Justified Choice in Dropping the Highly-Priced Celebrity

Image courtesy of www.da3rd.deviantart.com

Other than network contracts that guarantee their bread and butter, celebrities are sometimes allowed to appear in projects outside of their mother studios to earn extra. As long as the terms of their performance do not violate their contracts and their schedules are open, then the said talent could earn some extra amount. Besides, if properly handled, the show is a win-win endeavor for both the producer and the talent.

Producing a show with a known talent can be a nightmare for new producers who think they can easily hire anyone they want. When a new producer (NP) was planning a provincial show, the name of Famous Heartthrob (FH) came to mind. FH can sing and dance, and literally could bring fans wherever he goes. His appeal seems to be unexplainable, as his female fans really go crazy over him. His numerous endorsements are from top companies, which also make him a favorite of big corporations. Naturally, a provincial show starring FH would definitely be awesome.

NP started making initial calls to the handlers of FH. When he was quoted the seven-digit price, NP was floored. Never did NP imagine that one talent could be worth that much. Of course, the talent fee is just the tip of the iceberg. The presence of FH could become a logistical and security nightmare. Thus, extra security should be hire. Then, he has his entourage, too. Everyone has to be fed and given accommodations. Based on calculations, NP will have to shell quite a substantial amount just to have FH, and still there was no guarantee that his return on his investment would be enough for him to venture into producing again. With a heavy heart, NP dropped the idea and started looking for the next option.

The choices comprised several names, but only a few have a similar charm as NP. The choice would have to be as good-looking and appealing as FH. Women fans will have to scream and become participative with the choice. Finally, NP knocked at the doors of a management team of Darling Celebrity (DC), who more or less appeals to the same audience as FH. Finally, after negotiations, NP was able to breathe. The management of DC quoted a reasonable price.

Therefore, NP learned his lesson in producing. Although dreaming something huge is possible, reality could sometimes make people settle for another option, which might turn out to be better.

Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. - Stephen King

    8. Hindi naman porke mahal ang talent fee nagmamataas kaagad. Ganun talaga pagsikat kaya nga mahirap makuha.

      FH = J - kasi marunong syang kumanta at sumayaw, si D hindi sumasayaw.

    2. 1:38 sablay sa Entourage teh, pag si J may event dalawang staffs lng kasama nyan. si D yan, sa qn M pa lng, kelangan talaga i-feed yun baka mag warla.

      Delete
    3. mukhang hindi pa ganoon ka-steep ang TF ni J para hindi maabot ng NP. kilala ko handler ni J, daming booking kahit sa probinsya. eh sa experience ko sa events pag outside manila, mas mahal lang ang logistics pero pag TF ng artist, usually nane-nego pa yun ng mas mura. :)

    4. 3:52 Kung si D talaga ang FH, ayyy grabe sya! Never got the appeal of that kid. Swertehan nga naman.

    3. I read about FH's TF in a newspaper too. 7 digits per E pa nga daw e. Yung kay DC, I heard na reasonable kasi yung friend ko, dapat kukunin siya for a private event this christmas. nagkasundo sa price, sablay lang ang sched dahil naka set na sa province si DC nun.

    1. DC is J. sabi kasi sa quote, "although dreaming something huge is possible, reality could sometimes make people settle for another option, which might turn out to be better". better-est option talaga si J, total package, looks at talents, medyo reasonable pa TF for now.

    2. Can sing and dance daw. Can sing lang si D

  18. Si A ba ito na man of the hour??? I think decision naman yun ng management nya at hindi sa kanya. Pwede ring way yun ng management para magrefuse sa offer. And deserve naman nya siguro yung 7 digits

    1. wala po sa initials clue si A. bago pa lng sya nagiging sikat, medyo over kun lumaki na agad ulo ng kampo nya.

    2. At kung si A man yan feeling ko papatulan ni NP yung 7 digits na fee nya kasi sure ang return of investment nya.

      I think it's D.

    3. Bago ka lang siguro ditto te. Hindi naman palaging nasa initials ng title ang clue ni FP. can "sing and dance" kasi kaya no way na si D ito. Never pa syang sumayaw.

