[Music] From attempts to successes, how has the level

0:00:15.160,0:00:22.000
of what I present become comparable to the level of production in major music companies? Not everything is judged before

0:00:22.000,0:00:31.039
you know it. This was my experience with the artist Alaa Saad. Yumah. The scorpion pinched me. The taste of success and a condition

0:00:31.039,0:00:40.160
called Hossam Al-Rassam. Walid Al-Shami. An artistic duet and its launch is the success of this. Topics and more, we will

0:00:40.160,0:00:46.680
cover today in the fourth episode of the audio podcast with me, Yasser Al-Yasiri. In the

0:00:46.680,0:00:52.559
previous episode, we talked about the experience I had of filming two workers for the artist Basil Al-Aziz

0:00:52.559,0:00:58.760
in the cinema style in Turkey. How was the experience in full and my dealings with the Turkish crew, and after

0:00:58.760,0:01:05.439
the montage and graphics stages, we returned and showed the two clips to Dubai, and now it's time

0:01:05.439,0:01:13.200
to show them on screens, but I want to talk about how this experience changed me as a director and even

0:01:13.200,0:01:19.159
as a person. In the period before these two clips, I had works, some of which were successful, and works

0:01:19.159,0:01:25.439
whose artistic level is considered good, but I had confidence in myself that the thing I was going to tell the client

0:01:25.439,0:01:31.680
would come true. Or the artist who always comes to me with the feeling that he is less than what he could aspire to,

0:01:31.680,0:01:38.119
or who is available in the market, which means the two works that I did

0:01:38.119,0:01:43.600
in Turkey and which were the same. Of course, I always repeat and reiterate the topic of cinematography because it means

0:01:43.600,0:01:49.600
what I explained in the previous episode and I will explain it now on. Hurry so that the topic is continuous and

0:01:49.600,0:01:55.600
its importance is known. What about the works that are depicted in the cinematic way? I had that in mind in 2005, and before

0:01:55.600,0:02:00.399
these works were considered to be the top works, and they are the works that are classified as works that

0:02:00.399,0:02:06.039
are comparable to the works of great artists in other companies. The issue of my entry into this

0:02:06.039,0:02:12.160
world was... It means that I will take a step forward since we came back and the works are in my hands, even

0:02:12.160,0:02:18.640
before they are shown on the screen. It has changed me first as a director and in my self-confidence because it is the work

0:02:18.640,0:02:25.319
that I had before. Of course, that means the client or the artist until he comes and works with you on a clip as long as he does not

0:02:25.319,0:02:31.040
have mobile phones and WhatsApp him. These things mean that they would most likely come to me for editing

0:02:31.040,0:02:36.800
and I would show them to work on the editor who is present in the editing. He said that he was the one who photographed it, and as

0:02:36.800,0:02:43.840
a result of their reaction to the work that they saw, he would either get excited that he would initially film this one with me,

0:02:43.840,0:02:49.920
or the second thing would be that how much or what he would pay for this work, so I I must have experience or

0:02:49.920,0:02:56.680
proof that for the work to come out in a certain way, such and such amount must be paid to him, and this is

0:02:56.680,0:03:03.400
the evidence. I narrate the clip, so the precedent is the clip that I made in Turkey, which means it was not in it.

0:03:03.400,0:03:08.400
Let us say the proof is that, let us go to the level above, it was always oh, but this is

0:03:08.400,0:03:14.640
the level. What we were going to do was settle it, so the issue was that I convinced him that he would work with me more than

0:03:14.640,0:03:20.640
I convinced him that he would raise his stock and raise his production idea so that he would do something new.

0:03:20.640,0:03:26.040
Even before they appeared on television, the works of these two dogs were beneficial to me.

0:03:26.040,0:03:32.239
I now had self-confidence, so the artist would come. He mentioned, of course, some amateur artists who saw

0:03:32.239,0:03:37.319
the dog in the montage. I don't want to mention their names. I mean, some of them I cooperated with, and no matter how much

0:03:37.319,0:03:45.319
I cooperated with them, but I mean, their reaction was different, or maybe my confidence in myself increased, so I felt

0:03:45.319,0:03:52.120
their reaction was different, but I can feel that they saw something throughout the clip. Of course they are watching. I mean,

0:03:52.120,0:04:01.120
I

0:04:01.120,0:04:07.879
hear the words of a very sweet, who is fooling in Iraq

0:04:07.879,0:04:13.680
. And

0:04:13.680,0:04:19.639
now, I have convinced the artist that he is working with me, and he has not yet changed the formula in which he deals with

0:04:19.639,0:04:26.680
the works. This means that it has been a radical change for me as a director and even as a person. Frankly,

0:04:26.680,0:04:32.919
my self-confidence, my confidence in my talent, the response to the doubts that I had previously,

0:04:32.919,0:04:37.680
that this thing that I am trying to do is true. Or does this not mean the impact of my hobby for these clips? Even

0:04:37.680,0:04:44.120
before the advent of television, my hobby influenced my personal formation and my artistic formation as a director, because

0:04:44.120,0:04:50.639
these two works in the artistic term and filmed in the manner of cinema. Initially, I thought of it as a comparison to

0:04:50.639,0:04:56.000
the works that appeared at the time on Rotana or on Melody or on Music and the channels that

0:04:56.000,0:05:03.199
were considered at the time. The highest category of stars, as soon as there is proof that

0:05:03.199,0:05:09.360
this thing can happen, and it is possible that Yasser is the one who does it other than as a hobby. From the way I approach it, I,

0:05:09.360,0:05:17.160
as a director, are among the clients and artists, and the effect we said on my self-confidence is necessarily

0:05:29.720,0:05:36.400
the things that need to be strengthened, and I focus on offering something different, something new. There is no one to come up

0:05:36.400,0:05:43.479
with an idea or to use a specific technique. I started researching, reading, and seeing things more and more. I saw

0:05:43.479,0:05:48.360
machines before I used to see movies. They were a dream for me, and this is what they were

0:05:48.360,0:05:54.880
doing now. It happened to me, not that I wanted to learn how to do this thing and implement it. Of course,

0:05:54.880,0:06:01.039
this is the journey. Between my arrival from Turkey to Dubai until a dog appeared on television, there were

0:06:01.039,0:06:06.440
many meetings, clients and artists witnessing the experience that Yasser had with Basil in Turkey

0:06:06.440,0:06:11.639
, and as we said, the opinions I heard were mostly positive and led to future work

0:06:11.639,0:06:17.360
with a large number of artists, including the clip. This will be shown on television and before

0:06:17.360,0:06:24.000
, meaning in the Gulf region, all singers prefer that the work be shown exclusively first thing before it was.

0:06:24.000,0:06:29.360
The channels look like this. The graphic design of the channel means that this work is exclusive.

