Every Deal is a Joy that Bears Value

Competition in showbiz is getting more and more competitive and fiercer by the day. Having talent and good looks alone will not land you a decent star status. You better have the right connections, a pedigree or royalty status to back you up, too. And what’s more, unless you know how to kowtow and do PR with the right people, you might as well forget your “artista” dream.

Showbiz to most people is the ultimate dream to fame and fortune, an answer to their misery, want and deprivation. To most watchers it is an addiction, an opium, a cult. A passport to instant riches if you are extremely lucky. The biblical phrase, “Many are called but few are chosen, ” also applies aptly in our local entertainment world.

Since there are many gifted and talented stars, not everyone manages to get a slice of the small pie. There is certainly a big gap for supply versus demand - many stars waiting for only a few projects available. So if you do not want to be caught flat-footed, you got to do your homework and learn to be smart.

To get projects, some stars resort to being ‘buddies’ with the “powers that be,” so to speak. Still others go beyond being just ‘buddies’ – if you get the drift. While still others go the safer route. Like this handsome but not so young actor HA who has to do some expensive gift-giving to a network top gun TG.

Reportedly, HA‘s projects just come and go, which is quite understandable since he is not that bankable anymore and as such had already seen better days. HA is a family man and needs every project to keep his family safe and sound. Thus to be able to get some favors, he and his manager decided to woo TG by giving him an expensive art piece. TG liked it so much and had it displayed in his new home.

Soon after, HA got word that he would be cast in the network’s newest project. So there you go: different strokes for different folks.
