Recently, the reporter went deep into the Hengdian Film and Television Base to visit the life and work of the extras, revealing the hardships behind the film and television industry and the persistence of the group performers on their dreams.
Behind the prosperity of China's film and television industry, there is a special group of people who have worked hard silently - they are the extras in Hengdian. Hengdian, a place known as the "Hollywood of the East", attracts countless young people with acting dreams.
The road to group performances has not been easy
According to the reporter's understanding, these group performers get up early every day to wait in line for the scene, and sometimes they need to spend hours or even all day waiting in order to fight for a shot. On set, no matter how harsh the environment is, they have to persevere. Dressed in heavy costumes, they shoot every shot in the scorching heat or cold wind.
Xiao Li, a young group performer from Northeast China, told reporters: "I came to Hengdian to pursue my dream of acting. Even though it's hard work every day, every time I'm in front of the camera, I feel like I'm one step closer to my dream. He described the scenes of waking up early every day and waiting in line for filming, as well as those long, tedious waiting times.
Another ensemble, Xiao Zhang, shared her experience: "Sometimes we have to spend hours in the sun for a few seconds of footage. Although it is hard, every time I see my performance on the screen, the sense of accomplishment cannot be expressed in words. ”
In addition to the hardships of work, the group performers also face the pressure of life. Multi-person shared housing, small accommodation, and simple food are all their daily life.
The salary for group performances is usually only 10 yuan per hour. Their daily salary depends on the length of the day's shooting, which can reach 100 yuan in most cases, but is only about 70 yuan in general. It's worth noting that the real performance time is very short every day, and most of the time is spent waiting.
In the meantime, they can choose to take a break, play games, or continue to deepen their expertise. From this point of view, the 10 yuan per hour is also reasonable, because they still get paid even during breaks. During this time, many people will be immersed in a beautiful vision of their future life, and some even dream of becoming the next Wang Baoqiang.
More than 30,000 ensembles have gathered in Hengdian, and the number continues to grow. In such a competitive environment, it is difficult to stand out and become a star. There is no shortage of students from various prestigious schools in Hengdian, and many handsome men and women gather here with the dream of becoming famous in one fell swoop.
However, in this place where there are many beautiful women, beauty is not scarce, and it can even be said that there is a "flood of beauties". In order to fight for the opportunity to make a movie, some beauties do not hesitate to accept low-cost humiliation scenes, only 200 yuan per scene, such scenes are not uncommon in Hengdian, and many beauties are vying to try, hoping to use this as a springboard to become famous.
The phenomenon of group performances in Hengdian not only reveals the cruel truth of the film and television industry, but also shows the persistent pursuit of young people's dreams. This visit made the reporter deeply feel the hardships and persistence of the Hengdian group performers. They use their sweat and hard work to interpret the persistent pursuit of dreams. Although the road ahead is long and challenging, we believe that as long as they have a dream in their hearts and a road under their feet, they will eventually break out of their own world in the film and television industry. Let's look forward to these young people who are brave enough to pursue their dreams to shine in their future film and television works!
