Feeling Big

The success of celebrities often hinge on the capability of the support system they have. Other than managers and production team, celebrities often have close family members or friends who comprise their inner circle. These people have access to the innermost feelings and secrets of celebrities, and believe they are stakeholders in the careers of the celebrities they are supporting.

Often, parents play the role of the prime supporter for most celebrities. These parents take it upon themselves to be present in every negotiation and every meeting that would decide on the next project of their children. Hence, a parent could be the nightmare or the savior of the network and/or the producer.

When Shapely Actress (SA) started with her network, the management saw her potential as the next big star. SA was talented, as she could sing and dance, and most of all, she can act. Then, she was also able to attract fans that are still behind her even until now. The network was happy with SA, as she had brought ratings and following to her station. SA seemed happy with the network, even though moving to another station is tempting.

Although everything seems to be in order, network insiders have noticed that a Prime Supporter (PS) of SA has consistently given them an unbecoming treatment. Instead of being thankful that the network is prioritizing SA, PS has been getting on the nerves of most people. PS looks into every detail of her project, and her meddling ways have sometimes gotten in the way of the production. Allegedly, PS would often made a big deal is a contemporary of SA is doing a project while her ward is still between projects.

Compared to other actresses in her network, SA seems to be consistently included in a teleseryes one after the other. This opportunity is quite rare, especially for someone as young as SA. Still, PS is not satisfied, as she would make an issue if some other star has a project, while SA still has to wait for the story con for the next one. The question is until when PS will keep SA working, as the celebrity might be tired, as she has barely enough time to rest before her next taping starts.

PS is not unique. Many of the big stars have had their mothers, fathers, aunts, etc… as their support system. The wiser ones made sure they also have control over the money of their ‘star.’ While others invested well, others merely wasted the earnings. Worse, PS and company think they are bigger stars than the celebrities they are supposed to be guiding.
