Money Was in His Heart After All


Seasoned Performer (SP) has always been in demand for engagements inside and outside of showbiz. Having SP in corporate shows means that the company could afford his fees and prefer him to any other performer. Thus, there is a certain sense of pride when a company hires SP for a show.

At a corporate event attended by various employees and officials, SP sang all out to please the audience. After all, the company is one of the biggest in its industry. The audience laughed at his spiels, clapped at his singing, and in their heads, sang-along with SP. Being very pleased, the audience began asking for more and chanted for SP to continue performing. Without hesitation, SP sang more songs. The crowd was impressed and pleased.

Once SP got off the stage, he started looking for the organizers and demanded to be paid for the extra songs he sang. Given that his contract and professional fee only covered a certain number of songs, he stated that he should be paid for performing the extra songs. After all, SP merely gave in to the needs of company employees.

The organizers were indeed shocked at the demand of SP. Lucky for SP, the organizers were not in the mood to debate nor bargains with him. Hence, they gave the payment to avoid any discussion with SP. During the evaluation of the show, the big bosses said that they wanted SP to be invited again and for him to perform in their shows. As a large manufacturing company, the company could pay for the cost.

However, the big bosses, who included top management of sister companies, changed their minds when they learned of the attitude of SP. Onstage, he was like an angel, who was ready to please the clamor of the crowd, but after the show, SP was materialistic and too talkative. Hence, instead of gaining more opportunities, SP lost a very lucrative chance, which would definitely have been more than the amount he demanded for performing the encore.

Looking at the short-term goal obviously negated any plans of the said company that would involve SP. Who knows, SP might have even be considered as a product endorser. However, with his attitude, much opportunity was lost and SP might not even be considered to perform in any show with the conglomerate again. Given that SP has been lamenting on his future with a network, he should have been wiser in dealing with the organizers.

  11. If M is wise, he should have been thankful for the corporate gigs and/or product endorsements that still come his way because of his less exposure on TV for months. How tactless of him. You expect a veteran performer to be learning or improving their attitude sana.

  12. It is not M kasi he doesnt deal directly sa organizer. He has a handler that handles that and he doesnt meddle.

  27. Eh if there was a contract with specific number of songs that he'd sing, why are they offended that he asked for extra compensation? He was under contract. If his extra performance made the whole event happier, they should have been thankful he did so and paid for it ng walang keme.
