Is it possible to be a model without going to art school?

Of course, there are very few people who actually work as models who have gone to art school. It's just that if you want to be a model without going to art school, you need a certain process, and you have to distinguish between men and women to explain. Since you did not state your gender, in order to take care of the fact that most people who ask such questions are women, and there are really no channels for men to introduce, so here we can only introduce girls through channels.

Female flat models can be photographed in everything, and even human models are also flat models. If you want to be a graphic model, you can't be picky and picky. You can't refuse to do any model you are assigned to. If you want to be a model only for certain types of models, you can only contact clients one by one, but that is too inefficient. You may not be able to contact one every year, so it is basically impossible.

If you want to really be a model, you can only join a model team and they will assign you jobs. However, any reliable model team will accept any modeling activities and send you to do them. There may be any kind of models, but extremely low-level modeling activities like ordinary graphic models, because the remuneration is low and the money is small, there are very few such activities in any large-scale formed team. Instead, there are some human bodies that make a lot of money. Modeling activities are full of them. Once you are sent, you cannot refuse to do it. Although the modeling team can choose the scale independently on the surface, it is in vain. You can wait to be an ordinary model, but you will wait until your hair is white. , and can’t wait for the event. Did the team not receive these events? No, even if you were accepted, they would be picked up first by those models who often do big jobs, and you would have no chance at all. Therefore, you are tantamount to announcing that I no longer want to serve you, and leave on your own.

If you see many places claiming to recruit graphic models, clothing models, Taobao models, fitting models, online photo models, etc., you should pay attention to see whether they are using models themselves or whether they are using model companies and media The company is recruiting models. If it is an organization or individual that uses models, it may be true. If the company is recruiting models, it is actually specifically catering to your psychology of just being an ordinary model, and taking advantage of your weakness to defraud money. None of the fake job postings are real, so don’t even touch them.

Of course, if you can be a model that makes a lot of money and are willing to join a team, then a regular and reliable modeling company will not recruit externally. They will only sign new people through professional internal channels. They will not say If you have to sign up as a contestant who has graduated from a professional school and is a contestant in major talent shows, you must at least go through long-term training in voluntary 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. At the same time, if you participate in this free audition event, not only will a company sign you with luck, but you will also be able to find modeling activities directly for you even without a company signing. 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 it does not refuse to be photographed naked in public on location. So if none of the above situations apply to you, you will basically have no access to real companies.

Everyone wants to find a real and formal place to work as a model, but their professional requirements for models are difficult for you amateurs to accept, including graphic models. The requirements for the preliminary audition activities of this real channel in the industry are beyond your imagination. That is, 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 works as a 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, whoever 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!

This time you know that the real modeling agency you are looking for is not as simple as you thought, right? In fact, only girls who have attended art schools can meet these requirements, because the first lesson when they go to art school is "liberating nature". The teacher tells them this and tells them that they must learn to live naked in the future, and then He took them to do nude 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 or not. 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, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other individual cities. And because it is an event that is not open to the public in the industry, it is generally not publicized to the outside world, there is no official website, and there is no unified contact information. They all rely on the personal relationship between individual shooting volunteers and individuals in the modeling agency, 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.

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.

During the audition, I will arrange some sporadic performing arts activities for you, all of which are paid, so that you can experience, exercise, see, and accumulate, so as to prepare for your future acting career

Because you are forced to do it, you must not be good at shooting. If you can't shoot well, 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.
