Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 393 Fierce Competition



Artists and their management companies were inseparable, with all schedules and announcements originating from the company. Another two weeks passed.

The biennial Skyward Awards for television dramas have finally arrived.

This was the day Violeta had been eagerly anticipating.

Eugene returned to the company, handed her the Skyward Award invitation from the TV station, and shared the exciting news of her work's nomination.

The TV station usually provides hints to ensure that guests attend the award ceremony.

The organiser would encourage them to look forward to the event and take it seriously.

Among the works nominated alongside 'The Quiet Ode' were Hattie's 'The Moon Belongs To You', Zelena's 'Spring Isn't Blooming', and Tracy's 'The Legend of Blind Detective'.

The four dramas had different airing schedules but had all completed their broadcasts by now.

For an artist, their debut work is crucial in determining whether they can win the New Actor Award.

Only those who win the New Actor Award among their peers can truly elevate their status.

Various nominees received invitations to the award ceremony at the same time.

After attending the film festival, Violeta kept a low profile and waited for the Skyward Award to arrive. Now, her wait was over. Eugene said, "Beauty, it's our show."

Violeta said with a smile, "It has finally arrived."

Meanwhile, the other three nominees received their invitations.

Tracy asked, "A nomination? Are they just asking me to act as a placeholder?"

Hattie commented, "Winning the New Actor Award is the first step to surpassing Violeta."

Zelena remarked, "New Actor Award? That's a wonderful start."

The new generation's four actresses played a role in those dramas last year.

According to the data, Violeta's work was renowned for its quality and popularity, but because it was a web series, its chances of winning were uncertain.

After 'The Quiet Ode', the unexpected dark horse that emerged at the end of the year was 'The Legend of Blind Detective'.

Although it had an excellent script, the lead actress Tracy's acting skills were criticised online, making her hold on the New Actor Award somewhat precarious.

'The Moon Belongs To You' was the only modern idol drama. Zelena's work was a historical romance.

Of these, 'The Quiet Ode' was the only single-lead drama, while the others featured male leads.

The competition was fierce, with seven actors from the four dramas.

Not to mention, there were also performances by veteran actors.

Even though they were less popular, over a dozen TV dramas aired last year.

Violeta and her peers focused on the New Actor Award.

Meanwhile, the veterans aimed for the best actor and actress awards.

With different goals, Violeta's biggest competitors for the New Actor Award were still her peers from the four dramas.

Each year, new talents enter the industry.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

However, few make it into the public eye.

The fact that Violeta and her three

peers had secured a place in the

public eye within a year of d

was already a significant achievement.

How often does a newcomer become a sensation in the entertainment industry?

In the waiting room, Eugene twisted

his ring. He said, "This time, we need to dress up well for the award ceremony. Last time at the film festival, we didn't have jewellery, this time, we must."

After the film festival, Lydia wrapped up her filming.

Two years ago, she starred in a serious drama called 'The Wall' while still with Apex Entertainment.

It was a role Eugene had worked hard to secure for her.

After filming, Lydia faced a lot of online controversy.

Overall, the drama received good reviews and had the potential to win awards.

Two years later, Lydia was relying on that drama to vie for the Best Actress Award. Thinking about this, Eugene felt a bit sentimental.

So much has happened in two years.

If only things went well for Lydia ...

Despite their history, Eugene still wished Lydia the best in his heart.

Eugene said, "At the award

ceremony, new Best Actor and Best

Actress winners will emerge. In my heart, Beauty, you're already standing on the podium with a trophy in your hands."

Violeta smiled and said, "Ow! Thank you, Eugene."

Eugene added, "I'll make sure to borrow you the jewellery to dazzle the crowd."
