Lewis Brown nodded repeatedly: “Yeah, she doesn’t give any face. Newcomers nowadays are so difficult to deal with.”
“It’s not that the newcomers are difficult to deal with now. There will always be newcomers who are easy to deal with, but they are usually not very useful. The capable ones who can make money for the company, who would be easy to deal with?”
Lewis Brown nodded helplessly.
“Your contract this time is so good and still gets rejected, there must be a problem with your communication attitude, go back and reflect on it.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Upon leaving the BOSS’S office, Lewis Brown gritted his teeth angrily, feeling countless grievances in his chest that could not be vented.
After Eric Mitchell hung up on Lewis Brown’s call, he started smashing things like crazy in his own office.
Even his confidant couldn’t understand where his anger came from.
It was just a small matter, why was Eric so furious?
The confidant wanted to persuade him to calm down, but he knew it was useless.
Eric has money, so it doesn’t matter if things are broken, just let him smash enough.
“Arrange for Old Dunbar’s agency to actively contact her. Sign her and crush her to death. No one has ever offended me and managed to live carefree afterward!”
The confidant was about to dissuade him.
Now that the situation has escalated, trying to deal with others would take a lot of effort, so why not let it go?
But in the end, the confidant didn’t say anything.
Before leaving work in the afternoon, Harrison Clark checked the data of “Boring” briefly.
A horrifying situation occurred.
At this point there were already 50,000 comments, and the number of views on the scene exceeded one million!
The number of paid downloads for lossless quality versions was actually over 80,000!
According to No. 1 Fly’s charging standards, these 80,000 downloads are at least equivalent to earning more than 14,000 dollars for Harrison Clark!
It’s only been half a day!
Is money that easy to earn?
What’s going on?
He opened Twitter and asked the customer representative responsible for communicating with him, and finally got a rough idea of the situation.
The initial wave of data was already considered explosive by No. 1 Fly’s data department.
But it was all within reason, as a lot of promotion resources were invested beforehand, so it was natural to have such a sensational effect.
Under normal circumstances, the potential audience accumulated by the initial promotion would be quickly digested within the first hour.
Afterward, the growth of the song’s data would slightly slow down.
If it’s a good song, it could slowly rise again after the word of mouth has fermented.
If the song is of average quality, the various data will gradually decline after the initial explosive growth.
Besides these regular trends, the data change of a song can also be affected by many factors.
Posts from big Vs, licensed broadcasts on well-known radio stations, and many other reasons can cause data fluctuations.
The performance of “Boring” today can only be explained by the fact that the phenomenon of netizens spontaneously acting as water suppliers is too strong.
One to ten, ten to a hundred, a hundred to a thousand, a thousand to ten thousand, and as the influence spreads like a tornado, an unstoppable public opinion storm is formed.
No. 1 Fly, as a top platform in the country, is not short of good songs in the ordinary sense. In the past, there were good songs that got similar data curves, but none of them were as fierce as this song.
“Mr. Clark, check Twitter quickly, the heat is really frightening. It’s a total explosion all over the internet!” The customer representative of No. 1 Fly said in the chat.
Harrison Clark opened Twitter and saw that it was true. In just one afternoon, the popularity of “Boring” had quickly skyrocketed to the top 20 in the entire network.
It’s only been half a day!
Harrison Clark clicked on the trending topics, and the comments were overwhelmingly positive.
Throughout the section, there were rave reviews, and people were moved to tears by listening to it, etc.
Among the comments of many netizens, there were also in-depth reviews from many well-known music critics.
In short, they were praising from various angles and styles, even better than Harrison Clark’s own praise.
Harrison Clark was amazed by what he saw.
Although he had known from the beginning that this song would be a hit, things still went beyond his expectations.
Carrie Thomas’ position in the ancient martial arts world has stood the test of time, and he has cleared all obstacles for her, so the success of “Boring” is inevitable.
He didn’t expect it to become such a hit so quickly.
In the long river of time, every pebble’s placement follows an unchanging rule.
A slight change can cause turbulent waves in the era.
In the past, Harrison Clark’s view of changes in the times was limited to his personal surroundings.
To see the changes clearly, he had to enter his dreams and probe “history” by reading Carrie Thomas’ biography thousands of years later.
But from now on, he doesn’t have to do that anymore.
