I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Wednesday, December 30th.

One day before New Year's Eve.

Theo woke up early as usual after a great night of sleep. He went to sleep early yesterday, which was unusual. But because of that, he was ready for the busy day ahead of him.

He stood up from his comfy bed and walked toward his bedroom to do his morning routine. When he left the bathroom a few minutes later, he said, "Sylph, open the shades a little bit. And put on the screen the Worldwide and SA Charts of today."

He had to get dressed for his workout with the girls, but he still wanted to see the latest charts.

Without any surprises, his songs still occupied the Top 10 in the two charts. But when saw the number of streams beside the top 3 songs, he became shocked.

Each one of the three songs surpassed 50 million streams in the last 24 hours!

While the other 7 songs each had at least 45 million streams!

"Sylph, what's the current record in most streamed song in 24 hours?" Theo asked in wonder after he put on his winter workout shirt.

"The current record is held by Moonlight's [Perfect], which reached 55.1 million streams on December 30th of 2020. The previous was held by [Sea Lullaby] with 50.2 million streams on December 31st of 2019." Sylph immediately replied.

Theo was dumbfounded by her answer.

Did he just break the all-time record of streams?

And it wasn't simple as that because, with the number of streams on the other two songs, they also broke the record!

Perfect [Moonlight] = 55.1 million streams

bad guy [Moonlight] = 51.5 million streams

Save Your Tears [Moonlight (with Tsukuyomi)] 50.9 million streams

Three of his songs surpassed the record, but 'Perfect' reached the highest number of streams among the three, so it held the new record.

Theo ran the numbers, and ever since his album was released six days ago, the total amount of streams his album got was over 1 billion streams!

Most of these streams were gathered in the last 4 days. Especially in the last 24 hours when the 10 songs had a total amount of 485 million streams.

Moonlight broke several records already.

For example, the most streamed album in its debut week and the most streamed album in one week.

And the week hadn't even ended yet!

There was still one more day for Moonlight to place even more leverage on his record.

As Moonlight launched his album last Thursday, December 24th, there was still the whole Wednesday to finish the week since Thursday.

Theo didn't even have to check the news pages to know that they were reporting his latest achievements. But he was cool about it. After the initial shock faded away, he only nodded in appreciation and continued dressing up for his workout.

After his lengthy conversation with Aurora yesterday, Theo did not feel much with these huge numbers his album was producing. The money he would receive already had certain destinations that would not impact his life much.

When he arrived downstairs, he saw that Aurora hadn't climbed down yet. So, he sat down and waited for her.

And he didn't have to wait for long as a few minutes later Aurora climbed down the stairs dressed in her workout outfit.

"Good morning, Cupcake! How are you today? Still sore?" Theo asked with a worried face.

"Good morning, Big brother! Don't worry. I'm much better. I can move without much strain on the muscles. I'm ready for another training." Aurora replied with a sweet smile.

"Okay, if you say so. Let's stretch and run then." Theo said as he wryly shook his head.

He could understand Aurora's eagerness to be a better martial artist, but he did not like the sight of her getting injured because of her excessive eagerness.

A while later, the two siblings were running through the white landscape of their backyard.

"Our surprise party to Ayia and Shizuka will be tonight? But what about your shift in the restaurant?" Aurora asked in confusion.

"It will be after the restaurant closes. They won't suspect the surprise party this way." Theo chuckled.

"Oh, great! I'm in!" Aurora exclaimed excitedly.

"Can I help organize the party?" She asked.

"Of course. You can help June for me. I won't be of much help because I have a super busy day ahead of me." Theo replied between breaths as the two of them ran.

"Busy with what?" Aurora asked curiously.

"Today it's the last business day of the month and the year as tomorrow is a national holiday. So, I have to check the reports of my companies, sign documents, talk with the head managers and do other things. Plus, there will be a creative meeting in the animation studio in the afternoon that I want to participate. And when I leave the meeting, it will be already time for my shift at the restaurant. Which I can't miss because it's the last service of the year." Theo explained.

"Wow! It seems you will be super busy indeed." Aurora said in wonder.

But she also could see that her brother did not seem bothered by the busy day, instead, he seemed excited and looking forward to it.

And she was right! Theo loved to read the reports on how his companies were going. He liked to talk with his head managers to know how the month went by in the company. And this time there would be yearly reports! He couldn't wait to see how his companies did in their first year.

Plus, there would be a creative meeting in the studio. Theo loved these meetings. They were filled with innovative ideas. He could see his anime slowly being hatched as he observed the animators discuss even the tiniest details of the animation. It was an immense satisfaction to him. Plus, he could learn new things in these meetings. Even though he had most of the knowledge, he still did not have as much experience as the others. So, he could learn things that only experienced animators would know in these meetings.

Lastly, it was the last service of his restaurant of the year. His restaurant was the first building he projected. He envisioned the last tiny detail. The restaurant was much more than a business to him. It represented the place where he could dedicate his whole self to his passion for cooking. It was his baby project. And he wanted to end its first year with perfect service to the clients who would visit the restaurant that night.

That's why Theo was so excited for the day ahead of him. At first moment, it seemed like a busy and tiring day. But to him, it represented several opportunities and great moments in his life!

His eyes shone as he laughed, "Yes, I will."
