I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Helena broke out of character when she heard the sound of clapping around her.

She was a little confused for a while because she went too deep into Annie's mind.

But when she realized that they were clapping because of her performance, Helena gave a genuine smile.

A smile that was not acted, a smile that showed her genuine happiness of being able to complete the performance.

Arthur and the crew were also clapping.

They have never seen someone so talented before in their entire lives.

Even in Catadrid, they never had seen an actress so good as Helena was.

They were beyond shocked.

How was she not famous yet?

That was all they could think when they saw everyone clapping.

After Billie's performance, they thought they had already found their lead actress.

They never imagined that a genius actress would show up somewhere far away from Catadrid.

"Thank you for this performance!" Arthur exclaimed with an appreciative smile.

"You're welcome." Helena replied with a calm smile.

Even though she was calm outside, she was euphoric inside.

"We will contact you afterward if you pass." Kanna said with a knowing smile.

"Sure, I will be waiting." Helena said confidently with a small smile as she started walking back.

She exited the coffee shop and took a deep breath.

'I did it!' She commemorated inwardly as she walked with confident steps toward the subway.

She did not have any doubts that she would get the part.

And everyone in the coffee shop knew that too.

The other actresses who were waiting to perform next had sad faces.

After seeing Helena's performance, they were sure that she would get the job.

But they were professional actresses, so they would not give up without trying.

Therefore, the auditions continued with the new actors arriving and performing.

The audition would last from 9 am until 3 pm.

And throughout this time tens of actors came to audition.

When it was 2:39 pm, there was only one candidate left to perform.

Most of the actors already performed.

"Thank you, we will contact you next if you pass." Kanna informed the young man who had just finished his performance.

"Okay, thank you." He replied with a hopeful voice as we walked out of the coffee shop.

"Hmm, the last one was good. But there are no actors as good as Helena was." Niwa commented.

"But that is asking too much. Helena is an absolute genius." Obara chimed in with shining eyes.

He became a fan of Helena already.

"Yeah, even someone who doesn't know much about production as myself knows that Helena is too good!" Ayia exclaimed with excited eyes.

She has been following the auditions since the beginning with Shizuka, and the purple-haired girl was having a blast.

It was so interesting watching these actors perform.

"See? Even Ayia-san agrees with me." Obara added.

"But we should at least find someone who can work with Helena without compromising the scenes, but so far no one fills the conditions." Arabella commented with a pondering look.

Arthur was silent as the crew discussed, he had to admit that he was ecstatic about having Helena in this project.

But he was also worried about not finding an actor good enough to perform with Helena.

They were discussing the candidates for the male role when someone entered the coffee shop.

He had a young and handsome face with black eyes and black hair.

He was somewhat handsome.

He looked around and started walking towards them when he saw the crew.

"Are the auditions still happening?" He asked with a nervous face.

Ishii Koichi's heart was beating loudly inside his chest.

Last night he went to sleep too late because he was practicing.

He woke up when it was already 11 am.

He still could make it to the auditions, but he received a call from the hospital to take his grandma there.

So, he did not have any other choice than take her there.

His grandma was more important than his dream.

When he got there it turned out they were just calling to check on her.

He delivered his grandma back home when it was already 2 pm.

Ishii knew that he could not take the subway because it would take more than 1 hour to arrive at the place of the audition from his house.

He lived in some old apartments on the outskirts of the city.

So, he took a cab to arrive faster.

It took more than 40 minutes for him to arrive.

And the cab bill was so expensive that he had to pay with saved money for emergencies.

But he did not hesitate to do it because this was his last chance to realize his dream.

That's why he arrived so late and his nervous demeanor.

"You're lucky. It did not end yet." Arthur replied with a smile.

'Maybe this is the guy that we are looking for.' He thought.

But he was not much optimistic about it.

"You can give us your resume and we will give you the script for you to memorize." Arabella said with a professional voice.

"Yes, yes, sure!" Ishii replied with an ecstatic face as he handed his resumé.

He took the script and sat on a seat by the side.

Ishii read the script over and over again.

Rhys was the male character he had to play.

There were two scenes in the script.

In the first one, Rhys would meet Annie and he would fall in love with her at first sight, he would try to flirt with her and make her laugh.

In the second scene, Rhys would desperately try to keep Annie, he would cry, he would shout, he would be cold, but in the end, he would find out that no matter what he did Annie would not go back in her decision to break up.

15 minutes after Ishii got the script, he stood up and walked toward the crew.

"You can start whenever you're ready." Arthur said with an encouraging smile.

Ishii nodded nervously as he took position and closed his eyes.

The crew was a little worried because Ishii was the most nervous candidate so far.

But they still waited patiently.

'I can do this! There are no crowds anymore!' He said inwardly as Rhys started to show up.

Ishii had the same transformation that Helena had.

​ His demeanor changed as magnetic energy attracted the attention of the audience.

When opened his eyes, he was not Ishii anymore.

He was Rhys!

The crew was stunned when they saw Ishii's transformation.

And they became even more as he played the scenes.

Rhys was in the Tulip Coffee Shop at that moment as he flirted with Annie with shining eyes that showed that had just fallen in love with her.

Rhys was there when he cried and took his knees to beg Annie to leave him.

Rhys was shouting at Annie threatening her to not go.

And he was also there he just stood in place with a lost face as he realized that the love of his life had gone away.

Ishii's performance was as good as Helena's.

The same silence that proceeded with Helena's performance also happened when he finished the last scene.

And the clapping from everyone in the coffee shop also happened for a second time that day.

Ishii was lost for a second when he heard them clapping.

But he gave brilliant smile when he notice that they clapping at him.

'I did it!' He thought triumphantly.

He was ecstatic to see that he gave his best.

The crew was clapping with faces that showed astonishment.

They never thought that another genius would show up.

They were certain that this day would be the day two people would soar.

And the two of them would reach places reserved only for the greatest.
