![The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]](https://idrive.wunovel.com/at-global/cover/67f78ebcfcf88956c80a1a96.jpg?time=1744277180579)
ASTRID opened the door of the flying car that stopped in front of his apartment building. He sat down on the passenger’s seat.
“Good morning, Sister Ellis,” he said to the woman driving the vehicle.
“Good morning,” the other greeted back. “Did you have a good weekend?”
Thinking of the things he had done this weekend, especially what he did on Saturday, he couldn’t help but show a bright smile. “Yes, it was amazing.”
“That’s good.”
Ellis started the car and entered the direction of the space port in the GPS system.
They were on their way to FS05 – the filming location of [The Great War]. It’s a film studio planet that had a lot of rustic sets perfect for a movie with a medieval setting and large-scale war scenes.
Today was the start of his one month leave to film this series. Since he was only the fourth male lead, his shooting schedule was much shorter compared to the main cast.
[The Great War] would have a total of 35 episodes and Astrid would appear mostly in snippets in most of them. There’s probably only a handful of episodes where his screentime would be more than 10 minutes. But every time he appeared, something important would happen. So, his appearance wasn’t simply a filler.
That’s why it’s important for him to do his utmost best in every scene he had. He should make sure that he would leave a lasting impression on the audience.
“Have you memorized all your lines?” Ellis asked.
“Don’t worry, Sister Ellis. I’ve already memorized everything,” Astrid said. “Oh, right, before I forget.” He took out the box of tea bags he specifically saved for Ellis and gave it to the other. “This is a box of tea bags from my family’s farm.”
Ellis’ eyes brightened when she saw the box. She still remembered how good this tea was. She took the box and put it in her space stone. “Thank you. I almost thought you forgot about it.”
“How could that be?” Astrid said, acting all affronted. “You have to have a bit more trust in me, you know?”
Ellis chuckled. “Of course, I do. I’ll definitely enjoy the tea.”
They reached the spaceport in such a comfortable atmosphere.
The two got out of the car once Ellis parked the car.
“Would someone pick your car later?” Astrid asked.
“Nah. I already arranged for it to be parked here until we returned.”
Astrid wanted to ask if that would cost too much money, but before he could, he heard his name from somewhere.
“Hey, is that Astrid Townsend?”
“Who?” asked by the guy accompanying the girl who just spoke.
“A newbie actor who appeared in [Blind Justice]’s 100th episode. He’s really good.”
“Never heard of him. But if you’re talking about that black-haired teenager over there, then I must say that he’s really pretty.”
“He’s more than a pretty face, you know? He got the talent to back it up,” the girl said. Then, she called, “Astrid!!!”
This shout immediately attracted the attention of the people nearby. They looked at the girl first and then at the teenager she was calling.
“Kids these days. Why is she shouting like that instead of just approaching her friend?”
“I don’t think their friends. That boy over there is most likely an actor.”
“An actor?”
Near the two who just spoke was a group of young men and women.
“Wait- I think I know him. Isn’t that Astrid Townsend?”
“Astrid, you mean that beautiful newcomer from [Blind Justice]? Where?”
“There!”
“Oh my god, it’s really Astrid! He’s even more beautiful in reality. I thought all of that is just make-up and special effects.”
“You’re right. How can someone look so good?”
Just like the first girl, they also called out to Astrid.
Astrid hearing this turned to that direction. Seeing the young people over there, he smiled generously and waved. The people who saw this was stunned and then, after a few seconds, their cheer became even louder.
Ellis quickly pulled Astrid towards the terminal before those people decided to approach them. She didn’t stop until they were queuing for the spacecraft that would bring them to FS05.
“Maybe you should wear a mask next time,” she said looking at her artist.
Astrid’s followers on [Cyberspace] was already over 900,000. She should have expected that some people would recognize him. This was a big negligence on her part.
“Sister Ellis, relax,” Astrid said to the other with a smile. “It’s not like they were about to mob us.”
“Maybe not this time,” Ellis said meaningfully.
They both knew that once [The Sleeping God] was released, Astrid’s fame would definitely catapult to another level. It was directed by Director Trevane. So, it was already a sure box-office hit. As long as Astrid showed a great performance, then his popularity would definitely skyrocket. Knowing her artist’s skills, then that’s already a given.
“It’s fine. I don’t mind interacting with my fans,” Astrid said.
Ellis wanted to say that interacting and being mobbed were two different things. But she stopped herself. It’s fine if this kid continued to have a pure heart regarding ‘fans’. At least he would treat them whole-heartedly. That’s always good, especially for a newcomer.
As his agent, it’s her job to prevent anything unsavory that these fans might do to reach Astrid.
A few minutes later, they finally entered the spacecraft travelling to FS05. Because the spacecrafts travelling to filming studio planets were much smaller compared to normal ones, there were no division.
The two entered the spacecraft and looked for their seats according to the number on their tickets.
“Astrid, here,” Ellis called after finding the right seats. She first went in and sat down.
Astrid followed. The seating on his spacecraft were made in a way that four people were sitting while facing each other. So, when he raised his head, he was a bit stunned to see a familiar person sitting on the opposite side.
Long black hair with a blue sheen and pair of bright blue eyes – Yujin Wells.
