LOL @ ALL THE COMMENTS!!! LOLOL

stillwater:

I thought it was more about using nollywood actors to sell their movies. For instance Jim Iyke staring in a Ghanian movie in order for people to buy it. How many people know Ghana actors? It's just on NL I started knowing who they were.

Besides both nollywood and Ghollywood produce crappy movies.  grin Both of them need to go to the drawing table. This is 2010.
its funny cause the popular movie "Shakira" that a lot of people love, is actually a ghanaian movie. everyone is ghanaian besides mercy johnson who has the leading role. the funny thing is, as soon as ONE nollywood actor stars in a ghollywood movie it gets called a nollywood movie. lol so i see what you mean.

@mama-gee, you finally made a sensible post. lol-jk
but yes, i think they get hired based on eye-candy, and that's it. people watch van cause he's cute, not cause he can act. so hmmmm. . . nollywood benefits from this one as well.

bros kool dwn now by d way i be 9ja o abeg
pls no abuse me o jus cus we have diff opinion we r all grown adults abeg ma bi nu if i offend you so gbo jo grin grin
so you're saying this was your opinion all along? why am i not surprised someone would make up some mumbo jumbo that we know isn't true? sigh. . .

davidylan:

hah! Here i was thinking i was the only one who thought this dude couldnt act to save his life. I deliberately go out of my way to avoid movies where Ghanaians act because of how poor the movie ends up.
same here, i avoid their movies at all cost. just recently i started avoiding van vicker movies cause he is always playing THE SAME ROLE!! and he sucks at it. its only majid michel (which i think is the best and i love!!) and jackie that i can tolerate. the rest, BULL****!!!

londoner:

Look, I watch his movies because he is fine, there I said it. If a GH movie is on I will watch it, but I am hardly entertained by them. You can be sitting for half and hour, go and make tea and even become engrossed in convo with another person in the room, forgetting you are supposed to be watching a movie. Even then, the storyline has not moved an inch.

YOU TOO? I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE! that happend to me when watching some ghanaian movies some time back.

nd.gfx:

@ mama-gee
true-word!!!

Time to bring out them "Ghana must go" bags again. Let's remind them how it's color rilly looks like.

[size=20pt]LMFAO!!![/size] HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OOOOO BOY! I LAUGHED SO HARD ON THAT ONE. grin grin grin

@topic
i can watch majid michel if he is starring in a nollywood movie only, alongside other nollywood actors. but usually if its a ghanaian movie and he's there (as much as i love him) sometimes im not even interested to watch.

To be truthful am tired of seeing ghanaian actors in our movies with their fakeness and attitude, you can imagine that yvone girl saying that Nollywood and Gollywood is on the same level, just that Nigeria has a bigger market, and that why they seek after gollywood actors and that similar to what Jackie said to. They better be paying taxes, truthfully the only one i think is managable is Majid thats all.
I know. Ghanaians always think they're competing with Nigerians, lmao! Before, they were acting Nigerian in there movies, saying "Chineke mee"? wtf? That's Igbo not even pidgin. Now, they think acting American in there movies makes them a hit. WTF? Before it's only mixed people in their movies and Jackie Appiah, now, they got like 3 other regular Ghanaians along with tha mixed folks, since they started merging with Nigerians. They over -do the sex and sexy scenes, and it's irritating, you can't even watch African movies with ur lil kids anymore cus u dont know when someone's gonna whip out a butt cheek. Always showing grocery store scenes so we can see they have shopping carts. WTF? If I wanna watch an American movie, I'll got to da damn AMC and watch it.

you still haven't provided a source, or maybe you got it off some blog. yawn. . . and when you said just because we have "different opinions" it led me to believe you made this thread due to your OWN opinion. this thread is YOUR opinion. "jus cus we have different opinions" says that this thread is based on your opinion and not some article.
anyway, i love you, so don't make me upset.

Re: Revealed! Real Reason Nollywood Producers Use Ghanaian Stars by ghettochyk(f): 12:40am On Jan 14, 2010
Many of them are bad actors, especially Nadia. I couldn't watch or buy a Ghanaian movie, but I'll keep it on if I don't have anything better to do. In a movie, at least 3 different girls will have da same hip-length hair style, (what da heck, did they get a 3 for 1 discount?) And now that they're merging with Naija movies, these annoying Ghanaians wanna start claiming movies. This lil girl started arguing with my sister that Tonto Dike is Ghanaian. lol!
Of all da Ghanaian movies my eyes have come across, I've hardly seen any done in a village setting, or have "regular" people in it. Everything is in "Accra". None of them talk with a regular Ghanaian accent. And when they really wanna act African "hood", they start speaking Nigerian pidgin with Naija words in it. Dang, be ur self.  cool

Unfortunately I am unqualified to really talk about this since I re'm not a fan of home movies aka Nollywood but,

I believe there are just as many bad Ghanaian actors as there are Nigerians. Coincidentally I have seen as many or should I say good Nigerian movies as I have seen Ghanaian and perhaps the Ghanians actually take the trade slightly more seriously.

Its a numbers (sales & marketing) game to use Ghanaian actors. Both countries speak the same language! Ghanaian actors attract patronage from the Ghanaian population. Simple, Gbam!

Re: Revealed! Real Reason Nollywood Producers Use Ghanaian Stars by SisiKill1: 7:03am On Jan 14, 2010
Van Vicker is cute? Really? Hmm.

Personally, i don't see the difference between the GH actors and the Naija actors. The Good Naija actors are from the older gen. I mean where are the Joke Silvas, The Shola Shobowales, The Patience Okonkwos? What we have instead are the one note hitting wonder kids who think the difference between acting happy and sad is having make up on with perfectly styled weaveon and no make up with your natural Kinky hair.

I mention only the women coz i don't think Naija movies give the men alot to work with. All they have to do is scowl, look confused and arch their eyebrows for a sensitive/romantic come here to daddy look.

The strength of a Naija movie usually rests on the shoulders of the lead actress.

Anyway, so people actually think that Van Vicker dude is cute?

Sisikill,

In ku jo meta at'abo. Are you a fan of yoruba movies?
If you are, then you'll know why I agree with this quote. . . .

nigeria should be happy that ghanian's are tapping from their brains in nollywood for their own prospct of development.
Re: Revealed! Real Reason Nollywood Producers Use Ghanaian Stars by SisiKill1: 10:33am On Jan 14, 2010
Ruby ojo kan pelu. . .lol.

I watch the yoruba movies but i won't call myself a fan. I can't say i'm of any of these Naija homevideos sef but from what i've seen, the older actors and actresses will take the younger accent faking, bad acting, bad dialogue delivery, american wannabes to school and back.

Sigh! They don't make 'em like they used to. Now every pretty face thinks they belong in front of a camera.

Re: Revealed! Real Reason Nollywood Producers Use Ghanaian Stars by THEAMAKA(f): 11:18am On Jan 15, 2010
Dammy_ray:

But do u think there making money for their industry?
not really, cause the more popular ones (the ones people actually desire to watch like van, majid, jackie nko) MOSTLY do nollywood movies now.
the actors may be benefiting from it, but i doubt their industry is(it seems they have left that place long ago. lol) if people want to watch those people and they're in mostly nollywood movies, nollywood is making the money here. maybe it has sparked some interesting in gollywood movies, but overall, the popular ones are now in nollywood movies. so. . .
