Hengameh Ghaziani, who suffered from several illnesses for several months to play the role of a laundry woman in the movie "With Others", says that when she is offered a role, she plays it with all her heart and, as she says, she is not joking with her role. .

Hengema Ghaziani was born on May 30, 1970. He started acting with the movie "Penumbra" directed by Hassan Hedayat and has acted in 20 movies till date.

 

Ghaziani Simorgh Crystal received the best actress award from the 26th Fajr Film Festival for the movie "Bahin Sahiti" directed by Reza Mirkarimi. In the 30th Fajr International Film Festival, she won the crystal simorgh for the best actress for her role in the movie "Days of Life" directed by Parviz Sheikh Tadi.

He was present at the 32nd Fajr Film Festival with the movie "With Others" directed by Nasser Zamiri and the movie "The Shared Life of Mr. Mahmoudi and a Lady" directed by Ruhollah Hejazi, which was successfully released a while ago. .

Hengameh Ghaziani considers the year 1992 as one of the most difficult years of his life, but he believes that despite all the hardships he went through in this year, this year still ended well. We had a conversation with him about his film activities in the last year and the horizon ahead of him.

How did 2014 pass for you?

The year 1992 was a very heavy year for me, so that this year can remain in my memory forever, because after the movie "With Others", a series of diseases came to me, which took about four months to treat, and I almost stayed at home.

This stay at home had a bad effect on my mood. I was sick since October, so that in the last stage of the disease, my vocal cords got stuck together and I was banned from meeting. The doctors said that a virus and shock entered my body and hit my legs, back and hands. It was also because in the movie "With Others" I played the role of a woman who works in a laundry room in a hospital and I had to be in this space for hours, also in this movie several times a I hugged a 28-kilogram baby, which caused me to get sick.

 When you are in such a situation, you ask God for the year to end as soon as possible, I also asked God for the year 92 to end as soon as possible and happily. In my opinion, 1992 was not a very good year. The beginning of this year was also associated with the death of Asal Badii, and honestly, I was broken by his death. This is despite the fact that I was not a close friend of Asal and I did not socialize with her, but her death did something to me that I was in bed for the whole of April and May. So that my family was proud of my condition and said why I behave like mourners.

I had one of those furniture removals that the real estate agents did a favor to me. In fact, instead of being like artists, they offered us more money than what we should have paid for the house in question, and they harassed me a lot until finally I was a fair person whom I thanked for working with me to find Thank you, he offered me the current house and I rented it.

What were the good events of 2014 for you?

- Two very good things happened to me last year, which made this year less difficult for me. First, I was honored on Nurse's Day, when the Minister of Health introduced me as a symbolic nurse by presenting me with a nursing uniform. This choice was so valuable to me that when I went on stage to speak, I had no idea what to say, unlike any other time when I improvise. It's like I'm in the fourth grade of elementary school and I have to speak at the morning ceremony behind the microphone. When I asked the reason for this choice, they told me that the Ministry of Health had seen all the movies made about doctors and nurses and they liked Leila Sohrabi's role in "Days of Life".

Of course, I also loved this role because I learned a lot from it. With this role, I experienced a part of history spiritually, and my understanding of the position of nurses during the war increased. We usually talk about the war between Iraq and Iran only about those who fought on the front, and in the cinema, apart from the movie "Land of the Sun" directed by Ahmad Reza Darwish and starring the brilliant Golchehra Sajjadieh and Zindayad Khosrow Shakibaei Aziz, hardly anyone These people have paid.

I saw "The Land of the Sun" in the years when I had just returned to Iran and I always wanted to experience acting in a war movie in such a job, and luckily this opportunity came to me.

 When I went on the stage for the tribute, I thanked God that the year 1992 will end with this event; Because I was sick for acting in a movie and now I was being honored by the medical community. I said to myself that so many bad things had happened this year, but after two years, I was honored by the nursing community for playing in the movie "Days of Life". The sound of the hands of the nurses and doctors in this ceremony was a sound that I felt was the sound of the hands of angels; Angels who have visited me since 2 years ago and now tell me that we have seen you in work and life and even in sickness. This was a glorious event for me.

The second good thing that happened this year was that to commemorate Mohammad Rahmanian, I was also invited to attend the theater that Hamid Amjad wanted to stage after 10 years. This is despite the fact that I was neither an actor nor his student. But Mr. Amjad told me that in this commemoration, I will perform a 20-minute show in which I want to go on stage with Ali Omrani, Ali Sarabi, Behrang Alavi and Parisa Garhami. I spent three days preparing for this until I went back on stage after four years since playing Caligula in '89. 

* Why did you stay away from the theater for so long?

- The performance of "Caligula" coincided with the death of my father, and considering that I did not want to disturb the performance of this play, I could not mourn for my father. The only thing I did in this show was to wear a black dress instead of the red "Cansonia" dress. Because I had not mourned for my father and during the days of my father's coma, I was not present by his side due to rehearsals for the show "Caligula", the pain of his loss remained in me, that's why I could no longer do theater work until the commemoration ceremony of Ostad Rahmanian. They asked me to go on stage again.

