Meet: Catherine Assi, star films "Film crew", "Invisible", "Fifth Guard", "Missing Bridegroom", "Survival School of Lonely Woman with three children in crisis."
- Catherine, can I ask about the unusual Arabic name Assi? Surely she is somehow translated?
- Assi means "against the current." This is a father's surname.
- Do you go in life against the current?
- I wondered about it. Now I understand that you need to sail downstream, but remain at the same time. It is very important. You must remain faithful to your principles and yourself. You will sail then at your current, without adjusting to someone. Against the flow sailing is sometimes very difficult and meaningless.

- For some time you worked a model for the fashion house of your mother Alina Assi, were the face of the brand. Why left a profession?
"Yes, indeed, in my childhood I worked as a model at my mother, she had an alina assi designer model. But it was more hobbies. It was not a profession. Just I knew from childhood that I want to become an actress. This decision I accepted in the seventh grade, when I began to go to theatrical circle. I got there, you can say, by chance. I had a girlfriend who asked to go with her to samples, support her. It was necessary to read a piece of "Beauty and Monsters" and sing a song. As a result, I was approved for one of the main roles, and it, unfortunately, did not take it. And I fell in love with the theater, scene and acting profession. Then I realized that this is my vocation. Busy, but I even have the habit. For example, I gnawed my nails in childhood, and a week later after the rehearsals, I stopped doing it. And again the awareness came, that this is exactly mine (laughs). I came to the teacher Miss Cosby, saying that I decided to become an actress, she replied: "Then forward!"
"VGIK know all over the world"
- Where did it happen?
- I went to theatrical schools all my childhood. And in America, and in Russia. When I finished the latest school classes, I went to the preparatory courses in VGIK to the stunning teacher Lyudmila Borisovna Chirkova. She prepared me for two years to enter. And after grade 11, I entered VGIK to the acting faculty to Vladimir Grammatikov, from where he released in 2013.
- Why Vgik, why not Hollywood?
- One other does not cancel in any case. To be honest, VGIK know all over the world. This is one of the most prestigious film officials. And when I come to Hollywood for samples, shooting, I understand that everything is very familiar with the school of Vgika and very respectfully.
- Often we are in Hollywood on samples?
- I try. But now, fortunately, there is a video business card format, in this plan today is much easier. You send the samples, and if you're interested in the director, he wants to personally meet, then you already go. And so you can send your video business card into any part of the world.
- Where do you like to remove?
- Everywhere. The main thing is that I was filmed. And the Russian cinema has now rose very much. It's nice.
With Alexander Revva and Nikita Tarasov on the set
- You have become famous after the TV series "Londongrad", "dear crew". What was hard to do on the set?
- In fact, the acting profession is a heavy and great work. But it is clear that this is the same and great buzz. I think you must love your work very much, enjoy the film processing, because there are very difficult conditions. For example, the weather, when in winter you depict that summer on the street. Or there are a lot of text. Yes, different sophisticated moments happen. It just seems to be released in the frame - and that's it. In fact, the acting profession is very big responsibility, because you understand that on the set, along with you there is a whole group in two hundred people. All their home care, no one wants to linger, all normalized working day. Therefore, when you are in the frame, I must be assembled, I must know the text, I must be immersed in your character, so as not to bring the rest. It is important. In general, you need to love this profession greatly to enjoy. I love her very much.
- Is there such a thing that you do not like on the set?
- I like everything. Everywhere there are small moments, but it is all solved. I am sure that the main thing is to always be on a positive. And the more you radiate positive, the more he comes back to you. And not only in the profession. You go out on the street, smile a few people, and their mood rises. Somehow my mother said in childhood that if you have a bad mood, and you just sit with a smile, you have an involuntarily becoming a good mood. I tried it - really, it works. Amazing! Recommend. If a bad mood, just sit and smile. And everything will change.
- And if the partner is unpleasant?
- I still had no such thing. All come to work for the result of the magic of the movie. All with the configuration to work out. The main thing is to hear and respect.

As soon as you enter the airport, there is an eternal fuss, mysteriousness and feeling of unreality. It is always a holiday for me. So I always loved to fly. And when I was approved on the stewardess Zhanna Glushko in the "dear crew", I found out many aspects of this world from the inside. When I flew, I never thought about that this is a profession. These people have their own life in parallel. On the shooting, I met real flight attendants. They gave us instructing in all the rules. The shooting was in St. Petersburg, had to fly, it was six to seven aircraft a week back and forth. At some point, when the plane salon was removed in the pavilion, I stopped understanding: really we fly or it's just shooting. But it was great, as I said, I love the travel process itself. And the profession of stewardess is very interesting. My aunt owns it. And uncle is the first pilot.
