The next day, before leaving.
Zhou Wenzhe went to the bank to withdraw some cash and asked Cui Xueli to give it to his grandparents. She did not refuse and gave it to her grandmother along with the money she had prepared.
This time, Choi Geon-hee will not be returning to Seoul; he is going to see some friends in Busan.
Before parting, he confirmed the work with Zhou Wenzhe one last time, and only after receiving a positive reply did he feel relieved.
Choi Seolli overheard this and glared at her second brother. Despite her best efforts to prevent it, she still couldn't keep up.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Cui Jianxi smiled and left first.
After getting into the car, Choi Sulli said somewhat shyly, "Oppa, why did you agree to him?"
"My company is short-staffed right now, and I think your second brother is a good candidate. Let's give him a chance."
"Sigh, my second brother is unreliable. I'm afraid he'll cause you trouble if he goes to your company."
"Don't worry, if he doesn't do a good job, I won't go easy on him. Just don't blame me then."
""
"Yes, I won't blame you. Thank you, Oppa."
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go." Zhou Wenzhe started the car and drove away from the small village.
We sped all the way back to Seoul without taking a break.
After the two returned to Choi Sulli's villa, she immediately kept her promise and pulled Zhou Wenzhe into the bedroom. After holding back for two days, she finally exploded.
Choi Sulli knew that Zhou Wenzhe liked her look in her cameo role in "Hotel Del Luna", so she specially braided two pigtails for herself.
For two consecutive days, the villa's gate remained closed, and traces of the couple's affection remained everywhere inside.
. .
Two days after filming began for "Major League Baseball", Zhou Wenzhe arrived at the set to fulfill his promise and make a cameo appearance in the series, with the character's name being his own.
The character that screenwriter Li Xinhua specially designed for him is a talented young player who is about to go to Major League Baseball in the United States.
Just before he was about to depart for America, his team was to play their final game against the Dreams team from the TV series in the last game of the Korean baseball league.
When Zhou Wenzhe received the script and saw that he was going to play this role, he was really excited, after all, he had actually had the opportunity to play in MLB.
Today's filming location is a professional baseball stadium located in Songpa-gu, Seoul, which is the home stadium of the Seoul Doosan Bears baseball team.
To achieve a better effect this time, the production team specially invited some professional players from the Doosan Bears basketball team to participate in the performance.
These players are very interested in the opportunity to act in the TV series. It is said that they even held a match within the team to decide who would get a spot.
Zhou Wenzhe put on his baseball uniform and protective gear, picked up the baseball bat and swung it a few times. Although he hadn't played baseball for many years, his feel for it was still there.
Seeing his batting stance, a player from the Doosan Bears team went up to him and asked, "Your stance looks very professional. Have you played baseball before?"
"Yeah, I fought with him when I was in high school."
Which high school is it?
I went to high school in the United States.
"Really? So how's your high school baseball level?"
"It's alright." Zhou Wenzhe remembered that his school's baseball coach had retired from MLB, and that many players had gone on to play professional games over the years.
That's why the school's baseball coach recommended him to MLB scouts.
At that moment, Director Jung Dong-yoon walked over and asked, "Chairman Joo, are you ready?"
"Director, just call me by my name on set. I'm ready, shall we start filming now?"
"Haha, okay, go to the court and get used to it first, I'll tell you how to shoot."
Hearing their conversation, the Doosan Bears player asked in surprise, "Is he the president? Or an actor?"
"Today I'm an actor," Zhou Wenzhe replied with a smile, and walked out with director Zheng Dongyun.
Stepping onto the court, memories of freely sweating it out on the court resurfaced.
When director Jung Dong-chung was giving instructions to Zhou Wenzhe, the Doosan Bears players and other actors who were assisting with the filming came out, including Jung Soo-jung, who was wearing a baseball uniform.
In this drama, she plays the role of Lee Se-young, the head of the operations team for the Dreams baseball team. She puts in a lot of effort and makes many sacrifices in order to save the team from disbanding.
After explaining the scene to the players and actors, it's time to start filming.
The plot design is that the character played by Zhou Wenzhe hits a home run on his last possession, which directly kills the game.
Originally, this shot was supposed to be done in post-production, since home runs are not common even in professional games, but Zhou Wenzhe persuaded the director to try shooting it for real.
Since he was the biggest investor, director Jung Dong-yoon didn't refuse and just played along.
Once everything was ready, Zhou Wenzhe stood in the batting box.
The pitcher was a professional player from the Doosan Bears.
The player initially intended to go easy on Zhou Wenzhe, but upon seeing Zhou's provocative gaze, he decided to teach him a lesson and show him what a professional player is all about.
After the director yelled "Action!", he threw the ball with all his might, still thinking about how Zhou Wenzhe would make a fool of himself.
However, with a crisp sound of hitting the ball, it flew out of the field at an extremely fast speed and disappeared in an instant, actually going out of the field.
Everyone present was stunned. They had never seen such a home run even in professional leagues, yet it happened on a film set.
Is he really not a professional player?
Everyone had this question in their minds at this moment, even the Doosan Bears coach who was watching the excitement from the sidelines had his eyes shining.
"Cut!" Director Jung Dong-yoon called out helplessly.
Everyone was stunned; how could they continue filming?
However, we definitely need to keep the footage of that shot; we can just reshoot the rest.
After filming the scenes at the stadium, Zhou Wenzhe only had one last scene left.
Speaking of which, the role he played in his cameo had quite a few lines, and was much more nuanced and complex than the role he played in "Hotel Del Luna".
Because of their resounding victory in the final match, Zhou Wenzhe made some sarcastic remarks about the Dreams team, which angered the players. They were determined to come up and fight him, but were stopped by Li Shiying and other team staff.
After persuading the players to return to the locker room, Li Shiying walked up to Zhou Wenzhe and said in an unquestionable tone, "We will definitely win the championship back."
"Ha, I heard your team is about to disband. You still want to win the championship? Dream on."
"Just you wait, we won't give up."
"I can't wait for you guys. I'm going to the US to play in MLB soon. Come find me here if you dare."
After saying that, Zhou Wenzhe left with a provocative smile on his face.
Lee Se-young was furious, but there was nothing he could do. MLB was indeed a level they couldn't reach right now.
"Card!"
Director Jung Dong-yoon called out and summoned Zhou Wenzhe and Zheng Xiujing over. Zhou Wenzhe's performance in the previous scene was excellent, far exceeding his expectations. However, Zheng Xiujing's performance was not satisfactory, and she failed to keep up with his performance.
This made him wonder which of the two was the professional actor?
After giving instructions in person, we filmed again.
After two takes, the scene was finally filmed.
After filming, Krystal Jung watched Zhou Wenzhe go and play baseball with the players, and felt very bad. How could she not even be as good as him in acting? This was too much of a blow to her self-esteem.
