Such Absence of Manners

With the many talents being introduced by networks to the public, long-time viewers know that only a select few will survive the cut. Networks are very much aware that for every person they give a break to, a dozen or so are waiting in the wings. Hence, the turnover of talents is quite fast, and only those who exhibit the right attitude can make it.

When the network gave the chance for Pretty Talent (PT) to appear in various projects, the management had high hopes. After all, PT was a looker and attractive. Although her acting was still raw, the network thought that her skills can be improved by taking workshops and joining various projects. As long as PT would be patient, she might become the next important star of the network.

As time passed, PT continued to strengthen her spot in her network, but things were shaky as there were indeed many other talents. Then, PT met Familiar-name Celebrity (FC), who was loved by people. Soon, PT was being linked to FC. While it was no big deal for FC, PT realized that advantages of being connected to someone like FC. Thus, she started throwing her weight around.

With FC behind her, PT started acting like she was an important talent of the network. Her projects might be limited, but the people with whom she works with all feel the impact of her presence. Compared to fellow co-workers who are cordial and light to be with, PT can be aloof, arrogant, and whiny. The behavior of PT came into question, and speculations centered on her being linked with FC as the reason for her arrogance.

By contrast, FC had won over his co-workers because he knows how to communicate with them. Also, it helps that he has been exposed to the business since his parents are well-known in their fields. Thus, it was only a matter of time for FC to join the industry himself. Much is expected from him, which is why he has learned to behave, if not played the field correctly.

What bothers certain observers is that PT might be taking her being linked to FC too far, as she has really yet to give the network a show that reaps in ratings. Her career is too thin to be bragged about, and in other words, she has more to prove than FC. Her attitude does not help at all. One secret to staying in the business is the good attitude one shows to fellow workers regardless of their position in the network. If PT wants to stay long, then she ought to be sincerely nice to everyone, and not be a nightmare to her costars.
