Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 278 The Female Lead Role

Wade was a man who cherished talent. Apart from Violeta, he was also interested in hearing about other promising newcomers.

"Who else?" Wade asked.

"Violeta."

The room fell silent.

Wade was visibly frozen.

He asked, "Are you also coming to see me for Violeta's sake?"

Hayden stopped mid-sip of his tea. He probed, "Also?"

Wade said, "Sigh! Niall asked me to film this drama. Violeta already had the lead female role reserved for her. Despite not having signed the contract yet, Violeta has already assumed the lead role. You're here now, not only for the lead role, but also for Violeta. Quite a coincidence, isn't it?"

"So, Niall is the one who arranged for this drama?"

Hayden's thoughts aligned with Niall's.

"So, Violeta is the lead character in this show?"

Wade confirmed, "Yes, the lead is Violeta."

Hayden lowered his eyes and smiled gently. He said, "In that case, I'm glad I came. You should film at Veilmist Lake."

Wade brightened up and asked, "No charge, right?"

"Correct."

Hayden gave a clear answer.

Wade beamed. He was overjoyed.

He could reallocate the savings on location fees to makeup and costumes. As such, it would enhance the overall production quality.

Wade was known for his meticulous nature, in which he always sought the best results within the budget.

...

Wade's preparations for the web series quickly became the talk of the town.

The Quiet Ode' was the title of the series. It was a spin-off from his long novel, 'The Frozen Dawn'.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entertainment industry.

It had been three years since Wade last led a production.

Rumors had circulated that Wade might start his other long novel, 'Spring in Moon City'.

Instead, they unexpectedly announced 'The Quiet Ode'.

Prior to this, the hot topics were 'The Legend of the Blind Detective' and 'The Moon Belongs to You'. Wade's new project had already overshadowed these dramas before they had even begun filming.

A web series!

Wade was actually going to make a web series!

Even the veteran wanted to try out the new direction.

The media quickly caught wind of this.

Reporters seeking information bombarded Wade's assistant's phone that night.

The assistant had to turn off the phone to avoid disclosing any details.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Despite the media blackout, Wade's influence was undeniable. Financial magnates began to take notice. In just three days, stocks of the prominent web series companies soared.

The series hadn't even started filming, yet it was already causing such a stir.

Only Wade could pull this off.

Despite the buzz, the cast remained

unconfirmed. Entertainment

companies were eager to submit

their artists' profiles, but there was no word from Wade.

...

The weekend arrived.

Accompanied by Niall, Violeta went to the hospital for a follow-up on her ankle.

The doctor said it was healing well, and she could start putting weight on it as long as it didn't hurt.

If it felt strenuous, she should still use crutches.

On the way home, Niall finally shared the good news with Violeta.

He stated, "Vio, Wade is going to direct a new series. Did you know?"

Violeta was browsing her phone. She froze and looked at Niall in shock. She asked, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

Violeta quickly searched for related news on Facebook but found nothing.

Based on her past experiences, she didn't recall Wade working on a new series. Could it be false information?

If she had known Wade was filming something new, she would have approached him instead of looking at Blind Detective.

After calming down, Violeta spoke.

She asked, "Bro, where did you hear that? It can't be true. Wade only has plans for Triple Blood and Spring in

there to

Moon City. What else

film?"

Triple Blood was supposed to be Wade's final masterpiece.

In Moon City, spring was still in its early stages of production. A movie or series adaptation was at least a year away.

Niall replied, "It's true. It's the Frozen Dawn."

"The Frozen Dawn?"

Violeta was familiar with all of Wade's works, including The Frozen Dawn.

It was Wade's earlier work and had already been adapted into both films and TV series.

Are they remaking The Frozen Dawn?

It hadn't been that long since the movie came out. Why would they remake it?

Niall continued, "It's a spin-off. You know Layla Young, right? They are creating a web series about her, named The Quiet Ode.

Violeta stared at Niall in stunned silence and smiled brightly. She asked, "Really!?"

"Yup."

How could this be?

Why would Wade want to make a web series? In his entire screenwriting career, he had never written one.

These questions flashed through Violeta's mind, but she dismissed them quickly. "I want to act in it!"
