that's ridiculous! 一个特约？！who you are? in china who make price of china film industry? can you ask all film industry company pay the same price,in spite of they shooting in Beijing,or a small town?the company invest how much capital on this film? in China?! do you know every province and city have different average salery? how the goverment and company make the salary level? suggest you do research of local CPI and GDP.
I am curious,you make this price of you,did have someone hire you? are you handsome? can you speak chinese fluntly?do you acting very well? how many Tv movie you have acted? are you the only option,no one can replace you?
Xiefei sounds a nice guy.and his suggest to jasmine is objective and fair.
here have some poisonous words about Jasmine,but the guy never explian what he did himself.all is Jasmine's fault? did he innocent at all? I don't think so. the malice of slander behavior just make yourself cheap.
I don't know who you are.but something is obviously.
not all foreigner is same.some is nice,some is bad.as I know,some foreigner lie to his agent or client for raise price,get more money.steal agent's commission.some foreigner agree the price when a agent offer him in the begining,but when he arrivel to set,he force agent pay him more extra money.a 50's American thug,stupid acting,can't speak his line in English well.besides get 3 times of original salary in last shooting day,also make his agent pay 1600RMB to the taxi driver!this money is agent's own money,the film company only pay publc bus ticket,it's 200RMB.
without your agent,you can't get this job.can't get pay.any agent don't want work for free.if you are agent,I am sure you don't want work for free as well.any business you do with people.you can't only thinking about your pay.anyone want get more money,you can get more or less, depend on your manner to the person you need contact.are you robber? do you think you can force someone give you money? is it work everytime? if you are selfish,acting as a thug,I am sure you will earn less money.lost more job opportunity.if you can try to learn to be a nice guy.understanding other people,friendly,cooperate,respect the people you work with.I am sure you will earn more money,get more work opportunity.stop attack other people,try to learn to be a nice guy.and try to learn deal with people in smart way.
someone remind be alert to Jasmine.someone post her photo,phone number,someone said find her. it;s ridicious too!
1.obviously,not only one chinese woman name is Jasmine.besides,it;s an English name.everyone can use it as her name if she like,or if she don't like it anymore,she can change it.don't need register in police station.many people have the experience change mobile card.including foreigner.it;s not lie.maybe just other mobile card cheaper,or someone move to another city.
avoid jasmine not mean you can avoid be cheated.the problem is not jasmine or someone else.what the point is are you stupid?
if you don't know how to avoid be cheated,I might can give you some suggest.
1,do some research,the local average salary and CPI.the company you work with,where they come from? from Kunming? or Beijing? or abroad company? how big this film?do they have hire femous actor? a femous actor will take most big part of budget,so the producer will try to reduce other's pay.
if you do acting work for film,foreign extra's pay is about 10 times with chinese extra,sometime more than 10 times.12 times.物以稀为贵 because foreigner people more less than chinese.if you get a role,the pay depend on do you fit this role? do you acting well? can you be trust? because role not only one day's work.and how much the company can afford? if they think your price is expensive,one,they looking for other person,two,they canceled this small role.or replace by a chinese actor.these is a little complicated.one way is simple.what you want? just money? more money? or you want have fun as well?do you satisfy the price offer? you think how much you worth to be pay? are you professional actor? can you speak line in chinese very well? and acting well? do you have experience? how long? is it possible someone can replace you?
few years ago,an Italian girl come to Kunming,she is 180cm tall,very good shape,and beautiful.she was a model in Italy.she ask 2500RMB,she just work 2 hours in a downtown hotel.the price is quiet expensive in Kunming.the AD try to find other foreign girl,in whole Kunming,no one else is fit for this work.and the boss insist want her.so finally,they pay her 2500RMB.althought the AD angry about it.also,because she is too expensive,after that,I didn't heard she get another similar job and similar pay in Kunming.
2.what the guy's purpose if he said Jasmine is bad? maybe it's another agent? or this guy want do agent work?try to convince foreigner trust him.or some guy is a good agent...that's not matter who is good or bad.the most importent point is who can offer you a work,can pay you money? if I am a shareholder,I don't care the CEO's personal moral,I am care about did he can earn more money for me?
few years ago,a German guy broken his head in a bar,his agent help him go to hospital,cook food for him,but this German guy never grateful for it.it's just an example.some foreigner don't care how many things the agent did for him,and these things is not agent's work.we all should realize,business is business.
3.actually,all these foreigner in Kunming,no one is really professional actor or model.agent also not real agent.
the real agent get his commission in 20%-30% of actor's pay.in china some new singer or actor,the agent company take 50%.and this actor have to sign a few years contract with this agent company.and this actor have to promise,all his work have to though his only one agent.anyway,agent should be happy if she can get a high price from a film company.don't forget,where the money come from? not from the agent!so,if the film company can pay you more,agent don't care about it.
if you just a foreigner in Kunming, you are not a real actor,you don't work with only one agent,you don't have few years contract with your agent.the agent here also not only do the agent work,she/he also need translate for you,teach you acting,or catwalking.spend more time than you when you working.the film company come to Kunming shooting,they dont need real actor,all they want is westren face.extra and some small role.so,don't expect you can get a actor's pay.and your agent get 20-30% commission.everytime,this kind of part-time work,the price is different,depend on what kind of work? how long? where? the company big or small?how much budget they have?how is your value?you can't make the price,agent can't decide the price too.
