Maria Ermolina, known in e -sports circles as “Marple”, has been working as a creative producer of Team Spirit for more than two years, changing the set to the place behind the frame. In an interview, she spoke about her new role and the reasons for leaving public life, sharing thoughts about the future.
How life has changed after you left the frame?
The third year has already begun as I work as a creative producer at Team Spirit. We have a department that is responsible for the media “dragons” and creates all the video content. I am very grateful to the organization for the fact that they helped me open a second wind in my activity from a different angle. For the third year I have been living in class time and I feel in my place.
Do you miss media activity?
I would not say, because I stopped making issues largely due to burnout. Of course, there were external reasons and the changes are cardinal in my life that has taken me from the rut. But the internal state had a strong influence, because I was no longer in the resource to engage in public activities. Did I think about returning to YouTube? Sometimes yes. Will I return to YouTube? Let's see.
But for you to understand, there is no such thing that I am sitting and missing, because I really like the current work. I think that this is also seen from what our team is doing. I am involved in these processes with my head and heart.
Before leaving the frame, I often performed production tasks. And in some sidest projects, and in their. This is absolutely mine.
What is included in your duties now?
Everything that is now produced is done by our entire team, not only me. But the primary task is, in fact, a creative, the generation of solutions, some unusual moves. Ever since I came to Spit, we have “Nirvana”, “Wolf” with Druzhko, a series of short videos to Riyadh Masters 2024, where each of the players and Staff has tried on a certain image of famous characters. Another clip for the song "Forbid me to wear Stone Island". There were still a lot of beautiful announcements, from the last Lego Animation dropped in front of The International, released a joint track with Sergei Pirate.
Here is all this content – including my work. Together we get options, but I have a considerable share of responsibility for the final version of the content.
When you were in the frame, there was a lack of production duties?
Not at all, we have made a lot of creativity on the MRS channel. Marple. I remember, both the rap Bumych wrote, and the documentaries were made, and unusual issues from the "streamkhata" were invented. We are a lot of creators. There it was all created without a smoke, now it has become calmer, again at the expense of the team.
How the channel appeared and why such a name?
He appeared when I worked as a host in virtus.Pro. And, of course, in many ways, thanks to Roman Nobility. Through it, I met the guys who asked why I should not create a channel. And Roma supported. There were no questions about the format, because at that time there was already extensive experience of the interviewer. Removed the pilot release, to which Roma personally translated subtitles.
So the channel "MRS. Marple ". There were no other options for the name, to be honest. We adhered to strategies that the product should be produced under the creator’s brand. And this is my author's project. And our first logo was like a magnifying glass, that is, we seemed to study a person carefully under a magnifying glass.
How your nickname appeared?
Back at school. At that time, the series “Miss Marl Agatha Christie” was popular, and now my classmates jokingly called me “Miss Marp”, like I knew a lot. And this nickname glued. Even such watermarks on her photo in VKontakte made. By the way, I recently found out that my birthday was one day with an actress who played the main role.
And your husband just had to take the appropriate Nick Mr. Marple?
Yes, and he took him with pleasure. He understood that he was just starting a career in the field of video. Under the real name, few people know him, but I already had a certain fame. Therefore, it played into his hands somewhere. In addition, Zhenya is enough feministic views so as not to get infringed on this, so he took his wife’s nickname and with a high is still wearing him.
What videos on your channel are most important for you?
I can not distribute in places of importance, but there are several particularly significant for me. The release that has not become popular, which is not deserved, is with an interview with Dima Brave. A lot of effort was invested to go out and fly to New Jersey. We were the first to make a big interview after his exit from prison [in 2018, the US court found him guilty of https://sister-site.org/golden-genie/ fraud. He was given four years and three months of imprisonment, but released in the courtroom]. For me it was a big and important journalistic work, which was appreciated by people from professional community.
I'll call the documentary about Navi more. There was also a lot of work there, and we even showed this video in the cinema – Vasily Utkin came to the premiere. She, too, may not be so high, but for me it was an important project.
The audience needs a hype, so the dad’s video was obviously remembered by people more than anyone else – this, of course, is the business card of the channel, but other releases are very close to my heart.
The channel brought you popularity on the streets?
Yes, they often approached me, asked to take pictures. It was not always convenient, but without extraordinary events. It's funny when there are friends from the media sphere who know nothing about e -sports. And we are friends not because I am “Marp”, but because I am Masha Ermolina. And it happens, they post a photo with me, and then they wonder how many people write about me in the comments. And then they say, they say, did not even know that you are a famous personality.
From the fact that you can remember offhand, there was a funny story of acquaintance with Yegor Creed. Zhenya was already familiar with him at that time. And I met him on the set of Urgant. And now I imagine, and he says, they say, I watched your issues! It was unusual.
What else are you doing now, besides working? Do you write music?
No, of course. Emigration greatly changed all our plans. Everyone who worked on the creation of tracks went to different countries. And due to this, it’s physically difficult to make music in the team. The process does not glue on the remote. In addition, the lack of an internal resource for this is affected. Because we were engaged in music when the sky was cloudless and everything was different.
Tell me about moving and life in Belgrade. Do you miss Moscow?
No, I don’t miss the city, which can not be said about parents and our animals. We have been living in Belgrade for two and a half years – and we really like. I have already got friends-Serbes, I teach my tongue with varying success. I try to even speak on it. I like here, and I see my future life in this city. Of course, I don't make a lifetime for my life. But today it is better for both me and for Zhenya.
What places in Belgrade became your loved ones?
We really like to spend time on Lake Ada Tsiganlia. The lower part of the Kaleydan park under the fortress is also on the list. Frushka Gora and Zlatibor also really likes. I especially fell in love with Serbia because you can find a lot of things an hour from the city: mountains, forests, vineyards. As for some institutions, in Belgrade and delicious in them, and Vaibovo. Serbs are very cool restaurateurs.
Did you think about reunite with my pets?
Yes, but to transport the piglet and the parrot definitely won't work. In Moscow, they have an apartment, fully equipped for their needs, as well as a mother who has hungry and cherishes them 24 by 7. It is wrong to transport exotic species to exotic species, because there are no conditions here and they will have to spend a lot of time alone. And here it is also not the best idea to start someone, because the schedule of life is chaotic, and again we live in a rented apartment.
What should we expect in the future from you?
I feel in myself the resource again do something in the media. But it takes time to comprehend it all and restart it all. So far, there is nothing even to announce, since I only accepted the idea that I was ready to do something further. But how the information will be, I will definitely inform.
What would you wish fans of e -sports and wanting to enter the industry?
Learn to mount – and you will always have work in e -sports. In general, live with your passion and get high, do not let adults, even if these are your peers, say that you are engaged in some kind of nonsense. Because something that you love can be a matter of your life.
