Before the premiere, at this special juncture, discussions about the wager were intensifying online.
Obviously, Han Suk's film also benefited from the wager, which led to such a huge spontaneous publicity effect on his movie. And now, another movie starring an important male lead had been released. So, it was no exaggeration to say that it was highly anticipated.
For a time, almost all of the top ten hot searches on Wave were about the movie "Only You". It was so intense that it was almost unprecedented.
Some people were deeply attracted to Atlas's new movie because of his previous drama "Atlantis Princess". They firmly believed that he would be able to create another masterpiece. While others just watched the show in silence, quietly waiting to see who would win the wager between Atlas and Han Suk?
Although many people have already leaned towards Han Suk in their hearts, they had no idea if Atlas could create a wonder just like in his first movie.
It was 10 o'clock in the evening and the premiere had just ended.
The onlookers felt even more confident that the person most likely to win this wager is Han Suk. Because according to usual practice, during the premiere, many audiences and professional film critics would express their thoughts as reviews on Wave.
But when the movie premiered, there was almost no reaction on Wave. Everyone was puzzled by this online silence. If this movie was really bad, then everyone should take out their phones to complain about it.
But now that they were seeing the movie, and the buzz about it was quite popular online, there were not many real-time reviews about this movie.
The few comments also expressed everyone's expectations and praised the movie. So it seemed that there were very few people who had actually watched the movie to comment on it.
The most significant thing was that those professional film critics who always liked to join in the fun were now nowhere to be seen. This was so weird.
So those who haven't gone to see the premiere yet, especially those spectators who were eager to see the result, were at home, scratching their heads anxiously and wanted to buy tickets to watch the movie. But then they realized that the movie tickets had already been sold out.
Finally a few minutes after the premiere was over, a large number of posts suddenly appeared on Wave. Without exception, all the news was about "Only You".
Anyone who had seen the movie "Only You", made the final conclusion on this wager. It could be long or concise reviews, but it could be summed up in one sentence.
Only You was a masterpiece.
Obviously, this movie was too fascinating. They didn't even have the time to go online immediately after watching the movie. The professional film critics had also expressed doubt about their own professional abilities because of this movie.
Now, those people who had not seen the movie yet could finally understand what a fascinating movie this was.
There were posts about this movie on the Internet, and basically all of them were long-winded. The contents were all about their feelings about youthfulness after watching this movie.
"I have watched it three times already. If I have time, I will watch it a few more times. There is no other reason, but I must let Sang Young win, because this movie is a true reflection of my youth."
"I have already asked all my friends to watch it. I believe it is worth the money. If Han Suk wins this wager, it will be an insult to our past youth."
"Sang Young is the top 1 person in my mind who is best at making youth films. He is unprecedented and will never be surpassed. I believe no one will surpass him."
"I, a grown man, burst into tears in the cinema. I am grateful to Sang Young for giving me this opportunity, which allows me to face my former cowardly self."
The public opinion online had completely reversed.

Han Suk's Wave account was also bombarded with comments.
"I used to think you are a fairly bad person, and that your directing skills are okay, but now I think you are terrible in every way."
"Why don't you buy you a movie ticket and go watch Only You yourself? If you have any shame, you will have to quit the entertainment industry after watching it."
"You really demonstrated what it means to overestimate one's own capabilities. You're all smoke."
When seeing these comments, Han Suk's fans thought they were online trolls, so they immediately launched a counterattack. After all, it was just a youth film. So how good could it be to warrant these comments?
But they were astonished by the sheer amount of the comments. They felt more and more that something was wrong. Were there really so many trolls online?
They were so shocked that they felt like it was impossible for Han Suk to win. The stake had now been settled. Sang Young had won, completely.

"Miss Chang, good to see you. Come in."
"Thank you, Mr. Sang. Good to see you too."
At Atlas's home, Chang Mi-Sun entered the apartment after the was opened for her.
"Have you seen the update? Only You is even more successful than Atlantis Princess, with a very high attendance rate. Many people chose to watch in second-tier and third-tier cinemas, which have also started to screen the movie." As soon as she sat down, Chang Mi-Sun started talking, her tone full of excitement that she couldn't conceal.
Atlas just smiled and nodded. Of course, all this was within his expectations.
Chang Mi-Sun wasn't too surprised by this since she had long been accustomed to his calmness. Who could blame him for being a genius? Chang Mi-Sun was now full of energy, and she looked at Atlas with burning eyes. "What are your plans next?"
"I don't want to do anything right now. I've been so exhausted from filming this movie. I plan to take some time off and have some fun."
"That won't work. You can't just sit here for now." Chang Mi-Sun immediately said. "Cho Mi-Cha's number of followers online has increased dramatically. Her popularity has skyrocketed, and has become an overnight sensation. Now is definitely the best time for us to consolidate her popularity. So you still need to help her. After all, she is an artist from your own studio. So you can't just walk away like this."
"I understand. I just want to stay off everything for now." Atlas blinked and nodded. "Well, since you can do all the things you mentioned, why don't you just take good care of her when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Chang Mi-Sun rolled her eyes. "She's your first signed artist, don't you want to take care of her yourself?"
Atlas spread his hands and said. "That's why you're the professional one here. There is no difference between you leading the team and me leading the team."
Chang Mi-Sun was speechless. This guy had made up his mind to be a hands-off boss. She sighed and shook her head like a cartoon character which almost made Atlas burst out with laughter.
