Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 362 Nirvana and Rebirth



A few endorsement deals started rolling in after Violeta signed a contract with SEVITL.

However, Eugene wasn't about to let Violeta accept just any offer.

Back then, Violeta might have taken on anything as long as the money was good. But now, with SEVITL on board, her profile had risen.

Accepting lower-tier gigs could tarnish SEVITL's image along with her own.

The brands would also be dissatisfied.

It was a trade-off: the higher she climbed, the more selective she had to be.

They had some free time on their hands, so Eugene arranged for Violeta to undergo specialised training which focused on posture and expression management.

"We've swooped in and taken a lot of opportunities from others," Eugene said, "so it's best to lay low for a while."

Violeta nodded in agreement, "Fine."

Eugene's tone turned stern, "Beauty, for the next year, we also need to solidify your position. No mistakes that could harm your commercial value. We need at least one hit drama to secure our endorsements."

Aster agreed, "Sure. Since Ms. White signed SEVITL's spokesperson contract, everyone is envious. Even though it's just for a year, they're all hoping for a failure."

Eugene continued, "I'll push for a top-tier scriptwriter. Emilie Robinson has some promising material. She's a top-tier writer who wrote the wildly successful 'Winter Kingdom Trilogy'. I've heard she's about to start a new project ...

"No need, Mr. Scott," Violeta interrupted.

Eugene looked surprised. "What's wrong?"

Violeta lowered her head before declaring firmly, "I want to star in Danielle's drama."

Eugene was speechless.

Eugene frowned. "Do you mean 'Nirvana and Rebirth'?"

Aster chimed in, "Ms. White, have you thought this through? Danielle is just an intern scriptwriter. I heard she struggled to find work after graduating and spent years mooching off her family before finally landing an internship. Choosing her is a huge risk!"

"If she were capable, she wouldn't have been living off her family," Aster added disdainfully.

She looked down at Danielle, who lived off her parents.

Mooched off one's parents was indeed a disgraceful act that anyone with a sense of integrity would look down upon.

However, Danielle's situation wasn't as simple as it seemed.

While some might call it "mooching off her family," a kinder way to put it was that she was taking time to recover. Danielle suffered from severe depression, a condition rooted in her naturally sensitive and emotional disposition. Danielle's personality made her a pushover in school.

Her struggles began during school, where her soft and vulnerable nature made her an easy target for verbal bullying. Fortunately, her family was deeply supportive, which kept the bullying at bay.

Still, Danielle developed a serious case of depression.

After graduation, the stress only worsened her condition, forcing her to stay home and recuperate.

The play 'Nirvana and Rebirth' was born during those years of recovery as a form of self-redemption for Danielle.

Everything she couldn't confront in reality, she poured into her writing.

This wasn't merely a script from an intern; it was the product of years of her life and emotional turmoil.

Despite her "intern" label, the script was a masterpiece honed over several years.

Danielle's talent shone through, especially in her profound depiction of human nature.

The play had already become a sensation abroad, though it remained undiscovered for years due to her status as a mere intern.

Violeta was resolute about taking on 'Nirvana and Rebirth'.

Eugene was puzzled. "Beauty, why are you so confident in this play?"

Violeta replied, "Because it might be the first dark revenge drama in film history. It will undoubtedly be rated 'R'."

Aster's eyes widened. "R-rated? Doesn't that mean it can't be shown domestically?"

Violeta nodded. "It might be a problem, but there's always a way to work around it."

It just means we'll need to double the budget.

Violeta had long been prepared to tackle this challenge.
