Nollywood Director chased out of set


HerozAfriq.
The movie industry is sure taking a new turn as its practitioners have begun to acquire more skills therefore, displacing older ones.
Who will ever imagine that the industry that has been under serious tension for many years now will breed fresh and new talents ready to compete with the international market to all standard.
Recently, a notable Hollywood Director, Ifeanyi Ikpoenyi popularly known as Mr Hollywood was relieved of his job as a director in a movie set in Lagos. He was sacked by the executive producer and the financier of the job on allegation that he was not living up to expectation and was exhibiting lack of seriousness and professionalism in the job.
Mr Hollywood who is known for his blockbuster movies, Ikuku, My darling princess, My sweet Heart among many others, was said to have been sacked for incompetency and at the same time not been able to meet up to the target of the movie schedule, noting that he spent almost all his days in the job, haven achieved almost nothing.
The allegation led to a near exchange of battle between the popular director and the Executive producer who happens to have flown in from the United State of America to invest in the Nigerian movie industry as a means of contributing her own quota in the development of the industry.
According to eye witness,it was also noted that the Executive producer got fed up with the whole delay as she got furious and confronted the director, but for the ego he exhibited as the director of the set, he earned himself a sack. The American based Nigerian producer, was said to have sacked the director not minding the whooping sum of 250 thousand naira she paid to him as a fee for the job done.
Gone are the days when directors think they can do anything on st to jeopardize the process of a job as she did not let any factor of any such deter her from achieving her dreams as she immediately employed the service of another director who happens to be a new face to complete what a supposedly professional could not do.
