Ghanaian and Nigerian Actors can come together to put it in place the framework to regulate procedures\u2026\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Oscar continued that, \u201cIt was wrong to have funds collected from foreigners before they come and shoot here. I think it damaged the industry. I don\u2019t mean those who took the decision were wrong but the timing wasn\u2019t right. It put impediments in the way\u2026\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, the renowned actor stressed on the importance of \u2018overlooking\u2019 governmental aids since industry players don\u2019t require that if they are truly committed for the merger.<\/p>\n<p>He further added the Collective Bargaining Agreement is being enforced in several entertainment industries around the world hence it isn\u2019t new to professional producers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t need government to do that. We can do it if we are committed and we don\u2019t seem to be doing it so for the past thirty years nothing has been achieved in that regard. I think we need to address these issues as to how to streamline the industry to success\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are a producer you can use sixty per cent coming from the acting gild and forty per cent coming from elsewhere. It is not something new. It\u2019s happening all over the world with actors, broadcasters, DJs among others. If you are running an Industry there need to be regulations\u2026\u201d he maintained.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Inspector Bediako disclosed the Nigerian economy has the numbers to boost sales.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria has a higher population. If a producer seeks to make a movie involving Nigerians and Ghanaians, ten per cent of their population is about fifteen million, if that producer is making one dollar on his productions that is fifteen million dollars. Imagine the return\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a business entity and we must approach it from a business point of view. Unless we do that, we are going to have fundamental problems\u2026\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Friday, 8 September 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-09-08 Ghanaian Film Producer, Inspector Bediako &#13; Veteran Ghanaian Film Producer, Oscar Provencal popular known as \u2018Inspector Bediako\u2019 has advised movie stars across the country to consider merging with the Nigerian Movie Industry in a \u2018Collective Bargaining\u2019 Agreement.
