Artists and their management companies were inseparable, with all schedules and announcements originating from the company.
Another two weeks passed.
The biennial Skyward Awards for television dramas have finally arrived.
This was the day Violeta had been eagerly anticipating.
Eugene returned to the company, handed her the Skyward Award invitation from the TV station, and shared the exciting news of her work's nomination.
The TV station usually provides hints to ensure that guests attend the award ceremony.
The organiser would encourage them to look forward to the event and take it seriously.
Among the works nominated alongside 'The Quiet Ode' were Hattie's 'The Moon Belongs To You', Zelena's 'Spring Isn't Blooming', and Tracy's 'The Legend of Blind Detective'.
The four dramas had different airing schedules but had all completed their broadcasts by now.
For an artist, their debut work is crucial in determining whether they can win the New Actor Award.
Only those who win the New Actor Award among their peers can truly elevate their status.
Various nominees received invitations to the award ceremony at the same time.
After attending the film festival, Violeta kept a low profile and waited for the Skyward Award to arrive. Now, her wait was over.
Eugene said, "Beauty, it's our show."
Violeta said with a smile, "It has finally arrived."
Meanwhile, the other three nominees received their invitations.
Tracy asked, "A nomination? Are they just asking me to act as a placeholder?"
Hattie commented, "Winning the New Actor Award is the first step to surpassing Violeta."
Zelena remarked, "New Actor Award? That's a wonderful start."
The new generation's four actresses played a role in those dramas last year.
According to the data, Violeta's work was renowned for its quality and popularity, but because it was a web series, its chances of winning were uncertain.
After 'The Quiet Ode', the unexpected dark horse that emerged at the end of the year was 'The Legend of Blind Detective'.
Although it had an excellent script, the lead actress Tracy's acting skills were criticised online, making her hold on the New Actor Award somewhat precarious.
'The Moon Belongs To You' was the only modern idol drama. Zelena's work was a historical romance.
