"THE reaction to your surprise appearances at the viewing parties has been incredibly positive," Ellis said, scrolling through posts and comments about Astrid and [Serendipitous Summer] on [Cyberspace]. "Most people are saying they've never seen an actor put this much effort into fan service before."
Of course, there were a few negative comments too—people claiming Astrid was trying too hard or cheapening his image—but they were far outnumbered by the positive ones. Ellis didn't pay them much mind. In her opinion, an actor who genuinely cared about their fans was always better off. After all, no actor could succeed without fan support. Showing gratitude mattered.
These days, that mindset wasn't as common anymore. But she was glad the artist she'd chosen when returning to the industry understood its value. That kind of respect would carry Astrid far.
