Salaries of top TV stars abroad

Having built a stunning career in the media space, the star can be sure of stable and large incomes.

However, this requires a long and thorny path development of their personal qualities.

Consider the most successful and titled TV presenters of our time:

  • American Idol») 25 million dollars a year. It was the singer who became an ornament popular show for the title of the best novice performer;

IN Lately more and more stars appear in the studio scandalous talk shows, where in front of millions of viewers they discuss family problems or share a frank story from life. The reason for this is quite simple: money. For an open conversation or provocative behavior, the producers of the program offer a considerable amount. The investment will be fully justified, as the show will collect high ratings, and the loud statements of the artists will be quoted by other media, while mentioning the name of the same program.

The journalist managed to find out for what amount Nikita Dzhigurda, Diana Shurygina, Zhanna Friske's father and many others will agree to tell their story to the whole country. The shocking Dzhigurda turned out to be the most cunning. For the story about the divorce from Marina Anissina and about the will Lyudmila Bratash the outrageous showman was paid up to 600 thousand rubles for one appearance on a talk show. However, this was not enough for him. The day before, Dmitry Shepelev invited Dzhigurda to his show on Channel One "Actually". First Nikita Borisovich agreed to come to the program for 400 thousand (they say that the artist has hard times), but then he suddenly called a new amount - a million rubles. How the producers of the team reacted to this is still unknown.

Nikita Dzhigurda and Marina Anisina


Diana Shurygina

Scandalous famous star talk show "Let them talk" Diana Shurygina earns much less. For participation in several editions of Andrei Malakhov's program, 18-year-old Shurygina earned about 300 thousand rubles. The same amount was paid to Zhanna Friske's father - Vladimir Borisovich for shooting in the Secret for a Million program on NTV. Vitalina Tsymbalyuk-Romanovskaya, before a resonant story with a divorce from 82-year-old Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, agreed to become the heroine of the program for 100 thousand rubles. Now the young wife of Dzhigarkhanyan will surely raise the price tag several times.

There is a category of celebrities who do not scare producers with large sums. So, socialite Lena Lenina asks only 60 thousand rubles for participation in the talk show. The wife of Nikolai Karachentsov, Lyudmila Porgina, agrees to 50 thousand. However, it is most likely that in the light of recent events (last week it became known that Karachentsov was diagnosed with a malignant tumor. - Note ed.) Porgina increased the amount of her fee.

Also, the maximum amount of the star's fee on popular talk shows became known: “Let them talk” with Dmitry Borisov (Channel One) - 800 thousand rubles, “Andrey Malakhov. Live" ("Russia 1") - 700 thousand rubles, "Secret for a Million" with Lera Kudryavtseva (NTV) - 600 thousand rubles, "Actually" with Dmitry Shepelev (Channel One) - 400 thousand rubles, reports "KP »

Become a TV star, hear the cherished “Lights, camera, action!”, sign autographs at fan meetings and pose for the paparazzi on the red carpet. Everyone has a chance to participate in the filming of a movie, series, TV show, clip or advertisement.

How to get into the crowd scene, is the work of the spectator and the actor of mass scenes adequately paid, and can a few seconds in the background become a springboard for acting career? We sorted out these issues, and at the same time we talked with regular participants in crowd scenes about their work and impressions.

You can sign up as a guest for some major TV projects directly on their official website. This is how they recruit, for example, viewers for the filming of the First Channel show "Evening Urgant" - http://urgantshow.ru/form (you will find a viewer questionnaire by clicking on the link, filling out which you will receive confirmation and details about the shooting time by e-mail).

But to use for the employment of the group in in social networks Experienced actors do not recommend:

“Groups of extras and filming on VKontakte - they cannot be trusted. Offers came, I went through auditions, getting on different roles(not only extras), but in most cases it was a "scam", they say: "Sorry, you suit us, but you have to pay so that we can film you." It makes no sense to look for VKontakte, only through film studios or knowledgeable people”, - says a student of the acting college Danila.

Naturally, the bulk of the offers on all these sites applies only to Muscovites, since the shooting takes place at Moscow television studios or in the capital's clubs, and ends very late. Less, but still a lot of offers for extras actors in St. Petersburg, in other cities of Russia, shooting is carried out much less often and extras are not recruited there very often.

Are mass scene actors paid?

