I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Monday, November 30th

The last day of November arrived and it was the most anticipated day of the month for the people who worked.

After all, it was payment day!

Usually, the workers got their payment on the first day of the next month, but that didn't stop them from knowing that it was on the last day of the month that their payment was calculated.

And that was not different from the employees who worked in the companies that Theo owned.

Theo was inside the animation studio of his house after he bade goodbye to his sister who had to go to school.

He initially planned to continue drawing the basics for the start of the production of his anime, after all, the Tokyo Studios would open on the day after.

So, he needed to finish these drawings by today.

But when he arrived in the studio, he heard Sylph's voice through the speakers of the room.

"Master, the monthly reports of the companies were sent by the managers." Sylph said with a lively voice.

As Theo's accountant and personal secretary, Sylph was responsible for monitoring the workings of his companies.

She constantly watching through the internet if any employee was secretly taking money from his companies.

But that's all she did, she did not involve herself with the workings of the company.

Theo lifted his brows in surprise when he heard that.

It was so early and his managers already finished the job!

It is important to notice that when Theo and Sylph said 'managers', they were referring to each Director Manager who took care of his company.

Sayuri, the Director Manager of the Fuji Jump Co.

Haruto, the Director Manager of the BlueCloud Coffee Shop.

Ryoko, Head Director of the Tokyo Animation Studios.

And finally, the person who took care of all the management of the above companies, Samantha, the Head Director of the Umbrella Enterprises.

June, Manager of the 'The Spark' restaurant which was the only company that was not attached to the Umbrella Enterprises.

So, when Sylph said that the managers sent the monthly report of the profits for November, it meant that these 5 people sent their reports.

"Great! Show me the reports!" Theo replied eagerly as his eyes shone.

He wanted to know how his companies profited this month, after all, he was not hypocritical to say that he did not like money.

He knew that money was important.

He learned this painful lesson during the nights that he worked day and night to give money for his orphanage in his past life.

He also learned this lesson when he transmigrated to this world because his predecessor died because he did not have money to provide for Aurora.

But even though Theo valued money, he did not put much importance into it.

Because he also learned that even if someone did not have money as long the loved ones were still there, he could still be happy.

These were the word that the matron said to him in his past life.

And he took her advice and branded it into his heart.

That's why even after becoming a millionaire, something he never dreamed to achieve in his past life, he still had the same personality.

He was still Theodore Gray, the guy who loved his sister more than anything and the guy who dreamed to bring his favorite movies, songs, animes, and so on into the Azure Star.

Theo sat on his chair as the screen of his computer lit up as Sylph showed him the first report.

The report was from BlueCloud's profit this month.

Theo read the report with focused eyes.

The first skill he received from the system was a Business Management Skill, which at the moment it had reached Level 9.

But with everything that he had been doing in the past months, he did not have much time to increase the level of this skill.

And the difficulty of leveling up this skill was much harder as it had already a high level.

He was satisfied with the level of this skill already.

If he was being honest with himself, Theo would say that he did not like managing a business.

He would rather work on a new manga or his music album or even another project.

He was happy that the system gave missions that were according to what he liked.

After all, he still had two pending missions.

[Mission - 'Anime is the Way'

Description: You have chosen to dwell in the Anime business. And if you want to do it, you have to be great at it.

Requirements:

•Establish An Animation Studio;

•Launch An Anime.

Rewards:

•5 million dollars;

•2000 exp;

•One Studio Ghibli Movie of Your Choice.]

This was the mission most difficult of the two that the system issued.

But the rewards of it were equally amazing.

Not considering the 5 million dollars and the experience points he would receive.

He would even get the chance to choose one Studio Ghibli movie!

That's why Theo was prepared to assign a team from the bach of animators he hired to work as animators to produce Studio Ghibli movies.

He was hopeful about getting all the movies from this studio.

After all, Theo loved every movie from them!

He loved it so much that until now he had not decided which movie he would choose when he completed this mission.

But that would have to wait until April when he would complete this mission when he launched the Sword Art Online Anime.

The second mission that the system issued was this.

[Mission - 'I wanna be an Artist!'

Description: In your new life you have chosen to focus on the entertainment industry. But the music industry is one of the most important in entertainment. You should consider bringing new and great songs into this world.

Requirements:

•Launch One Music Album.

Rewards:

•1 million dollars;

•1000 exp.]

This mission was the reason for Theo to launch his music album.

Previously, Theo had never even imagined launching a music album.

He wasn't even planning on doing that, but after he received the mission he thought 'Why not?'.

He was surprised to find himself excited about the idea of launching a music album.

And it was then that he discovered his passion for music.

Do not understand wrongly.

Theo loved music before, but he was like everyone else before.

Most people only enjoy listening to music, they never think about producing and working with music.

And that was how Theo treated music before.

He admired several artists and knew tons of songs, but he never dreamed about working with music.

But as soon Theo started working on his music album.

He found out that he loved the smell of the instruments and the studio.

He loved the thrill of playing or singing a song.

He loved the excitement he got when other people listened to songs that he played.

Only people who knew and experienced these feelings first-hand knew the excitement that Theo felt.

So, it was not a surprise to say that Theo fell in love with the music.

Theo was grateful to his system for opening this door to him.

He was also grateful because his system did not give him crazy missions and did not involve itself with his life deeply.

Proof of that is that the system had not said anything to him for weeks.

And Theo was okay with that.

For Theo, the system was just a silent partner on his road to achieving his dreams.

The silver-haired man looked at the report with focused eyes as these thoughts came and went inside his head.

But a hint of satisfaction could be seen in his silver-moon-like eyes.

It could not be helped.

The profit he saw was much more than he expected!
