Common people have always been interested in the world of movies and movie stars. One way to get closer to this world is to become a movie extra (临时演员). Extras are the people seated at tables in a restaurant while the two main actors are in conversation. They are the guests at the wedding of the main characters. Extras usually don't speak any lines, but they help make the scenes look real.
Being a movie extra might seem like a lot of fun. You get to see what life is like behind the scenes. But don't forget that being an extra is really a job, and it's mostly about doing nothing. First-time extras are often surprised to learn how slow the process of movie making is. In a finished movie, the action may move quickly. But it can sometimes take a whole day to shoot a scene that appears for just a few minutes on the screen.
The main requirement for being an extra is the ability to wait. You may report to work at 5 or 6 a.m., and then you wait until the director is ready for your scene. This could take several hours. Then there may be technical problems, and you have to wait some more. After the director says “action” and you do the first “take”, you may have to do it again if he or she is not happy with the scene. In fact, you may have to do the same scene over and over again.
So who would want to be a movie extra? Although they work for long hours and get low pay, many people still ask for the job. Some people truly enjoy the work. They like being on a movie set, and they enjoy being together with other extras. Most of them have flexible (灵活的) schedules (日程表), which allow them to be available. They may be students, waiters, homemakers, retired people, or unemployed (没被雇用的) actors. Some unemployed actors hope the work will help them get real acting jobs, but it doesn't happen often.
The next time you see a movie, don't just watch the stars. Take a closer look at the people in the background. Maybe there is someone in the crowd who is just like you.
