Bearing with Changes

After many years serving a station and helping transform newbies into the industry’s important celebrities, Industry Insider (II) faces a dilemma. The issue is nothing new, as II has been used to making sure their talents are on the right path. Usually, such issues are easy to solve, as they can control the situation. This time, II has to study the events and see how else they can ensure that the appeal of Network Talent (NT) stays strong.

As most showbiz movers know, a celebrity is really only as good as his/her last project. A highly idolized talent can plunge quickly if he/she fails in a project or gets in an unexpected scandal that is close to a criminal act, such as being caught using or dealing drugs. In NT’s case, nothing that merits law enforcement has emerged. The station is really concerned with keeping her career afloat, as many talents are emerging.

Rather than keep NT in the freezer until the right project comes along, II informed NT of a project for her that will not be in their usual mainstream plantilla. NT did not like the idea and allegedly chided II over why a loyal talent like her is not prioritized. She cared for the fact that not all her fans might have access to the airing. What NT could not say directly is that her contemporaries are all having mainstream projects that are heavily invested in by the management. She ought to be at par with them.

The business side of NT’s career is that she is a contract star, whereby she gets to be paid even if she does not have any project. For II, who also has to look after the financial side of talents, NT’s skills have to be utilized and for the meantime, the project is the best option. This situation was a challenge that NT has to live up to.

Another suggestion was for NT to go online on her own, which is the path other talents have taken. She tried, but maintaining an online presence can be harder than expected and competition is tough, as well. Without dedication and a technical support team, going online is not NT’s best choice. Besides, her bashers might have a field day filling her site with negative comments, and thus, defeat the purpose of why she went online.

Everything has a limit, by the way. For II, if NT will not be able to refresh her career, then he might just let her be. He can only do so much.
