How to become a professional model?

1) First of all, of course, you must be mentally prepared. The brilliance and splendid scenes of a model’s life are basically just superficial phenomena. In fact, in the life of a model, behind the envy of people, it is full of hardships, sufferings, endurance and even pain. Before you consider becoming a model, you must be fully mentally prepared. You will be picked over and over. When you join a modeling company, what you often encounter is an interview (professional models are also divided into contracted models and freelance models. During the interview, the contracted models will undoubtedly have an advantage in the interview for the job accepted by the company. In this process, If you are less powerful, of course you will lose opportunities again and again). Interviewing is one of the main tasks of being a model. A model’s job is to provide image services for products, so your image and feeling must meet the requirements of the fashion brand. During the interview process, you may face a famous fashion design master or director. Or in the eyes of brand customers, they may encounter an arrogant or contemptuous face; they may encounter a sharp and critical expression; they may encounter an uneducated but self-righteous face; they may encounter a lewd gaze. and face; you may also vaguely hear some comments about you during the interview. Can you accept all of this? (Please note: As a model, these are still not the most uncomfortable things. The most important thing a model should have is to be indifferent to all strange views) 2) Determine your own goals according to your own conditions. According to the classification of models, you can initially give yourself Choose a target: fashion model, advertising model, underwear model (there is actually no strict classification of models in China, and there are many models that can span several categories)... First, set yourself test questions : (1) Height; (2) Skin quality (color, texture, scars); (3) Body quality (shoulder width, chest circumference, waist circumference, hip circumference, proportion); (4) Image characteristics (facial lines, features) ; (5) Desire for expression; (6) Physical coordination; (7) Ability to accept new things; 3) Find a modeling agency that suits you. When you think you are qualified to become a model, you must first find a modeling agency that suits you. There are currently nearly a hundred modeling agencies in China, large and small, but not every modeling agency is suitable for you. A good model agent can help models successfully embark on a professional path and help models position themselves in the market; because agents have a large number of customer resources, they can help models expand the market and receive more orders; agents can help Models produce excellent pictures and build databases in the right way, which are conceptual weapons for models to attack the market; more importantly, agents are the bridge between models and clients. Agents not only represent the interests of models, but also represent clients. The benefits can turn the cooperation between clients and models into realistic and operable projects. 4) First choose the region where you want to join the model. 1. Enter Beijing and join a top model company. If you think that your conditions and feelings can work with super models, you will also have the confidence to participate in performances and advertisements of famous brands. If you don’t If you are stuck in your hometown, it is best to go to Beijing Concept 98 Model Agency or New Silk Road, a top domestic model company. These two companies are relatively large in scale, have standardized management, and have strong business capabilities, so they have the opportunity to contact international brands and famous domestic brands. There are more opportunities to do business abroad. Both companies have some great fashion show choreographers and modeling agents, so they are great for growing the modeling business. But in such a company, there are many model talents and the competition is very fierce. If you want to achieve something, you have to work harder. (The degree of commercialization in Beijing is still not as high as that in Shanghai. Everyone should understand this better) 2. Go to Shanghai and feel the romance of the metropolis. Shanghai is an international metropolis and a gathering place for international brands. Although there are not as many large-scale fashion shows here as in Beijing, there are constant small and medium-sized fashion promotion activities. Shanghai has a large number of commercial shooting activities, and it is also a good place for models to exercise, work and live. In Shanghai, you can join Shanghai Concept Gravity Model Agency, Linjie Model Agency, Shanghai Yifei Model Agency, Firestone Model Agency, Shanghai Model Pair, Silk Model Pair, etc. 3. Choose Guangzhou and embrace the purely commercial atmosphere. Guangzhou, as well as the surrounding Shenzhen, Zhongshan, Humen, Nanhai, and Shantou, are home to many fashion brands, forming a space for model development. There are many wild models and wild agents here, and there are many wild models and wild agents. Operations are irregular. Therefore, if you choose to develop in Guangzhou, you must sign with a formal model company, such as Manzishahua Model Performing Arts Production Company, Chaoyang Model Production Company, Guangzhou Gaochao Model Production Company, etc. 4. Choose the nearest big city to settle down. In addition to Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou, Tianjin, Harbin, Shenyang, Dalian, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chengdu and Jinan also have relatively formal model companies and a certain model market. The cost of living in these cities is relatively low. If your conditions are acceptable, modeling in these cities may not necessarily result in less business than in Shanghai and Beijing. 5. Directly join an overseas model company. If you have excellent English proficiency, maybe your family, relatives, or close friends have a background of living overseas. If you also have the feeling of living abroad (and can adapt to foreign living customs), you can contact foreign modeling companies.

For new models, if you have the courage to develop abroad, you should choose Milan first, because Milan is much easier to accept new people than New York and Paris. After working in Milan for a while, he moved on to Paris and New York, a path followed by many international models. If you work in an overseas modeling company for a period of time, it is also a wise arrangement to return to your country and join a domestic modeling company. Because in the next few years, Chinese models will often become an important international model market. As a Chinese model, you should not lose this place that belongs to you. When choosing a model company, big companies have the advantages of large companies, and small companies have the advantages of small companies. Large companies have formal management, many opportunities, and higher single-country work fees, but the checkout cycle is longer and competition among models is fierce. Since the company has more models signed, the agent will not take very thorough care of it; while for small companies, The operation is more flexible and the checkout is fast, but there are fewer opportunities to contact big brands and the cost of a single job is lower. Therefore, when choosing a modeling agency, you must think twice based on your own characteristics and do not compare with others. No matter what region or model company you choose, the most important thing is that this company can help you realize your dream of becoming a professional model, this company can help you receive orders, and you can earn what you think is okay from this company. money.
