Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 338 Lofty Ambitions

"I want to do something worthwhile," Tracy insisted.

Winnie replied, "The script for 'The Lies in Winter' came from a friend in the industry. If you're not interested, don't pick it. It's a small production anyway."

Eventually, Tracy selected a fantasy romance drama from the options. She believed she'd be the lead, but Winnie had other news.

"This role is for the second female lead," Winnie informed her.

Violeta was starring in a major production as the lead, while Tracy had to settle for a secondary role in a lesser drama. The difference was stark.

Frustrated, Tracy asked, "Why?"

Winnie, sensing her distress, tried to comfort her. "Don't be hasty, Tracy. This secondary role was still a valuable opportunity from the company. They fought hard to get it."

Tracy was about to protest, but Winnie continued, "We have to admit that Violeta started from a higher position. But who says we can't surpass her? Take this role, build your reputation, and better offers will come. The company still believes in you."

Though Winnie's words made sense, Tracy found it hard to accept starting as a second lead.

After all, she had been the main lead in self-produced short films.

Seeing Tracy's reluctance, Winnie offered an alternative. "If you really want a lead role, there's another script, though it's a bit challenging."

"What is it?" Tracy asked.

"It's a detective drama, 'The Legend of Blind Detective'. It had some buzz initially but was shelved due to conflicts with some investors. Recently, I heard they're looking for actors again. I can inquire about it for you."

The Legend of Blind Detective' had the potential for awards. If Tracy chose this, it would be a significant opportunity.
