Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 361 Violeta's Rising Success



Far away on a film set in another province, Zelena watched the trending topics on Facebook and thought that Hattie had dropped the ball this time. Hattie had also attended the Clio Charity Night, yet her presence caused barely a ripple.

While her name did appear in the trending searches, it was quickly overshadowed by the uproar over Violeta.

It was evident that Hattie couldn't compete with Violeta.

Hattie might have had a fighting chance before Violeta's return to the White family. But now?

The odds were slim.

Meanwhile, on another set, Tracy was seething with envy upon hearing that Violeta had won the endorsement of a top luxury brand.

"This is so unfair! The company gave Violeta such a huge deal, and I got nothing!" she fumed.

Winnie responded, "Hold on, that might not be the company's doing it for Violeta."

Tracy looked puzzled. "What do you mean, Winnie?"

Winnie explained, "I think the brand approached Violeta directly. The company wouldn't dare pitch a top luxury brand to a newcomer."

It was obvious that the powerful family behind Violeta was pulling strings.

After all, she was indeed a daughter of a wealthy family.

She could navigate the high society world with ease, so why wouldn't she excel in the entertainment industry?

Winnie felt a pang of regret for not securing the role of Violeta's agent.

However, she suddenly recalled that the higher-ups had already assigned Eugene to Violeta, leaving no opportunity for her.

Nevertheless, Tracy still had a hopeful career ahead.

Patting her shoulder, Winnie said, "Tracy, don't think too much about it. Sure, Violeta's top luxury endorsement looks impressive now, but that could be a double-edged sword."

"She's riding high on the success of 'A Quiet Ode' for now. But once the hype dies down and if Violeta doesn't produce another hit, even the best endorsements won't stick around."

Securing a top luxury brand wasn't the real achievement.

Yet, maintaining a long-term partnership was the real skill.

Even though Violeta had a powerful family backing, brands weren't fools. If public opinion overwhelmingly condemns Violeta as unworthy, even a luxury brand will struggle to withstand the backlash. Content

Luxury brands are not the White family's playground; they must consider the commercial value of their endorsements.

Signing an artist who attracts controversy puts immense pressure on the brand.

"Winnie, do you think Violeta can't hold onto this endorsement?" Tracy inquired.

Winnie smiled smugly. "Tracy, resources in this industry are limited, even for top-tier artists. Do you think Violeta can become a superstar in just one year?"

The industry is full of fleeting stars.

Simply being seen on screen is an achievement, but such good fortune doesn't come often.

The success of 'A Quiet Ode' was largely due to Wade Howell's influence.

Firstly, it's a spin-off of Wade Howell's classic works from previous years.

Secondly, it was his first venture into a web series, which drew significant attention.

Thirdly, the cast, aside from the newcomer Violeta, consisted of seasoned actors.

The show's success was almost guaranteed with such a lineup.

Encountering such an opportunity once is a stroke of incredible luck; twice is nearly impossible unless Violeta is destined for extraordinary fortune. Winnie bet that Violeta wouldn't land another hit show within a year.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Tracy felt a bit more at ease after hearing Winnie's analysis.

"Alright, Winnie, I'll listen to you. I'll focus on finishing this drama first."

"Exactly, Tracy. We need to advance steadily. Cutting corners might be fast, but it also comes with high risks."

A week after the promotional video

was edited and released, it caused a

reputation as the year's most controversial newcomer.

Her schedule included more offline business engagements, but many more were reduced or cancelled.
