Pretty Disappointed

When Fervent Talent (FT) was just starting out with his network, he was immediately given challenging roles and trusted with primetime teleseryes. For someone new in the network and an unknown among viewers, FT was propelled into fame. FT played the game well, as he shone in acting and was not shy to show his abs every so often. With the active publicity machinery of the network, FT became a heartthrob. For a couple of years, his projects came one after the other.

Unfortunately, not every day is a field day. The exposure of FT became minimal. For several months, he has hardly any daily projects that can strengthen his foothold on primetime. FT would have occasional guestings, and that was it. When a good project came his way, however, FT loved the role and believed in the premise of the project. He was paired off with Pretty Actress (PA) and both were excited over their movie.

When the screening date was announced, the followers of FT were shocked as the movie was going against potential blockbusters. However, the camp of FT was optimistic, as they assumed his network would help in promoting the movie. Nothing came out of it. Other than one or two mentions of his movie in some shows of the network, no promotional marketing scheme was tailored for his movie.

Upon realizing that social media and word of mouth were not enough to motivate the public to watch their movie, feelings of disappointment started to move in the mind and heart of FT. He was very disappointed that the network did not fully support his movie. Worse, FT has invested in the movie. Given the disappointing box-office results, it was doubtful if FT were able to recoup his investment.

Well, despite his misgivings, FT will be appearing in a project in the station. To prove that he is still a significant talent, FT must make sure he gets noticed and the project will not be short-lived. Otherwise, he will just be relegated and forgotten in the backyard.

As the official word is out that Liza Soberano will be playing the role of Darna, speculations have revolved around the actresses who will be playing the role of iconic villains. After all, nemesis roles are as coveted as the role of Darna itself. No hero can truly shine without the schemes of villains.

According to sources, Anne Curtis will be playing Valentina, a role inspired by Medusa. Curtis will be following the footsteps of Celia Rodriguez, Pilar Pilapil, and Pilita Corales, who have played the role in various Darna movie versions. In addition, Iza Calzado has been cast as an undisclosed villain. Both Curtis and Calzado are said to have been keeping fit in the past months to prepare for their roles in the project.

Another surprising name that is part of the project is that of Maricel Soriano. The comebacking actress will be playing the mother of Soberano’s character in the movie.

The role of Ding and other significant characters in the life of Darna are still up for grabs.

Exuding Arrogance

Anyone who enters showbiz must be ready for fame, which brings in the fans. Veteran stakeholders in the industry know that fans can make or break one’s career. Thus, the behavior of the celebrity towards fans is crucial if one were serious to pursue a career.

Newbies should carefully consider the fan-models set up for the various loveteams. These days, fandoms are very vocal on the state of their idols. Loyal fans can be endearing and generous with gifts, attention, and loyalty. Sometimes, networks are bombarded by feedback coming from fans, and at time, the networks listen to proposals or suggestions coming from them.

While networks hope that their new discoveries can be wiser and have caught lessons on how to deal with fans, Male Newbie (MN) seems to have been absent during the briefing. After starting off his career with the foundation of followers, MN is now among the new breed of talents being groomed by the network. Lucky for him, his following has expanded and his being partners with Female Newbie (FN) is among the most watched loveteams these days.

Expectedly, MN should behave nicely towards fans and the like. After all, he is now easily recognizable. Unfortunately, MN is still not used to being approached in public places. In one event, someone approached MN for a selfie. Most celebrities would stop and give a few seconds for the fan. In the case of MN, he looked back and said, ‘NO!’ Then, he further added that he knows the person who wanted a photo with him, and thus, he walked away. People who saw his behavior were shocked. How could someone who has been in the limelight in such a short time already have an attitude?

Regardless of circumstances, MN should be gracious toward fans. Showbiz, as the cliché goes, is a hypocritical business. Celebrities need to have the smile plastered every time they are in public. Fans only know the image the celebrities exhibit, and thus, most fans would not care at all for any celebrity refusing to stop for a photo. Ironically, one bad incident like what MN did could lead to bashing. It’s not a good start for his career.

‘An arrogant person considers himself perfect. This is the chief harm of arrogance. It interferes with a person's main task in life - becoming a better person.’ - Leo Tolstoy
