Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 593 Violeta's Reputation Took a Hit

This movie was one that Violeta deemed worth sacrificing her own time for. As a conventionally solid movie, it wouldn't reflect poorly on her career.

What she didn't expect was just how pumped her fans would be.

The buzz wasn't bought it was all thanks to them.

Her fans took it upon themselves to hype up the film, posting all sorts of edited videos online. Thanks to their amazing efforts, a lot of these clips went viral on short video platforms.

Violeta had been out of the spotlight for a year and a half, so her fans missed her and were determined to see the movie.

The movie was Violeta's big debut in the movie world, and it was going head-to-head with other veteran films during the National Day holiday.

One of the rivals was Ophelia, with her new movie Dawn, which was her first take on a revolutionary-themed story.

Both movies had pretty much the same setting and time period.
