I know it sounds unbelievable, but
it's fact! A-list Nollywood actors &
actresses get paid for featuring in
movies, but if you're an unknown
actor struggling to get into the
movie industry, some movie
producers make you pay to feature
in their movies. That's the new
trend now. I'm sure some Nollywood
practitioners will come here to deny
this but y'all know it's true. And if
you don't know this already, you
guys need to start investigating
this.
If you're looking to feature in a
movie, all you need to do is pay a
fee, no audition is required. For
minor roles, these producers
demand anything from N50k to
N100k...it all depends on the role
they are giving you. If you want to
play a lead role it's between N500k
to N1million. Waka pass people are
even made to pay.
The trick some of these producers
use is this; they say they are not
making money from these movies
because people aren't buying them
so can't invest all their money in it.
They also say finding financiers to
pay for the production of a movie is
hard, so for these movies to see
the light of day, every cast member
has to contribute. Thing is, many
are eager to pay. Several people
told me that it's the girls they
refer to as 'runz girls' looking for
popularity that started this trend.
They would offer movie producers
money to feature in their movie so
they can refer to themselves as
actresses and now it's become a
part of Nollywood.
But let me state here that there
are some movie producers who
don't do this...not all of them
demand for money. But a lot of
them do. Is that OK? What's your
thought on this new trend?
