What are the hidden rules of the modeling industry?

Of course, models in reality are basically wild models and young models. Wild models do not have any labor contracts. They go out to take orders by themselves or use "agents" who are also self-employed to help promote and take orders. .

Little models are similar to wild models. They only have names in one or more so-called "model agencies" and do not have any labor contracts, let alone five insurances and one housing fund.

Let’s talk about the unspoken rules, including the following aspects:

1. Charges:

Mainly when cooperating with a model agency, the agency will charge Various fees are collected in a series of names such as registration fees, training fees, clothing fees, sample shooting fees, etc. Of course, if the model is easy to fool, then charge more for some items. If the model is not easy to fool, the minimum is to charge a registration fee, even if it is one hundred or eighty yuan, it will not be a waste. Anyway, I have never seen a woman who has joined a modeling agency (except those who apply for cleaning aunties) who can leave without paying a penny.

2. Bai Gan Jiao:

Usually it is to fool new models, for example, there are some activities and give you a chance to exercise. Some models even thanked their leaders for giving them the opportunity, but in fact, their leaders had already taken away the capitation fee. What's more cruel is that not only do they not give you the money from selling you, but they also ask you to charge for training fees and clothing fees. The normal thing is that you don't pay for your work and you don't make money. A better model agency will give you a small amount of money appropriately.

3. High commissions:

When models get older and are harder to deceive, they start to charge money to promote models, whether it is a modeling company or a wild agent. They will charge intermediary fees in varying proportions, ranging from as high as 60 to 70% to as low as 20 to 30%.

4. That aspect:

This is not uncommon. Whether it is a modeling agency or a wild agent, it is very common for models to make unreasonable demands. This is not considered a hidden rule in the industry because it is explicit. Of course, not all models will succumb to the unspoken rules. Many models don't like these blackmailers, and they can't do anything about it. At most, they just don't recommend activities to you, and there's nothing they can do about it. I have also seen men forcefully rape a model, but the model refused to let him go afterwards. The man sometimes paid for the crime, and some even went to jail for the crime.

As for customers, it is also very common to ask for such rules. They are basically financial temptations. If you don't accept it, others can't do anything for fear of going to jail.

Taobao molds, flat molds, and most of them can also be classified as wild molds. But there are many serious girls who are willing to work hard. The crux of the problem is that there is no shortage of Taobao models and flat models in the world, and the cost of subscribing is not cost-effective. Many Taobao models are sent to the auction, and the submersible is a yo-yo.

Private models are the main force of wild models. The private model is divided into two parts. One part is the students who are deceived and pursue art. The other part, the private model is the periphery in the sense you understand. Private photos are also like their Taobao picture and text details page.

In short, in the modeling industry, although there are many so-called unspoken rules, whether you can get it right depends entirely on the individual. If you are tough enough, there is nothing others can do to you. Of course, this may cause you to lose some opportunities to make money, but it depends on personal choice.
