Chapter 6 A Magical Baseball Team
As a result, in the Seoul area, among elementary and junior high school students who are in the middle of summer vacation, a legend immediately flowed: it is said that there is a child who is only a teenager, no one knows what his name is, but he is called No. 1, because he wears a No. 1 jersey of the Los Angeles Angels, and often carries a bat alone, haunting Dongjeongs around the Han River in Dongseong-gu and Gangnam-gu.
Every time he saw another junior baseball team playing, he would take the initiative to challenge two teams on the field at the same time as a pitcher. And the stick in his hand is not for hitting the ball at all, but is used to beat people when the people on the field do not agree with his challenge. Although the No. 1 was only a pitcher, not a single person in the entire Seoul junior high school or lower team could hit his pitch.
Kim Jong-ming had no idea that his feat would gradually become the most famous urban legend in Seoul over time. More than a decade later, his magical No. 1 already has elements such as curses, violence, and the antagonism between students and seniors. In the end, it was remade into a horror film. It's just that he watched a movie in the cinema at that time, and he no longer knew that this urban legend was actually his eleven-year-old self.
But then again, the number one on Kim Jong-ming's back is indeed very famous on both sides of the Han River between Gangnam District and Dongcheng District. In less than five days, he subdued the only barely one and a half youth baseball teams in Dongcheng District, which were mixed with junior high school students and elementary school students. Then, as the captain, he took this baseball team to abuse two elementary school-level baseball teams in Gangnam-gu, on the other side of the Han River. In the end, even the bear children in Gangnam District began to mix with Jin Zhongming. For a while, all the adult sports teams in Dongcheng District, Jiangnan District, were a little noisy, for fear that their sports venues would be broken into by dozens of bear children. However, considering that Kim Jong-ming's summer vacation will last until the beginning of September, the fearful life of this group of adults will continue for a while.
Throughout the whole month of July, Kim Jong-ming had almost no major events except for a phone call from Li Tingxiang, asking him to go with her to the Samsung VIP Cinema in Guangximen on August 3 to attend the movie premiere. But it was precisely because there was nothing that Jin Zhongming slowly began to feel bored. At his age, it was difficult for my grandmother to let herself go further afield, and in Dongcheng and Gangnam, his prestige (notoriety) made him rarely challenge in baseball. At this time, he missed the days of school, the days of filming, and even the days of taking care of the little crystal princess.
So, on the last day of July, when more than a dozen bear children in Jiangnan District ran to him to complain, Jin Zhongming jumped up almost immediately.
According to the group of elementary school students, they were going to practice baseball at an open-air stadium on the banks of the Han River this morning, but a team of adults arrived with them. I didn't discuss it with them at all, and the adults kicked out their own group of hairy children like chasing hairy children. They didn't dare to reason with adults, but the weather was so good during the summer vacation, and they were reluctant to play baseball, so they had to discuss making themselves the boss come out and discuss with adults to use that venue together.
"Look at you bears, I'm going to help you get the court back." Jin Zhongming excitedly agreed. Then he shouted to the children in Dongcheng District, who were watching the excitement around him, "Don't play here, come with me across the bridge and play a game with those adults." ”
"O!!" A group of bear children who are not afraid of big things are also excitedly shouting.
So a group of ten-year-old bear children, all holding bats and gloves, under the leadership of Kim Jong-ming, under the curious eyes of passers-by, drove along the bridge on the Han River to Gangnam District.
"Uncle, can I ask you one thing? Did you steal our team's driving range? Kim Jong-ming questioned a fat uncle with bared front teeth and a striped baseball jersey.
The fat uncle with small eyes was obviously frightened by dozens of bear children carrying bats and gloves, opened his mouth, and didn't say a word from that front tooth.
"Hey, you uncle is really, as such a big adult, how can you grab the court of elementary school students?" Jin Zhongming crossed his waist in the river breeze and first pressed a crime on this uncle who looked very good to bully. What, obviously the team uniform is embroidered with a big Chinese character - hate, but there is no momentum at all.
