Gone opportunity
Movie roles are often written based on characters concocted by a writer’s imagination or on talents who could be challenged by the parts. Sometimes, writers are instructed by producers to create a role for a specific talent for that to gain followers.
When Undecided Actor (UA) found out about a project was being made with him in mind, he became excited. After reading the script, UA was convinced to do the part. UA then consulted Influential Person (IP) about the project.
When IP went through the requirements of the script, disagreement followed. IP became uneasy with certain parts of the role that required UA to do more than his usual acting. UA needed to show a bit more of himself and engage in a few physical scenes. UA said he could handle the requirements and technology can always be done to enhance uncomfortable scenes. Still, IP was not convinced and opened up the idea that the project can lead to social media frenzy and bashing. Finally, UA realized IP’s opinion weighed more than the possibility of growing in the acting direction of his career.
UA told his friends about the botched offer. His friends were dismayed at the opportunity that slipped from his hands. Subsequently, he was advised not to always take what IP says to heart unless he wants to keep his career stagnant.

When facing fans and the public, Controversial Celebrity (CC) shows his best side. His showing of his warm and caring side endeared him to many. CC has earned heaps of praises from people in the entertainment industry. They talk about his generosity and sincerity, given that his family is known to help common folk.
However, such is just one side of CC, as he can be quite cocky at times and sarcastic in his remarks. Still, he has many friends who will defend his behavior. One time, CC decided to ask support for a personal endeavor from a chat group. As members of the said group come from diverse backgrounds, not everyone was pleased with CC’s request.
In reply to being turned down by a Group Member (GM), CC politely addressed the answer. He replied positively, which showed he respected GM’s dissenting opinion. Everyone in the group could read the exchange after all. Later, GM received a private message from CC. The note was a reversal of the kind words earlier. He threatened GM and invoked a past incident involving him and GM. GM was stunned but the exchange revealed that not all is what it seems with CC.
As the messages became viral in social media, certain netizens have reported that their reposting has been removed for whatever reason, while others have deleted theirs to give GM privacy and safety.
