Where do the real cast and group actors usually recruit?

Being a walk-on actor in Beijing is a headache for many newcomers. How to be a follow-up actor, what conditions are needed for being a follow-up actor, and where to get through the drama of the follow-up actor. Many people come to Beijing blindly because they don't have a correct understanding and understanding of the profession of follow-up actor, which eventually leads to many detours or wrong paths. Small bottle human resources studio-Beijing has been engaged in film and television actors and casting casing for a long time. Today, let's talk about what conditions Beijing actors need to be a walk-on to be a group actor, and what channels to solve their own problems.

first, if you want to be a group actor, first of all, you should have a basic understanding of the cast and the group actor.

1. There is a short-term cooperative relationship between the crew and the actors in the group

A drama is a crew. The crew is like a company, but it is not a company. A crew is only 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. The project is dissolved after filming. The crew has a limited life span, which lasts for a year or two or as short as ten days. If you are lucky enough to be a group actor of a certain crew, but once the crew is finished, all the actors are equal to unemployment, and you have to find the next play through other channels and find a new crew.

2. About the role of the actors in the group

The actors in the group are to accompany the protagonist or the role used for the development of the story, to help others, do odd jobs or run errands, and do some unimportant work or play an insignificant role.

3. About how the crew can find a cast member

Usually, every crew prepares to shoot a play, a casting team will be formed. The casting team is mainly responsible for preparing the relevant actors, and the cast members 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 freelancers who are not employed by any company, and they are extras. Generally, the crew will not recruit the follow-up actors in the name of a certain film and television company, but find the relevant follow-up actors in the name of the play and the needs of the plot, so the film and television companies that recruit the follow-up actors on various online recruitment platforms are usually unreliable. More than 9% of the actors in the Beijing circle are in a state of no follow-up, and there will be no special actors from other places coming to Beijing to follow the group. Generally speaking, the local crew in Beijing will find follow-up actors, if there are more than 1-2 people, unless the crew is going to shoot in other places and it is not convenient to find actors in other places, it will be possible to find a large number of follow-up actors.

second, Beijing should be a group actor. What are its own conditions and salary?

1. What is the group of performers?

Group performers usually refer to the packed 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, they can act as group performers or some small characters, and play small roles such as followers, disciples and little maids.

2. What are the requirements for a group actor?

The so-called actor's own conditions basically refer to: personal image, educational background, professional performance level and personal film and television works.

The so-called self-qualification of being a group actor: Generally speaking, the group actor is at least qualified and above the group, which requires some experience in running operas, and there are usually some other requirements, such as a beautiful and handsome guy with a good image, whose height is usually 175cm+ for men and 165cm for women, or an actor with strong performance professional ability and some special talents, which is more likely to win the group opportunity. Generally speaking, the crew looking for actors in the follow-up group are all students who have graduated from professional colleges. They are highly professional and know how to play, and they can play various small roles in the crew. At the same time, they are more likely to receive opportunities to follow the group with certain shooting works and shooting experience.

3. What kind of resume information do you need about the group actors?

Many newcomers are Beijing walk-on actors, hoping to find a follow-up actor. However, the crew doesn't need everyone, but looks for suitable follow-up actors according to the plot and budget. At the same time, it doesn't choose people out of thin air, but selects actors through resumes, selects actors who meet the needs of the plot, chooses actors with good professionalism and conditions, and chooses the best.

usually, the main resume information of the actors who sign up for the group is: casting+ self-introduction video+ppt personal profile of the actors. If you want to win the opportunity to join the group, you must first rely on your own resume information to win it. The crew spends money to find actors, which is based on the resume information. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a good resume information, and it is a professional actor's information. The crew can judge your professionalism and experience as an actor by looking at your professional information.

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

Usually, according to the plot, the crew looks for actors in the follow-up group, ranging from three to five days, half a month, to one or two months, three or four months. Some of them sign contracts, while others don't. For short-term follow-up, they usually get paid by the day, while for long-term follow-up, they usually get paid by the month. At present, the cost of accompanying actors in Beijing market is about 3,-7, yuan/month, mainly depending on personal conditions and abilities. During the accompanying period, they usually stay in hotels with the crew, and all expenses during the accompanying period are borne by the crew.

Conclusion: Usually, the main character and the main actor will run through the whole drama, and they will usually join the group from the beginning. The main character and the main actor are usually set when the crew is preparing to build the group, and they will be found in the circle according to the requirements of the characters, and then auditioned and selected to join the group. Other actors who are not the main line and group are usually arranged to find them after they are turned on. Generally, the deputy director of the casting team of the crew will find special actors or mass actors 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, local crews filming in Beijing and Hengdian usually don't look for extras from other groups. If they use extras, they will directly look for local group leaders.

third, about Beijing walk-on as a group actor, through what channels.

1. The actors in the follow-up group want to take over the play. First of all, they should understand the mode of finding the actors in the follow-up group.

