There is something you don’t know about Nollywood Hamyz, it’s not a bed of roses, all those glamorous life you watch on TV is all charade, a make believe. The truth is our actors are suffering, they rarely make profit from every production, so they rely on each other to survive.
Piracy is killing the business and the Govt never help the performing Artiste at all, it get so terrible that if a movie is released today, you’ll see pirated copies on shelves nationwide in an hour, that’s one of the main reason Nigeria movie industry has refused to grow. These actors have to cut down their pay to a ridiculous amount to get jobs, it’s not easy at all. Only few gets to make it, and out of these lucky ones, only few are financially buoyant.
The last #Tinsel audition meant for upcoming and amateur artiste, there were presence of outstanding veteran yoruba actors who came to audition, note that this audition are for minor roles, but because the pay is better than the amount they commanded shooting a whole yoruba movie compare to shooting just one scene, they have to shed their pride and audition with upcoming and amateur actors.
That’s one of the main reason I’ll never agree with Moji whenever she attacked Dstv, because what Dstv/Mnet is doing for Nigeria performing Artiste the FG and even Nigeria investors haven’t done one tenth of it.
So if the Govt refused to curb piracy, it’s their responsibility to fix the outcome, and this right her my brother is their problem.
