When Tarrying Talent (TT) was handed a script for a project, she scrutinized the cast. Then, TT made a comment that shocked the producer. She said some cast members do not have star quality. TT suggested asking an Industry Player (IP) to hire some of its talents who can surely attract the audience.
The producer responded by reminding TT that the situation has changed. IP might have been generous before but the times are different. Circumstances have made many talent managers hang-on to their talents unless the deal is worth it. Moreover, the talents TT suggested will not be shared by IP and the only way to get them is to offer lucrative packages to lure them away. Such is impossible at this time.
Meanwhile, the staff questioned the pickiness of TT. Allegedly, they have observed that TT is taking too much time before deciding on a project. While others are desperate for work, TT has received compensation and only has to give the go-signal for the cameras to roll. Besides, TT should be the one to make the adjustments to co-workers, who are not out to steal the attention from lead stars anyway. TT’s co-workers and production team need to work and most of them are on a no-work, no-pay status. Although timing is a consideration, sometimes grapes can age into vinegar instead of wine and the delays might affect TT’s stance later on.
‘Some of our important choices have a timeline. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus, an opportunity may be missed.’ − James E. Faust