"Hey, little brother, we didn't rob your venue, there was no one in this venue when we came. It's just that we adults play hard and are afraid of hurting children, so we let your teammates leave, and this is for your own good. A handsome uncle who didn't talk quickly ran over to relieve the fat uncle in front.
"It's So Ji-sub! You are Su Ji-sub in the flyover! The small-eyed little fat man came out and shouted at the man. Jin Zhongming recognizes this little fat man, does the catcher Jiang be loud. But Jiang loudly immediately made an act that made Kim Jong angry and couldn't throw this guy into the Han River.
"Su Ji-subxie, can you sign for me? My name is Jiang Dasheng, and I want to be an idol in the future. The little fat man found a ballpoint pen out of nowhere, and handed the glove in his hand to sign it.
"I'm ready to stand up!" Jin Zhongming raised his hand to stop a group of bear children who were about to follow the trend behind him. Fortunately, this group of people has been convinced by him this month, and no one really goes up anymore under the accumulation of power.
After seeing Jiang return to the team with the signed gloves loudly, Jin Zhongming immediately challenged the team that should be composed of artists: "Hey, uncles, it seems that you are all artists." But whether it is an artist or an ordinary person, the stadium has the rules of the stadium. Playing a game, whoever loses will leave, and whoever wins will stay. ”
The captain of this artist team, the fat uncle with small eye-circles and front teeth, agreed to the challenge after discussing it with his teammates.
And when he turned around to discuss with his teammates, Kim Jong-ming carefully observed these artists, and even made him recognize a few familiar ones: that fat captain is the big fat Zheng Jun-ha in the future Korean ace variety show Infinite Challenge, but now he is not yet 30 years old, his face is white and pure, no wonder he didn't recognize it at once; As for the name Su Ji-sub, he also reacted immediately, isn't this Wu He in the 2004 drama "I'm Sorry, I Love You"; A rimless glasses, a thin "black man" is also an acquaintance, Yin Zhongxin in the birth of the family; And the uncle who just walked over wearing a black frame without lenses almost made Jin Zhongming have the same urge to sign as Jiang Dasheng, this person is the uncle Wang Nose in Jin Zhongming's favorite variety show "Runningman" before his rebirth, he was born in 1966 and now does not seem to be much different from what he looked like 16 years later.
It seems that this is a team formed by artists who are biased towards variety show hosts, and he has already heard that there are many Korean artists, and there is a lot of competition pressure between them, and people of similar ages and hobbies form a sports team, which can not only relieve pressure, but also manage each other's connections. Big-name film and television stars such as Zhang Dongjian also love to play baseball together, and although Kim Jong Kook is not big, he also goes to play football with the Dragon brothers.
Looking at this group of variety show-based teams, Kim Jong-ming immediately realized that this was a great opportunity. If you can have a good relationship with the people of this team, it will be very beneficial. Assuming he really decides to step into the entertainment industry, this team's connections are not covered. Even if he doesn't have a chance with the entertainment industry in the end, then he can often bring Sika and Little Crystal over to cheer in the future, and he can help the two little girls.
In this case, I have to ask these uncles to see the strength of their best pitcher in the California U-12 League.
"Huicai, don't try too hard, just send the children away, don't hurt them." Uncle Wang Nose was still very careful to explain to others before the opening.
An hour later, Uncle Wangbi, who was only 33 years old and in the prime of life, had already shown the characteristics of the "frail old man" in the future, but his body was not too tired, but his heart was tired.
This bear, who came to the gym with dozens of bears, is the most hateful bear, showing a godlike pitcher level and a first-baseman level that can be called excellent.
Although it is still a little unstable because of its age, it still has 4 strikeouts. You know, he played amateur baseball games in Chi Shizhen for five years, and he has only seen two strikeouts with his own eyes.
