WTF!?!!? LA Porn Girls Charging $2,000 plus per scene! WTF?
 

What is going on with porn actresses charging $2,000 or higher for a single male boy girl scene?

WTF!?! With a bad economy, one would think the rates in LA would be a little lower.

Any thoughts on this?

I charge $10,000,,,,,It's only words:2 cents:

recession over.

thats overpricing........:2 cents:

who are these pornstars?

The ones that don't work much?

Well times are tough. Not too many people hiring... so you have to ask for more.

Oh wait, lower demand = lower prices. Well should anyway, crazy

...lmfao

Pretend you're buying a car, offer less then go somewhere else.


.

I feel you. But I've heard hire. 2,700 $

Some people seam to be willing to pay it.

You think this actress knows anything about economics! haha porn girls arent exactly known for their smarts...

(note: not all porn stars are dumb as I have hinted at, some are rather smart I am sure, don't take this literally)

Jenna Haze demands $3,000 per BG scene no anal, anal is more.

Chanel Preston Demands $2,000 BG scene no anal.

I'm all for the girls getting as much as they can. Everybody in this industry looks out for themselves....why shouldn't the girl? If she can get $2000 for a scene - she should ask for it. Not everybody can afford $2000 a scene....but not everybody can afford a Benz either.

Sounds more like the porn stars with NAMES can charge that much. If you post a name here then chances are I, or someone else, has heard of them, therefore: pay them more. But your run-of-the-mill 22 year old girl off the bus fron Nebraska four months and who's shot maybe three scenes total, now she's still GOTTA be $600-$800, right?

True story, if you can't afford the girl chances are your content isn't on the 'high-end' of the spectrum. No problem with that not everybody can be a Vivid or Wicked.

Except for one factor...if the girl doesn't make you one thin dime more.

I'd say pay anyone who can actually make sales for you based on her being in the scene a good fair price. If a girl has a big following and can bring in more money by her very presence then hell yeah.

In this day and age of piracy and every one of these girls being fucked in the ass in full scenes available for free everywhere...I simply wouldn't see paying a girl more money than she would be worth to my business.

Remember...everything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Right now content is so devalued from all this piracy and full member site rips that it would be a tough call to go paying 2 thousand dollars for a boy/girl scene.

Hell, it's almost to the point where you lose money if you pay them ONE dollar. :(

Not saying the girls aren't worth it in the talent and looks dept. I'm just saying are they worth it in the end result when the sales are added up, or would you make more profit using a super hot girl who doesn't charge as much.

EDIT: In other words it has nothing to do with being able to "afford" the girl. I can afford to rent a mansion for a few thousand dollars a day to shoot CM in. It would look GREAT! And everybody would slap me on the back and say how good it is. But it wouldn't make ONE more sale for me. Not one. So being able to afford something and then having it make business sense is two different things

i contacted a-list talent last week to get sunny lane's BG anal rate. $10,000 they said!! not joking!

Jenna Haze is quite known and hot, isn't she? So 3k for a day of her pussy drilling seems to be not that much... but well, I'm not a specialist and I might be wrong, guys above me know much more about this business for sure. :D

I totally agree! Everyone in EVERY industry is looking out for themselves!

I charge $20 for a BJ

I'll take ten. You can service me at the pool at XBiz Vegas. And I'll pay you in cash, cause that's how I roll. :pimp

Omg.. it's getting a bit gay here. :D

Vivid, Wicked, Brazzers, and Reality is not paying Jenna Haze or any other named girls $2,000 or higher just because everyone thinks they can afford it. Not happening!

Man, to many Captain Save A Ho's had to come into this board.

However, Robbie is dead on. I agree with ya 100%

Brand new girls have higher value in sales than any shot out name girls who have done interracial, anal, DP and everything in between. lol

Who and the hell would pay a fat ass like Sunny Lane 10k ? How funny!

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:helpme:helpme

Flying into Vegas 17th-20th for my friends bachelor party lol I wont make Xbiz this year I was hoping it would be a few days or overlap my trip after every show I need a 2 week recovery loll

Ill be in Vegas though on the 17th :pimp:pimp:pimp

Oh ok, I know who Mr. Happy is now.... :1orglaugh

It's called inflation, and it is the result of printing too much money.

All so a bunch of torrent and tube thieves can steal it and publish it to everyone for free.

What a bargain!

:(

Jenna Haze has been around for 9-10 years, and IMHO, is totally shot out. Sunny Lane, too, is shot out. The guys I shoot for value new girls over "name" girls. As far as I know, it's mostly websites that shoot more glamorous looking content and DVD companies who want better known girls.

Girls can ask anything they want; whether they get it or not is another matter. I can tell clients I can shoot them a b/g scene for $50,000; whether they hire me or not is another matter.

