The threshold for extras is very low, and there is no requirement for height, weight and appearance, as long as 18 years old or above. Girls can't have short hair, or the union interview will be brushed off. (There are also girls' short hair group performances, but there are fewer scenes. ) The daily wage is 10 hour, which is about 100 yuan. The number of group performances is huge, and there is not a show every day.
In the past two years, the evaluation of future actors has been very strict. The net height of boys is above1.78m, and that of girls is above1.65m.. Don't think about wearing high heels, socks and pads. It's all barefoot measurement.
(Some values outside the chart can be relaxed. )
Of course, the prospect assessment is more than just passing the height test. Many people who have reached the height standard have failed many times in the past few years. ) The overall temperament is very important. The future daily wage will be above 0/6 hour in 220 yuan/kloc. You can basically work for more than 20 days a month.
(Change clothes and work overtime 100 yuan)
The assessment of special actors is stricter. Both Putonghua and acting skills need to pass rigorous examinations. Only art colleges and professionally trained people can become special actors.
People in Hengdian will be divided into 3, 6, 9 and so on. Assigned by the trade union to different group performance working groups. Extras will register at the same time every night. After the cast is announced, the administrator will decide who needs to go to work tomorrow according to the registration order.
Being late, absent from work, leaving early, and not taking the initiative in work will be punished by warning, writing a critical letter, failing to arrange work for several days, and kicking out of the trade union group.
Foreground and special actors are also notified by the staff in the working group. According to the requirements of the crew, they sent personal videos to introduce themselves for the crew to choose.
The director of the crew arranged an interview and determined the role after meeting the requirements. The salary is generally 220 500 yuan a day. If you have lines or features, you can talk to the director about his salary.
Martial arts and equestrian, two kinds of actors, usually earn 200-300 yuan. They can also join martial arts and horseback riding groups themselves without going through trade unions. As long as you are strong, you can crawl and somersault. Most people know martial arts.
There are many training courses on horseback riding, and I have learned it for a short time. The registration fee for riding is 300 yuan. One Ma Yinxing earns 200,300 a day. However, because there are many actors who can ride horses, it is not easy to sign up for the play.
Don't be afraid of hard work if you want to make more money in Hengdian. When there is no chance, get up early and go out to pick up pigeons. Picking pigeons is to replace those who can't get off work for various reasons. ) You should learn acting, equestrian, martial arts with an open mind, or write a script, send videos and articles on major media platforms, and earn a contribution fee.
You can also learn more performance skills in peacetime, and strive to become a prospect and special guest as soon as possible. You can also go to take-out or go to the factory to work on the construction site.
Extras can also go to various studios, film crews and hotels to find directors to play various roles without going through trade unions. In this way, basically, regardless of renting, eating and living, the monthly salary will be much higher than others, and there will be more opportunities to show your face.
Finally, I sincerely advise you not to come to Hengdian Studios to find boyfriends and girlfriends. Don't think that you are a little small and eloquent, and you can find sincere friends in Hengdian. Everyone is exchanging hearts for hearts.
Many girls think they can play queen, maid, maid and wet nurse when they come, but there are also many stars who want to see their favorite. In short, most of them came with hope and returned disappointed, and even many of them were cheated, making it difficult to survive. Girls here usually don't last for three months without male tickets or other sideline jobs.
As in other places, there are not many girls in Hengdian. There are fewer girls' plays, and many girls who come to Hengdian are ready to devote themselves to art. However, no matter how beautiful their faces are, how can we ensure that people are not tired?
Don't come over blindly and confidently just because you are surrounded by the pursuit of several men. Life is not easy, do it and cherish it.
First of all, you need 18 years old.
This should be easy to understand. After all, unlike other institutions, the crew sometimes has too many mouths to take care of you all the time. At the very least, you should be independent and have full capacity for civil conduct.
Simply put, no one will care that you are a child and need to take care of yourself.
Second, you need to register with the actors' guild.
First apply for a temporary residence permit, and then take a copy of the temporary residence permit, ID card, bank card and two one-inch photos to the actors' union to apply for an actor's license.
Actors' union mainly collects information of actors (mostly group performances), conducts some consulting and training in performing arts, and can also coordinate the relationship between audience seats and actors to protect the rights of actors.
Third, we need to be mentally prepared.
At present, too many people want to succeed by doing group performances, and it is rare to really make a name for themselves from huge group performances. So after that fresh energy, there is still a lot of bitterness to eat.
