Chapter 311


    Chapter 311


    Two days after the shooting.


    Anh Da Ho stopped by Nara Kims mansion.


    They decided to split the documentary into two parts and broadcast them separately.


    Two parts?


    Seo-jun tilted his head at Anh Da Hos words.


    Yeah. The first part is the one with you, with a bit of a variety show vibe, and the second part is the documentary without you. They plan to edit the first part in a lighter tone and go deeper into the second part.


    Oh.


    Seo-jun nodded.


    That way, they could satisfy both the people who didnt watch documentaries and the people who wanted to see serious documentaries.


    Thats a good idea.


    The ABS station is also happy to get two programs from one shoot. Theyre already getting a lot of offers for advertising because its such a hot topic.


    I see.


    Anh Da Hos words made Seo-jun smile.


    I was worried about how to watch it in Korea. If its uploaded on Plus, I can watch it comfortably in Korea!


    Seo-jun had no idea how fiercely the broadcasters in Korea were competing to buy his documentary.


    Anh Da Ho had heard some news from across the ocean.


    The companies that wanted to put ads in also kept an eye on which station Seo-juns documentary would go to.


    And the PD said he wanted to ask you to do the narration for both parts.


    Seo-jun tilted his head.


    Im going back to Korea next week. They have to edit the documentary footage and write a script that matches the video Will there be enough time?


    It would take quite some time to edit, let alone one part, but two parts.


    Good scripts dont come out easily either.


    Anh Da Ho smiled and answered Seo-juns question.


    He said it wouldnt take that long.


    Anh Da Ho recalled his conversation with the PD last night. The PD shouted when Anh Da Ho told him that he was going back to Korea next week.


    It wont take that long!


    He had planned to take a break after the shooting and then start editing, but the PD quickly changed his schedule. He couldnt miss the ratings, buzz, and various benefits that would come from Seo-juns narration.


    Yeah. I can sleep later.


    Anh Da Ho smiled faintly as he remembered what the PD had muttered faintly over the phone.


    Seo-jun thought for a moment and nodded.


    Then Im fine with it.


    Narration.


    He wanted to try it because he had never done it before.


    Anh Da Ho smiled and said at Seo-juns acceptance.


    And theres one more proposal that came in.


    A proposal?


    Yeah. Seo-jun, do you want to throw the first pitch?


    First pitch?


    Seo-jun blinked at the unexpected suggestion.


    ***


    The day before.


    The LA Dodgers promotion team leader pointed his finger at Seo-juns name that filled the internet.


    From Hero Assemble to whale rescue to documentary shooting, and even whale clouds. Its been a week of Seo-jun Lee, huh? But what does Seo-jun Lee have to do with whale clouds?


    At the promotion team leaders question, one of his staff smiled and said.


    Well, I guess Seo-jun Lee is the most famous person related to whales right now. Hes at the center of attention for various reasons, and then theres a cloud like that. Its bound to be a topic.


    And its even more chaotic because of that whale cloud circling the earth.


    There are also a lot of products and events related to whales. Whale tours have also increased a lot, they say.


    The promotion team leader scratched his chin at his staffs words.


    The promotion team had to be most sensitive to the worlds attention.


    There were ads related to whales popping up everywhere, and there was a good opportunity right in front of them when the center of attention was in California, especially LA.


    Hmm. Then should we join in too?


    Huh?


    The staff who were talking about watching Seo-jun Lees documentary tilted their heads at the promotion team leaders words.


    We have a home game in a few days.


    Yes.


    How about bringing Seo-jun Lee as the first pitcher for that game?


    Oh.


    Oh!


    Jack Smith in the same outfit as today and the boy who he thought was a gem covered in mud, but was actually a polished gem-like actor, Seo-jun Lee.


    ***


    Since then, Philip seemed to have lost all his motivation.


    He couldnt hide his regret.


    He walked around with his shoulders drooping, but still did his work diligently, so the scout team leader just shook his head silently.


    Bang!


    Philip banged his head on the desk after finishing all his work for the morning.


    Damn It would have been better if he was an ordinary person


    If he was an ordinary person, it would have been hard to find him, but he could have persuaded him to take a test somehow. But,


    Hes a Hollywood actor!


    A Hollywood actor, and one who won an Academy Award at such a young age and was recognized for his acting skills!


    The potential for superstardom that Philip had imagined was being displayed elsewhere.


    And amazingly! Magnificently!


    As he was so frustrated, Philip heard his colleagues conversation.


    First pitch?


    He lost a talented hitter to Hollywood and was frustrated, so Philip jumped up from his seat. The two scouts who were surprised spilled some coffee.


    First pitch?!


    What, what?


    Whats going on?


    Philip shouted.


    Seo-jun Lee should be hitting, not pitching!


    The two scouts blinked at Philips sudden outburst.


    ***


    So youre suggesting hitting?


    The promotion team leader said with an expression that wasnt very pleased at Philips words.


    Philips story had reached the promotion team leader through one of his staff.


    The promotion team staff also had their eyes sparkling at the interesting story.


    Wow.


    He followed Jack Smith and saw a talented hitter, but it turned out to be Seo-jun Lee?


    These kinds of behind-the-scenes stories usually sold well.


    If Seo-jun Lee agreed to hit, they could spread this story as publicity, but unlike the staff who thought so, the promotion team leader said.


    But even if the pitcher throws well, most people cant hit it well. People are watching and if he cant hit it, it wont be good for Seo-jun Lees image either. I think well get scolded for making him hit for no reason.


    Even if he throws the first pitch, he has to practice, so cant we just ask him to hit once when he comes to practice?


    The promotion team leader scratched his cheek at Philips words.


    Hmm. If we add the story, hitting would be perfect for publicity Alright. Then let Seo-jun Lee choose between pitching and hitting, whatever.


    Philips face brightened at the promotion team leaders words.


    But you know that Seo-jun Lee has to agree first, right?


    ***


    -Lets do it!!


    It was deafening.


    Seo-jun dropped his phone far away.


    Jack Smith was screaming on the other side of the phone.


    -You throw well! You have great control!


    If Philip had heard that, he would have been shocked. He could hit well and pitch well too!?


    -You said you could learn to throw quickly!


    Jack laughed as Seo-jun scratched his cheek.


    They said I can choose between pitching and hitting, whatever I want.


    -Both are fine since youre good at both! Hitting would be nice too. Hit a home run! Wow. Youre going to LA Stadium before me


    Isnt it different from you? Youre a player and Im just a pitcher.


    -Still, it feels weird. How should I put it Its like Im making a cameo in a movie?


    Seo-jun laughed at Jacks words.


    That would be really weird.


    -Right?


    Jack also chuckled.


    -So are you pitching? Or not?


    I said Id do it because it sounds fun.


    He had already agreed before he could tell Jack.


    Jack shouted at Seo-juns words.


    -Ill definitely come to see you! Oh, wait. Will your pitching be on the news? Wow I hope I can get a ticket?


    Seo-jun laughed at Jacks sincere concern.
