Quiet Revenge

Like public service, being part of the entertainment and media industry is a commitment to fans and followers. Celebrities feel they owe the public their services. Without support, celebrities would not have gained their reputation, fame, and finances. While rivalry seems to be glaring to the public, the opposite is true behind the scenes. Unless a public fight or painful debate ensued, most celebrities are bonded with each other at the personal level.

When Businessman Personality (BP) realized he was about to lose his first love, he alerted his friends. Although BP could retire from the limelight, his commitment to his craft is deep and he cannot just leave his followers behind. Familiar Friend (FF) responded to BP’s request, which was not surprising, as they began their careers at the same time, but went on separate ways. FF assured BP that he’ll work for his case with the bosses.

Time was running out and BP received and accepted the disappointing news. BP had to move on. What BP did not know was that A Kin (AK) asked around why negotiations failed. AK had an insider bestie, who revealed the shocker – FF blocked BP’s application, instead of fulfilling his promise. AK felt betrayed as BP and FF were like brothers. AK was so infuriated that revenge reverberated.

AK knew where to hit FF and set the plot in motion. With reputation at stake, the higher ups allegedly called up FF to fix the mess. Meanwhile, BP was clueless as to what AK allegedly did and FF remained chill, as he was left in the dark why such happened.

Complicated Decisions

When a rumor of a celebrity sighting in a rival network emerges, the fandom and other interested parties are thrown in a frenzy over the possibility of moving. Social media subsequently becomes the field for comments and bashing about loyalty. Given the situation in the local entertainment industry, such activities are no longer remote. However, when Wanted Performer (WP) was rumored to have been spotted in the premises of A Network (AN), executives quickly denied, but said that WP will always be welcome.

Allegedly, such rumor was merely to gain attention if AN could be open to the possibility of WP joining their team. These days, establishments are wary of people going and out of their premises, which makes visits limited. Thus, WP being seen in AN is not highly possible, but online presence is.

What WP does not know is that the Management Team (MT) had a virtual meeting with AN. MT is exploring the idea of WP joining AN and what AN can offer WP. As soon as the new normal is established, AN will present plans for WP. Among possible talents, WP is indeed wanted.

However, transferring is not as easy as affixing a signature. WP still has a contract for shows. WP’s team is working on a drastically reduced fee for her services, which was the result of negotiations months ago. Nonetheless, business is business and WP cannot remain at such rate. A low talent fee means low commission as well. Still, negotiations are bound to be complicated even if MT can facilitate WP to move.

WP’s word of honor can prevent her from moving. Working with WP was the reason a Prolific Talent (PT) stated when an unexpected transfer happened. Hence, WP can hurt many personalities, such as PT, if MT says she has to go. For WP, MT has been with her since she started, while her workmates, along with PT, surrounds her with strong kinship.
