Agencies in Europe VS Agencies in America

Post by Uriel »

Pierre can you please explain why it is so different? Why do agencies in Europe and America work differently? It seems in America the girls have more control over who they work with, and in Europe not so much. I have heard contrasting stories from models who work for model agencies on how their work is proposed. For example the Brillbabes agencies. When they propose work to their models, they will send the girl a message on whatsapp about the work they have been offered and what scene will do and where they will work and how much they will get and the directions of the place....but...they have no idea which performer they will be working with until they show up on set. But in America the girls already know before hand, which performer they will be working with, so they have time to research them before they show up on set. In Europe, what if the girl doesn't like the performer? She still has to work with him because she doesn't know who he is until she gets there. Why is it like this in Europe girls don't have much power to choose their scene partners? In America the girls know before their prooosed scene who their partner is and they can decide if they want to do it or not.

It's clear there are many difference between US agencies and European agencies.

The main one in my opinion is the fact in USA they retain a big amount of money ( often 10 K ) and give you "kill fee" when in Europe it does not exist or is very small ( 300 euros at Brillbabes )

About performers, it's same, in the way the agent receive the boys test the day before and the girl know who is she working with. Obviously when she doesn't know the performer she rarely make a problem, it's only about girl who refuse to do IR work that of course it's important to be told.
When a girl is become a pro she knows nearly everybody and has a list of guys she refuse to work with in case there are !!!
In USA the girl know the nape of the guy but when it's a new girl, it's same like in Europe she goes to the shoot and only if really she feels something is wrong she ask not work with the guy !!!
A girl in USA or Europe can always ask to change a performer if she doesn't like him.
But after if we go on details, I can say Brillbabes is much more picky and serious than many other agencies who really don't pay attention about who is what. I know everyone in this Business and sometime I am speechless to see what some "agent" can request from the girls but the top agencies like Brillbabes, Sandy's Model, ModelMania or NikkiModels they take care ...

And in L-A it's same, you have top agencies very serious and some pretended agents who just do shit.

It's same everywhere on the world !!!

Interesting but many things are wrong !!!
For instance a DP in USA is not 4000 $ but 1500 to 2500 $.
A first can be negociate for more but it's rare .
