Go to Hengdian local police station to apply for temporary residence permit. You can apply for an actor's license only if you have a temporary residence permit. Then take the temporary residence permit and two one-inch photos to the Hengdian extras guild in Hengdian Film and Television Industry Experimental Zone (opposite Huaxia Cultural Park). The extras' union will help you input your information into the computer, and when a crew needs to perform collectively, the union will contact you by SMS.
20 13 "investigation on the living conditions of mass actors in China and countermeasures" shows that 90% of mass actors in China have high school education or below, of which 82% have junior high school education or below, and many young mass actors have come out to make a living before graduation.
Many recruitment notices can almost see such a prompt: recruiting extras, without any age, education, household registration restrictions, inexperienced, take your luggage and come directly to the film and television base, as long as you have a strong desire to perform.
The recruitment requirements of "three noes" and the enviable working style make the industry of extras attract many young people. However, it is shocking that the market of extras is not standardized and it is difficult to defend rights because of exploitation.
Many people in the industry and experts believe that in order to protect the interests of extras, an extras association can be established to play a similar role as an employment agency.
This can not only reduce the transaction cost between the crew and the extras, but also bring the extras into the guild through organizational strength and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the extras. Now I hope that more film and television institutions and film and television management departments will strictly check and pay attention to it. Many extras are swift horses.
Extended data
In Shanghai, ordinary extras earn about 150 yuan for 8 hours/day. If they work overtime, 200 yuan gets 150 yuan for one day. For many people, although one day 150 yuan is a very low reward, many extras think it is acceptable.
Because they love "acting", even if this "acting" just flashes in front of the camera, they still think it's worth it. Some extras, if they are new to acting, are happy as long as they can participate in filming and don't care about money.
According to the regulations, extras usually work 8 hours a day, and the crew is responsible for the extras' three meals a day. However, due to the need of shooting, many extras need to add blood bags, and when they get wet, the crew will give 10 yuan -30 yuan a red envelope.
If the extras reach the "special" level, the income will naturally be higher. The so-called "special actor" is a mass actor with lines and shots in the play. If a special actor can get hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, it means that he (she) really has a "play", that is, he (she) can say a few lines or show his face in the play. This depends on the opportunity and the recommendation of insiders.
