“I guess I haven’t found the right script
yet. Creativity and depth are the qualities that I look out for in a
script. In the beginning, the movie industry emphasised quantity but
things are changing and there is an improvement in trend. I am among the
people who advocate for the improvement of the industry. So said, I am
constantly watching out for the kind of stories I take part in. I am in
support of movies that show a great deal of professionalism and
creativity. Having practiced my art in international & professionally
produced stories like ‘Ije’; ‘Mirror boy;’ and ‘Tango with me’, I don’t
think I can return to the blandness and mediocrity that characterized
Nollywood in the past.”
Well, in an interview with Diamond celebrities, Nollywood director Mac Collins Chidebe obviously didn't find Genevieve's
description of the industry funny. Mac
Collins Chidebe said Genevieve should come and
improve
Nollywood instead of blasting the industry that brought her fame and
fortune. Read what he said below....
"Genevieve has just insulted the industry that made her who she is today
and what effort has she made to help improve Nollywood? Those days in
Enugu when Genevieve was growing in Nollywood, our movies were not
rubbish; she has grown now, made money, fame, popularity e.t.c, how much
has she invested in this Industry that made her? All the while she
was busy waiting for Titanic scripts, Nollywood was trying their best to
keep the flag flying waiting for her to come back and take the industry
to the next level. Artistes should stop biting the fingers that fed
them. We are watching and waiting for them to bring down heaven. We made
them stars; we are waiting for them to come back and take the industry to
the next level. Instead of blasting Nollywood, come and improve
Nollywood.” Chidebe said
