Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 386 Christmas Eve

"Alright then."

Tracy had once believed that the only difference between her and Violeta was one successful drama series.

Now, she realised the gap was much wider.

No matter which company she was in, someone like Violeta would only make the boss happy, not her fellow artists.

A thriving seedling symbolised the dedication of the one who nurtured it.

It would inevitably absorb the nutrients from the seedlings around it.

Being in the same company as Violeta was a misfortune for Tracy.

On the other side, Zelena was slightly tipsy after she attended a dinner party.

She got into her car and leaned back in her seat, pulling out her phone.

First, she checked out the trendy search. She immediately frowned when she saw Violeta's name on the hashtag.

That b*tch!

Despite her absence, she continued to appear in the popular search results. So annoying!

However, Zelena's mood lifted when she saw a post on the front page criticising Tracy's acting skills.

The script for Blind Detective was excellent, and Tracy's fame was starting to overshadow her.

Previously, Zelena had snatched an endorsement from Tracy. Then Tracy retaliated by taking one of Zelena's advertisements.

Their career paths were similar, and they had started around the same time. It led to inevitable friction.

Zelena was determined not to let Tracy get ahead of her. She put her phone down and closed her eyes. Zelena asked her agent, "Trina, have the movie reviews been arranged? Make sure they focus on Tracy's poor acting." "Don't worry," Trina reassured her. "I've hired five professional writers to write the reviews, as well as a few short video bloggers to create content. The buzz should pick up."

Zelena smirked and said, "If we can knock Violeta off the trendy search, even better."

Using negative reviews of Tracy to push Violeta off the trends was a two-for-one deal, delightful in every sense.

Just thinking about it lifted Zelena's spirits.

Three months later, winter had arrived.

The filming schedule prioritised what could be shot first; therefore, the school scenes were scheduled to be filmed during the winter break.

There was a scene where Violeta was thrown around the playground and collapsed on the ground with wounds all over her body. She looked incredibly fragile on screen.

To keep up with the schedule, the crew worked through Christmas. Therefore, Violeta couldn't go home to celebrate with her family.

Even though Violeta couldn't return, her family could visit her in Glorialand.

Her parents missed her dearly. They decided to spend Christmas Eve with Violeta in Glorialand.

Violeta wasn't the only one who couldn't go home for a holiday to stay on schedule. The entire crew agreed on her fate.

When Anton and Irene arrived, they

felt it would be awkward to invite only Violeta to dinner. Instead, they booked the entire restaurant and

invited the whole crew for a meal.

That night, Violeta posted a few photos of the dinner on social media and wished everyone a joyful Christmas Eve.

In no time the comments section

was filled with fans' blessings and

messages of longing. Everyone

eagerly awaited Violeta's return after wrapping up the shoot.

Anton and Irene stayed in Glorialand for three days. They returned to their country before heavy snow grounded flights at Quinton Airport.

After seeing her parents off, Violeta continued filming.

After the holidays, the crew switched the shooting location between Kligan and Gario.

After a month, they finished the Glorialand scenes, leaving only. twenty percent of the shoot to

complete back home. Some

actors wrapped up their roles.

Before returning, the main cast shot promotional posters for the series.

A Facebook page for the drama had been created.

Moreover, they posted the posters.

The theme was dark and sombre.

Despite submitting a toned-down version for review, the mature content of the series prevented extensive promotion.

In her previous life, Violeta remembered that the lead actress of this series had been blacklisted.

While some of that was due to her personal relationships, the series' content also played a role.

Violeta had to manage everything carefully to avoid repeating past mistakes and guard against malicious reports.

Therefore, the page was created much later. The information was kept tightly under wraps.

Only the poster has been released since its creation, with no other information supplied. Outside of production, little was known about the drama.

Fans and industry insiders became extremely curious about the project.

Now that the account had posted the poster, people could only speculate on that.

This was Violeta's second series, and the audience's anticipation was steadily rising.
