Chapter 16: Public Opinion on Both Sides (Seeking Recommendation) (Revised)

"Honey, have you read today's paper?" asked Kissty softly to Severn on the phone.

"Well, I see. Severn put down a few newspapers in his hand and sat down on the sofa in the villa.

"Really?" asked Kissty cautiously.

"Hmm. Severn replied.

"Oh~, God, did you really sign that VAM agreement with EMI?" said Kitty on the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter, you don't have confidence in your husband?" Severn teased, a conversation that was originally quite serious, and the atmosphere was destroyed in an instant, and Kitty's hanging heart on the other end of the phone gradually relaxed.

"Phew, who said you're my husband?" said Kitty, shyly.

"Oh, who called me that in bed that night?"

"Hmph~, it's not me anyway!" Kisty snorted.

"Are you sure your album will sell 100 million copies? Honey, I'm not suspicious of you, but ........ You know, now the record industry has started to decline. Kisty thought about the wording, then said.

Severn got up, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the lights of Notting Hill, heard Kitty's concern, and explained with a smile: "That's why I want to capture this last glory!"

"And you also helped me record the MV for "Baby" that day, you should know the quality of that song, it will definitely be a big hit, you can rest assured. ”

"Well, no matter what you do, I've got your back. Kissy said softly, she is now more and more accepting of Severn's girlfriend, and she is thinking about Severn no matter what she does.

"Well, when I've taken care of these chores, I'll find time to pick you up. Severn said that Severn didn't pick up Kissty last night, he was still dragged to the Jackpot Bar by Joe Sonna, and he didn't know how he came back in the end.

"Well, I love you darling, bye~"

"Bye-bye. ”

Severn hung up the phone, looked at the several newspapers placed on the coffee table, and rubbed his forehead with a wry smile. After a night of fermentation, the news reported in the newspapers of the whole London today was all about Severn's bet with EMI.

"A Gamble That Shocked the World – A Stunning Gamble by Genius Writer Severn Spencer and EMI!"

This is the title of The Times, and because The Times is the number one mainstream newspaper in Britain and its increasingly conservative style, the description of Severn is quite pertinent.

"Severn Spencer became a world-class writer in one fell swoop because of the Da Vinci Code, and was hailed as a once-in-a-century 'genius writer' in Britain.

But it didn't take long for RB to receive the news that Severn Spencer actually signed a shocking gambling agreement with EMI: 100 million album sales against 100 million pounds!

When I first received this news, the newspaper was in an uproar, but after a specific understanding, it was found that Severn Spencer's album is of extremely high quality, according to EMI's music director himself, this album is very likely to sell 100 million sales, maybe we will witness the rise of another music pop king!

.........

Whatever the outcome, at least Severn Spencer's album has received a lot of attention, and we'll continue to follow it. β€”The Times

Maybe it's because of Severn's background, or maybe maybe they did get in touch with EMI's top management, but their coverage is pretty good.

The Guardian, on the other hand, praised Severn vigorously, with a tendency to praise Severn to the sky.

"Genius writer speaks to music: album sales vow to exceed 100 million!"

It is reported that the genius writer Severn Spencer recorded an album, and because of EMI's contempt, he signed a gambling agreement with EMI: 100 million album sales and 100 million pounds!

........

We see Severn Spencer's strong confidence, not afraid of secular rumors, and dare to speak out to authority! We also believe that Severn Spencer's album sales will definitely exceed 100 million!

After all, Severn Spencer has already created a sales miracle in front of us, hasn't he?"

The majority of the Guardian's audience is young people, so the Guardian knows what young people like to watch now, so it praised Severn as a "young genius" in its report, creating an image of a teenager who "dares to speak out to authority", which resonated with a considerable number of young people.

As for the "Sun", it was like a chicken blood, and seized the news to criticize Severn violently.

"The 'genius writer' who can't help himself: Severn Spencer"

The irony in the title is very strong.

It is reported that Severn Spencer, who became famous for "The Da Vinci Code" some time ago, actually boasted in front of the record industry giant EMI, saying that his album could sell 100 million sales!

........

Young people don't grow up without going through the wind and rain, and I hope that this time Severn Spencer can remember it for a long time, and he will write his own book first!"

The Sun has never had a sense of discipline, so it satirized Severn in its reporting, completely ignoring the Spencer family behind Severn. But it is precisely because of this undisciplined behavior that it has the best newspaper sales!

This also led to the fact that the image of genius that Severn had just created in the minds of the British people some time ago fell into a trough and became a bad boy who did not know the height of the sky.

In the next few days, two camps were formed in the British public opinion circles, one was the newspaper headed by the "Guardian", which did its best to praise Severn, believing that Severn embodied the kind of vitality of young people, and we should believe that young people can create miracles again!

Newspapers such as The Daily Telegraph and the Daily Mail praised Severn.

Because the "Daily Mail" focuses on the female route, Severn is portrayed as a dream-chasing teenager, even if he is covered in bruises, he will not flinch! Severn has attracted infinite sympathy in the hearts of British housewives and aroused their maternal love, so Severn has harvested the first batch, "mother powder".

The other camp is the newspaper led by the "Sun", including the "Daily Mirror", "Daily Express" and other newspapers, which satirized Severn as worthless, and Severn was smashed by them before he could sit firmly on the altar.

Newspapers such as The Times and The Independent are neutral and biased towards Severn, while high-end newspapers such as the Financial Times are neutral and biased towards the EMI side.

In short, this war of public opinion has completely affected the whole of the United Kingdom, and countless newspapers have participated in it, and there is no complete neutrality, and in order to attract people's attention, various headlines have emerged one after another, and public opinion has become completely polarized.

This public opinion quickly spread to the whole of Europe, and then the European newspaper industry exploded, and all of them were not optimistic about Severn, especially Italy, and even devalued Severn again and again.

"Ignorant little brat"

"Reptiles in Hell"

β€œ.......”

gave Severn one nickname after another, vowing to completely erase Severn's achievements some time ago!

Since then, this public opinion has spread around the world, completely igniting the enthusiasm of people all over the world, whether it is the United States or China, whether it is in the streets or in the fields, people are talking about Severn, of course, it is all negative information.

Anyway, he is not optimistic about Severn, thinking that Severn has just achieved a little bit and is floating, blinded by fame and fortune.

RB's Asahi Shimbun also took pains to report a news article titled "The 'Genius' of the World", which analyzed why Severn made such a stupid bet with EMI in terms of politics, economics, and culture.

The final conclusion: RB people are the most NB........

In short, public opinion has completely escaped the control of Severn and EMI, and is going further and further under the traction of the shameless media in Britain.

But no matter what the outside world says about Severn, anyway, Severn has not stepped out of the door of his villa in the past few days, and lives a shameless life with Kissy every day.

Finally, a phone call shatters the life of Severn's polar rule.
