Where do real cast members and group actors usually recruit people?

As a walk-on actor in Beijing, how to be a good follow-up actor, what conditions are needed to be a good follow-up actor, and where the follow-up actor's career path is a headache for many newcomers. Many people come to Beijing blindly because they don't have a correct understanding and understanding of the career of follow-up actors, and eventually they take many detours or wrong roads. Small bottle human resources studio-Beijing has long been engaged in film and television actors and casting shells. Today, let's talk about what conditions Beijing actors need to be a walk-on, and what channels are available to solve their own problems.

First, if you want to be a troupe actor, you must first have a basic understanding of the crew and troupe actors.

1. The crew and the actors in the same group have a short-term cooperative relationship.

A drama has a crew, and the crew is like a company, but it is not a company. A crew is just a temporary project of the production company. The crew members are basically temporary personnel from all directions, and the actors in the group are also temporary personnel. After the project is completed, it will be dissolved. The life span of the crew is limited, ranging from one or two years to ten days. If you are lucky enough to be a star actor in a certain crew, but once the crew is finished, all the actors are unemployed, you have to find the next play and a new crew through other channels.

2. About the role of group actors

Joining an actor is to set off the protagonist or the role used in the development of the story, help others, do chores or run errands, do some unimportant work or play an insignificant role.

3. How does the crew find the actors?

Usually, when each crew is ready to shoot a play, a casting team will be set up. The casting team is mainly responsible for preparing relevant actors. The actors in the group are usually arranged by the deputy director, or distributed to some casting studios in the circle, or through the group leaders and actors' agents in the circle.

Conclusion: The follow-up actors are all freelancers, not employed by any company, but just extras. Generally, the crew will not recruit the follow-up actors in the name of the film and television company, but find the relevant follow-up actors by the name and plot of the play, so the film and television companies that recruit the follow-up actors on various online recruitment platforms are usually unreliable. More than 90% of the actors in Beijing circle have no follow-up status, and no special actors from other places will come to Beijing to join the group. Generally speaking, the local crew in Beijing will find a follow-up actor, which will probably be 10-20 people. Unless the crew is going to shoot in other places, it is not convenient to find actors in other places, it is possible to find a large number of follow-up actors.

Second, as a group actor, what are Beijing's own conditions and salary?

1. What group of actors are there?

Group actors usually refer to the packaging group of special/small and medium-sized special actors. According to the requirements of the plot, the crew specially finds some people with better conditions to join the group, and if necessary, acts as a group actor or some small roles, playing small roles such as followers, apprentices and little maids.

2. What are the self-conditions of a group actor?

The so-called actor's own conditions basically refer to: personal image, education, performance professionalism and personal film and television works.

The so-called conditions for being a group actor: Generally speaking, a group actor is at least qualified, and a group actor or above needs to have some experience in running operas. There are usually other requirements, such as a handsome guy with a good image, whose height is usually 65,438+075 cm+for men and 65,438+065 cm for women, or an actor with strong professional performance ability and some special talents, who is more likely to win group opportunities. Generally speaking, the crew in the follow-up group to find actors are students who graduated from professional colleges. They are very professional, good at playing, and can play various small roles in the crew. At the same time, it is easier to get the opportunity to join the group with certain shooting works and shooting experience.

3. What kind of resume materials do the actors in the group need?

Many newcomers in Beijing want to be follow-up actors, but the crew does not want to satisfy everyone, but to find suitable follow-up actors according to the plot and budget. At the same time, they don't choose people out of thin air, but choose actors who meet the needs of the plot, choose actors with good professionalism and good conditions, and choose the best.

Usually, the main resume information of the actors in the group is: casting+self-introduction video+ppt personal introduction of the actors. If you want to win the opportunity to join the group, you must first rely on your resume information to win it. The crew spent money looking for actors based on resume information. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare resume information, and it is the information of professional actors. The crew can judge your professionalism and operational experience as an actor by looking at the professionalism of your materials.

4. About the length and salary of the actors in the group.

Usually, the crew will find actors with the group according to the plot, ranging from three to five days to half a month, from one to two months to three or four months. Some of them sign the contract, others don't. In the short run, they usually get paid by the day after shooting with the group, and in the long run, they usually get paid by the month. At present, the cost of accompanying performance in Beijing market is about 3000-7000 yuan/month, mainly depending on personal conditions and abilities. During the accompanying period, they usually stay in the hotel with the crew, and all the expenses during the accompanying period are borne by the crew.

Conclusion: Usually, the leading role and main role actors will run through the whole play, and they usually follow the group from the beginning. The leading role and main role actors are usually decided when the crew is ready to build a group. They will look for them in the circle according to the requirements of the role, then audition and choose to join the group. Other actors who are not the main line and group are usually arranged to find them after turning on the phone. Generally, the deputy director of the casting group of the crew will look for special actors or extras one after another. Generally speaking, the crew is looking for extras from other places, mainly because it is not convenient to find extras from other places. For example, the crew filming in Beijing and Hengdian will not find extras from other groups. If they use extras, they will go directly to the local league leaders.

3. What channels do you use to be a group actor in Beijing?

1. The actors in the follow-up group must first understand the mode of the crew to find the actors in the follow-up group.

Regarding the preparation of the cast, the main characters and roles are generally decided by the general director and producer, and other small and medium-sized actors, special actors and group actors are arranged by the deputy director. If a crew needs to find a group of actors, it will usually be found by the deputy director of the casting group of the crew, or through the team leader, actor agent or local casting studio. For example, in Beijing, many film and television circle leaders, actors' agents and casting studio or film and television actors studio specialize in docking crews. If the crew needs actors, they will usually send orders directly to these studios, and the studios will arrange the team leader, actor agent or team leader to find the actors.

