A New Type of Scam: Wei Jun and Chen Duling's "Argument" Video

Chapter 99 A New Type of Scam: Wei Jun and Chen Duling's "Argument" Video

"Mom, the crew didn't isolate me. They're very nice to me. Don't listen to the nonsense online," Chen Duling said, holding the phone in one hand and covering her other ear with the other. "When I cried, it was because I was immersing myself in the role. You don't need to come over."

"I know, I'll take good care of myself. I'll call you immediately if anything happens. I love you."

Chen Duling hung up the phone, glared at Wei Jun, and said irritably, "It's all your fault for coming up with such a terrible idea."

Wei Jun sat on a red plastic stool on set, crossed his legs, and slowly sipped his coffee.

Seeing Wei Jun's nonchalant attitude, Chen Duling was so angry that she took away his coffee: "Drink, drink, all you know is drinking! Tell me how to solve this. My mom called, and my friends and classmates also called to ask what's going on."

"If you keep acting like it's none of your business, be careful it might affect the filming."

"It's already having some impact," Wei Jun pointed to the outside of the film set, "Some reporters are squatting at the entrance, just waiting for us to appear."

The person in charge of the Tencent Video "Someday or One Day" project also called to ask what happened. The reason why it hasn't become a large-scale event yet is that some people don't believe it, and Tencent is suppressing it.

However, this matter still garnered attention, and platforms such as Weibo, Baidu Tieba, and forums pushed entertainment-related topics to users, including this incident.

When Wei Jun's friends found out, they called again to check on him. Nazha even complained on the phone, "Why are you always trending on social media? Have you done too many bad things?"

Wei Jun just wants to say that all this hype is partly due to her. [King of Black and Red]: He's almost forgotten about this term.

The more he's criticized, the more popular he becomes. As long as Wei Jun is constantly being criticized, he will always be in the spotlight and has a higher chance of trending on social media than others.

Leaving aside others, just consider the "fake army" of anti-fans who have already formed a certain scale. They criticize Wei Jun every day in the "fake Jun bar." If you didn't know better, you would think that Wei Jun was their father's killer. They relentlessly criticize him every day. With their existence, Wei Jun's popularity will never be low.

Chen Duling rolled her eyes at him: "Then why don't you hurry up and solve it?"

"I'm trying to think of a solution." Wei Jun's expression remained calm, showing no sign of impending doom.

"Aren't you a trendsetter in the Chinese entertainment industry? Why don't you make a video to lighten the mood with humor?" Chen Duling looked at Wei Jun's calm demeanor and followed suit. Of course, this was Wei Jun's production crew, so he would definitely care. Why was she worrying about it?

Wei Jun stood up and stretched: "Okay, let's film a video of us arguing together."

Chen Duling shook her head: "Can I not film? I won't argue."

"You don't want our show to stop filming, do you?" Wei Jun said with a sinister smile.

Chen Duling shuddered at Wei Jun's somewhat wicked smile and quickly backed away: "I think I've heard a similar phrase before. I remember a boy in my college class said something similar, and his expression was just like yours."

"You guys aren't planning something bad, are you?"

"What are you thinking about? I think you're just thinking about lewd things, you big yellow girl," Wei Jun retorted.

Just tell me if you want to take the picture or not.

"Is there any reward?" Chen Duling asked with a grin.

"Here's a date for you, want it?"

"What kind of dates? Are they delicious?" Chen Duling's eyes sparkled.

Wei Jun stepped forward, raised his right hand, bent his index finger, and gently tapped her forehead: "Here you go."

"Wei Jun, you bastard!" Chen Duling covered her forehead with both hands. "Is this the reward you were talking about? You'd better watch out and get beaten up when you go out in the future."

"I will never trust you again." After saying that, Chen Duling turned to leave.

"I'm not kidding you anymore." Wei Jun grabbed her and told her about the video he was going to shoot.

"Use a new song from your album to perform it? Is that really okay?" Chen Duling wasn't sure if this method would work, but she could only trust Wei Jun. "If you say it's okay, then I'll believe you."

"Alright, let's begin."

Wei Jun took out his phone and sent her an audio message, asking her to familiarize herself with his new song while he began writing the script and lines.

