I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

1:06 AM, December 17th.

The night was cold outside.

The snowstorm had been falling on Elffire City since the Winter season arrived.

Wintry trees stand as ballet dancers poised to show the world their grace, and strength showing in how they remain so still in the seasonal gusts.

Now that the leaves have fallen, they are so proud, as if their silvery-brown skin was their glory all along.

There is a warmth that tumbles out in the wintertime; when all else is so cold. It radiates from those who love and nurture as easily as they breathe.

In truth, the sparks of warmth are always there no matter the season, just like a warm rock blends into a summer beach, yet melts winter ice.

The forest was buried in snow and the cold winds seemed to want to blow everything off its way.

That was the view from Theo's office as he worked that night or early day.

3 hours before, Theo arrived at his home from the restaurant with his sister.

He said good night to her when Aurora said she wanted to sleep right away.

He kissed her forehead and hugged her before she went away.

Immediately after, Theo headed toward his animation studio.

He had to start working on his animated music video immediately!

There was no time to waste.

So, for the past 3 hours, Theo has been in his animation studio drawing.

He wanted to draw the storyboard of the animation that he thought about as soon as possible.

And that was what he did as the snow fell outside his house.

If someone looked from the outside, they would see an expensive house and a floor-to-ceiling glass window.

And through this window, they would see a beyond handsome silver-haired man working.

His eyes were focused and his posture was straight as an arrow.

But it was his hands that told the most story.

His hands seemed to dance as he drew pages and pages of what seemed to be animated characters.

Theo did not change positions even once as he continued to work.

Suddenly, his hands stopped their motion and Theo let out a sigh of relief.

He finally was able to finish the storyboard of the music video.

Some people would think that Theo was slow and unskilled to only be able to finish the storyboard for a 4-minute only after 3 hours.

But the animation that Theo envisioned was not simple.

He took his inspiration from the Edit Anime Mix Versions of 'Believer' from his last life.

To understand what Theo was doing, everyone should listen to 'Believer' first to understand.

Throughout the whole song, it is possible to discern a distinct beat.

The beat was so addictive that it makes everyone want to move their bodies.

Shortly, what Theo wanted was to synch the song's beat with the animation.

For example, when the beat sounded it would synch with the sound of the clash between the two animated characters.

The animation would tell the story of two characters.

The first scene of the music video would not start with the song playing.

It would start with the two characters getting up from the ground, they would be injured and covered in blood.

As they stood up from the ground, they would be looking at each other with eyes filled with hatred.

The only sound until that moment would be the sound of their breathing.

Suddenly, they would run into each other and start fighting again.

The song would start as they clashed with each other.

But the fight would be cut off.

The scene would change to a different one.

It would show two boys getting up from their beds.

The beat would follow their movements as the two kids were shown them in different situations.

It is also important to say that the world of this animation was not normal.

There were superpowers there.

The animation would show as the two boys learned about their powers.

At a certain point, the animation would show the reason why they hated each other.

The boys at that point were not children anymore.

They would start fighting as the peak of the song arrived.

Amazing powers would be shown.

Power enough to raze entire cities.

But even with all that power, their powers were similar.

So, even after fighting for so long, there was still no winner.

And just before the last chorus, they both would throw at each other their most powerful attacks.

But just before the attacks landed, the screen would go black and the song would stop for a few seconds.

The first scene of the music video would appear again.

Their spent bodies could not muster their power anymore, but even without their superpowers, they still continued fighting with their own bodies.

No words were said.

It was only possible to hear their heavy breathing and the sound of punches and kicks.

And when the song started playing again, their fight continued, but there were flashbacks of the two of them fighting when they were children.

These flashbacks would be shown together with the fight happening later.

In the last scene of the animated music video would be their eyes filled with hatred as they destroyed each other.

Theo knew that it was an impossible task for one person to animate this music video.

But Theo was not a normal person.

Even if the fight scenes were difficult to the extreme, he never doubted that he would be able to do it.

That's why he didn't stop working after finishing the storyboard.

Now that he had the storyboard, he could start drawing the frames.

The reason why he spent three hours drawing this thing was to facilitate his work.

With the storyboard in hand, he would be to draw all the frames in the least time possible for someone like him.

And he needed that efficiency.

That was because Theo would need to draw almost 3 thousand in-between frames and keyframes!

If there was anyone who forgot, every second of the animation was filled with 6 frames.

And every frame was filled with two drawings.

So, every second had 12 drawings.

Even with Theo's advanced motor coordination, he could not finish drawing so many frames quickly.

The best he could do was to finish in three days, and that was if he didn't stop working.

But, he was determined to finish drawing everything before Sunday.

Then, he could start with the next steps of the anime production.

Compositions, digital coloring, editing, and so on.

But there was a key step that would be essential to the music video.

Theo also had to produce the sound effects for the animation.

The sound of heavy breathing, the footsteps, the fight, and the other sounds described before had to be produced in the studio.

Theo had no experience in producing sound effects, but even then he did not go back on his decision.

With all the knowledge he earned over the past month in music and sound engineering, he did not think it would be hard for him to do the job.

Even though Theo would have a much easier job if he just asked Ryoko to get him some animators and sound engineers from the Tkyo Studios to help him, he still refused to do it.

It might sound silly, but he wanted this animation by himself.

Would he be able to produce the amazing music video he envisioned in his head?
