Suddenly, the news of Xiang Nan and Peggy's engagement spread throughout Caltech, and was subsequently reported by the media.
Both of them are now well-known scholars and strong candidates for next year's Nobel Prize in Physics. Coupled with their talent and good looks, they are naturally worthy of reporting.
When reporting, many online media also posted a video of Xiang Nan proposing to Peggy.
This video was taken by guests in the audience and uploaded to the Internet after filming.
As soon as these reports came out, not only Xiang Nan became popular, but the couple Peggy and the song "marry you" sung by Xiang Nan to propose marriage also quickly became popular, and the number of plays soon exceeded one million.
Many netizens commented that this song is the best proposal song they have ever heard. Some netizens said that after listening to this song, they had the courage to propose to their girlfriend...
With the popularity of this song, major record companies have also sent people to purchase this song, hoping to obtain its copyright.
"Mr. Kusapali, if you leave this song of yours to us, we will definitely arrange for the most popular singer to sing it. By then, the single will sell millions of copies. From the copyright fee alone, you will be able to
Make hundreds of thousands of dollars."
"Mr. Kusapali, we are willing to pay one hundred thousand dollars in advance to buy your song. Even if the copyright fee is less than one hundred thousand in the future, we will not take the money back. On the contrary, if the copyright fee exceeds one hundred thousand, we will
We will continue to send you reissues.”
"Mr. Kusapali, Eminem hopes to use your song in his new album. If you agree, we can even arrange for you to perform it together with him."
All the managers were talking eloquently and salivating, all wanting to get this song in their pockets.
Their calculations were loud and clear.
"Marry You" is a very good song with cheerful style and touching lyrics. Moreover, like "Happy Birthday Song", it is also a very functional song.
This song can be sung in proposal ceremonies and wedding ceremonies, and can also be used in advertisements for wedding supplies, such as wedding rings, wedding dresses, wedding decorations, etc.
The song "Happy Birthday" can contribute US$5 million in revenue to Warner Records every year. Even if "Marry You" is not as good as "Happy Birthday", with a 10% discount, it can still earn US$5 million for the record company every year.
Half a million dollars.
The copyright life of a song is seventy years after the death of the creator. Xiang Nan is only twenty-seven years old now, and he can live for at least forty or fifty years. Add seventy years to it, which is more than a hundred years.
Half a million dollars a year, 50 million dollars a hundred years, and even at a further discount, it's still a whopping five million dollars. So naturally they all want to get this song in their pocket.
…
"The advance payment is one hundred thousand dollars?! Raj, if you write a few more songs, you can make more money than being a scientist." Leonard said with a smile.
"Can you collaborate with Eminem?! Oh my God! Raj, please agree quickly. When the time comes, take me with you. I'm his fan!" Howard said excitedly.
"If you make a music video, can you recommend me to be the heroine in the music video? Even if I'm not the heroine, it would be great if I can participate in the music video and have a close-up shot." Penny was also very excited after hearing this.
However, in the face of these temptations of fame and fortune, Xiang Nan still refused them all.
"Why?" Everyone asked in confusion.
There are still people in the world who hate money and people who hate fame?! This is really strange.
"Because I wrote this song for Peggy, and only she deserves this song." Xiang Nan explained.
Hearing what he said, everyone was speechless, but Peggy was so happy and moved that she couldn't help hugging Xiang Nan and giving her a passionate kiss.
…
Because Xiang Nan refused many times and his attitude was very firm without any sign of wavering, over time, these record companies had no choice but to give up.
And when Xiang Nan and Peggy were engaged, they didn't care about the sweetness and neglected their careers.
On the third day after their engagement, they returned to school and continued their scientific research work.
Linda and Erica returned to Texas the day after their engagement, and invited Peggy and Raj to go back and see them if they had time.
Xiang Nan and Peggy met Sheldon and his mother Mary as soon as they returned to school.
"Hi, aunt, hello!" Xiang Nan took the initiative to say hello to them.
"Mr. Kusapali, I brought Sheldon here this time to ask him to apologize to you." Mary Cooper explained.
Xiang Nan nodded and looked at Sheldon.
I saw that his expression was very lonely, his eyes were very dim, and his whole person seemed to have lost his energy.
It seems that this time in prison has really caused a lot of harm to him.
Sheldon looked at Xiang Nan, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch, as if his mouth was burning.
"Shelly~" Mary Cooper urged.
"Did you really write "Superasymmetry Theory"?" Sheldon asked.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he shook his head and said, "Peggy and I wrote it together."
Sheldon let out a long sigh, his expression even more lonely, "I have always thought that I was the only genius, and I thought that my achievements in the field of string theory were unparalleled.
Now I know that all my research over the years is worthless, all my hard work has been in vain, and my so-called genius is nothing but a joke.
I was so conceited before and thought you were all inferior to me. Now I know that I was totally wrong. Rajesh, I can’t compare to you in terms of knowledge, and I can’t compare to you in terms of life. I mean it this time
Lost.
I deeply apologize to you for what I did before. Please also tell Leonard, Howard, Penny and others on my behalf that I am sorry."
He said, tears streaming down his face.
"Wouldn't it be better for you to tell them yourself?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion.
"I'm embarrassed to see them again." Sheldon shook his head and said, "And maybe you don't know, the school has expelled me. This afternoon, I will go back to Texas with my mother, and you probably won't
See you again."
"So that's it." Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, I will tell you."
"Well, thank you, goodbye." Sheldon nodded, and left with Mary Cooper looking lonely.
Xiang Nan sighed.
He was not surprised by Sheldon's ending.
The so-called three gangs of heroes. No matter how smart and capable Sheldon is, he must rely on the help of others to survive in this society and make achievements in the field of scientific research.
But he was selfish, arrogant and willful, and in the end, all his friends were driven away by him. As a result, even if he had extraordinary abilities, it would be difficult for him to display them.
In the play, those friends will never leave him, which is basically arranged by the screenwriter. There were many times when Leonard, Howard, and Rajesh fell out with him, but the screenwriter forced the story to come back together.
