What is the best way to be an actor?

There are several main channels for becoming an actor, which can be divided according to the degree of common use: 1. Entering an art school; 2. Going to a film and television base to wait and wait to be an extra; 3. Relying on the guidance of contacts in the circle or Introduction; 4. Find directors or other people who have been collecting actor information for free auditions in the industry that have always existed but have only begun to surface in recent years; 5. Meet talent scouts. Four and five of them should be very close. The more common things that are not listed here are the so-called company recruitment and direct recruitment from the crew, which are frequently advertised. Why didn't I include it? This is because the actors in the regular crew are not recruited. Have you ever seen any actors who were recruited? Those so-called places that recruit actors are all fake recruitment scams, not even a real one. Don't even touch them. As long as you go and take a look, they will find a way to make you pay.

Since everyone is familiar with the first, second and third items, there is no need to explain too much. Only the unknown fourth item and the mysterious fifth item are likely to arouse the curiosity of enthusiasts. Notice. Now I will focus on this matter. If you have other questions, you can send me a private message to discuss it in detail. I am one of the elderly volunteers engaged in this free audition charity activity in Beijing.

In fact, directors and agents in the entertainment industry are doing their own unique job that can also be called a talent show every moment every day, that is, free auditions, shooting and accumulation of female artists. sample expansion packs and pick their favorites at any time. As for which well-known artists have become actors through this relatively typical audition method, it seems difficult for others to judge because they generally do not publicize their experience. Of course, the directors, photographers and others who do the specific work of these auditions are aware of it, but they will not disclose this information to the outside world without the artist's permission. This channel is actually a mainstream channel for actors to get into dramas, so it must be said that most of the actors on the crew have gone through this channel.

The so-called crew is actually a group temporarily formed for filming. All actors are recruited from elsewhere through audition selection. There is no new recruitment, including cast members and character actors. Yes, did you hear that the actor was recruited? Most of the actors in the crew are already actors, and they all have their own original units, some are from a drama troupe, some are from a certain folk art troupe, some are from a certain art troupe, some are from film studios, actor troupes, and some are from art schools. Some are introduced by related people, etc., and so on.

Among these actors, extras do not belong to the category of actors, but are under the management of the props team. They are called living props and are not meant for people to watch. These live props, that is, extras, are all ordered by going to various gathering places for extra performances, and some are arranged by contacting the group leader. In addition to extras, it is inevitable that there may be some small role actors who need to be temporarily deployed and selected, and some backup actors are selected from various channels. Of course, these channels may also include graduates of film and television schools and amateurs. Therefore, the director needs to conduct free preliminary auditions among these students and enthusiasts on a daily basis in order to accumulate and store the actor information he has. Some directors will do these tasks themselves, and some directors will entrust their enthusiastic volunteer friends to help them do it. When entrusting volunteer friends to do it, most of the people who participated in the audition were assigned to them by the director, and these friends also You can find people to shoot by yourself in various ways, so if you can find volunteer friends like them, you can also have the opportunity to participate in this free audition event.

However, these volunteer friends who find people to audition for free usually do not publicize it to the outside world. They come from person to person through audition actors, personal friends come here because of their reputation, and they accidentally discover it on the street. Bringing in people and other methods to select people, because there are too many people coming just this way, and it is simply overwhelming, so they don’t need to advertise, and in most cases you can’t find them online. It seems that these free audition activities only exist in legends, and there seems to be no place to find them. However, no matter how meticulous an activity is, there is no airtight wall. As long as this exists in the world, it will definitely be found.

This is because some of the friends who help the director to shoot audition materials are retired elderly volunteer friends. In addition to accepting the subjects assigned by the director, they also find people by themselves due to contact reasons. There are very few friends who are in their prime, and they cannot go to the street to recruit people for auditions, so the only remaining channel is to introduce the matter online, hoping that someone will participate in their free audition activities in the future. They just want to have something to do in their old age, exercise their body, move their waist and legs, cultivate their sentiments, and enrich their retirement life. They are not doing it for money, but just for fun. So, that creates an opportunity for you girls who don't have any other connections to find them for free auditions.