Group performance means that it may just act as a background, or it may just be a passer-by, with no lines and a straight face, sometimes walking around again and again as required. Of course, it is also possible to be scolded when you meet a director with a bad temper.
The main difficulty is that there is no chance to shoot. Not every group performance can be filmed every day. After all, there are too many people, so who to choose is luck.
Therefore, when there is no filming, it is equal to zero income.
Fourth, some prospects and special interviews require higher height and image, and special interviews also need relevant certificates from professional colleges. It is said that ordinary group performances need their own actor's license to reach 3 months before they can participate in such interviews.
This enterprise is different from others. As many people are likely to succeed, there will be many times as many people fail. Therefore, before you go, you'd better calm down for a while. It is very likely that the road of group performance is not as satisfactory and successful as down-to-earth work.
Let me show you the price first. The price of group performance is 80+ 10.
Prospect 220+20
Special price 300+
If you can ride a horse, then 400+ is higher.
This is the daily price, which may fluctuate, but not much. A little acting, the income will be good. You have to have a basic prospect, eat and drink, and save some money. Others need to apply for an actor's license (easy to handle), join trade unions and notification groups, meet some friends, and have other groups.
Group performance: basically, anyone who doesn't look too fat can perform. The clothes of the crew may not be that big, because they basically don't show their faces, as long as they can be seen as individuals in the camera [covering their faces]
Prospect: the scenery behind the protagonist, this appearance, so boys require the minimum height of 180, 120 kg, which looks good, girls don't know haha, but Miss Hengdian looks good.
Lester: this one has lines and acting skills, but it doesn't meet the prospect requirements, and the salary is quite good. When your scene is finished, you can send it by car. Even if it is delivered separately, the price is very good. The play is not as good as the prospect, so it's better to send it as a special guest.
The price of the specific protagonist and supporting role is very high. If you don't even have an actor's license, you just need to know these first.
This is a photo of me with the actors and my daily life.
There are no conditions, as long as 18 years old or older, there is no requirement for gender, height, fat and thin face value, and the salary varies from 120 to 200 a day.
If you have high qualifications and good acting skills, you may be higher. It is not a problem to get tens of thousands of dollars a month to perform in a group.
But whether you eat or live, you have to prepare your own accommodation. After you go, try to get an actor's license and hone your acting skills. Maybe there's a future.
There are many drifters in Hengdian, and many people have an actor dream in their hearts, but only a few of them can become popular in the end, so it depends on your own luck and ability.
If you have a chance to appear in a play, you should try to seize every opportunity. Even if you play a maid, you should seize the opportunity to show your face and let the audience have memories. Then naturally, you will gradually become famous and you will become popular.
In addition, if you really go to Hengdian to be an extra actor, I suggest you act during the day, become an online celebrity, sign up for an acting class and learn some acting knowledge.
Both men and women should strive to improve their appearance and connotation, and do more exercise and read more books when they are free.
Being an extra actor is very lucky. It's very tiring to go to various crews and run back and forth every day, and the treatment of group performances is very poor. There is no social security, so we should consider it carefully.
Some people there are trying to make a living, while others are trying to realize their dreams. So, come on if you have the chance!
Just work hard, put it into action, don't think too much, leave everything to time, and time will give you the answers and gains you want.
When the extras don't ask for it, aunt can do it, as long as anyone can. 18 to 80-year-old people, the daily salary 108 starts, overtime 1 hour,1hour, and the corpse is 9 hours faster. The daily wage is about 108 to 200.
The age is between 18 and 60 years old. Men require short hair or bald heads without tattoos, while women require long black hair over the shoulders without tattoos. Take the rental contract to Hengdian to apply for a temporary residence permit, then take the ID card, bank card, one-inch photo, 10 yuan cash to apply for an actor's card in the actors' union, and you will be notified as soon as you join the group.
This is an era when as long as you have dreams and courage, you can bury your head and rush forward. At the same time, this is also an era that will not succeed as long as you work hard. To put it bluntly, the two propositions of "you can succeed if you work hard" and "you can't succeed if you don't work hard enough" are simply false propositions. Too many of us have verified these two false propositions, right?
Want to organize a group to play in Hengdian? In fact, there are no conditions. After all, everyone who looks insignificant may encounter an opportunity, even though many people may not. Because often when you decide to give up, you will never meet this opportunity again.
