How to be a model without being cheated

Don’t apply to any company that recruits models to avoid being scammed. Models are not recruited that way. Models are only coordinated through professionals within the industry, and there is no such thing as recruiting amateurs. Genuine companies don't recruit. What they do recruit are fake ones that defraud people of money. None of them are real. Don't even touch them.

So what exactly is the professional path in the industry? If we exclude the two negligible ways within the industry, including going to art schools and having relationships with trustees, the only remaining option is to go to Beijing to find free auditions from charity figures in the industry, and participate in their permanent daily free auditions for a long time. . It's just that this event only accepts girls, and since it is a unified audition and selection of actors and models, the requirements must be girls who are actresses and models, who can be taken in public on location and will not refuse any shots. There are no other conditions.

In fact, it is the same in Beijing. Except for the clients who directly use models, which may be genuine, all companies that recruit models are all scammers. Don’t listen to what laypeople say. If something is registered with the industrial and commercial industry, it means it’s real. If it’s certified, it means it’s real. It’s all nonsense. In order to deceive others, lest others say they are irregular, those scam companies have done more complete procedures than anyone else. They have industrial and commercial registration, industry licenses, and legal websites. They use photos of themselves with celebrities to lead the way, and even find some parents to guide them on the spot. Bringing your children to piano lessons may seem genuine at first glance, but they set up the company just to engage in fraudulent recruitment. No matter how complete the procedures are, they still lie to you without any negotiation!

A real, 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 contestants who have graduated from professional colleges and major auditions, they must at least go through free preliminary auditions organized by industry insiders and see the photos they take of you with professional requirements to prove it. Only if you are truly 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 must not be refused. So if none of the above situations apply to you, you will basically have no access to real companies. Note, if you are a man, just pretend I didn't say anything.

So if you are a girl, you must first go to Beijing to participate in the industry's purely compulsory free preliminary audition event, and this audition is not necessarily available elsewhere. Moreover, you must not have any types of models that you refuse to do, no scenes that you refuse to shoot, and if you are a minor, you must have written consent from your parents before they can accept you. Why is there a requirement not to refuse nudity? This is determined by the characteristics of the actor and model industry, and teachers in art schools will also teach you this. And if you haven't gone to art school, you can only train yourself by participating in such activities to achieve the effect of going to art school.

So the purely voluntary free preliminary audition work in this circle has professional requirements for models that you amateurs must accept, including graphic models. This requirement is that you must not refuse to be naked in public on location! Because it is difficult to determine in advance what model you will be in the future when participating in the preliminary audition activities, and there is no one who only does one type of model. Any modeling agency will accept any model, and you will be a model if you meet any model. There is no way to pick and choose. Therefore, under this premise, as a model, being naked in public is a situation that needs to be faced frequently, and it may even become a commonplace norm.

This does not mean that every kind of model must be done naked, but it means that no matter what model you are doing, you cannot avoid being naked. For example, clothing models often need to show sexy underwear and expose everything. What's the difference between wearing clothes and not wearing clothes? Many times, dressing is done in public, and there is no way to avoid anyone. Many dressing assistants are male, and makeup artists are also male. They often need to apply makeup to every inch of your body. Some designers even need to do it on-site. It is very common to modify the clothes on your body, temporarily embellishing them with needle and thread, and photographers surround you to take pictures. In some modeling activities where Chinese and foreign models gather, it is very common to see models running around naked in the rush. There is no way to avoid the presence of so many men when a model changes clothes, and men have long been accustomed to the fact that no one is looking at you. Moreover, in foreign modeling events now, female models appear naked and show off hats, shoes, jewelry, etc. No one can say whether China will do the same in the future. Therefore, if you don’t have the ability to expose yourself in public as a model, you won’t be able to do this business at all. Therefore, auditions are all required to be completely naked in front of the public. Otherwise, how can you prove that you can do this job? Anyone who cannot do this will be eliminated during the audition.

