While the top-tier talents of networks can relax during the pandemic even without projects, talents who were caught between jobs are the ones who are mostly feeling the financial effects. Many young celebrities, who are in the midst of building homes and paying off mortgages, have found themselves scrambling for opportunities to earn. After all, they have to meet household expenses and their savings might not last long enough until the next series or movie offer.
Realizing that her pockets are not that deep anymore, Young Talent (YT) called her management and asked for work. YT said she was willing to be locked down for taping if needed. However, most supporting cast members were not amenable to the idea of staying together during filming and will only work if a vaccine is available.
All was not lost. YT’s management informed her of a possible project with Hot Actor (HA) and their partnership was projected to be controversial. Controversies attract viewers and YT with HA would be talked about in social media. YT had no choice but to consider the project.
Meanwhile, HA has managed to keep his career afloat and his endorsements are consistent in supporting him. As he has a contract with management, HA has to abide by the decisions of his bosses. Ergo, he must follow and if that means being with YT, he has to obey.
Management spoke to YT and HA to drum up the promo. The more controversy they generate, the more interest would be generated. Fans would become eager to watch their team-up. In addition, handlers concocted their own gimmick and to renew interest in YT and HA. YT needs the extra attention, as she has not been seen as much as before the lockdown started. HA did not mind the idea, as work is just work for him, even if it means riding on management’s instructions. Regardless of any relationship angle, the two were stern with their “no comments,” as they know they cannot go beyond friendship.
