At around 10 a.m. yesterday, on the overpass near the intersection of Huashan Road and Yan'an Zhong Road, several men with notes stuck on them reading "Looking for Nude Models in Shanghai" were recruiting models openly, offering a price ranging from 800 to 1,000 yuan per hour, hoping that the models would give bold performances at exhibitions.
Zhu Bo, the planner of this event, said that the move was to attract public attention by creating a hype about recruiting nude models under the name of behavioral art and charity to help girls suffering from leukemia. Investigations by reporters found that this was not the first daring move by the planner. In May 2007 and January this year, "recruit nude model" events had been carried out twice in the bustling areas of Chengdu, casting doubt on its motives.
