Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 273 The Cup of Life
Compared to Jiang Qinqin's struggles, Cao Jian played with more freedom in the second half, getting better and better as the game progressed.

This made the women who originally came with their male companions want to get to know this handsome and rich man.

Every time Cao Jian got the ball, these women cheered loudly.

When Cao Jian scored, the women let out screams.

Men are attracted to women's bodies, but women are also attracted to men.

In the second half, Cao Jian displayed his prowess, scoring three more goals in a row, leading his team to a 7-3 victory.

"Chairman Cao, I never expected that you were not only a good singer, but also such a good soccer player."

Huang Rihua is a big fan of football, and at this time, he was playing Qiao Feng and even wanted to become sworn brothers with Cao Jian, who was playing Duan Yu.

"I'm usually too busy."

Cao Jian smiled, remembering that the World Cup was just two years away.

He had no interest in betting on football, but he was deeply impressed by the song "The Cup of Life".

This is the pinnacle of all World Cup theme songs; it would be a real shame not to release it.

The Chinese national football team failed to qualify for the World Cup, but his song made it to the World Cup stage, which might make the national football team blush with shame.

Thinking of this, he said to Zeng Zhiwei and the others, "The World Cup is coming soon, and I want to write a song about football. If I'm going to perform it around the world, I'll take you all with me."

"Songs about football?"

Although Zeng Zhiwei and others believed in Cao Jian's talent and that he could write a good song.

But for a song to be performed all over the world is a bit of an exaggeration.

Why did you take us with you?

What's the point of bringing it? To embarrass yourself abroad?

"Yes."

Cao Jian nodded and added, "Maybe I can even perform at the World Cup."

"."

Now everyone was even more convinced that Cao Jian was bragging.

The World Cup is the most influential sporting event in the world, even more popular than the Olympics.

Could I perform live at the World Cup?
The Chinese national football team has never qualified for the World Cup.

Everyone thought Cao Jian was just bragging, so they didn't call him out on it.

Zeng Zhiwei, fearing that Cao Jian would overdo it and make things awkward, smiled and changed the subject, saying, "Then we'll wait for your masterpiece, but tonight let's go for a drink to celebrate today's victory."

It was getting dark, the perfect time for a drink.

He gestured with his lip and said, "Why don't you let your girlfriend go home first? It's not appropriate for a man to bring his girlfriend when he's drinking."

"Forget it, I won't drink anymore. While I'm still inspired, I'll go back and write the song as soon as possible."

Cao Jiancai didn't want to waste his precious time on things like drinking and bragging.

"Pity."

Zeng Zhiwei couldn't force him. He watched Cao Jian walk towards Jiang Qinqin, feeling envious but helpless.

He's handsome and has status; that's an advantage.

In this respect, I really can't compare.

While the others went to drink, Cao Jian came to Jiang Qinqin's side and said, "I'll take you back to your hotel."

"I'll take a taxi back."

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me."

Cao Jian knew the woman was just making excuses, so he didn't bother arguing and went straight to his car.

"That's really domineering!"

Jiang Qinqin muttered to herself, but still followed Cao Jian.

In "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," you were my shadow, so how come this man is so different in real life?

Even after getting into the car, she still had doubts in her heart, wondering if this man would take her home.

Then, they will use domineering means to possess you.

If Cao Jian really forced himself on her, Jiang Qinqin really wouldn't know how to resist or refuse.

The main thing is that I really have feelings for this man.

To Jiang Qinqin's surprise, after the car arrived at the hotel where the film crew was staying, Cao Jian did not get out of the car. Instead, he took out a small box and said, "We've arrived. Thank you for coming to watch the game today. This is for you."

?

Jiang Qinqin looked at the man in front of her with a blank expression, realizing that she understood him less and less.

Before, you told Zeng Zhiwei that I was your woman. Now you're just sending me back to the hotel, without even going upstairs?
Do you respect me?
Even if you say it and I reject you, that's fine, right?
Cao Jian is someone women can't figure out. The more they can't figure him out, the more curious they become about him, which makes it more interesting for him to pursue her.

I'm not just here for that one shiver on you.

The process of picking up girls is what makes it fun.

Jiang Qinqin got out of the car with a strange feeling. After the car drove away and was smoking, she opened the box and found a crystal soccer ball pendant inside.

