Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 381 Surprise

Some actors stated that the director could call them back at any time if necessary.

However, since it was a drama and not a movie, others decided to opt out.

Among the actors who opted out was the deeply disappointed Lydia.

When Lydia eagerly prepared for the audition, she was suddenly informed that it had been cancelled.

She thought she hadn't met the requirements.

It turned out that Wendy decided to shoot a drama instead of a movie, which was the reason.

This was something Lydia couldn't accept.

The studio called her and offered an explanation. "We haven't decided on the rest of the cast for the TV series, except for the lead actress. If you're still interested, I can help you."

"No, thank you!"

Lydia refused flatly.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

She wanted to transition to a movie, not drama.

Her stature was slightly behind that of the top actresses in the domestic entertainment industry. Why go through all the trouble of shooting a drama abroad? It was a waste of her effort.

She hung up and felt extremely disappointed.

All her preparations were in vain.

"Find out why Wendy abandoned the movie for a drama."

"Alright."

Actually, there was no need to investigate.

Soon, Wendy's high-profile appearance at the airport made entertainment news. She quickly topped the trending news on Facebook.

Her assistant looked at the trending news in shock and said, "Lydia, look! Wendy appeared at the airport!"

Lydia rolled her eyes and mocked, "Are entertainment reporters having nothing to do now? Appearing at the airport is news."

Her assistant shook her head, pointing at the phone. "No, it's not in Glorialand. It's at Quinston Airport!"

What?

Wendy have come to Quinston!?

Lydia immediately picked up her phone and checked the news.

The top trending news was indeed about the famous Glorian director's appearance at Quinston Airport, which caused a frenzy among fans. Along with Wendy, actress Violeta, who had just finished shooting in Glorialand, was another trending topic.

Photos from the airport mostly showed Violeta's fans and the media waiting for her.

They didn't expect to see Wendy show up at the airport, either.

In a brief video, fans let out screams on the side.

Meanwhile, the media swarmed in to interview them. Thankfully, the airport security managed the situation, or it would have been chaotic. Violeta and Wendy got into a car and left.

Speculation online quickly exploded.

A popular entertainment vlogger conjectured, Director Stokes

mentioned a few months ago that she was preparing a movie. Now she's arriving in Quinston with

Violeta. Could they be collaborating?'

There were all kinds of guesses made online. Some media even called Wendy's studio for information.

After the assistant read the news, she said disdainfully, "Didn't the director say the movie was cancelled? How could she be collaborating with Violeta?

"Could this be Violeta's team hyping things up again? What do you think, Lydia?" the assistant asked.

Lydia scrolled through social media.

She said, "It's too early to conclude The studio announced a change. from the movie to a TV series, Could Violeta be collaborating with Wendy on the series?"

The assistant frowned and said, "Lydia, that can't be. Maybe Wendy and Violeta's meeting was coincidental?"

Lydia put down her phone and

looked at the assistant. She

questioned, "Coincidental? Did they

happen to be on the same flight and then leave the airport in the same car? There's no such thing as that many coincidences."

Lydia firmly believed that this was no coincidence; she was convinced that everything depended on effort.

The assistant was at a loss for words and finally said, in resentment, "I'll investigate what's going on with Wendy's TV series."

At Apex Entertainment.

After arriving at the company, Eugene went to report to the higher-ups.

Violeta arranged to meet Danielle the next day.

Danielle's internship at InkQuill Studio has turned into a full-time screenwriter position after working with Violeta.

It was a surprise for Violeta to bring in Wendy as the director.