As a foreigner working in Hengdian, although I am not an actor, I have really seen too many group performances.
If you are lucky and have a proud appearance (height+appearance+figure), then you will have more opportunities to come to Hengdian than others. If you are lucky and have special physical conditions (fat, ugly and short), you also have a good chance in Hengdian.
If you know a lot of skills that are different from ordinary people, such as riding, martial arts, dancing, or even any skill that only a few people can do, then you will have a good development space in Hengdian.
If you are a well-trained person, then I believe you already have many conditions. Do you have a chance in Hengdian? I don't think I need to say more.
If, unfortunately, you don't have any of the above, and you are just a simple and persistent dream catcher, then you are likely to give up your acting dream in the day-to-day blow. Perhaps, you will lose your original survival skills because of this.
I think when it comes to chasing dreams, we have to say Stephen Chow, Wang He and New king of comedy.
When it comes to "new king of comedy", we have to mention "king of comedy". In the past twenty years, "Star Boy" has become a star master, and the studio of the traditional Hong Kong film industry has become a "vertical shop" in the story background. The only constant is Stephen Chow's earnest concern for passers-by.
In 20 15, I am a passer-by directed by Dong Shengyi was born. Those group performances wandering in Hengdian let us know that a person's value is divided into three grades: height, appearance and Mandarin. The truth is cruel: you can play passers-by, but you can't be popular. Only a few people can be like Wang. At the same time, the hardships, efforts, sadness and disillusionment of passerby A also make every ordinary person feel the same. Life is not easy, you must work very hard.
Too many filmmakers have had the experience of shooting the prototype of Hengdian, a "vertical shop". After all, on average, more than 100 film and television dramas are filmed here every year, and one third of costume dramas in China are completed here. As the world's largest film and television shooting base, Hengdian, which is called "Hollywood in China" by American Hollywood magazine, seems to be a film and television factory, and people from all over the world form a "wandering" family.
Wang plays a walk-on waiting at the gate of Beijing Film Studio in New king of comedy. His real personal experience can be said to be very consistent with the dramatic dream pursuit process of the heroine in the film.
In the roadshow of "New king of comedy", Wang specially came to Hengdian Film and Television City and visited the gathering place of extras. Recalling his career as an extra actor, Wang said frankly that it was Yin Tianchou in king of comedy who supported him through the years of "walk-on".
Stephen Chow said, what's the difference between a man without a dream and a salted fish? And Wang, with his unremitting efforts, proved that a passerby can also be a "king of comedy".
Tony Leung Chiu Wai said in "Hearing the Voice of a Flowing Star" (the film review of Tony Leung Chiu Wai's "I am a Passerby"), "Every passerby in the play, from being at a loss when he first entered the business to being too hard every time, will make me laugh, just like seeing himself 30 years ago." It is because of their Do not forget your initiative mind's perseverance that they paved the way from passers-by to famous directors and stars step by step.
Every young man who works hard in the city can find his own shadow in the movies. There is no success that can be achieved casually, and there is no dream that can be easily pursued.
I cried when I watched it, and there was suffering behind the punch line.
Perhaps, each of us used to be a "passer-by" in society. But in the end, we can all live as "king of comedy" in our own lives.
I don't advocate you to pursue your dreams, but people really need to have dreams, and if they have dreams, they are not afraid of pain.
Here, I hope all dream catchers can finally find their dreams. Maybe this dream is not necessarily acting fame. Perhaps, when you are admitted to the school you want to study, you will find your dream; Perhaps, when you meet that lingering person, you find your dream; Maybe, if you have a happy family, you will find your dream.
Bless all dream catchers!
It can be said that it is a person. At present, Hengdian is short of people and has too many crews. It's very hot and sunny in summer. It's 40 degrees every day when it's hot in summer, and it's still sunny. Who can stand it? It's hot to wear your own clothes in summer, let alone wear a bunch of clothes in the crew. More than 10 thousand people are wearing the clothes of the crew, which are smelly and dirty. Now the prospect is 220% a day, and the crew is stuck every day, getting up at three or four in the morning and getting up at seven or eight in the evening.
If you want to be an extra actor in Hengdian, you must be at least 18 years old, because only in this way can you take care of yourself independently. "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's hard to go out for a day." It is really difficult to earn money by wandering outside. Take care of yourself and cherish yourself!
