The normal way to beginis to go to a drama sch001.Usually only students whoshow promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years.Then the young actor oractress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团)，usually as an assistant stage managerThis means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in verysmall parts It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny.
