Hangzhou Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd. was asked to pay 1,680 for a model shoot, so I paid 700.

Every company that you can come into contact with that recruits models is a fake job that defrauds money. None of them are real. Don’t even touch them. As long as you go and take a look, they will find a way. Let you pay obediently. Those who have already paid the money will not want it back even if they are killed.

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 cannot be refused. So if none of the above situations apply to you, you will basically have no access to real companies.

I am a former high-level executive in the Beijing entertainment industry and have now retired. For questions about how to participate in the free preliminary auditions organized by industry insiders to become a model, please search for my other similar answers here. You can also check out my pinned posts in the Amateur Model Bar, Actor Recruitment Bar, and Extras Bar (note the two words "bar") on Baidu Tieba, which all contain my specific information. Since the article is too long, I won’t go into details here. You can post there to communicate after reading.
