The Most Important Person in the Shooting Studio

 

When I was a university student, I held a part-time job for a TV program. Yes! I was an actor. But I wore a cute monster’s costume. Of course, my face was covered. Acting in costume was different from normal acting. Still, it was an interesting job.

 

In most cases, the most important person in the studio is the director. He decides most of the things. I heard the producer is more important, but I don’t feel that.

 

One day, a super more important person came to the shooting studio. He was from the sponsor company of the program, but he looked like a new employee. His looks did not match his suit as he was too young. Everyone in the studio really paid him attention. The difficult director, the experienced actors who looked dignified, and the blunt crew members were all flattering him. I didn’t understand why everyone treated him like that. He was older than me by just a few years. He looked uncomfortable maybe because the director could be as old as his father.

 

I tried to not laugh because it was almost a classic comedy. But the situation was not laughable. I just didn’t know how this society works.

 

There are only a few creators who do not care about money when creating products. Most creators need to be loved by royalty, nobility, patrons, or the public.

 

The company of the important person even paid my performance fee.

 

In Greek mythology, the goddesses of arts are collectively called Musa. They are nine sisters. Each goddess is in charge of each category of arts. On the other hand, the god of business is Hermes. I am not familiar with Greek mythology, but I believe their relationships are not simple.

 

Many of my friends are loved by Musa, but most of them are not loved by Hermes.
