The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 550: REAS' CONVINCING HIMSELF



AND Reas was not just saying that because one was his brother and the other was a friend. It was because their acting was so effective that they were able to give justice to the role. To the point that many people thought they would make a great couple.

Of course, chemistry might have something to do with it. But he didn’t want Lauren to only attribute it to that. It definitely wasn’t because he didn’t want the other to think that his pairing with Astrid was special.

Yes, it’s not because of that.

As he was busily convincing himself, Lauren, on the other hand, was already feeling moved by Reas’ words.

“Thank you,” he said. “But seriously, a part of why my character in [The Sleeping God] was received that well was because of Aster. If the one who played the role of ‘god’ was someone else, it probably wouldn’t have the same effect. That’s why this nomination would not be possible without him.”

Well, if Lauren thought so, it would be weird if Reas insisted that that wasn’t the case.

“Ah, right. I haven’t congratulated Aster yet,” Lauren said, as if only remembering about it. “You probably have already congratulated him.”

Reas scratched his cheek awkwardly. Although he did send a message to his brother, congratulating him for being nominated, Lauren was actually the one he called first.

No, he actually tried to call Astrid first. But he thought the other must be busy answering calls from their parents, as well as the general. So, he thought it would be okay to call Lauren first.

Yes, that’s definitely the reason and not because he couldn’t wait to congratulate the other.

He just chose not to respond to that comment just to be on the safe side.

“Hey, Reas, if I win this award, shouldn’t you treat me to a meal?” Lauren suddenly said with a teasing grin. “If I lost, then I’ll treat you instead.”

Reas raised a brow. “Don’t you think that’s a bit unfair?”

“What’s an unfair in that?” Lauren pouted. “If I win, you’ll treat me to a meal. If I lose, then I will treat you. Isn’t that very fair?”

“How is that fair when it’s almost certain that you will win?”

Lauren stopped and then burst out laughing. “Certain? Are you planning to bribe the judges to let me win?”

“I don’t need to do that. With how great you are in that role, only a blind judge will not choose you as the winner.”

Reas stated it with such unwavering confidence that even Lauren found himself starting to believe in his inevitable victory. A smile crept across his face, and a warmth spread in his heart. This guy had a way of saying things that unexpectedly made him feel fuzzy and giddy.

“Then I’ll be expecting you to treat me to a pretty good meal,” he could only say at the end. Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The announcement of the Silver Moon Awards regarding the nominees for this year was met with different reactions. There were those who agreed, those who didn’t, and those who simply congratulated everyone who was nominated.

It’s natural for there to be a difference in opinion. After all, everyone wanted their own favorites to be on that nomination list. That’s why it’s also natural that there were some who didn’t agree with Astrid’s nomination. What was surprising was that they weren’t that many sharing the same opinion. Most of them were simply from haters and trolls.

This was probably because of Astrid’s ranking on the [Star List]. Being in the top 100 after just three months of debut was enough qualification to be nominated in the Rookie of the Year category of the Silver Moon Awards. Logical people would think that if they questioned that, they would also be questioning ESRA for ranking him so high.

And so, after the Silver Moon Awards’ announcement, time passed by swiftly. Before anyone knew, it had already been 10 days since then.

Time moved for everyone. And the same was true for the cast and crew of [Serendipitous Summer].

“And cut!”

After Director Hale shouted that, everyone in the scene applauded. Not only because it was a perfectly shot scene but also because it marked the conclusion of filming for the movie. Yes, that was the last scene to be filmed.

And with that, the movie’s production officially ended.

Astrid did not forget to go around and thanked the staffs for all their help and hard work this past month. Following him, Charlotte also did the same.

When he arrived in front of the director, he said with a sincere smile, “Thank you, Director Hale. Filming this past month has been very fun. It’s been incredible working with everyone.”

“Thanks to the director’s guidance, I was able to act better,” Charlotte added. “I hope we can all work together again.”

Director Hale gave out a light laugh. “What are you saying? If there’s someone who should be thanking anyone here, it’s me. Because of you two, we were able to film everything smoothly and quickly. As a director, it’s the best when the actors I’m working with perfectly deliver the performance I’m imagining in my head. For that, thank you.”

And that was the truth. She was really lucky that in her debut film, these two were the main actors she worked with.

“And oh, don’t forget to attend the wrap-up party tonight, okay?” she added, before walking away with the camera crew.

“Wrap-up party… it will be my first time attending one,” Charlotte commented on the side. She glanced at Astrid. “How about you?”

“It wouldn’t be my first. I attended one when I filmed [The Sleeping God],” Astrid responded. Then he noticed that Charlotte looked worried. She’s probably thinking she’s the only ‘newbie’ at wrap-up parties. “Relax. We’re just a small filming crew.

The wrap-up party will definitely be more on the informal side. So, you don’t have to worry about how you should act. Just be your normal self.”

Charlotte visibly let out a sigh of relief. “If Astrid said so, then I shall believe it.”

Astrid just chuckled in amusement because of the other’s reaction.
