IS THE GAME WORTH PLAYING FOR?
Unfortunately, many people think that making porn is the easiest way to make money and are not surprised by the wealth of porn actresses, which is acquired in the literal sense of the word by hard work. How else could they do it? You don't have to do anything, you just have fun and get paid for it. Let's face it, it's not quite like that. Or rather, not at all! Getting into adult cinema is no problem, especially not for women! A pretty face, a figure with appetizing or touching forms, the ability to aghast in time and roll their eyes – the key to success.
It's hard not to get caught up in a shakedown and end up in a serious studio. There are entire recruitment forums on the DarkNet.
Attention is paid to female students, single young mothers, and girls whose tapes are replete with depressive moods. Vulgar subpages, such as "overheard", are actively monitored. Once someone starts talking about how to get into this business, they get pencilled in. Naturally, the first thing to be weeded out are fake accounts and accounts which may be suspected to not belong to the person. From there it is a matter of technique. Get to know each other – communicate – make an offer. It's a lot harder for guys to get into this industry. Guys for filming try to look for among his acquaintances or trusted people. Often the director of photography himself prefers to be filmed, which is more economical for him.
It also happens that there is a "contest" when guys are invited to participate in filming with the already little-known actress. But, to do this, guys have to pay for the fun. Those who are good at what they do, so to speak, and have a "core" will be offered a role. However, the more serious studios, where everything is adult, guarantee a good salary.
They don't recruit from the street very often. Girls are usually bought from small studios. Only sometimes they might be invited from the street to hold a casting session to find new talent. If the candidate is really interesting, she will be invited to shoot. Guys don't have a chance of getting into a good studio just by advertising. So how's the pay?
The number of shoots is limited only by physical ability. The serious studios pay more, considerably per shooting day. The number of days per week can be a multiple of the days of the week. In Europe, the rates are times higher, and the number of shooting days is limited to 3 per week. That's the "easy money". Is it worth it? It's up to you to decide, as well as sorry for what you've done, if you have to, and to blame for all your troubles, and there are many, only yourself. So it's only fun on the screen. In reality, as they say, the job is so hard that one cannot straighten one's back. The millions earned this way are too heavy.
