This is what happens with your typical mid-wit. They think they're smart, but the minute they say anything over a sentence long, everything starts running into and contradicting each other. Let's take this apart piece by piece.
Nick wasn't a great producer - it was all the girls. In fact, forget the studs. They don't matter either. Just that ...
All the studs that Nick used were effectively tried to be snapped up by all the other studios, including Erika Korti Studios, in an effort to replicate what Nick had done. So, if the studs didn't matter, then ... why was everyone chasing after the guys that Nick had ensembled?

Nick was smart to capitalize on young teenage girls for guys here to fap too.The Popular selling porn here doesnt mean its actually good porn. Popular selling porn is just whats most selling at the moment. It doesnt mean its good quality porn. Back in 2023 Nrx ruled the site because of great talent pool/scouting alone which no one could touch because Nick was getting russia's best looking russian teenage girls. No other studio could compete expect Natasha for talent pool but quality of scene always went to Giorgio, Gonzo,Mambo, Yummy, Erika and even AGO to a extent. Nick whole business model was hottest inexperienced young teenage girl getting fucked. It wasnt about making a great porn. Nick used a cinematic bs intro with music to hook you then its a normal shiity russian scene with no chemistry with actors and cold actresss. I will say to be fair russians actress are usually cold but still Nick wasnt great at his job. It was always easy to tell minus his gimmicks he hid behind. Theres wasnt any advance things he did with the camera. You are just a hyped up fanboy that only likes young hot white russian teens tbh. You vehemently stated this is too many times here.
I liked the actresses, no doubt. But you seem ready to diminish everything else Nick had done
right because of the fact that ... the actresses he found were beautiful? That ...
doesn't make any sense. The actresses being good doesn't diminish everything else he made and did - and the idea that, oh, everybody who bought the porn was just interested in the actresses, and actually everything else was terrible is a baseless accusation. How baseless is it? Well, you just say it and then leave it at that. When it comes to providing an argument for something - providing zero arguments for something doesn't make it right.
Others here have already mentioned how good both his camera work and lighting were. To the extent that, when he was being shut down, some of his last scenes had lighting so precise and naturally blending, creating the most naturally warm but still visible tones, creating the perfect seamlessness between ample peachy and bright creamy white that I wouldn't be surprised if folks from Hollywood would be taking notes.
His camera work crafted seamless motion streams, especially in his intros, that had sexual suggestions baked right into the movement. His slow curved slide ins from down low, his angled "just slightly looking up" at the girls takes, his slow-motion action shots, his close-ups on emotion, they were all made to evocate a dream sequence.
He was literally pulling you into a fantasy. Sorry, but Giorgio holding a camera like a camcorder and saying greasy, porno director things to the girl while she stands still awkwardly for three minutes
doesn't hold a fucking candle to that. And if you think it does - that's because you are, as you've displayed, an absolute mid-wit.
The sets and the scenes likewise held the perfect blend between space and color. The set never felt too ostensibly large, but it never felt cramped. In fact, it didn't feel like a place at all, allowing it to simultaneously melt into nothingness in your mind (which a good set should always do - the focus should always be on the girl) - and provide the perfect backdrop to shift the focus onto the girl herself. The sets, and the ways in which they were constructed, only got increasingly better as time went on. Early NRX was still figuring it out, but by the end he had established a benchmark that not only could nobody else replicate, but everybody else's product felt so much weaker in comparison. EKS,
despite trying to copy him directly in everything, felt like you were in the backrooms of a greasy Eastern European apartment. And, well, that's not Erika's fault per se, she was working with what she had, but the contrast between what she and Nick had achieved was so great, you could feel the haunting of Nick's shadow in every scene that Erika shot. The only person who came somewhat close to the set-ups were Natasha Teen and Oscar from Mambo, but even then, with Oscar he has
so many stairs in his set, and it's like ... it just makes things feel cramped. But, by far, the sets of later-day NRX have never been even come close to by another porn producer since.
