31:27.279,0:31:33.039
say such and such because it’s like that,” and she said, “Okay, by God, we filmed the second shot.” ​​She came back. She said the same word

0:31:33.039,0:31:39.240
I suddenly said to her, “But Professor, you have to say this word.” We went back to filming the same thing for a third time,

0:31:39.240,0:31:46.240
and it became a topic of stubbornness. I felt that she was stubborn. I said, “I will be stubborn.” We preferred this

0:31:46.240,0:31:52.799
scene or this shot of this scene for approximately 24 seconds. I remember them until now, so that

0:31:52.799,0:31:59.480
we took a break and finished, and she was stubborn. And I am stubborn, so these events happened. I mean, I think the way out now,

0:31:59.480,0:32:03.679
with the knowledge that I currently have, and maybe in the future, I will have more. It is supposed

0:32:03.679,0:32:11.039
to mean that you have to be flexible with the events that happen. You choose the battles that you are fighting. I mean,

0:32:11.039,0:32:15.799
the issue of this is choosing or changing the word from what was written that she was saying. The battle

0:32:15.799,0:32:22.559
that I had to take 24 ticks and waste half a day in, no, it was the most important battle that I was supposed

0:32:22.559,0:32:27.120
to take, because of this topic, I was back in Flexible. We get the word that she originally said, which is close. I mean,

0:32:27.120,0:32:33.600
I wrote, but the topic B had to be literally the same as the same script, so there were some

0:32:33.600,0:32:40.320
differences in the concepts. Little by little, I began to learn about it during filming and during the period after filming.

0:32:40.320,0:32:46.320
Honesty means that behind photography it is a hobby. I learned the things of the greatest intelligence. It was the number

0:32:46.320,0:32:52.399
of scenes that had to be filmed during the day. I mean, the series, I remember, was approximately 1,200 scenes

0:32:52.399,0:32:59.559
, and the filming required 70 days, and the 70 days have begun little by little. They must be reduced. I mean, there was

0:32:59.559,0:33:07.080
frightening pressure on her. I mean, everyone was interested in quantity, not quality, frankly, and I was fighting over

0:33:07.080,0:33:13.360
quality, and when I say all people, unfortunately, I mean even the actors, and this means a topic. I mean, I know

0:33:13.360,0:33:20.000
a little about it. It might be a shock, to be honest, but I mean, I faced it. I mean, I remember a conversation that happened

0:33:20.000,0:33:26.440
between me. The production company stated that I want to extend the filming days so that I can capture something beautiful

0:33:26.440,0:33:32.000
that will happen. I mean, I have to do 18 scenes each, which means a huge number. I mean, over 70 days, we have to

0:33:32.000,0:33:38.440
start with these numbers, so there is no time. In fact, you are filming day after day, filming every 15 days, day after day.

0:33:38.440,0:33:46.720
Break means these are strange rules, and I don’t think, or rather I am sure, that they are not creatively beneficial to the type

0:33:46.720,0:33:53.039
that was presented at the time. At least I think that this period is a hobby. Things have changed in drama and in

0:33:53.039,0:33:59.559
cinema. Certainly, from a long time ago, it was a little different and better than drama. I remember that a dialogue took place between me

0:33:59.559,0:34:03.960
and the production that I wanted to I increased the days of filming and they told me, “You don’t see, but you are the one who wants to increase.

0:34:03.960,0:34:09.520
” I mean, no one else wants this thing, so I was heartbroken. I told them no, of course, me and the actors, because

0:34:09.520,0:34:16.040
by filming, they mean the relationships that form between the director and the crew surrounding him and

0:34:16.040,0:34:22.520
the actors become like a family, because sometimes we go away for even, say, a week. In places where we had to stay, we were

0:34:22.520,0:34:30.560
together, so we would leave together, we would have lunch together, we would have dinner together, we would go out together, and it would become a very beautiful relationship. Because of

0:34:30.560,0:34:35.599
my relationship and my knowledge of the actors, I told them that I would pass by the actors one by one and I would answer

0:34:35.599,0:34:40.280
from them that they agreed that they wanted to extend filming, so they told me that the production said, “Okay,

0:34:40.280,0:34:44.919
that’s it.” I received this approval, so we are wrong because we are saying that we talked to representatives and they told

0:34:44.919,0:34:50.560
us that we do not want to finish by this date, and if it is completed within 7 days, we are all traveling, so by God,

0:34:50.560,0:34:58.440
I went to slander one of the actors, and the big surprise is that it means 99, but they said

0:34:58.440,0:35:04.200
that we do not want to go longer. And we want to finish with this day, regardless of the result that comes out.

