Chapter 384 The Longest Novel

Seeing Wang Min and the others' wild imaginations, Chen Yu laughed and said, "Don't think too much about it. There's still a long time before the end of the update for 'Swallowed Star.' The entire novel is 1200 million words long."

"Are you sure you're not kidding us? 1200 million words? It seems the longest novel in the world is Balzac's collection of short stories, 'The Human Comedy,' but that's a collection of short stories, and it's only a little over 1000 million words. It seems to be less than 1200 million words!" Wang Min said in surprise.

"What's so strange about that? It's just 1200 million words. The book is already finished. It's just been updated slowly. Alright, let's continue. Quite a few people auditioned today!" Chen Yu didn't intend to dwell on this matter any longer and said softly.

"Uh~" Upon hearing this, Hu Gong and the others were stunned. It's finished?! They all thought Chen Yu had been writing all along, but they didn't expect that he had already finished it.

I was going to ask to see it beforehand, but seeing that Chen Yu clearly didn't want to discuss the topic further, I swallowed the words that were on the tip of my tongue.

The group then continued with the auditions.

Crazy Entertainment had over 20 people audition, but only one person passed the audition. That person was the top student Zhanbo!

Introverted, taciturn, innocent, kind-hearted, and a web programmer—that's the character setting for Zhanbo in "iPartment." He's a genius young man with high IQ but low EQ, often dealing with Transformers and advanced scientific knowledge. He's not good at talking and is extremely shy and bashful around girls. This reflects Zhanbo's personality.

This person is also an IT enthusiast, somewhat introverted and simple. He originally did not plan to study acting, but could not resist his parents' demands and finally chose acting as his major, but he spends most of his time tinkering with computer programming.

Chen Yu was very curious about how Liang Siwen came up with the idea of ​​signing such a person.

But none of that matters now, because this character is perfect for playing Zhanbo, just like that scoundrel Chen Chichi played Zeng Xiaoxian—a natural performance!

"It seems we'll have to hire from the community! Everyone, get your things ready. We should be able to start filming in two weeks. All staff are being coordinated," Chen Yu said softly.

"Not even until all the actors are gathered?!" Wang Min said.

"Of course we have to wait. What I mean is, you guys get ready for filming. We'll be working late tonight to review the videos. I'll also use my connections to find some people to review them. Let's all work together to get the actors together as soon as possible!"

"No problem!" Upon hearing this, Wang Min and the others didn't say anything more. They guessed that Chen Yu had probably already found the person he wanted, but just hadn't said it for some reason!

Of course, this is just their speculation.

And in a girls' dormitory at the Shanghai Opera House.

"Yixiao, do you think we have a chance of being selected?! So many people are participating, including those of us who are already famous!"

"Huihui, how will you know if it's possible if you don't try?! Do you still remember Senior Chen Chichi?!"

"I remember, he was such a jerk, what happened?!"

"He called me and said that he originally wanted to recommend me for the role of Hu Yifei, but due to some issues, he was now recruiting from the community, so we had to go through the formalities!"

"If he can pass the video test, then he can talk to Chen Yu more!" Yi Xiao said.

"Really?!" Huihui was surprised at first, then said somewhat dejectedly, "But with so many people participating, there must be inside deals. Some companies will use certain incentives to get famous and experienced artists to perform!"

"You're overthinking it. Do you think the Crown Prince would care about that?! According to Senior, Chen Yu doesn't care about background when choosing roles, he only cares about suitability! Senior Su Ying has a good relationship with Chen Yu and the Crown Princess, but she still wasn't qualified to enter. Even the Crown Princess's words don't have much effect. The key is whether it's suitable or not."

Besides, if we try, we won't have any regrets; if we don't try, we really won't have any chance at all!

"That's true, but according to Crazy Entertainment, they only have a few days. Can they handle that many videos?!"

"I don't know?! Let's not worry about it too much, let's just give it a try! If it doesn't work, so be it; if it does, then we've made a profit. Anyway, the video is already filmed, so let's not overthink it and just upload it!"

"OK then!"

The video upload deadline was 8 PM. Chen Yu left 3000 videos for Hu Gong, Wang Min, and others, while he processed the remaining 190,000+ videos through the system.

The system was incredibly fast, resolving everything in just over ten seconds. And each video was explained.

Ultimately, 15 players were selected for each role in the competition!

After glancing at the time, Chen Yu continued to study the filming techniques and camera work of "iPartment".

Although no filming has started yet and all the research is just theoretical, Chen Yu insists that theoretical research is also a form of learning.

Hu and his colleagues also received the information and were overwhelmed to see that each of them was assigned nearly 1000 videos, but they still started working.

There was no other way, time was of the essence.

Meanwhile, 20 young men and women across the country were on edge, praying that their videos would pass the review and win the favor of the panel. This would give them an audition opportunity, a chance to leap over the dragon gate (a metaphor for a promising career).

For two consecutive days, and on the morning of the third day at 8:00 AM, the list of participants selected by Crazy Entertainment Bar was officially published on the official website.

When Hu Gong, Wang Min, and others met Chen Yu, they discovered that what they thought were 3000 videos were actually only a small fraction, less than one-fiftieth.

Chen Yu single-handedly handled 19 videos and completed them in just over two days, which surprised them greatly.

I was speechless when I saw that the works reviewed by Chen Yu all had reviewer quotes and tags.

This is absolutely beyond human capability. To accomplish so much in just two days is simply unimaginable by common sense.

"After more than two days of hard work, we have finally finished reviewing and processing all the videos shot by people who expressed interest in auditioning. They have now been uploaded to the video platform. You can search for your upload number to find your video."

Also, don't be discouraged if you don't pass the review; there will be another chance next time.

Those who have already made it to the audition stage shouldn't get too excited yet, because this time it's a 20-to-1 selection, meaning that out of these roles, 20 people will be chosen, but only one will be selected in the end. See you at Crazy Entertainment in three days! Chen Yu posted this on his Crazy Entertainment Weibo account.
