Important people who were paid by one thousand movie actors

Fars News Agency, Cinema Group: Actors’ salaries are one of the most attractive parts for cinema and even television audiences these days; But this is not only relevant to the current audience of Iranian cinema, in the past people were always interested in finding out the salaries of their favorite actors.

Therefore, it may not be bad to take a look at the issue of “wages” of Iranian cinema actors in the 30s, 40s and 50s, the days when the black of the Iranian cinema divisions received one thousandth of the salaries of the main actors.

Black Legions; Important people for movies

The blacks of the enduring armies on the scene, with a small income, gave in to any kind of game in movies and TV series. If we look more closely, they were the ones who formed the main basis of the films, because if they were not, how would the crowded and crowded scenes that are necessary for a lively film be made and paid for? The male or female actor played the lead role in the film with their help, and he became famous by using these deceived people.

One thousandth of the salary of the main actors!

The black wages of the divisions varied according to their background, but usually the men did not receive more than 100 tomans, which was between 40 and 60 tomans by the person in charge of them, while the first actors in the films were paid between 100 and 300 thousand. They received Tomans. The blacks of the divisions, if they were favored, had a cup of tea or a sandwich for lunch, while the actors ate the best food first. The blacks of the divisions had no material support at all, and often wandered in front of the studios waiting for the promised time to be fulfilled.

Women; A toy for pre-revolutionary cinema

Black Women’s divisions were better paid than men because they had fewer competitors and needed them more for different scenes. In the 1930s and 1940s, when bath or wedding scenes were common in Iranian films, the black faces of female armies were evident.

The black women, often single or divorced, often claimed to have small children. They apparently starred in movies to make a living. The wages of the black women of the army were usually equal to 300 to 500 tomans. Some of them, because of their background, knew their duty well. Sometimes they wore tents and participated in a mourning scene in the film, and sometimes they showed themselves naked, in scenes by the pool or by the sea. The black women of Lashkar had sad memories and stories of their lives that often claimed to have originated in a failed marriage.

Sometimes Iqbal helped the blackness of the so-called female armies. Some of these were noticed, they were given more and sometimes (one in a thousand) first roles, and thus they reached the peak of their aspirations from the depths of anonymity.
