Talent Coordination
Professional artist management and logistics for productions in China.
Talent planning handles the logistics of working with on-screen performers. That covers scheduling, transport, lodging, wardrobe fittings, and on-set management. China's production scene is huge, from China Film Group studios in Beijing to Shanghai's film hub and Hengdian World Studios, the world's largest outdoor film set. Good talent planning keeps performers prepared, comfortable, and ready the moment they are needed.
We provide talent planning that handles the demands of managing your cast across a China shoot. Our team arranges travel, lodging, ground transport, and daily schedules for performers in Beijing, Shanghai, Hengdian, and beyond. We work closely with Chinese talent agencies and know the unique needs of China's entertainment industry, so your talent is always where they need to be.

On Location
Cast logistics tuned to China's agency-driven entertainment market
Setting up talent in China means working inside one of the most agency-driven entertainment markets in the world. Studios such as Huayi Brothers Talent, Hairun Pictures, Donghuang Entertainment, Wuhan Mango, and Shanghai Tianyu manage the main stars moving through Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong. Our team holds working ties across these rosters. We also reach the regional pools that feed Hengdian World Studios, the world's largest outdoor backlot, and the TV talent tied to CCTV in Beijing and SMG in Shanghai.
We handle call-time sheets, fittings at the costume houses clustered around Hengdian and Beijing's Tongzhou production belt, and on-set holding at stages across Chedun, Shanghai Film Park, and Beijing's CCTV Sangyuan facilities. We treat each cast member's day as a chain of timed handoffs, from pickup through wrap.
Day-to-day work covers ground transport between Beijing Capital, Shanghai Pudong, Hong Kong International, and Chengdu Tianfu, plus the hotel clusters in Sanlitun, the Bund, Tsim Sha Tsui, and the Hengdian compound. We set up Z-visa work permits and F-visa business invitations for inbound performers. Our team manages per diems against Chinese tax rules and briefs talent on local etiquette, including the extra formality needed around heritage sites such as the Forbidden City and the Great Wall.
On the ground the picture gets more specific. Wardrobe, makeup, and hair calls are timed against Chinese Labor Law hour caps and the required social-insurance inputs (社保) tracked through payroll. High-profile bookings get extra layers of privacy, routed through hotel back-of-house, along with discreet movement through fan-heavy districts in Wangfujing, the Bund, and Hong Kong's Causeway Bay, where Weibo crowd alerts can compress a schedule within minutes.
