Wrong Move

Whenever celebrities air gripes on social media, their posts usually set a series of events that could range from various netizen reactions to actions of persons to whom the post seems to be addressed. Sometimes, the effect is favorable, while for most celebrities, their management would remind them to zip it up. Still, some celebrities have not learned the art of keeping things private, especially when their post is career-related.

Many things are often considered by management if a talent deserves to be signed up for projects. Other than skill and looks, management these days consider bankability of talents. One is really only as good as the financial return of his/her projects. Thus, if a talent’s project performed below expectations, such as not rating well or getting as much revenue, the management thinks hard if such talent deserves another project immediately. If a talent has a contract, things would be smooth, but if a talent does not have a contract and works on a per project basis, getting work might not be easy.

When Versatile Talent (VT) went on hiatus, the break meant a no-work-no-pay situation. Thus, VT had to spend her savings and make sure her family continues to enjoy the lifestyle her career as afforded them over the years. Money is not inexhaustible and VT needs to return to work, which is understandable.

VT became impatient and made public her hunch that someone does not want her to have projects. According to the grapevine, such accusation has no basis, as no one is consciously making sure she remains in hiatus. Despite being talented and known, her last projects failed to pull the ratings and revenues. The management had to think over her projects. Remember that every appearance of an actor is an investment that the producer wants to earn from.

When management learned of the edginess of VT that was expressed to everyone, disappointment prevailed. The feeling was that VT was instigating some idea that was not true at all. Instead of feeling pity toward VT, the management did not buy into the angst of VT and might not even reply favorably for the meantime. For the higher-ups, a private talk would have been the resolution to the work problem of VT. One has to deal with such issue on a professional level.