The adults really have nothing to do, even if every time they attack, as long as they can touch the bat to score, but most of the time, the boy's pitch is to make the opponent's bat-swinging person have nothing to do. And when his own side defends, this boy can compete with the first baseman level of adults, and he can also be called decent.
Another hour later, the game ended. At this time, Zheng Junhe was already paralyzed on the court, he loved baseball, and took the initiative to form this baseball team called "hate". The entertainer has very little time, but this team has won more and lost more in baseball games against other communities under his leadership. Today was just a game for a nearby community baseball team, but I never expected that a boat was planted in the gutter, and this matter was going to get out, so did this team want to stop?
"Uncle, well, the enemy captain, we won. Do you have any objections? ”
A nasty voice came, Zheng Junhe turned his head, it was this bear child, isn't it because of the venue, he made his team so miserable.
"Hey, uncle, is it okay to have a little ambition. Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, pack up your mentality, and be a good man again after 18 years. ”
Zheng Junhe laughed out loud, this kid is really funny. Forget it, adults don't live with villains, just leave honestly. He got up and shook hands with the bear child: "Good job, boy. We lost, the venue is yours. We "hate" the baseball team and will never come to this venue again. ”
"Hey, Uncle said that, it made us stingy. In the future, your team is welcome to play in Gangnam District and Dongcheng District. We're going to be enrolled soon, and these venues are all owned by the city government, so isn't it a waste to put them here? Kim Jong Ming smiled and took Zheng Junha's hand, showing his generosity and beautiful two rows of teeth to the uncle with front teeth.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jin Zhongming, I just returned from Los Angeles a month ago, if there are some things that are not in line with etiquette, please bear with me, uncle." Jin Zhongming bent down and bowed, looking like a harmless white rabbit for humans and animals.
"Oops, I" Zheng Junhe has been blindfolded.
So, under the happy communication between the captains of both sides, Zheng Junha, and Kim Jong-ming, the two teams quickly shook hands. Jung Jun-ha praised the bears' skills, while Kim Jong-myung vigorously invited the "hate" team to visit the public sports venues where the bears are currently gathered. The atmosphere immediately became much more friendly, and a group of bear children began to ask for autographs from the most popular Su Ji-sub in the city.
And many artists who "hated" the team gathered around Kim Jong-ming and asked him where he learned his skills.
It was noon after a full game, and the elementary school students who had lost interest gradually all went home. And these artists invited Kim Jong-ming to eat ice cream in a small shop next door.
"The uncles are so kind to invite me to eat ice cream, I have to reciprocate." Jin Zhongming licked the cream on his fingers and said with a smile, "There will be a movie premiere at 7 p.m. next Tuesday at the Samsung VIP Cinema in Guangximen, and I invite you uncles to go to the movie!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for this group of people to react, Jin Zhongming picked up the Nokia magic machine hanging around his neck and made a call to Li Tingxiang: "Youbo Thiyo? Aunt Li, I'm Jin Zhongming. ”
"There's something I want to tell you."
"Yes, I have a few artist uncles I know, can you invite them to the movie premiere?"
"Hmm, you're going to tell them?"
The eldest Ji Seok-jin was still a little confused when he took the phone, but he quickly nodded happily in agreement, and then handed the phone to Jung Jun-ha next to him.
In this way, most of them agreed to attend the premiere.
The reason why he agreed so quickly is very simple, even Su Ji-sub and Yoon Jong-shin, who will be the best in the entertainment industry in the future, are still just second-rate actors and singers at this time, and Jung Jun-ha's Wang Nose is even more unbearable as a funny artist. Li Tingxiang took the initiative to invite them to the premiere, which is actually a good thing for mutual benefit.
In this way, after a magical baseball game, Kim Jong-ming not only met the members of the "hate" baseball team, but also gained their phone numbers and promises to attend the premiere.
This day was a fruitful day for Jin Zhongming.
PS: The last chapter lasted more than half an hour. I don't know why Gangnam broke the ban right now.
