Peninsula: Superpowered Daily Life

Chapter 67 Casting

"We've known each other since we were kids; we were neighbors."

"You're neighbors too?" Im Yoona was a little surprised. Was this a case of being close to someone and getting the moon first?

"Yes, their family lived downstairs from mine back then."

"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?" Yoona thought it was too much of a coincidence.

"If you don't believe me, go ask her yourself."

"Haha, I believe you. Thank you for today. I'll head back now."

"Um."

Zhou Wenzhe saw Lin Yoona out the door.

When he came back after closing the door, he found that her bag was still at his house, so he picked it up, opened the door again, and went out after her.

But Yoona had already taken the elevator downstairs.

Fine, I might as well go all the way and deliver it to her; it's so close anyway.

He arrived at Yoona's house with his bag and rang the doorbell.

The doorbell rang for a while before the door slowly opened.

Lin Yoona, wrapped in a bath towel, looked at Zhou Wenzhe with surprise and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your bag." Zhou Wenzhe handed over the bag.

"Oh, thank you. I thought I left it at the barbecue restaurant."

Just as the two were talking, the elevator doors behind them suddenly opened, indicating that someone had taken the elevator up and it had stopped on this floor.

"Come in quickly." In her haste, Lin Yoona pulled Zhou Wenzhe into the house and quickly closed the door. If they saw this, she wouldn't be able to explain herself.

The moment the door closed, an extremely awkward scene unfolded.

Whether it was due to the large movement or the towel getting caught, the towel on Lim Yoona fell to the ground.

She laid herself bare before Zhou Wenzhe without reservation.

Both of them were stunned. Zhou Wenzhe subconsciously looked over, while Lin Yun'er forgot to dodge and just stood there blankly.

She had just thrown up, so as soon as she got back, she took off all her clothes and prepared to take a shower.

Just as she was about to take a shower, she heard the doorbell ring again. She saw Zhou Wenzhe on the monitor and opened the door without thinking much of it.

Unexpectedly, the neighbor returned at this time, which led to the current situation.

It's fair to say that all the coincidences happened.

Zhou Wenzhe was the first to react. He squatted down, picked up a bath towel, and covered Lin Yoona with it.

Lin Yoona clutched the bath towel, her face already flushed, but a strange impulse was quietly rising in her heart.

"Um... I'll head back now." Zhou Wenzhe turned to open the door and leave.

The moment his hand touched the doorknob, a delicate, fair hand grasped his wrist.

Turning around, I saw Yoona's eyes filled with passion.

It's obvious that she's fallen in love.

Zhou Wenzhe couldn't understand it. This was a bit strange. Their intimacy level was only around 60 points. How could she have such thoughts about him?

Even if he had been drinking, it doesn't seem right that that awkward scene just now happened.

Unfortunately, he still didn't understand women.

Women are sometimes strange; their emotions can influence their thoughts, and even female celebrities are no exception.

"Stay with me tonight." Lin Yoona took Zhou Wenzhe's hand and placed it on her waist.

Having been single for so many years, she really missed him, and the ambiguous scene just now made her unable to suppress the impulse in her heart.

Instead of holding it in, why not let loose?

How could Zhou Wenzhe possibly refuse Lin Yoona's proactive request?

Respect is not as good as obedience.

He then pulled the bath towel off her body.

This time, he didn't just watch, he also tried it out.

"I'm going to take a shower first. You go to the room and wait for me."

Let's go together.

Zhou Wenzhe picked up Lin Yoona and carried her to one of the bedrooms.

"The bathroom is over there," Yoona said shyly, pointing in another direction.

In the bathroom.

Two figures intertwined in the thick mist.

Accompanying the two lively figures was a beautiful and refreshing song.

Although Yoona is not the main vocalist of Girls' Generation, her voice is still very good, especially her high notes, which are surprisingly loud.

Because she sang so enthusiastically and for so long, Yoona's voice became hoarse in the end, and her body was exhausted from dancing for so long that she collapsed into Zhou Wenzhe's arms.