Usually, the crew looks for actors to accompany the group: crew-casting team (leader or agent)-actors to accompany the group.

""At present, Beijing's walk-on is the main channel for actors to receive plays:

(1) Run investment promotion materials through the hotel. Usually, cast members will choose hotels. In Beijing, several famous cast members set up groups to prepare hotels, such as Sun Palace Hotel, Yun Hong Hotel, Confused Hotel, Gone with the Wind House Hotel, Shangkangcheng Apartment, and Washington Guest House of Bayi Factory, all of which are closely watched by the actors. If you have a good resume, you can take it to sweep the hotel, try your luck and get some roles and group opportunities.

(2) Through the circle of actors. At present, the most common way for Beijing runners to receive plays is to obtain the employment notice information of each cast member through the actor notification group in the circle. The actors' notice group in the circle collected the notices from the heads of casting studios, actors' agents and deputy directors in the circle, and actors can find the notice of receiving the play according to their own situation every day.

(3) Through the circle of acquaintances. Generally speaking, if someone has been engaged in the actor business for a long time, there are certain channels to receive the play, such as: the announcement group of the actors in the circle, the group leader he knows, the actor agent or the professional director. If you are exposed to the needs of group employment, you will give priority to the actors introduced by acquaintances or acquaintances.

(3), through the shed ring. There are at least dozens of professional casting sleeve studios in Beijing film and television circle, which specialize in docking the list of actors. Usually 80% of the crew in the circle use casing studios to find actors. 90% of the actors dig up the daily employment notice through the casing studio in the circle. At present, as a walk-on actor in Beijing, it is best to join some notice groups of casting casing studios, and then dig up the notices of the group leaders, actors' agents, deputy directors and others of these studios every day.

If you are a well-trained actor or an actor with certain shooting experience and works.

If you want to be a group actor, you can take your resume information to the crew to prepare a hotel and run a group to sweep the building.

Or tap the needs of group employees through their own channels and personal connections.

Usually, when the crew is looking for a group of actors, they will give priority to the actors who specialize in performances in regular classes.

If you don't come from a regular school and want to be a group actor, I suggest you try to hold a group performance first. After all, if you don't know anything, it is difficult to have the opportunity to join the group of actors directly. You can explore some channels of group performance, first run group performance and understand the mode of running drama. Usually the crew uses a group of actors, and the candidate is at least one qualified group actor. They have experience in running dramas, know the crew and are easy to manage.

I have seen many people say that they like performing since childhood, but they are willing to endure hardships and want to work hard for the group.

But these are not advantages. The crew is looking for a group of actors, provided that they can act.

A troupe actor should not only be able to bear hardships, but also be able to act and have shooting experience.

Although acting is also very hard, suffering is the basic condition for actors.

Therefore, if you want to win the opportunity to join the league, you'd better have a certain performance major and shooting experience.

4. Regarding Beijing as a walk-on actor, are there any regular film and television actors?

I met many new actors in Beijing. I always thought that the crew was a permanent institution or a permanent crew preparation office, and even more naively thought that a film and television company was recruiting actors. When Beijing is thinking about new people with actors, it must be remembered that you should never look for any film and television company on the Internet, or believe that industrial and commercial registration is real or official website is real. Many film and television companies take photos of them with the stars, and even find some parents to take their children to learn piano and dance, so that laymen can see that it is true.

However, no matter how perfect the procedures of these film and television companies are, they are unreliable.

Why?

1, the regular crew shoots with a group of actors, not through any film and television company, nor in the name of a film and television company.

2. From the perspective of regular film and television companies, the company's business of recruiting full-time extras/group actors is at a loss.

The purpose of company management is to make money. If you know that there is no profit and you lose money, there will be no film company boss to recruit extras/group actors.

(1), about the purpose of film and television companies to recruit extras or group actors. If there is such a film and television company, the purpose must be to enable these actors to make money for their own company. The way to make money is to send actors to various film crews to film, earn labor fees, then deduct the monthly salary given to actors, and give the rest of the profits to the company. (2) About the value that extras/group actors can create. Judging from the current actors' labor market, the daily labor cost for a group performance is 90- 120 yuan. If a person only has the ability of group performance and some chores, he can create a value of up to 4000 yuan a month. Generally, the market cost of a group actor is about 3000-7000 yuan a month, and the crew usually finds a group (5000-7000 yuan). (3) Whether the value created by extras/group actors can bring profits to the company. If the company recruits full-time employees, according to the current labor law, the full-time employee company must pay five insurances. According to Beijing's minimum wage standard, the company should pay employees at least 700 yuan's salary every month, excluding the actor's monthly salary. In addition, actors are hired in time, and the problem of accommodation should be taken care of, and the value created by mass actors/group actors is (3500-7000) yuan/month.

Therefore, there will be no formal film and television companies to recruit extras/group actors. As for why so many online film and television companies recruit extras/group actors, it is clear at a glance that they are not regular film and television companies. There are many places on the internet that claim to be directly recruited by the Beijing crew, or film and television companies that take a group to recruit actors. Basically, you are asked to pay in various names. Film and television media companies that recruit actors with tour groups on the Internet basically trick actors into paying money, including training fees, accommodation fees, meals, photography fees, certificate fees, filing fees, management fees, clothing fees, security deposits and so on!

In short, if you want to become a troupe actor, you must first understand what a crew is, what conditions you need to become a troupe actor, and what channels you can find to join the troupe.

Also, the crew is like a company, but it is not a company. If hired, it can always work. The crew's long months and short ten days are over. If you are lucky enough to be a troupe member of a certain crew, but the crew is unemployed, you have to re-use your own channels and contacts to pick up the new crew's plays.

If your Beijing runner doesn't have the channels and channels to receive the opera notice, you can find a small bottle of human resources studio.
