Chapter 136 Avril was tricked

"Avril Lavigne's song "Girlfriend" fell into plagiarism controversy."

"Rubinus frontman Tommy Dunbar and songwriter James Gunvor have filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Avril Lavigne Records and Apple. Tommy Dunbar claims that "Girlfriend" plagiarized his 1979 single "I Wanna" Be Your Boyfriend.”

"Avril Lavigne said she had never heard of Tommy Dunbar before the lawsuit and that "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" had no musical similarity to her song "Girlfriend." To prove herself, Avril said she Willing to take a polygraph test.”

"Avril Lavigne said that all songs have similar lyrics and emotions. As humans, we speak the same language and have the same emotions."

"These baseless accusations often happen in the music industry, just like Joe's slander against Logic some time ago. They are just for profit. This happens all the time in the music industry. I am not the first and I will not be the last to experience this. artist."

Luo Ji read the report in the music magazine and contacted Avril on the phone: "Hi, I saw the report, are you okay?"

Avril is in Tokyo at this time, preparing to hold a concert. She is very relaxed and is not worried about the lawsuit at all: "I'm fine, he can't win. I've consulted music experts and the probability of him winning the lawsuit is very small."

"Do you need my help?"

The corners of Luo Ji's lips curled up as he boasted, "The software engineer in my company is very good. I can ask him to help you check it using the comparison software."

"Haha, thank you. But no need."

Avril said with a smile, "My team used your software to compare the music immediately, but found no similar melody to the public domain works."

Luo Ji consoled him, "Okay, this kind of thing happens all the time in the music industry, so don't feel any pressure."

"You don't have to worry about me. I won't worry about those who slander me. By the way, thank you for taking care of my sister when you were in Canada and taking her camping with you."

"You're welcome, it's just trivial to me." Luo Ji continued, "By the way, are you holding a concert in Tokyo?"

"Yes. They are particularly enthusiastic." Avril continued proudly: "I feel that apart from Canada, the most popular place in the world for me is East Asia. They like my songs very much, and they also like me very much."

"Haha, yes. You are very in line with the aesthetics of East Asia." Luo Ji added: "When I held concerts in East Asia, the most asked question from the media was whether I knew you very well."

Luo Ji and Avril Lavigne previously attended the premiere of "[-]" together. Their photo taken together was reported by the media and was later quoted by East Asian media.That's why they asked that at that time.

"It seems like people really like me."

"Is your next concert stop going to China?"

"Yes."

Luo Ji smiled evilly and said, "Then you must sing the Chinese version of "Girlfriend" when you go."

"I will." Avril didn't notice, and then said: "Are you paying so much attention to me? You know everything about my schedule."

"Of course." Luo Ji said cheerfully: "You were so famous some time ago and I couldn't help but pay attention to you. I saw the "Blender" magazine and your photos are really sexy. Haha, it's a pity that you were blocked."

Avril Lavigne recently took a cover photo for the American "Blender" magazine to promote her new album. Her upper body was naked and the scale was very large.But Avril Lavigne's naked upper body is not visible at a glance. Her breasts are partially obscured by a yellow horizontal strip with the words "Hell yeah, I'm hot!" written on it.

This somewhat subverted Avril Lavigne's image and caused widespread discussion in the media at the time.Everyone began to lament that in recent years, American female stars and celebrities have begun to show off their sexiness as they come of age.

Avril immediately said angrily: "I was fooled. I was wearing a tube top at the time. People from Blender magazine told me that the entire photo would be released without modification. As a result, they used yellow fonts The first block made everyone think that I had no clothes on. I will never cooperate with them again."

Luo Ji said in shock: "Is it possible to do this again?"

"Of course!" Avril continued: "This industry is so unfair to women, and men have nothing to do with it."

Luo Ji comforted him: "Don't worry, print media has become increasingly difficult in the past two years, and his sales are not good either. This magazine will probably go bankrupt soon."

"Hahaha, let me borrow your good words."

After Avril finished speaking, she frowned: "By the way, how could you say that before and still want to see me naked."

