How Was 2024 For GIO Studio

[zaisafi]

For Me Not So Good.

[xxxVIPERxxx]

Here's to hoping for an even stronger 2025, with more consistently frequent releases.

[YanPowerful]

I think it's terrible!
If they don't add modern cosplays, more diverse clothing, new actresses, this will be the end. Whores on the road and a parody of the bride are not enough.
2-3 new scenes a week is sad. With success like this, we're in for a gonzo story.
By the way, where is "gonzo24"? Everyone forgot about it.

2-3 new scenes a week is sad. With success like this, we're in for a gonzo story.
By the way, where is "gonzo24"? Everyone forgot about it.

It's sad for a user like me who for years bought 5 GIO scenes per week.
But all studios have to generate enough profit to keep themselves afloat and refinance new scenes. By reducing content and GIO studio costs Andrey X. might get more items sold and a better performance than old GIO studio even.
Besides we have already seen new girl, although ofc he's basing his biz on known stars because it's less of a risk or failure and thus loosing money. I dont think Andrew X has shown all his potential and his own handwriting yet.

I'm very curious how he develops in 2025 - and wish him only the best! Of course also hoping he can slowly accelerate production again and get new girls, also Czech cutie scout-able still as AGO studio shows.


About Gonzo'24: That was a badly advertised Gonzo takeover scaled down to de facto possibilities. Plans were much bigger, but crisis had already hit. The way it was done was bound to fail. But at least with me Gonzo'24 studio isnt forgotten at all!

I've been quite on the forum, but I have been active on the site. So much so, I kind of have his pattern figured out:

* New Scene
* Reload Scene
* BTS
* Reload Scene
* New Scene

It doesn't follow that pattern every time exactly, but it's pretty darn close. I don't really care for the BTS but hope that they are at least worth Andrew's time. And for the reload, I rarely buy them, but... they can pique my interest in that particular actress, and I will ultimately go buy a scene with that chick.
With that said, Andrew X doesn't produce enough scenes to reach my maximum budget allowance for a month. A matter of fact, I still haven't joined recurring payments. I just do reloads. But I'm proud to say that I'm supporting his work and even when time is slow, I just buy some of the older scenes. There are no quality drops with scenes from like 2018 or etc.

I'm glad that we got Mina, Nicole Black, and Eden Ivy, just to name a few. That chick Eden Ivy is cum dumpster (not in a derogatory way), catching every drop and she always gets my dick nice and hard toward the end of the scene.

But yeah, hopefully the revenue per scene shot up a lot. I was thinking that every new scene release would be the top seller for that day, but that's not the case. A matter of fact, other studios caught on and are releasing less frequently, so they get a lot of buyers as well, sometimes, having GIO scenes finishing in 2nd for that day.

For the most part, I'm happy. Is it at the 2022 level of excitement where I can expect a sexy scene every day, nope! But I try to remain positive, so that Andrew will always feel like his work is impactful and ready to continue to direct for many years to come.

First 8-9 months from bad to very bad to awful. But since then, keep improving every month, every week.

And now with great chances to reach perfection, if they start releasing zero scenes weekly. Simply if they do nothing, nothing can't go wrong.

Permanent perfection would be if they start releasing zero scenes yearly and sell that facility, building to someone who will re-adapt it and start running any other business. And to delete forever every smallest trail of "porn" producing inside of those walls.

[hyapet]

You know, honestly, I would rather Andrew release one really solid, amazing scene every week - then release five scenes of mediocre to okay quality.

Like, the Daruma Rai BBC DAP? That was really, really good. That's what porn should be about. That's Andrew taking an amazingly hot girl - and going to town on her. Like - was it the best scene of all time? No. Did it to anything revolutionary? No. But - the whole thing - it felt well put together. Everything was on point. The girl was hot. The male actors were doing their job well. Like, everything just clicked.

