Chapter 36: Chapter 35: The Explosive New Song as

There are many data standards that No. 1 Fly can use to quantitatively evaluate the market response to a song.
Retention rate, the completeness of listening, the single cycle ratio, the number of comments, the number of reposts, and so on.
Of course, No. 1 Fly does not disclose this data to the public, and Harrison Clark is not very concerned.
He only followed the comments and the number of song requests changes after the new song was released.
There were five new songs released at the same time as Boring, and Boring is the only one that received a Tire 2 Contract support.
It seemed to be No. 1 Fly’s deliberate operation, making Boring perfectly avoid the new works of big-name artists and become the strongest at the same time. Relying on the effect of the previous crazy hype, the gimmick of being the most mysterious newcomer in history has whetted the appetite of the fans. Since its official release, the number of comments and plays of Boring have left all other songs far behind.
This, of course, was the expected outcome. After all, Boring occupied so many resources. If it still couldn’t make a hit, it would be a waste of Harrison Clark’s arduous efforts to bring this song back from a thousand years later.
At half-past twelve, the number of comments reached more than 1,500, which was higher than the sum of the other four new songs released at the same time.
At the same time, the number of plays easily exceeded 20,000, also crushing the total of those four songs.
An employee from No. 1 Fly’s copyright department called to congratulate Harrison Clark, telling him that in this half hour, the user’s overall listening completeness was as high as 91.87%.
This data broke the record of this year and also shattered the ceiling of all rookies and their new songs in No. 1 Fly’s history.
Harrison Clark stood up from his chair, stretched lazily, and snapped off his computer with a backhand.
This broken computer was really uncomfortable to use, as it took thirty seconds to respond when opening No. 1 Fly. It was better to use the phone. He took out his phone and found that Carrie Thomas had already sent him a WeChat message at some point.
This was rare.
Carrie Thomas said.
“Someone from No. 1 Fly just called to say ‘Boring’ is going to be a hit, have you seen the situation? I now refresh the comments section every ten seconds, these people really know how to praise.”
Harrison Clark smiled.
From these words, one can see the naivety of Carrie Thomas at the moment. Now she would still be elated or saddened by the opinions of others. In a few years, she would become numb to all this and, apart from her own persistence and pursuit, cannot fit any other emotions in her mind.
Harrison Clark casually replied, “Stay calm, it’s all within expectations.” “Okay!” Carrie Thomas replied instantly.
Putting down his phone, Harrison Clark quietly clenched his fist.
Yes, it’s time to make money.
The revenue share of the traffic fee given by No. i Fly to both of them was divided 50-50. After deducting taxes, the two received 30-70.
Harrison got 70%, Carrie got 30%.
According to this trend, this month, Harrison Clark could get a six-figure traffic revenue share. It’s only uncertain what number it will start with. Finally having income, Harrison Clark felt emboldened.
Now he’s really like the saying Eric Mitchell gave him before, he can leave whenever he wants, with no worries.
But Harrison Clark has no intention of pleasing the other party. His attitude and behavior have not changed at all from the past. Changes are in his heart, suddenly his mentality has become somewhat detached and sees through the world.
The ludicrous acts of Eric Mitchell and Linden Brown in fighting for small profits is now amusing to him.
In Spotify Top’s copyright department office, another person with the last name Brown, Lewis Brown, was looking at the computer monitor with an iron-blue face.
He had slightly high blood pressure.
The screen showed No. 1 Fly’s music player.
Enemies always know you best.
As soon as there was a big move from No. 1 Fly, Spotify Top immediately heard some news.
When Lewis Brown saw the promotional materials of No. 1 Fly’s mysterious newcomer, he had a faint feeling that things were getting fishy.
Later, not only did he arrange for someone to call Carrie Thomas, but he also called her personally several times. However, Carrie didn’t answer them. When he changed his number and called, she would answer. But as soon as she recognized his voice, or he stated his intentions, Carrie would hang up immediately.
At first, she would use an excuse to stall, but later she simply stopped giving any reasons and hung up directly.
Now the mystery has been revealed.
No wonder Carrie’s attitude suddenly made a 180-degree turn. Lewis Brown’s previous guesses were correct-Carrie really found a new company.
But Lewis Brown could never have imagined that Carrie would go to No. i Fly.
And No. 1 Fly actually gave her a Tire 2 Contract.
Lewis Brown couldn’t understand what was happening in this world.
Isn’t No. 1 Fly always into big names?
How could they possibly give such treatment to a newcomer like Carrie Thomas?
After inquiring from No. i Fly, Lewis Brown finally understood the causes and consequences of the matter, and he felt so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood.
He was tricked!
No wonder she suddenly changed her mind and didn’t sign the contract. She even hypocritically said she was going back to her hometown. In fact, she just wanted to get a contract from him.
The special edition Tire 2 Contract she provided for Carrie Thomas was used as capital for bargaining with No. 1 Fly!
And she got it!
It was outrageous! Shameless!
Do you think you are really worth a Tire 2 Contract?
I was going to f*cking kill you with that!
There must be a wise man behind Carrie Thomas who came up with this move.
Damn!
At this thought, Lewis Brown got even more upset.
After a while, his phone rang, and he picked it up to see the screen.
Eric Mitchell.
“Brother Lin, what’s the deal with Carrie Thomas’s new song?”
Even through the phone, Lewis Brown could hear the pent-up anger in Eric Mitchell.
“I’m not clear about the situation either. I gave her very favorable conditions, but she had no intention of talking to me at all.”
Lewis Brown really didn’t want to admit the truth.
He knew Eric Mitchell very well.
Even if his intention was to do a good job for him, the end result indirectly helped Carrie Thomas.
For this young master with a narrow-minded attitude, this time his favor didn’t go well, and it would be remembered by him instead.
As they talked about various things for a while, Eric Mitchell hung up the phone with an unhappy heart.
Lewis Brown sighed with relief, but not long after, his boss called him over.
BOSS pointed at the comments page of “Boring” and said, “This is a new song just released by No. 1 Fly, and it has already become a smash hit. As far as I know, this artist contacted us first, right? She is also a local from Oxfordshire. How did she go to No. 1 Fly? Give me an explanation.”
Facing his boss’s questioning, Lewis Brown was speechless for a long time.
He made a bitter face, took out the contract faxed to Carrie Thomas and said, “Boss, look at the contract I gave Carrie Thomas. I really did my best. She won’t sign this and insists on going to No. 1 Fly. There’s nothing I can do.”
The boss glanced at it briefly and nodded, “The contract you gave is indeed very generous..”
