Shenma Taobao model, Weibo big V model, chest exhibition model, MOKO model, as well as peripheral models, party models and Showgirl under the banner of models. Just look at these models and don't take them seriously.
Formal models usually go to formal model agencies to sign up (I'll talk about wild models later), so I won't call the names of big companies. If you want to know the names of models in major fashion magazines in the world, you will indicate the name of the agency.
80% of the awl faces you see are self-named models.
Because I have been abroad for many years, there is no way to update the current price and market. Watch the fun if you are interested, don't take it seriously, just make do.
Based on female models, male models want to say something.
●●●●●●●● Type ●●●●●●●●● ●
(1) aircraft model
◆
Female: The height requirement is above 165, and it is better not to exceed 175.
Male: The height requirement is above 175, and it is better not to exceed 185.
Below 165, most of the body proportions are not good-looking. Of course, some flat molds in Japan are not even 160, but some people shoot the effect of 170+, depending on the proportion of the figure.
Not only female 175, but male 185, many manufacturers' sample clothes are not that big.
Big names are beyond the scope of this article.
To be a plane model, the first conditions are: face should be photogenic, face should be photogenic, and face should be photogenic. The secondary conditions are: changeable style, changeable style, changeable style.
When shooting flat, most of the makeup should be light, without false eyelashes, double eyelids and obvious shadows, or the makeup should be exquisite, otherwise the film can't be repaired. Not to mention boys, there are not many places where makeup can be adjusted.
Therefore, the facial features of the model are very important. It's not that you can shoot a plane just because you look good in life. Instead, you should have a camera face. Small face is the premise, three-dimensional is not necessary. Let's go back to the first one, face mirror. Look at the female stars, most of them meet this requirement, but they are not tall enough.
Many plane female models I know are very ordinary, which can be said to be too ordinary. No makeup, they are just handsome passers-by. After makeup, I became a different person, and being photographed was simply from person to god. All kinds of amazing!
Most of these girls are low-key and don't like taking selfies. Think about it, the profession is to go home and take photos and take selfies. Are you tired? Of course there is love, after all, there is no absolute thing, ha. . .
◆
Why do I only talk about plane here, not film and television? Because most advertising companies that shoot movies and television prefer to find small actors rather than models. Because:
First, performance is technology, and models may not be able to perform.
Second, taking pictures is good, but making movies is not necessarily good. Taking pictures is not necessarily good.
Some people just look good in that dynamic state, while others look good in static state. You just need to know which angle you are good at, and taking pictures can basically handle it. However, filming can't have too serious dead ends.
Film and television makeup is relatively light, compared with film and television, flat makeup is still relatively strong.
There are many plastic surgery for airplane models. Look at Angelababy, she is a model of plastic surgery. Those that are too fake, represented by MOKO models, what prostheses poke the ceiling, the chin can be used to hoe the ground, and the eyes are as big as ET. Party A doesn't like them at all, and a large number of beautiful women with natural characteristics can't pick them. Who has time to shoot your big fake face?
(2) Runway model
Female: The height requirement is more than 172, preferably not more than 182.
Male: The height requirement is above 180, and it is better not to exceed 190.
Height requirements are above 172 for women, above 180 for men, above 182, and above 190 are not good-looking. Because the clothes are too big to look good, imagine the difference between size 36 and size 42 high heels.
Of course, you don't have to reach 172 to be a model. Look at the face, the figure, the proportion, the catwalk, the temperament, and so on!
There is a supermodel named Devon Aoki, who was born in New York, USA. She is the shortest supermodel in the world, only 170. Deeply loved by Lafayette, she was among the top 50 because she has a maverick and magical face!
There are relatively few cosmetic operations in the play. Look at Liu Wen and Du Fu. They are all original goods.
First, the program is full of heavy makeup, false eyelashes, super thick foundation and exaggerated shadows, just like painted skin. Anyway, it's far away, and it doesn't need to be too delicate at all.
Second, the show does not need the model's face to be the same, but also pursues the beauty of personality.
(3) Special models
Underwear model, leg model, hand model, foot model, fitting model, etc. Even now, there are models that specialize in "chest exhibition station cars".
The entry requirements of these models depend on the special requirements of her field.
PS:
◆ About figure:
First of all, apart from underwear models, basic big breasts are difficult to be qualified for this job. Except for the bust model.
Secondly, losing weight depends on physical fitness. I have seen people who are not fat, and I have seen people who only eat boiled cabbage for four years.
◆ About age:
This is an industry that fights for youth, thinking that cameras are really cruel.
Basically, 13, a little girl from abroad, joined the profession at the age of 4, and now there is this trend in China. I know a girl, 14 years old, who entered the business, shiny and smooth, less than 20 years old, with tears in her eyes. ...
Basically, I changed careers at the age of 25, unless I got to the top. If you don't get along well, others will look down on you if you don't change careers.
●●●●●●●●●●● Process ●●●●●●●
I won't introduce the operation of big companies. There must be fewer supermodels in economic companies like stars. All supermodels have their own prices. According to the individual quotation, ordinary models are quoted according to the head.
