Misfiring Collaboration

After testing the waters for all their loveteams, the management of the network now has a clear picture of the market of their loveteam. Clearly, Loveteam A has dominated the higher social strata of viewers, whereas Loveteam B has more viewers coming from the lower bracket. In short, Loveteam B is ‘pang-masa, ’while Loveteam A caters to the more ‘sosyal’ group of viewers. Moreover, while Loveteam B is lording over primetime, Loveteam A has more positive write-ups and feedback coming from the press and viewers, respectively.

Given this observation, the backers of Loveteam B are trying to figure out how to make sure they remain on top of everything, namely, ratings, write-ups, box-office, and endorsements. However, recent developments show that Loveteam A might just overtake Loveteam B at the rate other factors are moving.

The recent project of Loveteam B was given high hopes, as viewers were eager to follow the timeless story of the two young lovers in the series. However, the unraveling of the narrative started to take so many twists and turns that the original expectations were no longer met. For example, the more seasoned actors found themselves being hounded by their roles in unexpected loveteams. Thus, more viewers were following the story of the main supporting cast instead of the two young leads. The older actors were getting more exposure than Loveteam B, and some fans started to notice that something in the plot was amiss.

Worse, even if they say there is no competition, the upward and positive trend of the project of Loveteam A is affecting Loveteam B. Some followers have commented that Loveteam A’s project seems to be better that of Loveteam B. Because of the pressure, the brains behind Loveteam B had to brainstorm on the steps to take to remain at the top. To make sure Loveteam B stays number one, Influential Personality 1 (IP1) and Influential Personality 2 (IP2) had to collaborate.

Allegedly, IP1 and IP2 met with some members of the production and started giving their suggestions. Although IP1 has no experience in front of the camera, IP2 spent a significant time of her life performing, and thus the latter could exude credibility of sorts. The production listened and deviations from the original story were on their way. Unfortunately, loyalists of the original show were displeased and the fans of Loveteam B were aghast at the development.

While IP1 and IP2 might have had good intentions in protecting Loveteam B, the feedback in social media has grown uncontrollable. Fans have become impatient and in the process of reacting, Loveteam A gets to be dragged. Well, the think tank of the network will probably fix the mess, as Loveteam B is far too valuable to be destroyed by intrigue and displeased uncontrollable fans.
