Chapter 36: The Album Finally Breaks 50 Million (Ask for Recommendation) (Revision)
Two weeks went by in the blink of an eye, and during those two weeks, Severn was essentially going back and forth between his Notting Hill villa and his studio on Euston Road.
After two weeks of precipitation, the number of Facebook downloads finally exceeded 500,000, and all major universities in the UK were taken by Severn.
Facebook's current users are mainly young people, including college students, and most of them are Severn fans.
At this point, the number of Facebook downloads has reached a saturation point, first, the population base of the UK is already small; Second, after two weeks of advertising, those who are interested in Facebook have already downloaded and registered, and those who are not interested will naturally not be bothered.
Of course, Severn is already very satisfied with this result, at least now there are advertisers who have taken a fancy to the number of Facebook users and want to advertise on Facebook.
Although they are all small and unknown companies, at least Severn has taken the first step solidly.
During these two weeks, Abt also recruited a few people to join the studio, making the division of labor in the studio more detailed, which also made Severn more convenient to manage.
Although the situation is very good, Severn can't talk about how good it is in his heart, sitting alone in the boss's chair, rubbing his temples with a wry smile and saying:
"Money~"
In the past two weeks, more than a million pounds have been spent, mainly for advertising and office equipment, and as the number of Facebook users has increased, the requirements for computer equipment have also increased, and Severn has had to spend money to buy a new set of more advanced equipment.
"Now count on my album to live." Severn leaned back in his leather chair and said, he hadn't looked at the sales of his album during this time, but he didn't think it would be too bad.
Severn picked up his mobile phone and was about to call Tom Reeves, but he didn't think about it, he called himself, Severn didn't hesitate, pressed the answer button, and tapped the desk with his left finger and said:
"Tom, I hope you've brought me good news on this call."
"Hahaha, Master Severn, how do you know?" Tom Reeves on the other end of the phone was obviously in a good mood, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone.
However, Severn was not in the mood to beat around the bush with Tom Reeves, and said directly: "Tell me, what is the specific good news?" ”
"Congratulations, Master Severn, your album has just broken 100 million!" Tom Reeves excitedly said that although the album has just sold more than 100 million, it is not comparable to those world's top singers, but it is enough to make people crazy.
You know, Severn is only eighteen years old this year, and "Faded" is only his first album! Anyone can predict what Severn will achieve in the future, and it will be limitless!
Now Tom Reeves has only one thought in his mind, and that is to quickly sign Severn and tie him to EMI's chariot.
And after hearing Tom Reeves's words, Severn's nervous mentality due to poor capital turnover was also relaxed, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief:
"That's good........"
There was no sense of surprise as expected, and Severn only felt a sense of relief at this point.
"Master Severn, our chairman has asked you to come to the EMI headquarters tonight, and we are already preparing a celebration reception for you." Tom Reeves didn't notice the change in Severn's heart, and he warmly invited Severn.
"Okay, I'll be here tonight." Severn exhaled a light breath of turbid air.
"Okay, then we'll see you tonight."
"See you tonight."
After hanging up the phone, Severn sat on the leather chair in a daze, looking up at the ceiling, his eyes were empty, and he didn't think of anything in his heart, and at this time his heart felt a long-lost peace.
In the previous life, Severn was not a person who dared to gamble so wildly, and the reason why he chose to bet against EMI was that he had the urge to be a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers; The second is that he is eager to succeed; The third is that he felt that everything in front of him was not so real, as if he was living in his sleep, so he became bolder.
But by this time Severn had come to terms with his current life, but the bet with EMI hung over his head like a sharp sword, and although he knew he could win, he didn't like the feeling.
Now, the gambling contract is over, and Severn can finally swallow his heart in his stomach.
Abt and the others naturally noticed Severn's strangeness, but found that Severn didn't seem to be fine, probably because he was too tired recently, so he didn't bother too much.
After some time, Severn finally came to his senses, picked up his phone, and dialed the phone.
"Hey, Mommy."
"What's the matter, son, you don't seem to be happy in your tone?" Catherine was eating at this time, and after seeing Severn's call, she hurriedly put down the pastry in her hand and asked.
"It's nothing, I just miss you a little." Severn adjusted his mentality, smiled, and said in a brisk tone.
"Missed us? I said, son, you shouldn't be causing trouble outside again, are you? Or maybe you're short of money? Catherine didn't pay any attention to Severn's true feelings, and instead asked.
Severn: "......."
Catherine saw that Severn did not reply to her, and her tone suddenly became anxious.
"Son, don't tell your mother, I'm going to be a grandmother, right?!"