0:06:29.360,0:06:36.400
I mean, God is important to the channels. Singers in the Gulf, Iraq in general,

0:06:36.400,0:06:43.280
and even the Levant to some extent prefer that the work is shown exclusively on stars, and the exclusive work

0:06:43.280,0:06:49.280
, of course, the channel will pay more attention to it. It will appear a number of times. It was bigger, meaning it led to wider dissemination,

0:06:49.280,0:06:55.520
so the work was finished and was shown on television. The work was shown on television. Frankly, I wouldn’t say it was a success. It

0:06:55.520,0:07:03.240
was a hit and it broke the world. It meant receiving it. Let’s say it was normal to good, but the artistic benefit

0:07:03.240,0:07:10.639
that I benefited from, I mean, no, it is priceless, and it actually changed me as a director and Canson in a

0:07:10.639,0:07:16.440
big way. This is the period when I doubted that I would work for money

0:07:16.440,0:07:21.800
only and not work for the things that I am convinced of and that I want to offer, and of course

0:07:21.800,0:07:27.560
the clips that I made in Turkey had a positive impact on the idea that I use

0:07:27.560,0:07:34.039
quality and not quantity. Quantity means quantity, so I use quality. At the expense of quantity, at this

0:07:34.039,0:07:41.919
stage, the people close to me and those around me, even with the presence of these two clips that I filmed

0:07:41.919,0:07:47.720
while leaving the clothes of the dear, were after them with the same look that what do you mean? I went and made

0:07:47.720,0:07:54.560
a clip and filmed it and made a story and submitted, for example, filmed with a movie camera in a foreign country.

0:07:54.560,0:08:00.240
You are still like a person who wants to make a story. Your path to a future in this artistic work.

0:08:00.240,0:08:06.240
The money that will come and the money that will come is the most important thing. I mean, if you stay, every two months, every

0:08:06.240,0:08:11.639
three months, you will make a song, and this, and that means, and often at that time, by the way, that means even the wages

0:08:11.639,0:08:19.240
that, for example, before we do the work, we agree to set a budget. I present it to the artist or the company,

0:08:19.240,0:08:25.840
they see it and agree on it, and we reach a certain price. We agree that this song, in accordance with the idea

0:08:25.840,0:08:31.120
that we agreed upon or what we specified, will cost this number or this amount. After

0:08:31.120,0:08:36.640
approval, that means we are done with work and start preparing, so what happens is that it is always the highest wage

0:08:36.640,0:08:44.000
for the director who is going to settle it. Working in most of the clips at that time, I was always

0:08:44.000,0:08:49.120
keeping it on the budget because I was asking for new jobs, I was asking for things that I wanted to do that I had not done

0:08:49.120,0:08:54.480
before, and I knew that these things would advance me a step forward and could be an investment for

0:08:54.480,0:09:00.360
the future at that age. Was I really thinking that it was an investment? I didn't want to make it a future, or I

0:09:00.360,0:09:06.720
wanted to make it just to prove that I have important tools or to prove my talent. Frankly,

0:09:06.720,0:09:12.920
I can't define the goal, but this is what has happened now. I would say it was an investment in the future at

0:09:12.920,0:09:19.320
that time. I think the prevailing feeling for me was that I want to prove myself, I want to see things.

0:09:19.320,0:09:24.279
It's new, it's nice, I want to hear people say to me, "Wow, how did this happen? It's so nice." I mean, I was

0:09:24.279,0:09:31.640
immersed in these feelings more. Maybe it's more like an investment for the future, and this is an

0:09:31.640,0:09:38.519
important thing because it means now, even when the most experienced and the most experienced are always giving advice to

0:09:38.519,0:09:44.320
those of younger or younger ages. Ages that do not have experience or are young or have energy, we always

0:09:44.320,0:09:52.160
try to advise them of what we have reached. We are currently thinking, and this is of course a good thing, but I always

0:09:52.160,0:09:57.800
want to remember that at that age I was always the one who listened to advice, and with the vigor and energy of youth,

0:09:57.800,0:10:03.279
I always feel that I am healthy, and that as a young man I am the healthiest. I am the one who has the right ideas, and I am the one who

0:10:03.279,0:10:09.800
knows, and I am the one who saw, and I am the one who studied and delved into the subject, so I am the right one, and you are the one who wants to give

0:10:09.800,0:10:15.320
me advice. I mean, in the end, you are not on your own terms, so my advice will not affect what I will

0:10:15.320,0:10:20.959
always give. Of course, the difference between generations is always the older generation. He gives advice

0:10:20.959,0:10:25.240
, says young people who do not listen, and young people who take advice say that this older generation gives

0:10:25.240,0:10:30.079
advice that will not constitute anything positive for me, and I think this topic means healthy,

0:10:30.079,0:10:38.320
because sometimes the strength and energy do not always lead you to do things wrong, perhaps the title or justification

0:10:38.320,0:10:45.760
for the work or action that you are going to do. Settlements as a young man with your enthusiasm and impulsiveness may not fall under the labels.

0:10:45.760,0:10:51.800
If they were at an older age, they would have complications and a greater understanding of the meaning of life, but they could lead

0:10:51.800,0:10:57.079
to the same thing. This is an example of what I said, meaning that when I was spending my money

0:10:57.079,0:11:03.560
as if I was supposed to be the one who took it as wages for the dog, I was not. Maybe then I think that it is an investment

0:11:03.560,0:11:09.480
for my path and my future, and I wanted to do only the best thing, but when we combine the two points of view,

0:11:09.480,0:11:15.480
they will reach the same result, and this means that the result is the same, but the way of understanding it

0:11:15.480,0:11:20.639
may differ from the young man to the one who has years of experience to the one who has 20 years of experience. 50

0:11:20.639,0:11:27.880
years, 60 years, and so on, the names will differ depending on the challenges that the person faces. Everyone

0:11:27.880,0:11:32.839
will give you a different name and justification for presenting them. Every age stage

0:11:32.839,0:11:37.519
has different justifications for the same situation, and the result will most likely remain the same. But

0:11:37.519,0:11:43.920
we go back to calling it by different names. The important thing is that I have remained in this style and in this way. I

0:11:43.920,0:11:50.480
always paid my fees for the work, saying that I was doing different things, so what is

0:11:50.480,0:11:57.360
the clip “We Lost You” by the artist Basil Aziz, and about four weeks later, “My Soul Dog” came out in your hands

0:11:57.360,0:12:03.200
as well, the artist Basil Al-Aziz, as we said, had a positive impact on him as a director and as a person,

0:12:03.200,0:12:11.079
and I began to hear, I mean, compliments from people. I started to hear praises from artists. I started to see

0:12:11.079,0:12:17.519
different clients and artists from different classes coming to me and asking me for works that I would do or leave.

0:12:17.519,0:12:23.800
I film it in Turkey and with them because, as I said in the previous episode, filming before, especially

0:12:23.800,0:12:29.560
for singers in the Gulf and Iraqi singers, was confined to a

0:12:29.560,0:12:36.040
higher level. It was confined between Syria and Lebanon. Currently, as a director, I am present in the scene and I have

0:12:36.040,0:12:42.680
experience that I filmed in Turkey. This is a factor of temptation for the client or artist, but it is In fact, he comes and tries

0:12:42.680,0:12:48.279
to film Yasser's clip and goes to make Turkish music. The type of clips, the technology that was used in them,

0:12:48.279,0:12:54.760
and the location that was filmed in them greatly affected the works that I received in the future after

0:12:54.760,0:13:00.680
these two works, so I started hearing from artists. I started meeting with a bigger artist, of course. This means that every

0:13:00.680,0:13:06.839
time I get a job, I will come and try to mention him. On, on, on, as much as I can, but I was a little lost, so I will summarize

0:13:06.839,0:13:13.199
the work because there was a lot of work that happened between submitting the two clips to him and the work

0:13:13.199,0:13:22.360
that I wanted to deliver and talk about in detail, so I started receiving offers from companies, and I started hearing from

0:13:22.360,0:13:28.600
companies like Rotana, who called me and offered me offers. Works that I film for them and of course this is a big move

0:13:28.600,0:13:35.519
for me at that time and until now it is one of the largest companies, if not the largest,

0:13:35.519,0:13:42.079
as soon as they communicated with me and wanted me to present work. This was for me something that was considered legendary,

0:13:42.079,0:13:47.959
and at that time and with my appearance, I as a director proved himself

0:13:47.959,0:13:58.279
with two works. The appearance of a person who is very dear to me and who had a great influence in every way on my professional future.

