Moving or Staying

The entertainment industry seems to be undergoing a transition phase again, whereby the past weeks have shown a rigodon of talents. While senior stars can easily move from one station to the next, the younger talents are often left with a dilemma of when to stay put or when to pack up and leave. With many contracts expiring in the next few weeks, the younger ones are looking over the other side of the meadow to see if the grass were really greener on the other side.

In one network, two young hunks, H1 and H2, are envious of the outcome of the transfer of their former co-workers to the rival station. These co-workers had to make the move for various reasons, such as the end of their contracts, better offers, personal issues with other stars in the home network, and lack of offer. Thus, when they make the move, the new network immediately puts them as guests in flagship projects as its way of letting their viewership that this new artist is not part of the family. Utilizing its vast resources in free and cable TV as well as digital platforms, the new transferees are given so much exposure.

Thus, H1 and H2 became curious of the possibility of moving and returning to the other network, respectively. The two felt that they have been left out despite the years they have been with the network. For H1, he became disappointed when what was supposed to be a major solo role was given to a Newbie Model (NM). H1 then asked H2 if the other network really has better opportunities, but the latter reminded him that most transferees are relegated to supporting roles unless they were already big names upon leaving.

Meanwhile, a parallel story was happening in the said rival station. Talented Performer (TP) said that he was becoming unhappy, as the station does not seem to have any project lined up for him. Although he was discovered by the station and had several projects that were successful, TP seems to have lost the popularity he used to have prior to his taking a long leave. Then, Actor Dancer (AD) seems to be in the same boat. Even though he would be part of the supporting cast, the projects came one after the other before. Now, except for appearances in non-teleseryes, AD is not as visible. In case, AD makes the leap, then his reason could really be out of love. Moving to another network would make him closer to his current love interest.

Objectively looking at the careers of H1, H2, TP, and AD, one reason for their lack of projects is that their projects have fallen below expectations lately. Except for H2, the other three have no project that the public knows about. H1 is between jobs and no word has been given on his next project.

To add to the excitement of the exodus, several talents from the stations have been signed up by non-network-based talent agencies. By not being tied up to a network, these celebrities would have more freedom to explore other opportunities and try their luck in rival networks. Nonetheless, the race to a solid career is really a matter of survival of the fittest, or the one who could manage to garner the most attention from viewers and fans.

    1. True. Hindi hunk si H1-K(chinito). Wala ngang abs pero magaling umarte. He's well taken care of by his network so there's no reason for him to transfer for now. Baka si J yan na hunkie.
