Oh, I see, my message came through.
I'll back off in this, dont worry. Its AdV's decision - and for sure shared profits is an experiment worth trying. It could actually lead to a fair profit and risk participation and fuel a fee revolution in Europorn.
On the other hand I know at least 10 female performers who were asked openly or not openly but by referring to seemingly low sales (most of them not visible in sales ranks at least) to perform the same acts as before for lower payment. This was done by different studios in Prague. On top we both are aware of health risks I dont wanna get into here, but they might explain some of my assumptions as you call it. Anyway, girls were asked to perform for less while in Czech inflation still runs high and most other working ppl got less payment cuts, ie. minus 6,7% in "normal" jobs vs. 13% or so in porn jobs.Giorgio Grandi wrote:The true is that you are demeaning all female performers to some kind of endangered animal that needs to be protected.

I do my best to not demean anybody, neither female performers, nor male performers, nor porn studios or directors! This is the reason I always add that there is ofc a big economic pressure now in EU and because of that War for all involved. I am also aware that some girls are more than mean to their fans as well as their employers. And I try to differ who is who. It's sure not as easy as it seems to tell black and white.
now what you write makes sense and deserves and answer
who decide the price of a model on the PB environment?
the model? the producer? the market?
who decide is... the market. maybe a model propose a price, the producer agree or disagree according to the market.
on the other way around, when a producer propose a price to a model, the price is based on what the market can give for that model
the model is free to disagree and do not work, its up to her.
if the market goes as it was until few months ago (lots of studio shooting the same content with only few good models) what happen is a rise in price of female performers (and so a rise in the price of the content for you because studio needs to keep the models working for them, so offer more money to models).
inflation is also in accounting, but you cant consider rise of price of basic good as a long term reason to increase the price. this because 10% rise in living cost for a model is maybe 200$, for a company like me is maybe 20k or even more every month because rise of basic good are minimal comparing to rise of energy, travels, etc..
as the market is doing now (less studio and still only few models), the option are 2:
- everyone agrees to keep the high price of model and content (no free market)
- someone decrease the price and other studio that are still alive, maybe follow to survive or if they dont decrease the price, if they shoot the same kind of content, they are going to die
now, there is still a long way for the price (of the content) to decrease congruously, because running cost od production are still crazy, but they will as the price of the models will decrease (and so for company as they get smaller to decrease cost but they need to cash months of loss, so it takes more time)
covid created a bubble and the bubble is gone. when everyone understand this point, we maybe came back to a normal scheme in few months (everything needs to be re-built, starting from scouting, production will grow again but will take years to arrive to the same level of 2021)
STD
The standard of STD prevention you can see in prague/buda now, are the higher in the history of porn. is it perfect? is it no for sure, but its really over the standard of 2019 (dont consider the covid time as much less possibility to interact between performers because of travel restrictions and so on)
STD are part of the risk of every performer, like a bricklayer can fall down from a scaffold a performer can get a STD. What we can do is to test the more is possible in reliable places, we can do just this and we do it.
Overall, market changes and we need to adapt. First of all, who is still releasing content, needs to compensate the loss of this year. Market has been very unstable and competition between studios infected from lots of bullshit and unprofessionalism most of serious production. I adapted the production to the market and I am getting results in august, finally. I have a loss this year with 6 figures and the first, if you consider everything, is not a one.
But I am still here, other are not.
Remember this. When market is stable, producer can put the loss shooting a model with low sales on the shoulder of another model that has good sales. When the market is not stable he can not do it. The result is easy, models that do not have an audience enough stable to provide good sales, will be paid less or she will not work (and she is totally free to avoid working)
the scene with anna will be monitored, I need to understand how the scene does on next 2 months, but I think we are getting somewhere and price will drop, at least from my side (not for all models at beginning, but for some). I will do more experiments soon.
At the end of the day, while people can download using fileshare etc, to loyal subscribers like myself, it all really is a load of bollocks. You must know this. It's like passing massive environmental taxes on a country like Iceland, hitting citizens for 25% of taxes, when they might as well be pissing in the Atlantic so long as India, China, USA, Indonesia etc spew out 95% of emissions.