  32. D can sing but can't dance.
    So FH should be J... and J had a 7 sum figure in most of his projects because those are hits
    The only talent viable or at par to the BI against J is A of k show but is humble enough to re-negotiate any contracts.
    Besides, A has alot of provincial shows at the moment compared to D.

    1. Sorry pero hindi 7 digits ang TF ni J. May friend ako na kukunin siya dapat for an event, conflict lang ang sched. 6 digits lang ang TF niya.

  36. Kahit sino pa to. I dont think the artist is at fault. Kung gusto ng producer ng mas bankable eh talagang mas mahal. Thats the business.

  37. hindi po yan si J... J is doing a series of provincial concert in small venues. nkapanood na ako ng concert nila at malabong mabawi ung 7 digits sa ganung venue. hindi sila magkakaroon ng ganung karaming concerts kung ganun kataas ang TF... humble ang team nila..

  39. FH-D and DC-J, aside sa nasa title initials nila, binase ko sa scientific analysis ko below: >provincial show- wala na halos si D ngayon, bka nga producers have many options now >can sing and dance- hindi nman sinabi magaling, pero keri na ni D or nililito lng tyu ni FP,lol >his appeal is unexplainable- hindi sya pretty boy at standard ang talent, kaya nakakapagtaka nga >numerous endorsements from top companies- check na check >as good-looking and appealing as FH- mas pogi pa nga si DC-J ah, kaya better option yun >Darling Celeb- for J, darling as favorite ngayon siguro dahil sa serye nyang O feel good >Entourage has to be fed and accomodated- eto pinakapanalo, ke C pa lang kelangan tlga yan pinapakain bka ma-highblood,lol sana i-post ni FP. hula ko lng nman po.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Tama ang hula mo.Si D and J yan.Pero not celeb's fault dahil mas sikat naman talaga sya.The fact na sya pa rin ang unang naisip ng producer,explains a lot.Kung my pera yun di na maghahanap ng iba.Di dahil sa mataas ang tingin sa sarili kundi dahil sa mataas ang value nya at bankable sya.That's business di yung may mabash lang.

    1. pag bf/gf, mag-asawa or related much, minsan yun isa wala sa title clue pero yun major partey andun. pero pag no connection lalo na Rivalries pa, at biggest or most controversial stars, nasa clues sila palagi. based on observation ko lng nman.

  57. I guess it's D but he really doesnt dance. Dancing is more of J or E's thing.

  58. Hindi si D Yan.. Hindi Naman sumasayaw Yun..sing and dance daw mga teh!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I guess FH is J (kinda thinking lang super bilis naman tumaas ng TF nya) & DC is A for he truly fits the adjective DARLING (of the crowd). According to my aunt who's an exec of a top ad company, D talaga has 7Digit TF as of last year pa because he can truly deliver. I guess I'll stand for J as FH and A as DC. Love you FP!!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. kaya nman pala push si A sa mga provincial tours.. magkano nman kita ng NETWORK sa kanya? worth it nman kay A ung bayad eh.. kse performance level tlaga sya.. unlike yung si X na wala nman talent!!

  61. Hay nako D waley na charm mo.

  62. Noooo! FH is not D! He can't dance! Mas ramdam ko si E ang FH kasi he can dance at pinapakanta din talaga sya sa mga performance nya.

    ReplyDelete
  63. "Darling Celebrity" - si A lang naman yan ngayon

    ReplyDelete
  64. bottom line: If you know your worth as a performer, it's your call to demand whatever TF you deem fit. As a producer, if you think a venture will not yield a reasonable return, walk away and move on to the next option.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Sa mga nagsasabi na si A to. I strongly disagree. Sobrang hectic ang sched ni A palagi sinasabi ng network. Kahit tvc's nakapila sakanya. So it's not him. And based sa title ng BI, J-ustified choice, D-ropping highly priced. Sure na si D & J yan. Kung ayaw maniwala na si D & J pwedeng si J & E. Pero sure it's not A

    ReplyDelete
  66. We recently got the services of J. His fee per appearance is not 7 digits. And he only has 1 person on his entourage. And even if you include his glam team, the fee would still be less than half a mil.
