If you ask anyone popular star which will they prefer to do: a teleserye or a television commercial TVC, chances are, majority would prefer the latter. Why? Because as opposed to teleserye which requires tons of work and really long hours of taping, TVC’s are usually shot in a day or two at most and pays a lot bigger. Which is why stars strive hard to clinch endorsement deals - less work, more pay, more exposure.
But being a product endorser comes with big responsibility. You are to protect your image and that of the company and product/s you are endorsing. Anything that sullies an endorser’s image will boomerang on her/him sooner than expected. And that includes being able to work harmoniously with people within the TVC’s production. All that and more entail deep commitment. Suffice it to say that nothing’s like a free lunch all the way.
Actress and endorser AE is an in demand product endorser. In one of her endorsement shoots, the hairstylist HS noticed that AE was not in her best element. By her expression, it was obvious that she was pissed. AE was so fussy and kept doing things that made HS work more difficult. When HS asked what was bothering her, AE replied, “ I’m okay.”
But any HS familiar with stars’ quirks knows only too well. HS sensed that her annoyance was about the styling he was doing on her. HS went on subtle defense and said that he was following instructions to do a certain peg for her. Then he continued working on her. Being at vantage point, HS got curious and looked at what AE was typing on her celfone. The message read that AE was complaining to her road manager RM that she was so pissed with HS.
HS was of course outraged, AE’s complaints are way beyond HS control. Had she been more prudent, AE could have asked for an HS of her choice before the shoot, but she didn’t. Instead AE chose to take her rants and gripes on him. Poor, helpless HS. - but make no mistake.. HS wanted to teach her a lesson. Toward the last part of the shoot, HS vented his ire on AE and intentionally burned her hair! Damage was quite big that AE had to have her hair cut short.
Moral lesson: As with waiters who will spit on your food in revenge, do not ever mess with your stylists.
