Gonzo has been importing Colombian models, so there is no need to do copy/paste with girls from those countries.
But nobody imported Brazilian models with child like features that all your/pornbox customers like. Why is that? Surely the cheaper rates are worth the "investment risk" to import batches of brazilians that fall within the child look in terms of body/face like gonzo did for Colombian models a couple of times. No idea why you only decided to import 1 girl in stead of a (mini) group in order to spread "investment risks". There will always be shoots/models who perform better than the other. They can make up for loss of other scenes/models....
Hello, look the point is complex.
In general, south american content are cheaper to producer and go for sales ofter at lover price then european content with the same girl.
So, when we bring a model to europe that has already 10-20 scenes online, we are going to shoot overall a similar content and sell it ofter for an higher price, the double or so very often.
Even paying the model the same like in south america, we are still uncompetitive, because here boys are more expensive, there is the travel to pay and so on.
The only solution could have been shooting heavier content than south american's, but this is actually not a solution that actually works.
This is valid not only for Brazilian girls, but in general for all models that start they work in porn in studio that sell at a low price.
this bring to the point that we cant offer much money to a south american models, and for this reason she also refuse to came to europe very often.
The point is not from where the model is from or how much she got/get paid, competition is between content already online that cost much less to the user than what we would shoot and sell.

Mia Malkova, one of the most popular porn stars in social media, has 40,000 subscribers on her Only fans channel. She says that she earns between 150,000 and 250,000 dollars a month, significantly more than before from porn films.
"Besides, I decide on everything. I do what I want and how I want. My quality of life is much better" Malkova says.

Some bold words. What is Giorgio up to this time?

Obviously it won't be possible to increase prices more and more in the longterm even if it's necessary to cover all costs.
New concepts and changes will be needed.
Rolls Royce used to sell engines. Today, they lease engines and charge for them on the basis of flight hours.
Most airlines today finance their flights with business and first class seats. Economy class is totally uneconomical but necessary to cover some of the fixed costs.
I believe that the porn industry is also becoming more flexible. What sounds strange and impossible for many today will become reality.
Maybe the payment/financing of individual sex positions, sex acts, certain outfits, or models, or parts of scenes at smaller prices because the prices for the whole package will be too high?
Flat rates not only for studios but also models or genres?
Lowering of prices and introduction of tips/donations?
Multi camera angle shots like PremBuk to better satisfy the wishes of viewers and increase the willingness to buy?
Or even better: providing the whole footage? So that the viewer can enjoy what he likes for a long time. Without crass editing including BTS.

For me, free time is very precious and valuable. I do not want to be checking, ticking lots of different options to buy additional add-ons/extras etc. I just want a complete scene, with everything included already...and if it costs 10-12.5 tickets, that is fine (assuming it is a quality scene with a big name star).

Also a good idea!

Talent import from cheaper places like Brazil or Colombia indeed could be a way to contain high Prague porn production price rises and this avoid another +42% price hike in 2023.

So basically GG's observation is that users are already so much cash-stripped after mid April 2022 price rise and inflations ragging in EU and USA that the users instead of buying a new scene by a girl they go back and check their older scenes which cost less and buy these instead.
Its true for the Brazilian girl in question - Sayuri Sakai - but sure also for other Latinas and also Russian porngirls work published before April 2021. Maybe also for all Eurobabes in case users haven't collected all their scenes.

The actions that have been taken in the last two years (give or take) have pushed this place into a downward spiral I feel it is too late to get out of. The tons and tons of amateur crap that gets dropped every single day, the horrible tagging system that just doesn’t work, the absurdly inflated prices, the non existant connection between seller/customer etc etc.
And for the professional studios? We’ve seen Oscar’s story, what about the rest?
- NF is shut down already.
- Yummy has been releasing nothing but BTS crap (more than 30!!!) since last December, they seem to close to death as well, if not dead already.
- Gonzo is a shadow of its former self, releasing at most one or two scenes a week, often months old (no new material?)
- Valter Karo (VK) releases are half the length of what they used to be or should be, but still asks a premium price.
- Interracial Vision is releasing on occasion but is barely noticeable, they should just be renamed to Invisible Vision.
- even Giorgio some days doesn’t release anything. That almost NEVER happened before which seems telling.
- Natasha Teen and LTP offer the best value for money for now, but considering the rest you have to wonder how long that will last.
- NRX has some great girls, but possible the most absurd prices of all. Up to 11 tickets for a 1 v 1? Ridiculous.
- Erika Korti and Angelo Godshack release pretty consistently for now, but they seem to be the exception to the rule and obviously I have no clue how things are behind the curtain.
- PAF basically only does 1 v 1 these days. Could be an artistic decision but I fear it has more to do with the financial situation.
All in all I am very pessimistic about the future of this place. I fear we will continue to see more and more amateur crap until all if not most professional places have gone under.

DAP is not the most important thing. Ballsdeep penetration with passion and energy is more important. I love also 1on1, if the fucking is hard. I bought this scene and enjoyed it very much! Hope more will come. With hard BBC and ballsdeep anal.

It's not nice to see anyone in this situation, i have to be honest. I could have acquired all the videos of Larinha Small, Fran Oliver and Mirella Dias, for example, but I didn't because of a single detail. This is the last video I bought from your studio.
You simply ignored us and let time pass. And worse, insulted us with BTS scenes that will never be released. This is ridiculous. Result: No longer supporting this studio. As a consumer, perhaps I could review my position if one day the studio survives, but that's not the case at the moment.

Let’s not be so hard on OB he is a great guy, and he is doing his best he just not paying attention to what we tell him, and that is to be understand as he is surrounded by other guys whom there goal is to get paid no matter what, so I think.
OB, listen my friend.
You are in the Latin production part of the competition, and your main competitors are NT and LTP.
And with the hotel scenario you are not going to be able to compite against them as your movements, angles aré reduce to the walking space a hotel gives you.
Bathroom, beds and closed spaces are for amateur production, your girls are perfect but we are talking about money and what you can get for it, come on rent a place that has a big living room and set it up with the sofas just like gonzo.
You got it all you need is to make those changes and get rid of that preview, use that time to introduce the girls as models displaying all there stores, makeup and all people want to see the beauty of each girl.
