yes,I have these experience in the past.I am going prepare the contract contain all the detail for avoid some problem between foreigner and crew.
what I write before is because someone still talking about some experience in the past.Laotou is right,no one like cheat people,make people dislike me.
but last year,the Tv play serial,the situation in the begining is complex.when they start shooting,3 old woman want run the extra and small role agent business.sometime,they complain each other,sometime they work together.they haven't experience with foreign extra.so,when the producer offer the 300 Yuan pay,they don't negociate with assistant director or producer.when I came.they use me do all the work,but share 50%commision from my work,once the producer knew it.he fired these 3 useless woman,the funny things is,before that,they take money from my work,when they heard fired,these 3 woman constantly call me.ask me stand on their side,reject against producer.why should I support someone exploit to me?so I didn't agree.and the bad things,they made a bad start.when the price fixed.I will difficult change.and they still didn't give up,they send a Chinese guy work for the assistant director at set,try to start some bad words about me and tell producer.they try to revanch after they fired.in this situation,difficult renegociate with producer.I try to let producer know,how hard of this work,he promise,naxt time,when he come to Kunming again,can help my work easiler.
but,he said he would come in last year,until know still didn't arrive.
many foreigner just said I cheat him.but you see,these crew always "cheat"
I said the agent situation not for gain commiserate,I think I have enough brave inside.just because many foreigner,they can't understand what the agent work.what we did?to client,I have responsiblity help them for the shooting work,to foreigner,I have responsiblity they can get pay after work,crew can provide some necessary support for foreigner.
some foreigner always try to take all money.dont want pay commision.without me,he\she can't get a role.unprofessional extra need more help.explain the acting,translate....
a professinal actor,speak Chinese very well,he can hire a assistant for carry his stuff,help him prepare his line.
he know the acting work,and many situation at set.the agent only work in the start and finish,get this role for him and when work finish get money from crew.and pay him.
but foreign extra,many people,never acting before,a speak a little Chinese,don't understand the acting work..I should do more work for help him.in this way,the pay also different with professional actor.
jonathan live in China 14 years,acting many years,handsome,very fluency Chinese.he told me,many people dislike pay commision,but he is happy for pay commision.because he know,agent can help him get more work oppotunite.maybe this is the different with unprofessional extra and a professional actor.
actually our profit is band together.if we can hold together.I can have more power for negociate with client.the Ira things,when she went to Ban na,she said she don't want see me.after finish work she didn't tell me,she keep me away,makes me cant help her.after that,she black mail,insult...keep me away more.
she dream producer directly pay money to her.eventually get zero.maybe,or she want get pay twice from me.
last year,the girl didn't trust my translate,yes,I agree,my Chinglish terrible.but she forget,I prepare these question long time,I am so wish she can win!but that guy only read these question few minutes before
go on stage.oh,he must very nervious.he misunderstand her answer,the translate make we lost the top 3 circle.oh!I sitting on the audience seat,nothing I can do!
actually I had save her in second circle."corner of Africa"not south Africa,it's Ethiopia.when she try to say south africa in English,I repeat the right answer by Chinese,so they judge her answer is right!
so pity!and I am sorry she didn't get good money we have expect before,maybe it's my fault,I didnt try to convince her let me translate for her.
thanks for all of these thoughtful advice.
