To Whip Up and Keep His Desire

After the network NE launched its new roster of talents , rumor mill was abuzzed with talks of a budding relationship between a newbie personality NB and a person of influence PI. But contrary to what’s being circulated, the rumor, err -- the relationship is nothing new.

Even before the talent launch, one of its personalities NB was already getting its share of controversy. The truth is that even when NB was still in the competition in a reality show RS, he had already caught the attention of PI. PI was said to be so attracted and enamored with NB that he committed to himself to take care of him once he was done with the RS - win or lose.

PI is known to be a generous benefactor to whoever catches his fancy (read: boylets BY). Being in a position of influence, he can easily cast in his project/s whoever he wants, much more if it is a BY he is currently fascinated with. And when it comes to promises made to his BY’s, PI definitely delivers. Proof? Right after NB got out of RS, PI lost no time and immediately cast him in one of his shows. If that is not walking the talk, then what is? Such is PI’s reputation.

His latest conquest, NB is now reaping the fruits of being under his TLC. As long as he “behaves,” NB will never be lacking in projects - just like what the other BY’s before him were.

Arrogant Director

When the proud director (PD) was starting out, he managed a string of hits in the box office that he declared himself as an heir apparent to a well-acclaimed director. This declaration was not well taken by the industry people and he was branded as too assuming. After all, he was very young then, while the well-acclaimed director had already directed some of best movies, now considered classics, in Philippine cinema. Some actually criticized how PD dared to compare himself with the said director when he had yet to direct an epic movie. However, since there were not enough skilled and talented directors during his time, he did his work and continued his box-office draw. In fairness, he did some good movies but he still has yet to direct a movie that would be critically-acclaimed like a Brocka or a Bernal.

Years later, PD had established his name and has directed the movies that launched the careers of some of today’s stars. He also ventured into directing telenovelas and he managed to pull through difficult and monumental dramas. Then, he joined the bandwagon and moved on to another network. Other than directing, he was given new tasks in the new network and had more exposure as well.

Despite the years, however, PD still continued with his effrontery. A few weeks ago, PD got hysterical and berated a network insider (NI) when something did not go his way. There was a delay in his salary and he blew his top at NI who was not even in charge of disbursing his salary. PD allegedly called NI b*b* during a taping and complained why he did not know anything when he is supposed to be holding a position. NI, however, kept his cool and did not engage PD in a shouting match. NI simply replied, “Hindi kami b*b*.” Hence, taping was unduly delayed because of his hysterics.

Well, although it was supposed to be a good movie, his most recent directorial job did not do well at the box office.
