Yes, we do have "conflicts".

Chapter 92 Yes, we do have "conflicts".

The three of them drank, ate, and chatted.

"With this photo, the rumors of your discord are finally over." Deng Chao carefully looked at the several photos on his phone, even zooming in to examine their expressions.

The rumors of discord need to be addressed; otherwise, if their fans continue to argue and other marketing accounts spread false information, it will affect their relationship.

"I have something to tell you guys. Regarding the rumors of 'Wei and Lu being at odds,' someone mentioned to me that we shouldn't rush to clarify, but instead create hype around me and Lu first," Wei Jun raised his glass and lightly touched Lu Han's glass, "to create hype around the possibility that this might be our last time working together on a TV series..."

Lu Han opened his mouth wide and exclaimed "0".

Deng Chao stroked his chin: "Is it to boost 'Fighter of the Destiny'?"

Wei Jun nodded: "I refused. There's no need for Xiao Lu and me to go to such great lengths for a bad drama."

The popularity of "Fighter of the Destiny" is already huge, even backfiring, with the production team, distributors, and key creators like Lu Han all being criticized. If they continue to hype it up, Wei Jun worries that he and Lu Han will suffer greatly and be heavily criticized if the outside world finds out.

Wei Jun is the biggest beneficiary besides the production company. Everyone who has watched "Fighter of the Destiny" says he is handsome and good in bed, so he has gained a group of fans, and some brands have already started to approach him.

"It really is a terrible movie. I never thought my first TV series would turn out like this. I regret taking the role," Lu Han said, taking a sip of wine and smiling bitterly. "I don't go out to do any events now. I'm afraid of being scolded and ridiculed. It would be so embarrassing."

"You'll get used to it; everyone's acted in a few bad movies," Deng Chao said, taking a sip of his drink and then stopping, only eating his food. "From now on, keep your eyes open and carefully review scripts, don't let others exploit your popularity."

"I did receive a movie script," Lu Han said, pulling out a three-page A4 sheet from his backpack.

The paper, "Adapted from Jiangnan's novel 'Shanghai Fortress,' sent by director Teng Huatao, can you take a look at it for me?"

Wei Jun paused for a moment, his hand holding the fish meat pausing, and looked at Deng Chao with a meaningful gaze as he took the script.

This "epic masterpiece," which effectively shut out the domestic sci-fi film industry, is truly a pile of garbage...

After Deng Chao finished reading it, he handed it to Wei Jun. Wei Jun took it and glanced at it. He found that the script was not complete, with only a few fragments. The synopsis at the beginning was full of hype, but the actual plot was quite conventional. He could not "see" any problems with it, but that was precisely the problem.

Deng Chao considered for a moment: "Director Teng's 'Love is Not Blind' was not bad, but transitioning to a science fiction film is a bit of a leap. I'm not very optimistic about it, but Xiao Lu, you can give it a try and see. If it doesn't work out, then don't take it."

Unlike Deng Chao, Wei Jun wasn't smooth or tactful; he simply threw the script on the table and said, "I'm not taking it."

"Why?" Lu Han stared wide-eyed at Wei Jun. "Director Teng said he would give me the lead role, and Sister Zhen suggested I take it, saying that the competition for film resources is too fierce now, and there are too many monks and not enough porridge. If I don't take it, my film achievements will not be as good as Wu Yifan's."

Wu Yifan's leading role in the movie "Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back" was released at the beginning of the year and grossed 16 billion yuan at the box office. Although it was thanks to Stephen Chow, fans thought it was because their idol was awesome, and they posted pictures of the movie's box office all over the internet.

Lu Han has higher online popularity than Kris Wu, but he can't compare to him in terms of film achievements, at least he's never been the lead actor in a movie like "Back to 20".

He played supporting roles in "The Great Wall" and "The Lost Tomb", and was overshadowed by Jing Boran and Yang Mi in "The Witness".

"Have you read the original novel?" Wei Jun picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Lu Han shook his head.

"In the original novel, Jiang Yang is an ordinary person who's neither tall nor handsome, and has a bit of a 'loser' vibe. You're too refined; you're not suitable," Wei Jun said, lightly tapping the table with his chopsticks. "I looked at the script; it wanted to portray a passionate soldier, but I didn't see any passion in him. Instead, I saw how the male lead secretly loves the female lead. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Lu Han chuckled foolishly: "Don't underestimate me. In ancient times, I would have been a great general."

Deng Chao had just taken a sip of juice when he heard Lu Han's arrogant words and immediately spat it out.

"You're willing to cut your hair? If you're that capable, you would have landed a good military role when you auditioned for 'The Founding of an Army,'" Wei Jun spat. "Besides, Teng Huatao is too opportunistic. He understands urban romance dramas, but he might not understand science fiction. Did he even mention how much he'd pay you?"

"We haven't reached that stage yet, but it should be a few million." Lu Han wasn't very sure; he needed to go back and ask his agent what his current asking price for the movie was.

