Closed Doors

As the pandemic and closure of a network shrunk the entertainment industry, talents need to seek other venues to earn. Although others are lucky to have established businesses early in their careers, these ventures do not have a guarantee of keeping finances afloat. Thus, many talents have to rethink the direction of their careers and face reality that earning opportunities are highly competitive.

Creative Celebrity (CC) is among talents who suddenly found themselves between projects. The network shutdown meant CC’s possible projects were set aside until better times. No one can assure when the pandemic will be over and production people are adjusting to the new normal. CC cannot help but worry, as one is only as good as his/her last project.

To set direction, CC requested her management to scout for possible projects with production houses. Her team reached out to and informed a Production Team (PT) of CC’s availability. CC has followers who are loyal and excited for her projects. PT played safe and replied that the bosses will talk about the possibility of CC joining their group.

When CC was brought up in the meeting of PT, the bosses were not too keen. They preferred to have more reliable talents join them than CC, who lacked consistency. A production is still a business investment and these days, investments are too risky. Moreover, Influential Insider (II) did not mince words for his dislike for CC. II has heard of rumors saying that CC has a diva attitude on the set and has a record for coming late. II raised the possibility of CC becoming a liability instead of an asset for PT. Furthermore, II pushed for the development of their pool of talents, who need to establish their careers and stake in the industry.
