Perhaps in this world, the "star" profession is the most profitable.
These stars may easily earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the time they need to invest in a movie.
For many celebrities, earning millions a day or hundreds of millions a month doesn't seem to matter that much.
Therefore, this high salary makes many people have the dream of becoming a "star" in their hearts, and for most ordinary people, Hengdian provides a great opportunity.
As a result, a large number of audiences come here every year for group performances, and they all dream of one day when the "pie" will come down on their heads, making them a shining star with a monthly income of millions.
However, due to the continuous increase in the number of such people, there are about 200,000 extras in Hengdian every year, and now Hengdian is full of beautiful women and a large number of single men.
You have to understand that becoming a star is never easy, and given that Hengdian has so many group performances, does everyone have a chance to stand out and realize their "star dream"?
What is the daily life of the Hengdian group performance?
For many, ensemble acting may seem like a relatively easy career.
It's easy and efficient, just a few seconds away from the country, and your salary will arrive on time.
In addition to this, the group performers also provide room and board, and the salary is paid on a daily basis, which seems to bring them many benefits.
The most critical point is that in the process of doing tricks, he may attract the attention of a certain director, and thus become the next Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying.
So, from that perspective, group acting seems like a pretty good career choice, and it's no wonder that so many people huddle together and are willing to join.
However, is this really the case with the real Hengdian group performance?
No, the cruelty of the real-life Hengdian group performance may make you feel frightened!
In the current era, there are more people who aspire to fame, and as a result, the number of opponents in the same position continues to rise.
Not all of the roles they compete for are attractive, and some may just be passers-by in the audience for dozens of episodes of the TV series.
Despite this, this group of people is still working tirelessly to obtain such an opportunity.
In the group performance activities in Hengdian, they usually tidy themselves up at three or four o'clock in the morning, and then gather with other extras to ask which crew will be filming in ** today.
Therefore, they usually wake up around one or two o'clock, especially girls, who dress themselves up so that they are neither too ostentatious nor too ordinary.
They never dare to miss a day, and if they don't go for a day, it's as if they have lost millions of opportunities.
When the crew selects actors, it is first necessary to select about half of the actors according to the regulations, and these actors may be outstanding in appearance or have the right body proportions, and can be used as stuntmen and so on.
The rest of the opportunity is entirely up to the group of them to take the initiative, one after the other to introduce themselves, or like handing a cigarette.
More often than not, girls may have more advantages in this area.
Their appearance is not bad, and with a few sweet words, they can easily get closer to them, and they may also be selected by the director.
The selected extras, after completing the registration of information, will wait for the main actors to appear in the crew, and some may have to wait all day to see their own shots.
It is relatively easy for pedestrians to play this role, but some people are assigned to play the role of "dead people", which is undoubtedly a headache.
First of all, the body is covered with blood and mud that is difficult to remove, and then you need to lie there quietly without doing anything
If you meet a protagonist who is doing well, you may just need to take a break; But if you encounter a protagonist who is slightly lacking in acting, you may sometimes need to lie down all day and stay motionless.
After a long day of hard work, the final salary is only a few tens of yuan, and in better cases, this amount may even exceed a hundred yuan.
For example, in TV dramas, characters like the maid who is beaten and scolded may have a higher salary, but in Hengdian, such roles are very popular, attracting many young and fashionable beauties to compete for.
There are also scenes of physical contact with the actors, or scenes of kissing, and some episodes may even require the actors to be naked**.
I thought that under such strict conditions, no one would want to participate in a performance for such a small amount of money, but in fact, as long as the director released such information, that group of young people would rush to be the first.
Among the residents of Hengdian, beautiful women are the most common. Although many people think that they have certain advantages in terms of appearance and figure, they actually don't feel anything special here.
In Hengdian, in addition to those energetic young people, there are also those beautiful women who are dressed up very gorgeously; There are also some men who are outside, who are outside, they mostly come for money, they go to make money, they are not working for their own lives, but for others to earn money. There are also people who are lazily lying on the ground, and they usually already have a deep understanding of the place, but only superficially.
If the crew takes a fancy to me, leave; If you're not satisfied, wait here.
If life is so difficult for a group performer, why do so many people choose to participate every year? Why at this time, people will focus on the film and television shooting base - Hengdian. What is the attraction of Hengdian that is enough to attract such a large number of people?
Why do so many people choose to become ensembles?
In the face of such a fierce competitive environment, many have advised them:
It was so difficult to find a job offer in this place, and I thought it would be better to go back and continue working. ”
Those who stayed in Hengdian said so:
I'm waiting here for an opportunity, and maybe if I wait a little longer, I'll have a chance to make a comeback with a movie! ”
Others feel that they have stayed in Hengdian for too long and are not sure what kind of career they will pursue when they return.
For this group of wanderers, we, as bystanders, may think that this is just "messing around", and with such free time, it is better to choose a stable career.
However, their thoughts are not like this, and they still dream of one day becoming stars like Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying, whose monthly income can reach tens of millions.
In the group performances that Hengdian participated in, some of them are young people who have just entered the society, they are full of expectations for the future, and firmly believe that they have the ability to achieve brilliant achievements in the film and television industry.
There are also people who are single and lazy who are dissatisfied with the pressure of work from the outside world, but here they feel very free, they have the opportunity to sit on the ground and wait for the right moment, start working as soon as they have the opportunity, and keep waiting if they can't find a job.
It is for this reason that Hengdian attracts a large number of tourists every year, who come to this place with dreams of "stardom".
However, the likelihood of becoming a star is very low, it is like an unattainable dream, becoming an actor is not an easy task, and not everyone has the opportunity to become a star.
If you're really passionate about it, then you can improve your skills first and join when your basic abilities are solid, isn't it too late?
Summary: In this world, it is impossible for so many good things to fall from the sky, and it is impossible for everyone to be the only "lucky one".
Therefore, instead of waiting for this unknown future, it is better to keep your feet on the ground and look for a job and cherish every moment of the present.