The same goes for graphic models. Mannequins also belong to graphic models. Mannequins are the main task of any modeling agency. There is no model who does not do human models. Whoever says not to do it will immediately be banned. Relegated to limbo. If you do it, you will make a lot of money, but if you don’t, you will be eliminated. Who is so stupid as to not do it? None of the girls who are working as models today are not doing these models. Although they only say that they are ordinary models to the outside world, and they do not even tell their friends and family the truth, in fact, no one who does not do it will not be able to survive in the industry. .

Therefore, it is normal and necessary to tell you during the audition that you cannot refuse any type of model, and that you are required to be naked in public on location. If this does not work, you will definitely lose at the starting line!

In fact, only girls who have gone to art schools can meet these requirements, because the first lesson when they go to art schools is "liberating nature". The teacher tells them this and tells them that they must After learning the naked way of life, they were led to perform naked performance art in public on campus and skinny-dipping with boys. Over the course of several years, they were completely accustomed to the naked way of life. Therefore, the training method of the free preliminary audition activities in the industry is to enable you to achieve the effect of attending an art school, and the talents that come out are all top-notch. If you are sure that you can do it, why not attend this event for free? Isn’t it much better than paying a high price to attend a model training class?

It can be seen that a tried-and-tested touchstone for distinguishing authenticity when recruiting models online is the prerequisite for girls to engage in the modeling industry - they must not refuse to be photographed naked. Only if they can do this can they talk about other things. . Unless you are applying for a job at a unit that directly uses models, and this time the model does not need to be naked, you may not need to mention this. Otherwise, it depends on whether they tell you. If you join a modeling agency as a model, no matter what model you do, you will inevitably expose sensitive parts of your body. At the same time, you cannot refuse to do nude mannequin activities. These are the characteristics of the modeling industry. , which is also a prerequisite for joining a real company as a model. 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?

But these activities seem to be only available in megacities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and other individual cities. And because it is an industry-wide event that is not publicized to the public, there is no official website, and there is no unified contact information. They all rely on the personal relationship between individual photography volunteers and individual modeling agencies, so it is difficult to find. I don’t know where you are from. , if you can’t find it locally and can do it without refusing to be a model of any kind, you can come to me in Beijing. I am a former high-level executive in Beijing's entertainment industry. Now retired, I am currently volunteering as an elderly volunteer in Beijing to directly film free preliminary auditions for you. This event is open to both actors and models. Whoever takes a fancy to you can participate in their event.

You control your own time, and it doesn't interfere with your normal work and study. For us, it is mainly a way to be content and happy in old age, enrich our retirement life, and achieve the purpose of exercising while shooting outdoors.

Since those employers come to me from time to time to view films and select people, and every time they come, they only view recent ones, so if you only shoot a small amount in a short period of time, you are likely to be rejected by them. miss. Only by insisting on auditioning and filming information films with me for a long time, so that they have your information every time they come, will you have a better chance of being seen and selected by them.

Because you are forced to do it, you must not be good at taking pictures. If you can't take good pictures, do you expect others to use you?

I myself have a certain reputation in the free audition community in Beijing. I have been doing this charity work for decades. Many well-known artists have come from my audition activities. If you search on the Internet, you will find nothing but malicious attacks by some vests from the scammer companies whose jobs I lost. Apart from the abuse, no artist who has actually auditioned with me has ever complained about any specific irregularities on my part. Of course, it does not rule out that there are some girls who have never been to my place, but were sold and counted money for others, and I can't do anything about it. I believe that those who are clean will self-clean, and this is my pride.

I have made it very clear about the conditions for those who participate in free auditions. Anyone who does not meet the conditions, that is, is not a girl, or you also have scenes that cannot be filmed, and other than auditions Please do not disturb any other matters. I am older and suffer from a variety of fatal diseases. I can still barely move now, but I may not be able to last long, so any girls who are planning to make a reservation in the mid-to-long term, please During this period, you kept contacting me to confirm that I could still shoot again. And for those who contacted me quickly as soon as they saw this answer and came over in time, it shows that you are indeed sincere. I will bless you!
