Model Media (simplified Chinese: 麻豆传媒; traditional Chinese: 麻豆傳媒; pinyin: Mádòu Chuánméi) was a US-registered pornographic website producing films in Chinese.[1][2] It recruited porn actors and actresses in mainland China and Taiwan. The content of its films are mainly inspired by the storylines of Japanese adult videos (JAVs) or well-known East Asian movies.[3] Although most actors are Taiwanese, they were required by filmmakers to speak in mainland Chinese accents; the covers, advertisements, and subtitles of all films are all in Simplified Chinese.[4]
At the end of 2020, its app was on the list of those announced by the Cyberspace Administration of China to be taken down.[5] In January 2022, Shanghai police arrested 24 members of Model Media in Guangdong and Sichuan.[6][7]
On April 2, 2026, Model Media declared its closure.[
