My Idol System: An Idol, But Also A Savior-Chapter 170: Joshua Hates Horror

[Lock! Lock what, what are you locking exactly?! Can this company be a little more forthcoming? You’re seriously going to make me curious to death!]

[Go ahead and stay curious hahahaha, then buy ten albums when the time comes]

[Sounds rich]

[I’ve got money, ShineOn hurry up and drop the next content already, damn it!]

[Hahaha]

[Charge forward, charge forward, charge forward!]

[I think I know what I want now, I hope everything turns out the way I’m imagining]

[I’m honestly only looking forward to the choreography this time. Last time Joshua and Justin had a dual dance, I want him and Luther this time]

[Yeh, those two really live in my heart]

[My beloved best-friend duo]

"Joshua, this is the script for the upcoming audition. Take a look at it first. When the time comes, just do your best. You’re not a professional anyway, treat it as a trial run."

Elly handed Joshua a stack of short scripts. It was nothing other than the script for Lance’s film that was about to start shooting.

He had genuinely sent an invitation to Joshua, despite the fact that Joshua had never had any acting experience before.

Joshua took the script from Elly and said softly, "I’ll do my best."

Even though he had received rewards from the system, and had also been practicing on his own recently, he was still somewhat nervous. After all, self-practice was not the same as being professional.

Nine always said that he was already very good, but Joshua was not entirely sure.

Elly looked at Joshua and said gently, "Lance seems to like you quite a lot... Joshua, no matter what, you don’t need to be afraid of anyone forcing you. The company will always stand behind you."

Joshua raised his head to look at Elly and smiled. "I know. Besides, Lance isn’t a bad person either."

Seeing Joshua’s bright, smiling face, Elly could not help but raise her hand and gently rub his head. She said softly, "To you, who would ever be a bad person?"

Luther, who was listening nearby, immediately cut in, "Sister Elly is right. Joshua, if anything happens, you can always come back and cry to me."

Joshua could not help rolling his eyes. "No one can bully me."

It felt just like his family. They were always worried that he might be bullied, but Joshua clearly was not that easy to push around.

Still, he did not dislike this feeling.

He knew they worried because they cared about him.

Seeing the smile at the corner of Joshua’s lips, Luther could not resist pinching his cheek. "What’s there to be so happy about?"

"I’m happy because I get to see everyone."

Joshua looked at Luther and, this time, did not bother arguing about having his cheek suddenly pinched.

Luther pressed his lips together and snorted lightly. "Stop acting cute."

Joshua really wanted to bite Luther.

The official account had already dropped hints about the comeback. ShineOn was extremely busy. They were currently in the rehearsal phase, preparing everything for the MV shoot.

Outside, countless rumors were flying around.

Topic: A rising idol has been invited to a famous film crew again. Can anyone guess who it is?

[Please, famous film crews don’t cast rising idols]

[I heard Lance is about to start filming]

[My beloved director!]

[If it’s Lance’s film, then even if it’s a rising idol, that idol must definitely have acting ability]

[Agreed]

[I’ve heard a lot of insider talk. This role has to be someone young with a fresh vibe. Both idols and young actors are being considered]

[Come on, if there are actors available, no one would pick an idol]

[There are plenty of idols who transition into acting. Please drop the prejudice]

[Camping for updates. With news this vague, who could possibly guess]

Of course, even more sensational was the final piece of news. Luis, one of the most outstanding actors in the industry and widely regarded as a box office guarantee, had finally left his former company.

[Celebration time, that trash company finally couldn’t suppress my guy anymore!]

[Damn it, that contract negotiation period was pure hell. Mas really plays dirty]

[I was actually surprised it ended this smoothly. Anyway, congratulations to Luis]

[I still don’t get it. Atius is such a huge corporation, yet they’re this petty]

[Alright, everyone’s been through a lot. Let’s celebrate]

[Luis is doing a fan livestream right now, hurry up everyone!]

Shouts and calls rang out nonstop. The moment Luis’s livestream room opened, it was instantly flooded with viewers.

He was a famous actor. Even setting aside his national-level popularity, just his handsome face alone was enough to attract a massive number of fans. People were drawn in and stayed because of his talent.

As a result, Luis’s loyal fanbase was second to none.

On screen, Luis was dressed casually, as if he were at home, though the room itself was designed like a meeting room.

He smiled at the camera, immediately setting off a wave of screaming in the comments.

"Hello everyone. It’s been a long time since I’ve chatted with you like this."

"A new project? Of course it’s ready. You can look forward to it."

The comments instantly went wild, spamming Lance’s name. Everyone knew that Lance and Luis had a close working relationship. Luis had a new project, and at the same time, Lance’s film was coincidentally in its final casting stage. It was hard not to connect the dots.

But whether the guesses were right or wrong, Luis was obviously not going to reveal anything yet.

He raised his index finger to his lips, making a gesture for secrecy.

"Today is mainly about work. As for the contract with my former company, ah, it’s all settled now. Thank you to everyone who stayed and supported me all this time. And of course, I hope you’ll continue to walk with me in the future."

After a brief pause, he continued, "There’s a friend who helped me a great deal during this process. Without him, things probably wouldn’t have gone this smoothly."

"As for who it is, I can’t say right now, haha."

[This feels like we’re about to get a sister-in-law]

["A friend," huh...]

[Hahaha, you guys are really something]

After talking for a while, Luis had to end the livestream. It lasted less than thirty minutes, yet an overwhelming amount of information was immediately confirmed.

Naturally, even more people fixated on the "friend" Luis had mentioned. After all, Luis was extremely private about his personal life. Aside from knowing he had business ties with Lance, almost everything else about him revolved around filming, endorsements, and rest.

Topic: Look at the way Luis talks about him. Just who exactly is this "friend" he mentioned with such fondness?!!!

[From the way he spoke, it feels like this friend is pretty young]

[Definitely younger than Luis]

[Maybe a newly debuted actor]

[Stop guessing, even if we guess, we won’t be right]

[Hahahahaha]

No matter how noisy the internet became, at this moment, Joshua had already arrived at the waiting area for the screen test of Lance’s new film.

The movie had been in preparation since last year. Even before filming began, there were already countless speculations about how many awards it might win.

[Dream]

It was only after opening the script that Joshua realized it was a horror film.

What a coincidence.

He hated horror.
