Very Intriguing Decisions

Connections can always make a difference in careers of starting talents who are bent on establishing a name and getting a share of the pie of the entertainment industry. A stronger connection is one who can guarantee exposure through meaningful projects and not just promises. However, everything comes at a price and some talents are willing to pay it and even a bit more.

Just as when people wondered what would happen to the career of Hot New Celebrity (HC), he suddenly resurfaces in several marked projects. HC was supposed to be one of the talents A Network (AN) vowed to build up and obviously, make famous. AN tried to make HC famous, but efforts were in vain, and circumstances that were beyond HC forced him to find work somewhere else.

Lucky for him, Prominent Personality (PP) was already eyeing him. PP cannot be blamed as HC oozes with appeal and can act and sing. In other words, investing in HC can pay off. Known for having an eye for cute and talented hunks, PP did not hesitate to invite HC and see his opportunities. For someone who has nowhere else to go, HC could not refuse.

If rumors are to be believed, PP was smitten. After all, HC fits the mold of his previous talents, who more or less were on the same path as the one being followed by HC. As soon as a good-looking talent is taken in by PP, expect that talent to appear in the projects of the network. First, the talent has guestings in non-primetime shows and after a few weeks, the talent is suddenly given a big break in a major project. Such leap is rare for most of the homegrown talents, who have to wait for their turn. Then, once the network has milked the talent or perhaps, if PP decides to move on, the talent can either use the reputation PP helped him establish or go astray and thus, slowly lose the luster. Consequently, the fans will move away as well.

Similarly, the grapevine reverberates with the claim that PP and HC are more than mentor-mentee. Allegedly, the two have a very special relationship, which paves the way for HC to be part of major projects of the network. Hence, not only is PP investing in HC, the latter knows what being close to the former can do for his career. If he plays his cards right, HC can be the next big star of the network, but if he clams up midway, lets success enter his head, which is a major mistake for many celebrities, and refuses to follow PP, he might end up with nothing.
