How Much Does a Model Make in One Day?
When I had dinner with a friend yesterday, I was told that the models in the 2008 Beijing Auto show could make as much as 10,000RMB/day.
What? My first reaction was: Are you kidding me? This is a ridiculous price to pay. I was thinking that some of the models may even do it for free if they are just started in modeling career. Beijing auto show attracts at least 200,000 people. That is 200,000 people look at the model. Another 10 million people will look at the model from the pictures posted online and on news paper. I would think that it is a perfect opportunity to show the world. Plus, the resume of a Mercedes Benz model in 2008 Beijing Auto show will open a lot of doors for future career development.
My educated guess is that an average car model will make around 500RMB/day. An international model (mostly are Russian) will make around 1,000RMBday. Nothing is close to 10,000RMB/day.
