Where can I recruit extras in Beijing?

Extras are freelancers and are not employed by any company. There is no regular company to recruit extras, and there is no special place to recruit actors. In those days, when Beijing ran the mass actors, it was mainly to go to the gate of Beijing Film Factory and wait for the team leader to pull people every day. Now I mainly rely on my own channels and contacts to dig people from the group owners every day.

Extras mainly seek jobs through league leaders.

Team leader-extras

The extras only have a loose cooperative relationship with the crew, and the relationship with the crew is established through the bridge of team leader.

Extras usually find the group leader to receive the opera announcement through their own channels every day, or squat at the gate of the North Film Factory and wait for the group leader or the director's assistant to pull people. But now the North Film Factory is not a place to squat, mainly relying on its own channels and contacts. At present, the most commonly used way to receive plays is to circle a group of actors.

First, the basic understanding of extras.

1, extras are freelancers No company offers you a full-time job, and there is no such thing as a company recruiting extras full-time. All kinds of online film and television companies that recruit extras are deceptive. An extra actor is an extra actor, and generally there is no labor contract.

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.

4, extras generally have to solve the problem of food and shelter, there is no such thing as food and shelter recruitment, but also need to go to the drama every day to get notice.

5. Newcomers often misunderstand extras:

Misunderstanding (1): I thought there was a special film and television media company to recruit extras.

Myth (2): I thought I could be an extra actor with the group for a long time by finding a crew.

Myth (3): I think that when an extra actor can directly recommend himself to the director.

Myth (4): I think extras can have lines, show their faces and show their acting skills.

Myth (5): It is believed that extras can be employed for a long time and have food and shelter at the same time.

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. 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!

Second, about the conditions and salary of being an extra actor.

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.

2. What do extras need?

(1): Basic self-conditions of extras.

The so-called actor's own conditions basically refer to: personal image, education, performance professionalism and personal film and television works. Actors mainly rely on their resumes to register opportunities. No crew will use people out of thin air. There are thresholds and requirements for using any role.

Actors are divided into different levels, from big to small: leading role, supporting role, small and medium-sized role, large and small special performance, group performance, and each level has different requirements for actors.

Being an extra actor requires one's own conditions: usually being a normal person in a group performance is enough. Generally, a group's performance basically does not require acting skills, but there is no threshold at all. There are many ways to play, and it is easier to get the attention of the play. I have certain requirements for my image and height. Male height at least 165cm+, female height at least 160cm+. A good image can easily lead to a bright future.

(2) The classification of extras and the requirements of employing people.

Extras can be divided into: non-group extras and group extras.

Masses and troupe actors: Generally, experience in organizing a troupe is required, and at least one qualified troupe actor is required. Generally speaking, the crew is looking for such troupe actors, all of whom are graduates from professional colleges with high professionalism and understand drama. They can play all kinds of small roles in the crew! The length of the tour depends on the plot, three to five days, half a month, one or two months, three or four months, some sign, some don't sign! One of the main reasons why extras join the group is that the crew will go to other places to shoot, and the shooting location is not easy to find extras, so they will bring some extras with them! If you are playing with a group, you don't have to look for a drama every day.

Don't follow the mass actors: you need to find channels to find plays every day and then take them. Usually, more than 90% of the extras are in a state of not following the group.

Generally speaking, in places like Beijing and Hengdian, there are special studios and a large number of group leaders, so local filming will not recruit extras. If the crew needs extras, they just need to find the local leader directly. They don't spend money to support a group of people. No matter how expensive it is to stay in a hotel in Beijing, the crew won't spend money to support and form extras. All kinds of online recruitment websites in Beijing are basically fake.

(3) Salary of Beijing extras.

If you are with a group of extras, the short ones end in money, and the long ones end in money on a monthly basis. Usually the market is 3000-4500 yuan a month. If you are not a group actor, you usually borrow money on the day of filming, which is basically a daily knot. Market cost is 90- 120 yuan/day.

Third, how to find a play as an extra actor in Beijing.

1. How does the crew find extras?

The crew's demand for extras is usually raised at the shooting location. If the crew uses extras in filming, they will find some local film and television actors' manpower studios or local group leaders, such as Beijing or Hengdian, where there are local group leaders or studios to help find extras.

Usually, the assistant director of the actor will explain the basic requirements, number, age, characteristics and so on of the group performance to the group leader or studio leader. After the team leader or team leader gets the order, he chooses the right person from his own network resources. The first basic condition is that you can manage yourself. If you don't obey the management, you dare to criticize the team leader. I will worship you next time and keep you out of the art door. Therefore, group performances are generally subject to management, which is the first control.

The responsible group leader will tell the group performance about the day and let the group performers know what they are doing. Before filming, the assistant director of the actor will come and take care of it, count the number of people, talk about the play and the discipline of the crew.

