"Boss, I heard that Hengdian is no longer available, and many crews have turned to Xiangshan." Dog Tuanzi said when he saw Ding Xu's unsatisfactory appearance: "Why don't we go and have a look?"

"That's right, the boss finally came here, let's have a few more days." Sakura said hurriedly: "I also heard that there are more crews in Xiangshan."

"Xiangshan?" Ding Xu thought, to be fair, this time the subject is good, it would be a pity if he could handle it in two days. Extras are not just a special profession, but can also appear in the entertainment industry and even the capital circle through their projections.

1,000 film and television companies and more than 600 artist studios are registered here. Nearly 2,000 film and television dramas have been filmed here in 30 years since "The Opium War" directed by Xie Jin in 1996.

This is like a mirror, and whenever it changes, it reflects the fluctuations of the industry.

"Brother Xu, do you know you haven't seen enough?"

"It's okay, I will definitely satisfy you this time!"

The next day, everyone set out but did not go to the crew, but came to Hengdian Street. Ding Xu walked in front of the camera and said, "A big drama consists of hundreds of people, and it takes several months to shoot. What benefits are not only the film and television base, but also the surrounding supporting services such as clothing, chemicals, roads, and professional rentals, as well as the tourism, catering, and accommodation industry chains have also emerged."

"Brother Xu is walking on the pedestrian street in the center to see if it is lively next to you?"

"Starbucks, Little Bit, KFC, and imported supermarkets are all available?"

"Is it hard to imagine that it was a barren and muddy country road twenty or thirty years ago?"

"I heard that Lu Han had just finished filming "The Legend of the Heavens" and countless fans came to check in for the same food, accommodation and transportation."

"Because I was filming in Hengdian all day, Eric Tsang simply invested in two hotels and wasn't it generous?"

"The popular "Military Advisors Alliance" has been filmed in Hengdian for almost a year, and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" is stationed for nine months..."

"Did you see the community in the distance?"

"The rumors are all bought by celebrities!"

Ding Xu also let himself go, all kinds of gossips that don’t come from are flying all over the sky. Which star hasn’t come to Hengdian to shoot a movie?

When he arrived at Shanghetu Street in Qingming, looking at forty or fifty so-called film and television studios or companies of all sizes on both sides, Ding Xu sighed: "Brother Xu heard that when he was the most popular, he finished filming at night and filmed night scenes all night, and he turned his head and turned, one after another without stopping."

"I have been more foreplays and fewer actors. It is said that I couldn't find an extra when filming "The New Condor Heroes"?"

"There are at least a few hundred maids in the palace. At first, they said they wanted to be beautiful, but later, they didn't even have enough people!"

"A old aunt in her forties and fifties can also wear makeup!"

"In the past two years, the aesthetics of our audiences have gradually improved in the bombardment. What kind of bullshit IPs can be a frustration as long as they are not good-looking, right?"

"Now, the TV series has more than 30 episodes and is considered a big group, and it is mostly large online. The group will be finished in a few days. There is no need to invite extras, or very few extras."

"You also heard the old demon's interview yesterday, right?"

"Just go to the pedestrian street for a walk, why are so many martial arts stand-in doing live broadcasts?"

"There is no way, can you wait to starve to death without filming?"

Ding Xu came to the door of a closed film and television studio, pointed at the empty building and said, "Brother Xu, settle the score for you."

"If a company in Hengdian does not do a project in three years, the rent, water and electricity will be 100,000 yuan a year, the hospitality fee will be 500,000 to 700,000 yuan a year, and the three-year hard cost will be easy to be three or four million, believing it?"

"Who can stand it!"

"Forget it, we can't worry about the hearts of the big capital. After all, there are losses and profits in business." Ding Xu took a sip of water and continued: "The topic is about going back to the extra."

"A sentence that Lao Yao said to me yesterday impressed Brother Xu, that is the ubiquitous feeling of contempt and separation."

"Even if you are in the same crew or even in the same scene, you will find that the actors will not communicate with the extras at all."

"This kind of barrier not only occurs in the relationship between the starring actor and the extra, but the boundary between the extra actors is still very clear. Everyone knows that there are fewer special actors and they all have separate arrangements. Prospect actors and ordinary extras are divided into different rest areas and led by different team leaders."

"Even the clothes you receive come from different warehouses, do you believe it?"

"Of course the prospects are much brighter, and for ordinary extras, a fit and clean clothing has become a luxury?"

"Because their clothing is generally fat and big, sometimes they even need to be nailed to prevent it from falling."

"It seems that there is an invisible barrier that makes them even chat with their own kind first. Not to mention the team leader's level of attentiveness, there is even a detailed storyboard script in the notification group for prospects, while the extras are completely disgusted."

"Whether the hair combing teacher is dedicated to his conscience or not, some people can use verbal pua, and complain that your face is as fat as a cake... Didn't you wash your face in the morning... The best cosmetics are hopeless..."

"Not to mention the director, the extras are the punching bags of others. When they make mistakes, they can only sigh helplessly. When they meet big names, they have to smile and flatter each other? "

"But if the extras don't control their expressions, they will be scolded by the director and will be punished by the guard leader!"

"Why does Brother Xu feel more terrifying than a workplace PUA?"

"Even many documentaries like to find those who have been with large groups?"

Ding Xu walked to the door of the Actors Guild and looked at the crowd waiting for the certificate application. Many of them were young people who were just starting out and dreaming.

"Of course, compared with the vague regulations of other film and television bases, Hengdian has made detailed regulations on salary payment and personal safety. The team leader even repeatedly emphasized that as long as the male extras are unruly to the female extras, the male extras will be dismissed, and the specific consequence is that they will be kicked out of the group chat."

"Did you find out? The team leader is equivalent to the team leader in the company. He arranges tasks, supervises implementation, and needs to deal with emergency or unexpected situations."

"They are the only leaders that extras can face directly, and the extras' job opportunities are completely in their hands."

"So when employees want to climb up, is how to please their boss a problem that they have to face?"
