I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Thursday, November 19th

Theo had just said goodbye to his sister as she went to school.

He walked toward the recording studio with shining eyes.

After two weeks of preparation, today was the day he would start producing the first song of his album.

He arrived at the studio as he thought about which song he should start with.

So far, he has already chosen 9 of the 10 songs on the album.

He only needed to choose the song he would sing with Aurora, but he figured he would choose it when Aurora was there.

pᴀɴdᴀ He thought about the songs he chose.

'I should start with a simple song. This way I can familiarize myself with the process of producing a song.' Theo said inwardly.

"I guess I will go with 'Say You Won't Let Go'"

"This song has the acoustic guitar as the main instrument. And the keyboard, drums, and bass to support the play."

"Even though it was not the most simple song in the album, this song is simple enough so that I can get familiar with the process." Theo said with a thoughtful face.

After choosing the song, Theo started to work on it.

Theo entered the recording room and picked up the guitar part.

He would start by recording the guitar.

It is important to notice that in song production, every instrument is recorded separately. The vocals are recorded in the same way too.

After all parts are recorded, we move to the production where the parts will be put together by the sound engineer and producer.

But because Theo would assume both roles, he had the liberty to do things his way.

Theo spent his day recording all parts of the song.

He had to record some parts several times to get it right.

Even with his enhanced ear and great motor coordination, he wasn't immune to mistakes.

But he indeed had an edge compared with other artists.

Even though he was doing everything by himself, he was much faster than most productions.

And because of that, at the end of the afternoon, Theo was already recording the vocals.

The instruments' parts were recorded perfectly, and now he only needed to record the vocal before piecing the parts together.

Theo entered the recording room and stopped in front of the microphone.

He took a deep breath and tried to remember how he felt when he heard James Arthur's song for the first time.

He was to pass to the listeners of Azure Star the same feel that people from Earth felt.

James was so amazing singing this song, he passed such a profound feeling when he sang.

And Theo was searching for the feeling.

After a while, he nodded to Sylph to start recording.

His voice reverberated through the room with emotion as he started to sing.

[I met you in the dark, you lit me up

You made me feel as though I was enough

We danced the night away, we drank too much

I held your hair back when

You were throwing up

Then you smiled over your shoulder

For a minute, I was stone-cold sober

I pulled you closer to my chest

And you asked me to stay over

I said, I already told ya

I think that you should get some rest

I knew I loved you then

But you'd never know

'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go

I know I needed you

But I never showed

But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old

Just say you won't let go

Just say you won't let go...]

Theo finished singing and got out of the recording room.

"Sylph, play the recording." Theo asked.

"Yes, master!" She replied.

Theo heard it with all his focus.

He had to find any mistakes he might have made.

And when he finished listening, he indeed found some mistakes he made in the tempo and tone o some parts of the song.

Theo proceeded to record the vocal again.

One hour later he had a recording that was good enough to relive James Arthur's song in Azure Star.

He was not narcissistic enough to say that his voice was as good as James Arthur's but he thought it was good enough.

After seeing that everything was recorded, he took a shower so that he could go to the restaurant.

As he drove his car later, he was thinking that he would finish the production of 'Say You Won't Let Go' tomorrow.

'If I finish the song production tomorrow, I can estimate that I can produce all songs in at least one month. After all, some songs I chose are more difficult than the one I recorded today.'

'In the meantime, I can start writing the scripts for the music videos. Oh, I should make a profile with my artistic name on all social media. Ruby, Raingram, Track, and Wing.'

The first three apps were already introduced.

And Wing was an app similar to Twitter from Theo's past life.

The app had the same features of 240 characters per post.

This site was one of the few that was founded by Bald Eagle citizens.

Theo knew that Wing had even more users than Twitter because Bald Eagle Country promoted the app with determination.

The country wanted to compete with apps from Sakura Abode Country.

Theo arrived at the restaurant in a joyful mood.

He was happy that he recorded his first song, he couldn't wait to start putting everything together the day after.

Theo entered the kitchen and saw that the staff already arrived.

He was indeed a little late because he was busy recording the song.

"Hey, guys!" Theo greeted them.

"Hey, boss!" They greeted back.

"I will dress in my uniform and we can start the work." Theo said to them as he entered the changing room.

After a while, he exited the changing room dressed in his black chef clothes.

"Now, we can begin." Theo smiled as he looked at them.

That night was Ayia's day off, so Theo couldn't hug the super pretty purple-haired girl.

"Yes, chef!" They replied as they stood up to start working.

"Kimiko, you know the drill." Theo said as he started cooking.

"Yes, chef!" Kimiko replied with a firm voice.

Every time that Ayia and Shizuka had the day off, Kimiko would assume the post of the second chef in the kitchen.

And after several times, Kimiko learned how to do her job without any errors and she was learning so much.

She could feel that she was becoming a better cook as she cooked more and more in 'The Spark' kitchen.

The kitchen was in full focus while cooking.

After cooking together for a while, all of them were used with each other.

Theo was in the zone as he cooked, he forgot that he had many things to do.

All his mind could think about was cooking the best he could.

That was why he loved cooking.

He could forget all his worries while doing something he loved.

A while later, Theo saw Aurora coming into the kitchen.

"Good night, little girl." Theo smiled at her.

"Hey, big brother." Aurora replied with a sweet smile.

She was coming from school and came to talk with her brother as she did every day.

"I will help with sister June!" She said with shining eyes.

She learned so much while helping June, and she loved helping her brother's restaurant.

"Sure! Later we can eat something." Theo replied.

"Bye! Bye, guys!" Aurora said goodbye to her brother and the kitchen staff.

Theo shook his head and smiled as he returned to his work.

It was another usual day at 'The Spark' restaurant.
