Nollywood actor and filmmaker, Yul Edochie, has dropped a strong message to his colleagues in the movie industry, urging them to always deliver excellence, regardless of how much they are paid. Taking to Instagram, Yul explained that even if an actor accepts a role for just ₦10,000, they must still give a $100 million performance.
According to him, delivering a “₦10k performance” is the fastest way to fail, while true greatness comes from giving your absolute best, even when working for free. His post has since sparked massive reactions online.
“As an actor,
If you accept a 10k fee for a movie role, you must give a 100 million dollar performance.
Don’t give 10k performance because you were paid 10k.
That’s your road to failure.
Even if you accept to do the job for free,
You must give a 100-million-dollar performance.
That’s what the acting profession demands.
That’s your road to greatness”.