Perhaps you can also see that I only emphasize on accepting girls. In fact, it is not that I don’t let boys audition, but that no director asks me for male artists. I have so many men to audition. What is it for? I can't bear to eat. Currently, all free auditions conducted by volunteers in the industry are limited to the actual needs of the director and will not require male artists. Because any actor with a small role or an older actress in the crew will not refuse to perform unexpectedly, the director does not need to make backup plans for the actors and older actresses. What the director has saved is to prevent them. When a young actress suddenly refuses to play certain roles, she must be able to step in immediately. A young actress who does not refuse to play any role must be able to step in immediately. What kind of actors the director needs to save will entrust his friends to help him conduct preliminary auditions for such actors, thus deriving the so-called free audition activities held by volunteers in the circle. That's all. It's not a general selection of male and female actors. Don't get me wrong.

Our audition activities are all held on location in downtown Beijing. All auditions are completely free. You only need to find your own accommodation. The event is not specifically for girls who want to be actors and models, but for all girls. Even if you don’t want to be an actor or model, you just love to express yourself in front of the camera. It’s purely for relaxing and relieving boredom. It’s just for casual fun without any extravagant expectations. That's ok too. This activity is more enjoyable and very suitable for girls. This event is not specifically set up to recruit actors and models. Being selected to enter the entertainment industry is purely a side effect of the daily work in the industry. So ours here is definitely not one of those places outside that scam money in the name of recruiting actors and models.

Therefore, it is best to be a girl who comes to Beijing to live without a job and has a lot of time. She is willing to relax through on-site auditions and photos. There are no restrictions on appearance and body, as long as she has the basic skills of an artist. Girls who have quality and professional ethics, who do not refuse to take any shots that are artistically required due to personal distractions, and who can insist on auditioning with me for a long time before being selected can participate in the shooting. You are encouraged to bring your own costumes (subject to our approval), or you can wear props and costumes provided by us for free. This event is free to take photos. Photos that meet the regulations will be given away afterwards. There are no hidden rules. You will be responsible for your own makeup and styling during accommodation. Free working meals will be provided during the shooting period. We have a word of caution with all the girls who audition, and there is no guarantee that we will find a way out for you. Please be sure to correct your mentality and treat it as a free exercise, training, experience, and entertainment.

Since people from employers come to me from time to time to watch movies and select people, and every time they come they only watch recent ones, so if you only shoot once or twice, you are very likely to be hired. They missed it. Only if you insist on auditioning and filming the expansion film with me for a long time, the probability of being seen by them will be higher. Therefore, I require girls to be enthusiastic people who love taking pictures or performing, and to be willing to audition with me for a long time. Regardless of whether you are selected or not, you will be very happy. We don’t charge a penny, and we are all for enrichment. In retirement life, I can move my waist and legs and exercise, so I don’t mind giving you free auditions for a long time. You can still happily take photos, so why not?

It should be noted that those selected in this way are usually not extras, but actors with small roles, minor supporting actors, stuntmen, etc. Sometimes there are also female leads. Of course, extras are not excluded when the opportunity arises. As long as you come to me, except that you don't make any money, you are no different from a real artist. All shooting activities are carried out on location in Beijing. After shooting, you can voluntarily choose to participate in targeted free life experiences and other artistic accumulation organized by me. Photos will not be published, made public, or used for profit without the consent of the person being photographed.

The other one is your age. If you are underage girls, no one will dare to choose you to participate in film and television shootings without permission, unless your parents can bring you here, or give you permission to participate in film and television shootings and There is no written proof of refusal to shoot scenes. Even so, it is very troublesome to use you as an actor. If you don’t have an ID card, you will have to issue a certificate from the local police station, and your parents will go through the procedures in person, etc., and If you have an ID card, you only need to have proof from your parents that you do not refuse to be photographed. Otherwise, you can only wait until you are over 18 years old to come on your own. In fact, even if you can't film now, as long as your parents agree, you can use the winter and summer vacations to come to Beijing to audition first, practice your camera skills and expressiveness, accumulate experience, enrich your experience, and experience life in the industry.

I have been doing this charity work for decades. Many well-known artists have come from my audition activities. If you search on the Internet, except for the gang of scammers whose jobs were ruined by me, In addition to the malicious attacks and abuses from some of the company's top brass, so far no artist who has actually auditioned with me has complained about any irregularities on my part. I have even been ridiculed as being unworldly and having abnormal sexual orientation. I don't understand the style, etc., and enjoy a high reputation in the entertainment industry in Beijing. Those who are clean will be clean themselves. This is my pride.

I am a former senior executive in the Beijing entertainment industry and have now retired.
