What is the group day like?

In addition to the glamorous stars on the stage and in TV dramas, there are such a group of people behind the glamour.

I'm a passer-by. The release of 20 15 is a movie focusing on Hengdian extras. These young people came to Hengdian with their love for film and television, and they became "drifters". Most of them are untrained, but they just wander around in various crews for their "dreams". But what is the reality?

I came across some information about part-time group performances and asked my sister with a grain of salt. Before that, she had been to such a part-time job once. When she was talking about the scene of the crew, she talked about a popular flower sitting next to her on the phone during the break. I excitedly pulled her and said, I also want to go! ! !

Sometimes, I also watch some shots taken by the crew, which is very interesting. When the stars are filming, the atmosphere is relaxed, and laughter is the adjustment of work. With this expectation, we signed up for the weekend notice.

The part-time information released is generally as follows: generally, write the title or starring role of the play, the time and place of assembly, the content of shooting, and the clothing requirements. Of course, the star who wrote the starring role may not be visible at the shooting scene. It's all luck.

Early the next morning, we quickly packed our things and went to the designated subway station as required, where there would be a team leader waiting. The release and salary of part-time information is the team leader, which is equivalent to the outsourcing role of the crew. Which groups do the crew need to contact to perform? They are responsible for finding people, bringing people and paying money, and sometimes they also play a small role.

It's a little late to go out. When we crossed the street, we saw a group of people start to move. We ran up, followed the team and walked for a few minutes. We saw three buses parked by the roadside, and the people in front got on the bus one after another. We followed the crowd on the third bus. Maybe there are too many people signing up today, and the third car is full. Judging from the appearance of one of the team leaders, there are many people, all of whom have got off.

When getting off the bus, the team leader asked us to line up in two rows on the roadside, with boys in the back and girls in front. Then, he discussed with the other two team leaders that there were many people and 25 was enough. Say that finish, he glanced at the team, began to point people, point to get on the bus. Just washed our hair and painted our makeup. We were chosen by luck. Why are you suddenly nervous? )

After selecting for a while, everyone got on the bus, leaving some people who were not selected to stand by and watch the road. I saw what the tour guide said when he got off the bus, and the bus started. Sitting on the bus, my sister asked me if I felt trafficked. I nodded heavily.

About half an hour later, the bus stopped at a truck parking lot and we got off. All we see are tall containers, container truck yards in the suburbs of the city, or maybe a movie studio full of stars.

The team leader took us to an open space. Along the way, we saw many group performances, or squatting to eat instant noodles, or sitting and playing with mobile phones. It was already noon when we arrived. Many people were squatting on the side of the road with instant noodles and bread, and my heart suddenly felt sad. Passing by several RVs, a tour leader pointed out that this is the nanny car of the star.

We lined up in the open space, and the team leader began to count the number of people and build a group to facilitate management. So, next, it is a long rest in place-endless waiting.

Generally speaking, if you do a group performance, you must arrive at the shooting scene earlier than the crew. At this time, the crew was still in the last shooting location. About two hours later, the team leader called again and then rested in place.

I heard someone say that the cast has arrived.

I thought to myself, I will probably see the filming scenes and stars soon!

It's already on the edge of the suburbs, not far from highways and train tracks. Abandoned cars and cars are piled up on one side. There are rows of red containers, indicating that there are shooting scenes here. I don't believe it at all.

I'll talk to the team leader.

"It's so messy here, so there will be filming."

"Although the appearance is so messy, there is actually everything inside."

The team leader and I are very talkative. In short, three points is really seven points off. I can guess half. The crew rented a venue here and set up a studio. Prop group can do anything. They can build a castle in front of you, but it's just a piece of paper.

It was getting dark, and at night, a man came up to me, and the leader told everyone to stand still. The man picked a few men and women and took them away. I tried to explore the shooting location with my eyes, but they turned several containers and disappeared in front of me.

A team leader waved in front of us and said to my sister, "You are so beautiful that you can be a prospect." The money at the front desk is much higher than the money for the group performance. "

Sister shook her head and waved her hand and refused.

I asked him, what are the future requirements?

He said that the prospect only requires height.

