Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 457 The Dilemma





The masses were easily swayed. Once a negative trend starts, they go wild with criticism against Violeta.

As consumers, they certainly have that right.

Even though Wade was the screenwriter of this drama, he can't turn the tide.

Indeed.

Zelena had already decided to abandon this drama.

After all, she couldn't derive any positive benefits from it. She might even receive the label of a hopeless romantic.

Therefore, she decided to drag Violeta down with her.

The trending searches were orchestrated by Zelena.

The series will suffer before it even airs if Violeta fails.

Zelena watched silently as Violeta became the target of public criticism.

Violeta hung up the phone and returned it to Aster.

Aster looked worried, and she called out, "Ms. White ..."

Violeta gave her a reassuring look, then walked toward the director.

The director had just hung up the phone. His expression showed he had already learned about the situation.

Seeing Violeta approaching, the director frowned. He immediately asked, "Violeta, do you know about this?" Violeta first apologised, "I'm so sorry, but I'll do my best to handle the situation."

The director was obviously frustrated, facing one problem after another.

Given Violeta's sincere attitude, he suppressed his emotions and asked, "How do you plan to handle it?"

Violeta looked down and calmly said, "I promise it won't affect the drama."

Won't affect the drama?

That's straightforward to say, but executing it is another story.

The director didn't say much more to Violeta.

After all, she was just an actress. If things really went south, it would be up to the production team and her agency to negotiate.

This situation highlighted the advantage of having a powerful agency behind her.

If Violeta's reputation really took a hit, it wouldn't be something she could handle alone.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

The director sighed, feeling the throbbing in his temples.

Everyone seemed to be causing him headaches.

Violeta's issue was even harder to solve than Zelena's, delaying the filming progress.

Maybe they performed the ceremony incorrectly before the shoot?

Soon, Wade and the producers arrived on set.

If the shoot hadn't started, the best solution would be to write Violeta out of the script.

Since filming had already begun, things became much more complicated.

Inte users weren't just criticizing Violeta; they had taken the complaint to the official account of 'Spring in Moon City' and demanded a change of the lead actress.

Amid the tense atmosphere, Nolan,

et

who had been quietly sitting on the side, spoke up. "We should work together to minimise the impact of the incident on the drama. Violeta is the female lead, but she's also part of our team."

He appeared to be the only one standing beside Violeta.

Wade, knowing that Violeta was caught in the crossfire. He sighed and said, "Nolan is right. There's no point in assigning blame now. Let's focus on getting through this crisis together."

No matter what, Violeta gave them a grateful look.

She said again, "Don't worry, this won't affect the drama."

Given the public outcry, many believed Violeta's assurance was mere rhetoric.

Violeta stood up from her seat.

She said, "Let's continue filming."

Her words left everyone stunned.

Was she serious about continuing to shoot at this time?

But on the other hand, even if they didn't shoot, there wasn't much they could do.

The authorities were already investigating. Violeta was officially announced as the lead actress, which couldn't be changed.

There was a lot of criticism online, but Violeta also had a large fan base.

The public opinion was divided.

Some said, "As the owner of Sunset Cafe, Violeta should take responsibility for her company's actions!"

Others argued, "Although Violeta is

the owner, this incident was the

personal action of an individual employee. How is it her fault? It's just an attempt to tarnish her reputation!"

In essence, no matter what the production team decided, they would face criticism.

They would still face criticism if they kept Violeta as the main character.
