尼日利亚电影业:低成本高回报的全球商业奇迹
In Lagos, a film crew can wrap an entire movie in ten days. That is the norm for Nollywood, Nigeria's booming film industry that releases thousands of titles each year. What makes this remarkable is not just the volume but the business model: shoestring budgets, rapid production, and direct-to-consumer distribution.
Instead of expensive studios, filmmakers rely on natural light and local neighborhoods. Actors often work for a flat fee, and scripts are written on the go. A typical film costs between $15,000 and $50,000, yet can earn millions through DVD sales and now streaming platforms. This lean approach has turned storytelling into a self-sustaining engine.
