I repost this here because exactly 5y later it still reads so actual:

I recently shot a scene with Ria very similar to her Sperma party from 2015, here few data for you:
Performers:
Model payout / agency fees +35%
Boys payout + 25%
Location:
The cost of location/accommodation and anything concerning this is increased from 2015 to 2016 of 50%, now in 2017, moving into a new facility we save probably 5-10% comparing to last year
Technology:
The Sperma Party has been shot with a camera that costed me about 4000usd, now I shoot with a camera camera that costed me over 20000usd. The post production requires more time and more expensive technology.
Organization:
In 2015 I did not have any fixed employee except the editor, now I have 3 + several "continuous collaborators"
General expenses:
I dont have a stat for 2017, but between 2015 and 2016 the general expenses of my company that produces content for LP increases of about 35%.
Then, another consideration (the more important). Be aware that from 2005 to 2015 the payout for models basically did not increase at all (if you compare a salary of a mason in Czech Republic increased of about 30% in that time). This brought to a decrease of the new model recruited in Cz.
As we run a model agency as well, we are trying to increase the payout for the girls as it should (and its hard). Even if Russia and Ukraine are the poorest, to recruit girls is more difficult in 2017 then 2015, there are no doubts about it. Even the cost of VISA is almost the double from 2015 and the not approved visa, border issues and all the bullshits concerning the trip organization are increase madly (I dont have a stat about this, but I think we talk about 150-200% more on monthly base.
I know what you are going to answer so I already answer you: to keep things as they were means dying. In 2017 I benefited from of a pool for of girls already performing, in the next years we had to invest somewhere else for keep a source of girls.
Other point: is very correct that payout of models increase as they get experience and they keep selling, its a simply market rule.
Few considerations:
We do not two squander money, if you consider that we have as car a citoen cactus bought in Sept. 2014 and a skoda octavia (bought used on Jan 2016)
Im sick since June 19, but Im forced to work taking Paracetamol every 4 hours for keep going because I need to shoot content in advance because I fucking want to go in holiday and spend time with my kids and keep releasing content.
Produce high quality porn cost and keep producing constantly cost more. Back in 2005 a DVD with 4 scenes as we produce not would cost smt like 40-50 euro, on LP still cost you the half.
Giorgio Grandi wrote:I add another consideration about USA girls:
If you consider payout of model, agency fees, travel, accommodation the "total cost" of the performer increases over 200% (at least for me), but where the fuck you can find a scene like GIO399 or SZ1569 or SZ1623 (for nominate also smt from other studios)? No where.
LP producer for the most content that no one even try to emulate because a "pure" membership system wont be able to support the investment.
Also let me add 1 new development: Travel costs from Russia to Prague have increased 600% in 6mt!
This said ofc prices have become hight and porn has become a somewhat expensive hobby.
