Why don't you mention Chapter 287?
The room at the BRICS Hotel, Mawei's room.
A dozen minutes later, Bruno arrived at the room.
The hotel staff quickly delivered the Chinese dishes that Wang Xiucheng had ordered.
The two sat together and chatted like friends.
However, the two didn't actually have many things in common.
Bruno finally spoke after a few minutes, asking, "You said you wanted to see me about something?"
Bruno was casually scrolling through his phone before bed yesterday when he came across news about Wang Xiucheng spending a whopping 900 million yuan in Las Vegas.
That's why he came over today when Wang Xiucheng said he needed to talk to him.
This Chinese man is very rich.
Moreover, those people online are saying that Wang Xiucheng is a fool with too much money!
Anyone who has a friend like Wang Xiucheng is truly lucky.
Bruno thought that he might actually be able to become friends with this person.
Who could refuse a friend who is rich, silly... and generous?
"I heard you owe tens of millions in Las Vegas?"
Wang Xiucheng didn't answer him, but instead used his chopsticks to put a piece of fish on Bruno's plate and asked him a question.
Bruno curled his lip. "Those guys were greedy and insisted that I perform there to pay off their debts, but that's all in the past now, and I'll be able to pay them off soon."
“When I’m not performing, I’ll gamble elsewhere, and even if I lose money, I won’t give it back to them,” Bruno added.
"What are you talking about?" Bruno asked again.
The two did not know each other before, and had never even met.
"I have a song I'd like you to sing," Wang Xiucheng said directly, while taking out a rather casual-looking piece of paper from his pocket.
Bruno stared blankly at the standard paper provided by the hotel in Wang Xiucheng's hand.
"I don't understand. You mean you wrote a song and want to give it to me?" Bruno didn't quite understand, so he didn't take the paper.
Wang Xiucheng shook his head. "Strictly speaking, I invited you and a friend of mine to sing this song together."
"You can think of it as me wanting you to help her gain some fame in American pop music. Of course, I'll compensate you in other ways, like money," Wang Xiucheng continued.
Bruno initially thought Wang Xiucheng was joking, but when Wang Xiucheng mentioned money, Bruno had to take it seriously.
"Money is nothing to me. I've always been very serious about music."
As he spoke, Bruno snatched the paper from him.
The paper was covered with dense writing, some of which was erased and rewritten repeatedly.
At the very top of the paper were three letters.
APT!
"What does apt mean?" Bruno asked, puzzled.
"It does not matter."
"Only words? And large sections of them are repeated. Are you asking me to compose music?" Bruno continued to ask.
"I have the melody, but it's just in my head." Wang Xiucheng said somewhat awkwardly, "How about I... hum it for you?"
Bruno looked annoyed.
hum...
If Wang Xiucheng weren't rich, he would have thought Wang Xiucheng had some serious illness.
Of course, whether you have money or not is not directly related to whether you have a serious illness.
"Why don't you hum a little, and I'll hear it?" Bruno said, for the sake of the money.
Wang Xiucheng cleared his throat and then started humming.
Bruno, who hadn't paid any attention at first, gradually changed his expression and then unconsciously started nodding along with Wang Xiucheng's rhythm.
The three people next to Ma Wei, who were still eating, also looked up at Wang Xiucheng in surprise.
When did Brother Wang start writing songs?
Moreover, the rhythm of this song is quite catchy!
Wang Xiucheng was a little embarrassed at first, but he quickly loosened up and went from humming to singing with lyrics.
Wang Xiucheng finished singing quickly and looked at Bruno.
"Did you really write this?" Bruno was somewhat incredulous; a basketball player, how could he write songs?
"It does not matter."
Bruno looked at the lyrics on the paper and frowned slightly. "I heard echoes of many other songs in this one."
Wang Xiucheng nodded, "Indeed, it's a patchwork of catchy pop songs, about some Korean game."
"The important thing is, are you going to take this on?" Wang Xiucheng said, "I'll give you 500 million first. You can handle any copyright issues. If it's not enough, we can talk about it. The song copyright belongs to my friend. You can discuss the revenue generated by the song yourselves."