0:13:58.279,0:14:03.040
This person is the great artist Walid Al-Shami. The artist Walid Al-Shami, as I mentioned in

0:14:03.040,0:14:10.040
previous episodes. I know him as a friendship. Almost from 2002, the artist and Al-Shami used to record a choir,

0:14:10.040,0:14:15.079
and the choir and the choir, I mean, they would stop and record things related to the songs. The clips that

0:14:15.079,0:14:20.880
concern the choir and those who used to come to our studio, as I mentioned in the first episode, that there will

0:14:20.880,0:14:26.720
be a period of sitting and waiting for other reservations, and there will be communication between me and them, in addition to the fact that

0:14:26.720,0:14:32.320
they are sitting, and before that means the sex that we can settle, either by watching TV or playing a live game

0:14:32.320,0:14:39.639
on the phone, meaning these are the things that we distract ourselves with. With it, Al-Hakim was forced to do it, so I made friends with

0:14:39.639,0:14:43.959
most of the musicians and with most of the young people in the choir, including of course the

0:14:43.959,0:14:50.920
great artist Wali Al-Shami. Wali Al-Shami had, I mean, his voice, of course, as we knew, a great

0:14:50.920,0:14:56.360
and dangerous voice. I watched Majrooh at the time record a single song and began to want to promote it, and unfortunately

0:14:56.360,0:15:03.079
this is the song. I mean, I didn't connect to a production company and it didn't come out and then it went to another artist, but

0:15:03.079,0:15:10.399
Walid at that time was presenting melodies to singers, some of which were important and striking melodies like

0:15:10.399,0:15:15.399
Muhajir by the artist Hatem Al-Iraqi and Saharni by the artist Hatem Al-Iraqi. He works especially with the artist

0:15:15.399,0:15:23.519
Hatem Al-Iraqi, so Walid Al-Shami coincided with his work as a composer for popular works. He had great successes and his work in

0:15:23.519,0:15:30.839
the choir. He had many attempts to become a singer, but of course

0:15:30.839,0:15:36.759
the right opportunity did not come to the brother with the production companies, and I could not talk about, I mean, from Walid’s tongue, why did it happen or what did not

0:15:36.759,0:15:42.800
happen, but I am talking from my point of view that I, as a witness, was present in that era in During this period,

0:15:42.800,0:15:48.680
his name, Walid, began to become more known as a composer among Gulf circles, and at the end of the episode, I will come back

0:15:48.680,0:15:56.079
and say, “How will this intersect with my career? Because it is very important. I mean, in this episode, in

0:15:56.079,0:16:01.560
the coming episodes, the artist Walid Al-Sh will be mentioned, and his great influence on my career. I will return

0:16:01.560,0:16:08.079
to the situation I am in.” I was in it and the artistic successes were more than the successes of the song itself, the song

0:16:08.079,0:16:14.959
“We Lost You” and “Ruh Fedak” by the artist Basil Aziz, and the offers that I received came from an artist

0:16:14.959,0:16:21.240
who had words and criticism. I mean, there were no two people who agreed on it for its honesty, and there were no two people who agreed

0:16:21.240,0:16:28.240
on what he presented, but all the people agreed that it was like a mighty voice. And it is wonderful and great, but the one who criticized

0:16:28.240,0:16:33.519
Kanan against him to this day has not reached the point of giving him his due or taking away from him,

0:16:33.519,0:16:39.720
and he is the late artist, may God have mercy on him, the artist Alaa Saad. The artist Ali Saad at that time was

0:16:39.720,0:16:45.079
the presenter of successful works and broke the world. I mean, even the current generations and generations know that the song

0:16:45.079,0:16:50.639
“The Orange” The entire Arab world, from Iraq to Morocco, knows this song, and the song

0:16:50.639,0:16:56.800
broke the world in an unprecedented way, and by the way, those contemporaries of that time know that

0:16:56.800,0:17:03.880
the orange song is one of the most important reasons for the success of the Nojoom channel and it emerged on the scene, meaning that

0:17:03.880,0:17:11.199
the artist’s name, Alaa Saad, was successful and famous. I won't tell you the influence, I mean, the

0:17:11.199,0:17:17.679
fruit songs that came out, I mean, it's nothing wrong with the peach, the apricot

0:17:17.679,0:17:25.199
, the lemon, and even our brothers from Egypt, I mean, all the countries, I mean, they went to all

0:17:25.199,0:17:32.960
kinds of fruits after the orange song. The success of the orange song was not what it was when it started, but it was accompanied by

0:17:32.960,0:17:38.799
great criticism of the content that was presented in this song. The song, of course, is the content related to dancing

0:17:38.799,0:17:45.440
and the dancers present in the work, so when the artist Alaa Saad contacted me, I mean, frankly, I had

0:17:45.440,0:17:51.720
some hesitation, but I know that it is also a step forward because at that time Ali Saad, I mean,

0:17:51.720,0:17:57.600
repent, I mean, at the time he spoke to me, the song “The Orange” was still number one and nothing. A song came along

0:17:57.600,0:18:03.280
that I removed from the top at that time, so the topic was very motivating for me and I really

0:18:03.280,0:18:11.440
wanted to do it, but I was worried about the reaction that would be from the viewers, or from those in my circle

0:18:11.440,0:18:17.240
, or from those who know me with this cooperation, but I said let me go, I am not losing anything, and let me see it.

0:18:17.240,0:18:26.400
So I remember, may God have mercy on him. I mean, he called me and we sat with him in the apartment. He has an area in Sha’ar Al-Raqqa

0:18:26.400,0:18:32.320
in Dubai, for people who are from the Emirates who know it. The area, of course. So I sat with him and discovered

0:18:32.320,0:18:40.600
one of the greatest and most wonderful personalities I have ever met. This human being carries generosity, positive feelings,

0:18:40.600,0:18:46.679
and tolerance for others. I have never seen anyone like him, for example, sitting and eating with him. He actually tells the person

0:18:46.679,0:18:51.679
opposite him before he eats, he has this mentality, meaning he sits, but he wants to give gifts, but he wants

0:18:51.679,0:18:56.240
to give the best. I was very surprised by her personality and I loved her very much, and

0:18:56.240,0:19:01.720
I was shocked by the high level of culture he has and the knowledge of singing, and as I said before,

0:19:01.720,0:19:06.960
two people disagreed that it was the artist’s voice, not Saad’s voice. Jabbar and he is not easy at all.

