Nigerian filmmaker Ruth Kadiri has openly advised movie producers to stop forcing actors featured in their films to produce one million views on the first day of upload on YouTube.
The actress also told her colleagues to resist any attempt by a producer to pressure them to do high numbers on YouTube.
According to Kadiri, who is regarded as the ‘Queen of YouTube Nollywood’, one million views is not the standard for a successful movie.
On her Instagram page, she wrote, “Dear Nollywood actors, take the pressure off your shoulders! Any producer who requires one million views from you in one day has failed. A good production requires more than your face.
“One million views is not a standard of success. So much y’all don’t know about YouTube. Don’t let their ignorance rob you of your joy.”
