Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 511 The Lodge

Although variety shows follow a script, the comedic content and the excessive camera time often strip actors of their mystique in the eyes of the audience. Eugene believed that only artists who lacked popularity or buzz needed to participate in shows where they act goofy or silly to gain attention.

Violeta had both talent and popularity.

There was no need for her to cater to these shows, as doing so would only drain her unique charm.

For years, Violeta steered clear of variety shows. Her focus had been on consistently producing high-quality work.

She had never asked Eugene about variety shows before.

Unexpectedly, she actually brought it up now.

"What's going on? Are you thinking about joining a variety show?"

Violeta shook her head and asked, "Eugene, can you find out if Nolan's team is negotiating to join the show?"

Eugene's eyes widened, and he asked, "What?"

After some digging, Eugene came back with some insider information.

Surprisingly, there were indeed rumors circulated around. The director was reportedly going all out to secure Nolan's participation in the show. He wanted him to play the mysterious Warlord, a role never seen before in the show. Firstly, Nolan was immensely popular, especially in historical dramas.

People widely recognized him as the ultimate leading man in period pieces.

Secondly, Nolan was enigmatic. He had never participated in any variety shows, which only heightened his allure and status.
