Impact of GIO, LTP and NRX studio production stop

[dap-addict]

I open this thread in order to forsee what could happen now and prepare as users of either or both studios to the effects of both sad departures.

GIO (Prague, over 700 girls since Jan. 2015) will do no new bookings and stops scene production end of August probabely. Same applies for their sub labels GLab, XF etc.
They started re-releasing main GIO label old scenes, but they are clearly marked as such, so no scam. However, they already also fraudulently re-released old French LTV scenes.
They started releasing scenes of small studios of their actors like Ferrero Anal Experience, John Price Studio etc.
Releasing other smaller producers videos partly filmed in old GIO studios is their proclaimed plan for future.


LTP (Medellin, 55 girls, since Sept. 2021) stopped production already in May.
Since then they re-release only old scenes under 3 labels: LTP, Anal Teens and Bruno Films. Some are alternative camera views or alternative intros or multiple scene comps with only 1 cumshot end.
It's all complete scam!
LTP on social media claims to just be looking for a new Medellin studio.


NRX (Russia, 147 girls, since Aug. 2020) stopped production after police ride in March.
They first fraudulently re-released old scenes, but than stopped.
In social media they claim to be back soon.

Effects so far:
GIO: So far just slowing down releases, 1-2 day breaks with no releases at all.
Main Czech based competitor AGO didnt rise prices yet.

LTP: Main Colombian competitor NTP and their sub-label Lancelot Styles have risen TKT prices by up to 50%.

NRX: Local going rates went down up to 3-4 times.
Main also police raided Russian Competitor re-located to Romania within 4mt and resumed production there. So far they didnt change TKT prices.

On a more personal note this is my DAP shopping option loss:
LTP: 8 DAP / mt
NRX: 8 DAP / mt
Gio forcast: 16 DAP / mt

GIO production stop will ofc also have an effect on EKS exiled in Romania.
I'd expect EU girl DAP fees coming down a bit.

with this news, will we have to download all our owned videos as once the money stops rolling in , how long can we expect servers and storage space to be maintained

I imagine they will get some passive income from old scenes. There is a surprizing amount of zombie porn sites that stopped production and updates more than decades ago yet they keep the domain and fuctionality.

I think it's unlikely everything will just disappear one day, but that said, I download basically every scene I pay for no matter the website. I simply don't trust *any* platform to keep stuff online indefinitely.

Is this situation good or bad for AGO? What do you think?
His release rate very low right now.

Nick Rock just replied to a question showing him in Old Town of Dubai City on IGy that he was thinking of re-surrecting NRX!

On all accounts he is a complete asshole. And he already pulled scene remove and rerelease move just a week ago.

Well, to be fair, the type of porn that Nick created wasn't exactly the kind of porn you'd expect someone who was Mr. Sunshine and Rainbows to make. Sometimes you need an asshole (ironic, I know) to keep everyone else in line. Before everything went kaput, he managed a streamline of incredibly hot young girls, one more beautiful than the other, by giving them contracts that really paid out.

The girls wouldn't have been there if they didn't have good reason to be. And they also wouldn't have been there if was Mr. Sunshine and Rainbows either. So, yes, I'm not denying the fact that everything in the end went to shit, but the ride up to that point was fucking incredible, and one of the highlights in the entire history of porn.

What's the thing I said when this whole thing happened? I said that - most likely - Nick just needed some time away from the radioactive zone he was involved in. When police in Russia want to see you - you really, really, really don't want to see them. So, getting out and laying low may have been what he needed to do regardless. He made that tweet about not being interested in porn anymore - and being burnt out from it - which very well may have been part of what he needed to say to get the heat to die down - but, regardless, hardly a year later, the situation on the ground looks a lot different than what it was back then in many respects.

Since the whole slope down into quality hell AV/PB experienced at the beginning of the year - lots of things have happened - in large part I think to what people have said on this forum.

I think all the other studios always knew that NRX's scenes sold like hot cakes, but I think they may have attributed that to the girl's Nick was able to find in Russia. We made it perfectly clear that it was actually the entire production showcase that Nick put together - from the intro music - to the innocent-girl e-girl fashions - to the way the girls introduced themselves during that music - to the camera angles - and to the absolutely mega-hung actors - that there was a lot more going on there than just the girls being hot. And what did we see happen during that time?

EKS, Natasha Teen Studios, Mambo Perv, Latin Girls, and Yummy Studios all came around and started copying that exact same style. Not entirely 100% - but they did all start to take liberally from the lessons that Nick had taught from his time at NRX. What's happened then is that ...

What once made Nick's NRX special ... has now kind of become the standard. I mean - there is still than more than enough room for Nick to come back and do it better than everyone else (his year old productions still stand head and shoulders above everyone else's) - but, the distance between what he once offered and what everyone else is offering has closed in a bit. Nowhere close to all the way, but, what made him stand out like an American basketball player on a Japanese bus, may have now just turned into his head being above the other people on the bus, but not his entire chest and half his torso. Not only this, but ...

It's only been a year - and that ground in Russia is still (probably) pretty radioactive. It's not like he shows up back in Russia, opens a studio, and then everyone's just like, "Business as usual!" Whatever caused the mega meltdown to occur in the first place - Nick would have to make sure all those people are nowhere near where he would be starting out. And that's the key phrase there ... starting out.

He can't just come back, ring a bell, and then all the mega beautiful 14/10 rated teens start showing up to his front door. He probably needs to get all of his contacts built again, needs to get his scouts built up and in place, needs to get a studio, and needs to see if he can find his old, or possibly new, studs. And the studs ... those guys, especially for Dark Side of NRX, were fucking unbelievable. As was Leo Casanova. But ... Leo's got his own studio now, alongside shooting for EKS, and the other guys, as far as I can tell, just all up and vanished. I haven't seen a single one of them in another production since. Who knows if they're even in Russia anymore, which would be hard seeing as what their situation is with the War in Ukraine.

So ... there's so much shit to contend with ... and all of it could collapse again with just the slightest puff of wind from the authorities. This isn't the house of bricks anymore - this would be the house of straw.

To think that Nick would enter back into the Lion's Den - and then start filming mega BBC DAP gangbangs with unbelievably hot young girls - is probably more than a single bridge too far.

And if he doesn't go to Russia - then he's facing the same talent crunch that all the people shooting (now) in Eastern Europe are facing. The best girls to go on EKS were typically all of NRX's past models. Eastern European girls, or European girls for tht matter, don't seem to have the fuel to create something like what NRX actually was. So, between the old hunting grounds being radioactive, the newer hunting grounds being sparse and thin, all of the old bad blood still existing out there somewhere, who knows where, ready to spill onto the new fresh clean cloth at any time, the authorities knowing who he is and what they can do to him, and on top of all of this, the fact that the minute he lands there, people will know who he is and talk/gossip will immediately start flowing ...

I dunno.

Nick's an incredibly smart guy. He produced some of the best porn that was ever created, almost bar none. If he says he wants to do it - I'm not going to just shrug that off - but ...

He's got a pretty big mountain to climb to get there. It's a nice sentiment to hear - and I'm not calling his intent a lie - but ...

That's going to be one hell of an obstacle course to navigate.