2. How did the extras receive the notice from the opera newspaper?

The crew (deputy director)-team leader-extras. Generally speaking, extras have to ask the group leader to receive the notice of the play every day. Information required for extras to sign up for the preview of the play: personal photo, height and age.

Usually no other materials are needed. Directors generally don't directly pick extras, and they don't pay attention to the quality of group performances. Generally, they are randomly selected as backstage leaders, so no one can see your talents, and your resumes of other talents can't be pushed down by the director! Usually you can see assistant directors or executive directors at the shooting scene! 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 tens of millions of actors who have graduated from professional colleges, and which director will care about your recommendation as an extra actor.

3. About the place where Beijing extras squatted and played.

The place where there were more actors in Beijing in those days was called Beijing Film Studio. In those days, the entrance of the film studio was a place where redundant actors took over and announced. Every morning, group leaders or crews come here to pull people to film, but now it doesn't exist.

Now the North Film Studio has moved to Song Yang Town, Huairou District, Beijing. The name has also changed! The name is "National China Film Digital Production Base (referred to as China Film)". The North Film Factory base is gone. Now there are only two major film and television bases in Beijing, one is China Film Base and the other is Bayi Base.

However, these two bases are not places where extras crouch and make announcements. Generally, it is deceptive to recruit people under the banner of these two bases, especially in Huairou, where scammers are concentrated. Many people who didn't have access to Beijing to run actors were tricked into "keeping in captivity" in Huairou. At present, there is no special place for extras to perform in Beijing, and there is no fixed place for the crew to recruit people, and there is no so-called crew preparation office. At the same time, the channels and ways for extras to receive plays have also changed.

4. How do Beijing extras find drama to take over?

At present, group performances, group performances, special invitations and role actors in Beijing mainly rely on channels:

(1), you have friends and relatives, but generally no one and a stranger with no purpose will take you. If you see someone claiming to take you as an actor online or somewhere, this person usually has a certain purpose. Many people in this industry are cheated because they love to pick up cheap or believe in some so-called "good people".

(2) I have channels to receive opera notices (such as the actors in the circle, or the WeChat of the team leader, agent and deputy director, and the employment notice sent by their circle of friends. At present, most actors in Beijing receive operas through WeChat. )

(3) I have the platform resources to take on the drama. For example, there are many studios (some film associations or actors associations). ) In Beijing, it is officially engaged in the human resources of film and television actors. They mainly dock the crew and get the crew list. Many crew preparations and employment are completed through some reliable film and television studios in the circle. These studios have special actor resources, get the list of actors and then send a notice to find actors. Actors can publish investment materials through them every day. If you run in Beijing and don't take the channel, you can find a small bottle of human resources studio.

Four, about the food and shelter of Beijing extras.

If you have your own conditions and access to the theater, then you can come to Beijing as a walk-on, but when you come to Beijing, the first problem is food and shelter. Because running actors are freelancers, being a freelancer means being self-reliant. No matter where you go as an actor, it's the same in Beijing or Hengdian. The first thing to do is to rent a house.

Newcomers want to drift north and run as actors, so it's best to prepare their own room and board expenses for two or three months in advance!

First, those who really run as actors, even those who run for decades, rent their own houses. There is no such thing as an actor and a crew until you really get them. Even if you are in a group, you should rent your own house, because the time with the group is uncertain, ranging from a few days to a month or two. After filming, you have to go home by yourself, stay in a hotel in the group, and you can only take some simple luggage. If you're done, you have to go home and find another crew and make another play!

Second, this line of work is not a permanent job. Whether you can receive the drama depends on your own channels and contacts! I have work today, but I may not have it tomorrow. The early stage is definitely not normal! The most basic food and shelter is to eat old money!

Third, the transportation fee for running every day, if you take the subway, often goes to 20 yuan 10 a day! At present, the lowest standard group performance market price is 90- 120 yuan/day! And the food and beverage expenses are at least 20-30 yuan/day. It is possible that the crew will pack a box lunch. Generally speaking, these living expenses are solved by yourself, and no one will support you!

5. Where is the way out for extras? Where is the future?

1, extras want to have a way out, they must have their own conditions to get in touch with the director.

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. No director chooses you because of your looks or eloquence. The director is also hired by the producer to work. If he doesn't do well, he will have to leave. It's no joke to invest in filming, and people also look for professional actors to shoot.

2. Where is the way out for extras?

(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 go on, starting with group performances. If you really want to go far and develop, then continue to study and further your studies. Generally, you will gradually get up from the role of an extra actor-special-special-special. 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.

If there is no channel for Beijing runners, you can know++= micro ~ ... Gong ~...ZH *: Small Bottle Human Resources Studio-Beijing provides information services for actors and filming announcements, and is committed to one of the most reliable film and television human channel platforms in Beijing.