0:19:06.960,0:19:13.280
His personality is a hobby that affected me and affected the previous impression I had. I tried

0:19:13.280,0:19:18.159
that if I wanted to, I could try with the artist Ali Saad, and I might get my share of negative criticism.

0:19:18.159,0:19:25.840
I must currently bear the responsibility of presenting a different work by the artist Alaa Saad

0:19:25.840,0:19:31.880
and two, indicating that he is the face of the quality of his works. To another place, but the thing that I collided with

0:19:31.880,0:19:38.520
and the thing that I could not change was that the artist Saad Gai had an unparalleled, dazzling success that

0:19:38.520,0:19:44.840
had never happened in the Arab world for the song Orange, so he was certain and certain that the style that

0:19:44.840,0:19:52.320
succeeded in the song Orange was the style of folk dance that existed in it and the dancers, so it was very difficult.

0:19:52.320,0:19:58.760
As a director, or any director at that time, whatever his name was, he could convince the artist Alaa Saad that

0:19:58.760,0:20:05.039
this thing was something other than him. I mean, I say impossible, impossible. I mean this thing that I spoke about and saw with

0:20:05.039,0:20:13.960
his thoughts, with his eyes, and with his quick reaction, that nothing is impossible. Dance must exist, and it must be

0:20:13.960,0:20:19.960
the artist that she is, the artist. Ghaida, who was going to be the director of all the clips, had to be

0:20:19.960,0:20:27.240
present. This was a necessity for him. Currently, as a director, I want to present, as we said, quality over

0:20:27.240,0:20:33.400
quantity. I must find a way to preserve the three factors. The first is that I present

0:20:33.400,0:20:40.799
something different. The second is that he is the artist’s personality, not Saad, who I knew that he would reach her if she could,

0:20:40.799,0:20:45.320
through works and three, that he would achieve this harmony with what is what he wants, which is

0:20:45.320,0:20:50.400
of course dancing, and the presence of the artist Ghaida as the model in

0:20:50.400,0:20:56.240
the clip, so I kept thinking that what would I do, what could I do? Of course, the capabilities that

0:20:56.240,0:21:01.240
the artist Alaa Saad had were very good. So the clip was: We were going to film cinema, but this time

0:21:01.240,0:21:06.960
we were going to film it in Dubai. I wanted to film it in Dubai, so that would mean getting a new experience with a different crew.

0:21:06.960,0:21:12.200
I had not worked with it. I might have worked in Dubai, most of the digital work. I wanted to see

0:21:12.200,0:21:18.320
filming in Dubai with a crew that specializes in film photography with a film camera. How will

0:21:18.320,0:21:27.159
he be exposed to anything from Al-Fana’s character, Saad Minh, surrounded by a large entourage of

0:21:27.159,0:21:32.919
musicians and friends? And the way he and I treated him was as if he was

0:21:32.919,0:21:39.400
the serious one. Fader was like he was the godfather. Actually, this is what I felt. I mean, I said, why don’t I use this

0:21:39.400,0:21:47.080
character that he has in the story that I want? I present it in the video clip and try to introduce it,

0:21:47.080,0:21:52.640
meaning the other elements that he requires and the one who feels it are among the factors of success. I mean,

0:21:52.640,0:22:01.120
I made up the idea that he would appear, I mean, with a personality like a serious person who is involved in a mafia and tries to reach

0:22:01.120,0:22:08.279
his lover, and his lover has a family from another mafia, and he cannot. It is very difficult for him to reach him.

0:22:08.279,0:22:15.440
She is a well-known artist, so he tries more than once to reach her, but he cannot. This is the idea in

0:22:15.440,0:22:23.240
general. I tried to present an element in it that resembles the element that I saw in his personality. Of course, I mean, I am not

0:22:23.240,0:22:28.720
hiding from you. How does it mean that whoever killed him, you will be treated like a serious person, so he has healed the wound, as

0:22:28.720,0:22:36.360
they say, God. May God have mercy on him, he was very enthusiastic about the idea, and we went and prepared clothes, cigars, and bouquets. May

0:22:36.360,0:22:44.240
God have mercy on him. I mean, the brilliance of frankness means in playing these roles, and we filmed the clip while

0:22:44.240,0:22:50.279
filming it. Frankly, it was difficult, but I don’t want to go over the details, but the crew that was

0:22:50.279,0:22:56.520
there in Dubai, for me, was of the lowest degree of frankness. Of the crew that was in Turkey for an important reason,

0:22:56.520,0:23:02.080
the crews in Dubai, especially the crews working on cinema,

0:23:02.080,0:23:08.520
their primary and foremost interest was filming commercial advertisements. Dubai was and still is the place before filming advertisements in

0:23:08.520,0:23:13.760
the region, so all the crew were accustomed to these things, so filming video clips was for

0:23:13.760,0:23:21.799
them. I mean, knowing that 80% of them are foreigners, from Australia, South Africa,

0:23:21.799,0:23:26.520
Britain, and India, but I mean, most of them are used to filming advertisements, and the subject of

0:23:26.520,0:23:33.880
the video was an Arabic music video. They don’t have a problem with a Hamas element, so I didn’t feel like the crew

0:23:33.880,0:23:40.440
in Dubai, even though I am the director of photography. The same Turkish man, Zakaria Kurtuluş, who filmed the two clips

0:23:40.440,0:23:47.159
of the artist Basil Aziz himself, brought it to Dubai so that we could film the clip of the artist Alaa Saad. We filmed it with a

0:23:47.159,0:23:54.200
16mm 16mm film camera, and brought us together with the things I said. I am the idea of ​​the drama, which I

0:23:54.200,0:24:02.799
always like to make from the beginning, and with this clip, by updating it, I made it in a way that means. Different: For the first time,

0:24:02.799,0:24:09.559
a direct and large film adaptation of this degree was made, and the filming also, of course, reached 32

0:24:09.559,0:24:17.360
continuous hours. Also, at the end of the filming, the crew and the crew withdrew and left, almost the same as what

0:24:17.360,0:24:23.720
happened in Turkey. I explained in the previous episode that at that time there was no ceiling on the number of filming hours,

0:24:23.720,0:24:29.039
so when we were filming A More Years’ Day. Initially, we need 24 hours of filming, and then of course we will deliver

0:24:29.039,0:24:34.799
There are stages that these topics have been regulated and the number of filming hours has become and there have been hours that are considered overtime.

