Building His Career Zealously

Nothing will stop networks from discovering and building up new talents in the entertainment industry. Over the years, all networks have managed to make famous people who were virtual unknowns until they were given exposure and became well loved by the audience. Out of the tens of thousands who try to make a career in local showbiz, only a few could claim that they are truly stars, homegrown or otherwise.

Hopefuls, of course, cut across those who have contacts and those who were discovered in reality shows. Coming from a showbiz clan, having famous parents, and even possessing looks and talent do not guarantee that one can make it big in the business. Nonetheless, networks pride themselves in discovering talents who do not have any showbiz connections. Once a network decides that someone has the “it” factor, the management will give this person the opportunity to shine.

Although making someone famous sounds easy for a network that has resources, the sure climb to fame has to have a plan. Part of this plan is the packaging of a talent. For example, the management will put its foot down on the details of the private life of their talent. The plan will make sure that the image that will be created for a particular talent will match what the talent is capable of doing.

When Hunk Model (HM) got the opportunity to gain exposure on live TV, he immediately grabbed the chance and played along the circumstances of his break. HM is not new to the entertainment field, as he has a name in modeling because of his stance and his physique, which seems to be synonymous to mythological gods. Coincidentally, these gods are known for fathering so many children with different women and although, they are regarded as god, their behaviors do not reflect the image they represent.

Part of the image being built for HM is that of a matinee idol. With his handsome features, being portrayed as a matinee idol is not going to be an issue. However, in the industry, matinee idols have to have a squeaky-clean image, that is, their private lives should be as wholesome as what the network wants the audience to believe. Contrary to his new image, HM has allegedly worked as a hosto (male entertainer) in a Japanese bar somewhere in a bustling local city. This tidbit contradicts the story that HM worked in Japan. Such past of being a male entertainer is open to speculations that could harm the matinee idol image being built for him.

Then, HM has been claimed to have fathered three children with different women. Sometime ago, his admission that he was already committed to someone earned praises. He made the confession even though he seemed to have found himself in a situation where another person was falling for him, which fans seemed to enjoy. Even before things could beat up for HM, stories of his alleged true past are mushrooming. Hence, if the network is bent on building him up as a matinee idol, expect damage control to follow.
