![The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]](https://idrive.wunovel.com/at-global/cover/67f78ebcfcf88956c80a1a96.jpg?time=1744277180579)
ASTRID was sitting at the waiting area of one of the show’s filming sites. It was a medieval village. The site of where Caesar, the protagonist, met Luan when they were younger. He and the actor playing Caesar would have a photoshoot here. Aside from them, there were also the child actors who would play their younger versions.
Truthfully, the photographer in charge could have just chosen to use a green screen as background and edit it later. But he was probably aiming for a more realistic approach. Astrid wasn’t against that though. Photos with real backgrounds was definitely better to look at than an edited one.
Astrid already had his hair and make-up on. He wasn’t wearing his pope or cardinal costume but simple shirt and trousers. Like a simple villager. Not only that, the clothes he’s wearing was similar to the ones the child actor playing his younger version was wearing.
The two children were the first ones to take photos. He actually arrived a bit too early, but that’s better than being late. Miguel Estrada – the actor playing Caesar Warwick was still not here though. Not that it’s bad. After all, the time for them to start was still half an hour from now.
Once he finished this shoot with Miguel, he would shoot with the third female lead. The other played the Saintess of the Church of Jaya. She’s the female cast member he had most scenes with. Which was only natural considering her role.
Then, after that was the shoot with Yujin and Lance Reid. Because the three of them were all members of the Ashelad royal family in the show. This shoot would most likely be done in the afternoon.
Astrid wasn’t too worried. He had confidence that he would do well, just like he did yesterday. His only concern was the shoot with Lance Reid. Of course, he had no doubt that he could reject the other’s advances. He might be handsome, but could he be more handsome than Wulfric?
He chuckled at that thought. Suddenly thinking of the other just proved how much influence Wulfric had on him. Well, it’s not like the other didn’t earn it. Wulfric managed to achieve such a result because of all his efforts. And since these efforts had reached Astrid, he wouldn’t deny the other of its influence on him.
Anyway, Wulfric was not the issue right now. He should probably think of the incoming problem. In the form of a certain human named Lance Reid. He was confident that he could fend the other off. But he couldn’t say the same for Yujin.
Although Yujin seemed to be the type who wouldn’t be easily seduced, it wouldn’t hurt to remind the other to be careful. Or should he just give him mental attack every time he tried to flirt to any of them? Astrid was really tempted to do just that.
“Miguel Estrada is here.”
Ellis’ reminder pulled Astrid from his own thoughts. He turned his head to the direction where Ellis was looking. There, walking to the waiting area where they were, was a tall and muscularly built man. Not the type that looked like a weightlifting athlete or a gym instructor, but someone with clearly defined muscles.
He had a head of curly dark brown hair that was now styled like it was windswept. Probably to give the illusion that he was someone from the village. As the other was also wearing simple clothes like Astrid.
But no matter how messy his hair was or how simple his clothes were, Miguel could hardly be seen as just some random villager. With his beautiful chocolate brown skin, amber colored eyes, and those handsome facial features, how could anyone think he’s ‘ordinary’?
The other finally arrived at where they were, his two assistants walking behind him. Astrid quickly stood up and greeted the other first.
“Hello, Mr. Estrada. I’m Astrid Townsend. I’m very honored to work with you today,” he said with just the right amount of politeness.
Miguel observed the teenager in front of him. He heard that he would be working with a newcomer today. He didn’t have the hobby of checking on his co-stars. As long as they had no problems with their acting, then they also wouldn’t have a problem with him.
That’s why he didn’t have any past knowledge about this teenager. All he knew was that he’s a newcomer. So, seeing the other up close like this, he was quite shocked. After all, this kid’s beauty was really no joke. But he soon returned to normal and let out a hearty laugh.
“No need to be so formal. Just call me Miguel. Calling me ‘brother’ would also do since I’m a few years older than you,” he said in a very friendly manner.
“I don’t think it’s just a ‘few’ years,” quipped by one of his assistants.
“Hey, that’s uncalled for,” he said to the other.
He seemed to be scolding his assistant but one could see that he was also just playing along. Showing that the two had a good relationship.
Astrid’s smile became a bit more genuine after seeing the other’s good attitude. Miguel Estrada was someone at the top 10 of the current Star List. And yet the way he carried himself showed no arrogance at all. He seemed to be very approachable. Like a friendly older brother next door.
Truthfully, someone with his rank in the Star List wouldn’t star in a TV series. All of them would choose a movie instead. Because they no longer needed whatever fame and popularity a TV series could give them. But Astrid heard that the other was doing this as a favor. All because the one that catapulted him to stardom was a TV series directed by the Director Scott.
In Astrid’s opinion, that showed Miguel’s good character.
“Then, I’ll be shameless and do so,” he said and then smiled brightly. “Brother Miguel.”
Miguel felt like he received a crit from that smile. He truly wanted to stretch out his arm and ruffled the other’s hair. What a cute kid.