◆ The basic process is:
The company takes orders → the customer interviews the model → the person is appointed → the fitting → the rehearsal → the makeup → the performance.
The short 20-minute program you saw may have been tossed back and forth, and 1 week is not enough.
Sometimes, one side, two sides, rehearsal 3 or 4 times, some performances are in different places, even interviews are in different places.
◆ Talking about Fashion Week Interview:
Now it's a big interview, which is much more convenient. All of a sudden, the models of 1k+ converged. Just like the imperial examination.
This scene, isn't it a bit, that what? Ha! Deja vu?
Ha, ha, ha, feel familiar and hit the wall!
A foreign girl who came to ask my rabbit for gold. . . .
This, I really wear too much! I've seen men only wear boxer shorts in a year's interview. This sucks. Kouheng!
It turns out that when there is no big interview, it is often very miserable. A fashion week, dozens of brands, several models, dozens of interviews in three days.
The scene is awesome. At China University, the main venue of Beijing Hotel: fitting on the left, rehearsing on the right, setting up a stage at home, someone sleeping in a chair, tidying clothes backstage, and interviewing in the corridor outside. It is often funny for models to wear heavy makeup and shuttle between two hotels by subway.
◆ Some interview tidbits:
◆ To reveal the truth of the industry:
These are really not migrant workers, but supermodels!
Stay up late, rehearse, and don't eat in order.
Squatting at will, eating a box lunch and falling asleep in various shapes and places is the most real state behind this aboveboard industry. . . .
Unexpected, right? Ha ha laugh ...
●●●●●●●● Prosperity, low season ●●●●●●
Brand launch conference
They are released in two seasons: spring, summer, April and May, autumn, winter and September 10 is the peak season, and there are no big orders at other times. But the list keeps coming, all kinds of strange shows. Shopping mall show, wedding dress show and so on.
Clothing plane shooting
Shooting is earlier than the press conference, usually one to two months in advance. Every year is also two seasons, autumn and winter and spring and summer. Generally, winter photographs the spring and summer of a year, and summer photographs the autumn and winter of this year. So plane shooting is very hard, and many of them are on location. Basically, I wear cotton-padded jackets to bask in the sun on dog days, and I shoot summer clothes on three or nine days, which is very cold.
In addition to clothing, there are many other categories in the plane list, such as drinks, food and home appliances, which are becoming more and more complicated and the time is scattered, not as centralized and fixed as programs.
Film and television advertisement
There is no fixed time, and there is usually a small peak season at the end of the year.
●●●●●●●●●●● Cost ●●●●●●
Some companies use the monthly payment system, and some companies give it on the spot. The price and time will be agreed before.
◆ Plane:
Plane shooting is generally calculated by "days", and some are calculated by "half a day".
External mold and large mold are calculated by "hour".
The worst thing is that according to the list, it is how much the list is fixed, whether it is shooting for 3 days or 3 hours.
At that time, in 2006 and 2007, a popular plane model in a second-tier city earned 7 or 8k a month, and it was not a big problem to reach 1W, but it was not the whole year, and the income before and after the Chinese New Year was 0.
◆ Display:
Generally calculated according to the number of games. How much is a performance? But it includes: interview, makeup fitting, rehearsal and performance. These links, in fact, the average time consumed, the price is really not expensive and there is a conscience in the industry, which will pay for rehearsal and fitting. I've only seen one such brokerage firm.
In 2006 and 2007, second-tier cities, with better qualifications, can break W in peak season and 2K in off-season.
If the exhibition machine is together, I know one, about 2 weeks every month. I'm just tired like a ghost every day ...
◆ Line price:
Every city is different and there is no standard, which depends entirely on the economic level and industry level of the city. Therefore, in order to be economical, many companies have adopted the practice of seconding models across regions.
After all, China is so big that there is a high demand for the modeling industry. Especially in Humen, Guangdong, Quanzhou, Fujian, Hangzhou, Zhejiang and other clothing, shoes and hats manufacturing centers. Is the largest clothing, shoes and hats base in China, so there are many model companies doing business in these factories around.
However, after 2008, the global economy began to slump, which greatly affected the trade volume of the clothing industry. The modeling industry, which has flourished for nearly 10 years, has also been greatly affected. All brands and companies are reducing their expenses, and the first thing to do is publicity. It's said that the big brands that were able to hold a show at 100w before have never held a show in the past two years, and the ordering meeting will directly use plastic models.
It turns out that only the Chinese New Year is the off-season. According to former colleagues, 1 has no business all the year round.

Wild model is not a derogatory term, but a state, the so-called state without broker contract. Many models who can toss around by themselves have a wide range of ways and many friends, but they don't earn as much as wild models after signing the contract.
Some people, after signing the death contract, are absolutely not allowed to carry out any activities outside this brokerage company. Once there is something wrong with the brokerage company and there is no job at all, will it starve to death? Or, if you sign a death contract, the company will block many job opportunities, even if you think it is ok, the company will not let you go.
In addition, wild models can also become brokers to receive activities, not only earning money from models, but also earning commissions from brokers. Wild money is settled on the spot, which is an advantage. .