Jiang Qinqin took out the exquisitely crafted gift, feeling a mix of emotions.

"Little girl, you think I can't handle you?"

Cao Jian, who was in the car, could imagine Jiang Qinqin's expression at that moment.

Being hugged, flirted with, and having your body seen, plus this gift—it's impossible for you not to be tempted.

Now all that's left is the final blow, to make this woman completely fall under his flared pants.

Back at Wang Fei's place, Cao Jian immediately began writing songs.

"Honey, I've finished writing my application to terminate my contract with PolyGram. I'll submit it tomorrow."

Seeing her husband had just returned and was slumped over the table, Wang Fei hugged Cao Jian's neck from behind: "I'll work for you from now on."

"They're working for us."

Cao Jian turned around, kissed his girlfriend, and asked, "When will 'The God of Cookery' start filming?"

"It'll be ready soon. I'm familiarizing myself with the script these past few days."

Wang Fei is quite looking forward to starring in "The God of Cookery".

My boyfriend's script is hilarious; it not only makes me have buck teeth and a scar on my face, but it also portrays me as a woman who's crazy about love.

Even though she had to make herself look ugly, she still wanted to challenge herself.

"Play well."

After Cao Jian finished speaking, he began to write the melody for "The Cup of Life".

"Honey, what song is this?"

Wang Fei only watched the beginning and felt that the melody was very passionate and even a bit exciting.

"This is a melody I came up with while playing football. I wrote it down and wanted to recommend it as the theme song for the World Cup two years from now."

"World Cup? Can they use the songs you wrote?"
"I don't know. We can use it if we want, or we can release it ourselves and it will still be a hit."

Cao Jian was well aware that in the 1990s, China's economy and technology were relatively backward, its military was not considered strong, not to mention the status of football.

Even if I were to recreate the song "The Cup of Life," I really can't guarantee whether the World Cup organizing committee would use it.

Even without using it, PolyGram's sales channels can create a global sensation, and the French World Cup organizing committee is bound to regret it.

After Cao Jian finished writing the song, Wang Fei was so excited that she hugged and kissed her boyfriend: "Honey, you are my genius, I love you to death. I'll call Zhou Huimin over right now, and we'll treat you tonight."

"Never mind, I'm too tired from playing soccer today. I'll just hold you while I sleep tonight."

Cao Jian played a match and scored five goals; he's really a bit tired.

Did you call Vivian Chow here to reward me, or to take my life?
However, he still pulled Wang Fei into his arms: "Let's work on the arrangement together first."

With two full years until the World Cup, Cao Jian wasn't in a hurry.

"The Cup of Life" was released too early, and thus lost its original meaning.

However, this song is still quite difficult to sing. It has three versions: English, French, and Spanish. Cao Jian had it translated and would learn it line by line whenever he had free time.

If this song really becomes the theme song of the World Cup, then his reputation and prestige will be better than any other form of publicity worldwide.

During this period, he was not only busy filming, but also busy learning to sing "The Cup of Life".

Besides these, he also has to review company documents whenever he has free time, which has almost reduced his rest time.

But opportunities always come to those who are prepared; only by constantly becoming stronger can one have more.

While filming for "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" is still underway, another TV series directed by Cao Jian, "Armed Reaction," has already begun its promotional campaign.

Although this is a modern police and gangster film, with Cao Jian's renowned name on the cast, many viewers are already eagerly waiting to watch it.

After the May Day holiday, the weather became even hotter, and the film crew's shooting schedule began to speed up.

After filming her scenes as Pan Jinlian in mainland China, Wang Siyi returned to Hong Kong to prepare for filming scenes in the Western Xia Imperial Palace.

However, before filming this scene, they needed to film the scene where Wang Yuyan accepts Duan Yu's role in the dry well and mud.

"Lights, camera ready, 3, 2, 1, Ekko!"

On camera, Cao Jian, playing Duan Yu, and Jiang Qinqin, playing Wang Yuyan, embrace each other.

Because of the hot weather, the two were almost only wearing costumes, and when they hugged each other, they could clearly feel each other's bodies more.

After delivering his lines, Cao Jian suddenly reached out to kiss Jiang Qinqin.
