Chapter 312 - 312 308 Search Index of Prisoner Two

312: Chapter 308: Search Index of Prisoner Two 312: Chapter 308: Search Index of Prisoner Two Ye Fan drove to Yan Yusong’s villa gate, and it was nearing six o’clock in the evening.

He pressed the gate bell, and soon light and quick footsteps could be heard from inside.

The iron gate opened, revealing an absolutely beautiful smiling face and a slender, graceful figure—it was Shen Yan.

“Ha ha, our suddenly missing prisoner number two has appeared,” Shen Yan teased with a playful smile.

Ye Fan smiled lightly, “To have Singer Shen open the gate for me is indeed a great honor.”

Shen Yan laughed lightly while spreading her hands, “Can’t help it, the mistress is busy cooking in the kitchen and can’t get away.

Can’t let the teacher open the gate himself, right?”

“Ah, it seems I was flattering myself,” Ye Fan pretended to sigh.

Shen Yan pressed her lips into a smile, giving Ye Fan a slightly coquettish side-eye, “Alright, alright, I eagerly ran out to open the gate for you, happy now?”

“Hehe…” Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh.

Shen Yan said, a little exasperated, “Come in.”

Ye Fan nodded slightly, turned back to drive the car into the villa’s front yard.

After getting out of the car, Ye Fan took gifts from the trunk and then walked into the house alongside Shen Yan, chatting.

Upon entering the first-floor living room, they immediately saw Yan Yusong stand up from the sofa, his face flush with excitement and a broad smile to greet them.

“Ha ha, Professor Yan,” Ye Fan greeted with a smile.

“Haha, Ye Fan, you’ve finally arrived,” Yan Yusong said, laughing with joy.

Then, he noticed the pile of gifts in Ye Fan’s hand and couldn’t help but chide him slightly, “You’re here, why bring gifts?

A waste of money.”

“Ha ha, it’s just a small token of appreciation.

I heard ‘Only Love’ was well-received last night, and I couldn’t have sung it well without your help.” Ye Fan replied with a smile and then casually found a place to set the gifts down.

After the three of them settled down on the living room sofa in front of the coffee table, Shen Yan elegantly and skillfully made tea, and they started discussing the previous night’s concert.

The concert the previous night had been undoubtedly successful.

The carefully prepared concert for one hundred thousand people had a very enthusiastic atmosphere on-site, and the fans who were interviewed or left messages online unanimously agreed that the tickets were well worth it.

Moreover, the concert news also successfully topped the entertainment headlines on major portal websites, as well as trending topics on WeChat and Weibo.

After discussing Shen Yan’s successful concert, the conversation turned to Ye Fan’s performance as prisoner number two on stage.

Shen Yan took out a pink iPad from the sofa, browsed through some information online, then looked up at Ye Fan with a smile and said, “Currently, the Baidu search index for ‘Only Love’ is at 268,000, and prisoner number two is at 174,000, meaning from last night’s concert until now, there have been a total of 442,000 searches related to you online.”

“Currently, due to the popularity of ‘Linlang List’, Hu Ge’s recent daily Baidu search index has reached nearly 300,000, and due to ‘Hua Qian Gu’, Zhao Liying’s recent average search index is around 350,000.

So, your search index is now comparable to that of top male and female stars.”

“Of course, as you’re a trending topic, the value of your search index is much lower than that of established top stars.”

“However, looking at the trajectory of your search index, it is currently a parabola, with the number of searches still rapidly increasing.

Estimates show that if there are no new developments from you, there will be a peak in three days’ time before it drops off.

Given the high value of your song ‘Only Love’, it’s expected that interest in both you and the song will remain high relative to many second-tier celebs over the next two or three months.”

As she spoke, Shen Yan passed the iPad to Ye Fan.

Ye Fan was not interested in this and even found it annoying, but Shen Yan meant well, and he couldn’t outright refuse.

So, he took the iPad and glanced over it as a formality.

“So, Ye Fan, you’ve become an overnight sensation,” Shen Yan said confidently, “If you release another song within two months that is almost as good as ‘Only Love’ and strategically leak ambiguous information about ‘prisoner number two,’ your path as a star will be smooth.”

Yan Yusong advised excitedly, “Yes, Ye Fan, this opportunity is extremely rare, something countless people in the nation and the world dream of but never achieve.

You must truly cherish it!”

Ye Fan handed the iPad back to Shen Yan, then said to both Shen Yan and Yan Yusong, “I am very grateful for your kindness.

But I truly do not wish to become a singer or a star.

Therefore, I am also very unwilling to see the identity of ‘prisoner number two’ affect my private life.”

“Professor Yan, Yanyan, I hope you can respect my wishes and enable me to follow the path in life I have planned for myself.”

Shen Yan and Yan Yusong, seeing Ye Fan speak so earnestly, couldn’t hide their disappointment and regret.

Shen Yan unwillingly tried to convince him, “Ye Fan, are you not making this decision too quickly?

Could you maybe consider it a few more days and see how things unfold?”

Yan Yusong also advised, “According to Yanyan, you’re an ex-military man, now working as a junior white-collar employee at a company.

If you’re willing to pursue a music career, I can’t guarantee anything else, but your earnings would certainly be more than a thousand times higher than your current nine-to-five job!”

Ye Fan still shook his head determinedly, “I’m really sorry, my mind is made up on this matter, please do not urge me further.

And please help me protect my information.”

“Ah—” Yan Yusong let out a long sigh.

After a moment of silence, Shen Yan said, “Let’s not discuss whether to become a singer.

Ye Fan, for the song ‘Only Love’, which you sang as ‘prisoner number two,’ many online music players have requested your authorization.

Baidu Music, QQ Music, Kuwo Music, Kugou Music, and other major players have all contacted me to ask for your permission.”

“Just authorize it for free on my behalf,” Ye Fan said indifferently.

The copyright to “Only Love” was bought by Ye Fan from Yan Yusong as soon as he got his hands on it, if only because he did not want to have Yan Yusong help him out only to end up in debt.

Moreover, he was the original singer, so the copyright of “Only Love” was completely in his hands.

Shen Yan said, “Wait!

You might not be aware that, given the current popularity of ‘Only Love’, the licensing fee could be around two or three hundred thousand yuan or even more.

If you also license it as mobile phone ringtones, you might add another five hundred thousand.

That means, the basic licensing fee for your song is close to one million.

With further exploitation, there could be even more revenue.”

“That much money?” Ye Fan couldn’t help but widen his eyes, finding it a bit unbelievable.

Shen Yan smiled, “And that’s a conservative estimate.”