And honestly - I know this isn't really a "good argument" in the fashion that, of course, the site wants to make as much money as possible. But ... with Yummy Studio, Mambo Perv, and what used to be Natasha Teen and Latin Girls, plus the odd scene from the rest of the crap they put up there that's actually half decent, like ... can we really afford both the money and time to watch three hours worth of porn every day? Like, really, if we're being honest ... where's the line that gets crossed where the amount of bang you're getting for your buck, no matter the quality, diminishes?

Some quiet days are actually okay.

The real problem is when the "main shoot" for the week is a 45 year old girl that looks like she crawled out of a dumpster, with tits sticking out horizontally like machine guns are going to pop out of them, covered in tattoos from head to toe, and it's like ... what am I doing? Why am I watching this? Like ...

No, they can't all be Daruma Rai's. Obviously. But, nevertheless, grab as many Daruma Rai's as you can, and pay them more money, instead of filling a schedule to the brim every week with the aforementioned 45 year olds with machine gun tits.

Like ... quality over quantity. And if every studio, once per week, released one amazing scene with a mind-blowing hottie, and that was like, the only release at the top of the page, and then everything underneath that was the usual dumptruck of trash, then that would be absolutely okay. Because that one scene would do well. And I don't think anybody would complain that, "Oh man! I just got 70 minutes of new porn today! That's not enough!"

So ... Andrew's been doing some good work. Is it like the olden days where, oh, look! It's Tuesday and Nikki Hill is taking a BBC DAP! No - and those days probably won't come back. But - nevertheless - things are improving - and what Andrew is doing is giving me hope.

With scenes like the Daruma Rai BBC DAP - he's absolutely earned that much at least.

Great points!

AGO recently was part of a crew for the Angie Bloom scene. I thought that was great. But I kind of feel like GIO and AGO can partner up even more so that GIO can release the reload scenes on days where AGO is releasing a new scene and when GIO is releasing a new scene, AGO doesn't release that day. That could maximize profit. Also, I noticed that Angie Bloom actually filmed with AGO a short time later AND, I don't think GIO released a new scene that day. Another thing they can cooperate on is sharing talent. Finding talent seems within AGO personality a little bit more.

But yeah, I know that you're fine with fewer scenes being released because we have other studios, but GIO scenes are unique and satisfy my rare fetish that can't be satisfied from the other studios I do buy a few things from EKS, but it's nothing like GIO.

And Daruma Rai is awesome. I left her out of my previous list because I was too lazy to look up how her name was spelt.

And for the 45 yr old actresses. Most of the ones that come to mind are huge favorites amongst the crowd. I'm not really the one to strongly prefer MILFs or strongly prefer barely legal. I just like good porn. Now there is one actress that has been filming for a while now and she's getting up there in age. I used to like her, but I don't know what happened. She still performs well. I guess, the sex appeal is gone with her now. It was also an opposite situation of this one chick that didn't have a nice profile picture and had a strange stage name that kind of had me not taking her seriously. She eventually grew on me, and I love her scenes. And BTW, she's a good cum collector.

[hyapet]

To be clear, I have nothing against MILFS. Give me a Dee Williams or Syren De Mer any day of the week.

But those girls are special. Because they "have a look," you know? Where you're almost fucking the very idea of beauty as much as a beautiful person. Where they bring together everything amazing you would want from a gorgeous person - and then have the ability to perform really well as well.

But overall - and this goes for AGO as well - the pickings have become pretty slim over the past couple of years. Ever since OF landed. Like, an 8 out of 10 gets a shoot with GIO, and we flip out fucking minds these days. If you've seen some of the girls of OF, it's like ... this would have been the golden age of porn, the key word there being would.

That's not to say that every model that steps through the doors is awful - but in this day and age - especially seeing as how much porn there is, if not just on the web, then on AV/PB itself - I would imagine the money would be in creating a scene that really stands out, heads and shoulders, above everything else that's out there.

If Andrew released one scene after two weeks of nothing - and it was a Baby Kxtten BBC TAP - and they went all out - like, script, costumes, multiple camera men, just like, an outrageous fucking scene that takes everyone to their limit - and then spend a couple weeks shooting the next major production - before you know it - the sales on the scenes would begin to skyrocket.