0:24:34.799,0:24:40.200
How should we take into account all of these work schedules? I mean, with time they developed, but at the time

0:24:40.200,0:24:47.640
it was this trendy and prevalent. The song was titled “The Thief” appeared on television

0:24:47.640,0:24:55.080
, and also I don’t say it struck and broke the world, I mean it was. Its success is good, but it is a new addition and another to

0:24:55.080,0:25:01.120
me as a director. This is the third clip that I shot using cinema technology, and this clip in particular was produced by

0:25:01.120,0:25:06.760
Rotana. He used to watch Rotana channels at one point, and

0:25:29.039,0:25:37.520
the great composer Nasra Al-Badr and Nasra Al-Badr had a relationship of friendship and study with Zaid Nadeem,

0:25:37.520,0:25:42.840
the music distributor whom I talked about in the first and second episodes a little bit. They say that he was a

0:25:42.840,0:25:50.440
close friend of mine, Kalash, and he was my partner in the company. When the artist Nusrat came to Dubai in that

0:25:50.440,0:25:57.880
year and decided, out of sympathy for the situation in Iraq, that he would move his position and presence to Dubai, he came

0:25:57.880,0:26:03.760
to Dubai and composed music for many artists, including the song that the artist Ali

0:26:03.760,0:26:11.120
Saad recorded. The song “The Thief” and he became officially present in our company. He and the great poet

0:26:11.120,0:26:18.159
Diaa Al-Mayali, and in cooperation with Zaid Nadm, began to present joint works, including productions for

0:26:18.159,0:26:22.520
our company, including productions from the company “Libya” outside, but Nasra Al-Badr put Al-Mayali. They were

0:26:22.520,0:26:29.880
present permanently and daily with us in the company. At that time, he was an artist. He came out in Iraq

0:26:29.880,0:26:37.720
and had songs that broke the world and were very successful, and he had songs that he filmed in Syria that came out bearing the name of

0:26:37.720,0:26:43.799
the artist Hossam Al-Rassam. Of course, who does not know Hossam Al-Rassam now, but at the time it meant

0:26:43.799,0:26:52.760
very good success in Iraqi and Arab circles, I mean after it started, but after Iraq it was very successful,

0:26:52.760,0:26:58.799
especially when it had I remember a song called To plant a bomb in the street, about the situation,

0:26:58.799,0:27:04.320
about the explosions that were in Iraq. May God not repeat it. I mean, this song had

0:27:04.320,0:27:11.960
lofty meanings and it had a very big impact on the Iraqis. I mean, Hussam Al-Rassam came to Dubai

0:27:11.960,0:27:19.440
because he helped Al-Badr and Diaa Al-Mayali, and they are almost the trio that does all of his work, who are

0:27:19.440,0:27:26.159
in Dubai. The artist Hossam Rassam began recording works, not an album

0:27:26.159,0:27:32.600
, but different works, so you can see some of them well-done. I see Hossam performing. Of course,

0:27:32.600,0:27:39.559
Hossam’s personality, for those who know him, have met him, is a very special personality, and he is definitely an artist, by the way. I mean, he

0:27:39.559,0:27:45.640
began by singing Aleppo Quddud and authentic tarab songs, meaning he moved on to another genre. It is one of

0:27:45.640,0:27:51.679
the songs that had great success, and at that time it was bold in its idea. I mean, now,

0:27:51.679,0:27:58.519
of course, we have reached Arab and Iraqi works that are daring, that is, unparalleled, but the money that

0:27:58.519,0:28:04.080
Hossam Rasam provided at that time did not have a hammer. I mean, for example, the song “Min Zaalak” from “Bajak”

0:28:04.080,0:28:10.880
is the work of Abu Lal Bajak. I mean, I wasn't that bold in my presentation. Hossam Al-Rassam was

0:28:10.880,0:28:17.679
a new person, a singer offering something new and desired by

0:28:17.679,0:28:27.120
the audience. He came to our office and I really liked his personality. He was different, always cheerful, always loved to joke.

0:28:27.120,0:28:36.240
I mean, he stayed away from seriousness in a big way. I mean, they started recording songs, and I remember that he called me

0:28:36.240,0:28:43.080
Zaid Nadeem. And I went up and they told me to come upstairs to the studio, so I went up to

0:28:43.080,0:28:50.159
the control room, which is separated by a glass barrier from the place where the singer is recording, and I saw

0:28:50.159,0:28:58.080
a strange situation in which singers are always recording, meaning there is a certain distance between them and

0:28:58.080,0:29:06.279
the trofon, meaning between. Let us say according to the singer, meaning between 10. It was called to 30 or 40 centimeters

0:29:06.279,0:29:13.279
, for example. This is always what I see as singers. When I entered, I saw Hossam Rassam standing about

0:29:13.279,0:29:21.120
a meter and a half away from the microphone. His voice was not strong, God willing, and he was singing. So I entered, and

0:29:21.120,0:29:28.360
after them they were repeating a clip of a song, and I heard Nusrat Al-Hussam saying that he should not say it like that, so I heard.

0:29:28.360,0:29:33.799
The part they sang, Hossam's name is Ghani, Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta-Ta'ar. This is what I remember. I mean, of course, excuse me

0:29:33.799,0:29:40.600
for my voice, but I want to convey it to my mind in the famous sentence. It's already in the song, so they started recording it.

0:29:40.600,0:29:46.640
I started to hear the words, very strange and new words, and of course this thing is not new to Hassan's works,

0:29:46.640,0:29:53.320
from the painting to Nasra's works. The full moon, but this song in particular. When I heard it, I said, “This song,

0:29:53.320,0:30:01.320
‘Wow, it will break the world.’” I mean, when he finished recording, “Waj Hamm” was sitting. We were sitting, me, Zaid Nadim,

0:30:01.320,0:30:10.240
Nasra, Diaa, the sound engineer, Ahmed Saber, and Hossam entered. He came from the shooting room and was sitting right

0:30:10.240,0:30:15.320
at the control, so they seemed to say that they wanted to film this song, of course. I was done at that time, I mean,

0:30:15.320,0:30:22.200
I had a friendship acquaintance, and Nusrat, and I went to the work of the one who is the thief, the artist, on

0:30:22.200,0:30:28.919
Saad, so they wanted to record a song called Al-Aqrabah. Of course, all people know this song.

0:30:28.919,0:30:35.080
Previous generations and even current generations, it is a very famous song. I mean, it became later, and they want

0:30:35.080,0:30:39.960
to make a clip for it, and they want to film it. The financial capabilities that Hossam Al-Rassam had

0:30:39.960,0:30:44.480
were less than the financial capabilities of the artist Ola Al-Saa or even

0:30:44.480,0:30:50.840
the artist Basil Al-Aziz, which means that I will not be able to present a work that depicts cinema in principle because cinema

0:30:50.840,0:30:57.320
comes at a higher cost, if not approximately double one and a half times the clips that are filmed in this way.

0:30:57.320,0:31:01.600
I lost digital because I loved the song and because I saw

0:31:01.600,0:31:09.240
Hossam Al-Rassam’s condition. This is a strange condition as a person and a very artful person. I am sure that I have to present this

0:31:09.240,0:31:15.120
work, but at the same time I have an obsession that I am offering quality, but ok, will I go?