"Everyone has a love for beauty. Who told you to be so beautiful?" Luo Ji continued to talk.

Avril felt happy after hearing this, but she still pretended to be angry: "What are you thinking about every day? I said you..."

The two chatted for another half an hour before Luo Ji hung up the phone.Chatting with beautiful women is indeed a pleasure, especially Avril Lavigne is a top French beauty.But Luo Ji had a bad heart but not a courage, and she was already married. "Why was your phone always on the line just now? I've called five times." Fiona's roaring voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I was busy just now."

Fiona shouted loudly: "You bastard, you promised to come home, we have been waiting for you for half an hour."

After arriving in Chicago and finishing the chores, Fiona immediately went home to see her younger siblings.Luo Ji then remembered that the two of them had agreed to have a dinner at home today.

However, Karl, whom Luo Ji valued most, was not there. He went to the youth army training, so Luo Ji didn't pay much attention to the dinner party, and ended up forgetting about it.

Luo Ji lied: "I just had an important conference call. I was busy and forgot about it. Please wait a moment, I will be there soon."

Luo Ji quickly called Blake and two bodyguards and drove to the north of Chicago.It took half an hour to reach their family's community. The surrounding environment is very good, and most of the people living there are white middle-class people with relatively high incomes in Chicago.

The environment of the community is similar to that in Hollywood movies.The lawns in front of each house are neatly trimmed, and the roads are very clean. There is no mess at all like the streets in Nancheng before.

Luo Ji and others arrived at the door of the house according to the address. Blake and the two bodyguards got out of the car and looked around before saying to Luo Ji, "Nothing unusual."

Luo Ji then got out of the car. He had an incident in Chicago before and was already mentally affected.He was very careful when he came to Chicago again, for fear of another shooting.Now that memory is still deeply etched in his mind.

Before Luo Ji entered the room, everyone in the family noticed his arrival and came out to greet him.

The leader was Debbie, who ran up and threw herself into Luo Ji's arms: "Feli, I miss you so much!"

Luo Ji felt that Debbie had gained a lot more weight than the last time they met: "Are you still used to living here during this time?"

"Habit, everything is very good." Debbie chirped and continued: "My little sisters from Nancheng used to come to play with me often, and they were all envious..."

There were many people standing at the door, including Lip, Ian, Liam, Sheila, Frank, the black female caregiver from before, and a man and a woman whom Luo Ji didn't recognize.

"Why is Frank here?" Luo Ji asked Debbie in a low voice.

Debbie rolled her eyes: "He came over on his own initiative after receiving the news."

"Feili, let grandpa take a good look at you. I haven't seen you for a while. You've grown taller again!"

After more than half a year and a liver transplant, Frank seemed to be recovering well.But Luo Ji still didn't like this drunkard. According to Fiona, he started drinking again after a long time after he recovered.

Luo Ji raised his chin towards Frank with a cold face as a greeting.

Then he looked at the other people with a smile and said hello to them one by one.

Frank rubbed his hot face against his cold butt and smiled awkwardly.But he quickly returned to normal: "Come on, come on inside, today I made my best steak, you must try it."

The black female caregiver twitched her lips, but she still refrained from speaking.She was now hired to take care of Debbie and the other children.

Entering the room, Luo Ji found Fiona sitting at the dining table, looking at Luo Ji angrily.Luo Ji also knew that what he had done was wrong, so he walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder, saying sorry.

"Okay, forgive you."

As expected, people who are close to him have the capital to be angry. No one else in the room showed any displeasure at Luo Ji being late.Fiona introduced the two strangers in the room to Luo Ji.

"This is Lip's girlfriend."

"This is Ian's boyfriend."

Luo Ji looked at the way Ian was so intimate with him in shock. This was the first time he had seen such a relationship between people he knew.

Luo Ji subconsciously touched his butt, feeling slightly uncomfortable.

But as a public figure, Luo Ji managed his expression very well. He looked at the white guy with a smile, stretched out his hand to shake: "Hello!"
