Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 334 Official Announcement of the Debut

In the evening, the trending topic of 'The Quiet Ode' overshadowed 'The Moon Belongs To You'.

Apex revealed their new artists, coinciding with the trending topic of 'The Quiet Ode.'

Lydia's contract with Apex Entertainment expired a few months ago and she announced the establishment of her ownstudio without renewing her contract or keeping her manager.

The phrase "Apex's Top Gun" had been trending for three days straight until it mysteriously disappeared.

There were a lot of reasons for that, but its sudden disappearance was undoubtedly due to Apex's PR efforts.

...

Now, Apex made a high-profile announcement of four new artists.

Four of them had both talent and looks.

Chad and Tracy were film school graduates.

Violeta was a top-ranked beauty and a graduate of the prestigious Toland University.

They were all special in their way.

Among them, Violeta was the most mysterious and low-key.

Brandon had formed a band and participated in music festivals, already having a fan base.

Chad and Tracy had produced short dramas on TikTok, garnering a large following.

Only Violeta, apart from a brief spark of attention when Wade announced the filming of the web series 'The Quiet Ode,' had no other notable presence.

Moreover, the attention from 'The Quiet Ode' had been mostly negative.

The official Apex Facebook page was flooded with discussions from curiousizens.

With such good looks, it seems that Apex is planning something big!'

I think Apex is trying to prove that even without Lydia, they can create another star like her. But between Violeta and Tracy, who will be the new top gun at Apex?'

Artists are just pawns. Since Lydia left Apex, she hasn't had much going on. She didn't even attend the recent film festival. Could it be that she's being suppressed by the industry?'

Thank you for letting Lydia go, and best of luck to Apex's new signings.'

Lydia is on vacation abroad, updating beautiful photos almost every day on social media.'

Tracy is unique and she doesn't have to compete for the top spot.'

Am I the only one who thinks Violeta is in the right lane? Brandon aside, Tracy and Chad started online, but Violeta's first role is the lead in a series by Wade. Even if it's a spinoff, I think she has a lot of potential. My vote goes to Violeta.'

I don't get why Violeta is the campus belle of Toland University. The more I look at her, the more masculine she seems. Tracy is the real beauty here. Just a passerby, not a fan of anyone, don't attack me.'

There will only ever be one Lydia in the industry. Please don't start fights in the comments.'

...

The comment section was buzzing with diverse opinions.

Soon after, the promotion for 'The Quiet Ode' ramped up.

The official account for 'The Quiet Ode' posted five updates on Facebook, including a giveaway and behind-the-scenes videos.

Simultaneously, the marketing accounts Eugene contacted started sharing behind-the-scenes content and candid photos of Violeta from the shoot.

The trending topics occupied the top two spots.

Marketing accounts noticed the trend and followed it.

Violeta was Apex's new signing, and Wade was a top screenwriter in the industry.

The Quiet Ode' was his first web

series, a fact that had already generated online buzz. Now the

promotion clearlyindicated that the series was complete and ready for release.

The hype was intense and well-funded.

With both sides drawing attention, Violeta's name also made it into the top three on Tik Tok trending search, with her Facebook followers skyrocketing.

At home, Zelena was memorizing her lines.

She kept a close eye on Facebook trends to check the trending topics.

To maintain the hype for the filming of 'Spring Isn't Blooming,' she had even spent her own money on promotional marketing.

But it disappeared like a bubble, replaced by the surge of interest in Violeta.

Zelena quickly jolted up and frantically refreshed Facebook on her phone.

The Quiet Ode' had begun its promotion.

The seven episode web series had signed a contract with a streaming platform, with all episodes set to release on the fifteenth. The first three episodes' trailers were already available online.

The Quiet Ode' was originally a spinoff from Wade's previous film adaptation, 'The Frozen Dawn.'

It already carried significant buzz.

Moreover, the cast of 'The Quiet Ode' was impressive.

Every notable character with scenes opposite the main lead was starred by a seasoned actor.
