The Superstar Rebirth: Viona Amethyst

Entertainment industry is not an easy world to enter and survive in. Viona knows all of this is a fact. But it doesn't stop her from pursuing her dream of becoming an artist. Acting alongside famous actors and artists, having numerous fans, being interviewed by the media, and, of course, having a lot of money to spend on whatever she wants.

Well, it's not like Viona doesn't have money right now; she just doesn't want to squander her parents' wealth.

Viona Chrystalis Amethyst is the youngest child of the Amethyst family. They are one of the top 50 wealthiest families in Country I. They own various businesses, but their most famous one is the retail and sports goods production company, Amethyst Corporation. Additionally, they also own the largest media company named Amethyst Entertainment, with its own television channel and dozens of artists under its umbrella, along with other profitable ventures.

Viona has three elder brothers: Angkasa Amethyst, 27 years old, the CEO of Ame Corporation (a subsidiary of Amethyst Corporation); then the 24-year-old twins, Galih Amethyst, CEO of Amethyst Entertainment, and Gilang Amethyst, CEO of Ame Fashion and Jewelry. Viona Amethyst herself is 20 years old, just graduated from a prestigious university in Country I with a degree in Communication Studies. However, she chooses to be an artist instead of following her family's footsteps in the business world.

Naturally, her family opposes her decision, as they know much more about the entertainment industry than the youngest member of the family does. But who can blame Viona for being born as the only daughter and the pampered youngest child?

After causing quite a stir, Viona is eventually allowed to become an artist, but with the condition that she must be under the Amethyst's wing. Viona certainly doesn't want to change her family's mind and agrees to their terms. However, oh Viona, what is she if not a rebel?

She doesn't want to be known publicly as an Amethyst. Thus, Crystal Viona is born.

Viona doesn't want to be famous or accepted by society because of her family name, so she enters the entertainment world from scratch and competes with hundreds of other new artists trying to join the company. Her journey is not easy. Who doesn't know about the bullying that newcomers in the entertainment industry face? Especially when those newcomers don't have any connections to help them.

Viona becomes an easy target for not-so-famous senior artists. Several times, resources she almost had are taken by other artists. Even her own manager sometimes lets contracts that should have been hers be taken by artists who have been with the management longer.

Fortunately, Viona's stubbornness pays off. She has promised herself and wants to prove to her family that she is not just a spoiled child enjoying her parents' wealth. Viona can also succeed and become famous through her hard work.

With the secret assistance she receives from her three brothers, Viona manages to join the crew of the movie "A Time for The Future" and plays a supporting role, closely related to the male lead character. "A Time for The Future" is a film directed by Hayden Nusa, a renowned director and producer who has created many successful works.

The film has a fantasy and ancient kingdom theme, combining western fantasy with magical powers and the traditions of Country I. It introduces the unique clothing and traditions of Country I, blended with the special powers of European fantasy.

The shooting takes place entirely in Country I, visiting various cities with exceptional landscapes and traditions. It lasts for about 5 months for the shooting process alone, followed by 1 month for promotional activities and finishing touches by the crew.

As expected, the film is immediately embraced by film enthusiasts, especially when they see the famous cast members. The male lead is played by an actor who recently won the Best Lead Actor award in Country I, Hadrian Arkana. The female lead is portrayed by an artist who has recently entered the international film scene, Syeila Larasati. And there are other well-known actors and actresses. Although they are yet to know who Crystal Viona is, from talk shows and film promotions, they can see that the beautiful girl is talented as an artist.

And luckily, they are not disappointed. They thoroughly enjoy the 2-hour and 30-minute film when it is released in various cinemas in Country I. Not just in City J, where it was first shown, but also in several major cities. The film receives high ratings and excellent results.

It even manages to qualify and be nominated for the Best Film category at the 2031 Country I Film Awards, in the fantasy and romance genres!

Of course, the director and some of the artists involved also receive their own nominations.

Viona herself is nominated for the Best New Actress award for 2031, and she wins!

Her three-year struggle of competing with other artists has paid off.

From there, Viona's career in the entertainment world becomes more solid, and two years later, she finally enters the international film scene. Although she is not initially regarded highly, given the presence of more famous international artists, Viona doesn't give up. She hones her acting skills and is not hesitant to audition for roles that are notoriously difficult to land.

Thankfully, Viona possesses other talents besides acting, such as proficiency in the martial art of Silat and the ability to play the violin. She makes good use of these skills. After five years of striving in Hollywood, Viona secures the lead role in the film "Shadow Within The Light," directed by none other than Raymond Artelli.

Who doesn't know Raymond Artelli? Even if someone is not a film enthusiast, they would still be familiar with this legendary Hollywood figure, who has created five timeless Box Office movies throughout his career! Even to this day, many people re-watch his masterpieces!

Raymond's latest film, "Shadow Within The Light," is a departure from his previous themes of fantasy and romance, as this time, it is an action and drama film, with a hint of romance.

The film tells the story of Jade West, a wealthy princess sold to the mafia due to her family's debts, who grows up as part of the mafia family, dealing with conflicts and getting hurt. Eventually, there is a big clash within the organization, which results in the death of Jade's adoptive parents and close associates. Jade decides to seek revenge but ends up getting into an accident and suffering from amnesia. She is then taken care of by her adoptive parents' enemy, who was the reason behind their deaths.

The film portrays the humanity of criminals and also reveals the dark side of humanity. There are many heart-wrenching stories in the film and many stories that show the horrors of the lives of discarded people.

The film becomes the first international movie that brings Crystal Viona's name to the world.

At the age of 30, Viona is nominated as one of the artists at the Oscar Awards. And thanks to her hard work, she wins one award that night as the Best Leading Actress.

The following year, Viona becomes more and more recognized by the public, and the peak of her fame is when she turns 35. On that night at the Oscar Awards, she wins 4 out of the 5 nominations submitted in her name.

And that night is the last time anyone sees Crystal Viona live because on the same night, her car is hit by a fanatical fan, tragically leading to her death.