Wei Jun plans to break the deadlock with a new song, which is "Take Everything You Want" from the album. He intends to imitate the popular Douyin video from his previous life, "Take Everything You Want" - the correct way to play KTV - arguing in KTV.

Now that people online are saying he's isolating Chen Duling, well then, let's create a "conflict" by having someone from the crew secretly film "the two arguing about this," and then casually post it online to break the ice in a humorous way, while also generating buzz for the new album.

Kill two birds with one stone.

After Wei Jun finished writing the script, he taught Chen Duling to sing "Take Everything You Want" a few times. Once she could sing it, he gave her the script so she could familiarize herself with it, while he asked someone to prepare the props.

The news that Wei Jun was going to sing with Chen Duling quickly spread throughout the crew. Everyone came to watch, some bringing stools to sit on, others picking up sunflower seeds to eat.

When Wei Jun saw the staff gathered behind them, he quickly moved them to the other side, making sure they weren't on camera, otherwise it would be a mistake and the effect would be greatly diminished.

The person he arranged to "take photos" was his assistant, Yang Chaoyue. She sat on a stool with a plate of watermelon in front of her. She picked up a small piece of watermelon, took a bite, and then tested how the watermelon would look on camera.

After the inspection was completed, Yang Chaoyue gave Wei Jun an "OK" sign.

"Are you ready?" Wei Jun looked at Chen Duling. Neither of them were wearing the clothes from the drama, but just their usual clothes, which made it more realistic.

Chen Duling took a deep breath and nodded.

"Let's begin."

Wei Jun walked forward and came to the black Bluetooth speaker. On the speaker were a black and a red microphone, and next to the speaker was an empty prop box.

Wei Jun kicked the cardboard box hard, yelling, "Fuck!"

Chen Duling, who was following behind, immediately reacted, walked up to Wei Jun, and shoved him: "Who are you yelling at?"

"Can you please adjust your state of mind before each shoot!" Wei Jun yelled at Chen Duling.

"Why are you being so fierce!" Chen Duling straightened up and clenched her fists.

"How many times have I told you? Can't you get rid of your bad habits!" Wei Jun shook his hand forcefully and continued to yell at her.

"Have you changed your habit of swearing?" Chen Duling retorted, not to be outdone.

"Are you ready yet? Can't I say a few words to you?" Wei Jun pointed at her.

"Is there something wrong with my acting? Or are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Chen Duling retorted.

Wei Jun leaned closer to Chen Duling: "Why can't we communicate this issue properly?"

Chen Duling nudged Wei Jun: "I'm not acting anymore!"

"Can't you act properly? If you can't, then leave!" Wei Jun glared at Chen Duling, paused, and then said, "Chen Duling, I've put up with you for a long time."

The two looked at each other.

"That's enough!" Wei Jun shouted one last time.

At this moment, Zhang Wanyi, who was in charge of the speaker playback, immediately clicked to play the audio of "Take Everything You Want".

Wei Jun and his companion quickly grabbed the microphones from the speakers and began singing: "Take everything you want, turn memories into nothingness~~~3"

The two sang and interacted, sometimes holding hands, sometimes gazing tenderly into each other's eyes.

The two finished singing after one song.

The behind-the-scenes staff and some of the actors have quite a range of expressions; they seem to have watched an entire TV series.

They initially came to watch the spectacle, but then they noticed the two starting to argue, which escalated into a heated argument, seemingly stemming from the "isolation incident" being posted online.

Some of the kind-hearted people wanted to step forward and persuade them, but when they saw so many people around and cameras filming, they knew it was all an act. But the acting was so convincing that there was a twist at the end: the two of them started singing, which dazzled them.

They felt like clapping, but also didn't want to, as they were shocked by the final twist.

Let's applaud.

Applause erupted from the audience.

Wei Jun edited the video he had filmed and then handed it over to the studio's operations team, each of whom had several marketing accounts.

Wei Jun instructed them to upload the content in a way that was kept secret.

Next, he ate fruit on set and waited to see how it went.

Wei Jun just wants to say one thing to the netizens who are about to see this video: Family members, have you installed anti-fraud apps?
