Whenever the syndrome of No Sex, No Role is made mention of, the
ideology of “give what you have to get what you want” comes to mind. It
is obvious each one of us is capable of doing anything for someone to
get a benefit or an undue advantage in return. “Everything in the world
is about sex except sex. Sex is about power”. Therefore the illicit
practice of warming directors and producers bed to get roles should not
only be attached to the movie industry. It is in all sects of trade. But
just that, that of the movie industry has become methodical.
Sequel
to my article titled “Sex Scandal Hit The Movie Industry”, which sought
to criticize people indulging into such dubious practices met a severe
rebuff the from the public. The provoked views exceeded the supportive
ones, hence, it tended me to believe that, many are they that benefit
from these ill-sexual pleasures from their subjects. “Afterall, it’s not
rape but an agreed sexual act”; says one of the comments. At first I
felt the need to fight solely for the desperate wannabes whom are mostly
sexually exploited. But fortunately and unfortunately, the responses
from my readers revealed to me that; many were displeased with my course
and instead defended it as not only in film-making but a form of
corruption trending in other professions likewise. These are mostly
sexual advantages taken over ladies to offer them job opportunities,
salary increment, promotions among others. In the hospitals; it’s
between doctors and nurses, in offices; it’s between bosses and their
secretaries, in higher institutions; it’s between lecturers and female
students, even in churches; it’s between pastors and the female
members.etc. So, for one to attribute such practice to only the movie
industry is being selective.
In quest to seek the cause of this
ugly lewd; my research indicated that both directors and producers on
one side and the artiste on the other side contribute to the course.
A
careful study of behaviours of wannabe artistes has proven that, they
are rarely impatient when it comes to matters regarding their ability to
become stars out of the blues. They are utterly ready to do anything to
attain it without taking things into consideration. To my dismay, those
that usually force themselves on the directors and producers are taken
advantage of accordingly and are not even casted “walker-pass” roles.
It’s obvious they know to themselves they are not good enough for a
role, yet, fight for it by blatantly offering themselves cheap to the
film-makers to be used as wantoms.
In other times, it is those
unprofessional film-makers who coax their actresses and get them into
their beds, by promising them lead roles. They use a bit of experience
to beat them; mostly in this format; “Do you know you’re good? I want to
help you, you’re very potential though the industry is very
competitive, but I’d make sure I’d help you. You must also be kind by
giving me what I want, which is ………………”. After long thinking, the
impatient actress would oblige since her stardom is at stake. These are
the usual signs of such tricksters. They only use empty promises to get
what they want.
Worse of it all, these actresses sometimes stoop
low for even floor members of the production to have their share, all in
the persistent pursuit for a dreaming stardom. These wanabes are so
anxious and ignorant that they believe and do whatever a self-acclaimed
movie-maker tells them, just like a sheep following its master to the
abbatoir they are exploited.
As a result some actresses have
already turned “industrial prostitutes” since they are just breaking
every sphere of the industry with sex.
My word of advice as a
film-maker is that; wannabe actresses must be patient in their chase of
stardom. They must not force themselves on the industry men; if you’re
good player, you would surely be heard of, through hardwork as Nicki
Minaj once said “I want people – especially, young girls to know that in
life, nothing is going to be based on sex appeal. You’ve got to have
something else to go with”. Keeping constant rehearsing and broadening
one’s scope about the industry would better give artistes sound judgment
towards the job.
