Love in the Limelight

Chapter 367
In all honesty, when Maddox got a call from Astrid, he kinda had a hunch about what she was planning to deal with the online
backlash.
But let’s be real, a live outdoor reality show ain’t exactly a walk in the park.
Maddox took a moment, then said, serious as a heart attack, “Astrid, our next shoot’s on an island, where doing a live show
might be tricky. First, we might have iffy signals. Second, it’s gonna cost more. Plus, you never know what can happen on a live
show.”
“Hold your horses, director. Let me finish,” Astrid paused for a bit, then said, cool as a cucumber, “I can set up a base station on
the island to make sure we have stable signals.”
“Also, I’ll arrange for generators.”
“Lastly, about the cost, I’ll take care of it. The crew doesn’t need to sweat it.”
After hearing Astrid’s promises, Maddox was kinda pumped up.
After all, the appeal of reality shows is in their authenticity. If they could do it live, it would be a lot better than pre–recorded!
Maddox said, “Setting up a base station, getting generators, that’s gonna cost a pretty penny. Did Morgenster Corporation agree
to foot the bill?”
Astrid answered, “No need, I’ve got the dough. Director, you just need to switch to live streaming and make a public
announcement. The rest is on me.” Maddox was flabbergasted.
This is small change to her?
What’s the price tag on streaming live from an island for seven days?!.
But since Astrid was so confident, he had no reason to say no. So he agreed, “Alright, you’ve got a deal.”
“Thank you, director.” Astrid hung up the phone, feeling pretty good about herself.
Let trolls keep yapping.

keep y:
The more they diss now, the sillier they’ll look later.
The next morning, Adventures in the Abyss’s official Twitter dropped a bombshell, “To give you a more authentic adventure
experience, we’re switching from pre–recorded to live streaming, and extending the adventure from seven to ten days. Due to
scheduling conflicts with several guests, the next episode will be postponed to January 15. We’ll be live–streaming non–stop for
ten days on a deserted island. See you there.”
The internet was shook.
“Live streaming? Holy moly, the show must be loaded! Outdoors reality show is doing live streaming? Are they gonna hang
cameras on every tree on the island?” “So intense!!!”
“Hats off to Mr. Maddox, he’s got the guts to throw the guests on an island for ten days, no one else in the country would dare!”
“Did they change the airing time to accommodate Astrid’s schedule? My goodness, she’s got mad influence!”
“Can we not spread rumors? Odell’s wrapping up filming in early January, so is Clyde, Astar’s drama ends on January 10. If they
really adjusted for scheduling, it would be for Joana’s schedule on January 13!”
“Wow, I have a feeling this live stream is to boost Astrid’s image. She must’ve made some deal with the director beforehand.
Can’t wait to see what amazing skills she’ll show off during the live stream!”
“Can the haters stop being so jealous? Astar’s got mad skills, y’all better worry about your own idols embarrassing themselves
on live TV!”
While fans from all sides were busy arguing, Astrid tweeted, “Enough with the noise, people. See you on January 15, Astar’s
gonna conquer the island with you!” “OMG! Astar actually tweeted!”