Although my body was tired, I felt very satisfied.

She couldn't help but have the embarrassing thought of whether she should frequently seek out Zhou Wenzhe for discussions and exchanges in the future.

. . .

After the script workshop for "Extreme Escape", Zhou Wenzhe went to attend the script workshop for "Extreme Career".

This movie was relatively simple to film. The main plot takes place in a fried chicken restaurant, so there was no need to set up complicated scenes or use any special effects.

Therefore, the filming time is relatively short, and it is expected to wrap up in about two months. The release date is tentatively set for March or April next year.

South Korean films do not have a censorship mechanism, only a rating system. As long as a theater is willing to screen them, they can be shown at any time.

Tianyi Capital, meeting room.

Zhou Wenzhe and several key members of the "Hotel Del Luna" team held a meeting here.

The director is Oh Chung-hwan, the screenwriters are the famous Hong sisters, Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, and there are also art directors, production designers, and other staff.

The background to this work is that the two screenwriters have loved ghost stories since childhood. They came across many ghost stories while working on their previous work, "The Secret TV Surprise," and thought it would be interesting to adapt them into a TV series.

In addition, Hong Meilan believes that supernatural elements can provide strong comfort to people with obsessions, helping them to convey messages of forgiveness, reconciliation, or farewell.

That's why this story, with its strong fantasy elements, came about.

After hearing about the Hong sisters' original intention in creating this script, Zhou Wenzhe jokingly asked them if they had encountered similar situations in real life.

Unexpectedly, Hong Jing'en said that she had actually encountered phenomena that science could not explain.

After she said that, others also began to talk about the strange things they had encountered in their lives.

For example, you might dream about things in the future, and unexpectedly, after a while, those things actually happen.

Another example is the ability to foresee danger and escape unscathed.

These things really can't be explained by science.

After the lighthearted conversation, the discussion turned to casting.

"Screenwriter Hong, do you have two preferred candidates for the lead roles in this TV series?"

In a movie crew, the director is the most powerful, followed by the screenwriter.

In television dramas, the situation is quite the opposite, especially in the South Korean entertainment industry, where screenwriters hold a much higher position than directors, and some top screenwriters can even replace directors.

The Hong sisters are among the most prominent screenwriters in South Korea, and casting for "Hotel Del Luna" required their prior agreement.

Even Zhou Wenzhe had to respect his opinion on this point.

"We are leaning towards Lee Ji-eun for the female lead. We think she is the best choice to portray Jang Man-wol. Her acting skills are also excellent, so she should be able to handle the role very well."

"Li Zhi'en?" Zhou Wenzhe murmured the name and used the system to search for her information.

This investigation really surprised him.

She's not a professional actress, but a solo female singer whose achievements in the singing field far surpass those of many other female singers, earning her the title of South Korea's number one female solo artist.

That's really impressive.

Moreover, she was also a good friend of Choi Sulli, and the two had a very close relationship.

"Does Chairman Zhou have other candidates?" Hong Jing'en asked, frowning.

"No, as long as you two think she's suitable, that's fine. What do you think, Director Wu?" Zhou Wenzhe looked at Director Wu Zhonghuan, feeling he had to show respect, especially since Wu was a Chinese director.

"I agree with the two screenwriters Hong's ideas. Lee Ji-eun is indeed a very suitable candidate."

"Then it's settled. What are your thoughts on the other actors?"

"The other actors should audition. Send audition notices to various entertainment companies," Hong Jing'en said casually. The names of the Hong sisters are a golden brand, and they are not worried about a lack of auditionees.

"Okay, I'll arrange this." Zhou Wenzhe is now a shareholder in many entertainment companies, so he's the most suitable person to handle this.

"Then I'll have to trouble Chairman Zhou."

"It's no trouble at all, it's what I should do."

After discussing casting, we moved on to filming and other issues.

The meeting lasted until evening.
