Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism



Nolan thought for a moment and said, "If it needs to be delayed for two months, I'm fine with that. I can waive my fee for the reshoots until the filming is completed."

Nolan had recently won the Best Actor Award, and his fees had skyrocketed.

Although he accepted this project, he only slightly reduced his fees from the base rate. However, his fees were already the highest among the cast.

It would be a significant contribution from Nolan to waive his fees and allow the fund to pay for the equipment rental costs.

While this was a solution, it was clearly not a permanent fix.

Reshoots would require not just Nolan but several other actors to be on standby.

These actors had already signed contracts with other production teams, and the sudden changes would not be as easily negotiated.

Unlike Nolan, they might not be as accommodating since they needed to make a living and were not the main stars.

Convincing all these actors to be on standby for two months would be a significant undertaking.

Moreover, Nolan's waived fees wouldn't cover the entire cost.

Essentially, spending money to buy actors' time was a considerable issue.

The producer didn't have an endless supply of money. Furthermore, post-production costs, such as special effects, necessitated a substantial budget.

The director sighed. He was slightly relieved and said, "Nolan, thank you."

Nolan replied, "No problem; it's what I should do. I also want this series to succeed."

The director turned to Violeta and asked, "What about you?"

If Violeta didn't, it would make her seem uncooperative.

However, Violeta wasn't planning to waive her fees just yet, as it wasn't the right time.

She paused and then said, "I have an idea to complete the filming within the deadline."

The director looked intrigued. "Oh?"

Violeta smiled and said, "It might not be very favorable for some actors."

The director urged, "Well, let's hear it."

Violeta explained, "I've read all of Mr. Howell's works. In this series, the role of the second female lead has a similar storyline to that of the third female lead. Since Zelena's injury requires a delay in filming, why not shift her scenes to Emily's

u

character?"

In other words, distribute Zelena's scenes to other actors when she was absent.

The biggest beneficiary of this change wouldn't be Violeta, but the actress playing the third female lead.

She was away. Currently, she was filming in another province with the assistant director, unaware of the windfall heading her way.

Everyone understood Violeta's suggestion.

Changing the script was indeed the least damaging solution at the moment.

The director asked, "Mr. Howell, what do you think about altering the script?"

Wade said, "Violeta's proposal is indeed a viable solution."

Transferring Isabella's scenes to Emily wouldn't be too jarring, especially since the final cut could include or exclude any footage shot.

A two-month filming period might only result in two-thirds of the footage being used.

Violeta reassured him, "Changing the script won't disrupt the main plot. Mr. Howell, you know your storyline best."

Wade understood his narrative well.

Naturally, he understood the plot thoroughly.

Violeta was a fan of his novel. Her

familiarity with his stories suggested she had invested a significant amount of time in reading his books.

She had worked on her acting and made time to read his other works.

Violeta's commitment to his work moved him.

Finally, Wade nodded in agreement.

He said, "Given the circumstances, this seems like the best option. However, rewriting the script will take some time. Let me work on it, and then we can discuss it further."

The director agreed, "Alright, let's proceed with this plan for now."

With Zelena injured and Wade revising the script, everything seemed to be falling into place.

After leaving the tent, Violeta paused and glanced into the distance.

Depending on the storyline, Isabella's significance in the early plot may or may not be considered significant.