Price tags for participating in mass scenes of movies or TV shows range from 600 to 1000 rubles, less often they offer large sums(as a rule, more than a thousand are paid for playing a passing role with a cue).

You can also earn extra money by participating in the filming of television programs - both as guests on a talk show, and as spectators in the hall. Here they pay from 150 to 600 rubles, less often they offer large sums. Approximately the same prices for participation in the shooting music videos, commercials.

To participate in paid shootings, as a rule, it is necessary to go through a casting at least in absentia - from a photo, and also exactly match all the parameters presented by the employer (height, clothing and shoe size, hair length and color, appearance type, nationality, and so on).

Such castings are held infrequently, more and more often they are now limited to simply selecting by photo through email and internet forums.

“The requirements for extras are not as high as for episodic and leading actors, but still, you always need to give yourself 100% - suddenly you will be noticed, some of the directors will like you. Although some extras actors hack, because they think that this is not a role. And at the same time, such actors are still waiting for grandiose roles! Even if you have a small role, you need to play it in such a way that everyone will remember it!” - Mikhail tells us about his experience of participating in the filming of the detective series "Maryina Roshcha", "Next" and others.

Although there are many paid vacancies in this area, according to all the actors of the extras, it is incredibly difficult to earn a living from such work, if not even almost impossible. The filming process requires from all the actors constant full concentration, a long wait, the exact execution of all the instructions of the director, and food and rest for extras, as a rule, are not provided.

“The extras at the Fashion Sentence are given 500 unfortunate rubles for 12 hours of filming. Many grandparents who live nearby were in the studio during this time without proper food precisely because of this money, ”Diana on filming the program“ fashion sentence» for Channel One.

“Those who spent time filming two programs were paid 300 rubles each. On the set, I met people who only earn money from this. They are hardened, to some extent “their own” in Ostankino, the organizers know them by sight - impartial aunts who gather people for shooting and call them to inform them about the time of the next filming, ”Marina on the filming of the program“ Closed Screening ”for Channel One .

“It’s stupid to do this for money. Only perhaps out of love for art or the desire for dubious fame, ”- Anastasia about filming in the film“ Tsar ”.

“Many of my friends manage to fully provide for themselves on such earnings. I'm really not one of them, "- Victoria about filming in the youth television series" Club "," father's daughters"," Do not be born beautiful "and others.

Extras: who are all these people and why are they here?

“Some kind of movement started here, and the organizers began to gather a column of people. My friend and I got into it. But then a whisper ran through the column: “They don’t take us! Don't take this column!" Somehow, instantly, my friend and I met two other girls, grabbed hands and ran to the end of that moving column. For some reason no one stopped us. And we passed quietly. The next day at school, everyone admired us, because many really did not get on the set. And good. They would die there, like us, ”Sofia about the filming of the film“ Shadow Fight ”.

Who plays all these restaurant goers, concert goers, silent waiters, postmen, taxi drivers, shop assistants, and just passers-by on the streets? Most ordinary people, most often students, and not necessarily theater universities, and pensioners. Movies and series constantly require extras, and therefore getting on the set is not a difficult task. True, it’s worth considering right away that, as a rule, this is employment for the whole day - from the very morning until 10-11 pm, and therefore, working 5/2 full time or studying full-time, it’s not so easy to find an opportunity to participate in filming - something simple.

- What is the selection criteria? I ask the man in the bright orange shirt and blue tie.

- Yes, who will like it, who matches the color. Like scenery, each artist has a certain color.

- No, but what to do? That's work! The camera is looking at you, you have to smile, laugh, make them laugh. You are working for them! They turn on the soundtrack, the artist comes out, and you clap and smile, and then shout: “Happy New Year!” No one cares that you're not having fun at all. You have to be funny to THEM, otherwise get out!”

“When I went there for the first time, I was very interested in the filming process itself, so I sat in the front row and watched the work of cameramen and lighting more than what the director, Urgant and Gudkov were talking about. Although when Ivan appeared and somehow suddenly appeared above my head, I almost fell off my chair, ”- Diana on the filming of the Evening Urgant show for Channel One.

"You get valuable experience working with the camera: you learn to be natural, but at the same time attentive, concentrated on the task set by the director. It's not as easy as many people think, it all takes some getting used to. Yes, and I was able to make many acquaintances on the set, useful connections will not hurt! - Mikhail about the experience of participating in the filming of the detective television series "Maryina Grove", "Next" and others.