"Oh my God, son, I told you in the first place, let your attention! Note! You just don't listen, look, now it's all about life, right? What are you going to do? Born? ”
Catherine's tone was anxious and angry, and she counted Severn all the way.
Severn on the other end of the phone sighed, holding his forehead with his right hand, his face was full of helplessness, hearing Catherine's more and more outrageous speculation, Severn had to interrupt:
"I said, Mom, what are you thinking about all day long? I have good news for you this time. ”
"Good news?! It's good news that you're going to be a grandmother. But I should also be in my fifties! Now your mother and I are only forty-five years old, I have worked hard enough to bring you, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, I will take your son or daughter again, I ........"
Catherine's mouth was like a machine gun, and Barabala's non-stop talk made Severn speechless for a while, and as a last resort, Severn had to get straight to the point:
"My album has broken 100 million."
"Oh, the album has broken 100 million, and the album has broken 100 million, it can be ......." Catherine instinctively followed Severn's words and wanted to talk about her being a grandmother, but then she was stunned.
"Son, what do you say? Again, your mother has a bad heart, don't scare me. Catherine's voice rose abruptly, and even through the phone, she could guess her look of surprise.
Severn repeated angrily: "I said, my album has broken 100 million." ”
“Oh my god! It’ amazing! The news came so suddenly, you see, I wasn't prepared at all, no, Severn, son, I'm going to take it slow, let me calm down first, calm down. Catherine said incoherently with excitement.
Hearing this, the corners of Severn's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help asking: "Mom, it's my album that has broken 100 million, why are you so excited." ”
"You know what a!" As soon as Severn's words fell, Catherine immediately retorted: "I'm going to be the mother of a pop king, can I not be excited?" Yes! ”
"Okay, okay, just be happy, just be happy." Severn had no choice but to say this.
"Forget it, I won't tell you, I'm going to find your dad, hahaha, the king, this nickname is really COOL! I can't wait to see your dad's surprised face. Catherine danced over there.
"Good son, do a good job, I'm optimistic about you, hang up, bye-bye, Trojan~" Catherine gave Severn a flying kiss on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone.
Originally, Severn wanted to call Earl Spencer, but it was no longer necessary to see that this way, and then he thought of his mother's hot appearance, and it was estimated that the scene where she and Earl Spencer met and talked later, must be very funny.
Severn shook his head and laughed, brushing aside the superfluous thoughts in his mind and dialing another call.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Kisty's sweet voice came over the phone.
"Nothing, dear, what are you doing?" Severn heard that Kissy's voice seemed to be a little noisy, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I'm on the TV station, I'm about to go on stage, what's wrong?" Kisty asked.
"Are you free tonight?" Severn asked softly.
"What night am I not available?" Kissy couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"If you have time, come with me to a celebration party tonight." Severn said directly.
"Okay." Without any hesitation, Kissy nodded in agreement, "But what kind of celebration are you?" Facebook? ”
"No, it's EMI's celebration party." Severn said in a calm tone.
“EMI?”
Kisty was a little puzzled, but then as if she remembered something, her eyes widened, her right hand covered her small mouth and exclaimed, "Honey, don't tell me about your album........"
"Yes, it's my album that broke 100 million." Severn spoke in a flat tone, as if he were talking about something insignificant.
"Oh my God! I can't believe it, is my husband already so good now?! Kissy exclaimed, drawing attention from the crowd around him, but Kissy didn't have time to worry about that.
"Of course, what's the matter, your husband is amazing." Hearing this tone of Kissy, Severn couldn't help but show off.
"Oh~, dear, I don't even want to work now, I really want to fly to you and be held in your arms." Kissy suddenly said coquettishly, which made Severn stunned, but then followed Kissy's words:
"I want to too, I don't just want to hold you in my arms, I want to ......"
"Phew, don't say it, I'm surrounded by people." As soon as Kissy heard this, she knew what Severn wanted to say, and scolded with a red face.
"Forehead ........"
Severn was caught off guard by Kistie's hand.
"My dear, my dear, when I come back, I'll 'celebrate' for you tonight." As a last resort, Kissty had no choice but to appease Severn.
"Okay, then you come back early, and I won't disturb your work."
"Uh-huh, honey, I love you, Trojan~"
"I love you too."
After Severn finished talking to Kisty on the phone, he informed Josenna and Allen one by one.
When Severn was on the phone with his relatives and friends, the newspapers in Britain also received the news that Severn's album exceeded 100 million, and the owners of various newspapers looked at the information in their hands and were shocked and speechless for a long time.
