The “Smiling Man” poster was unveiled in Arsbaran Cultural Center/Rafat Hashempour’s portrait
According to Aria’s heritage report, citing the public relations of Documentary Network, in this ceremony, Nasser Mamdouh criticized the dubbing conditions and said: “Since Corona came, our work has gone through many ups and downs and unfortunately it messed everything up.” Now, movies that are dubbed are single-narrator. This is considered a weakness.
He added: “Years ago, if they asked me what do you want to do?” I used to answer: Doubler. But if they ask me such a question now, unfortunately, I will not give this answer. Of course, there are many interested young people who are active in this field, but they have been exploited in the hands of a number of intermediaries. Online viewing platforms give their movies to a number of middlemen for dubbing, which is unfortunate.
Mamdouh said: I must admit that I was greatly affected by your kindness and I wish you all success and happiness.
Next, Nahid Amirian, a veteran of the dubbed art, said about Nasser Mamdouh: The position of the teacher is so high for me that I consider him as a father, a companion and a friend, and I learn from him.
Humility, ethics, and people-friendliness are the keys to Mamdouh’s success
In another part of this ceremony, the production manager of the Documentary Network said in the description of the dubbing artist: Today, when I was thinking about Professor Mamdouh and his work, I remembered a sentence he said in a gathering 5-6 years ago. He said at that time that I like my work, I like people and I like working for people. It occurred to me why someone says that I like my work after 60 years of dubbing. What percentage of us who are in different jobs are satisfied with our work?
Abulqasem Naseri continued: To answer this question, I remembered their own words that were expressed in this documentary. He explains how he entered this field; The script they had, his familiarity with Mr. Kameli and the test he gave to him made him enter this field.
He said: When someone says that I am satisfied with my work, it means that it has two effects; Firstly, he will grow in that job and secondly, mental peace will prevail in his life. These two issues are very important. In my opinion, Professor Mamdouh had the opportunity to do what he likes and he did not resist this beautiful breeze and placed himself in its path and took advantage of this opportunity. Mr. Mamdouh must have the qualities that made him successful in his work. In my opinion, these characteristics were having humility, ethics and people-friendliness.
In this program, Abbas Zahidazadeh also said: The warmth and special resonance in Mr. Mamdouh’s voice makes us consider him different from the others. Mamdouh has a very good understanding of the role in his works and understands the atmosphere of the role so well that he can make that character believable to the listener.
This researcher and voice actor added: The main works I remember from him are the TV series he dubbed. The elegance of his voice made the characters stay in our minds much better. I remember he was dubbing a negative role, which was very difficult, but he did it well, and when I heard the character’s voice, I really felt its negativity. All this shows the creativity that Mr. Mamdouh has put into his work.
Mr. Mamdouh’s smile is linked to his heart
Abolfazl Tawakli said about the making of the documentary “Smiling Man”: In 2016, we had the honor of serving Mr. Mamdouh for the film “Smiling Man”. At that time, we could not coordinate to hold a ceremony for the film’s launch, the network also wanted to broadcast the film. Finally, a ceremony was held in the documentary network itself and the film was unveiled. Next, we wanted to capture a bigger ceremony that coincided with the Corona era. Now was the best opportunity to appreciate his lifetime of hard work.
He continued: I must thank them that whenever I wanted to make a film about dubbing artists, they willingly accepted and came in front of my camera, they always said that these loved ones are my colleagues and I should help their art to be expressed.