"It's up to you. Answer it if you want, but if you're asking me, I suggest you don't."

Filming "Shanghai Fortress" would be less worthwhile than starring in another terrible drama like "Fighter of the Destiny." It would pay more and be less damaging. Wei Jun inquired about Lu Han's salary for "Fighter of the Destiny," but he didn't know the exact amount. Anyway, Lu Han told him it was tens of millions.

"Forget about that," Lu Han changed the subject, "I heard you're preparing a web series?"

"What, you're interested?" Wei Jun raised an eyebrow. "Come on, I'll give you the second male lead role."

Deng Chao also looked at Wei Jun with curiosity.

Lu Han was both amused and exasperated: "I can't come."

"What, you don't like my little web series? Let me tell you, the second male lead's character is super good, super popular." Wei Jun fantasized a little, if Lu Han came, that would be interesting.

"I don't mind playing a supporting role for you, but my status, my company, and my fans will not allow me to play a supporting role for someone else in a TV series." Lu Han stood up and poured Wei Jun a full glass of wine.

"Then why are you asking?"

"I asked for Xiaotong." Lu Han hesitated for a moment before explaining the reason, "Didn't you two just finish filming your last scene?"

"My little web series isn't suitable for her. Doesn't she have a TV series that's going to be broadcast on a major network?" Wei Jun paused for a moment before answering.

"What show?" Lu Han asked curiously.

"I don't know." Wei Jun knew which drama it was, "Sweet Combat".

Deng Chao then realized what was happening and interjected, "Xiao Lu likes Xiao Tong?"

Lu Han scratched the back of his head and grinned foolishly, feeling a little shy.

Deng Chao laughed and shouted, "I think it's a good idea. Xiao Tong is really pretty; she's perfect for you."

Lu Han quickly downed a glass of wine in one gulp: "I think so too."

Wei Jun remained silent, accepting his fate.

The group stopped talking about movies and instead started talking about girls, listing the beautiful female celebrities in the industry and discussing their figures, appearances, temperaments, hobbies, and scandals.

Deng Chao also wanted to introduce a girl to Wei Jun. Later, after learning that Wei Jun had worked with Zhang Tianai on a magazine, he kept saying that the girl was pretty and that Wei Jun should hurry up, since many pretty female celebrities in the industry are pursued by many people.

Lu Han smiled but didn't say anything. He felt there was no need to introduce girls to Wei Jun. During the drama's promotion, he personally witnessed Xu Lingyue sneaking into Wei Jun's room late at night.

The three of them ate and chatted for a long time. When they saw that it was almost time, they parted ways.

The two posted a photo of themselves together on Weibo late at night.

Wei Jun V: [Yes, we do have a "contradictory stance". @M鹿M]

M鹿M: [Yes, we have "conflicts". @魏俊V]

The accompanying image shows Wei Jun holding a spear and Lu Han holding a shield, the two facing off.

After the post was published, Wei Jun's studio and Yixin Entertainment joined forces to control the comments and sent lawyer's letters to the marketing accounts that spread rumors.

The news instantly caused an uproar on Weibo, which experienced temporary lag. While logging in was possible, the app would freeze like a PowerPoint presentation.

Wow, this looks like they've officially announced their relationship! (lol/jPg)

[Hilarious! So all those marketing accounts that wrote long articles analyzing whether the two were at odds the other day were completely false. They made me worry for nothing. They're both my idols.]

[Okay, okay, there is indeed a "contradiction". You can step aside now, lol/jPg]

So next time rumors of discord surface, are you two going to put on a "bare-handed" show again?

I could watch this "contradiction" series a hundred times! I need merchandise! I need emojis! I need figurines!

[Luhan and Wei Jun's chemistry is amazing! Posting at the same second, using the same captions, and tagging each other—if this wasn't planned, I'll do a handstand while washing my hair.]

The two fan groups reached a "ceasefire" and jointly stated, "Our idols are doing well, don't worry about them, thank you."

In less than half an hour, fans created memes depicting the two having a "conflict".

Wei Jun, holding a spear: If you keep spreading rumors, I'll stab you to death.

Lu Han, holding up his shield: Rumors, get back! Get back! Get back!

Originally, some marketing accounts were publishing lengthy analyses of the two's falling out that evening, but they were immediately deleted and replaced with praise for the two being good brothers, taking the jokes to an extreme.

Even worse, some foolish marketing accounts failed to understand what Wei Jun and the other person meant, thinking that the two had publicly broken up. They started spouting nonsense, saying that they had guessed correctly and calling themselves Sherlock Holmes. As a result, they were called idiots by the two people's fans and passersby and were forced to quit the internet.

Since then, "contradiction" has become a well-known meme in the entertainment industry, and this scene has become one of the most memorable moments in the entertainment industry in 2017.

Their posts gradually evolved into a popular online phrase, with phrases like "Yes, we are dating" and "Yes, we have a child."