The 1.7-meter-tall girl really meets this requirement, neither blocking the light of the protagonist, but also showing her face in front of the camera. The tour leaders are eager to grab a "front desk" resource, and the salary of the "front desk" is higher than that of ordinary group performances. Generally speaking, there is a lot of demand for the front desk, but few meet the requirements.

One afternoon, three group leaders came to ask my sister if she had considered making a future.

Time swings to 5 pm, and the sun is about to set. We performers are still hanging around the container. Until several team leaders came, counting the heads and leading the team. My sister and I were in the third batch of allowed teams and turned into the door where everyone disappeared just now. There is a huge studio, littered with wooden boxes, lamps, lampstands and hospital beds. ...

This is a TV drama shooting scene about the hospital. We were taken to the door of the hospital, with two headlights on our heads, a children's hospital with a warm layout, and children's actors, wearing hospital gowns in the play, timidly followed our mother.

Photographs are not allowed at the shooting site.

Even if we come in, it's still an endless wait. There are already "patients" of all ages, including aunts and grandfathers in their fifties and sixties and young couples in their early twenties. Photographing is not allowed here, and it is found that not only the group performance is scolded, but also the corresponding team leader will be scolded, which will damage the reputation of the team leader.

The team leader at the scene always pays attention to everyone. Anyone who takes out his mobile phone to take a photo and catches a deleted photo will shout to everyone present, don't make any noise and don't take pictures!

Supporting actors in white doctor's clothes and nurse's clothes shuttled between them, painting delicate makeup and wearing neat and warm clothes. They can be photographed, but not named. There are too many supporting roles, and many students from drama school will come out to run a walk-on.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd. A star passed by, wearing a mask and covering it up. There are also two assistants to protect.

The uncle who didn't see the appearance was a little dissatisfied. He said sourly, it's not a first-line brand, so why cover your face so tightly?

Two mothers sat together waiting for the performance. A 5-year-old boy and a little girl are playing. One of the mothers held a little girl in her arms.

"How much did you eat today?"

"He passed a pass today, which is very good." The mother holding the girl looked smug. "I took a photo with XXX last time and praised him for his good performance."

"Do you just bring him every weekend?"

"Yes, I just wanted him to exercise, but now there are quite a few people looking for him."

"Then maybe you will become a child star in the future."

It's 7 o'clock in the evening, and the agreed box lunch for the crew hasn't arrived yet. The unbearable group performance has been asked over and over again. The team leader said we can't eat until it's over.

7:30 ? Someone in the group sent a message saying that I had just eaten a box lunch, and that chicken leg was delicious.

The group leader was very angry, pulling people to ask who had just eaten the box lunch, which was for the director, and we haven't put the meal in the group performance yet!

Taking advantage of this incident, the team leader repeatedly stressed that the box lunch of the group performance was issued after the end!

It's past 8: 00, and we're still waiting on the set. Next to the escalator is the director's monitor. I went around behind him. On the monitor, a supporting actress was lying in bed, crying over and over again. There are frowning directors here and actors with pear blossoms and rain there.

I'm still a group performance without a beat. After 9: 001minute, ask when the group performance will end. The children nestled in their mother's arms and fell asleep. In fact, there is no role for them, but the group performance has no right to free activities.

The team leader is also very helpless, complaining that this crew is the most procrastinating. Comfort everyone again, almost.

When someone started cleaning the lamp holder and the prop box, we could finally go. Today's group performance experience is over. I have been waiting all afternoon.

In the dark, we lined up with cell phone lights and led a warm lunch box. In the car, the tour leader counted the number of people and paid the fee tomorrow.

The team leader said in the car that Ajie, a boy, was so immoral that he asked two college students to hold down their ID cards and returned 200 yuan to others. How can he do business like this? It's too dark.

The leader of the crew is responsible for helping the crew find a group to perform. Such leaders usually graduate from high school or junior college. The requirements are not too high, and who is competing for more resources.

After getting off the bus, our whole family sat together with a box lunch and walked past some familiar faces in twos and threes. We counted how many times we met the main characters today. In fact, most people who come to do group performances experience life like me, watch stars and earn some pocket money. After all, this is not a hengdian, and there is no corner to float out.

"The nurse played the last one in the evening quite well."

"Will you come again next time?"

"No."