0:35:04.200,0:35:10.480
At my age, I was 24 years old. I mean, at that age and your ambition,

0:35:10.480,0:35:17.359
it was a setback for me. It means the creativity partners that I and I asked and saw in their eyes.

0:35:17.359,0:35:22.960
I mean, this became like stagnation and a dead look, which is not us. We care about creativity. We

0:35:22.960,0:35:28.800
want to finish the day with it, and it is Saturday. It must end. We are traveling on Sunday. I seem to have a shock

0:35:28.800,0:35:33.680
even from my hobby of actors. I mean, I am sure a million people will tell me, “No, we are with you,

0:35:33.680,0:35:39.960
and let us walk and let us finish.” The timing factor remained a problem,

0:35:39.960,0:35:48.160
and I realized then that not all people will definitely share with you. The dream is yours, and even they doubt

0:35:48.160,0:35:55.319
your intentions in the first place. I mean, the interviewer does not always say that your intentions are for the best work. Maybe I

0:35:55.319,0:36:00.240
can say their intentions are for the work. Maybe their intentions are for work, but in another way. But I am the

0:36:00.240,0:36:09.640
one who felt it, and the one who surprised me. Frankly, the days went by, photographing in it is a very scary routine.

0:36:09.640,0:36:13.960
I try from time to time. Then break this routine because sometimes you don't feel that by filming,

0:36:13.960,0:36:19.599
we are not filming the same events. We are filming according to the location. We can fill a bedroom and stay in it for

0:36:19.599,0:36:26.240
days. One bedroom comes in and out, not a lot of conversations, and it becomes a feeling of boredom that we are repeating the same

0:36:26.240,0:36:33.040
thing, the same thing, knowing that it could happen. Scenes between episode one and episode 29, but the feeling of

0:36:33.040,0:36:40.800
you and the crew during work begins to become a little routine and boring. You feel that it means creativity a little.

0:36:40.800,0:36:47.359
Quantity decreases and increases over quality. The smallness of the place and the silence of the place means that it

0:36:47.359,0:36:54.920
affected the hobby. Psychological factors. To be honest, I mean, before we took pictures, it was more like a routine hobby.

0:36:54.920,0:36:59.760
I use photography from time to time as a hobby, a shot with a shot, not with decoupage, which I have. I was

0:36:59.760,0:37:05.040
specific about it, knowing what I was going to do with it. For example, I had a shot that was very challenging for me.

0:37:05.040,0:37:13.599
It was an 11-minute one-shot, and it was between almost all the rooms of the house and when I went outside and into the place

0:37:13.599,0:37:17.760
. And of course, I mean, even with the cameras we were filming with, we were filming with an HD camera,

0:37:17.760,0:37:24.800
so that's not the possibilities in exposure between the inside and outside, and how is a bone-shot necessary?

0:37:24.800,0:37:33.000
We set it on my studio camera, and I remember filming it. One day, it failed. I told them I didn’t like it. I mean,

0:37:33.000,0:37:37.720
we filmed it all day long, and I didn’t like it. We went back to filming the series, and I came back. The

0:37:37.720,0:37:43.560
executive director and I set a second day for me to go back to filming. I mean, reshoot it a second time. Of course, I wish it meant

0:37:43.560,0:37:49.319
the actors, but I was very mean. Make sure that it is equal, and everyone keeps his balance, and how

0:37:49.319,0:37:56.160
will he move from actors to crew, and I settled it wherever you are, watching like this, but in the series,

