With or Without Her

Guidelines have been released for conducting shootings or tapings for productions. Production groups have to follow the said guidelines prior to resuming work. For example, the number of production people is limited only to the essential staff. No kissing, intense fight, and rally scenes are allowed. Many directors have raised concerns that the stories of their projects would be compromised, but they have no choice but to abide. If productions do not follow the guidelines, they lose the chance to work, which would make workers on a no taping/no work, no pay suffer.

While making adjustments to their productions, management has informed the concerned talents of the resumption of their taping. A Prized Talent (PT) responded upon seeing the guidelines and added her own. PT preferred to have the gold standard covid-19 testing, while the network has given the signal only for rapid testing. The gold standard is more expensive and would take time, as the results would have to go through the DOH. PT does not want that only for herself, but for everyone who will return to the production. If her request will not be met, she will allegedly not return to work.

Meanwhile, the network is recovering from the losses of the past months and PT’s request would eat a chunk of the budget. PT raised the fact that she is protecting her family. Then, she raised the idea that she would not mind being cut out of the project if her request will not be met and she will not be angry at such decision. In addition to the gold test, PT wants her glam team of five with her. The requirement is that one should do one’s makeup and PT was not keen on that idea. PT has to maintain her look for the project and she needs her team to ensure that.

The bosses were told of PT’s requests and they said that they will review her needs. Hence, the schedule of her project was put on hold. Allegedly, the script has been placed under revision with no PT for the meantime and the creatives will attempt to see if the series can end without PT.
