What time do you get up for the Xiangshan Film and Television Group?

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, they are just "green leaves" starring silently ... they all have the same name-extras.

There are many reasons why the extras industry does not sign labor contracts.

First, the particularity of the industry, extras are not directly employed by an employer, but form a loose cooperative relationship with each crew, which is not managed by the crew, that is, they do not have typical labor relations characteristics.

Second, extras are indifferent to their rights and don't know how to safeguard their legitimate rights.

The rights and obligations between the extras and the crew mainly depend on oral agreement, even the core content, such as the calculation method of labor remuneration, also depends on oral agreement, and the two sides generally do not sign a written contract. This kind of cooperation based on interpersonal trust rather than contract is very fragile.

Third, there is no corresponding legal regulation, and the relationship between extras and film and television companies (crews) does not have the typical characteristics of labor relations, but there is no relevant legal regulation on how to regulate this special form of employment.

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 and housing accumulation fund, and no other social security. Once an injury accident occurs, it is very difficult to defend their rights.
