Chapter 403 of "Invincible Young Master in the City" begins revealing surprises: Five or six minutes later, Shen Yan drove Ye Fan into the Nahua Records building.As... Read on to find out!
Five or six minutes later, Shen Yan drove Ye Fan into the Nahua Records building.
As they approached the building, Ye Fan took a good look at Nahua Records from inside the car.
It must be said, Nahua Records was quite impressive and had an artistic feel.
Shen Yan pulled into the parking lot and stopped the car.
As they got out, several people from Nahua Records who had been waiting for some time immediately came over to greet them.
When they saw Ye Fan, who was wearing a mask, stepping out of the car, they couldnât help but turn their gaze toward him, sizing him up.
Though they had been forewarned that âPrisoner Twoâ would appear, they were still incredibly surprised to see the most mysterious figure in the Chinese music scene.
After Shen Yan spoke briefly with one of them, a man in his thirties who seemed to be their leader, she introduced Ye Fan, who had walked up beside her, âPrisoner Two, this is Manager Chen Xiandong, who will be in charge of your new song âShe Said.'â
âHello, Manager Chen,â Ye Fan said to Chen Xiandong, extending his hand for a handshake.
Though Chen Xiandong had met many top stars, he still felt a little thrilled as he shook hands with Ye Fan: âHehe, hello, hello, Mr.
Prisoner Two, I have long admired your reputation.â
After the acquaintance, knowing that Ye Fan did not want to reveal his identity, Shen Yan did not give Chen Xiandong a chance to pry for Ye Fanâs information and immediately had Chen Xiandong lead the way to get down to business.
They took the elevator to the seventh floor and entered a music studio, where a band was waiting.
Seeing Ye Fan, the band members immediately stood up and curiously inspected him, while Shen Yan, who had visited the set a few times before, didnât surprise them too much.
Now, âPrisoner Twoâ was a hot topic in the music circle.
Firstly, Ye Fan sang âOnly Loveâ exceptionally well, winning the love of even his peers in the music industry.
Secondly, Ye Fanâs masked appearance added an air of mystery, undoubtedly making him a hot topic of discussion.
âPrisoner Two?â the bandâs leader called out, surprised and a bit unsure.
âYes, hello,â Ye Fan responded with a faint smile.
âWowââ the band got a bit lively as theyâd guessed that the song they were rehearsing, âShe Said,â might be a new song by Prisoner Two.
They immediately surrounded him, and the leader said enthusiastically, âWe never imagined weâd have the chance to work with someone as mysterious as you.
Itâs an honor.â
âYouâre too kind.
I should be thanking you,â Ye Fan responded with a light smile.
Next, Ye Fan shook hands with each member of the band.
After the handshakes, a drummer who particularly liked âOnly Loveâ said to Ye Fan, âMr.
Prisoner Two, could I get a photo with you?â
As he spoke, he pulled out his phone, his face full of hope.
The others watched Ye Fan, ready to join in for a photo if Ye Fan agreed.
Ye Fan shook his head, apologetically saying, âIâm really sorry, I canât fulfill your request.â
It wasnât because he was acting like a big star; rather, he didnât want too many photos of âPrisoner Twoâ circulating, as that could make it too easy for someone determined to find clues about him.
The drummer couldnât help feeling disappointed, and the others also showed a hint of regret.
Chen Xiandong smoothed things over: âHehe, Mr.
Prisoner Two needs to keep his identity confidential, so please donât make it difficult for him.â
The band members showed understanding smiles, saying, âHaha, we understand.â
Without further ado, Ye Fan and the bandâs leader discussed the new song âShe Said,â and then the leader communicated with his team for a while.
After about half an hour, they finally began their first session of harmonizing and practicing the song.
After the first session, Chen Xiandong, who was listening, was deeply moved by Ye Fanâs singing.
His eyes became moist, and he was lost in the songâs mood conveyed by âShe Said.â
Even Shen Yan, who had previously heard Ye Fanâs rehearsal of âShe Saidâ and had a high taste in music, was moved again, staring at Ye Fan with affectionate eyes.
As for the band members, after playing, they didnât want to stop, still eager to continue interpreting the song.
After a while, Chen Xiandong came back to his senses and said, âWorthy of being Mr.
Prisoner Two, Iâd stake my reputation on it, this song will be a huge hit!â
âShe Saidâ was already a great song, carefully selected by Yan Yusong for Ye Fan.
How could Yan Yusongâs discerning eye as one of the top music masters in the country be wrong?
Moreover, he had selected this song the day after Ye Fan accepted âOnly Loveâ after putting a lot of thought into it.
And Ye Fan sang it exceptionally well.
Thus, the first collaboration with the band was so shockingly moving.
After more than two hours of continuous practiceSESSIONS, everyone was tired, and they finally took a break.
Thatâs when Chen Xiandong brought a middle-aged man in his forties wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who appeared to be a leader, into the room, walking up to Ye Fan.
Shen Yan, who was standing beside Ye Fan, also saw the man and greeted him with a smile, âManager Chen.â
âHaha, Yanyan, hello,â the middle-aged man replied with a smile to Shen Yan.
âI was busy with official duties earlier and couldnât come to greet you personally, Iâm really sorry.â
Shen Yan responded with a smile, âManager Chen, youâre too polite.â
After a pause, she smiled and said, âYouâre here probably not to see me, but for Prisoner Two, right?â
âHehe, Yanyan, you are indeed perceptive,â Deputy General Manager Chen said, then turned slightly to face Ye Fan directly, âMr.
Prisoner Two, welcome to our Warner.â
Chen Xiandong timely introduced, âMr.
Prisoner Two, this is Mr.
Chen Jiajin, the Deputy General Manager of Warner Records.â
âHello, Manager Chen,â Ye Fan called out with a light smile.
After shaking hands, Chen Jiajin said, âMr.
Prisoner Two, youâve been singing for two hours, you must be tired.
How about coming to my office to take a seat, have some water, and rest your throat?â
He didnât wait for Ye Fan to respond, and turned to Shen Yan with a smile, âAnd Yanyan, it would weigh on my conscience not to personally entertain you here.
Please come to my office as well.â
