Not Going There

Even if management makes no explicit proclamations, certain talents are given priority over others. To become priority and be given many projects depend on various factors. First, if a talent has a huge and responsive fanbase, then he/she will definitely have no time to rest. Second, if a talent has so much to show in dancing, hosting, or acting, his/her versatility can lead to many directions. Management would then find the best area for the talent to focus on. Third, if a talent has good people skills and knows how to interact with all sorts of people in the network, such disposition will not go unnoticed. Fourth, in rare cases, blood plays a role. If a talent has blood relations in upper management, the probability is high to be included in various projects.

Other than the reasons above, a fifth criterion is favoritism of a powerful insider. Some talents are favored over others as a result of expectations. Behind cameras, certain talents are more desirable than others, as they are willing to become chummy with people who matter.

Sometime ago, Hot Newbie (HN) was envied as he was singled out among many male talents. Powerful Insider (PI) took fancy on him. HN reciprocated and he soon landed roles in major projects. Then, his name was often cited in various publicity campaigns. It seemed that HN was among the best discoveries of the network. Then, after a few months, HN realized the momentum of his career slowed down. Worse, he does not seem to have any project recently.

Observers speculated. Allegedly, HN no longer fits the criteria of PI. HN is ‘too soft’ for PI, whose attention is on Cute Hunk (CH). CH was cast in a major project, while HN was nowhere. Unlike HN who seems to be playing both fields, CH has no sexuality rumors, which makes him exciting for PI. Thus, for now, PI’s attention is on CH. As for HN, his projects can probably wait.
