"Yes, boss!" Everyone replied with passion.
They wanted to prove their worth to their boss. Everyone there had experience with coordinating voice actors, so they weren't afraid of the challenge.
"Good! Tomorrow there will be a eting where you will et the voice actors. We can discuss further details by then. Now I want to see what you guys are working with." Theo smiled.
Just like that, Theo spent his entire morning working and helping the sound engineers of his Sound Departnt. He corrected so mistakes and made suggestions for better thods.
The sound engineers were surprised to find that their boss was extrely knowledgeable in sound engineering. Even more than them!
So, they gladly accepted his suggestions.
At 11:35 am, Theo still was by the Sound Departnt when he felt his cellphone ringing. Soone was calling him.
He picked up the phone and smiled when he saw who was the caller.
"Hey, cupcake." Theo answered the phone with a smile.
"Big brother! Are you coming ho to have lunch with ?" Aurora asked with her sweet voice.
"Yes, I will be there shortly. You don't need to ask Sylph to get your lunch." Theo replied.
The two of them talked for a while longer before they hung up the phone.
Theo saw there was no need to stay in the Sound Departnt anymore. Everyone here was talented and experienced, so with his latest suggestions they would be able to work without any problems.
Theo bade goodbye to them before he left the departnt and headed to Ryoko's office.
After the sudden influx of money from Moonlight's streams, Theo decided to use part of the money to invest in his streaming service.
A while later, Theo arrived in front of her office.
"Hey, Amber. Is she busy right now?" Theo asked Ryoko's assistant.
"Good morning, boss! Miss Riverdale has just co from another departnt, so I don't think she is busy." Amber replied.
"Okay, thank you." Theo nodded with a smile before he knocked on Ryoko's office door.
Knock! Knock!
"Co on in!" A female voice ca from inside.
Theo promptly entered the office with a smile on his face.
"Good morning, Ryoko. How's everything going this morning?" Theo greeted her with a smile.
Ryoko smiled and answered, "Good morning, Theo. The production is progressing, as usual, this morning. So everything is okay."
"You have sothing to tell ?" She asked.
"Yes, I do. If I gave you another 30 million dollars to buy copyrights of more anis to put in the streaming service, do you think it would be possible to buy the copyrights from younger anis?" Theo asked the question he had when he decided to invest in his streaming service with the money he was making as Moonlight.
Ryoko was the one taking care of the ani copyright purchases, so she was the person who knew the best the price of these copyrights.
Before, Theo gave Ryoko 10 million dollars to buy the copyright from old anis. This amount of money was not enough to buy newer anis. So, the two of them decided to fill the streaming service with old anis. They were much cheaper to buy, and this way they would be able to fill the streaming service catalog with anis for the subscribers to watch.
But now, Theo had extra money to invest in the streaming service. So, he decided to put so new anis in it.
Nevertheless, he still had to ask Ryoko's opinion on the subject.
Ryoko has a thoughtful expression for a while before she answered, "Hmm, it is possible to buy the rights to transmit so new anis. However, the contract module we would have to sign to get these rights would be different from the old anis we are currently buying."
"How so?" He asked.
"How can I explain?" Ryoko mumbled.
"Oh, imagine that these old anis are old products. Everyone already watched these products, and everyone already has these products. This ans that these products can't produce more profit for the studios who produced them. The only way for them to produce profit is by selling their copyrights to soone else. These copyrights we are buying give us the right to put these anis in our platform and don't pay any royalties to the studios we bought these anis from. Even if there is a bunch of people watching these anis. The studios already tested these anis on other platforms and nobody watched them. That's why they don't care about giving us 100% copyrights."
"On another hand, we would not be able to buy the copyrights of newer anis. For example, anis from 10 years ago are still new in the eyes of the public. This ans that the studios would never sell the ani copyrights, only the rights to transmit them. We would have to sign a contract where for a determinate amount of ti we would be able to place their ani on our platform. And we would have to share so of our profits in proportion to the number of views these anis would generate monthly. The more people watch their ani, the more we would have to pay them." Ryoko finished her explanation as she watched for Theo's reaction.
Theo was silent for a while as he weighed the pros and cons of this new endeavor.
"Do you think it's worth buying these rights?" Theo asked for her opinion.
"It depends on how you want to manage the streaming service. If you want to steer the platform with only original works, we would have a slow beginning. But if we buy the rights for these newer anis, our initial success would be much bigger." Ryoko replied thoughtfully.
Theo thought for a while before he said, "How about we bring together the two sides? We can buy the rights for only one or two years. This way we can buy more ani rights and have a huge jump start. And when these contracts end one or two years later, we would already have produced our top-selling anis."
Ryoko's eyes lit up when she heard Theo's idea.
"It's brilliant, Theo! This way we can rely on others' anis in the initial phase, and when we launch our top-selling anis we will discard their anis and rely on just ourselves!" Ryoko said with an excited voice.
"So, is it doable?" Theo asked with a happy smile.
"Yes, I believe it's doable." Ryoko replied with certainty.
"Then I will send the 30 million at the end of January. You can already start searching and talking around to know the prices of the rights of the newer anis. You can choose everything, but choose anis that are at least 10 years old. Nothing younger or I believe that even with this money we won't be able to buy more than a few." Theo suggested.
Ryoko nodded and brainstord ideas of which and how many anis she would pick and choose.
The two of them talked for a while longer about the details of the operation before Theo bade goodbye to her.
He had lunch to prepare for his sister.
And Moonlight would perform that afternoon!