“Since I went to the shooting of a TV show for the first time, I wanted to dispel a certain myth of show business for myself. See how it's all filmed, how auditorium, seen by me on the screen, corresponds to reality on film set how interested people are in the show, how lively their reactions are. Well, to see Vanya Urgant, of course. The shooting was a pleasant surprise: Vanya's jokes are funny, and live music from the Fruit group gives optimism, and the audience around is sincerely happy, ”- Anastasia on the filming of the Evening Urgant show for Channel One.

Do expectations match reality?

“The studio looks cardboard, frankly, drawn out and boring, although the heroines of the program really look shocked, and Evelina Khromtchenko looks very professional. But the most important disappointment: voting for best clothes- it is fictitious, ”- Diana about the filming of the Fashion Sentence show for Channel One.

“I have such a negative from our world of cinema that, having no professional training, I went to work as a gymnast in a circus. Just to be further away. Although castings often interest me - as a means of self-examination," - Irina about filming in the film "Above the Sky".

“The first thing that caught my eye when we sat down in our seats were the screens above our heads, on which instructions for actions appeared:“ laughter ”,“ applause ”, - Tatiana about filming the Evening Urgant show on Channel One.

“We sat on some plastic benches, after which it is quite difficult to straighten up. Well, and the most important disappointment - we went to the "Closed Screening" in the hope of watching a good movie, and at the same time listening to the opinions of critics and knowledgeable people. But it was not there. They showed us the screensaver of the film company. Then there was a pause. And titles. Like, it's time and honor to know, guys, ”- Marina about the filming of the program “Closed Screening” for Channel One.

“I don’t get as much pleasure from acting in serials as I would from shooting feature films. According to rumors, in big cinema a completely different organization, more and more seriously, strictly, on a large scale, a very large film crew is working. I would like to immerse myself in this atmosphere, non-stop work inspires me, ”- Mikhail about his experience of participating in the filming of the detective television series Maryina Roscha, The Next.

What is difficult in the work of extras?

The long wait, the lack of proper food, the need to follow the director's instructions exactly. Many are also frustrated by the fact that the actors of crowd scenes have almost no opportunity to communicate with famous partners on the set.

“They showed us only the credits, but we listened to three hours of philosophizing of the guests and the presenter. Filming of the first program has ended. As it turned out, the second program was supposed to be filmed next, which, of course, we were not warned about. We were angry and hungry, that's why we blew ourselves home…”, - Marina about the filming of the program “Closed Screening” for Channel One.

“Sometimes they bring you to the shooting in the winter at ten in the morning, keep you until the subway closes, then you wait for your fee for a few more hours and no one thinks to add something to the taxi: “Why? The metro will open in an hour and a half, ”Victoria about filming in the youth television series Club, Daddy’s Daughters, Don’t Be Born Beautiful, and others.

“For extras, the instruction is to sit straight, do not cross your legs and clap on command. You are a mannequin. You do not have a special role, you should be, but imperceptibly and in the way the director needs. At first, everything is interesting, you delve into the process, notice the details. After two hours it’s already difficult to sit the way you need to,” Ksenia on the shooting of the program “Let's Get Married!” for Channel One.

Attitude towards extras in the acting workshop

For many, being in the crowd is a great start to an acting career. True, there are cases when the actors have a dismissive attitude towards extras actors. What is it connected with? with their own behavior.

“For a penny to walk passers-by, on background stand - deserves respect. But there are also mass actors who, by an incredible accident, received small episodes and begin to build stars out of themselves, ”- Rinat, a professional actor.

“Fed and okay. Whether you are cold, whether you are uncomfortable, nobody cares. You are not actors, you are extras. You are easily replaceable and not important in the frame. If one girl or boy left or didn’t come, then the missing people are sometimes recruited directly from people passing by - you don’t even have to pay money to them, ”Veronika, actress of mass scenes.

Witness what's left behind the scenes!

Everyone knows that dozens of takes of the same scene are often filmed, seeking different reactions from the actors, choosing the right light, creating the right emotions ... To see all these episodes and find out what is left behind the scenes is another privilege of extras.

