Lin Chudong's expression shifted several times before he stood up and said, "No, absolutely not!"
Li Dan also stood up. "What's not to like? We're about to retire from the industry, I don't care."
The others around them were stunned. Jia Lu's eyes widened as she asked, "Brother Fei is going to create a scandal with you? What about Zhang Yao?"
Zhang Yao smiled. "It's just a scandal, fake news."
"Oh."
Jia Lu seemed to understand but not fully. "But won't this affect your reputations?"
Zhang Yao and Li Dan were already famous in the industry for their loving relationship, and they were the same in private. They would be a model couple once married.
Many couples looked up to them as an example. If they suddenly created a scandal, many people would likely be unable to accept it.
Lin Chudong said, "If you create a scandal with me, your good reputations, built over ten years, will be ruined."
Li Dan said, "We're about to leave the entertainment industry, so what's the use of reputation? You helped us during our most difficult time. Now you're in trouble, and I'm just creating a scandal. It's nothing."
Zhang Yao said, "Da Fei, don't overthink it. We originally planned to do this first and then find you, but we thought it would be more effective with your cooperation. We don't mind."
Lin Chudong remained silent.
Liang Yin, standing nearby, was somewhat moved. "I can see you are true friends. But how will you create this scandal?"
Li Dan said, "It's very simple. My wedding will be broadcast live on Dou Yu Hu Ya and several other platforms. If Da Fei makes an appearance then, the scandal will be easy to create."
Liang Yin was a little surprised. This was indeed a way out.
If Lin Chudong's popularity rose due to the scandal, he would surely get many job offers.
Li Dan looked at Lin Chudong. "Da Fei, don't hesitate. A scandal is just a scandal. When the truth comes out later, not only will our reputations not be damaged, but we'll also gain a reputation for loyalty."
Hearing Li Dan's words, Lin Chudong finally nodded.
"Alright, since you two are sincerely helping me, I won't be coy. However, everything will be according to my plan. After this is successful, I'll give you both a song as a retirement gift."
Li Dan nodded. "Then let's plan it well. We don't have much time, let's get it done today!"
Lin Chudong nodded. "Don't worry. Since I've decided to do this, I'll do it well and not let your kind intentions go to waste."
Lin Chudong hadn't wanted to agree at first, but after hearing Li Dan's words, he felt they made sense.
A scandal was just a scandal, and the truth would come out soon. By then, the image of the Music World's Condor Heroes would still remain in everyone's minds.
Since he had figured it out, Lin Chudong began planning the wedding.
"Everyone, here's my plan..."
After more than an hour of meeting, Liang Yin was dumbfounded.
So this was how they could create hype?
According to this plan, they wouldn't need any intimate interactions throughout the event, and there would be undeniable rumors, making everyone feel like it was the real deal.
Moreover, after the wedding, it wouldn't have a significant impact on them. Da Fei was truly impressive!
Li Dan and Zhang Yao were also very satisfied. "The wedding is the day after tomorrow morning. I will do my best to promote it and increase the attention. Everyone, please come and have a drink with us. We are retiring from the entertainment industry, so no gifts are necessary. Just come and show your support."
After speaking, Li Dan and Zhang Yao put on their masks and drove away.
Liang Yin hadn't recovered yet. "Da Fei, is this considered malicious hype?"
Lin Chudong chuckled, "Am I hyping it up? I haven't done anything. We don't have any naval forces or promoters, nor are we lying. At most, it's a well-intentioned joke."
Liang Yin nodded. "Alright, the day after tomorrow, we'll be the audience. We'll see your performance!"
The official announcement of Li Dan and Zhang Yao's wedding immediately surged to the trending searches.
Previously, Li Dan had mentioned that after getting married, they would both retire from the entertainment industry to enjoy a quiet life.
This time, the topic of discussion was primarily centered around this matter.
"Will the model couple retire? They are at the peak of their careers right now, and their earning potential is just beginning. Are they willing to give it up?"
"They've earned quite a lot over the past few years. Financial freedom is definitely within reach. If they truly retire, they would be rare individuals with clear minds."
"Based on my thirty years of experience shipping couples, this is definitely hype. If they retire, I'll livestream myself eating feces."
"It might not be fake. I heard that this wedding will be broadcast live by several major platforms, and the host and guests are all big shots. Such a grand occasion truly feels like a farewell performance."
"..."
This matter attracted widespread attention. The women wanted to see the incredibly luxurious wedding, while the men wanted to see if the couple would actually retire.
If they continued to shamelessly make money in the entertainment industry, they would likely be despised by the entire internet.
"@Ma Jinlong, Old Ma, were you invited to Li Dan's wedding? Dare you take on the challenge?"
"Ma Jinlong: I'm not qualified to go. Sorry, brother."
"Haha, Old Ma also has times when he's not qualified?"
Although Ma Jinlong was mentioned, no one brought up Lin Chudong again. His situation had garnered a lot of attention at the time, but afterward, no one cared.
Shen Jianbin had received an invitation. He was eating with Sun Jie and said impatiently, "So what if they're retiring from the industry? Why bother with this stuff? It's just a waste of traffic."
Sun Jie asked, "Why don't we go and piggyback on the hype?"
"No need. We'll be on a few variety shows in a few days, and then we need to focus on preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. This year's gala is live, and if that idiot Wu Bo makes another mistake, we'll be finished."
Wu Bo was fine at singing, but his emotional intelligence was too low, his performance experience was poor, and he wasn't very bright. He just happened to have a good voice that was somewhat similar to Da Fei's.
"Okay, fine. I'll ask someone to bring a red envelope over then."
"Forget the red envelope. They're retiring from the industry anyway, so let's just pretend we didn't see it."
"That makes sense."
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Li Dan's wedding finally arrived.
Early in the morning, Li Dan put on her most beautiful makeup and sat in front of the vanity mirror.
Looking at Zhang Yao, who had a smile on his face behind her, she said, "Our one and only wedding in this lifetime, and we're playing second fiddle to Da Fei. Will you feel regretful?"
Zhang Yao shook his head, "Of course not."
"Back then, we were living in a rental, and we couldn't even afford the basement. If Da Fei hadn't helped us out, we might have gone back to our hometown to work in a factory tightening screws."
"To have the fame and fortune we have now, it's all thanks to Da Fei's songs. What's a wedding in comparison?"
Li Dan smiled and held Zhang Yao's hand.
"I'm so touched that you think this way. Da Fei is our benefactor. Before we retire from the industry, I want to use my last bit of energy to help him regain everything he's lost!"
Zhang Yao nodded, "We're ready. The rest is up to Da Fei."
"Don't worry, he's never let us down."
