Famous actress Nurgül Yeşilçay is among the most important names in the Turkish TV series and cinema industry. Nurgül Yeşilçay, who has portrayed different characters with great success so far, explained how Turkish TV series can differ in terms of script and how actors who start a job with enthusiasm can find themselves in a very difficult situation over time.
In fact, this picture presented by Nurgül Yeşilçay can be described as a product of the Turkish TV series industry’s efforts to create stories for ratings, influenced by social media.
The situation of screenwriters and production teams, affected by the discussions on social media, changing the direction of the story and transforming the characters into different personalities than they are, comes to the attention of the audience many times and is described as one of the most important problems.
Nurgül Yeşilçay shared the psychology of the actors involved in the incident with the audience with the following statement she made in the program she attended:
“When you start a television series, you have a script of 3-4 episodes. There’s a bit of a story. You are trying to create a character. Then 10 episodes pass and that character starts talking nonsense. She’s doing other things. So it’s completely opposite to what you’ve established. You say, “But I did this once, how can I do this now?” The answer you get is ‘it’s going well, let’s not worry about it too much’. “You find yourself in something you don’t want.”
