1, when extras are freelancers, there is no company to provide you with full-time jobs, and there is no so-called company to recruit extras full-time. All kinds of online film and television companies that recruit extras are deceptive.

2. The director will not directly select and recruit extras, nor will he pay attention to the quality of group performances. Extras generally have no lines and independent shots, and extras are generally recruited by group leaders or deputy directors.

3. If you don't continue your studies, you will be an experienced group performance for one year and an experienced group performance for ten years, but you can only be a group performance.

Extras are not directly employed by an employer, but form a loose cooperative relationship with the crew, which is not managed by the crew, that is, they do not have typical labor relations characteristics. Extras do not have labor contracts, and to put it bluntly, they are individual workers without employers, and their professional risks are great. They have no stable source of wage income, social insurance, housing accumulation fund and other social security. Extras are not contract actors, and it is better for actors who want to be part-time actors and have time!

Secondly, secondly.

1. What is an extra?

Extras or extras, commonly known as caffeine, episode or passerby A in Hong Kong, refer to actors who play idle roles such as pawns, diners and passers-by in restaurants. Because their nature is similar to the walk-on in China traditional operas, they are sometimes called walk-on. In movies, stage plays or TV programs, these actors are usually employed on short-term contracts and are called "extras", commonly known as "temporary records" in Hong Kong.

Extras refer to people who frequently appear in various film and television crews, go out early and return late every day, and wait for the director to greet them most of the time, earning tens of yuan a day. Some are for making money, some are for acting fame, and some are just for idolization. More often, it is just a "green leaf" starring silently. Being an extra actor in Beijing has to find a way to take over the play every day, which is basically a daily job. Without food and shelter, they all rent their own houses, which is a very unstable job. Whether they can receive programs or not depends mainly on their own channels and ways of receiving programs.

2. How does the crew recruit extras?

(1) Then someone will ask, how did the director choose the extras?

I'm also telling you here that the director doesn't pick extras and doesn't pay attention to the quality of group performances. They are usually randomly selected as the person in charge. Recruiting a group to perform a group performance is generally handed over to the head of the cooperation group for recruitment. In Beijing, it is generally a day job, the day the employer finds it, and the day's work. Extra is like handing out cabbage. The head of the team is arranged, and the crew will count the number of people here. When you meet a beautiful group, even the number of people is not counted. As much as you say, and then pay per head. For group performances, the standard is 100- 150 yuan for one day, or higher. When the group is sent to the group performance, there are only eighty or ninety left.

(2) The main roles are decided by the directors and producers, and some are special guests of several plays, and the extras are handed over to the assistant directors of the actors to meet with the leaders of the troupe. The assistant director of the actor contacted the group leader directly. Simply put, the team leader recruited extras according to the requirements of the deputy director!

(3) Registration requirements for extras: send personal photos, height and age, and other information is not needed. So even if you are talented, no one can see it, and your resume can't beat the director! Usually what you can see at the shooting scene is the assistant director. Or executive director! Even if you meet the director, the director is not idle to chat with you or watch you recommend yourself! What's more, there are thousands of actors who graduated from professional colleges, and which director will care about your recommendation as an extra actor!

Being an actor is the dream of many people, especially young people. They all want to be chased by others for autographs one day, just like those glamorous big stars. This kind of wish, for most people who have done group performances all their lives, may be impossible to realize and will always be just a "daydream". But if you don't have a professional performance foundation, or you don't come from a professional course or graduate from a professional college, you will always be an extra actor, and the best development prospect is Tuan Te or Xiao Te!

Third, once again.

This is the problem. Where is the way out for extras? Where is the future?

1 first of all, we must realize that if we want to have a way out, we must be able to receive photogenic plays and get in touch with directors.

If you want the director to get in touch with you, you must at least be a qualified guest. Generally, the information of actors with more than one guest will be recommended by the deputy director and sent to the director. The director will arrange an audition after seeing it! Generally speaking, the actors invited above are basically from regular classes, or graduated from professional colleges or experienced certain training and have certain works. Whether an assistant director or a director looks at the resume information of an actor, the first thing he wants to see is the graduate school and the works he has filmed in the past.

