Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 277 Condition

Wade exclaimed, "It turns out Violeta is your sister! Haha, what a small world!"

The old man had already taken a liking to Violeta. He even considered giving her the lead role in 'Spring in Moon City' when she was in her third year of university.

However, the script wasn't yet complete, and the timing wasn't ideal for filming.

Wade also wanted Violeta to refine her acting skills further.

After all, polishing a rough diamond takes time.

Surprisingly, Niall had approached Wade directly.

At this point, Wade's attitude had changed. When they talked about an actress he liked, the old man softened his demeanor considerably.

Wade admitted, "Violeta is your sister. I have to say, I see a lot of potential in her.

"You want me to consider her for the role? It's doable, but this drama will be far more demanding than you might expect. Although it's a short series, the investment is significant, and even if it airs on a web series platform, it might not break even. The role itself isn't as appealing as you might think."

"It's alright."

Niall replied calmly, "My opinion on the story doesn't matter; what truly matters is that my sister likes it."

Wade nodded and teased him. "I can't imagine this.

"Violeta has such loving family and friends around her, yet she wasn't spoiled. It's quite rare."

Strictly speaking, Violeta wasn't spoiled; sometimes, she was overly polite.

If you didn't know her background, you might think she had been through the hardships of society for years. She had good manners and a rare quality for someone of her status-humility.

Humility was different from modesty.

This quality involves carrying a reverent heart for all things and walking through life without arrogance. It's something that usually comes from significant life experiences, yet Violeta possessed it at the young age of 20.

Modesty, on the other hand, was merely being humble.

This was the very reason Wade saw great potential in Violeta.

When he learned that Niall was her brother, he was genuinely surprised.

Wade then discussed the necessary conditions for filming this series with Niall.

"In my projects, special effects can't exceed twenty percent, so we need real locations and no green screens.

"People know I'm picky about actors, but they don't realize that this pickiness is what makes the final product so perfect.

"I didn't originally plan to make this series, but if I do, it has to be the best. Even if it's a web series, it'll be the best web series."

There hadn't been any standout web series on the market yet. Wade's words set a high bar for the series even before filming began. Niall felt reassured by Wade's determination.

...

The next day.

Word spread that Wade would personally write the script and start filming a web series.

A rare visitor arrived at Wade's place because of the news.

The housekeeper led a tall young man, dressed in a black casual jacket, into the living room to meet Wade.

Wade, who was sipping tea, looked up as the visitor approached.

"Hayden, what a surprise!"

Hayden smiled politely at him. The housekeeper took the gift he brought. Then Hayden sat across from Wade.

"I heard you're working on a new script."

Wade asked, "What's the matter? You want a role in the drama?"

Hayden chuckled and said in a clear voice, "I'm not interested in acting. I heard you're looking for a suitable filming location with a lake view."

Wade confirmed and said, "Yes, youOriginal content from NôvelDrama.Org.

for green screen effects. We can't start filming without the right location."

Hayden offered, "How about Veilmist Lake in Icroln?"

The room fell quiet.

Wade was taken aback.

Most of Veilmist Lake was part of the Frosts' private vacation estate, which retained its ancient charm-perfect for filming.

"Oh? Are you going to offer your family's vacation estate for my film?"

Hayden nodded. The maid came to serve them tea. Hayden waited

continuing, "You can use it for free, but I want a role in return."

Wade's expression shifted slightly at the request. He said, "Haha, I'd prefer if you asked for payment. A role is more valuable than a location.

"But I'm curious, which role are you interested in, and for whom?"

"Naturally, I'm aiming for the lead female role," Hayden replied.

Wade replied, "We've already decided on the lead role. Honestly, I didn't plan to make this series initially, but someone persistently approached me several times, and the fole suits her perfectly, sol agreed."

Hayden replied, "Oh? The person I'm thinking of also fits the lead role perfectly."

Could there be someone more suitable than Violeta?
