With the sound of an explosion echoing in the valley and smoke in the air, 59-year-old Miao Yuhai runs across a "battlefield" carrying a radio transmitter on his back.
He is on a production set for a television drama, where he and fellow villagers work as extras.
They have been working as extras for 15 years, changing their lives and bringing fortune to their poverty-stricken village in northwestern China's Gansu province.
