I am the Entertainment Tycoon

To understand what will happen, we have to go back to the night before.

The Elffire Acting Association building was located right next to the theatre's city square.

Saint Alma's City Square was where all of the renowned theaters from Elffirre City were located.

If someone wanted to watch a good play, they would come to this square.

All types of play productions were performed all year round.

As the capital of the Bluecorn State, the city received all types of visitors throughout the year and adding the city's citizens, the plays had enough audience to produce a vibrant theatre scene.

And the acting association was located in this square to provide help and organization to the actors working in the square.

If there were a new production looking for actors, the producers would post a cast calling in the association, the actors would see the calling then.

And if someone was interested in the cast, they would audition for the roles.

And that was exactly what Ayia did, she posted a cast calling in the association about two roles.

One male and one female.

They had to be over 20 yo and less than 35 yo.

Arthur did not have any preferences about their looks.

He just wanted two good actors with chemistry on screen.

The announcement of the casting call was posted in the association chat groups in the afternoon and immediately attracted the attention of the actors.

After all, this gig would pay 5k for them to shoot just some scenes!

They usually got this amount of money to act throughout the entire month on the plays' productions.

That was easy money!

All actors who were not acting at any plat at the moment decided to give it a go.

Even though they only had acting experience in plays, they were not worried about acting in front of cameras.

They were all professional after all.

Among the actors interested there were two actors in particular, who looked at this casting call as if it was their last chance.

Ishii Koichi was 22 years old, he had nice features and could be considered handsome with his black hair and black eyes.

He had a dream to be an actor.

Ever since he graduated from high school, he auditioned for roles in plays at Saint Alma's Square.

At first, he was really popular with the producers.

He had nice features and he aced the auditions.

Ishii was able to get the lead role in his first audition, he rehearsed with the rest of the cast for months before the play's opening night arrived.

Everyone was ready, they rehearsed hundreds of times and everyone knew their lines as if it was the back of their hands.

But Ishii had a problem that he omitted from everyone.

He was extremely shy and terrified of crowded places!

Ishii figured he could pass over that, but he did not.

When he saw the hundreds of people looking at him, he froze.

It was as if he forgot everything he knew.

He became pale and mute for over an hour.

The play was temporarily paused to take Ishii out off the stage, the producers thought that he was feeling sick, so Ishii's substitute entered to play the role for the rest of that night.

The producers thought that Ishii would come back as amazing as he was in the rehearsals the next night, but Ishii froze again.

And they finally understood what happened.

Ishii was then substituted permanently for the rest of the performances.

He was destroyed when he got the news.

His dream was escaping through his fingers because of his fear.

Ishii still tried auditioning for other plays, but because of his history, he could only get support roles.

But every time he got on the stage in front of the hundreds of people, he still froze.

It has been four years since he graduated from high school and tried pursuing an acting career but it has been 1 year since he was able to get a role in a play.

No one wanted an actor who couldn't perform on stage.

Ishii knew that the solution was for him to act in front of cameras, but for him to do that he had to go to Catadrid.

Elffire City did not have any studios shooting movies or series like Catadrid, they only had the theaters.

But Ishii could not leave Elffire City, he lived alone with his grandma.

She was too old to move to another city, and leaving her alone was not an option.

He did not want to leave her alone in her last years.

Therefore, when Ishii saw the casting call for a video, he had hopeful eyes.

It was his last chance!

He had to give blood and sweat to pass the audition!

Ishii started practicing acting as soon as he saw the notice.

While Ishii had hopeful eyes, a girl in another part of the city had the same hopeful eyes.

Helena Lobo was 20 years old, and she was absolutely beautiful.

She had curly brown hair, green eyes, a stunning face, an attractive body, and beautiful dark bronze skin.

She had a dream to be an actress.

She grew up seeing the amazing movies and series that S.A. produced, and it became her obsession to become an actress.

When she graduated from high school two years ago, she decided to audition for roles in plays at Saint Alma's Square.

Although what she really wanted was to go to Catadrid to follow her dream, her parents were too protective of her.

They said they would only let her go if she became a renowned actress in Elffire City.

So, she had no other option other than audition for roles in Elffire City.

But something happened that shattered her dreams.

When she auditioned for her first role, she was amazing and by far the best candidate.

She was hired to take the main role in the play, but one day later she got the call that she was demoted to a support role.

She couldn't understand what happened, it was only one week later that she learned the truth.

It seemed that one of the directors of the acting association did not like people from other ethnicities taking main roles.

He only wanted people from Sakura Abode to take these roles.

Helena was devasted, she could not believe that her dream was broken because of her skin color.

Helena's parents were immigrants who came to Sakura Abode when they were teenagers, but Helena was a full-fledged Sakura Abode citizen because she was born in the country.

Even though the country had zero tolerance for racism, people still practiced it hiddenly.

The director was not afraid of being denounced, he was the boss after all.

Starting from there, Helena was only able to get small supporting roles in the plays she auditioned for, even though she was the best actress there.

It had been two years since everything started, and Helena was about to give up on her dream.

She felt extremely sorrowful and heartbroken.

But when she was about to give up, she saw the casting call for a video.

She was curious about it, so she tapped to see the details of it.

And when she saw it, her eyes shone with excitement.

There was hope!

The video production was not affiliated with the acting association, so the association could not interfere with the casting!

Helena looked at this casting call with a face full of determination.

She had to get this role no matter what!

Her dream was dependent on that.

If she could show her parents how good an actress she was, they might let her go to Catadrid.

She knew that there she would not be discriminated against because of her skin color.

After all, there were tons of famous actors there with all types of skin colors.

Helena started practicing her acting skills as if her life depended on it.

Ishii and Helena had their last chances.

But would they be able to get the roles?