0:37:56.160,0:38:03.040
it means that it will be wasted. I mean, 31 episodes were a series, so things are lost, so now, and what experience

0:38:03.040,0:38:08.200
I have today, there is a balance between when to let these

0:38:08.200,0:38:14.240
things happen. When your things are normal, what time means that baseball is money, the importance of the things

0:38:14.240,0:38:20.160
you have, you have to decide, like the player on the field. The player on the field does not run throughout the game, meaning

0:38:20.160,0:38:25.920
he distributes the effort. He knows when to stop, when to waste, when to return, when to attack, because

0:38:25.920,0:38:32.800
it is impossible for him to spend 90 minutes always seeing you. It is impossible for the series to have 31 episodes, and all your scenes run, or all

0:38:32.800,0:38:38.880
your scenes are the best. No, there must be a balance and you know the timings, which time to choose, and this

0:38:38.880,0:38:44.359
of course comes and comes and comes, and what an experience, but I kept it with the little time that I had. I was

0:38:44.359,0:38:48.880
trying to make all the scenes run, every viewer being the best thing in the whole series. The best thing, and of course,

0:38:48.880,0:38:54.359
I will collide with reality and the truth, and I will not be able to do it the way you want, or do it

0:38:54.359,0:39:00.200
in a better way. No, it will come out as a distorted version of what I wanted, meaning the result will not

0:39:00.200,0:39:07.119
be satisfactory to the director. At the very least, there would have been problems with the crew

0:39:07.119,0:39:13.839
in the beginning, and with this. I learned a very important job in the series. I remember that we had a lighting ball, and

0:39:13.839,0:39:22.680
we brought it from Egypt. They were all a little nervous at the beginning, on the issue of timing, on the issue of overtime.

0:39:22.680,0:39:30.280
One time, I remember that we passed for 14 hours. They turned off the lights and they left. There was a bit of a topic of discussion, so I

0:39:30.280,0:39:36.160
seemed to have developed a friendly relationship with them during filming. It’s all nice. I used to go to the hotel rooms and we would sit

0:39:36.160,0:39:44.720
and talk. I mean, we really became a family and they seemed to love me. These same people were the ones who turned off

0:39:44.720,0:39:52.079
the lights after 14 hours. I can confirm that on other days we had 20 hours of work, and they were laughing from

0:39:52.079,0:39:58.359
ear to ear, as they say, because they are still working with love, which is very important as a director in Krewe Wiyak.

0:39:58.359,0:40:04.200
He works with you and he loves you, he does not work with you because he is afraid of you and you shouting and you are a dictator and you are the most important

0:40:04.200,0:40:10.880
person in the position. No, never, people give you 200% of love and nothing else. From the time of

0:40:10.880,0:40:17.200
the series and even in the clips, I mean, only in the series because it is the same group for a long time. I have

0:40:17.200,0:40:24.359
this situation that I always care about my relationships. With the football team, there was nothing artificial. In fact, it was a relationship

0:40:24.359,0:40:31.119
that seemed to be just a friendship. But what was concluded and what I am sure of is that people

0:40:31.119,0:40:38.000
only give you 200% when they give you these things while they love you. Filming of the series went on with all its sweetness, every time,

0:40:38.000,0:40:42.800
and the boring routine at times, and watching

0:40:57.680,0:41:06.240
your performance was all important to experience. It is better than this performance. I mean, the work is, I think, one of

0:41:06.240,0:41:11.599
the most important problems that I faced in the second half of the work, which is the work. It was

0:41:11.599,0:41:17.560
supposed to show the first Abu Dhabi Channel and the First Abu Dhabi Channel. At that time, they were planning

0:41:17.560,0:41:22.680
a new channel called Abu Dhabi Al-Emirates, so we know that we made Prime Time. It is the time of

0:41:22.680,0:41:29.240
the first peak in Abu Dhabi. We were excited about this thing and we knew that it would take a

0:41:29.240,0:41:35.920
good viewing time, and as I mentioned in previous episodes, the final fate of the work is very important. Where it will be

0:41:35.920,0:41:41.640
shown, how it will be shown, and who is interested in this show, because it is your trouble and anything you settle will not go away.

