Current Events > You're offered a scene in a Hollywood movie were A-list actors throw eggs at you

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's some kind of epic massive movie like the Expandables or Avengers that has a massive all star cast. You don't know the context of the scene because it's one of those things were only the director and a couple of lead actors have the full script to prevent leaks

But your scene is that you get absolutely pelted with eggs by a cavalcade of Hollywood A-listers.

Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Margot Robbie, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, Gates McFadden, George Clooney, Amber Heard, The Rock, Sandra Bullock, Chris Hemsworth, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Sigourney Weaver, Meryl Streep, Samuel L. Jackson, Keanu Reeves, Ryan Reynolds and more

You just stand there while they surround you and just throw egg after egg after egg at you for an extended period of time.

No CGI. It's all practical effects.

Edit: Your pay is:
$1.
A T-shirt.
Your name in the credits.

Would you do it?

Am I getting paid, or is it some scenario where I'm just glad to be surrounded by stardom?

for 4.3 million dollars, sure

Plenty of people will do this for free, they don't need to pay you.

What's the pay?

But generally, yes.

Absolutely not lol The kind of people who would do it for free are the types of fawning, extremely fanatical extras everyone hates working with.

That pay is shit and I'm not sure the recognition for being "the egg guy" is worth it. Plus I don't know if I'd even want the role if I don't know exactly what's going on in the movie.

I have no desire to be famous for any reason, much less something that's more likely to result in infamy based on the premise. Unless I'm getting boatloads of cash for it (preferably enough to retire on), hard pass.

lmao is this also a part of your imaginary scenario?

No

Nah.
$1 isn't enough to get that messy. That role wouldn't even be bragging rights, just people going "aren't you that guy who everyone threw eggs at in that one movie?"

Why not? Gotta start somewhere, I guess.
Plus saying you were in a scene with all those actors could look good on a resume.

You could have at least made the pay plausibly worth it.....

Sure. It may be an embarrassing part, but even embarrassing parts land some groupies. You'd be surprised.

Yeah

You think tens of millions wouldn't do this for free?

Unless they are paying a few thousand dollars no I would not do that stupid shit.

Tens of millions can afford to take a day off and buy a plane ticket out of their own pocket? lmao

Plane ticket? What the hell do you mean? Lunch? Wazzat? You got a t-shirt you greedy little turd!

If anything I think it might be too low

Could well be hundreds of millions if offered to everyone on Earth

I think a lot of people would flat out pay to do it

Maybe for like 10K+

A fucking dollar? Lolololol

Probably. I don't know what the fuck is going on in this movie they're making, but it's got to be epic if there's an extended scene of famous people throwing eggs at me.

That's what the Zombies in Night of Living Dead got paid

Some of them were naked too

Voted yes but I didn't see that I'd only get paid $1. This is so humiliating tc

I was gonna vote yes then I saw the pay and thought "fuck that shit"

I mean if the $1 pay included getting me on site sure, I'd spend a day of vacation for that.

Well they have to pay you scale. So $1 would be illegal and I would sue them for millions.

Also no because getting pelted by hundreds of eggs would hurt like hell. Not to mention some of that is getting in your mouth and you'd end up with salmonella

Of course I would.

Do I get a custom designed superhero suit?

So I have to stand there in only a tshirt with my balls put while I get pelted with eggs?

What the hell kind of superhero movie is this anyway?

As the producer I hold you responsible.

No you get a Tshirt as payment

The costume department will have something set up for you to wear

Who said it was a superhero movie?

I'm not the producer

I'm just finding an extra

Right now there are a ton of wannabe actresses who would sleep with a room full of casting agents to get this opportunity. Probably some male actors would too.

Do I at least get to meet them before/after
