We adapted the cult French series &#x27;10%&#x27; otherwise known as &#x27;Call My Agent.&#x27; This project is as much a tribute to show business as it is an irreverent and candid look at what we hate and love about our industry. Except for the main characters in the show that are fictional, every celebrity guest comes in as themselves. Buti game sila,&quot; Erik wrote.<div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/11/6/first-2-episodes-of-erik-matti-s-call-my-manager-to-screen-at-qcinema-1428">READ: First 2 episodes of Erik Matti’s ‘Call My Manager’ to screen at QCinema</a></div>He added that the series showcases both the charm and chaos of the entertainment world.&quot;Sa pagmamahal namin sa entertainment business, nilagay namin lahat ng nakakatuwa sa ating industriya. Pwedeng tawaging inside look kung audience ka. Pero matutuwa din ang mga insiders kasi makikita nila sarili nila sa mga characters.