"Songwriters and composers, please don't write about me. This matter has nothing to do with me anymore."
Bruno's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this; he had to agree to such a good thing.
Although 500 million isn't a lot, he knew the song would be a hit as soon as he heard it, and the subsequent profits would far exceed 500 million.
"Of course, Your Majesty, I will certainly accept your proposal."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
For the sake of his child, Wang Xiucheng became a plagiarist for the first time.
Fortunately, it was copied from South Korea, so there wasn't much pressure.
They've copied the theme song from Journey to the West so many times, it's not unreasonable for them to take a little interest, is it?
Wang Xiucheng told Bruno to eat first, and then returned to his room on the top floor.
Seeing that Jin Zhenni was watching TV with a bored expression, Wang Xiucheng sat down next to her.
Jin Zhenni was overjoyed to see Wang Xiucheng return.
"There's something I need to tell you," Wang Xiucheng said, taking Jin Zhenni's hand.
“Okay, go ahead.” Jin Zhenni nodded, looking at Wang Xiucheng’s face, really wanting to touch it.
“I wrote a song for you and invited someone to sing it with you,” Wang Xiucheng said.
Jin Zhenni was slightly taken aback. Wang Xiucheng had written a song for her?
He can write songs?
Jennie Kim was somewhat surprised.
Isn't all he can do in basketball?
As a basketball player, Jennie Kim could never be associated with songwriting.
“Listen to me,” Wang Xiucheng continued, “Actually, this song was written by a friend of mine in Korea, but I’ve bought it now.”
"Remember this: from now on, this song is your own work, and the copyright belongs to you. It has nothing to do with me."
Although she didn't know what Wang Xiucheng had written, Jin Zhenni nodded nonetheless.
"Also, you know I like children. If, and I mean if, we were to have a child, please give birth to it for me."
Seeing Wang Xiu's serious expression, Jin Zhenni nodded again, her face flushed, "Then you should work even harder."
"You dare say I don't work hard?" Wang Xiucheng seemed a little angry, and picked up Jin Zhenni to take her into the inner room.
But Jennie's phone, which was on the table, rang.
Jin Zhenni blushed and asked Wang Xiucheng to put her down.
Jennie picked up her phone and glanced at it, feeling both embarrassed and flustered.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at the caller ID on his phone: "Lily".
It should be Lily Rothsdepp.
After seemingly considering it for a moment, Jennie answered the call.
Wang Xiucheng pulled Jin Zhenni down to sit.
“Lily? What’s wrong?” Jennie asked into the phone.
“Jenny, aren’t you home? I rang your doorbell but no one answered.” Lily Rothdepp sounded a little unhappy.
"I...I'm in New York. My Korean friends came to visit, and I'm with them. I'm sorry I left in a hurry and forgot to tell you."
Jennie Kim hurriedly explained.
Wang Xiucheng's hands gradually became more restless, and he began to use his ball-controlling skills.
Jin Zhenni panicked even more, fending off Wang Xiucheng while dealing with Lily Rosedepp's phone call.
"When are you coming back? I've discovered a great place with lots of handsome guys; Hollywood stars often go there," Lily Rothdepp said excitedly. "Didn't you say you like looking at handsome guys?"
“I didn’t say that,” Jennie quickly protested into the phone. “You said it.”
While Jin Zhenni was speaking, Wang Xiucheng successfully broke through her defenses.
Jennie Kim had no choice but to put her phone aside and focus on dealing with the passive situation before her.
"Even if I said it, it's a pity you can't come today. They said a Chinese person who looks a lot like Wang Xiucheng will be coming today..."
Lily Rothdepp was still talking non-stop on the phone.
Wang Xiucheng gestured "shut up" with his hand near his mouth.
Then, in the next moment, he suddenly made a feint and picked up Jennie Kim.
Amidst Jennie's panicked screams, the two entered the inner room.
"Jenny, what are you shouting for? What's wrong with you...?"
The voice of Lily Rothdepp in Jennie's ears gradually faded, and as the door to the inner room closed, it could no longer be heard.