2. Resume information of extras. First, there are no graduates from professional colleges. Second, there is no work that I have filmed.

Just look at the performances of these two groups, and there is no chance for the director to take a fancy to you. No director will choose you by your looks or eloquence. The director is also hired by the producer to work. If he can't do it well, he has to leave. It is no joke to invest in making works, and people also find professional actors to shoot them.

3. If you want to be an actor with more roles:

First, you are a trained person and have certain connections. Most directors still recognize actors from the Nortel Performance Department of Chinese Opera. Without professional performance, it is difficult for you to play a good role!

Second, you have a strong background. Or acquaintances are engaged in this industry and have certain influence in this industry.

Third, you have money. Or you know rich people. You can use your own money to invest in movies, or you have instinct, and you can trick others into investing in you. Also, be a producer yourself and squeeze yourself into the role!

Fourth, you are an online celebrity and a popular star with a large number of fans, which shows that you have commercial value. The director may give you a role, a movie popularity effect!

Fifth, luck, luck Rainbow Bao Qiang! But opportunities often fall on those who are prepared. If Wang doesn't have many years of Shaolin Temple martial arts skills, he can't perform in the martial arts groups of various crews, and there will be no chance behind him! There are also some girls who say that Zhao is not a professional actor and wants to learn to be a walk-on actor, but Zhao is not a walk-on. She was able to participate in the talent show, won the champion of Xiaogang Feng Group, and let Huayi Company sign up for training and packaging!

4. Some people say that it is a bit arbitrary to be an actor in an art school, and there are also non-art school actors. However, people who don't go to art school now, or who haven't experienced certain professional performance training, even entering this industry is a big problem. Most of the actors who can become popular are discovered in art schools. Some actors and stars have been on TV since they were three or four years old because of family relations and conditions. Becoming a monk halfway, even the resources of the art school are not accessible. You didn't study professional acting in art school and you don't have many contacts. You want to enter the industry. You can only start with a walk-on group performance and then continue your study. At present, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, the actor who has won the most Best Actor in China Film Industry, is also from a poor family. After dropping out of junior high school, he worked as a newspaper boy, accountant and handyman. Under the introduction of my good friend Stephen Chow, I entered the "RTHK TV Artist Training Course" and became a TV actor.

Many people will say why I must be an art school student, I can do it, I can also act, and I am not ugly! First of all, you should know that you have the ability to compete with art school students. Students in the performing arts school are screened when they take the art school exam, and their looks and bodies will not be worse than yours. So some people say it looks good, but in fact it just looks good! There is also acting. Art school students are systematically trained, and their acting skills are not necessarily worse than yours.

You also said you had acting skills. What is acting? The understanding of acting skills is not necessarily good for art school students. Even if you look good, you must have acting skills and comprehensive physical fitness! Actors who have studied in the professional system will have a strong understanding ability, can better understand the script, the inner world of the role, understand the shooting lens, can draw inferences in artistic creation, and adapt to different types of complex creative environments. Otherwise, how can there be an art school? Art students are a small film quality guarantee for the crew!

Besides, there are more than 3,000 art schools in Chinese mainland, not to mention so many students! You know, the entertainment industry is very competitive. If you want to grab the jobs of art school students, you must have the ability and conditions. Many art school students have changed careers, and most art schools are walk-ons.

6. Finally, where is the way out for the group performance?

(1) If you are still young, you dream of taking the road of being an actor, and you have a good family background and are talented, then your best way is to take an art school. If conditions permit, you'd better take an art school, such as Nortel, Chinese Opera, Shangxi and PLA Art School.

(2) You become a monk halfway, and you don't even have access to the resources of the art school. You haven't studied professional acting, and you don't have contacts in art school. We can only move forward, starting with the group performance. If you really want to go far and develop, then continue to study and further your studies.

Generally speaking, from the role of extras-group expertise-special performance-we should move up step by step. It's easy for the masses to go to the group, but the group invited them, not only personally participated in many works, but also must have a certain professionalism and a good resume! Many newcomers want to join the group or recommend themselves to the director without even touching the group performance, which is very unrealistic. On the surface, actors eat by their faces, but in fact, actors eat by their acting skills and works.