0:41:41.640,0:41:48.800
He came out and was not going to deliver Adama to the right place, so I remember the atmosphere, the crew from

0:41:48.800,0:41:53.680
Abu Dhabi TV, that they were taking interviews with the actors and doing photoshots, so I heard that they were setting up

0:41:53.680,0:41:59.119
what were the sound bites or the interviews with the actors, so they said, “Wait for us in Ramadan on

0:41:59.119,0:42:04.400
the Abu Dhabi Emirates channel. Wait, I am the subject, of course.” Most of them were not. Originally from

0:42:04.400,0:42:11.359
the Emirates, they do not know these differences. I am the subject, so I lost my head. I mean,

0:42:11.359,0:42:16.599
my brother Anwar Al-Yasiri was disappointed, so I told him such and such. He said to me, “No, we are the first Abu Dhabi.” I told him, “No

0:42:16.599,0:42:22.920
, today you heard recording people saying this.” The news of the production came from Abu Dhabi and the person in charge,

0:42:22.920,0:42:27.920
so they said, “Indeed, the series is going to go.” On Abu Dhabi, the Emirates, and Abu Dhabi, the Emirates, there is a new channel

0:42:27.920,0:42:34.240
this year. I mean, who will watch it at all? I had a very big problem, especially, I mean, from

0:42:34.240,0:42:40.200
the half of the work until the end. I know that this work when it comes out, so watching it will be

0:42:40.200,0:42:45.400
like that, and the next problem is when it comes out. Isla appeared not even at the time of the peak of the

0:42:45.400,0:42:49.800
new channel, which no one knew. It was then, of course, by then it became an important channel, but at that time it was

0:42:49.800,0:42:57.400
a risk that we were bringing a big name like Widad Al Kuwari, big names like heroes, so the work was

0:42:57.400,0:43:02.400
worthy and with great achievements, deserving of being number one in Abu Dhabi in Ramadan. Of course, the work later

0:43:02.400,0:43:08.160
went to MBC and Abu Dhabi, the first went to these channels, but I am talking about that, at the time of its first broadcast,

0:43:08.160,0:43:14.119
the channel should have been there, but unfortunately, it means that while he chose to be in the opening of

0:43:14.119,0:43:20.160
the new channel, his hobby influenced its spread, and this means the feeling I had from the text of the filming.

0:43:20.160,0:43:26.200
Until I finished filming, editing, delivery, and everything else, I mean, what I came out

0:43:26.200,0:43:32.559
of is honesty from this work, in addition to learning and experimenting, until I learned the mistakes that I made.

0:43:32.559,0:43:39.280
I have to fix it because I knew that opinions, for example, as a hobby, were

0:43:39.280,0:43:45.520
filled with opinions: She was wrong. A few times, I lost the opinions of She was right. I mean, it's a bit of a difficult equation, but I mean, I had an evaluation of it after

0:43:45.520,0:43:50.680
filming. The most important thing I got out of the work is that, from my point of view, it's the relationships that I built in

0:43:50.680,0:43:57.800
a work location. I have made very important friendships to this day with actors and crew, which I think is

0:43:57.800,0:44:03.760
the most important of all, and my hobby is still there, and with me, I mean, Mansour Al-Faili, my partner in

0:44:03.760,0:44:09.800
everything, Omar Al-Bayati became my production manager in everything, and there are people who have stayed with me to this

0:44:09.800,0:44:15.640
day. These are the things that I got out of work, I think they were the most important to me out of

0:44:15.640,0:44:22.319
everything, and I remember even the last day of filming. I mean, how much would I exaggerate if I said that 80% of the crew were

0:44:22.319,0:44:28.880
crying because the work was going to end, not because it meant the beauty and importance of the work, not because it meant they would

0:44:28.880,0:44:35.319
stay away from it. The family that was formed during these three months, the work was finished and we began to sleep.

