Endless Rivalry

Trying to fit in and being accepted by peers can really put pressure. In the entertainment industry, friends are hard to come by and newcomers certainly want to bond with their batchmates or at least with the people they are starting their careers with. The assumption is that newbies start on the same foot and they take similar steps until they reach the fork and from then on, they walk along their own path.

However, not all newbies in the industry think in this manner. For some, the earliest they could get an edge over their peers, the better it would be for their career. Hence, some newbies take advantage of every opportunity they get even if it means trampling on others or being labeled as scheming.

For Achiever Newbie (AN), things seem to be working out her way since the management saw her potential as well as her popularity. After getting exposure in social media and appearing in various shows of the network, AN is slowly getting her share of fame and the chance to prove herself. Things are looking up for her, but something is bothering her. AN has to hurdle a major force that has blocked her from being on top. Thus, most of her actions are now construed as a reaction to the Popular Talent (PT).

When PT had a product launch, her product was sold out in an hour and thus reached a certain status in the industry. Her drawing power was novel and it seems that she has much potential that could be tapped for her success. When AN saw what happened, she told the management that she could achieve more than what the product of PT reached. Even without any launching, observers were shocked that PT was indeed outshone by AN.

Unfortunately, this achievement became the topic in the grapevine. Although fans patronized AN’s work, talks have it that someone close to AN allegedly bought most of her products, and thus, the sales spiked and beating the record set by PT. When a Good-looking Colleague (GC) found out about the rumor, he started avoiding AN, as he was uncomfortable with the silent competition she has with PT. To spice up things more, GC prefers to hangout with PT and Another Peer (AP). Before, AN used to be part of their team, but now it’s just GC, PT, and AP bonding together.

‘It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.’ – Confucius