Because not only would the anticipation be there - but the back catalog would suggest that the next one is going to be likewise huge - and everybody would be really getting ready for it. Like, just drop the tickets the second it comes out. Regardless the price - just reward the man for producing that kind of porn.

Outside of that - it would make it somewhat special. Like, 24 scenes a year? But each one of them is a 10/10 or an 11/10? I would much rather go and rewatch and revisit those scenes after a year then 120 scenes of sagging, tattoo'd, plastic 40+ year olds going through the same old same old routine. I would pay a lot more for that as well.

Like, Giorgio really revolutionized porn in his time. And folks like Nick Whitehard took that to the next level with NRX when it was around. As nice as it is that Andrew is continuing on GIO's legacy - part of me believes that he wouldn't actually be doing that if he didn't try to push the envelope and revolutionize porn again by ... well, that would be up to him.

He's replicating the master's previous footsteps. That is good. That's great. And the scenes he's shooting really get rid of a lot of the "in-between bullshit" that would have built good tension in 2012 - 2018 - but these days is just like, my wrist isn't for looking at the time here.

That said - I hope there comes a moment where everything just falls into place - he finds an amazing new incredibly beautiful teen talent, and then produces an outrageous scene with her (like a BBC DAP right off the bat) that introduces a whole field of new production techniques. And from there - is able to start building his own empire.

Like, I know scenes are supposed to be predictable. Many of GIO's scenes follow the same timeline to the minute. But, at some point, after thousands of these things have been shot in the same manner, something new wouldn't hurt either.

Either way - make every release be something special. I don't need a new Andrew scene every second day. I do, however, need the one scene he makes per week to be something to actually look at. I think he's got it in him. The question is ...

Can he navigate both the market and the talent agencies to bring in girls who will help him take it to that next level?

OF kind of messed up things, a little. I do take the negatives for the positives, which allowed actresses to make additional money. To be honest though, subscribing to a chick's OF is not my cup of tea. I don't care to see a bunch of still photos. I once subscribed to Kira Thorn but left after a month or two. She eventually left OF altogether. I would much rather subscribe to a male OF, like Dredd, where I can see him have sex with like a dozen chicks a month. As I said before, chicks make me interested and good male performer can seal the deal. I've been pretty impressed with how great the male talent has been for GIO studio too, lately.

Now, I guess you can once describe me as a fan that's coaching from his couch. You know, the fans that think that they know the football team more than the coach. GIO had the hard data, and I was wondering why he was releasing so many scenes where he can release fewer and get more money per scene. Andrew followed my advice, and I guess scenes are making maybe 25% to 50% more despite the huge drop in frequency. Basically, it didn't jump like I would have thought. And that high frequency schedule that GIO was on, probably yielded him more money. Moral of the story, is GIO knows best. I don't think releasing a scene or 2 a month is the best strategy. There are chicks here that don't interest me, and I will never buy their scenes.

Sometimes last few weeks I wondered whether Andrew X. is really GIOs successor or whether maybe GIO just reduced his own output and put Andrew X. who was directing >90% of GIO videos for many years already anyway in the front as to make it seem like there was something new.
I really still need to see Andrew X. own handwriting in these scenes in 2025.

I was a bit shock that Giorgio hasn't posted anything. I think the guy is at a beach somewhere, enjoying life. Not that you can't watch porn while you're at it. But yeah, I think Giorgio isn't really much involved. At least until the next time it needs to be sold again (hopefully, no time soon).

As far as Andrew's signature, what do you mean? You mean completely, completely new girls? Because the reason why I feel like Andrew X is the sole director for the studio is because he carries on Giorgio's legacy. Paul Stalker gives us videos too, but they are way different, and those videos are really Giorgio's assistance in getting Paul Stalker some additional eyeballs in anything. Because why not just buy Paul's videos from his studio?

