Lu Chen: The Mad Genius Of Creativity-Chapter 51

Chapter 51

Another ten minutes passed, the judges returned.

“Still asleep!”

Yan Geling was completely dumbfounded.

“Is he wrestling with himself?”

“Maybe… After setting such a high bar with Operation Icebreaking, he probably wants to surpass himself and write an even better story.”

Shu Ping also sensed that something was off with Lu Chen’s state. Yan Geling’s eyes filled with concern.

“If that’s his mindset, then he’s in trouble!”

His words made even Liu Heping take a deep breath. For the first time, a trace of worry flickered in his eyes.

Director Hong Tao was dripping with sweat.

This brat… what the hell is he doing?

So many people are waiting!

Did he actually fall asleep?

Just as Hong Tao was considering sending someone in to wake Lu Chen up—A loud chime echoed.

The first hour was over!

Lu Chen had actually slept for an entire hour!

Xiao Sa picked up the remote to make the hourly announcement.

“Attention, contestants! One hour has passed! Please stay on track with your progress!”

“Boss, bidding has started. Should we go for it?” Director Qin asked.

Yang Mi was on the verge of tears. Buying clothes online at least came with photos. How were they supposed to make a multi-million-dollar bid when not a single word had been written?

Just as Yang Mi hesitated—suddenly, in the livestream, a bidding token appeared—dominating the entire screen!

“Someone placed a bid! It’s Noon Sun Productions! And it’s a top-tier bid!”

Director Qin was stunned.

“Boss! What do we do?”

Yang Mi didn’t hesitate anymore. She slammed her hand on the conference table.

“Top-tier bid! Do it!”

“Understood!”

The Jiaxing Media bidding token flashed across the screen!

And almost simultaneously—

iQIYI!

Huanyu Entertainment!

Youku!

All dropped into the livestream!

Within seconds, all five priority slots were completely taken!

The Livestream Exploded!

【Holy shit! What the hell?! He hasn’t even written a word, and film companies are fighting over him!】

【Is this the power of Lu Chen? Absolutely terrifying!】

【This is insane!】

Just as the judges were about to leave again— They saw the bidding war unfold. All of them froze in shock. Even Chen Sicheng’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“They’ve gone insane! Bidding for this!”

Shu Ping and Yan Geling were at a loss.

“Looks like Lu Chen really has a golden name now!”

“After the success of Breaking the Ice, it’s no wonder film companies don’t want to miss out. I’m actually a little envious of him.”

Xiao Sa’s jaw almost hit the floor.

“No way… He broke another record! A single word hasn’t been written, and five companies are already bidding top-tier?”

“Xiao Sa, I think we should send someone to wake him up. This can’t go on!”

Shu Ping was starting to panic.

“Alright, I’ll handle it.”

Xiao Sa reached for his walkie-talkie.

Just as he was about to speak.

“Wait. No need. He’s waking up!”

Liu Heping’s voice interrupted.

Everyone looked up.

Sure enough.

On the screen, Lu Chen moved!

He sat up, scratched his head, stretched, and walked over to the light switch, turning the brightness up.

The Livestream Erupted!

【HE’S AWAKE! FINALLY!】

【Wait… was he actually thinking about the plot, or was he just sleeping?! If he was just sleeping, this is gonna be a disaster!】

Inside the room, Lu Chen stretched his limbs.

Damn… That nap was amazing.

“Sorry for the wait, everyone!”

He waved at the camera.

“The story is already in my head. And it’s… quite interesting.”

“But… my writing method might feel strange to some of you.

You might even feel uncomfortable.

So, I’m giving a heads-up—

Brace yourselves.”

With that warning, Lu Chen got straight to work.

Ignoring whether the audience could understand, he walked over to a whiteboard and wrote.

[Gao Qiqiang, I want to talk to you!]

Everyone in the livestream froze.

Then, Lu Chen sat at his computer.

Created a new document.

And typed.

[Me: Hello, Gao Qiqiang. I’ve heard a lot about you.

Gao Qiqiang: Hello, Lu Chen.]

The Livestream Fell Silent.

WTF?

Was this…

A self-interview?

Did he not wake up properly?

Why was he talking to himself?

Seeing this bizarre scene—Shu Ping, Yan Geling, and even Liu Heping had a sudden realization. Their pupils shrunk.

“Wait… this is—?”

Yan Geling hesitated.

“Yan, what is he doing?”

Xiao Sa was stunned.

Yan Geling snapped his fingers.

“Don’t rush! Just watch! You’ll understand soon!”

Xiao Sa: “…”

Even Chen Sicheng frowned.

What the hell is this guy doing?

Inside the room, Lu Chen had completely tuned out everything else. His entire focus was on the document.

Or rather—

In his mind, there was no computer.

No screen.

No walls.

No livestream.

Only a table.

And across from him—Gao Qiqiang sat there, smiling at him. His eyes carried a trace of amusement—but also a hint of something unsettling.

Xiao Sa jumped to his feet.

“HOLY SHIT—WHAT IS THIS?”

“Shhh!”

Yan Geling silenced him immediately.

“Shut up and watch!

This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment!”

“A once-in-a-lifetime moment!”

“Yes! You’re about to witness the most mysterious creative technique in screenwriting!”

“Huh!”

Yan Geling’s words left not only Xiao Sa, but also the entire audience speechless. Even the top executives of major film companies sat frozen in disbelief. The most mysterious creative technique!

What the hell is happening?
