When you have talent, do you still need to fit in to find work?

l

Social values in the entertainment industry.

When I was just starting to make a living from my talent, I thought that my talent alone would be enough to find work. That just being a good artist would ensure that I would be re-hired or have my contract extended. Well, I was wrong! At the time I didn’t understand how important social values are. But it’s the same in this business as everywhere else. The kinder you are and the more positive you are, the more points you score with the people who hire you. But even more importantly, your positive energy is contagious; it can lift the spirits of the entire team and can improve group cohesion. It’s a valuable source of energy that producers appreciate. During a show, don’t forget that you have a single mission: entertain your audience!

Cronyism in the entertainment industry.

I have to say that I hate “cronyism”. I can’t stand trying to make the producer laugh just so they’ll like me. I also have to admit that I’m not very good at it. But after seeing people do it time and again, I have to admit that it does work sometimes. It’s human nature, that’s how it goes, and good for those with that kind of talent. Having a address book full of producers and artistic agents can turn out to be an invaluable asset. It allows one to forge valuable connections and expand one’s professional network, thereby increasing the chances of securing contracts.

Difficults Artists.

Producers are busy trying to manage finances, marketing, security, scenography, laws, pay, finding talent, etc. If you’re a difficult artist or you often make visible mistakes on stage, or even if you’re hard to deal with off-stage, you’ll not only have a hard time fitting in, but you won’t have your contract extended or be re-hired.

Producers are constantly analyzing potential problems in their business. As a result, they have developed a special ability: “their brains are programmed to eliminate problems!”

Conclusion

Concluding on the subject of integrating into the world of entertainment, particularly as a circus artist or magician, entails recognizing the delicate balance between intrinsic talent and the interpersonal skills necessary for success in this competitive industry. While talent is undeniably crucial for captivating and thrilling audiences, this article highlights the equally significant importance of social values, kindness, and a positive attitude in the professional integration process. The practice of “cronyism”, though not liked by all, is often used, showing how crucial personal connections are for getting and keeping jobs. Moreover, the ability to work as part of a team, contribute to a pleasant working atmosphere, and avoid problematic behaviors are key factors for a lasting career in entertainment. In summary, achieving success in the entertainment world demands not only talent but also a keen understanding and adherence to the social and professional dynamics of the industry. These combined elements shape the complete artist, capable not only of enchanting their audience with their art but also of successfully navigating the challenges of the professional entertainment milieu.