As usual an excellent response. A bigger picture response.

Want to save some serious $$$$$ on LA talent...its all about contacts ! this guy has them all.

Hit up this little known Eric and his crew....sweeten him up with a bucket of chicken and a few beers and your IN ! :thumbsup www.BookAPornstar.com

agree with Dean on this one - let the free market of supply and demand set the prices - if a girl wants to ask 3K a scene and gets 2 shoots a month and is happy with that than that's cool.

i always thought it was odd how there was this standard rate of $800 per girl for B/G whether she was a brand new face, a veteran nothing special girl or a star. like a cartel setting the price of a commodity.

those big name girls obviously do bring in sales, take a look at FreeOnes. JayRock showed me LexiBelle's Twitter the other day, she's a little industry unto herself - 26,000 fans following her.

This is true...It's just a Risk/Return thing....I've shot girls for $20 that have sold like hotcakes....Then I find a young one and pay her $100 because she's young and my audience isn't even excited....The only thing that matters when shooting content is PROFIT.

Cool...not for the gay bj though of course. lol

CM and Ron Jeremy are the pornstar "hosts" at a big Swingers Convention the 15th through the 20th here in Vegas...so we'll be on the strip but kinda busy. Maybe we'll cross paths somewhere this year.

sounds good man Ill be tied up with "civlians" lololl we shall cross paths Robbie!!!!!!!!!!

I work for $20 an inch.

I?ve paid some of these rates in the past and I?ve learned that they ask for the higher rate because they don?t want to do it. In some cases, shooting porn seems to be a stepping stone to making more money escorting.

I actually make more money with new girls than with veteran porn stars.

When I shot Briana Banks recently, she said in her prime she was making $25k a scene. Most really hot escorts I know charge $1k and up and thats not even being filmed and put all over the net. Why would any sane girl fuck in some porn for cheap? I sure as hell wouldnt. Lets face it, the girl makes the money. No one is buying porn for your directorial skills or the fucking guy. Dont be a cheap ass.

Standard practice in any business if you don't really want the job is to quote a ridiculously inflated price that will either mean you don't get the job or you get to do it and laugh about how much you were paid.
Question for everyone now based on that-

From a consumer point of view I've quite often seen someone brand new and found them much more desirable than an over familiar face.

But with Hollywood a familiar face can sell a film.

Is there some sort of reversal in porn in that new and unknown is measurably more popular/profitable than old and familiar - even though old and familiar can have a fan following?

Two replies that sum it all up. The girl has the right to charge what she wants to charge and the producer has the right to pay what he wants to pay. If the two do not meet then they don't work together.

I think a lot of the comments here are based on what people can afford to pay.

I've never relied on agencies for my talent and always shot brand new girls. If you want them brand new there are two ways to get them. Pay more then the others via agents, like those paying $2,000 a scene, or find them for yourself. That's what the agents do.

their pussies and cocks are made form gold

indeed:2 cents::2 cents:

When Eva and I first came to Czech we were paying 10,000 Krown a day. We soon learned that many others were only willing or able to pay 5,000. Did we lower what we paid so they were not priced out? No way, we wanted to get the best girls first because they were worth more money.

Years later Internet companies started coming here and started to pay 15,000 to 20,000 Krown a day. Did we moan and ask them to drop their rates or get on with finding girls to shoot for the price we were willing to pay?

We upped our efforts to find new girls to work for 10,000 Krown a day.

this my thinking as well, that and treating all concerned with as much professional concern as possible

yes it's about a clear understanding of your goals and objectives.... my objective is to profit from content production. lower production cost = higher net profit.

I shoot who I am told to shoot regardless of 'hotness' I am NOT a fan, I am a producer. when the budget crosses my 'expected net profit threshold' I walk away. there are many many many models available to shoot.

if an agent can get a producer to 'pay out the ass' for a shoot, more power to them.

we get fixed prices for our content - so we offer fixed prices to the girls. they can take it or leave. and not only once we had girls who demanded absurd money and came back later for the regular price when rent was due.

that's the name of the game.... I know a guy shooting scenes for $300, for both the male and female talent BTW. at 2am when the dope runs out...

We adopted the same approach when we came here. The only downside was the magazine market where you could get a girl book her for 5 days and shoot the ass off her for magazines. But the girls usually came around to working for what they're offered when their "newness" wore off.

Yes, but Hollywood doesn?t shoot 20 movies a month with same faces and saturate the market with it.

Offer them $2k on the phone, then when they come in say you changed your mind and it's $1k. Trust me, they'll jump for you. If not, pick up the phone and call the next girl.

10.00 per scene is a great price Mister Peabody :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
