Savvy for Money?

Image courtesy of www.notonshelf.blogspot.com

Talented Star TS had an out-of-town show recently which was hugely successful. She was in high spirits during the concert and was mobbed by her over-eager fans. The Head of the City HC learned about the show and he instructed The Producer TP to invite TS in the city's office. After the show and before heading back to Manila, TP immediately discussed the courtesy call to HC's office. TS' camp asked if TS would be paid extra for the requested appearance. When told that there would be no additional fees, they became disinterested and made excuses that TS has bruises on her body that resulted from the mobbing of the fans during the show, and therefore would not be "nice" to do a courtesy call.

TP knew that it was just an alibi, he was pissed and slighted that HC's invitation was turned down. He fumed and threatened that if TS would not appear in HC's office, she would be banned and would no longer be allowed to perform in the province. The threat seemed real and thus TS group was forced to comply.

When they finally appeared at the office of HC, TS and her group were warmly welcomed. However, TP and his team noticed something very obvious - there were no visible marks on TS to justify the previous excuse. Apparently, it was just a bluff to avoid the invitation after learning that there would be no payment involved. Big stars should earn not always be money-motivated for every little act requested of hem. Déclassée.

    1. TS = mukhang si S ito. base sa quote na may initial PS. pero tingin ko this should not be taken against TS camp. bakit kasi nagset agad ng courtesy visit si TP ng hindi muna kumunsulta kila TS, tuloy na kumpormiso sya kay HC. dapat si TP and batikusin dito at may gana pa syang mang-black mail.

    2. Alam ba ng campo ng artista ang ibig sabihin ng "Courtesy" Call? I the first place, kung edukado kang tao, ginagawa talaga ito pag-arrive na pag-arrive mo pa lang. Kahit nga normal na tao, nagbbigay ng courtesy calls sa authorities, not only from the government basta any other establishment. My gosh, what happened to the values of these artists?

  2. Kung sino man si talented star, hindi kaya kaya lang sila tumanggi dahil baka magamit sila ni politico sa darating na eleksyon? Kaya sila nag tanong kung may bayad kasi baka mamaya yung mga pictures ni star with politico eh isama sa posters, campaign paraphernalia etc etc.... Tanong ko lang kasi no idea talaga, kung mga artista ba nag provincial shows, required ba dapat na mag courtesy call sila?

    1. Yan din ang tnong ko about jan s courtesy call, bkt kya di na lang si politician ang sumaglit dun s show kht backstage man lang,as way of welcoming the artist to show hospitality. Zaka ano b mppla ni politician kung magcourtesy call sknya.. Bkt kelngan p ng threat? Though mali din nmn kc c artist to give lousy excuse.if you're rejecting someone,the least thing you can do for them is to tell them the true reason.

    2. It is NOT UNUSUAL na mag-courtesy call ang artist pag may performance sa province, and about dun sa campaign, I think hindi pwedeng basta magpagawa ng campaign poster/banner with an artist na nakasama mo lang sa isang casual photo-op for that purpose.

      Delete
    3. Hindi naman campaign poster ang gagawin eh. Syempre, maraming tao ang manonood kay PS and HC will just ride in the frenzy. PS gets seen with HC = instant free coverage and media mileage! Gets mo te? Parang mga politiko lang yan na dikit ng dikit kay Pm*n!

    4. Pwede ba tumigil na yang mga pa-improtanteng TRAPONG POLITIKO na yan. Kaya nga "courtesy call", kusa nung bisita hinde pwedeng ipilit. Eh kung ayaw bang magpakita ni TS eh, may metro yata ang oras niya. Kabuhayan niya yon no, bakit ang daming humihimgi ng libre? Ang doktor ba o abogado basta mo nalang pwedeng pagawin ng trabaho ng walang bayad? Fair ba yon? And besides, hari ba yong politkong yon? Napaka-feeling talaga ng mga local government unit na yan. kelan ba nila maiintindihan na hinde sila ang boss ng tao, at TAO ang boss nila? kadiri talaga.

    6. Ate, kaya nga courtesy call, ung guest (na may kailangan sa lugar_ ang pupunta directly sa authorities para bumati. Isipin mo, kung ang politiko ang bibisita sa show, hindi ba mas mukhang campaign ploy yon kesa courtesy call.

      I don't know your way of thinking, people, but giving a courtesy call is just ethical. Think about it, if you visit the residence of your partner, do you not give courtesy to his/her parents to announce YOUR presence and pay respect to compensate for whatever disturbance you may cause?

    5. Hay naku may video na pumunta sya sa city hall before the concert day ang dami nga tao. True na dinumog sya ng mga fans pero game pa rin sya at tinawanan na lang nya at hyper pa rin kumanta. May manager at handler para magnegotiate sa mga ganyan. This BI makes it appear na its the TS mismo ang may ayaw.

    6. sorry pero naunang makipagkita si S kay G ng bayan bago yung concert nya plus PRESENT ang family sa concert and may pasa talaga si S at kalmot :) kaya bago magbintang eh magresearch muna ha!

