Does Beijing often have a cast to recruit extras?

Beijing and Hengdian are the places with the most film crews. Actors are also the first choice in these two places.

However, regarding the recruitment of actors by the cast, Beijing currently relies mainly on its own channels and contacts to take over the show.

Extras are freelancers. If you have a reliable way to take the show, you may take the show every day. If you don't have access to the drama, you can't get the drama. Besides, there are many swindlers in Beijing.

Beijing is a place where many young people with actor dreams want to realize their dreams.

Every year, a large number of young people from other places come to Beijing to realize their "actor dream". Some of them come by themselves, and some are cheated.

In any case, the result is a difficult problem: where should I take the program?

Now, Beijing walk-on is no longer just waiting at the gate of Beijing Film Studio every day.

At present, as a walk-on actor in Beijing, you can't get the show by your own channels and contacts.

There is no special place for actors to take over the scene in Beijing, and there is no crew at the entrance of Beijing Film Factory to help people.

1, for newcomers who come to Beijing to run as actors.

Where would you go to find a cast or make a play?

Dao (1) squatted at the gate of the Beijing Film Factory, but went to find a figure. Where the crew went was important.

Methods (2) Find actors related to various recruitment platforms online, such as Fair, 58, Zhilian and so on.

Finally, I found that many companies that have interviewed actors have to pay money, and they are not official actors.

Why is this?

First, regular crews will not send online recruitment platforms to recruit actors.

Second, regular film and television media companies will not recruit walk-on actors, such as extras, group actors and so on.

Regular companies don't send information about recruiting actors online. Walk-on is a freelance job. No company can offer you a full-time position and then arrange for you to shoot with the crew every day. For example, if an extra actor takes over the drama of the cast in the circle, the market price is about 120- 150 yuan one day, which is equivalent to creating the maximum value of 150 yuan one day, which is only 4,500 yuan a month. If a company really recruits actors and hires you, how much profit can you bring to the company in a month? If you still need a company to cover for you and pay you, then this company will not lose money. Unless you don't pay a penny, someone will start such a company to make money. Therefore, there is no formal company in this line to recruit extras or group actors online. All kinds of film and television media companies that recruit actors online are basically deceptive or shell companies. You can try to verify it if you don't believe me.

Way (3) Wandering outside the Beijing Film and Television Base, in case a film crew is really short of people, I will call you.

However, this can't solve the problem of receiving plays. Beijing's walk-on basically works every day, looking for dramas every day, and many film and television bases are generally far away, and many go in to find tickets. Just in case, you can't go there and wait for the play every day. At present, it is known that only Hengdian Film and Television City in China has specialized human resources such as extras, special actors, martial arts actors and experienced technicians, field workers and handyman of various types of crews. At present, there is no special place for actors to receive plays in Beijing Film and Television Base.

2. For those newcomers who have been tricked into running as actors in Beijing.

Every year, many young people from other places are tricked into becoming actors in Beijing, and all kinds of media are reporting. I mainly saw some actor recruitment online, such as some film and television media companies, such as Fair, 58, Zhilian, and some forums, and then contacted the so-called "crew teacher" or "actor coordinator", thinking that I met a "good-hearted person" and went to Beijing to be an actor after being fooled. Some so-called "teachers" even ask people to reimburse their fares and come to Beijing, but they usually arrive suddenly when they arrive in Beijing. Then pay all kinds of fees. Anyway, when they arrive in Beijing, they can only pay money, and then they arrange people around the film and television base to "keep in captivity", which is also a common recruitment fraud in this circle.

So what channels and ways do Beijing runners have at present?

At present, in Beijing, the troupe, special actors and role actors mainly rely on their contacts and their own channels to take over the performances:

First, with friends and relatives, a person who has been running in the circle for a long time will definitely know the reliable deputy director, group leader, group leader and actor agent in the circle. They mainly prepare actors for the crew, and the crew will find important people first. They take orders every day with specific employment notices in their hands. 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, I basically answer it every day! If someone takes it, at least you have a lot of contacts.

Second, for those who have no friends or relatives, there are channels to receive the notice of the play (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 issued by the circle of friends)! Then slowly build your own contacts and channel resources.

Third, they have their own channels to receive plays, such as some platforms that formally engage in actor manpower, and some platforms in Beijing specialize in actor manpower, such as self-built film associations or actors associations, which are responsible for the docking between the crew and actors. They have special actor resources to receive the list of people employed by the crew, and then help find actors. Actors can make announcements through them every day.

But the most reliable thing is that they have some reliable deputy directors, group leaders and actors' agents. People who specialize in the industry of deputy director, group leader and actor agent will sort out their own actor resources, and then if they receive the list of actors, they will give priority to mass actor announcements in their own circles, so that their actor resources can take orders, which is not only convenient and fast, but also highly targeted.

These actors in Beijing inform the group that they will send out the notice of the main group performance, the notice of following the group, the notice of special guests and the notice of small and medium-sized actors every day. Actors can only report and receive plays in the fuselage according to their own conditions, which is also the most important way for Beijing actors to receive plays at present.

1) Actor type and group:

Group actors generally require graduation from professional colleges, and the general crew are looking for group actors with certain requirements. Generally speaking, you need some experience, at least for actors above the group level. The cost of organizing actors is about 3,000-5,000 yuan a month. There is the length of time with the group. Generally, you need to send professional actor information, cast list and ppt resume, and introduce yourself to the video.

For example:

2) Special types of actors.

Special actors generally belong to the extras that the crew needs to supplement temporarily according to the plot, and usually only play for one or two days.

Information required for registration: casting +ppt+ self-introduction video. Special guests with high general expenses need to arrange auditions.

For example:

3) Announcement of extras.

In places like Beijing and Hengdian, there are special studios and a large number of group leaders, and the crew uses group performances to shoot. Generally, the local team leader is asked, and the team leader sends a notice to find an extra actor. Generally speaking, they rarely find group extras, and unless they go to other places to film, there will be no group performances to recruit. Generally, the crew is looking for extras, and they will be filming tomorrow. Let the team leader look for them today.

The employment notice of regular extras generally has specific shooting time and specific expenses.

For example:

However, if you are new here and you are worried about being notified, the easiest way to tell the truth is to receive a notice with specific fees, such as how much it costs per day. Formal notice will always have specific notice. If it is a group interview, it depends on whether the interview address is in the hotel. Regular crews usually arrange interviews in hotel rooms for about ten days and a half. If it is not a hotel interview, pay attention, but it is not absolute.
