Is it true or false when the model is interviewed and asked to take a model card?

Anyone who applies for a model job and asks you to take artistic photos for a model card is a liar! A model card is an information card for a model to introduce herself, with your photo and personal information printed on it. Whether you are a part-time or full-time model, strictly speaking, you need a model card. But the model card is not a necessary thing, it just makes it easier to introduce yourself to the model using unit. Just like a business person needs to print business cards, it is not a big deal whether or not they have one. However, making model cards is not as simple and low-cost as printing business cards. The cost of taking photos and printing is relatively high.

Therefore, now those agencies that defraud money and falsely recruit models will defraud you of high amounts of money in the name of needing to make model cards, because, first, making model cards does not cost that much money at all. Second, after they make a model card for you, they will not provide it to the employer for reference at all. They will tell you that no one can choose you and let you go home and wait. There will be no news from you again. It is tantamount to cheating you. Much money.

Attention, they tell you that you can also do it outside, which is actually a scam. Because even if you go out to do it and ask around, whoever does it will be more expensive than them, so you will definitely come back to them. They have calculated this, and they know that you will definitely come back to them to do it. In fact, making a model card is just an excuse. After they make a model card for you, they will say that no customers are willing to choose you as their model, so you have to wait. As a result, there will never be any news after waiting, which is equivalent to making you money in vain. I paid a sum of money to make a model card. Only God knows whether they showed it to the client or not!

As long as it is a media company, model company, agency, etc. that recruits models in the name of the company, it will definitely collect money in various names, and it will definitely be fake. If the model is used directly Recruited by units or individuals, such as clothing companies, clothing stores, bridal shops, Taobao stores, photo studios, photographers, etc., it may be true. But when recruiting, if they require a shipin interview or a kaifang interview in a hotel, etc., be careful, as they are usually fake.

A real and non-deceptive modeling company will never recruit amateurs from the public, and will sign contracts internally through professional channels. Not only do they have to sign up with contestants who have graduated from professional colleges and major talent shows, they must at least go through auditions and screening activities organized by industry insiders for free, and see the photos they take of you with professional requirements to prove that you are indeed Only with that material can we sign a contract with you. Note that this audition does not have any pre-set hardware conditions except that she must be a woman, but the software condition is that nude shots are not refused. So if none of the above situations apply to you, you will basically have no access to real companies. Real companies will help you make model cards for free.

There is another tried-and-tested touchstone for distinguishing true from false when recruiting models online, which is the prerequisite for girls to engage in the modeling industry - they must not refuse to be photographed in the nude. Only by being able to do this can we talk about other things. Unless you are applying to a unit that directly uses models, and this time the model does not need to be naked, it depends on whether they tell you that if you join a modeling company as a model, no matter what model you are doing, you will inevitably be exposed and sensitive. The fact that you have different body parts, and you cannot refuse to do nude mannequin activities, are the characteristics of the modeling industry, and are also the prerequisite for joining a real company as a model. The first lesson in all art schools is "liberating nature", and the teacher will teach you this content. Of all the girls who graduated from art schools, no one will refuse to take any shots or be any model. And since you did not graduate from a professional school, you do not have this foundation, so I must explain it to you. Therefore, in an interview for amateurs, emphasizing this should be true, and not mentioning it should be false. Because scammers are afraid of scaring you away by mentioning this, who are they looking for to defraud you of money?
