The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era Chapter 307

Chapter 307

ASTRID was being helped by a stylist to put on his costume. As ‘Luan Escanor’, he had two sets of clothes – the cardinal robe and the pope robe. Since his role was that of a priest, having lavish sets of clothing was simply unrealistic. Especially considering the kind of character Luan Escanor had.
The first set of clothing he tried was the cardinal robe. He was already done with the make-up. They even put hair extensions on him. So, now, his hair reached his waist. He had done quite the number of costume drama in his past life, so he didn’t feel that awkward having hair extensions.
After this, he had to take make-up photos that would be use as a poster for promotion. This would be the first time that he would take a make-up photo in this life. His role in [The Sleeping God] could be said to be a glorified extra. While in [Blind Justice], he was simply a special guest. He didn’t need make-up photos for both. So, he couldn’t help but be a bit excited.
A few minutes later, the stylist was finally done dressing him up.
“Wow. This look really suits you,” the stylist said while admiring her work.
She really wanted to take a picture of the teenager but she held herself back. But she knew that if the picture she took accidentally got leaked online, then Director Scott would definitely blow a fuse. Getting fired would be the least of her worries. In the worst-case scenario, she might be banned from the industry because of being unprofessional.
That’s not entirely an exaggeration. After all, this was Director Scott’s comeback work after three years of hiatus. He would definitely be keeping an eye on everything. She wouldn’t risk her career just because she couldn’t stop herself from taking a picture.
“Thank you,” Astrid said with a smile.
The stylist’s determination almost crumbled because of that smile. Ah, how could this kid be this beautiful? She shook her head and simply opened the door of the fitting room before she was thoroughly ‘seduced’ by this kid.
Astrid followed the stylist out of the fitting room. It just so happened that the fitting room next to them also opened and Yujin walked out.
The two of them shared the same dressing room. It had two fitting rooms. So, it was no trouble changing into their costumes at the same time.
Yujin glanced at Astrid and was slightly stunned when he saw the other. Astrid was wearing a white robe with delicate silver embroidery at the hem of the sleeves as well as the collar. He was also wearing a pendant of a sun inside a wheel – the symbol of the Church of Jaya, the main religion in [The Great War].
Since they were sharing a dressing room, he had already seen the other with the long hair and make-up. But when added with the costume, Astrid actually gave off a kind of holy temperament. He wasn’t sure if the other was doing it on purpose, but the fact alone that he seemed like a real priest already said a lot.
“You look exactly like how I imagined Luan Escanor to be,” he said.
Astrid smiled. “Thank you. You also look like the playboy prince, Oscar Ashelad.”
And he wasn’t just doing that as a lip-service because of the other’s compliment.
Yujin right now was wearing a white, loose long-sleeved top with a wide collar, showing an expanse of his chest. Over that was an unbuttoned black vest and also a black belt. That was paired by black pants that fit his long legs perfectly and a pair of black boots.
His long black hair was styled in a messy curl, yet it still looked sexy for some reason. He was even wearing golden hoops as earrings. Yujin right now truly looked like someone who would flirt with anything with legs.
This was the exact image that Astrid had of Oscar Ashelad – the role the other was playing. He was one of the many princes of the Kingdom of Ashelad, meaning that he’s one of Luan Escanor’s half-brothers.
At first, Oscar seemed to be just your typical playboy prince who didn’t care about the succession rights and just drowned himself in booze and women. But that was not all there was to his character. He acted as a spy for the protagonist. Most of the reasons behind the success of Caesar’s campaign against Ashelad was Oscar.
He provided a lot of important information to Caesar. A lot of Caesar’s strategy also came from him. Sadly though, he didn’t meet such a great end. Just after Caesar conquered Ashelad, he died. He saved Caesar from an assassination attempt and lost his life in the process. One could say that his death was one of the factors that started Caesar’s downward spiral.
It’s a good role. Not too complex but could definitely be a fan favorite once played right.
Astrid had seen when of Yujin’s past work when he found out that the other was going to be a part of [The Great War]. And he must say that he’s definitely good for a newcomer. Although still a bit green, one couldn’t deny his talent. Astrid did the same for the rest of the cast, watching their most famous work and he was really satisfied by their acting skills.
This showed just how thorough Director Scott was in choosing the cast members of this series. Which meant that the other was determined to make this series a success. And if everything went well, then it would definitely be.
There was a knock on the door, cutting of Astrid’s train of thoughts. Ellis opened it. The one who knocked was one of the staff. Seeing him and Yujin standing side by side, the staff was stunned for a second. But that didn’t last and he immediately said;
“If you’re ready, come and follow me so we could take your make-up photos.”
The two of them nodded and followed the other.
