Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism
Chapter 407 Stepping Stone

I'm really looking forward to this show, but I hope it gets more promotion,' someone commented.

The release of the rare group photo revealed several details:

1. 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was approaching the final stages of post-production.

2. Except for Violeta, all the main cast members were from Glorialand.

3. Violeta, with her exceptional beauty, stood out even among the many gorgeous actresses from Glorialand, showing she looked remarkable even in candid photos. The excitement for 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was palpable among fans.

With Violeta having won the Best Supporting Actress Award with her debut film, expectations for her second show were sky-high, adding significant pressure on her shoulders. The attention on 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was intense, and any misstep could invite more scorn than genuine concern.

Meanwhile, Zelena was closely tracking updates on 'Nirvana and Rebirth'.

Her reports were nearly ready for submission.

Time passed swiftly, and after more than two weeks, Tracy officially joined the cast of 'The Rose'.

Her introductory video and promotional photos quickly climbed the trending charts.

Zelena, appearing as one of the female guests on a popular variety show, saw a notable boost in her visibility.

The first episode received great feedback, and the show was set to air weekly on Sundays.

Zelena gained considerable fame through this show.

Previously, she was mainly known as 'Nolan's rumoured girlfriend'. After the show aired, viewers started to appreciate her on-screen presence, changing their perception of her. Zelena became a pioneer among the new generation, gaining fame through variety shows.

In contrast, Hattie concentrated on the fashion industry.

To win favour with brands, she attended numerous in-person events.

As a result, candid photos from these events occasionally appeared online, with fans praising her divine beauty and noting that she looked even more stunning in real life. However, some netizens viewed these comments with doubt.

Another fortnight passed.

The post-production of 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was finally wrapped up.

Both versions of the show were submitted for review.

The international version was approved quickly, but the domestic version faced a longer review process.

Coincidentally, Lydia's period drama

'As Soon As We Meet', which she had started filming last year, was released around the same time as 'Nirvana and Rebirth'.

While Violeta was shooting in Glorialand, Lydia also began her role in 'As Soon As We Meet'.

The drama featured Chad as the second male lead, playing a heroic spy who sacrificed himself for his country.

This was Chad's debut role after joining the agency.

Although he was only a supporting character, the company was keen to promote him heavily.

Among the rising male actors,

Jacques, notable for his debut in et

'The Moon Belongs to You', was a standout alongside Nolan, who won Best Actor.

The agency had signed only four artists in total, with Brandon being the sole musician and the remaining three being actors. Violeta and Tracy had already achieved notable success, becoming hot new stars.

Chad, however, had yet to make a significant impact.

To boost Chad's profile, the company arranged for him to star opposite Lydia, a former artist who had left the company. Apex saw Lydia as a stepping stone.

As a result, the marketing for 'As

Soon As We Meet' heavily

emphasised Chad as the second

lead, overshadowing the main

characters, which naturally annoyed

Lydia.

However, Lydia's personal team was much smaller compared to a major agency like Apex Entertainment. Although she was unhappy, she couldn't retaliate openly.

Instead, she subtly orchestrated online discussions to stir up controversy regarding the rankings.

The debate about Chad's role as the second lead in 'As Soon As We Meet' quickly gained traction on Facebook.

Despite a lack of promotional spending, the show garnered significant attention, with fans debating passionately. By mid-month, Violeta was preparing to fly to Pherances to film a promotional video.
