Chioma Akpotha is of the view that there is no price tag on any actor.<\/p>\n<p>The \u2018Naked Sin\u2019 actress believes that the cost of hiring the services of a movie star depends largely on the relationship between the actor and the producer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is based on your relationship with the person. If you are a producer and I\u2019ve known you for quite a while, I won\u2019t say give me $50,000. I will say my friend let me just do it for $20,000. I can have another relationship with someone who is not so close and I can say give me $30,000. But there is no tag for an actor,\u201d the actress emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the level of relationship between industry players could even allow them to work virtually for free.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can say\u2026we\u2019ve known ourselves for ages so let\u2019s just do it. Just fuel my car that is it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Chioma Akpotha debunked claims that Nollywood stars like herself are overly expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the current state of the Nigerian movie industry, the actress said Nollywood is evolving rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>She stated that the evolution has improved the quality of movies and professionalism in the movie industry.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below for more:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vpMCo8-4ZpY\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/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, 15 December 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-12-15 play videoNollywood star Chioma Akpotha The flashy lifestyle of some movie stars may be scaring away producers with limited budgets who wish to give the stars roles in their movies.
