Just listening to Ding Xu can already feel the bitterness of the extras. Physical fatigue is only part of it, and mental contempt is the most tormenting thing.

"Hey, the prospects for running are not much better than the extras in the week I first came to Hengdian to experience. Although the role of the extras in the prospects is not important, it basically takes a long time to prepare every day, such as getting up to make up at two or three o'clock, etc."

"Although three or four hundred a day is much higher than a year ago, I have gradually learned the truth behind the extras' salary. Even the same scene under the same shot will happen at different prices."

"The reason is very simple. It depends on whether you were selected through a legitimate channel or arranged in through the back door!"

"You may get 200 for the same job, and they can get 500. At first, they were angry, but later they got used to it."

Ding Xu nodded and added to the camera: "Did you hear me, brother? Didn't Brother Xu talk nonsense?"

"The key is that the five hundred is not the price that the crew initially allocated to the extras, but the price that the assistant director and others deducted layer by layer."

"At that time, the Hengdian Guild had not yet formed such regulatory efforts as it is now, and the connection between the extras and crew was completed through some private studios."

"For example, when a crew comes to Hengdian to film, the studio often has a private agreement with the relevant person in charge of the crew, basically the deputy director, to contract the casting task to himself and promise to give him certain benefits."

"I once saw a female extra on the spot who was asked to perform a nude scene with a larger scale. At first, she was notified that she just showed her back and promised to give her two hundred. When the show was officially started, she found that it was not that simple, and she expressed dissatisfaction on the spot."

"The director was also very angry and scolded that you wouldn't act in a scene for 2,000 yuan?"

Fat Tiger was shocked, you are so dark!

Only two hundred people can I give my back?

I want as much as I do!

"All all the money is actually earned by the studio and the assistant director, and there are also cases where the crew arrears of wages. Many extras can't even afford the ticket to go home for the New Year. The friend who came with me chose to return to his hometown at this time and continue to live a stable life from 9 to 5."

"Even now, the phenomenon of deduction cannot be really killed. Each extra must pay taxes every day. Regularly speaking, 100 yuan per day and 10 yuan will be deducted. The timeout is considered overtime, and 10% of the total will be deducted."

"The extras here have a so-called salary list. A strange phenomenon is that when the guild or deputy director is selecting actors, if you see that you have been one or two thousand days before, he will give you the same price when he hires you."

"But if you had three or five hundred before, you would never give a penny more this time. The more you earn, it depends on how much you have."

Maybe he felt that he had said it a little too much, so the old demon quickly asked for a supplement and said, "Of course it's still good to have a union here, so that the extras can have more guarantees, and at least the wage arrears are less and less, right?"

Fat Tiger and Lao Zhang looked at each other, and they couldn't say a lot. Xiangshan is still in the studio's management model, and many directors even moved to the mountain to film.

For extras, they are more willing to shoot in Hengdian, which is more secure. To put it bluntly, the people who go to Xiangshan are equivalent to entering a small pirate ship?

"After being a promising extra for a while, I unknowingly found that even if I didn't go to the crew to send information, someone would come to me to act on his own initiative?"

"Comment on you?"
