Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 390 I Want to Work With Wade



Until the presenter slowly announced Nolan's name.

Instantly, the entire venue erupted into applause.

Some people even screamed in excitement.

At that moment, all eyes, cameras, and spotlights focused on Nolan, sitting in the front row.

Nolan stood up amidst the applause. First, he hugged Austin beside him.

Then he gracefully buttoned his suit, turned around, bowed slightly to everyone, and walked toward the stage.

'Froze' was the biggest winner this year.

At the film festival, the film received a whopping nine nominations.

This year marked Nolan's third year in the industry. In his debut year, he made a splash with his first film, 'Night on the River', where he won the Skyward Award for Best New Actor, drawing significant attention.

In his second year, he was fortunate to catch Austin's eye and land the lead role in 'Froze'. His outstanding performance earned him the Hundred Blossom Award for Best Actor this year.

This was his first film, and he had already achieved such remarkable success. The Chesian film industry now recognises him as a brilliant young star, having won the Best Actor Award.

Violeta watched Nolan on stage, holding his trophy.

She clapped lightly for him, genuinely pleased with his success.

At the same time, her eyes welled up slightly with emotion.

Actually, she didn't have to be here tonight, but she came anyway.

First, she hadn't made any public appearances for over half a year due to filming.

Secondly, Violeta was here to fulfil a dream from her past life.

In her previous life, she had been a fan of Nolan.

She had watched this scene on TV. She was insignificant back then, but she fantasised about how wonderful it would be to witness it in person. Violeta had always known Nolan would win the Best Actor Award; it was a certainty in her mind.

Regardless, she had attended the event and wanted to witness the dazzling Nolan on stage with her own eyes, fulfilling a dream as a fan in her heart. Now, she had her wish fulfilled.

It was enough. She was complete.

Violeta quietly got up and left the venue.

On stage, Nolan was giving his speech.

He thanked everyone the entire film crew and all the staff who had worked tirelessly behind the scenes. He expressed his deepest gratitude to Austin.

The presenter playfully asked him about his plans after achieving such success with his second film. Did he aim for even bigger awards?

Nolan pondered and said, "If I have

the opportunity, of course, I would love to achieve more. I have

l.n

someone I really want to collaborate with hope it can happen in the

future."

The presenter was intrigued. He wanted to know who this person was.

Nolan's eyes briefly swept over the audience.

Though it seemed casual, the camera quickly captured it, panning to the seats of the new-generation actresses.

However, Nolan didn't see the person he was looking for. It caused him a moment of hesitation on stage.

Quickly recovering, he shifted his gaze and said, "It's Wade Howell. As you all know, although my debut film was an action movie with Wade's influence, it wasn't his script. I grew up reading his works. I'm a fan and hope to work with him someday."

He delivered this statement smoothly.

The presenter was satisfied. He turned to the camera and addressed Wade, "Did you hear that, Mr. Howell? We're all eagerly waiting for your next work."

After a moment, Nolan descended the stage with his trophy.

Nolan's award speech quickly topped the trending topics on Facebook.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

After his speech, the camera briefly panned to the seats of the new-generation actresses.

The camera happened to capture Zelena's face perfectly.

Was Nolan looking at Zelena?

No one knew for sure.

However, the camera coincidentally landed on Zelena, who was covering her mouth in surprise, looking as if she had just won the lottery.

Although it was just a moment, the inte exploded with speculation.

'Don't jump to conclusions. Nolan mentioned later that the person he wants to collaborate with is Mr. Howell, not Zelena.'

'Think about it logically. Even if

Nolan wants to work with Zelena, he

wouldn't say it directly on stage. Mentioning Mr. Howell might just be a way to deflect the question'
