Denied Mission

Some time ago, an agency contacted Young Celebrity 1 (YC1) and Young Celebrity 2 (YC2) for a possible project. The concept was for two female leads to play best friends. However, the two had to undergo a look test to determine if they would register well given that the ad would just be for a few seconds. Both were indeed excited, much more for YC1, as this potential project could expand her popularity. Being seen beyond her network projects would surely make her more known.

The day of the results came and the two were eager to know when the cameras will roll. After deliberation and much consideration, the panels made a not so shocking decision: YC1 was dropped and only YC2 would be taken in. Allegedly, YC1 did not register well on screen and lacked the charm the product needed. In other words, YC1 came out boring, which could backfire as the product is targeted at bubbly millennials.

YC1 was shocked but could not throw a tantrum and neither could the family wealth buy her way into the ad. Time passed and the project was put on hold. Still, YC1 was very disappointed, as YC2 scored another advantage. Then, YC1 found out that the company decided to pursue the project and as noted earlier, YC2 was still the lead.

Trying to salvage a deal, YC1 talked to YC2. YC1 requested YC2 to persuade the production team to include her. After all, their careers seemed intertwined anyway. However, YC2 did not budge, as it is not her nature to put forward a strong personality and behave like a diva. Second, YC2 knows that she’s not in a position to make such request. She’s just a talent for the project and she has not even developed the clout to make any major requests. Hence, YC1’s plea to be included was futile. Sadly, when YC2 tried to reach out to YC1, she only received a cold shoulder. Her texts and calls were unanswered and obviously ignored.