From today, he can be sure that every day in history will be brand new.”Harrison Clark, aren’t you leaving after work?”
As he was engrossed in reading, a sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind him.
It was Linden Brown speaking.
Harrison shook his chair and turned his body, “Is it not okay for me to voluntarily work overtime?”
Linden glanced at the computer monitor, “Do you call this working overtime?”
Harrison looked back, the CRT monitor was still displaying the Twitter page.
“Yes, I am working overtime. What about it?”
“Do you think I’m blind?”
“As an employee of an internet company, keeping up with the times and checking Twitter to understand popular trends is not a problem, right?”
Linden became confused by his sophistry.
“Stop trying to talk your way out of it! You use the company’s electricity to browse Twitter, and I won’t allow it! Tsk, just look at what you’re browsing! Celebrities? New songs? Oh, I didn’t expect Harrison Clark to be a fan. Let me see, who is it? Carrie Thomas? Who is that? I’ve never heard of her. What kind of minor character is this? Can’t you follow some decent celebrities?”
Linden deliberately raised his voice, aiming to embarrass Harrison.
Unexpectedly, before Harrison could respond, a discordant voice sounded from elsewhere.
“Mr. Brown, don’t be like that. Although Carrie Thomas is a newcomer, she’s really amazing. If you’ve heard her songs, you’ll understand. They’re really good.”
The person who stood up for Harrison was Sophia Camp, who hadn’t left yet.
Linden glared at her, thinking that she was being too talkative.
Sophia seemed unsatisfied, “The song was released today at noon, and already over a million people have listened to it. There are people discussing the song all over Twitter.”
Linden was slightly surprised, “It became popular in just an afternoon?”
Sophia raised her head, with a strong sense of pride for her idol, “Yes! I heard she’s from Oxfordshire, just last month she was a resident singer at a bar there, but she’s always been persistent about her dreams. She’s had a really tough journey. Now that she’s finally popular, as someone from Oxfordshire too, we should support her.”
Harrison listened to the conversation, feeling speechless.
Carrie Thomas used to be a resident singer, and this would definitely be dug up by people.
After all, there were so many audiences in every nightclub, someone would have recorded a video, which would serve as hard evidence.
However, nothing about this was worth hiding, as it wasn’t anything shameful.
Harrison just didn’t expect that within half a day, netizens were building a complete character backstory for Carrie Thomas, complete with touching details.
Only God knows how many touching details were added by the people who created this story.
Harrison wanted to say that Carrie Thomas had indeed persisted.
But she didn’t have a hard time!
She clearly won without doing much!
If it weren’t for me writing songs for her…
Wait, it seems like she wrote the song herself?
Harrison’s logic got a little stuck here.
He decided not to think about the philosophical question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.
On the other side, Linden finally felt a little embarrassed by Sophia’s words, but he was still relentless, “Stop talking nonsense, I have no interest in these artists. Who knows how dirty and filthy the so-called stars are underneath their glamorous appearance.”
Sophia argued, “Not everyone is like that!”
Linden glared at Sophia fiercely, “Don’t act like you’re not convinced. Everyone knows what I’m saying is the truth! She used to be a nightclub singer, and she’s had a tough time? If she didn’t do dirty things, could she have become famous overnight? You only see the surface they show you; can anyone let you know how many bedsheets she’s rolled in just to become famous?”
“You…”
Not to mention Sophia, even the onlookers in the crowd couldn’t stand it any longer.
However, they only showed expressions of dissatisfaction and didn’t come forward to join the conversation.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
Harrison suddenly pushed his chair, stood up from his seat.
Then, there was a crisp and pleasant sound.
Slap!
The sound echoed repeatedly in the slightly empty office hall after work hours.
Looking at the scene, the onlookers opened their mouths wide, enlarged their pupils and could hardly believe what they saw.
He’s gone mad!
Sophia, who had just been arguing most fiercely with Linden, covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror.
The sudden change left her dumbfounded.
At this time, Linden was holding his face.
Half of it was red from the slap, and the other half was pale, unsure if it was from pain or anger.
“You… You dare to hit me? You slapped me?”
Linden screamed hysterically.
Harrison lifted his hand, “Sorry, I just had a sudden itch and couldn’t control my hand..”
