Accept the Choice

Many celebrities often face decisions between career and love life. Usually, talents who enter showbiz with a significant other end up breaking the relationship for the sake of career. By contrast, certain talents have managed to balance their career and love affairs. Those cases require much understanding and support from each party, as management might require the celebrity to have an image as a single person. Being single gives hope to fans that the said celebrity is reachable and available. In other words, fans can go on pining.

When Pretty Actress (PA) made an impact in the industry, she was among the privileged ones to be in a relationship with Male Friend (MF). MF was in love with PA and wanted to her to be his last relationship. Sadly, PA fell into the showbiz dilemma and MF was dropped in a snap. MF tried to be understanding, but he was deeply hurt and depressed.

One day, MF was introduced to a New Girl (NG). NG admitted she was a huge admirer of MF, who was not interested. MF was still hoping to reconcile with PA. At that point, PA already shut the door tightly, as she stood by her decision of having chosen her career over her love. Then, the pandemic happened and careers froze.

As time passed, MF slowly opened his heart to NG, until she won him over. NG’s wealthy background was interesting for MF, whose career was also affected by the virus. Nonetheless, MF felt love for NG and realized he has moved on from PA. Tables turned. PA felt sad that job opportunities were scarce. Thus, she had time to think things over. She wanted to make peace with MF, but her calls were unanswered. She learned the truth that MF had moved on when she saw posts in social media. People in the inner circle could not help but think of how hard karma can hit.

Friendship Test

A test of friendship is the reaction of people whenever someone is undergoing stress coming from bashers or any incident that takes an emotional and financial toll. Although some artists have handlers to fix the situation, friends are often the best proof of support.

When the world of Talented Artist (TA) was rocked by intrigue, TA did what he knew best. As a showbiz veteran, TA knows that rumors die a natural death as long as the one targeted kept quiet, which is what he opted to do. Out of the blue, TA received a call from Female Friend (FF). TA appreciated the call of FF, who assured him of her support and conviction.

The two talked about past, would-have-been, and potential projects. Talking to each other was a good time to reconnect as well. FF then said that TA might just be part of a propaganda to earn from. TA said that he is always willing to help financially as long as he is asked. FF agreed with TA. Then, FF joked about TA lending her money. TA laughed hard. TA then said that as long as he could afford it, he will, as he is affected by the lack of work due to the pandemic.

Later, FF called and asked TA about the offer. TA thought FF was just kidding when she brought it up in their last conversation. FF was serious after all. FF then quoted an amount, which could very well be a talent fee for a project of a named celebrity. TA said that his money is tied in his businesses and he can only afford to lend her a fraction of the amount she asked. FF said that TA’s offer is acceptable and she would not mind accepting a cheque. FF promised to pay immediately. On hindsight, TA is aware of FF borrowing from other people. Thus, he fears that FF would not be able to pay him anyway, which explains why he only offered a smaller amount.

Humility Lesson

Among the talents of a network, Confident Celebrity (CC) gained self-assurance in her career based on opportunities given to her. Compared to other talents, CC was hardly between jobs. Her break between one project and the next was shorter compared to others. The network trusted CC and she delivered.

The trust in CC must have gotten into her head. While other talents waited in futility, CC became choosy with her projects. When CC felt that her role was not going to match her image, she turned it down. Another role was offered to her, but CC did not like her screen partner. Hence, she thumbed down the project as well.

During planning, the creative team often has a talent in mind in preparing a series. Hence, when a talent refuses, the plan has to be revised, which affects the entire work process. When the production teams had enough of CC’s rejection and attitude, they let her be.

Meanwhile, CC thought she could continue her exploration independently. CC ventured into various projects and even tapped others to join her. Unfortunately, most of them did not deliver as expected. Given that a celebrity’s status depends on visibility, CC’s absence threatened her career into obscurity.

Realization came immediately. When CC found out that a production team had a vacancy in the cast, she sprung a surprise. This time, she asked her team to lobby for her to fill that vacancy that was intended for another talent. The production team, upon finding out the move, could only smile. No one can be choosy these days.

‘Some people can be choosy because they're ultratalented or lucky or whatever, but yeah, there are certain things that might not be the greatest thing on my resume. But I don't sit back and go, 'Gosh, I wish I didn't do that.' It's all part of the growth of a career, whether you're an entertainer or a librarian.’ − Zach Galifianakis
