Consequences of Greed

For now, decisions have put a period to a much-awaited project. The atmosphere is too gloomy that insiders already believe that the anticipated reunion might never see the light of day. When the news was revealed, the fans were left with disappointment, as their hopes of seeing Veteran Actor (VA) team up with Movie Partner (MP) on screen were dashed. It was only wishful thinking, anyway.

Over the decades, VA and MP together has always been considered an impossible dream, as the two had a falling out in their personal lives. Ironically, despite just being diplomatic on their personal levels, their fans never wavered in rooting for the couple, unlike today, when loveteam fans clearly distinguish themselves on either side of the partners. The case of VA and MP is different, as their fans are for the partnership and not just for VA or MP.

Apparently, someone thought that the time is right to bring back the magic of VA and MP and make the younger generation see why the two have always had that chemistry, which remains iconic. Thus, feelers were sent and initial meetings were set. Fingers were crossed that the parties would reach an agreement. Unfortunately, the meetings ended up with nothing.

Allegedly, VA has realized his worth in his teamup with MP. During their heydays, VA was allegedly getting lesser pay than MP even though they were built up as a loveteam. Today, things have changed. VA’s camp insisted that VA should already be at par with MP. Coming from a top-rating show, VA wanted top billing and higher pay than MP. Accordingly, he knows that any project he will do with MP will be a great hit and he believes that he ought to be well-compensated. The offer was “take it or leave it.”

The camp of MP turned down the demands of VA, as the accomplishments of the actress are far more than what VA has done in the same time. Besides, on her own, she has a better probability of getting a box-office hit than MP. Thus, the offer of VA was thumbed down.

Even if fans would be sentimental at seeing VA and MP again, the reality is that the partnership of the two is but a business deal with high risk. With the unpredictable movie market, there is no assurance that their movie would indeed earn as expected. So, now, no movie will ever happen as long as the two camps will refuse to budge on their offers.
