Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 106 The Sequel of "Spring in Moon City" Wade gave a silent agreement, then turned his eyes and said, "I've been having difficulty finding inspiration and have always felt an emptiness. Coupled with the difficulty of finding appropriate actors, I've decided to pause the project. However, I now view it as a fortunate turn of events, giving this endeavour the opportunity to develop fully. Let's wait a little longer, let the jade be polished a bit more." Jade? Is he referring to the sequel of "Spring in Moon City", or is he alluding to a person? Wade's words were mysterious, and even though he didn't directly mention it, Waylen had a feeling about what he was referring to.

"Spring in Moon City" stands as one of Wade's most popular script, along with "Triple Blood".

There were rumours circulating online years ago regarding the potential adaptation of "Spring in Moon City" into a series.

However, despite the passing of several years, there has been no advancement on that front.

It had been five long years since Wade unveiled the first part of "Spring in Moon City", leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions. Fans were buzzing with excitement, eagerly awaiting the next season. But to their dismay, Wade had yet to put pen to paper for the sequel, leaving them hanging in suspense.

Learning that Wade is finally preparing to write the sequel is truly encouraging news.

In recent times, there has been a lack of actress in the entertainment industry with a background in martial arts, as martial arts movies have declined in popularity. Despite multiple efforts, numerous films have struggled to leave a notable mark.

Contrary to Wade, the scripts he transforms always achieve top ratings, which is why Waylen appointed him as the official scriptwriter.

However, Wade's standards for choosing actors are extremely rigorous, and only a handful of actors meet his expectations.

The present group of actors who have left a significant impression are experienced veterans, but their age might not match the roles required.

The new actors lack experience and falter under pressure. Seven find it challenging to handle a prop on set, failing to meet his standards. Considering Mr. Howell's current fascination with Violeta, is it possible that he sees her as the female lead in "Spring in Moon City"? This revelation is genuinely surprising! Waylen pondered, as the opinions of Violeta among the teachers at Toland University underwent a positive change.

Hattie and Zelena experienced a sense of unease, like the feeling of accidentally swallowing a fly.

Originally, Hattie had intended to make a grand impression on the crew, hoping to garner attention and flaunt her presence before others.

To her disappointment, her attempts didn't succeed, as Violeta ended up grabbing all the attention. Discovering that Wade picked Violeta left Hattie burning with jealousy. Why does Violeta deserve Mr. Howell's choice? Luck couldn't have been any better! As Violeta left the cafeteria, she ran into Kaylee standing outside.

Even though Kaylee didn't join her indoors, she caught fragments of the conversation.

When Violeta cout, she looked at her with admiration.

"Wow, Vio, you're amazing! "How did you guys first encounter each other?" Violeta replied, "Our first meeting happened when I was strolling with Tuna in the park." Kaylee grinned. "Mr. Howell thinks highly of you. Did you notice? Hattie seemed furious, and Zelena seemed surprised." Violeta smiled modestly. "It's not as impressive as you believe. Let's return to class. It's nearly time." As they walked past the cafeteria and the playground, they glimpsed someone running in the distance on the grounds. On closer examination, it turned out to be Benson.

Kaylee commented, "Seems like he's dealing with the PE teacher's punishment for being late and leaving early." Since Benson joined Toland University with Hattie, he's been frequently scolded by teachers.

Observing the figure on the playground, Violeta's eyes showed a touch of worry.

She realised it wasn't Benson's fault. Instead, he was being ostracized by four men from the computer science department. Consequently, any good deeds he did were seen as bad, and any mistakes he made were considered even worse.

In the end, he was battling for the family legacy.

If he couldn't endure and ended up dropping out of school, it might all cto an end.

But would Benson give up on his studies so easily? His ambitions extend far beyond that...

Violeta looked away, saying, "Let's move on." Maybe Kaylee also felt a hint of something, let out a sigh, and said, "I can't help but feel pity for him. The sun is blazing at noon...

As the afternoon wore on, word of the cafeteria incident spread rapidly throughout the performing arts department.

Rumours swirled that two outstanding freshmen had risen to prominence in their their inaugural year, boasting extensive connections.

They were said to be familiar with the crew director and had a strong bond with Wade Howell, the scriptwriter. This fwas initially destined for Hattie alone, but now she had to split it with Violeta.

Why did this happen? Hattie felt profoundly dissatisfied.

Zelena noticed her discontent, and an idea started forming in her head.

She proposed to Hattie, "Hattie, didn't Mr. Howell say he often visits then park? Why don't we seize the opportunity this weekend and see if we can bump into him there?" Hattie asked, "Do you happen to know which park Mr. Howell likes?" Zelena, being naturally astute, was well aware. Her memory was on par with Violeta's.

After sthought, Zelena made an informed guess about the park Wade frequented and then checked an online map. She cautiously deduced that it was Central Park in the North District. "I can't guarantee it, but from my research, it seems like Central Park in the North District," Zelena suggested.
