Initially Just a Supporting Actor, This is How Misca Mancung Became a Soap Opera Star

Kapanlagi.com - Not many people know how Misca Fortuna Iqtishodiyah, or better known as Misca Mancung, became a soap opera star. Starting from a desire expressed to her mother, Misca Mancung was then invited by her mother to participate in shooting as an extra.

This was revealed by Jeky Susilowati, the mother of Misca Mancung, when she was visited at her residence in Depok, West Java recently. Jeky said that instead of getting tired after shooting as an extra from morning to morning, Misca Mancung became even more enthusiastic when receiving her payment.

"So, when she was watching TV, she casually said 'mom, I want to be on TV', so I ended up bringing her to shoot as an extra. Every day, I took her to shoot in Cibubur, I showed her that we would go home at dawn, but she became more excited every day and I kept telling her 'if you're just an extra, the payment is small'," said Jeky Susilowati.

"Then, in the fifth month, I became a coordinator and I took the opportunity to bring my child along. I gave the payment directly to her, so she became motivated. If she's not shooting, she even asks when the next shooting will be," she continued.

1. Can Get an Extra Job

Six months later, Jeky said that he and Misca Mancung just got a job as extras in the TV series Emak Ijah Pengen Ke Mekah. From there, Jeky secretly told Misca to join one scene fully, then his actions in front of the camera were seen by the producer and finally he was contracted for 200 episodes.

"Six months later, he finally got the job in Emak Ijah Pengen Ke Mekah, it was unintentional, he turned out to be secretly used by another team with Astrada. Then when he came back, he said that at first he didn't believe it. Then two days later, he was contacted and told that his child would be shooting because the producer saw that the child was cute, so he was contracted for 200 episodes," he said.

2. Mother Tells Misca Mancung's Character

Not only that, Misca Mancung's mother also told about the character 'kunciran' Mancung. Jely said that the character was created by the director for Misca.

"The character was introduced a few weeks later, when he was still an extra and his hair was not tied. But when he was contracted, this character was created by the director because he has a flat nose, so his nickname is Mancung and his hair is tied. He has a flat nose, but his hair is tied," she concluded.
