Although Chen Yu was preparing his crosstalk performance for the finals, it did not affect the filming progress of "iPartment".

As time progressed, Chen Yu made plans according to the schedule. Since the competition didn't require much time, he decided to arrive two hours early.

Filming proceeded as scheduled that afternoon. By 3 p.m., all the main scenes had been filmed. Chen Yu then gave instructions to Hu Gong, Wang Min, and others before driving to the final competition venue.

Of course, Huang Lei had already arrived by then.

"You've finally arrived! You have no idea how many times the director has come here!" Huang Lei couldn't help but complain when he saw Chen Yu arrive.

"What?! Are you afraid I won't participate in the finals?!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"Of course! You have no idea you're the absolute headliner of the sketch comedy competition. Without you, this competition would be several times less significant," Huang Lei nodded and said.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say, let's go in! Is everything ready, right?!" Chen Yu said with a light laugh. But secretly, he felt a little smug.

"Everything is ready. This time we're keeping it simple; two robes will be enough!"

Huang Lei smiled gently.

Chen Yu responded with a slight smile.

Soon, Wang Fengge arrived; it's likely that the staff relayed his arrival to him immediately.

"Director Wang, I feel embarrassed by your words!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"Don't be shy, I know you're very busy right now. Your upcoming show, 'iPartment,' is generating a lot of buzz even before it airs! It's a highly anticipated show. We're all really looking forward to it! By the way, how's the progress so far? When can we expect to see it?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"It will be at least mid-December, because I have basically chosen to use the original voice for all the dubbing this time. In addition, if it is not suitable, I will start dubbing after filming a segment."

As for editing, I'm already editing it. I estimate that the editing will be almost finished by the time filming is complete.

Chen Yu smiled gently.

"So fast?!" Wang Fengge had thought it wouldn't be until 2008 at the earliest, but he hadn't expected it to be released before the new year. However, such a hastily produced product raises concerns about its quality!

"It's mainly because I'm confident in every shot. I know where it should be, so I don't need to wait until all the filming is finished before editing. Plus, with the help of some tools I have, quality isn't an issue," Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

He naturally understood Wang Fengge's concerns.

"Oh?! That's quite good!" Wang Fengge's worries lessened considerably after Chen Yu said that. Chen Yu's extraordinary talent was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Since Chen Yu had said so, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"By the way, CCTV asked me to ask you, do you have a buyer for this drama yet?!" Wang Fengge paused and said.

"Not yet, it's not finished filming yet!"

“You’re not in a hurry, so how about it? Are you willing to sell to CCTV?!” Wang Fengge said with a smile.

“Selling it to CCTV is not a problem as long as the price is right, but I estimate that CCTV will not be willing to part with it because my price will not be low!” Chen Yu said with a light smile.

He knew that many people were eyeing this "iPartment" show. Although he didn't know the specifics, just based on its current popularity, it must be a good show, definitely better than anything before.

Several television station executives have contacted Liang Siwen, but Liang Siwen has not made any promises and has pushed all the issues onto Chen Yu.

“Okay, so how much is it?” Wang Fengge asked.

"Can you make that decision?! Many TV stations have already contacted me, and I haven't given them a quote yet. But since you asked, I'd like to know what CCTV's offer is!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"I don't know the exact amount, but it seems to be 800 million per episode!" Wang Fengge said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu immediately shook his head. Not to mention that Hunan TV had offered 1200 million yuan just for the first broadcast rights, but he had not agreed.

He naturally wouldn't agree to CCTV's offer of 800 million.

"I'm telling you, you can ask around about the price offered by Hunan TV. I didn't even agree to that price!" Chen Yu said with a light smile.

"How much?!" Wang Fengge asked curiously.

Chen Yu was not satisfied with the exorbitant price of 800 million yuan per episode, and it seemed that some TV stations were offering even higher prices, and by a considerable amount!

“Every TV station that comes to me is worth at least this much!” Chen Yu said, holding up one finger.

"Ten million?!" Wang Fengge couldn't help but gasp. This guy is too rich! He really doesn't treat money like money.

“My drama is absolutely worth the price, and I’ll only be cheated once. Do you think I would ruin my own reputation?! Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. If CCTV really has an idea, they should send professionals to talk to us. All this talk is just nonsense!” Chen Yu said with a light laugh.

They indicated they did not wish to continue discussing this issue.

Wang Fengge understood as well.

They then started talking about the finals.

"We're broadcasting the finals live this time. All the other groups have already finished their rehearsals, don't you need to watch them?!"

"We can skip the rehearsal, but we need ten minutes to familiarize ourselves with the stage. We need to clear the area during this time, as you know our performance is a crosstalk routine, which is easily leaked," Chen Yu said after thinking for a moment.

It wasn't that he didn't want to rehearse, but he felt that this rehearsal would deplete his energy and spirit, making it impossible for him to reach his peak performance, which was not what Chen Yu wanted.

Huang Lei was naturally aware of Chen Yu's concerns.

Chen Yu had discussed this matter with him from the beginning, and Huang Lei agreed to it.

If rehearsals deplete a person's energy and spirit, it could be quite significant, ultimately failing to achieve the desired effect.

Moreover, the two rehearsed more than ten times and their coordination was quite good. Both he and Chen Yu had good reaction speeds, no worse than those of ordinary professional crosstalk actors.

“Alright, your time will be in twenty minutes. I’ll clear the area! Someone will call you then!” Wang Fengge nodded, agreeing to Chen Yu’s request and explanation.

Some people feel more at ease after one rehearsal, while others are very confident. They each have their own unique style when it comes to these things, and Chen Yu is probably one of them!

"Thank you!"

Less than twenty minutes later, the staff came to call.

As expected, the scene was basically cleared out.

Chen Yu and Huang Lei walked onto the stage.

"This stage is really different. They must have gone all out this time!" Chen Yu said to Huang Lei with a smile as he stepped onto the final stage.

“Indeed, this stage seems somewhat similar to the Spring Festival Gala stage, doesn’t it?” Huang Lei said, as if he had just thought of something.
