Reply to comment by Jollydancer 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
Yeah I've lived here for 5 years now. Local in China? Chinese people were extremely envious, especially seeing how close I was working to one of their heroes. There are so many people here that doing something so special is even more special.

But did you actually have any contact with the real stars of the films? Did they talk to you at all?
JayCroghan OP t1_iszdktc wrote
Yeah in Wandering Earth 2 I was a featured extra and 5 of us and the main star shot our scenes in a small little spaceship for a few days. We spoke but nothing personal just pleasantaries. I spoke to Dante Lam too, I mentioned in the OP he asked where I was from.

Oh sorry, I thought I had read everything. But my memory isn’t what it was…
So when you write everything was dubbed later, you mean I won’t hear your original voice in any of the films, right?

No an American guy in Beijing who I met later dubbed my character, you will hear me saying "fire" in the second Lake Changjing though they didn't dub that.

Did you at least get a photo with him when you guys were on set? Wouldve been a thing to remember for the ages

No you got fired for taking photos due to being under an NDA.
