I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Tokyo Animation Studios, Elffire City.

5:06 PM, Friday, December 25th.

The wintry sun had already descended the skies, and the night arrived in the city, but that didn't stop the operations in the city.

With the heating system melting the snow that fell from the skies, the early night didn't bother the citizens, especially the ones who worked in advanced facilities.

The Tokyo Studios were one of these places, the building had a perfect isolation system to maintain the inside temperature.

That's why no one wore winter clothes inside the building.

Theo was walking through the corridors of the studios as he talked with Ryoko.

He had spent the day in the studio inspecting the work of his employees.

He visited most of the departments and talked with other animators.

For example, he visited the sound studio and observed the sound engineers producing the sound effects for his anime, he even helped them a little.

Afterward, he visited the in-between and keyframe departments, as the departments that had the most employees, Theo didn't have time to visit every team, but that didn't stop him from talking with these employees.

He observed them working and gave them suggestions and advice.

His experienced mind made several animators understand their shortcomings, so the more he helped them, the more the animators admired them.

After the team leaders left the meeting in the morning, they didn't hesitate to praise their boss to their team members.

When the animators heard that the boss gave them a lecture, and the lecture was a top-notch lecture, everyone became even more respectful towards him.

The word got out and now, everyone in the studio knew how talented and skillful their boss was.

So, no one dared to underestimate Theo even with his young face.

Theo even had lunch in the food court of the company where everyone was able to catch a glimpse of the handsome silver-haired man.

He had lunch with Ryoko and Amber, and everyone treated them as if they were their idols.

What made them like him, even more, was that Theo was easygoing and carefree, he didn't seem like a powerful boss and rich man, he seemed like one of them.

Someone who loved anime.

Even though no one was bold enough to strike up a conversation with him, he still passed a calm and gentle feeling.

And when word got out that Theo was touring and visiting teams around the studio, everyone was eager to be next.

After all, the teams that he visited bragged non-stop about how Theo helped them become better.

But as he was only one person, he wasn't able to visit every team.

At that moment, Theo and Ryoko were walking toward the parking lot as they talked.

"So, what do you think? Did you like what you saw when you visited the teams?" Ryoko asked curiously.

"Hmm, in every team I visited, I noticed that everyone is working very seriously. There are some structural problems, but these problems are the ones we predicted. When we finish the production of the [SAO] Anime, we can fix these problems. But aside from that, I think the studio is heading on the right path." Theo replied with a gentle smile.

Ryoko heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that, she would become disappointed if Theo didn't like the way that the studio was operating.

After all, she was responsible for the studio.

These structural problems didn't matter much, as she already knew about them, and just like Theo said, these problems would be solved later.

What Theo was talking about was the chain of command inside the studio.

Until now, there was only one boss inside the studio.

Ryoko, the Head Director.

But every department needed someone to lead the employees.

The art department needed an Art Chief-Director.

The editing department needed a Chief Editor.

And the other departments also needed a chief to command the department.

There were also other positions inside the departments that needed to be filled.

That's why Theo said that there were structural problems inside the studio, but they would fix that when the [SAO] Anime production ended.

By then, the secret tests that Ryoko was performing on several employees would finish, and the people who passed would assume positions in the chain of command.

That would solve several problems, and make Ryoko's life easier.

After all, with only her as the decision maker, she had to take care of so many things.

But with the department chiefs helping her, her work would become easier and more efficient.

But these positions were too important, that's why Theo and Ryoko devised these secret tests to evaluate the talent of the candidates.

The best of them would assume the chief positions, and the rest would assume other positions under the department chiefs.

That way the framework of the studio would be completed, and they would be able to work on several projects.

That's why some of the animators felt they were still being tested, even after the work in the studio started.

Their intuition was sharp.

"I'm relieved." Ryoko replied.

"Oh, I talked with Sam. I explained to her my ideas, and she said we can already start buying the anime copyrights next week. But we will need information about the streaming service operations and legal information." She added when she remembered the conversation she had with Sam earlier that day.

Theo nodded and replied, "I will send to you these pieces of information then."

Theo understood that for the studios to allow the purchase of the copyrights, they needed information about the streaming service.

A streaming service was also a company, that's why Theo had to register the company with the government to secure its legal rights.

The streaming service became a company under the Umbrella Corporation, last month he asked Sam to register the company.

He knew that he would eventually need to register the company, so he asked Sam to start the operations much before the copyrights purchases started, and he was glad he did that because if it went as he predicted, he would need to postpone the purchases even with the money in hands.

After all, he first predicted that he would start the purchases at the end of January, not at the end of December.

"Seriously? The streaming service code is ready?" Ryoko asked in surprise.

"Hmm, I would say it is 50% ready. With this information, you can use it to purchase the copyrights." Theo replied with a smile.

Programming a streaming service was a lengthy and laborious job that required extremely skillful hands.

That's why Theo gave the job to the best programmer he knew, Sylph!

As an expert hacker, Sylph could be considered one of the best programmers in the world.

She could do a much better job than Theo would be able to because she would be able to notice and correct any bugs and errors.

While Theo was working on his music album, a section of Sylph's processors was working on the streaming service code.

Sylph could have already finished, but Theo wanted to participate in the rest of the production.

He wanted to design the visuals of the service and inspect Sylph's work.

Even though he trusted her, he still wanted to be sure.

"Oh, that's great, boss! We will not be delayed this way." Ryoko replied with shining eyes.

"What's the name of the streaming service, by the way?" She asked.

"Kuramaroll." Theo smiled.
