The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

Chapter 556: AND THE AWARD GOES TO...



NO need to wonder, because Wulfric was not only watching the livestream, he had already taken over a hundred screenshot of Astrid as he was walking on the red carpet. Of course, as he did that, he cut out the people who happened to be accidentally included in the photos while he was taking the screenshots.

While he was waiting for the award show to start, he saved all the screenshots he took on a folder and named it [Aster’s First Award Show]. He had other folders like this one. All were arranged alphabetically.

All these folders were saved in what he called the ‘Aster Vault’. It contained photos and videos of Aster. From the shows and the movie he appeared in, to his commercials and advertisements. Whenever he missed Aster, he would just open this digital vault. He would open a photo or a video, then glanced at it while he was working.

It might sound weird, but his work speed increased by tenfold whenever he did that.

One might say that he’s almost like a stalker, or maybe a crazy fan, with the way he’s behaving. But Wulfric didn’t see it that way. For him, this was just him being in love.

As he was browsing through the red carpet photos he took, he felt disappointed that he hadn’t managed to take more. Like a hundred wasn’t enough. But he cheered up quickly. Once the award show started, he would take more.

But what Wulfric didn’t expect was that once the award show began, the camera barely captured Aster! They only focused on the people nominated for the categories being awarded.

The set of awards that were given first were all technical awards. Like for cinematography, film editing, production design, etc., etc. He didn’t really care for any of them. After all, he was only watching this award show because of Aster.

The only time he saw Aster was when [The Sleeping God] won Best Cinematography. And it was barely a glimpse!

He wasn’t certain if these shows had a director, but if they did, that person wasn’t making smart decisions. If they did, they would have captured Aster on camera as many times as possible. Then their viewership would have skyrocketed. After all, everyone would enjoy watching someone as beautiful as Aster. This was definitely not him being biased or anything.

Amidst the annoyance he felt for not seeing Aster as often as he thought, the one award he had been waiting for finally arrived.

It’s now time for the Rookie of the Year Award!

———-

“Now it’s time to award the actor or actress who made the best performance in their first film appearance!” the male emcee, who was a famous TV show host, said. “Please welcome our presenter.”

When he heard that, Astrid felt his heart jumped. Which surprised him. He thought he was already past the stage of nervousness. Considering that he had attended a lot of award shows in his past life. But he guessed the first award show in this life had a different effect on him more than he imagined.

The emcee had already slid to the side to give way to the presenter – the last year’s winner of Rookie of the Year Award. A handsome man wearing a classic black tuxedo.

“Ladies and gentlemen, every year, the world of cinema welcomes new talents, and tonight, we have the honor of celebrating exceptional promise in the film industry. The category we’re about to delve into recognizes outstanding achievements by a newcomer, a rising star who has left an indelible mark on the screen. This is the moment we acknowledge the Rookie of the Year.

These individuals bring a fresh perspective, creativity, and unparalleled dedication to their craft. So, without further ado, let’s unveil the name of the cinematic trailblazer who has earned the title of Rookie of the Year.”

Then the presenter started to call the nominees for the Rookie of the Year category. Every time a name was called, they would appear on one of the virtual screen and on the other virtual screen, a snippet of their scene on the movie they were nominated for appeared. And each time, the audience in the hall applauded.

Astrid was the fourth one to be called. When his name was called, he showed a brilliant smile on the camera. This smile caused a slight lag in reaction from the audience. Clapping in such situations should have been automatic. But that lag of five seconds showed just how surprise the audience was with that smile.

Even the presenter was momentarily stunned. But being an actor, he quickly came back to his senses and called the name of the last nominee. After all the nominees were called, it was finally time to announce the winner.

“And the Rookie of the Year goes to…”

The presenter opened the gilded envelope he was holding. Most award shows usually used paper at times like this. Since paper was a kind of rare commodity, the winners would also receive the envelope along with the trophy.

“Astrid Townsend! Congratulations!”

This time, there was no delay. Everyone in the audience clapped.

Even though Astrid wasn’t really expecting anything, this still surprised him. And then, after the surprise, happiness quickly filled his heart.

As soon as he stood up, Lauren on his left hugged him happily. “Congtratulations, Aster!”

Miria on his right also gave him a quick hug, congratulating him. Sienna also did the same. Even though he’s not close with Stephen Tomlinson, the other still stood up and congratulated him. Director Trevane also had a big smile on his face.

Astrid thanked everyone before walking towards the stage. Every step he took felt like he was walking on cloud nine. When he arrived at the center of the stage, the presenter gave him the trophy, as well as the envelope, congratulating him throughout the process. He thanked him before looking at his trophy.

It was a crystal trophy in the shape of a crescent moon. His name was written on the base of the trophy. It was only then that it registered that he really won.

He took a deep breath and then walked towards the mic. His heart was still pounding, but his mind was unexpectedly clear. He looked at the camera and started his speech. Sёarᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
