Loftiness of the Actor

What’s with the attitude of this upcoming performer (UP)? After his career was boosted by the surprising reception of fans of his series, it seems UP has developed an attitude that is making the press shun him. When he was starting out, he was said to be charming and endearing to his fellow workers. UP was also a refreshing face that broke the monotony of the half-Western mestizos of his network. He had an appeal that worked well with the followers who were fanatical over Asian looks. He also found a role in the career and love life of a more famous talent of the network. For now, UP is gaining more attention because of her.

Meanwhile, the negative publicities started to emerge. UP was labelled a user, bad host, arrogant, etc. Of course, the “bad stories” were signs that showed UP was about to have a good career. He was finally being noticed and had the opportunity to gain publicity by answering those issues. As the cliché goes, good or bad publicity is still publicity. In this country, publicity is important to drum up interest in the career of starting performers.

However, UP seems to be mishandling this situation thus making him unpopular with the press. Instead of gaining the sympathy from them, UP is slowly getting them out of his way. In a press event for an endorsement, the press got irked by his arrogance. While the media rushed to interview him, UP kept pointing to his handler for the reporters to get permission first. Even his station got the same treatment. The crew had already set up and asked him if they could ask even just three questions. UP did not budge and remained still. To their dismay, some press people could not help but lament how the bigger stars devote time to meet the press. Well, if no one bothers to check this UP's attitude this early, chances are all his efforts to get to where he is now will just go down the drain.  Remember that his movie even after the success of his teleseryes did not earn as much as the production had expected.

Hope it's not yet late for UP to mend his ways. As one talent manager once said: Fame is toxic. It can turn an upstart into a monster in 6 months.

The Paradoxical Response of the Actress

Sometime ago, the parents of a cancer victim contacted the camp of outspoken actress (OA) and requested if OA could possibly grant the wish of their child to see her. The sick child idolizes OA and loves her portrayals of her fantasy and non-fantasy roles. There was no problem because OA has been vocal that it gives her joy when her simple presence can make other people, especially the children, happy. OA's manager agreed to the plan. The reporters of the network were also requested to cover OA's visit to the hospital. After all, her visit would make a good story because she needs all the good news to balance the negative stories about her.

Everything was then set for an afternoon visit. The child, the family, and the hospital eagerly waited for OA's arrival. But a few hours prior to the visit, the newsroom of the network told OA's camp that no one from their team could cover the visit. The network had dispatched all its field/camera personnel to cover the wake of the comedy king. The reporters were all engaged in making their stories as tributes to the king as well. In other words, everyone was busy and no one can go with OA to feature her outreach.

To everyone's  surprise, OA cancelled her appointment with the child. She said that she will just visit the following week. By that time, the reporters would already be available, she reasoned out. Some say, that although OA might be sincere with helping people, one cannot help but wonder why the absence of the press made her change her plans at the last minute. Perhaps, OA can truly be admired for helping others if she imbibes what the legendary stars have done in the past. Most of the big name stars were respected and admired regardless of their indiscretions because when they extended help, they did so quietly, all in the absence of fanfare.

Another Cancellation?

From offering huge paychecks and pirating talents from the entertainment and news departments, to coming up with reinvented shows, those are the issues that continue to hound this network. When the alleged amounts of contracts started to leak out, people wondered how the new network could pay up and remain liquid in times of the country’s not so good economic standing. Part of the doubt had something to do with the fortified measures taken by the other two networks as well. Network A firmed up its dominance of primetime by coming up with no nonsense stories in their original teleseryes. Network B beefed up its daytime and news programming. The new network, although having the staff and the talents, could not really get close to the two networks. In fairness to the station, some of its shows have better concepts than some shows of the other networks. Still, advertisers, other than the homegrown consumer goods, were not enough. (Could it have something to do with its free yet bad TV signal, which has limited its viewership?).

Consequently, rumors of axing shows oozed from the network. Quickly, the network and its talents, who were allegedly bound to be affected, allayed fears and insisted no such moves would happen. Then, controversies came up that eventually led to suspensions and resignations. The reaction to the axing issues generated interest but it was not sustained. Lately, another issue has leaked out. Allegedly, the public affairs department of the station is due to be shut down. Gone were those days when the network was generous with the staff, as they are now feeling the scrimping and cost-cutting here and there. Some were heard to have regretted leaving their former network. Nonetheless, this alleged shut down could also be a way to strengthen the network’s other station (where its top-rating show that probes on legal issues was transferred last month). It was done so that the flagship network can concentrate on its entertainment programming. All told, are these things all forthcoming or will the network,as in the past, issue a quick denial again?

Much of a Team Player

Having found a new mode of fame, this transformed personality (TP) has not been spared from being taken advantage of by some players in his new field. TP was known to live a life of leisure as he has made more money compared to even the richest in the country. In fact, TP has made it to the list of the wealthy consistently for the past several years. Before his big transformation came into being, TP gave away money as easily as he changed hats (he used to wear those hats similar to what gangsters wore in Hollywood movies). He bought whatever he fancied, whether it were a car, a new home, or a building. His old entourage made sure he had women around. With women, came the booze and gambling. Indeed, he partied with wild abandon. He did not seem to care for money because his profession allowed him to be spoiled and pampered materially.

Finally, the wife had enough and threatened to leave him and bring along their kids. TP grew up with a very strict mother who raised him and his siblings single-handedly  when his father abandoned them at an early age. The threat from his wife jolted him. TP soon realized that his family mattered most. Soon, with his wife's support together with other religious personalities, TP had a major conversion. The most drastic change happened when the old entourage was banned from his home. TP then gave away his old possessions, everything that was connected to his old, despised lifestyle. He and his family began reading the Bible and found justification in the Word of God. Within a few weeks, TP became a changed man and lived it. Suddenly, he started to preach and testify to people about his transformation . While TP found his inner peace, he was not spared from those who want to dip their fingers into his pie.

In one gathering, a religious personality commented on the awful sound system. In a few minutes, TP signed a check for the purchase of a new sound system for their fellowship services. Then, another head of a church admired TP's nice car. The next day, a car was given to the pastor courtesy of TP. Still, another one lamented the need for a bigger venue for their gathering. So, TP donated a piece of land and the construction of the bigger venue. Of course, this kind of generosity (or abuse) did not escape his alert and eagle-eyed wife.

Although TP had been transformed in more ways than one, it seemed that the people around him have not seen him beyond being an ATM or cash machine. TP is trapped in a difficult situation where he could not afford  to ignore financial requests from his organization. Otherwise, he will be in a quandary where he can be subject to criticism for not being a "happy giver," a most-abused term often used by some of those running a similar organization. At this point in his life, apart from his family, TP takes his spiritual life very seriously. And anything that merits acceptance to a religious organization that he believes in is of paramount importance. This is quite a touchy situation to be in. Makes one think - when TP is stripped off his material wealth, will the people in the organization still treat him accordingly?