I was very stressed these three nights when I had to practice for this theater. It's like I want to take the bachelor's entrance exam again, even though I was always more confident on stage than in front of the camera, and Siamak Safari always told me why you don't have anxiety when you go on stage? But in these few nights, I was extremely anxious because Hamid Amjad had staged a work after 10 years.

It doesn't matter that we performed a 20-minute show with four chairs, but this show was staged in a ceremony that commemorates one of the greatest men of theater art in this land, a man who has been writing for the culture and art of this country for years. Besides that, great people were present in this ceremony. Even the sound of clapping in this ceremony was different. This was a miracle for me this year. The end of 1992 happened to me in such a way that I can say that with all the fatigue it had for me, it ended well.

 * At the time of Ghaziani, he usually works hard for his roles and accepts difficult roles as well. How important is it to you to know these roles? However, there are different criticisms of your work.

- I am always happy to be criticized by the press and media and I accept it. The press has the first word in an actor's life and they should be respected and I will never be guarded against their criticism.

My first job was with Mr. Tazami, and he always told me to enrich my culture, because for an artist and actor, culture is important first, and then the acting gene, that's why we should always be careful when we speak to avoid self-praise. Do not interpret.

I always feel sorry for my family first, because in my career they are the ones who suffer the most. For example, I accept a job whose pre-production takes two months, when I accept that role, I am in my role two months before the start of filming, and after filming, I am also involved in the consequences of that character. Once a loved one of the actor said in an interview that I don't understand why some actors say that I go into one role and stay in that role for a while, but I would like to say that Susan Hayward also when in the movie "I want to survive" He played in the gas room, after that he went to the mad house.

It is very important for me to know the character I want to play and to accept it in myself. In fact, cinema and theater are not toys for me at all, they are not a place to satisfy my inner desires and personal ambitions. Roya Nonhali said in an interview that acting means being seen and this is a rule. The fact that an actor wants to be seen is a characteristic of this job, and I agree with Roya Nonhali's words, and anyone who says that they don't want to be seen is lying.

In acting, I never thought about looking beautiful or not having an inappropriate face in a movie. This is because the world of art and the world of cinema and theater is for me a presence and a kind of radiance and manifestation of what God has deposited inside me.

Actually, the actor has been assigned to show the human soul that lives his role, and now that I have been given this position, I have to take care of such an opportunity. If one day they give me the role of a journalist who struggles to write even a single word, that day I will definitely be careful in the life of that journalist to see how he lives and from the things I get from that journalist, that character I bring to life inside me.

* Have you ever said that I will take this role easy this time?

- There have been times when I told myself to give less reason for a role, but as I get older, I become more sensitive and pay more attention to my role. When the camera is on, I'm not kidding, not even the cells in my body are dying. It's like I'm fighting with myself for a role so that I don't underperform. So that the people who come to find themselves on the cinema screen in me do not feel that I have done less.

This issue makes me pay attention even to the backstage. I have been working in cinema since 1979 and fortunately I have worked with all the great designers of cinema. My first make-up test was with Mehri Shirazi for the movie "Women's Prison" where I was not accepted, and then Mrs. Shirazi introduced me to "Sayeh Roshan" and my film career started from this movie. If you ask all the makeup artists who have worked with me in all these 14 years, they have the most respect for me because I follow aesthetics well and know that if I'm going to cry, it shouldn't be like that. The audience is upset, I know the feeling and facial expressions, and no make-up designer remembers putting drops in my eyes to make me cry or having to cry eight times so that they can prepare my face again before crying.

In fact, when I want to go in front of the camera, I also think about make-up, so that I don't have to bother more than I should. When you think of all the actors of the film in a group, we unconsciously become responsible and the responsibility gives you a situation where you don't joke about anything. Of course, if I were a taxi driver, I would definitely take my job very seriously because I see myself in people and I put in a lot of effort due to the sense of responsibility of my role.

In these 10 years that I have been working in cinema, the 10 years of Iranian cinema have been weak in terms of literature and screenwriting. In the 1960s and 1970s, movies show the level of screenwriting we were at, works like "Perry", "Hamon", "Passengers" and... it cannot be said that the actors did not do anything during that time. , but there was a time when great people were present in the cinema, but today the situation is such that during the past year, for the Fajr Film Festival, there were eleven scripts in my house, and I could only choose one of these scripts, and this is very it is bad. When you choose a movie, you don't know what the other actors in the movie have done or what the rhythm of the editing is, and yet you have to give your life for the movie.

I worked hard for "others". In fact, I was in the hospital laundry for 3 to 17 hours next to bloody and infected sheets, and pus and blood was running under my feet, and all these issues caused me to get sick. I wanted to show the hardships of a laundry woman's life. I was able to play such roles and create events in the 10 years of weak Iranian cinema.
