The success of the series “Lulu” came as a surprise to many, after it achieved unprecedented views and audiences, especially since it is the first absolute starring of actress Mai Omar, who does not have a great artistic history, to announce her new series, Queen of the Stage, after a year punctuated by many criticisms and technical and production problems that She and her husband, director Mohamed Sami, were exposed to her during last Ramadan, after the series "The Seed of the Strangers" was shown, where two heavy-caliber stars, Ahmed El-Sakka and Amir Karara, participated in the championship.

Despite the popularity that Mai Omar achieved in “The Pearl Series” through 40 episodes presented by director Mohamed Abdel Salam, he dealt with a success story that was repeated repeatedly in cinema and television, a simple singer from a popular environment who reaches the world and is exposed to many conspiracies, but the young actress did not succeed in catching The views were last Ramadan, and her husband, director Mohamed Sami's attempts to support her, did not find her.

To impose her Ramadan appearance, despite his attribution of the championship to Sakka and Karara, especially since the latter had a role in a number of successful films and series during the past seasons. Rather, the show caused all the heroes and the director to become a subject of ridicule and criticism during the presentation of "The Offspring of Strangers" last Ramadan.

The Queen of Stage..in the footsteps of Lulu

It seems that Mai Omar has chosen the guaranteed path to success away from the big names who shared the tournament, so she decided to return again to the "Luel" approach, where she announced her new experience through the "MBC Trending" program.

It also seems that Mai Omar in "The Queen of the Stage" will present a success story as a singer, as the new series also includes songs that she will prepare for in the coming period.

And if the series "Luul" was written by Mai Omar herself, and her husband, director Mohamed Sami, took over the entire supervision of the work, the young actress did not announce the team that will co-star and direct.

Mai Omar Najma .. Coincidence or compliment?

Mai Omar, who has calm and beautiful features worthy of an artist who shares the hero of the work, but is not relied upon in his success, as participating stars such as Mohamed Ramadan, Ahmed El Sakka and Tamer Hosni.

But her marriage to director Mohamed Sami in 2010 transformed her attitudes from journalism after graduating from the American University in Cairo to directing in the beginning, and she did one directing experience through a video clip for artist Rola Saad, but Mai Omar was not satisfied with the experience, and she felt that she wanted to She went through the acting experience on her own, so her husband assigned her a small role in the series "Hekayat Hayat" starring Ghada Abdel Razek in 2013, which witnessed the beginning of her appearance as an actress.

After this opportunity, Mai Omar decided to study acting with Marwa Jibril in order to develop her abilities as an actress, so that she could appear in front of the screen, and then appeared in a relatively larger role in front of Haifa Wehbe in "Words on Paper" with director Mohamed Sami as well.

Director's wife

A few years later, Muhammad Sami gave his wife the greatest opportunity in the series “Al Ostoura” in front of Muhammad Ramadan, and he modified the script in her favour, which angered the heroines of the work, Yasmine Sabry and Nasreen Amin.

But Mai ignored the matter and then presented in 2017, the series “Wind Al Madam” in front of Ahmed Fahmy, and with director Karim Al-Adl, in an attempt not to attach her artistic name to her husband, and then participated in “Weld El Ghalaba” with Mohamed Sami as well, which also gave her the opportunity to participate in cinematically. In front of Tamer Hosni in "Goodbye", Mai Omar then launched into the world of absolute heroism, through the series "Lu'lu" with director Mohamed Abdel Salam.

On her question about her work, always associated with the name of her husband, director Muhammad Sami, Mai Omar did not deny - in a television interview with the media, Mona El-Shazly - that she had the right to be represented in her husband's work, and considered that it was natural for them to work together.

The success of the Pearl series

Mai Omar was able to get high viewership after showing the series Lulu on the "Shahid" platform, and then on the DMC channel, and the series succeeded in introducing Mai Omar as a singer, although the real female voice of the heroine's character was Lulu. Singer Nour Abdel Salam.

However, Mai Omar decided to take advantage of the matter by offering a singing experience through "Playback", after he asked her to attend on one of the occasions to present the songs of the series "Lu'lou".

Which prompted her to think about holding concerts, but she changed the idea and decided to present a new dramatic work entitled "The Queen of the Stage", in which she also appears with new songs.

Pearl series errors

Despite the popularity of the series "Luul", the work carried some illogical exaggerations, whether in the picture or script, as director Mohamed Abdel Salam filmed the concert of the heroine's character, Pearl - in a theater that includes hundreds of thousands of attendees - in a very exaggerated way, as if Taylor Swift or Jennifer Lopez.

Among the mistakes of the Lulu series was the appearance of Mai Omar or Lulu throughout the scenes with cosmetics, even in the scenes of her presence in the hospital, so that the actress Salwa Othman, who presented the character of Lulu’s mother, appeared in one of the hospital scenes without cosmetics, to appear in the same scene afterwards while she put on full makeup.

Director Mohamed Abdel Salam also failed when he used Photoshop as an alternative solution to travel to Paris, where filming was during the period of the spread of the Corona virus (Covid-19), in the scenes that collected Pearl with her husband, Tariq, in a naive way, so that it was the most prominent mistakes of the Pearl series.

Mohammed Abdulsalam

The mistakes of the Lulu series affected director Mohamed Abdel Salam, who was also doing his first experience as a director after he participated as an assistant director and executive director in works such as the movie “Goodbye” and the series “Weld El Ghalaba”, and a year later, Mohamed Abdel Salam returned, again as a first assistant director. With director Mohamed Sami in "The Offspring of Strangers".

The great controversy raised by the Lulu series - and after it, "The Offspring of the Strangers" - made Mai Omar prefer to take a vacation before returning again, so she decided to participate in the cinematography in the movie "Daughters of Rizk", in which she co-stars with Sherine Reda and Arwa Gouda, which is the film on It seems that he will take advantage of the success of the previous two parts of "Awlad Rizk".

She will also participate in the movie "A Few Hours One Day" with Muhammad Sharnoubi, Hisham Majed, Hana Al-Zahid, Ahmed Al-Saadani and Nahid Al-Sibai, in an attempt to appear in a new dress that heals the criticisms that she has been subjected to over the past years.
