Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 325 Auditions

So Violeta persuaded Kaylee to choose this film.

Whether she could land the lead role was uncertain, but even if she just got any role with lines, it would be great!

The question was whether Kaylee would listen to her advice.

Kaylee thought about it and agreed that Violeta's point made sense.

"You're right. I'll give it some serious thought."

"Hey, Violeta, are you going on Saturday?"

Violeta casually replied, "I'm not going. The Quiet Ode is about to start its promotion, and I'll be signing a contract over the weekend."

Kaylee's eyes lit up. "Whoa! Are you signing with a company?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Actually, after finishing 'The Quiet Ode', Violeta had already been approached by several agencies interested in signing her.

But she turned them all down.

None of them were to her liking.

What's more absurd was one of the agencies, Radiant Star, was the same one that signed Hattie.

Violeta would be crazy to sign with the same agency as her.

Plus, after all her time in the industry, Violeta knew exactly where these companies had their flaws. Capital had no conscience.

A good agency could really boost your future.

Violeta was quite interested in the Weekleys' Apex Entertainment.

She had even considered starting her own agency, but it seemed too complicated.

While it might help her avoid some issues, it was not that easy.

You needed connections for resources, and those who manage them were usually stuck with big companies. Being your own boss was cool, but it could waste a lot of energy.

Violeta was just starting out, so it was smarter to let the pros handle the professional stuff for better results.

"So which company are you going with?"

"Apex Entertainment."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"That name sounds so familiar." Kaylee thought for a moment, and then searched on her phone and exclaimed, "Isn't that Jasper's company?" Yep, Apex Entertainment was indeed Weekleys' business.

The Weekleys had a good relationship with the Whites, so Violeta would be in good hands after signing a contract with them.

The weekend quickly arrived.

The café had just gotten a new batch of stylish tables and chairs, but the delivery driver called Violeta, saying he couldn't find the location.

So Violeta had to go to the café early in the morning.

While she was in the restroom, a pipe on the second floor suddenly burst, and water shot out everywhere, soaking her.

Luckily, Kaylee had a spare coat at the café, so Violeta had to change into that.

Fiona smiled and said, "Good thing you two are about the same size. You look great in it!"

Violeta checked the time and said, "I'm running out of time, Ms. Fiona. I'm heading out now. When Kay gets back, please let her know I took her coat."

Meanwhile, all the third and fourth-year students from the performing arts went to the auditorium for auditions.

Kaylee also went, taking Violeta's

advice and auditioning for a

supporting role in The Lies in Winter, not the lead, but one of the female supporting roles.

Kaylee thought she was a good fit for the role.

As it turned out, Violeta was spot on.

There were way fewer people signing up for the The Lies in Winter auditions.

In the auditorium, the casting director was sitting in the seats, and only Mason, the filming director, was there.

Everyone lined up, handing over their resumes one by one.

It was like an interview. The first round only required you to look somewhat like the character. As long as you didn't look too out of place, you'd accepted, because they would review everything again later.

Kaylee glanced at the long line next to her and then at the line for The Lies in Winter.

The competition was fierce, and the difference was stark.

Suddenly, she heard a young man's voice from the front. It turned out that someone who was in line ahead of her had moved over to the other line while she was looking O elsewhere.

"Do you want to give it to me?"

Kaylee was taken aback for a moment, and then responded, "Oh, yeah, here you go."

After receiving the resume, Mason glanced at Kaylee and then said calmly, "Just wait for the news."

"Okay."

Kaylee walked to the front door of the auditorium with her bag and took a photo, which she sent to Violeta.

By now, Violeta had made it to the company and was waiting in the Apex Entertainment conference room to sign the contract. She was signing with a new group of artists, two guys and two girls.

One of the girls, besides Violeta, was named Tracy Connor.

She was a student at the Film and Performance Academy, the same age as Violeta, and also a third-year student.

Tracy was chatting with the two guys she knew, while Violeta quietly sat to the side, waiting calmly.

Soon, an employee came in with two copies of the contract for them to sign.

While they were signing, the employee kept sneaking glances at Violeta and Tracy.

There'd been talk about a rich young woman signing, and the employee wondered which one of them it might be.

It was hard to tell just by looking at them.

Violeta was beautiful, and Tracy wasn't bad looking either.

To be chosen by Apex Entertainment meant meeting certain appearance standards, so it must be judged on their appearance.

The only way to figure it out was to look at what they were wearing.
