There's a report out today about a Chinese actress, Zhang Yu. Evidently she's been victim of the casting couch within the Chinese Entertainment Industry. Zhang Yu had videotaped her and her friend being taken advantaged of by a Director or Casting Director for a role in a film. She's now coming out against the film studio with the video proof. I guess she didn't get the part.
My question is, would you be willing to take part in this "casting couch" to better your career? (or maybe not, meaning there are still no promises after the couch as Zhang Yu found out.) Would it matter if it meant your income had the opportunity to make you millions, depending on your success and talent?

By the way-apply this question to your own profession, not necessarily just to an acting scenerio.

I don't know if the "casting couch" would further my science career, but I'd do it to move ahead if necessary.

Well I don't act so I would say it wouldn't apply to me...
It really is just being exploited...I wouldn't do that to myself.