0:31:15.120,0:31:21.240
I am able to provide this quality with this work. I mean, this is the first time, to be honest, I have had a work that

0:31:21.240,0:31:26.279
I know is the worst of the world. How can I exploit this topic

0:31:26.279,0:31:33.240
and present it in a way that serves the work first? I am sorry for the factors of success that I felt when I first heard

0:31:33.240,0:31:38.639
the audio, because I knew this audio and this song is going to break the world. The clip

0:31:38.639,0:31:44.919
I am making serves this point. Hey, hey. I mean, from the first experience I heard

0:31:44.919,0:31:49.320
an audio with, I know that this audio will not go unnoticed. I mean, I know that it will do

0:31:49.320,0:31:57.399
something. At the same time, I want to present it at the level of its image, but there is a challenge that money does not even mean anything. It is less

0:31:57.399,0:32:06.440
than her last works, as they are like Mizan and Camix for Behind, but as a song, I am the system of the success, it is

0:32:06.440,0:32:12.960
definitely a step forward. At that time, experiments were published with cameras with technology that at the time was considered

0:32:12.960,0:32:19.600
new, very undesirable, and very strange to us, and she is the one who considers digital cinema, and which is

0:32:19.600,0:32:24.320
currently in control of everything. Photography means that cinema is no longer gone, but digital cinema

0:32:24.320,0:32:30.799
is now a cinema, but at that time it was a camera that recorded on a hard disk, not on a tape. No,

0:32:30.799,0:32:36.720
this is a very strange thing. What does it mean that I have to keep getting hard drives and recording on them? I mean, I don’t buy

0:32:36.720,0:32:41.480
the tapes that I know from the men. What I know, and I will use it, and I know how

0:32:41.480,0:32:46.919
to use the device I have, the digital camera or the HD camera, and let it connect to my

0:32:46.919,0:32:53.960
digitizer for editing and production. This does not mean that this is something very strange and unwanted, but I know

0:32:53.960,0:33:01.960
that I saw that I remember taking pictures with one of the cameras, which is Panasonic, and its name is the Vari-cam,

0:33:01.960,0:33:08.840
and the Vari-cam is different. Regarding the rest of the cameras, he recorded slow motion photography with the camera

0:33:08.840,0:33:14.600
itself. Of course, these are the things I am saying now. It certainly means that it constitutes a shock to the

0:33:14.600,0:33:20.360
current generations using it, because the topic of slow motion has become, I mean, with the phone, it was very simple at the time.

0:33:20.360,0:33:26.240
The only camera that recorded slow motion photography in the camera was cinema. Frame rate means that

0:33:26.240,0:33:32.480
if cinema records 20 frames per second, and if video we record 25 frames per second, then if we want

0:33:32.480,0:33:38.240
to set it as a slow motion, then we set it, or according to what we want, we set the number.

0:33:38.240,0:33:46.240
It means that it must be more than 25. If we want 50, if we want 75, and whenever we double it, the raw amount of

0:33:46.240,0:33:52.919
cinema money ends. Record faster because it will record on a larger number of raw materials for people who are far

0:33:52.919,0:34:00.480
from making films. One second in films consists of 24 shots, 24 still images,

0:34:00.480,0:34:07.639
but they move. The sum of these images is in bits and pieces that lead to the movement that we see, and 25

0:34:07.639,0:34:16.879
images in video and television, so there is a camera. It was the only camera at that time that used to record slow

0:34:16.879,0:34:22.159
motion on the camera. What is the difference? Why do I want slow motion to be recorded on the camera and

0:34:22.159,0:34:28.240
I don’t know how to edit? Editing at that time means that it is limited, so we used

0:34:28.240,0:34:33.760
to do slow motion with the montage and it would be in Fishy. We called it Flickr.

0:34:33.760,0:34:39.960
I mean, the picture like that would have a shake. Like when there is an unwanted movement, it doesn't look

0:34:39.960,0:34:46.040
smooth, it doesn't look smooth, it's off the camera, the film, when we shoot in the cinema with

0:34:46.040,0:34:53.639
the film camera, it doesn't look smooth, and the shot is very nice, and the slow motion is very nice, like what you have

0:34:53.639,0:35:01.480
on the iPhone these days, I mean, but in the days, may God have mercy on him, you don't record on a device. He is accompanied

0:35:01.480,0:35:08.119
by the camera, and of course, then we go to the montage and upload the material to the montage, and it is originally shot

0:35:08.119,0:35:15.320
in slow motion, and I almost do not say 100% of the sublimity that exists in the cinema itself, in

0:35:15.320,0:35:23.040
the freecam, but to a large extent, so I said, Okay, okay, I will film this work and on the package

0:35:23.040,0:35:28.160
and budget that exists, and we will prepare. Things I started to take

0:35:28.160,0:35:33.880
the subject of the song as if this is the case of a song, as I said, a song that I definitely felt a hit from

0:35:33.880,0:35:41.079
the audio, from the song itself, from what I heard, so I have to start focusing on things that might increase in

0:35:41.079,0:35:47.480
this situation. At that time, for example, the artist Nasra Al-Badr suggested the dance that later became

0:35:47.480,0:35:54.560
the song he combined. Hossam, for example, I went intentionally, meaning I did something at a time. I said, “OK.” I mean,

0:35:54.560,0:36:02.119
I didn’t know what to add. Then it would become a style. I ran away and bought a belt like this with a scorpion drawn on

0:36:02.119,0:36:09.760
the belt. I wore Al-Hassam and always left the T-shirt off. I mean, the front of the trousers always goes

0:36:09.760,0:36:14.520
so that the belt shows, of course, the belt at that time, I mean. I saw people in the streets wearing it,

0:36:14.520,0:36:19.960
which means imitating the style of someone else, Hossam the painter, in football,

0:36:19.960,0:36:27.839
and I took advantage of the misery that I saw in Hossam’s character by introducing this character also in the clip. The

0:36:27.839,0:36:33.920
idea is like a program that means talent, and he is one of the talents,

0:36:33.920,0:36:41.760
and he admires the one from the committee, and turns the whole thing into dancing, and they destroy the place. And he is happy with

0:36:41.760,0:36:49.599
the music. I mean, I took advantage of the factors that I saw with Hossam Al-Rassam in my first meeting. He used them

0:36:49.599,0:36:55.200
and added them to the video clip. He downloaded the video clip. The video clip did not break the world. The video

0:36:55.200,0:37:01.200
clip shook the world. I mean, it succeeded. Success is not natural. Success was

0:37:01.200,0:37:08.720
originally audio before that time. It meant video and audio very, very much. Integrated into each other

0:37:08.720,0:37:12.800
in success, I mean, people talk on video and people talk on audio at the same time, because

0:37:12.800,0:37:18.680
the methods of listening to audio were not widely available as they are today, via YouTube or by

0:37:18.680,0:37:25.359
car. Currently, you can connect it to CarPlay or connect it to the phone and listen before.

0:37:25.359,0:37:31.400
This is not the case, either you heard about a CD or, I mean, a few years ago about a cassette,

0:37:31.400,0:37:37.720
so in order to record on a CD, you have to download it from the Internet and copy it to a CD player, which

0:37:37.720,0:37:44.560
is not an easy process. I mean, the video itself is almost the quickest way to hear the song.

