if everything is clear with this first set let me know so that I'll continue typing
Richmond: alright ... you may continue
Associate Producer:
4. Once you arrive we then check you into your hotel where we present you the contract along with the concept paper.
5. If you sign the contract, we pay you IMMEDIATELY 50% OF YOUR TALENT FEE IN CASH. We never pay in checks
6. AFter that we have our shooting which only takes about a day. The longest is 2 days but we never go as far as 2 days.
7. If everything is complete and everything is double checked and there are no more things to re shoot we then pay you the remaining balance again in cash.
The talent fees are as follows:
Commercials - US$2,000
Print ads - US$1,000

The faster that you can send us your photos the sooner that we can have projects for you.
The type of photos (at least 30 photos so that we can choose which is the best) that I want you to update are as follows:
Casual
Rugged
Trunks
Underwear
Before you ask a question, do you think the above mentioned policies is fair or not?
AGAIN PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT WE PAY YOU BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING, OK?
Richmond: everything's fair so far ... you may continue.
Associate Producer: have you done any sort modeling in the past?
Richmond: well, i've got an offer before but then since I'm not yet ready that time, I refused. Just recently, I've got an offer from a talent scout to join a "Talent Search" but me, being too busy with my studies, my sched didnt fit in. However, I do host events a lot (it doesnt require much time). Now, I think, I can make it. (if given the priviledge).
Associate Producer: so no background in modeling then?
Richmond: i do ... school affairs. haha ... title holder for searches.
Associate Producer: do you already have your passport?
Richmond: I am currently working on it.
Associate Producer: the moment you're approved and we've made the necessary paper work with the immigration department here in Singapore for your travel papers and working documents we'll send these via courier and send you over cash for your travel taxes along with processing on your side for approval with your government. Also we will be sending you the plane tickets so that both of you can travel to singapore for each of the projects. The reason for this is we need to present to you first the paper before you approve of any contract so that you can still have the opportunity to turn back if you don't want the project.
