I want to be an extra. Where is a good place to go? This has always been my dream.

Beijing or Hengdian is the place where extras choose to walk.

Every year, a large number of young people come to Beijing to be extras, just because of a box of actor dreams.

However, most people either fall into the trap of swindlers or can't find a way to undertake the program, and finally their dreams are shattered.

What do you need to be an extra actor in Beijing today?

1, if you want to be an extra actor in Beijing, you need to have your own conditions to undertake the program.

Generally speaking, there are certain age, height and image requirements for the crew to find extras in filming.

Age: The crew will find a group performance of the corresponding age according to the needs of the plot. Generally 18-35 years old, there are more drama announcements every day, and it is easier to pick up the drama.

Height: 170cm+ for men and 165cm+ for women, which is relatively easy to be associated with drama. Basically, every group performance preview requires height.

Image: Usually, when signing up for the group performance notice, the group leader or team leader has certain checks and requires to send photos first to see the image. If the image is good, it is easy to report the play.

If you want to be an extra actor in Beijing, you have to know what an extra actor is, the scope of work and the salary level.

(1) What is an extras?

Actors can be divided into different sizes: protagonist-role-special-group performance.

Extras are the last group in the actor industry, belonging to extras, who generally act as pawns, diners and passers-by in restaurants during filming.

(2) The scope of work of extras:

Extras can be divided into: those who don't follow the group and those who follow the group.

Whether it is a group or not, the scope of work of the extras is similar, mainly acting as the background of the protagonist. For example, actors who are busboys, diners and passers-by in restaurants can generally be normal, and extras generally do not need acting skills. Usually there is no personal shot and no lines in filming. If you need to be promoted to a personal shot and lines, you need to continue to study and learn, and upgrade to an actor who is not just a special guest.

The difference between paying no attention to group extras and paying attention to 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, places like Beijing and Hengdian have 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 80- 120 yuan/day.

3. If you want to be an extra actor in Beijing, you have to have certain channels to receive plays.

The place where Beijing can be an extra actor is 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 to receive plays and announcements. Generally, it is deceptive to recruit people under the banner of these two bases, especially in Huairou, where scammers are concentrated, and many newcomers are deceived to Huairou!

At present, Beijing runners mainly rely on their own channels and contacts to find a drama every day:

Actors in Beijing mainly rely on the assistant director, group leader and group leader's filming notice. They mainly prepare actors for the cast. They have specific employment notices for filming, and also have resources for actors in the circle. They will announce the shooting information in the circle every day according to the shooting process and employment needs of the crew. As an actor, basically every day through their own channels and channels to receive filming notice!

The film crew-team leader-extras

Regular crews recruit extras, mainly to find local league leaders, and then the league leaders send notices to recruit extras through their own resource channels! Kaga always asks the team leader to get the notice every day. The Beijing crew recruits extras, usually tomorrow. Today, I arranged for the team leader or deputy director to recruit them. Basically, I get paid every day and go home after filming.

If you want to be an extra actor in Beijing, you must have certain economic conditions and solve the problem of food and shelter by yourself.

Whether you run a group performance or an actor takes the first step to solve the accommodation problem, this industry is not like going to work in any company factory. No company will provide you with full-time and accommodation! It's the same in Beijing or Hengdian. They all rent their own houses, and then go to the theater to receive plays every day. Strictly speaking, running an actor is a personal part-time behavior, and there is no such thing as full-time!

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, real actors, even those who have been running for decades, rent their own houses. Before you really get a crew and group, there is no crew to cover and recruit. 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 market price of group performances is 80- 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!

If you have and understand the basic conditions for being an extra actor in Beijing, then you can come to Beijing as an extra actor. If not, I suggest you don't come in a hurry yet.

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

First, you have friends and relatives. Generally, no one and a stranger with no purpose will take you in. 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".

Second, I have channels to receive opera notices (such as the notice group of 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. )

Third, I have the resources to take over the drama platform. 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.

If your Beijing runner has not received the channel and method of movie preview, please contact us, tel: ~ ~ * Gong /zh...*No.: vial human resources studio (Beijing provides actors professionally and provides filming announcement information service).