“It was in Anapa on the set of Yeralash. It sounded “Camera, motor, start!” and the guys - "vacationers children's camp began to fight with pillows. The director of the camp came, whose role he played famous artist Anatoly Zhuravlev. When he began to speak his line, a pillow flew at him and hit the Safit. The soffit fell on Zhuravlev - it was not planned. Although he did not receive any serious bruises, the shooting stopped for that day, as he refused to continue to act in film ... ”, - episode Michael about the filming of the Yeralash TV magazine.

“The presenters encouraged, especially Guzeev. She plays funny doubles and talks with the director on absolutely everyday topics, for example, she discusses with him who will go on vacation where, ”Ksenia about the shooting of the program“ Let's Get Married! for Channel One.

Actor's Career Ladder

Many actors start their careers by participating in the filming of movies, TV shows and commercials as extras. This is what the whole pyramid looks like:

extras– participants in staged mass scenes, as a rule, are non-professional actors.

extra- a separate participant in the crowd.

Episode- an actor who plays a separate small role, possibly with a text, but his character is not a significant character in the film or series.

Often: episodic recruits for the filming of serials. For example, distant relatives of the main and secondary characters who appear only in one series are the roles of episodic characters, waiters in a new restaurant or random companions of episodic characters, any random characters who met in only one series are episodic characters.

Heroes of the second plan– permanent characters movie or series that play essential role in the development of the plot, repeatedly appear on the screen, have a film background, their images are worked out in detail by the screenwriters.

Often: stars of the first magnitude play the role of the second plan, because often minor characters have a specific character, their images are bright and memorable. For the performance of supporting roles, prestigious film awards are awarded, including the Oscar.

the main role- top career development actor.

Can work as an extra be a step towards fame?

Leonardo DiCaprio He began his career playing bit parts on Roseanne and Lassie's New Adventures before landing a larger role on another soap opera, Santa Barbara.

Orlando Bloom He began his career with episodic roles in the television series "Accident". It is worth noting that Bloom by this time had an acting education.

From the 15-second appearance in the tape " Fire Department» began her career and Julia Roberts, who played tiny roles in little-known films for several years before she was able to attract the attention of producers and land roles at least in supporting roles.

Keira Knightley Since childhood, she has acted as an extra, participated in many TV shows and received episodic roles in TV shows.

Sergey Bezrukov first appeared in films as a homeless child in the film "Stalin's Funeral", his last name is not listed in the credits. Only after repeated participation in filming as an actor in mass scenes, Bezrukov began to receive offers to play supporting roles.

Cinema about cinema? Yes!

The life story of an unemployed actor named Andy Millman, who all his life dreamed of breaking into a big movie, but so far only achieved a place in the crowd, tells series "Massovka". For all those who want to learn more about the life of extras actors and look at all the vicissitudes of this profession from the outside, it is recommended to watch this series!

Perhaps not a single political talk show on Russian television not complete without foreign guests. Each time they oppose our country, receiving insults and even kicks in response, but they do not stop going to programs. It turned out that the role of a whipping boy is a very profitable business.

According to an informed source, some experts attend such shows for free, while others go to them as if they were working. For example, Ukrainians come to the program only for money.

ON THIS TOPIC

So, for example, the most expensive Ukrainian expert of the show is political scientist Vyacheslav Kovtun. He earns from 500 to 700 thousand rubles a month, and sometimes the income is even a million rubles, Komsomolskaya Pravda writes.

The US journalist Michael Bohm earns the same amount. "The American generally has an exclusive contract and a rate. He is obliged to attend a certain number of broadcasts," the source said.

There are also more modest experts. For example, the Polish political scientist Yakub Koreyba earns less than 500 thousand rubles a month. It's just that the expert does not manage to come to Moscow often for programs.

"Everything is official - they draw up a contract, pay taxes," the source added. An expert like Ukrainian blogger Dmitry Suvorov receives 10-15 thousand rubles for broadcasting. More promoted guests are paid up to 30 thousand rubles for participation.

Previously it was reported that American journalist Michael Bohm was almost beaten at the height of the show "Time will tell" on Channel One. The host of the program, Artem Sheinin, began to threaten the guest, and then jumped up to him and grabbed his jacket.

"What do you think, I can only use my tongue? Are you provoking me? Did I tell you to sit? Sit!" he said angrily. Despite such humiliating treatment, Bohm did not leave the studio and stated that he did not hold a grudge against Sheinin.
