Since the beginning of her artistic steps, the young actress Jamila Awad has achieved a special imprint since the series "Under Control", passing through "Do not extinguish the sun", and distinguished cinematic films, such as "The Guest", "Seven Seven" and "From 30 Years", and finally when it topped Jamila starring the youth movie, "Secondary Girls".
In her interview with «Emirates Today», Jamila confirmed that she works with the logic of art, and that the championship titles are not concerned with her, and she talked about her new movie, and its fierce competition among adult films over the winter season revenues, reactions, and a reason, after which it finally got away from TV business.
Jamila said about the beginning of her candidacy, and the reason for her enthusiasm for the movie "Secondary Girls", that she had not been presented by the dramatic region that belongs to the small youth group, which is the secondary class, although she was in the series "Under Control", she presented the role of a student, but did not go into depth at this stage And when she was offered "secondary girls", she found that the work bears the details of the secondary stage, the relationship of male and female students, feelings, feelings and problems, all of which are technically new things, and this is why she got excited and accepted the title of the movie, as the film carries a great challenge in terms of the character that it offers, which is Sally's character, She prepared the character by watching high school students and readers E about them, in addition to recalling her memories of the secondary period.
"My embodiment of the character was not the biggest fear for me, but I was terrified of the reaction of the audience, especially since the high school students will have very large criticisms, and I fear failure ... Of course the characters are written in a new and very good way, but the details may seem frightening some The thing. Thank God the audience loved the character, and the film succeeded, and it achieved very good revenues, although it competed with big films and great stars, such as Tamer Hosni and Mohamed Adel Imam.
And about her participation in the movie "Secondary Girls", despite the presence of a large number of young female artists in the work, such as Hanadi Muhanna, Mayar al-Ghaiti and Hoda al-Mufti, Jamila said: "From my beginning I used to play my role, and I do not count calculations such as the number of stars and the size of roles, and I generally do not look To things in this way, and I am not afraid of things that others fear of, on the contrary, I love competition, and I consider it a very healthy and encouraging phenomenon, and it makes the actor come out of his best and be responsible. ”
"Ultimate Championship"
But after a group of important artworks, how do you see Jamila Awad, "Ultimate Championship," after she released a poster for the movie "Secondary Girls"? Jamila replied by saying: “Ultimate or collective championship or second championship are things that do not concern me very much, and I did not enter art and into my calculations these things, because it is very frankly like all the terms made by producers and cinematographers, and they may have imposed it in one way or another on the artistic life and actors, so it happened to them. And accounts for some, and I don’t blame them of course. As for me, I only work with the logic of art, love, passion and pleasure, regardless of the names, and what interests me as an actress is the role, and what I will present through the movie, and will it add me experience or not, and these are my beliefs that I will walk according to And I will not change it for any reasons. ”
Things do not interest me
Jamila pointed out that she rejected many of the absolute championships, in the technical language of the market, because she did not feel the importance of the work or its value, and also found that if the step was rushed when it was in its infancy, it could eliminate her artistic career. "People do not remember whether the actor was a hero or his name was the first name on the work badge, or if it was the most rewarded, but they remember the role, and they love the character that is mastered, and they are influenced by it, and so on. Other things do not concern me because I only care about providing what matters to the public ».
And about her lack of dramatic participation in the recent period, Jamila said: "Maybe I have been shown very distinguished cinematic works in recent years, and this is why I focused on cinema, although my beginning is dramatic, and the truth is that the drama is very difficult, and requires effort and a very long time, and I cannot participate in work Unless it was very good and appropriate .. Perhaps these conditions were not available in what was presented to me recently, but I do not interrupt the drama, and on the contrary, I love it, and I read several roles now, and perhaps I will choose a work from them very soon ».
- What interests me as an actress is the role, and will the experience add to me or not? These are my beliefs that I will follow.