0:37:44.560,0:37:51.520
And when you see it, its repetition had a huge impact on people. The state of Hossam Al-Rassam’s clothing became the same as Hossam

0:37:51.520,0:37:57.800
Al-Rassam’s belt. The condition of the glasses he was wearing became a fashion statement. Everything about this clip, frankly, was

0:37:57.800,0:38:06.440
different, it was special, and a very big success. Then, to be honest, I have a little difference with

0:38:06.440,0:38:12.359
Hossam Al-Rassam, knowing that he It connected me with a very strong friendship, meaning he would come to the house

0:38:12.359,0:38:20.760
and we would sit and go out, and that would mean a strong relationship, but I remember in one of the programs they asked him about

0:38:20.760,0:38:25.800
the clip, so he talked about the clip as if he was the one who made it, meaning he was the one who directed it, everything was settled, so this

0:38:25.800,0:38:31.839
topic made me sad at the time, especially since I am very tired. On the work that I do, and I put

0:38:31.839,0:38:38.880
myself and my effort down, so when I hear the singer who I did for this thing, he almost tells the details

0:38:38.880,0:38:46.560
of the song as if he were its director. I mean, my hobby affected me and my relationship with me at the time, but of course, I mean,

0:38:46.560,0:38:53.200
age at that time has judgments. I mean, I think my age, and even Hossam’s own age, I mean, but it remained. At that time

0:38:53.200,0:39:02.000
, I mean, it was a bummer, and I think it affected the fact that I never did another job with Hossam, because I was so upset about

0:39:02.000,0:39:08.599
that meeting that happened to him, but the song broke the world, and to this day I always

0:39:08.599,0:39:16.760
hear people talking about it or talking about 2005, meaning it was almost 20 years ago, but Until now,

0:39:16.760,0:39:23.920
his condition is considered to be Hossam Al-Rassam. To be honest, he is the same as he was at the time, and he is still a great

0:39:23.920,0:39:30.880
and wonderful artist, and he is of course supported by the great artist Nasra Al-Badr as a launch on the idea of

0:39:30.880,0:39:36.440
​​the Iraqi song in Arabic. I mean, the beginnings were from them, and I think this thing

0:39:36.440,0:39:44.160
should always be said about Nasra. Al-Badr, Hossam Al-Rassam, and everyone who accompanied them on the journey of creating the

0:39:44.160,0:39:51.640
new Iraqi song, so the song hit and broke the world. I was very happy. It was the first work to

0:39:51.640,0:39:58.359
meet this success and a very big response. I mean, it was with a set of emotions. Between a good clip,

0:39:58.359,0:40:03.680
between a hit song, and the song was served on the clip. The song is now a hobby, it has become on

0:40:03.680,0:40:11.640
mobile phones with Bluetooth, it is transmitted as a video clip, not as a song, meaning it is a hobby. I felt success for the first

0:40:11.640,0:40:18.000
time between the song “Kisr Al-Duniya” and it is considered a hit song, as they say in the common term.

0:40:18.000,0:40:24.720
I made it the “Scorpion” song. After the “Scorpion” song, I finished, I now have the artistic level that

0:40:24.720,0:40:32.640
I presented cinematography work in Turkey. And in Dubai, I presented amazing works. I went through

0:40:32.640,0:40:38.440
the stage where I wanted to prove myself, and I wanted to say that I exist, and there was no obstacle to honesty

0:40:38.440,0:40:46.359
except the obstacle of age, because I am this whole story. I am 20, 19, 21 years old, so when I used to go

0:40:46.359,0:40:52.760
to companies or after they told me that we would go and meet, I always felt The shock in their eyes is that you are the one who

0:40:52.760,0:40:58.400
is going to do this thing. You are the one who is going to give you this money, all of which you will use to do work. It has always been

0:40:58.400,0:41:04.160
an obstacle for me, and I have always lied about my age. To be honest, I am three or four years older than myself, just

0:41:04.160,0:41:11.520
so that I can come clean from the previous statement that I am young. Today, of course, the opposite has happened. I have grown younger. I have become younger

0:41:11.520,0:41:18.000
than my real age. This means that this person is always not satisfied with what he does.

0:41:18.000,0:41:22.240
Praise be to God and thanks. I mean, in any case, I have achieved success and

0:41:22.240,0:41:30.880
have an artistic level. I started to see more clients. I did my first two jobs and, Rotana, I filmed

0:41:30.880,0:41:37.520
two clips with them. This was the first clip. By the artist Abdel Moneim Al-Amri from the Emirates and the artist Mohammed Al-Bakri

0:41:37.520,0:41:44.040
from Bahrain, and the two clips, Al-Saraha, I mean, I am very proud of them, and they were also a good success, especially the song

0:41:44.040,0:41:49.640
by the artist Abdel-Moneim Al-Amri, which was broadcast on Rotana channels extensively. Before Rotana,

0:41:49.640,0:41:56.240
it pushed the crew they had, so they went to arrange interviews and backstage and appeared on the program “They Have Everything.” On Tuesdays

0:41:56.240,0:42:00.920
or every Wednesday, as I remember, this program would start and meetings would come, and they would come. May God

0:42:00.920,0:42:06.280
remind her of the goodness of my friend Dima Sami, and to this day, of course, she is with the same effort and competence, so she would

0:42:06.280,0:42:14.079
arrange meetings with me, which means a new stage in my life. Also, I filmed these clips with someone who was

0:42:14.079,0:42:20.440
with Zakaria Kurtuluş and he was not. We filmed for the first time with an HD camera, not digital cinema, which

0:42:20.440,0:42:27.160
is the same as Panasonic, nor cinema, because frankly, Rotana did not want to produce

0:42:27.160,0:42:34.280
big numbers, and I took it as an opportunity that I had to prove myself with other companies and with

0:42:34.280,0:42:43.760
a different field, which is with Rotana, I mean, and I filmed both clips with an HD 900R camera.

0:42:43.760,0:42:49.240
I remember it until now. It is the step behind digital. I mean cameras, especially

0:42:49.240,0:42:54.040
Sony. They were in control of digital. The world of digital did the same thing, which is high

0:42:54.040,0:43:00.680
definition. I mean, we moved to 1920 by 1080. The picture became the largest pixels that had

0:43:00.680,0:43:05.880
the pixels that... Inside the picture it became more, the quality became higher, but we are still recording on

0:43:05.880,0:43:13.480
the tape. The difference is this tape is black and that tape is blue or grey. I mean, these are the differences that

0:43:13.480,0:43:19.040
were only, of course, the quality, for sure, meaning between the mind of normal digital and HD.

0:43:19.040,0:43:28.240
There was a very big difference. I filmed both clips in HD. This is what they met, I mean, before Paul and Najah, as we said,

0:43:28.240,0:43:34.359
especially the song by the artist Abdel Moneim Al Amri, and after that it ended, it became almost a daily thing for me.

0:43:34.359,0:43:41.800
Or even weekly, there were new clients, there were people who wanted to photograph works, there were artists who came to

0:43:41.800,0:43:48.839
companies that contacted me. I was very active. To be frank, I met all the gatherings. I met all the places

0:43:48.839,0:43:54.319
where certain artistic events took place. I tried to put myself forward, I tried to prove myself by being

0:43:54.319,0:43:59.079
present. This had an impact on establishing my name as a director.

0:43:59.079,0:44:07.880
A new budding person with potential can film for any of the important names.

