Reply to comment by bjran8888 in IAmAn Irish guy who worked as an extra and got speaking parts in 3 Chinese blockbusters last year, Battle At Lake Changjin 1 & 2 and Wandering Earth 2! by JayCroghan

Yes of course, I watched both Lake Changjin movies in the cinema and I can’t wait to see Wandering Earth.

I didn't think they would hire a software engineer as an extra, but China is not a country of immigrants and doing so can only be described as a no-brainer. Wu Jing is the most expensive actor in China, if you have quite a few scenes with him, you may have a lot of fame after "Wandering Earth 2" hahaha, (like mike Sui in the first one?)

They hired anybody they could for Changjing Lake. Wandering Earth was different I was chosen for the role. I probably only have 10 seconds of screen time I don’t expect to be any more known than I am today!
