The purpose of this paper is to establish a surprisingly elementary method, through a concrete equation, to obtain these kind of general results. Let f(X, Y) and g(X, Y) he binary forms (homogeneous polynomials in two variables) with complex coefficients of degree m and n, respectively. The binary form fg splits into linear factors (over C) and in the sequel, we suppose that the linear factors are pairwise non-proportional. Let K be a finitely generated subfield of C. Then K can be written in the form Q(z(1),.,z(q), u), where z(1),...,z(4) is a transcendence basis of K and we may assume without loss of generality that the element u is integral over the polynomial ring Z[z(1),...,z(q)].
