Johnny Manahan talked about “star-making”
How a star is born? Here’s what veteran talent management head Johnny Manahan shared about spotting the next big star.
Popularly known as Mr. M in show business, he has become instrumental in the lives of many artists, especially that he has been mentoring them under ABS-CBN’s talent management firm Star Magic.
In a recent interview with PEP, Mr. M shared details on how they are finding talents who could make it big in the entertainment industry.
He said that he would open his office to talent scouts and agents who will bring showbiz aspirants. “All these people can come in and bring their talents. I look at them and tell them what I think. ‘Ito, okay ito. Iyong isa, huwag ka na bumalik dito kasama iyon.'” Johnny Manahan shared.
Aside from the physical feature of a showbiz aspirant, Mr. M also mentioned the “IT” factor and at times it will depend on his gut feel and other star-builders.
“When I saw Jane, I said she’s special. And then when they were looking around who would play the Darna part, I told the handler, ‘Isama mo iyan sa audition, ha,’” he shared about Jane de Leon.
As a person who already spent several years of his life in showbiz, Mr. M said that at times, a star’s destiny in the industry can be attributed to “fifty percent luck”.
With this, having patience is a must. “Artists wait all the time, you wait for an audition, you wait while you’re doing the audition, you wait while you’re not doing the audition. You wait for your tape. It’s waiting—until bumagsak iyong ginto,” Johnny Manahan said.
When it comes to love teams, Mr. M said that they just based on feelings if who can make it big with who.
