Sorry, friends who are waiting for the update, have been busy in recent weeks, and they have come home and fallen unconscious when they touch the bed

Child actors are needed, first contact with this aspect, read a lot of information. California law has a lot of provisions on child actors, and there are different hours limits for children of all ages. For example, the minimum age allowed to shoot is – you guess – 15-day-old babies. There are various requirements for on-site lighting, and a licensed children's nurse must be present in addition to the guardian, and the maximum working hours are 20 minutes a day.

Yes, twenty minutes, if you get stuck, come back tomorrow.

School-age children do not need a nurse, but they do need to have a studio teacher on set. Studio Teacher, who is not really a teacher, is there because the child's parents may not have the expertise to judge what kind of behavior will have a physical or psychological impact on the child during the filming process, so a qualified third party is required to make the judgment. There can be many potential problems for parents of children, for example, to become a child actor requires parents to apply and obtain permission. As a friendly reminder from the production office, all casting directors are requested to check their child's license prior to the interview. Enthusiastic parents may not remind you of this.

Each ST can only be responsible for a certain number of children, for example, if I need 12 9-year-olds, or 21 15-year-olds, I have to hire at least two STs on set, and they have to observe the scene and have the right to stop filming at any time.

The working hours are different for children of different ages. The school sent me a large reminder that making child actors work overtime could involve you in criminal proceedings. So you need to think it through very carefully. A 12-year-old child can work for 9 and a half hours a day, including rest periods, not counting transportation time. On weekdays, it's six and a half hours. The make-up strip and the equally mandatory lunch break are only about four and a half hours – because under another law, child actors are required to reserve three hours of study time on weekdays.

I have mixed feelings about this rule, including "To be a child star, you must go to school every day" and "If I take leave to film today, will I study", and "Is it enough to study for three hours a day in middle school in Zhejiang to take the entrance examination".

There are too many of these messy things, and people who don't actually operate them will be confused. When a respected professor asked him on what basis he judged how many STs needed to ask, he said that they would probably ask more on weekdays - I thought at first he was mistaken and thought that Studio Teacher was invited to teach children. It turned out later that minors between the ages of 16 and 18 don't need ST for non-weekday shooting, but they need to be invited on weekdays - maybe the reason for his confusion is much more professional than I thought (.)

And the daily wage of a licensed studio teacher is ..... No, don't make me think about this, I'll go to sleep first
