I am the Entertainment Tycoon
408 Theo's Charm and Brianna's Guess
Theo could see the excitement in their eyes when he revealed the information. Their competitive spirit was burning.
"Our studio is only open for a month, but our goal must be the sky! I want our animes to compete with the top studios in Sakura City. We hired each one of you because we saw potential and talent in you. Now it arrived the time for you all to show that our decision was correct when we hired all of you." Theo talked with a magnetic and firm voice.
He wanted to bring out the best of them, and only by saying things like these he would be able to do that. And his words were effective as everyone became even more determined to prove themselves to their bosses.
Theo nodded inwardly when he saw that, so he smiled and said, "That's all. Let's eat, guys! Oh, and an early happy new year to everyone." Theo finished with a bright smile.
CLAP CLAP CLAP
As soon as he finished, everyone started clapping as well.
Theo came down the stage as everyone clapped, he smiled at Ryoko as he gave her the microphone.
Ryoko smiled back as well. She liked and approved of his speech. She knew that the animators needed an incentive for the new year, and what Theo told them was the perfect thing to motivate them. She already could imagine that they would spend the entire new year holidays thinking about their work back at the studio.
The party moved on as everyone served themselves and ate the delicious food.
Theo also got a serving for himself and sat down at a table with Ryoko and a few others.
Some people were even surprised when they saw Theo eating among everyone else. They knew that he had to be super rich to open a studio like that. But he still acted humble and kind to everyone. That made everyone like him even more.
Theo made small talk with Ryoko and the others as he ate his food. Everyone at the table was able to see another side of Theo.
Ryoko knew him much better and was his friend already, so she was already used to his normal self.
But the others only had seen Theo acting as their boss, so it was their first time seeing Theo so playful and charming. They even temporarily forgot that he was their boss as they talked about random things.
Theo was just being himself, but he was able to charm everyone.
The others only woke up from his charm when they finished eating, and Theo left the table with Ryoko.
"Wow! Boss is really charming!" Brianna commented as soon as Theo and Ryoko left.
Aidan nodded as he said, "He seems the kind of guy we grow up as friends with."
"Yes! That's exactly the feeling!" Zofia exclaimed.
"He doesn't even act like a rich person." Nora commented.
"Yeah, I agree. When I was in high school I studied with some relatively wealthy people, and they were extremely arrogant. They acted as if they were rulers of everything. Theo is much richer than them, but he is kind and approachable." Brianna commented.
"Talking about him. What do you guys think will happen with us when the current production ends?" Aidan suddenly asked.
It was only then that they remembered the information that Theo dropped before the feast started.
"I already suspected that we would be separated after the [SAO] production ended. But hearing from him was much more impactful." Bruno sighed.
"It is indeed overkill to put the entire studio to produce only one anime, especially when there are more than 800 of us." Araya added.
"But the question is how they will divide us?" Zofia asked.
"I think they will take a portion of each department and gather a team to produce each specific animation." Nora commented.
Brianna nodded, "That's a valid guess. That's what probably will happen. But also think that they will decide who will be the departments' heads. After all, there is no one heading the departments so far. This means that our performance in this period will decide which one will receive the position."
Brianna, Aidan, Nora, and Bruno who already had high positions in their respective departments had excited expressions as they realized that.
It would be a dream coming true if they were able to get that position.
"We have to give our best this time." Aidan declared firmly.
The others nodded in agreement.
"I wonder which animes we will produce next." Mitsue said suddenly in a low voice.
She was not in such a high position to fight for positions as department head, but she was still excited about the future.
"The boss said that the studio will have several productions happening at the same time. This means that he already has the anime copyrights secured for production. As he is the owner, we can trust his word." Nora commented.
"The question is from which publishing house he bought? I didn't see any news report about the purchase of several copyrights." Bruno chimed in.
"I think I know which animes we will produce next." Brianna declared suddenly.
Everyone immediately looked at her when she said that.
"What? How can you know?" Aidan asked in disbelief.
The others were in disbelief as well as they waited for her to continue.
"You guys know that I'm part of the Art Department, right? Well, we were researching the light novel that we are basing on to produce the [Sword Art Online] Anime. Guess what we found?" Brianna smiled as she teased them.
The others could barely restrain themselves when they heard that.
"We found that the light novel was only released a few months ago, and although it didn't make it to the Light Novel Sales Ranking, every volume that arrives in the bookstores is sold out. Which means that the light novel has the potential to reach the ranking." Brianna explained.
Everyone was a little shocked when they heard that. That was because the Light Novel Sales Ranking recorded which light novels sold the most copies in the entire country!
"And what is strange is that the publishing company that released the [SAO] Light Novel only opened a few months ago as well. And their best seller is a manga called [Naruto]." She continued.
"Hey! I already heard about this manga! Before I came to Elffire City, I stopped by a bookstore to buy some mangas to read during the trip over. And I saw a bunch of people desperate to buy a copy of it. I wanted to buy a copy for me as well, but there weren't any copies left when I arrived." Zofia said with an excited voice.
Everyone was impressed when they heard that, it seemed like the public loved this new manga.
"And guess what? The publishing company has other successful mangas and light novels! And their headquarters are based here in Elffire City! I guess that Theo knows the owner of this publishing company, so he bought the copyrights of these works from them." Brianna finished.
The others had their eyes lit up when they heard that, they figured that the possibility of that being true was highly possible.
They had almost got everything right, but they would never imagine that Theo was rich enough to open two huge companies in a span of a few months. And their thoughts wouldn't even consider that these mangas and light novels came from his mind.
They talked excitedly about these mangas and light novels as they sat there. They decided to buy a few copies for themselves.