With regard to the preparation of cast members, the main characters and main characters are generally decided by the general director and producer, while 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 team of the crew, or through the group leader, actor agent or local casting studio. For example, in Beijing, many group leaders in the film and television circle, actors' agents and casting casing studios or film and television actors studio specialize in docking the crew. If the crew needs actors, they usually send orders directly to these studios, and the studios will arrange group leaders, actors' agents or team leaders to find actors.

The usual mode for the crew to find a follower: the crew-casting team (group leader or agent)-follower

At present, the main ways for Beijing walk-on to be a follower are:

(1) investing in the group through hotels. Usually, the cast members will choose hotels. In Beijing, there are several famous cast members who set up groups to prepare hotels, such as Sun Palace Hotel, Yunhong Hotel, Confused Hotel, Gone with the Wind Home Hotel, Shangkangcheng Apartment, and Huafu Guest House in Bayi Factory, which are all the places that the "actors" pay close attention to. If you have a good resume in your hand, you can take it to sweep the hotel and try your luck to win some roles and group opportunities.

(2), through the circle of actors. At present, the most common way for Beijing running actors to receive plays is to obtain the information of employment notices of various cast members through the actors' notice groups in the circle. The actors' notice groups in the circle collect the notices of various casting studio heads, actors' agents and deputy directors in the circle, and actors can find the notices of receiving plays according to their own conditions every day.

(3), through the circle of acquaintances. Generally speaking, if someone has been an actor for a long time, he will have certain channels to receive the play, such as: the announcement group of actors in the circle, the group leader he knows, the actor agent or professional director, etc. If he comes into contact with the needs of group employment, he will give priority to acquaintances or actors introduced by acquaintances.

(3), through the casing studio in the circle. There are at least dozens of professional casting casing studios in Beijing film and television circle, which specialize in docking the cast list. Usually, 8% of the crew in the circle use casing studio to find actors. 9% of the actors dig up the daily employment notices 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 tap the notices of the group leaders, actors' agents, deputy directors and others of these studios every day.

If you are an actor with a training background or certain shooting experience and works.

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

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

usually, when a crew looks for a group of actors, they will give priority to the actors who specialize in performing in regular classes.

If you don't come from a regular class and want to be a group actor, I suggest you try to run a group performance first. After all, if you don't know anything, it's hard to get the opportunity to join the group of actors directly. We can explore some channels for group performances, first run the group performances and understand the mode of running the drama. Usually, the crew uses group actors, and the candidates are at least one qualified group actor. They have experience in running the drama, know the crew and are easy to manage.

I saw many people say that they liked performing since childhood, but they were willing to endure hardships and wanted to join the group.

But these are not advantages. The crew must be able to act if they are looking for a group of actors.

A group 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, it is the basic condition for an actor to endure hardship.

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

fourth, regarding Beijing walk-on as a follower, are there any regular film and television actors?

When I meet many newcomers as actors in Beijing, I always think that the crew is a permanent organization, or that there is a permanent crew preparation office, and even more naively think that there is a film and television company to recruit actors. When Beijing is thinking about the newcomers with the actors, it must be remembered that you should never look for any film and television companies on the Internet, or believe that industrial and commercial registration is true, or that official website is true. 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 actors used for regular crew shooting will not be recruited through any film and television company, nor will they be recruited 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 the company's operation is to make money. If you know that there is no profit and you lose money, there will be no boss of the film and television company 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 crews to film and earn labor fees, and then after excluding the monthly salary for actors, the remaining profits will be given to the company. (2) About the value that extras/group actors can create. Judging from the current actor labor market, the crew employs people, and the daily labor cost for a group performance is 9-12 yuan. If a person's ability is only enough for group performance, plus some chores, he can create a maximum value of 4, yuan a month. Generally, the market cost for group actors is about 3,-7, yuan a month. Usually, the crew chooses actors with a group level of (5,-7, yuan) or has. (3) Whether the value created by extras/group actors can bring profits to the company. If a company recruits a full-time employee, according to the current labor law, a full-time employee company must pay five insurances. According to the minimum wage standard in Beijing, the company should at least help employees pay more than 7 yuan every month, and at the same time exclude the monthly salary for actors. Besides, the employment of actors is timely, and the problem of food and accommodation has to be managed, while the value created by extras/group actors is (3,5-7,) yuan/month.

Therefore, there will be no regular film and television companies to recruit extras/group actors. As for why there are so many online film and television companies to recruit extras/group actors, it is obvious 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 recruit actors with groups. Basically, all of them will let you pay in various names. The film and television media companies that recruit actors with groups online basically fool the actors to pay, 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 be an actor in a group, first of all, you should know what the crew is, what conditions you need to be an actor in a group, and through what channels you can find a play to join the group.

In addition, the crew is like a company, but it is not a company. It is not always possible to work after being hired. The crew's long months and short ten days will end. If you are lucky enough to be a group actor of a certain crew, but once the crew is finished, you will lose your job, and you will have to re-engage in the new crew through your own channels and connections. If your Beijing runner doesn't have the channel and access to receive the opera notice, you can find: Small Bottle Human Resources Studio.