Then there was the wardrobe. Fuck me - who could've guessed that people liked watching young hot girls be dressed like ... young hot girls? Not the other producers - because Nick was, literally, the only one who brought a lolita/18-year-old vibe to his productions. Guess the tastes had moved on from the more, "Let's make them look like prostitutes," era that defined many of the productions with, admittedly, not as attractive talent that the other studios were producing. But, rather than diminishing the role the clothing had to play due to the beauty of the talent wearing it, it should absolutely be noted that the costumes accentuating such beauty and helping create the very vibe that the actresses exploited and explored in turn highlighted their beauty, which is, ironically, why we consider the girls from those sets to be the absolute top tier that they were. Those girls have appeared in many other productions since - but seemingly haven't attracted the same fan-base that loved everything they did when Nick was in charge. The clothing, absolutely, which also helped dictate the vibe, had something to do with that. And that's another win in Nick's column as far as I'm concerned.
And finally - the studs. Some of the most well hung - energetic - over-the-top and visceral performers I've ever seen in porn. Coming together and providing a cohesive, singular unit of energy. Typically always getting their placing just right - and dictating the energy of the set so that
the girl was following them. You might enjoy the girl running the show in the porn scenes you watch, because it sounds like you're an absolute fucking cuck, but trust me, for actual dudes, the idea is that we're fucking the girl. Not that she's fucking us. There's a traditional masculine/feminine energy that equates in many ways to dominance/submissiveness - and Nick got it right. The guys were leading the charge. Which probably innately offends your weak-willed, beta-minded, please-whip-me-harder-Daddy mentality = but for actual dudes - this is the porn they wanted. Not for the girl to be having a chuckle and leading the guys around the scene - but for the girl to be getting the fucking of her life. You know - what porn used to be. And what porn is supposed to be - for people that actually want to live the fantasy of
fucking the girl. And not pissing on her like some absolute feeb.
There, a full on explanation that delves deeply into why your entire opinion (which can be summarized as nothing more than saying that Nick was mediocre without having anything to actually back it up) is
complete and utter fucking bullshit.What else backs up this opinion? The sales. The fucking sales. Like, holy shit. I guess everybody that was purchasing the scenes from NRX, and who then likewise went and purchased other scenes for the site, was just supporting the absolute worst of the bunch, huh? The fact that when NRX closed - and every other studio on this site experienced a ripple effect where they almost had to close down - just a complete coincidence, right?
That even when EKS came back, and brought back some of the models, and the studs, and tried to replicate everything else (but couldn't), that the money just didn't come flowing back in through the front door, right? That she had to essentially close her doors - and everyone else is barely keeping theirs open, if they haven't already closed since. Just a real big fucking coincidence, right?
Jaxkbnm wrote:Nick's golden goose was young hot white teenage russian girls thats it. The main thing in porn is if you have the hottest girls you will always make a shit ton of money. Guys brought nicks scene to live vicariously through the studs just to expierence in thier own head what its like fuckng said girls. Nick wasnt a pro he was a hack that had a insanely beautiful talent pool. But you know what nick wasnt the first or last person to know this.
I believe there's been studios since that have likewise shot just as beautiful, if not more so beautiful girls, on at least a one-to-one basis, if not overall for the entire portfolio. But, those scenes don't seem to sell as well. If it merely came down to the girls themselves, as you seem to suggest, then these other scenes should have done just as well, or even better. If, as you insist throughout your diagnosis, the girls drove the whole thing, then why don't these other sites do just as well when they release a really top looking girl (however once in a blue moon it is), and instead often struggle to stay open?
Maybe it's because Nick, through all the other criteria I mentioned prior, established
a mood and
a feeling with his works that transcended the individual facets of said productions. That all of these different elements, no matter how well planned and pulled off individually, came through even better when coordinated and mixed with one another. Creating not only an actual brand - but a verifiably defined
experience that essentially lifted off from where and what porn used to be, and took it into something entirely different overall.

Giorgio used to film in St Petersberg back in the day if you forgot. If Giorgio had access to nicks talent pool he would have reigned for longer on here.
I don't know if you've noticed this - but the style from the later day NRX productions changed
significantly from the early day productions. It's like Nick started out at the very beginning, and then, once he learned how everything worked, over the course of a year plus of work, he started to then create and define his own style.
Sure, Giorgio gave him a good start. But Nick is what took that to the next level. If you cannot see that - if you cannot see the sales numbers and figures -
if you cannot see that the lucrative nature of the contracts is what drove the girls to NRX's doors in the first place - and that that was only possible because he was making such good money - and that that was only possible because he developed such a next-level style and technique which were then infused into his product - then, I really cannot help you.
