I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Tokyo Animation Studios Headquarters, Elffire City.

When Theo arrived on that Thursday morning, he only briefly greeted Ryoko before heading to the sound engineering department. He did not have anything important to talk about with her, and she didn't have anything to tell him either.

Theo did not like inspecting her work much, he had total confidence in her skills. And his purpose in coming was to help the anime production.

He chose to visit the sound department that morning because starting tomorrow, the voice actors would start working. The Sound Department had to be working without any hiccups so they could start synching the voiceovers from the actors and the sound effects.

Starting tomorrow the Sound Department would be connected all day long with the branch studio in Sakura City, the purpose of it was that the sound engineers here in Elffire City would coordinate the voice actors in Sakura City. That was because they were the ones with access to the production.

They frequently had creative meetings with the rest of the production team, so they were up with the latest news about the production.

Theo needed to see if they were up for the task ahead of them, so he chose to see their work that Thursday morning.

Theo walked into the Sound Department with curious eyes. It was his first time here since he toured around the studio for the first time.

The Sound Department and Music Studio were next to each other. One was responsible for the production of sound effects and sound engineering. While the other was responsible for the production of the animation soundtracks. At the moment, only the Sound Department was fully operational.

Theo didn't have time yet to hire musicians to work for his Music Studio. But he wasn't too worried even if he did not find musicians as he could produce the soundtrack himself.

The two departments were separated from the rest of the studio, as it was normal to hear loud noises coming from them. This way their work would not disturb the rest of the studio.

Even with the sound isolation material covering the two department walls, it was still possible to hear some sounds coming from inside.

That's why Theo had to walk for a while until he arrived at the Sound Department.

Theo greeted the receptionist with a smile before he entered the sound effect studio with casual steps. She immediately knew who he was as the most popular gossip around the studio is how handsome the studio owner was. She had heard Theo's description from other employees who had seen him.

Lean and strong body, silver hair, and silver eyes.

It was impossible to not recognize him.

Especially when she saw his handsome smile.

When Theo entered the studio, he saw that the sound engineers were having a meeting as they discussed which way they should produce the sound effects of the animation they just received from the Composition Department.

Theo stayed quiet and just observed the progress of the meeting and sound engineers. When Theo wanted, he could almost erase his presence, so no one noticed that their boss was observing them. If they did, they would have acted differently. And that's not what Theo wanted, he wanted to see how they acted with their coworkers for real.

So far, he had only met the 3 heads of the department, but he did not have the opportunity to observe the other 27 sound engineers that Ryoko hired.

There were 30 sound engineers in the meeting room as they traded ideas about the way of producing the sound effects.

After observing for a while, Theo was satisfied with their behavior and skill knowledge.

'Ryoko did an amazing job by hiring all these engineers.' Theo thought.

It wasn't easy to find trustworthy and skilled sound engineers with experience in the market, and Ryoko managed to get 30 people like this. Especially, Oichi, Kanai, and Emina.

In his observations, Theo concluded the three heads of the department had genius minds in sound engineering.

Theo was happy that such genius minds were working in his studio. The more geniuses gathered in the studio, the higher quality his animes would achieve in the end.

Just like was said before, Theo did not have the time nor the energy to produce the anime all by himself. So, he needed talented people to fill these positions for him.

When the meeting was about to end, Theo decided to make himself present to everyone.

He knocked on the door and entered the room with a smile on his face.

"Hey, guys. Good morning." He greeted everyone.

Although only the three department heads had seen Theo before, everyone was able to recognize Theo as their boss.

"Boss! Good morning!" Emina exclaimed in surprise with a light blush on her face.

"Good morning, boss!" Kanai also said with a blushed face.

Even though the two women tried to act professionally, Theo was too handsome for them and made their defense crumble in defeat.

The other women around the room had an even stronger reaction as they were not used to his handsomeness.

"I will observe your work this morning and maybe help you guys. I also have some announcements to tell everyone here." Theo explained the reason for his sudden visit.

Everyone got a little nervous when they heard him.

If Theo was only the creative director of the anime, they wouldn't be so nervous. But Theo was also the owner of the studio!

He was the boss of everyone in the studio!

No one could go against his decisions.

The lucky thing was that they had heard that Theo was an easygoing and kind person. But even then they still felt nervous to have their boss inspect their work.

Oichi promptly offered a seat to Theo by the table where everyone was seated at.

"You guys don't need to get nervous. I'm not scary as everyone says. I only transform into a monster during full moon nights." Theo joked with a smile on his face.

Everyone laughed merrily when they heard his joke, and their tense moods slowly dissolved as they saw his easygoing personality.

"Before I see how you guys work. There is something that everyone needs to know. I don't know if any of you are aware that we just opened a branch studio in Sakura City." He started as he looked at them.

Some of them nodded while others were hearing this for the first time.

"The branch studio went fully operational last Saturday when we realized the auditions for the voice actors who will dub the SAO Anime characters. We already selected the cast of voice actors, and all actors will have their contracts signed before the end of the day. And they will start working tomorrow." Theo informed.

"Some of you might already have guessed. But I will still say it. You guys will have to collaborate with the branch studio in Sakura City to coordinate the voice actors during the recordings."

"Are you guys up for it?" Theo asked as he looked at them with his brilliant silver eyes.
