The new AV law is coming on strong. Production companies are afraid actresses will back out, and actresses are afraid they won't get paid. What will happen?
Many people misunderstand; the AV industry isn't completely passive and resigned to its fate. Behind the scenes, they did try to prevent the new law, but to no avail. Now that the new law has passed, to avoid violating regulations, in addition to suspending scheduled filming, some production companies have come up with a new strategy:
That is "AV Actress Reverse Offer"~
This idea was proposed by the production company Honjo. In the past, to find actresses, production companies would issue offers to agencies. After obtaining the actress's consent, both parties would conduct an interview to discuss performance details, and filming would only begin after the collaboration was confirmed (yes, some actresses would fail the interview). However, this "AV actress reverse offer" is entirely the opposite; the AV actress specifies the production company she wants to work with and the films she wants to shoot...
Why include her social media following count? Because production companies want actresses to promote their own work, since films aren't selling well these days, they want actresses to leverage social media to save on budgets—of course, this is also a form of censorship. Actresses can criticize production companies, but companies can't just accept everything. The simplest and most direct way is to filter by social media follower counts; those with too few followers are out.

Therefore, actresses who want to get roles can use the format provided by the production company to recommend themselves. Let's use "Amano Midori" as an example: Although she has to introduce herself, because there are so many actresses in this industry, the production company may not know every single one, so you need to state your name first if you want to be in a film; next is the director she hopes to work with and the type of film she wants to shoot. Amano Midori said that her most desired director is Mamezawa Mametaro, and she wants to shoot a drama film with one king and two queens. She wants NTR and lesbian themes. Finally, she includes her social media following count:

Then, as you know, there are a lot of actresses who want to work, so this idea immediately attracted a lot of responses from actresses: For example, Yume Utsutsune (who debuted as Yua Amane) from Nanpa Japan not only said she wanted to film a project about raping a director, but also mentioned that she had told her family and classmates she was working as an AV actress—a perverted girl with a huge yearning for the AV industry; while Mary Tachibana, besides saying she doesn't pick and choose directors and can act in almost anything, also attached photos to remind the production companies that she had lost ten kilograms in the past six months and had a very sexy figure!
So, everyone wants to survive…
