The fire in the hearts of the young men and women was fully ignited as they wiped away the tears on their cheeks and began to prepare for their future with fervor.
Their enthusiasm was unbridled; they never once complained of fatigue. They trained in silence, pushing their bodies to the point of aching soreness, so much so that their coach couldn't bear to watch and urged them to take breaks and relax.
Their growing fanbase was keenly interested in their activities, bombarding them with questions about what movies or TV shows they had been in.
These young talents hadn't yet made a public appearance, and even the company hadn't informed them of what roles they might be playing. But they all believed that Ms. Haywood wouldn't let them down.
Much later, in a much-anticipated awards ceremony, Stellar Stage Entertainment's artists swept almost all the categories. Beneath the blinding spotlight, with the weight of the trophies in their hands and the sound of applause ringing in their ears, they achieved everything they had ever longed for.
Tears brimmed in their eyes, rendering them speechless as they finally stepped out of their dark days into the clamorous limelight.
Little did they now know how brightly they would shine in the future.
A summer of cicadas often requires several seasons of dormancy. The ephemeral bloom of the night-blooming cereus also waits for daylight.
All their passion and hard work were slowly fermenting, brewing into a sweet fruit of success.
Brielle hung up the phone from the first invitation to a variety show and told Donny to try to get in touch with some screenwriters and directors to see if they could ride the wave of popularity and score some roles.
The ones left in the physical training room were all top-notch, ready for action. In this business, youth was the currency, and the earlier they joined a production crew to hone their skills, the better.
"Donny, we need to bring on a few more agents. Make sure you vet them properly for competence and character. Stellar Stage Entertainment doesn't need agents who pressure their artists into unsavory situations. Their job is to make connections, and the company will handle the distribution of resources. Also, pay attention to their mental health. They have spent years at Stellar Stage Entertainment, and I'm worried they might have been mistreated by the previous management."
Donny felt a warmth in his heart when he heard this. Brielle, even as she faced her own challenges, still cared deeply for those young kids.
In reality, she was only a few years older than them, but the weight she carried on her shoulders was heavier than anyone else's.