0:44:35.319,0:44:41.200
Of course, the editing of drama and cinema begins approximately at the second of the shooting day. This means that

0:44:41.200,0:44:48.839
the editor begins assembling the scenes and whoever produced them, which is called assembly. I mean, in cinema, with drama

0:44:48.839,0:44:55.359
or assembling the scenes. Every scene we film, we film an entire scene, and it falls into the time line. Or

0:44:55.359,0:45:01.000
the project of the episode that he is supposed to be in. This scene he knows, of course, the clacket or the slate.

0:45:01.000,0:45:06.960
All these details are written in it. The element of Jinn is producing and producing. It remains from the second day of filming. When we finish

0:45:06.960,0:45:14.160
filming, he almost compiles the entire series, producing it in his own way, according to the shot, not what

0:45:14.160,0:45:20.680
the director has with his experience. I mean, it's just work. The director must sit with the editor and show each

0:45:20.680,0:45:26.240
episode collecting the scenes that the editor has arranged with assembly or assembly, and they seem

0:45:26.240,0:45:32.760
to let go of them and their producers according to the director’s vision. What do you see from the rhythm and such and such things? I mean,

0:45:32.760,0:45:38.559
the editing journey began, and to be honest, everyone left, but I and the editor who are responsible for the work

0:45:38.559,0:45:46.000
and the construction of Ramadan in it. It means, even if we are, thank God, by analogy in Egypt, the curtains that we have

0:45:46.000,0:45:52.800
and nothing. I mean, in Egypt, they are filming and the work is going on after that. We do not mean we are finished. It could have been three

0:45:52.800,0:46:03.640
weeks of Ramadan remaining, so it means we are overweight and we are greeting. It means a difficult but beautiful journey for sure.

0:46:03.640,0:46:09.280
The editor, Osama Al-Asma, was one of the very talented people and a producer. Yay. I mean, with great honesty

0:46:09.280,0:46:15.559
, this work and we spent more than an hour every day, until sometimes

0:46:15.559,0:46:21.800
it would go after 20 hours. I would finish the remaining four and five hours. I mean, it was a very, very

0:46:21.800,0:46:27.319
tiring topic. I mean, we got to the montage. I remember that

0:46:27.319,0:46:33.440
I delivered the episode on the 29th of Ramadan, meaning it was almost after episode 15. We started handing over the episode before Two days after

0:46:33.440,0:46:41.400
it was originally shown on television, it was a hobby that was devoted to the editing journey. A hobby. There were people who helped me

0:46:41.400,0:46:46.040
with this work. I mean, remember who the artist Fayez Saeed is. I mean, the one who donated the soundtrack,

0:46:46.040,0:46:52.359
the instrumental recording, of course, the soundtrack, I mean, other than it, Mr. Rafi, the beautiful Iraqi artist

0:46:52.359,0:46:59.040
, but the recording was donated by him, the Palestine recording. He even paid

0:46:59.040,0:47:05.520
the musicians, Maestro Mohamed Saleh, in addition to the mixing and the entire series, in very large sums, meaning

0:47:05.520,0:47:10.880
it was almost free, but I helped Nasser Al-Jahouri and Mansour Zayed provide

0:47:10.880,0:47:16.760
the song for the series, meaning for free. It was this because it means

0:47:16.760,0:47:22.559
producing paid work from the stations, and to this day, as I said, it is never elevated to the fact that

0:47:22.559,0:47:29.559
you are the one who produces work. What you want is that it is not uplifting that all the music is recorded with a cover of the same bag and

0:47:29.559,0:47:35.079
mixed notes. These things were all new terms for them, but I insisted on them, and the people

0:47:35.079,0:47:41.119
who love me and I love them and have a relationship with them, Zaina, helped me very much. I love this work. I always

0:47:41.119,0:47:47.720
feel that I am indebted to them because it is like this. The moments proved his authenticity and the strength of the relationship.

