Chapter 270 Teaching And Evaluating
Recording Studio, Pedrarruna Manor.
"The name of the song that we will sing is 'Save Your Tears'." Theo said to Aurora when they arrived in the room.
"Open the message I sent you and you'll see the song lyrics." He added with a smile.
"Okay." Aurora replied as she took her phone from her pocket.
Shortly after, Aurora was reading the lyrics of the song.
Theo just observed her as she studied the lyrics.
Then he suddenly remembered that this song had two versions in his past life.
The original was sung by the Weeknd.
And the duet version was sung by the Weeknd and Ariana Grande.
Theo chose this song because the duet version of this song was one of his favorite songs.
But Theo knew that the lyrics of the two versions were a little different.
The duet version was released after the original version was released.
So, it is reasonable that the lyrics of the original version were modified to make the duet version better.
But in Theo's opinion, the lyrics of the original version were better.
That's why he took the original version and modified the lyrics himself to make his duet version with Aurora perfect.
"Let me sing the song for you to see how it's done." Theo said when he saw that she finished reading the lyrics.
"Yay! Sing for me, Big Brother!" Aurora exclaimed with an excited voice.
She loved hearing her brother singing.
She would never grow tired of it.
Theo just smiled as he took an acoustic guitar for him to play while he sang.
Aurora observed as he took position and prepared to sing the song.
Her eyes shone with excitement.
Suddenly, Theo's fingers touched the guitar strings.
The distinctive melody of 'Save Your Tears' was played by his skillful fingers.
And as soon as he started singing, Aurora was enchanted by it.
He was so good that Aurora almost forgot the objective of why Theo was singing for her.
For her to hear how the song should be sung.
When Theo finished singing, he looked at her and smiled, "How was it? Did you memorize it?"
"Hmm, I did. But I still have some doubts, Big Brother." Aurora replied with a pondering face.
"No problem. You ask me anything you want, and I will answer it." Theo said with a loving smile.
The siblings then started reviewing the song together.
Aurora asked about the doubts she had, and Theo answered them with all the patience in the world.
They discussed the song for almost one hour before Aurora said that she did not have any doubts left.
"I should go back to studying, Big Brother. Thank you so much for teaching me!" Aurora exclaimed with a sweet smile on her face.
"Everything for you, Cupcake." Theo smiled and patted her head.
"Even though you don't have class tomorrow. Don't go to bed late, okay?" He said as he kissed her forehead.
"Okay, Big Brother!" She replied as she hugged him.
Because Theo would spend the night working, it was very unlikely that he would be able to see her before she went to sleep.
So, they said good night to each other before Aurora left the studio.
When Theo saw that Aurora left already, he sat in front of his computer and opened the file that Ryoko sent him a few hours ago.
It was time to judge the test of the sound effects team!
"Sylph, did you compile the surveillance footage of the candidates working today?" Theo asked as he started reading the quiz answers of the candidates.
"Yes, Master! Every candidate has a compiled video showing how they worked today." She replied promptly.
Theo nodded as he continued reading their answers.
He wanted these compiled videos to inspect how these people worked.
If he saw anything amiss in any of them, he would not hire them.
He did the same thing with animators, but their compiled video was from 5 days of work.
And it was through these videos that Theo and Ryoko were able to identify the candidates who had outrageous behaviors detrimental to his studio.
But these videos that Sylph compiled today were from less than a day of work.
But Theo was not worried about the short duration of it.
That was because these 30 people worked together for years, and they did not a problem with each other.
It was very unlikely that any of them would show outrageous behaviors.
But Theo wanted to make sure of his assumption, so he ordered Sylph to compile the footage that she recorded of them throughout the day.
A while later, Theo finished reading the quiz answers and nodded as he noted down their answers and what he thought of them.
This quiz's objective was to assess what the candidates thought.
And so far, Theo did not see any strange answers.
All candidates seemed to be serious about their jobs.
"Now it's time to watch the animations." Theo commented out loud with shining eyes.
When he saw these animations for the first time when he was judging the animators' projects, Theo had a desire to watch these animations with sound effects.
And now he was finally going to see them!
He had high expectations for these animations, as he clicked to play button to watch the first animation.
Theo had his headphone on, so he could hear everything in high definition.
And as soon as he played the video, the heard the sound of a forest.
Suddenly the screen showed a bee on top of a flower, and Theo could distinctively hear the buzz of the bee pollinating the flower.
The 'camera' zoomed out and Theo was able to see a forest, and he heard a cacophony of sounds.
The sounds sounded so chaotic, but at the same time, they had harmony.
Theo felt like he was in that forest as he watched the beautiful animation and heard the forest sounds.
When Theo finished watching the animation, his eyes shone.
This was the work of a genius!
Producing the sound effects of this animation was one of the hardest among all the 30 animations chosen for the assignment today.
That's why Theo gave this animation to one of the former bosses of the Grotto Sound Studio, Kido Emina.
Theo wanted to see if she was indeed talented enough for him to pay her debts.
And he was not disappointed.
She was a genius in what she worked at!
All the sounds were perfectly replicated.
The sound of the bee, the footsteps of the animals on the ground, the wind, and so on.
"Sylph, show me her compiled video." He asked.
He needed to see it first before he took the decision to hire her.
As soon as he said that, a video started playing on the computer screen.
Theo watched the video with focused eyes.
And when he finished watching it, he smiled happily.
He saw that Emina spent the whole day working, she didn't even have lunch!
That was how focused she was on her job.
At that moment, Theo did not have any more doubts.
Emina was the first to pass the test.
Tomorrow she would receive the news that the Tkyo Studios wanted to hire her.
Theo closed her compiled video and started watching the animations from the other candidates.
He inspected everything with a critical eye.
But when he finished watching everything, Theo could not contain his excitement.
The 30 candidates did an amazing job and no one showed any odd behaviors!
His studio was finally complete now!
Theo could not wait for this team of talented sound engineers and designers to work on his animes.