0:44:07.880,0:44:16.520
I worked on productions for the Nojoom channel. I filmed a video with them in Turkey. HD was not cinema

0:44:16.520,0:44:22.839
for the Qatari artist Badr Al-Raisi. I mean, now I have an existing name in the market and I don’t mind

0:44:22.839,0:44:31.960
doing any work for any artist. I remember, so call me. At that time, the director and friend, Mr. Saeel Al-Abdoul

0:44:31.960,0:44:38.480
, who is the owner of the Nojoom channel, said to me, “Yasser, can you come to me today?” I told him, “Yes, of course I was happy,” so I sat

0:44:38.480,0:44:43.240
with him in the office, and he heard me. I was or had I composed for them other than the clips that came out on their

0:44:43.240,0:44:49.359
channel. I wanted to produce for them the song of the main artist who wanted to be released for them on the channel. I said it in

0:44:49.359,0:44:55.800
Turkey, and he heard me the song. The voice I heard when he first played the song, it gave me goosebumps

0:44:55.800,0:45:01.480
because it was a voice. I mean, the voice is the voice of the great wounded man, may God have mercy on him. Abdel Karim Abdel Qader. I and

0:45:01.480,0:45:06.559
the song is playing. I say, oh Lord, that he is going to tell me this is the song that I am going to film. He finished the audio

0:45:06.559,0:45:11.640
and told me that... This is the song that I will photograph. I mean, I will not tell you my feeling because it means that

0:45:11.640,0:45:16.280
the artist Abdel Karim Abdel Qader is not the first Arab artist that I photographed, but the first Arab artist

0:45:16.280,0:45:25.319
of this size and this great stature that I photograph for Hani Abu, 20 years old. Video clip and history of

0:45:25.319,0:45:31.559
Abdel Keen Abdel Qader. Who is there in Iraq? People Of course you like to listen to him and his songs are everywhere and

0:45:31.559,0:45:36.599
on the televisions and on the radio with cups. I get in the taxi in Iraq with Abdel Karim Abdel

0:45:36.599,0:45:40.839
Qader playing it. I come back to the house and my brother found Abdel Karim Abdel Qader playing it. Turn on the TV

0:45:40.839,0:45:48.119
and Abdel Karim Abdel Qader played it. I want to make a song for him. It was a wonderful feeling. So

0:45:48.119,0:45:55.359
the pictures of the song. We filmed for two days, and they filmed it in HD, and I remember my meeting with the great, great

0:45:55.359,0:46:04.319
Karim Abdel Qader, and how I was taken, not as a director, as a fan of this person, and how

0:46:04.319,0:46:13.040
I found a wonderful, sophisticated human being who spoke, of course, his voice was completely different when talking about, about, about, his richness, his voice is calm,

0:46:13.040,0:46:21.400
yearning, and a compassionate father, I mean, he was, I mean, may God have mercy on him. Dealing with him meant something wonderful

0:46:21.400,0:46:30.040
to me, and the song came out and it ended. Now I have in my possession the size and stature of the artist Abdel

0:46:30.040,0:46:34.200
Karim Abdel Qader. Now I will return to the point I mentioned in the text of the episode, which I said later on,

0:46:34.200,0:46:40.280
I will return to the journey of the rise of the great artist Wali Al-Shami from composer and choral artist to artist.

0:46:40.280,0:46:47.880
Al-Shami, which we know today at that time, was only a melody by the great artist Rashid Al-Majid, and it was

0:46:47.880,0:46:54.800
the song Salamat, and the song broke the world. The name Walid came to mean a

0:46:54.800,0:47:00.680
mythically wanted one in the Gulf, and in Dubai in particular, and Walid seemed like everyone

0:47:00.680,0:47:07.200
wanted a Walid who would be satisfied with them and give them a melody. I mean, it really meant that the expression

0:47:07.200,0:47:14.800
“success” was not exaggerated. Walid at that time was unprecedented, so Walid seemed to be encouraged that he was actually

0:47:14.800,0:47:20.640
producing his first work himself as a singer, because he always had this obsession with presenting himself

0:47:20.640,0:47:27.559
as a singer, so he had the capabilities. He started providing melodies for all the great singers present in

0:47:27.559,0:47:35.839
the Gulf, and he composed a duet song with the artist, Habibi Al-Kabir. The wonderful Weiss Saeed, who has had a

0:47:35.839,0:47:43.839
huge impact on my upcoming career, except for a duet song called “Haqq Haqq Habib” and the song, of course,

0:47:43.839,0:47:51.480
is remembered by the generation and generation that lived in those days, and even the current generation. The song “I mean

0:47:51.480,0:47:59.400
it broke the world.” We also filmed it with HD technology. We filmed it for two days. I took advantage of my great knowledge

0:47:59.400,0:48:05.599
of Walid Al-Shami’s personality. How am I going to present it in the clip, which is the fun side, the

0:48:05.599,0:48:11.079
artistic side, the artist Fais Al-Saeed, after me, I did not know his personality at all, so I was not going to fit into any

0:48:11.079,0:48:18.359
mold I would create, but I made him a mold similar to the mold of the artist, Wali Al-Shami, and we depicted the song as

0:48:18.359,0:48:28.040
two people seeking to mend a relationship between a lover and his lover, and they take wishes in a humorous way. And it's a comedy

0:48:28.040,0:48:35.640
, and I remember maybe it was one of the few songs at that time that I did a rehearsal or rehearsal for

0:48:35.640,0:48:41.280
before filming, and me and the great artist, Wali Al-Shami, sat down and said that he was going to do the movements, and how he was going to sing,

0:48:41.280,0:48:47.960
and how he was going to say here, and I cut the song, meaning letter by letter, until it came along, and oh, the story, because that's most of

0:48:47.960,0:48:54.000
the songs that I was doing. I always try to make the bassin clips not just aesthetic clips, meaning they should be

0:48:54.000,0:49:00.000
consistent with the escalation of events. I mean, if the events start, for example, in the restaurant,

0:49:00.000,0:49:04.839
he sings this clip in the restaurant, then when the events escalate and they go, for example, to a coffee shop,

he sings that clip in the coffee shop, so it was even something new for the artists. I mean, those who

0:49:09.440,0:49:14.200
deal with me always say we sing the whole song at once. This is the first time

0:49:14.200,0:49:22.400
we cut the song. We filmed the clip, and the clip was very successful in the Gulf in an unparalleled way.

0:49:22.400,0:49:30.240
The artist Walid Al-Shami presented his credentials as a singer. I was very happy with these repeated successes

0:49:30.240,0:49:36.720
during the same year. I made very big strides forward as a director. As a person, I began to have more and more confidence

0:49:36.720,0:49:41.400
in myself. I began to be interested in the scientific aspect and knowledge. I began to read. I began to try

0:49:41.400,0:49:47.000
to apply. I began to see the techniques. I began to want to see and respond. I always did something new and different. I began to make sure

0:49:47.000,0:49:52.240
that my name was always associated with successful works. All of these changes are rapid in a year.

One day, the great artist Wali Al-Shami calls me and tells me that there is a clip

0:49:59.160,0:50:08.799
for a wonderful and very great artist, the great artist Rashid Al-Majid Al-Kalb. It is a song for them, and there is a

0:50:08.799,0:50:14.720
possibility that I will film it with an open budget and in the countries that I choose, and with the legalization

0:50:14.720,0:50:22.400
of cinema, and in the number of days that I want. This is a huge step and a change. In

0:50:22.400,0:50:27.160
the next episode, I will talk in detail about this beautiful adventure

0:50:27.160,0:50:34.920
full of expected and unexpected events, calculated and uncalculated. Thank you very much. Thank you

0:50:34.920,0:50:42.240
very

0:50:42.240,0:50:46.559
much. Thank you very much.
