Nonetheless, the film proved to be exceptionally crafted, featuring breathtaking landscapes that could easily be captured in stills, making for stunning wallpapers.
Consequently, the box office numbers remained impressively high.
Before its theatrical run concluded, it amassed over three billion dollars in revenue.
Hattie's performance garnered significant acclaim, thrusting her into trending conversations. As it was her first film, many were skeptical about her abilities, especially given that her earlier roles had been rather average.
However, her portrayal in "Whisper to the Mountain Spirit" received outstanding reviews.
This achievement was primarily attributed to Hannah's close involvement, which included developing intricate backstories for her character.
A great deal of effort was dedicated to seamlessly integrating Hattie into the film's leading lady, resulting in widespread praise.
If "The Golden Ages" had also debuted this year, there was a possibility that the two films would vie for the spotlight.
At next year's awards ceremony, Violeta would be pitted against Hattie in a significant competition.
However, it was evident that Hattie wasn't focused on such matters. She had been preoccupied with chasing after money and had recently participated in an e-commerce livestream to promote various products.
Initially, she had attracted a good number of quality followers from "Whisper to the Mountain Spirit."
Yet, due to Hattie's series of reckless decisions that tarnished her own reputation, it was only a matter of time before she faced a downfall.
Once Violeta returned to her duties, the company began reallocating resources back in her favor.
Evelina finally managed to find a moment to relax and even visited the hospital for a stomach check-up, but the emotional burden weighed heavily on her.
It felt like there were no dark clouds over her while Violeta was away.
However, when Violeta returned, a shadow seemed to creep back in.
With a cake placed before her, Evelina could have indulged herself, but now, Violeta was the first to take a slice, leaving Evelina feeling disappointed.
Violeta wasn't being greedy; she was merely choosing her favorites, as her energy was limited. In contrast, Evelina forced herself to push through, even when she had no appetite.
Yet, many brands that had long collaborated with Violeta were bound by fixed contracts that Evelina couldn't easily take over.
The opportunities available in the company mainly involved scripts, commercial performances, filming, and appearances on variety shows.