[hyapet]

Things have to evolve or they die.

That's why I liked NRX Studio. It really took the "fantasy" element of imagination porn - and co-blended it with the rawest and hardest fucking around with, pretty much, the largest cocks ever. It distilled everything down to it's core essence - and then perfected it. Those scenes still feel fresh today. What a Goddamn shame that NRX had to close ...

Like - there isn't anything wrong with Andrew's scenes - there really isn't - but it's like anything. How many of something has to exist before the format itself starts to detract from the overall product? I don't want to see a girl standing around at the beginning of a shoot and not knowing what to do with herself. While that hasn't been going on to the same degree with Andrew's scenes - the remnants of it are still there. And it's like ... the minute something reminds you of something you've already seen 2,000 times before ... the excitement kind of leaves the room.

Like ... as much as we might be going on about technique this and ideas that ... it's the girls who, in most ways, make the studio. Obviously - with what I'm going to say next, I'm not really dealing with reality here, but - when I see a girl in porn, I want my breath to be taken away. That, obviously again, happens very few times. But, the closer to the mark that the arrow hits, the more the girl can grow on me with time. That being said - everyone always remembers the sweetest tonic they've ever sipped - and once you've seen a Nikki Hill BBC DAP - everything after that just automatically tastes a little bit more plain.

I could go over what I've said a million times before here in different threads, but, in short, maybe the existence of so much porn created beforehand is what ultimately takes away from the porn that's being shot nowadays. Every scene is going to be held up to the greats, and while that is unfair, the medium itself wouldn't evolve if we didn't do that.

Like - any change that would be suggested - obviously would go against a certain percentage of the market that is buying those scenes - and thus, in turn, prevent the idea from being implemented.

It's true - it just Goddamn is - pissing takes away so much from the scene. Everyone has to stop fucking, and then fucking stand around and wait to take a piss. It's fucking boring. It kills the momentum. But, worst of all, it turns the whole shoot from an organic, real-time, real-life event, into a choreographed, puppet-strings-visible, A comes before B, and B comes before C, and C comes before D, type of production. The whole thing has got to be so fucking boring for the people who shoot these scenes.

Rather than being able to organically fuck the girl - and just keep on fucking her - harder - and harder - and getting more physical with it - and more guys are joining in - and they're just stuffing her holes non-stop - and it just keeps getting heavier and hotter - and the girl can't really handle it anymore - and the stuffing, it just doesn't stop, until she orgasms super hard, and then ... they stick the second cock in her ass.

It's like - no. Here's a single anal segment - shot in the exact same camera angle as every other single anal segment - and now here's the pee scene, but oh, wait, this time the girl's got a martini glass instead of a jug - and then she's led to the couch, and the guys all try to position themselves for three minutes so they can give her double anal like they're searching for their car keys at the bottom of the truck in the middle of the night with the lights out - and it's just .. pfffffbbbbbttttt.

Now, obviously, the scenes aren't all like this. And obviously, laying this at Andrew's door-step is unfair, because he's been doing everything in his power to not make these mistakes.

But the skeleton from the older shoots is still there. And because the skeleton is there - the muscles attached to that skeleton are still stirring those old memories of the other three thousand scenes we've all seen that look awfully similar to this one - even if in all reality they actually don't.

Carrying on GIO's legacy is great and all - but there came some baggage with that as well. And if they can't get and keep a constant stream of super hot, super young girls to come and do this stuff, and to no fault of their own if they can't, then ...

Everything's just going to keep going along. And somewhere, at some point, what could have been, will disappear altogether.

Even if we don't have the slightest clue as to what it was or could have been.

It would be nice to see some themed shoots returning, or more of them, like:

Sexy teacher
Sexy nurse
Sexy estate agent
Sexy secretary
Horny Food Critic
Human Centipede or some Rimming themed title (new series - where 2 hot girls are rimming/being rimmed by 3 studs...it goes boy-girl-boy-girl-boy)
Some PPP themed title (Piss, Puke, Prolapse)
