Do I have to pay to work in China Film and Television Base? It just arrived yesterday and handed in 1000. Am I being cheated?

According to the provisions of the Labor Contract Law, the employer shall not detain the employee's certificate and collect the deposit or security deposit.

If the base charges you 1000 yuan, it is illegal and you can refuse.

If it has been paid, you can ask for a refund and complain to the competent labor department if necessary.
