i ask this question all the time to anybody in the business of producing content cuz i really wanna know the truth. I trust the two guys who shoot for me, i don't think there are two guys who shoot more content than these guys, they are shooting practically 7 days a week. I'm a Jew, I don't like to pay top dollar for ANYTHING so I'm always asking my guys about the model fees, can I get girls cheaper. I've spoken to video guys who do tell me they can get girls for cheap.

But my guys say it's a shitty way to do business, you get a bad reputation amongst the models and you will eventually fuck yourself up. Those prices are nowhere near the prices girls who work for Wanton Girls get. Plus my guys work mostly through agencies so we are able to get some good treatment when the new fresh faces arrive. My guys won't cut out an agency on their fee which is $75 standard.

But if the girls are stupid enough to sell their asses for $100 or $200 bucks for an anal scene that's their choice. Nobody will ever hire them for more, they'll be cannon fodder.

I want to hire Taylor Rain, really cute teen looking girl, it's minimum $700 plus $75 for ONE straight vaginal sex scene. That's what both my guys say. Are there guys better connected or sleazier who can hire this girl for $300 or $400 bucks? I dunno. It sounds to me like it might be so.

But anyway, when you shoot as much as my guys do, it pays to have a good reputation cuz fresh new models are needed practically every day and there really aren't as many cute girls as people think out there willing to do this kind of work. If the pool of cute girls in LA is 100 at any given time, just think of all the video and web companies shooting content now - that's why you see Cassie's and Lexie's on every site you bump into.
Girls who work for cheap will be overexposed within a month.
Even girls who don't work for cheap become overexposed but no on websites, those girls work for the Anabolics, the Evil Angels etc
and become name pornstars. Those girls can then parlay their name into a paysite, feature dancing money etc.
Montreal seems to be the same way now , i see the same Quebec girl faces on site after site.

When RKMedia and OxCash come to California to shoot, all the girls want to shoot for them because they pay the going rate, i'm assuming the same price we pay.

I don't know what quiet pays for girls to do scenes for his site but Aurora Snow ain't doing video for anything less than full price. quiet do you buy total ownership to your movies or do these guys retain video rights while you get exclusive Internet rights? maybe it's a friend of hers and she'll work cheaper but i doubt it, she's pretty sharp for a porn girl.

it does gnaw at me, the whole price thing, cuz i really don't know who's full of shit and who's telling the truth.