  19. ha? not true. there are pictures of the P on social network showing bruises on her limbs. fans noticed it in an episode of her show after she returned from the province. hay, kelan ba tatapusin yung contract from h*ll na ayan. damay tuloy si P.

    1. Not P po. Matagal na yung kanya. This is a recent event and take note, no bruises can be found on her body as they claimed. So this is not P. Try to check the initials on the title. :)

  22. Teka, wala bang k ang mga artista tumanggi sa mga ganyang request? Eh for sure ginagamit lng naman sya nung politiko. Kaya dapat may tf din appearance nya dun. Ganun lng yun ka simple. Wag na plastik.

  23. Dapat ang blind item is about the politician na power tripping...kailangan mag demand talaga ng meet with the stars? Pag hindi napagbigyan i-ban sa city nya? On what grounds? TraPo...sana matalo ka sa eleksyon...

    1. it's the TP who made the threat not the politician. for all you know okay lang sa kanya na hindi pumunta but the TP wanted to probably make a good impression. courtesy call is a usual thing but not a requirement pero wala namang masama talaga if she would go. the city (the people) welcomed her well so it's but proper to thank them and one of the best ways to do this is to pay the mayor a courtesy visit. and she has possibly made a lot of money from the show anyway so what's a 'free' appearance at the city hall. it's not like she's gonna perform for a talent fee to be accorded her.

      Delete
    2. mali dapat si produ and i-blind item. maano bang ipaalam muna ka star na may invite si politician bago sya nga-yes. si produ ba ang dadalaw kung maka-oo sya. baka naman nabulsa na ang bayad.

  27. Hmm, personally I don't think artistas should be obliged to do courtesy calls to politicians.

  28. Pinag bigyan na nga ang lakas pang mag duda. Kong ako sa singer na ito so what kong e ban sya puweding ereklamo yong politician dahil hindi mo dapat pinag babantaan ang isang tao dahil hindi mo nakuha ang gusto mo. Kong gusto nang singer kumita may karapatan syang tumangi. Yan ang problema sa atin porket may power daw nang kaunti akala mo sila na yong masusunod. Sana kong sino man ang politican na ito hindi na manalo.

  30. Fp it should have been déclassé. Déclassée is used when there is a direct preceding reference to the described subject as female. As far as this article goes, it was early on indicated that the character in question is female but there was no such explicit mention of gender in your sentence before your final mot juste whip. In french, one has to be precise and gender of nouns are very important so much so that even when most subjects adverted to in a statement, sentence, and other what have yous are dominantly female, inclusion/ presence of any thing male causes the pronoun address to shift and adopt a masculine tone.

  31. The politician was in the audience during the concert. I don't think this is true. At na video naman talaga na she went down when the fans suddenly charged her.

  32. kaloka ang mga nag-cooment! ang issue ay yung sagot ng TS kung may bayad ba ang courtesy call or not! pera ang issue hanuh at ang kanyang alibi! hindi ang politician kasi buti nga at invited sila sa province na yun kaya dapat honored ang mga artista/s pag ini-invite sila ng mga taga dun sa lugar ng show nila. simple lang po ang issue!

  33. TS have all the right to ask for more money if she wants to. Dapat di sya nagpatakot sa politiko. Naisahan tuloy siya ng tusong trapo.

  34. Matagal ng practice na dumadaan sa city hall para magcourtesy call sa mayor ang mga artista na may shooting or show sa lugar ng mayor. para din mabigyan sila ng proteksyon.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Teka di naman si HC ang nagpumilit na pumunta si TS. Si TP ang nag threaten na ipapa ban si TS dahil naasar siya sa no pay, no appearance policy ng camp ni TS. Hindi kaya si TP ang ume-epal kay HC at gustong magpasikat na iharap sa kanya si TS?

  36. May show nga recently si M sa D

  37. I have feeling this is P. Si family member D ang dahilan.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I think a courtesy call is to be expected. If she doesn't want to be used for the politician's campaign, her people could let the politician know that. If she would have to lie, she should have come up with something that would not be easily verifiable. That's really insulting to the person you're lying to. Plus the money excuse is just plain tacky. But then again, I'm sitting on my high H here not getting paid for provincial shows and thankful not to kiss politicians' asses.

  39. Im frm D. im sure hndi yan dito ang HC na yan, ksi di nman yun mahilig sa artista and besides wla nga ciang kalaban, so khit hndi cia mangampanya, mananalo cia or khit may kalaban cia landslide pa rin..

  40. Si S ba ito? Na-mob siya ng fans sa probinsya sa hilaga kailan lang...free concert yun dahil sponsored ng province/city ,May karapatan din naman tumanggi si TS (kung si S nga siya) kasi napabalita nang dinadaya sya di ba? Nagiging wise na lang siguro siya dahil hindi naman siguro napag-usapan ang courtesy call sa itinerary at baka may hinahabol na schedule pa given maraming raket etong si TS.
