Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



This was Eugene's perspective as a top-tier agent.

Taking on a film role had clear benefits but also significant drawbacks.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Previously, Violeta had been the shining star, with seasoned actors supporting her.

However, stepping into a new realm meant she would now be the one supporting the seasoned actors.

Movies and TV dramas were entirely different worlds.

In films, actors weren't expected to have flawless, delicate features; instead, their faces should tell a story and suit the big screen.

A successful film typically features a lead actress with a classic, dignified look, often referred to as a prima donna's face.

If the film had received mediocre reviews, Violeta would have wasted a lot of time.

On the other hand, the TV drama already showed signs of being a hit. If Violeta chose the movie, Tracy might rise to fame through a blockbuster drama.

It was a matter of choice.

Eugene said, "This is my perspective. Ultimately, the decision depends on which path you lean towards."

After all, TV dramas were Violeta's comfort zone.

She was still young and didn't need to be overly aggressive.

An actor needs time to mature.

Violeta had debuted in her junior year of university and had already maintained a streak of hit dramas for four years, which was impressive. Once her new drama aired, she would reach new heights.

At 25, she had another two years to go. She had plenty of time to venture into the movie industry later.

Violeta took a sip of water and said, "I'll think about it."

"Alright," Eugene replied.

Violeta pondered.

Meanwhile, Tracy was growing impatient.

"I don't want the movie. I want the drama.""

Winnie pondered for a moment, her thoughts aligning with Eugene's.

"Tracy, 'The Island' is a movie. Look at the bigger picture; it's ... Tracy interrupted her.

"Bigger picture? By the time I finish this movie, I might never catch up to Violeta.

"Even though this movie has a female lead, the role isn't prominent. After reading the entire script, it's clea the female lead is more of a background character."

True enough.

Throughout history, who isn't just a background character, aside from a few great individuals?

Tracy continued, "I just want to

shoot a blockbuster drama. I don't want to keep taking on these kinds of rotes. Winnie, please help me!"

After 'The Rose' aired, the response was lukewarm.

While it exceeded the expectations of a prestige drama, it paled in comparison to Violeta's drama.

Last year, every drama was overshadowed by 'Nirvana and Rebirth'.

Tracy often wondered why she hadn't been the one to star in such a wildly popular show.

Maybe prestige dramas just weren't her thing.

She envied the top-tier status.

with serious dramas.

She couldn't resist the allure of fame and success before her eyes.

Winnie sighed and asked, "Tracy, do you know how many people want to break into the film industry?"

Tracy replied, "That doesn't include me. Even if I do, it won't be through playing such roles."

Tracy interrupted Winnie as she wanted to say more.

"That's enough, Winnie. You don't need to say more. I know exactly what I want."

"Okay, I'll do my best to negotiate with the company," Winnie conceded.

Thinking about it, either script was good.

Since Tracy had made her decision, Winnie had no more to say.

Violeta thought for a while longer.

Finally, she recalled that the film featured an actress who was significant to her.

"Eugene, isn't there a role in the film for Polly?"

Eugene replied, "Yes, how did you know?"

"Polly has already decided to play the role of the female professor."

Polly was a few years older than Violeta and had long been established in the film industry.
