Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism novel Chapter 509

Apex Entertainment, in collaboration with Invinne Group, invested heavily in their first major film project. The movie received a substantial 1.5 billion dollar backing. The director in charge is none other than Mason, the industry's most talked-about new director.

A few years ago, Mason burst onto the scene with The Lies in Winter. That movie earned widespread acclaim for his unique cinematic style.

Some of the landscape sequences and shot composition in the movie even won him the Best Cinematography Award at the Oplen Film Festival.

Winning such a prestigious award with his very first film made Mason the youngest rising star in the industry.

Many actors dream of working with him someday.

Surprisingly, after that film, Mason went silent for three years. Instead of rushing into his next project, he took time to study art abroad.

He was rumored to have made connections during his time at the Oplen Festival that led him to expand his studies overseas.

When Apex was considering signing Evelina, they took into account that she had played the lead in Mason's previous movie.

Being the lead in a film that won the Oplen Best Cinematography Award carries significant weight.

After retreating from the limelight during the peak of his career, Mason finally returned and announced the filming of a new movie.

As soon as the news broke, every actor eagerly anticipated the release of the script, along with details about audition dates and locations.

Mason's success back then was largely due to his innate talent. The arts thrive on raw talent, and if Mason could win awards with his first film, the company expected him to be even more impressive after further honing his skills.

Moreover, with such a large investment in the movie, the industry had high expectations for this script.

Once released, this film might just become a new era-defining classic.

Many had a strong premonition that it has the potential to go international once it being released.

If Mason could use this film to break into the Oscars, it would be nothing short of legendary.

Eugene was the first to get his hands on a third of the movie script.

He immediately rushed to the lounge to show Violeta.

The Golden Age was an ensemble film.

While it had a male and female lead, every character's role was equally significant, with almost the same screen time.

The story centers around a couple on the run for smuggling alcohol who seek refuge at a private hotel near a train station.
