Just a Mediocre Personality

Other than the usual obligations to their respective networks, being seen on TV and in the movies, and performing in out of town shows, celebrities are often requested to guest in various corporate shows. The advantage of gracing corporate shows is that payment is quick and commensurate to the rate of the talent. For only a few hours in a corporate show, a celebrity could earn an amount that would be equal to several taping days. Moreover, the celebrity has a captured audience who carries the corporate culture. The celebrity is thus assured that he/she will be accorded respect.

When a company hired Attractive Celebrity (AC) to perform during the celebration of their anniversary, the employees were excited. After all, AC possesses one of the loveliest faces among her peers and in the past months graced various shows of her network. Once the price was set, all AC had to do was show up and perform. Naturally, the hype was there and the company personnel waited for AC.

Given her six-figure payment, AC was expected to perform at least two to three songs, which are the usual number for corporate shows. Thus, the company anniversary organizers were aghast to learn that AC only prepared for one song. Rather than make a big deal out of the matter, the organizers pinned their hopes on the other agreement, which was AC participating in the games with some male employees. Well, AC refused to join the fun. To prevent AC from looking odd by just being there, the organizers requested AC to draw the winners for a raffle. The raffle was set during the event just so AC would do something.

Although she has yet to prove her worth, AC acted like a diva during the event. AC was so uncooperative and even her handler was giving the organizers a hard time. Regret came too late, as the company realized that AC’s beauty was only skin-deep. In reality, AC was hard to work with and threw her weight as if she was the most important person that night.

This lack of cooperation of AC was very noticeable because Gorgeous Hunk (GH) behaved differently. Although GH did not sing, he was accommodating and played games with female employees without complaining. He lived up to his reputation of being a gentleman and did not disappoint the audience. GH even stayed after for photo-ops. Between AC and GH, the latter is more bankable and far more competent that AC when it comes to his screen credits. Yet, GH did not bring such weight with him as he graced the same corporate show. Perhaps GH knew that actions in front of a live audience, regardless of number, have more consequences that being seen in a teleserye. Unfortunately, AC cared for nothing less.
