Unfitting Gesture of the Verbose Manager

Image courtesy of www.amitsadik.com

Sometime ago, manager of a young artist (YA) got an invitation for YA to sing at a tween's birthday party. The event organizer  EV and the manager MA haggled for YA's talent fee until they were able to bring it down to half. The deal would be for YA to sing two songs  and he had to be onstage as soon as he arrived. YA had taping on that day and he would just be pulled out from there for the birthday gig. And deal was sealed.

The day came and EV felt relief when he saw YA coming. Suddenly, EV was informed that MA was going to do YA's  introduction to the guests who were mostly his young fans. Although that was not part of the agreement, EV agreed as MA is a popular figure, anyway.

But how EV regretted having agreed. They never expected that MA would do a different kind of introduction. As it turned out, it was himself whom MA introduced and lengthily at that.  He hogged the microphone and talked in detail about his life in the  theatre, vaudeville, and that of his being a clown. The guests were dumbfounded and annoyed, as they could not understand and connect to what MA was talking about. His kilometric talk was alien to the young crowd who were in their tweens (9-14 years old). EV thought MA's talk could have been appropriately addressed to the grandparents. Then after what seemed like forever, MA finally introduced his talent YA...to everybody's relief!

It was found out later that MA really does the "introduction" even in YA's mall shows.  And he now requires that he be part of the package deal in all of YA's out of town shows.

Although MA has his advocacy of reviving the charm and glamor of the olden times, he ought to know that every talk targets a particular audience. Grandparents in their '70's  up will more likely relish the beauty of the bygone era and not the ipad-iphone tweens generation where K-Pop is king.

  22. Si veteran sa isang very late night show.
    One time he was also a guest (and judge) sa christmas party ng company namin. Before he announced the winner.. ang lengthy din ng talk nya... about how things were done in the past in terms of tv and film production... how dedicated he is mula noon hanggang ngayon that lead to, "kaya sana po tulungan nyo po ang programa ko na bukod sa pagnood, lagyan nyo din po ng ads."
    I hope someone will make him understand that advertisers are after ratings. We can't blame the timeslot for having a low ratings.. its really the program format and the production value.

  36. The "Tween" word was a give away, as was the mall shows bit at yung pagiging clown. Diba nga may pelikula ba syang tagalog ng CLOWN ang title?
    Akala ata nya kasi eh kapag nagtalumpati sya sa mga kabataan eh magically they'll earn appreciation sa nakalipas na panahon. Instead, he's just alienating the youth more.
    OR...baka naman tactic nya yan. Sa sobrang urat ng audience sa mashondang baclang malaki ang tiyan, kahit gaano pa ka-nonsense yung talent nya eh parang Nirvana ang ma-achieve nila compared sa kuda ng puyat na manager. Hehehehe. -- baklang analyst

  42. Mas may quality nga ang mga show noon kesa ngayon tsaka mas mahuhusay ang mga artista pero ito namang si walang tulugan dapat di na ma-frustrate, mag-retire na lang siya tutal matanda na siya. siguro naman may yaman siyang naipon di ba... Gagayahin niya pa si negastar na mukhang magreretire na hindi na-sustain ang respeto sa kanya sa industriya at ng mga tao. Sayang, okay na, sinira pa ang sarili.

  50. Sa programa ni master shomai, naaliw ako kasi pati yung sound effects ng palakpakan/hiyawan eh lumang-luma. Sadly, kahit punung-puno pa ng mga tweens ang show, dahil sa timeslot nito at, sorry, pati na rin mismo sa kanya eh mahina ang hatak nito sa kabataan. Lipas na sya eh. Hindi naman masamang mag-retire. Hindi naman tinatanggal sa kanya ang respeto, lalo pa't naging haligi rin sya ng industriya, pero wag nang ipagsiksikan ang sarili at wag ipilit ang mga maka-lumang paraan.

  55. Vaudaville pa lang sa clue alam na. Sya yung mahilig magbanggit nyan. Sya yung namimigay lagi ng Birch Tree milk sa mga guests na foreign singers sa sunday show nya dati. Medyo naaawa rin ako sa kanya. Baka sad at walang makausap sa real life kaya pag may chance at may audience go sya sa pag tell ng lifestory nya keber kung di maka relate ang audience. infairness mabait naman sya pero yun nga lang laging out of place yung pagkwento nya sa past nya at laging mangiyak ngiyak sya tuwing kinukwento.

  56.
