Polaris issued a statement in the middle of the night a week after [Star List] was released. And a few minutes later, ESRA's official account reposted it with the caption - [Congratulation, Mr. Astrid Townsend! We, at ESRA, are looking forward to your brilliant future.]
It didn't even take an hour before that entered the trending topic list. Astrid's fans were in an uproar after that.
[Wow, Polaris finally woke up. I thought they will never post anything to defend Aster.]
The shooting location would be at FS11. It was a filming studio planet known for its many islands. Some islands had built in villages, some had towns and cities. Basically, if one wanted to film on an island, this film studio planet would be their go-to.
Astrid and Ellis left the capital just after breakfast. Which was pretty early, considering their call time was still in the afternoon. But they both wanted to get used to the island first.
After all, they would be spending at least a month there to film the movie. It's better to familiarize themselves first. Especially since they heard that the hotel they would be staying in was also on the island. The place also had all the important amenities. Which meant that they wouldn't be leaving the island for a month.
Astrid read the messages on their friend group chat that he wasn't able to check earlier. Originally, it was only him, Kiran, and Snow. But after that celebration dinner, the two finally got close to Lauren, and they added him in.
Kiran: [Aster, you'll be gone for a month, right? I'll miss you! Please don't forget me! *crying sticker*]
Snow: ?
Lauren: [Are you filming the new movie? Snow is also part of that movie, right? Do you think it would be alright if I appear as a cameo?]
Astrid chuckled after. If the names of the three weren't written there, he could still tell who's who. He replied and then closed his Terminal since they were already nearing their destination.
As if on cue, he heard Ellis say;
"We're here."
He looked out of the window and the first thing he saw was a wide expanse of sea. They finally arrived at FS11.
