ARRIVING at the 10th floor, an AI robot quickly assisted Astrid and Ellis. It guided the two to a waiting room where all the other auditionees were. It also gave them a number, telling them that the number given to them was the order in which the auditionees would audition.
Astrid saw that he was number '46'. According to Ellis, there were only 60 slots for this audition. Which was understandable. This was the comeback project of a well-known director after three years of hiatus. Just by the virtue of the director's fame alone, the shows popularity was basically guaranteed. Who wouldn't want to be part of such a show?
If they didn't limit the number of people, it wouldn't be surprising if more than a hundred auditionees would appear today. Maybe even more than that. The fact that there's a quota meant that the production team had already taken that into account. And the rest of those who would evaluate the audition probably didn't want to evaluate that more than a hundred people.
