![The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]](https://idrive.wunovel.com/at-global/cover/67f78ebcfcf88956c80a1a96.jpg?time=1744277180579)
MARK couldn't control the excitement he felt after he heard what the teenager said. He almost jumped from his seat and hugged the other. But he controlled himself. Because he had a feeling that if he did, then the teenager's brother would probably not only push him away like he did earlier but he might even punch him. Seeing how stacked the other was, receiving a punch from him would definitely hurt like hell. He'd rather avoid that from happening.
So, he cleared his throat first to hide his excitement first. But the glint of happiness in his eyes couldn't cover it. He obviously couldn't contain his excitement. "Great! The movie is still in the middle of filming. Would it be alright if Mr. Townsend go to audition at the set of the movie?"
"Yes, that's fine. And please, just call me Astrid."
This was a good opportunity for him. A fantasy-adventure movie directed by Daniel Trevane? Any newcomer would be elated to be part of it even as an extra. What's more, the role being offered to him was not just an extra.
Even if his role would only appear at the end, one could still feel the presence of his role throughout the progression of the movie. After all, the whole plot revolved around a group of people going on an adventure to wake up the 'god'. It would be stupid of him not to take it.
So, no matter where the audition might be, he would go there.
"The crew is filming at a Film Studio planet. Don't worry, it's near the capital star. Using space warp, it will only take about 15 minutes from the space port to get there."
Film Studio planets were small artificial planets solely made for filming movies or series, as well as advertisements and many other things. In short, it's a studio but in the form of a planet.
They had all the set that any genre of movie could possibly need. They could even adjust the season depending on what was needed on the scene. These planets were usually owned by entertainment companies.
When Astrid found out about that, he was quite shocked. He couldn't believe that filming things in this era would be so convenient. It's probably the reason why there's almost an unlimited number of movies and series being released every year. Because not only was it now very convenient to film, with the advanced technology, putting the final touch on a movie or a series would no longer take that much time as it was during his past life.
So, being able to direct a movie that could rise up among all the movies being produced every year already spoke volumes of Director Trevane's skills. That's why it's all the more reason for him to do everything to grab this opportunity.
"I will be accompanying you there, so there's no need for you to worry about transportation and the likes," Mark quickly added when he saw that the teenager – Astrid hadn't responded for a few seconds now. He was worried that he might be having a second thought after hearing that they needed to leave the capital so he could audition. "If you could give me your contact number and current address, that would be good."
"No. My brother's contact number will be enough," Reas suddenly interjected.
Although it was already proven that this guy was not some crazy stalker, he's still not comfortable knowing that someone who's almost a stranger knew about where his brother lived.
"Of course, of course," Mark said.
Who was he to refuse? He didn't want to be thrown to the ground again. Besides, he kind of get where this cranky young man was coming from. If he had a brother like Astrid, he would also be overprotective.
Astrid chuckled. He quickly understood what his brother was thinking. So, even if he was fine with Mr. Rogers knowing his address, he still didn't contradict what Reas' said.
So, he and Mr. Rogers could only exchange their contact number with each other.
"I will send you a portion of the script," Mark said, sending a two-page script that involved a scene with the role Astrid was going to auditioned to. "By the way, do you have a prior experience on acting?"
[Well, if you're asking about my past life's acting experience, then I have plenty of that.]
But of course, Astrid couldn't say that. So, he could only say, "No, I don't."
Mark had already expected something like that. It would be a lie if he said that there wasn't a bit of disappointment. But he really shouldn't be complaining. He should consider himself extremely lucky for even managing to find the teenager. Not to mention, the other agreeing to his offer. Besides, even if the other didn't have any acting experience, Director Trevane could surely guide him along the way.
Well, he should pass the audition first. Mark shook his head. He should remain positive. With Astrid's appearance, even the director would be reluctant to fail him.
"That's okay. I have confidence that you will pass the audition," he said, more so to himself than to the teenager.
Astrid only smiled. He knew that that was not the other was thinking. He's probably worried about his lack of acting experience. After all, this movie was definitely a huge production. It would be a problem if they would cast a talentless actor. Especially since the role they were offering him was not that unimportant.
He wasn't planning to relieve Mr. Rogers of his worry. He's just had to show him during the audition that he was deserving of that role. Although he still was not familiar with the way people in this era shoot a movie, he was confident with his acting skills. All he had to do was adapt.
"When will the audition be?" he just asked instead.
"It depends on when you're free," Mark said. He wanted to give him time to at least analyze the script he gave him.
"Then let's do it tomorrow," Astrid said with a smile.
