Chapter 546: THE EVER PROTECTIVE FAN
ASTRID was watching on the side as Snow filmed his ‘death’ scene. It was the scene where his character, Danny, met his unfortunate demise.
It’s started like any ordinary day. The 10-year-old Abby was throwing a tantrum because her mother wouldn’t allow her to go to the beach. She said there’s an earthquake warning and everyone was advised to stay indoors. But she really had to finish her painting. The weather was so good, how could an earthquake happen? This was a perfect weather to finish her painting.
Abby could only stomp her feet and pout. There’s been a lot of earthquakes warning before, and yet none of them really caused any damage. So, in Abby’s young mind, earthquake warning was not really dangerous.
But no matter how much she sulked, her mother wasn’t moved and still didn’t allow her to leave. So, she could only hide in her room and cry. But not long after, her older brother knocked on the door of her room and told her he could take her to the beach for a few minutes. But after that, they should return and she should stop crying.
With that, one could already imagine what had happened next.
The earthquake happened, and a very strong at that. Since this was an island in the middle of the sea, the earthquake caused a huge tsunami that hit the coastal town. As the siblings were on the beach when it happened, they were, of course, the first one to be hit by the waves.
The scene being filmed right now depicted how Danny protected Abby throughout the tsunami and how it became the biggest shackle in the latter’s life.
As the filming started, they changed the weather of the island to something resembling a storm. It’s one of the advantages of filming on a filming studio planet. A lot of things, including the weather, could be controlled. The only thing beyond control was night and day. That’s something involving the whole planet.
Unless a film had an enormous budget and could rent a whole filming studio planet, then yes, there wouldn’t be any problem to have that adjusted. But that hardly ever happened. Because it would only be a big waste of money.
Since the current weather was almost like a storm, there were a lot of tents put up around the filming site to protect the staffs. Astrid was also in one of these tents. Charlotte was also with him. They were the only actors who decided to watch this filming.
The environment for this shooting was very uncomfortable for observing scenes. Even Ellis and Charlotte’s manager decided to opt out and stayed at the hotel. But Astrid chose to stay and observe. Not only for learning purposes, but also for additional support to Snow. After all, this scene was very physically demanding.
Knowing that one person was there to support him could be reassuring and boost his confidence. And Astrid was not alone. Charlotte was also here.
After their first filming the other day, the two somehow started to get along. Which was good. With them getting along, their rapport became better and there were much fewer mistakes during filming their scenes together. That’s why in just three days, Snow was able to finish all his scenes.
Astrid stared at the virtual screen that was monitoring the scene. Watching Snow readying himself to go into the sea once again.
“Fighting, Snow.”

After Snow filmed his last scene, he went back to the capital the day after. Astrid felt that it would have been better if he could continue to stay.
Actually, from what Snow had told him, he did plan to stay for a few more days since the leave he took from school was one week. But his agent managed to get him a TV show gig, so he had to return to the capital after he’s done filming here.
Now it’s already been four days since the other left. Filming continued on the island. They had already shot the majority of the film. In a week or so, they would be mostly done.
Since this movie didn’t really need that much of a special effects, post-production would probably last for a month. Marketing and promotion would be next. With that, the movie would probably be released in two months.
Yes, that’s a bit fast. But that’s just the normal speed of film production in this era. With technology so advance, it’s only natural. That’s why the number of movies being released in a year had also increased by a thousandth fold compared to his past life.
After another tiring and fulfilling day, Astrid went back to his hotel room. He decided to just call on room service since he really wanted to quickly take a shower.
Feeling refreshed after a quick shower, he changed into comfortable pajamas before calling room service. As he was waiting for his dinner, he decided to browse [Cyberspace].
Surprisingly enough, he saw some comments mentioning him. And not even on a positive note.
Since it’s awards seasons, many had been speculating if he would be nominated in any important award giving bodies. This discourse started because of his high rank in the recently released [Star List]. Many said that if he didn’t get nominated in one of the more important award shows, then what’s the use of his ranking?
Which was a very stupid train of logic, in his opinion.
[@astridsnumber1fan: Are you people truly stupid? There are only three awards that you people consider ‘important’, and Aster only has a chance of being nominated in one. And that for a movie where his screentime didn’t even last 10 minutes. With those odds, you lot are really planning to mock him if he’s not nominated? Sigh.
As time passed, you people only continue to prove just how brainless you all are.]
Astrid stopped for a moment reading that, and then he just burst out laughing. Ah, really. His number one fan was truly the most adorable fan in the whole Empire.
Thinking of Wulfric, he immediately sent a video call request to the other.