0:47:47.720,0:47:56.440
In fact, the work between me and them ended, as it was more like a prison. It is honesty. I mean, I even remember

0:47:56.440,0:48:02.960
when I looked back after we finished editing and the work was delivered. I went out and went to the mall. I went to a place where I felt

0:48:02.960,0:48:13.040
the same as someone who was in prison and came out innocent. It means a psychological hobby that was mostly negatively affected. To be honest, I mean,

0:48:13.040,0:48:19.359
I used to go abroad and feel like myself, even if I was in one world now, I am in another world. I mean, a hobby that had a psychological effect

0:48:19.359,0:48:27.680
on the work. In a way, I would say success, but in the form of presence, that means fine, but as for me, as a director

0:48:27.680,0:48:34.359
for the first time in drama, I like to have great directors send me Hanouni messages, I mean, I have to. Some

0:48:34.359,0:48:42.440
nice feelings from many directors in the Gulf scene, but the decision I reached after

0:48:42.440,0:48:52.839
I finished the series and handed it over is that it is still impossible in my life to make 30 episodes because it is impossible

0:48:52.839,0:49:01.079
with these numbers that are given to this day in the Arab world, that 30 episodes is useless and useless,

0:49:01.079,0:49:07.920
and the director has gone. He finishes the work and in the best case scenario, he advances 30 to 40% of what is

0:49:07.920,0:49:15.520
planned, which is estimated to be impossible during the days of filming, and the amount paid does not help in the fact that you are presenting

0:49:15.520,0:49:24.440
content that is ready, complete, artistically supported, creative, and of a good type. You are presenting a different story with it that

0:49:24.440,0:49:32.160
deals with a different thing, especially for the viewer. In Gulf drama, with the number of days

0:49:32.160,0:49:39.200
and the budgets provided, I have never decided to enter the 30-episode series again. In fact, from 2009

0:49:39.200,0:49:44.319
to this day, I have not repeated the 30-episode experience. I settled for six-episode 12-episode series

0:49:44.319,0:49:50.400
, and to this day, I always get offers for a 30-episode series.

0:49:50.400,0:49:59.799
I mean, I don’t say I refuse, but I mean. He apologized nicely and promised me 30 episodes with this opinion

0:49:59.799,0:50:05.960
Until he reaches today that he is presenting her with the budget for each episode, just as he presents budgets

0:50:05.960,0:50:12.079
for series with six or more episodes, he must present it to 30, meaning he must multiply the number by 30 in order for

0:50:12.079,0:50:18.720
the series to come out well, and today we are watching, meaning 30 episodes, it has begun to decrease little by little, and by

0:50:18.720,0:50:26.240
the way, I mean even more. Arabic drama is not based on 30 episodes, meaning 30 episodes. This is something new

0:50:26.240,0:50:31.520
in Arabic drama. I mean, if you return the old series, Rafa Al-Hagan to Al-Helmeya,

0:50:31.520,0:50:37.400
all the series are not 13-14, even the old Gulf institutions, Darb Al-Zalak and others, I mean,

0:50:37.400,0:50:45.880
they are all 13-14-12. These numbers mean that it is necessary. It is parallel to the days of Ramadan, regardless of

0:50:45.880,0:50:55.079
what is presented, I think it is a topic, meaning it is not true and a museum for the sake of all the staff, including technicians and

0:50:55.079,0:51:01.960
actors, so I mean, at a discount, if I want to make a talk, I mean, a series, how difficult it is to talk, and the panels of its episode that

0:51:01.960,0:51:07.920
I presented are intended for God’s sake podcast alone, I mean, this is called Audible, I have to make a podcast for this.

0:51:07.920,0:51:13.920
The series is called Subdued until it fulfills all the things that brought this work to fruition,

0:51:13.920,0:51:22.319
and this is where our episode ended today. I know, it may have been a little long, but it was very important in it. I mean, there were events that

0:51:22.319,0:51:30.200
greatly affected me in my decisions and in my personality that followed these events. I mean, as

0:51:30.200,0:51:35.559
I say, every time he sleeps and comes back. From the same place, listen to it again. I hope I did what

0:51:35.559,0:51:40.599
I mentioned to you today. Thank you very much
