The Dilemma Of Han Suk [II]

Han Suk was still worried a few days ago. His movie had not made much splash in recent days, and no one was interested in it any longer. 

But now, after the movie was taken off the screen, the media began to report on it extensively. And the focus of the report was the comparison between the movie and "Only You".

"Only You" had only been released for five days and the box office had reached 1.12 billion. In just five days, the total box office was close to that of "Once Upon A Time".

And the media? They reported on it extensively.

"What is the difference between "Once Upon A Time" and "Only You"?"

"Can "Only You" continue the miracle of its sales?"

"After "Once Upon A Time" lost its traffic, what's left for it?"

"It's clear who wins and who loses between 'Only You' and 'Once Upon A Time'!"

Similar titles were flooding all major platforms and were gaining popularity.

Han Suk, who was sitting in the office, was so angry that his face turned vermillion red.

When he saw the report about his movie becoming a hot topic, he thought that some media had done an exclusive interview with the popular actors on his movie and were now reporting on it.

He believed he would definitely be praised highly for his movies. But he didn't expect to see what happened next.

He clicked in and took a look. Originally, he didn't think his movie was that bad. But after reading these people's reports, he compared the two movies and realized it was indeed true.

"Once Upon A Time" had already reached 1 billion in its first week. If this momentum continued, it was not impossible for it to eventually break the 2 billion mark. All precisely because of Sang Young's film,

Although "Once Upon A Time" ended up with a box office of only 1.46 billion, this number was not low at all. But just comparing it with the data from the first week, he could see how severe this fault-like decline was.

Sang Young's victory was within reach.

Han Suk fully accepted this fact. Unless there was a miracle, he was doomed to lose.

Atlas, who was lying on the massage chair, received a call from Chang Mi-Sun.

"Mr. Sang, you should start getting ready. The Golden Bell Award invites you to attend the award ceremony." Chang Mi-Sun spoke.

Atlas nodded: "When will the prize be drawn?"

"May 28th. There's still a week left before then." Chang Mi-Sun replied. "I originally wanted to ask my mother for some inside information, but the confidentiality of this award is too high, so I couldn't find out anything."

Atlas didn't care about this at all. As long as nothing unexpected happened and the judges were not blind, then there was no way that the movie he made would not win an award.

"Are "Only You" and "Atlantis Princess" both selected?"

"Of course, and you must remember that this is your first honor. You made these two movies right after your debut, and now, both of them were selected for the Golden Bell Award." Chang Mi-Sun responded and sighed.

Of course Atlas knew what the Golden Bell Award was.

The Golden Bell Award was one of the major awards in the Country, and almost everyone knew about it. Even a three-year-old knew about this. Everyone often talked about the Golden Bell Award.

The Golden Bell Award was the most professional, authoritative and influential award in Korea. Any work that had won the Golden Bell Award had received the most authoritative recognition in the country. It was the Oscar Awards of the Asian continent.

Just being selected could be regarded as the most valuable resume.

The selection rules for the Golden Bell Award were extremely strict. It would have to go through two rounds of voting.
