The Dilemma Of Han Suk

Han Suk walked into the office with a dejected look on his face. Ever since he watched "Only You" that night, there was no smile on his face anymore.

On the one hand, it was because he felt that he was unconsciously attracted to the movie.

The comments from move audience online were not groundless either. From his perspective as a professional director, they actually conveyed his real thoughts.

On the other hand, the single-day box office of the movie he directed himself had decreased in revenue. This was understandable since his movie had been released for a while and was about to be taken off the screen.

So it was impossible for the box office to maintain its previous glory.

He also received some bad news these days. Some theaters that have a good relationship with him secretly revealed this to him that a large number of viewers no longer bought his movie tickets. Instead, they bought movie tickets for "Only You".

The consequence was that the box office of "Once Upon a Time" fell even more sharply.

It was originally maintained at around 100 million, which is a relatively normal decline, but since Only You was released a while ago, the revenue for Once Upon A Time had been cut short, drastically. The single-day box office was only around 50 million.

The most important thing was that the 50 million was due to the strong promotion made by the young and handsome actors in his movie.

Gradually, he began to realize that if it weren't for the fact that this movie has recruited so many popular stars.

What made him even more upset was that he discovered that the main creative staff in his own crew had secretly gone to watch "Only You". He watched it not just once, but several times.

What more, everyone of his staff was discussing this movie secretly in private.

And what about his own film?

The limelight was completely overshadowed by "Only You". Now on the Internet, it was as if the movie "Once Upon A Time " never existed. Not a trace at all. The few discussions it was having were just from the diehard fans' vigorous promotion.

Han Suk began to become more and more worried. He already had a premonition that he was going to lose. In fact, he still had a wager with Atlas.

He shook his head whenever he thought of that condition of the stake. How could this kid come up with such a wicked punishment? 

But then he changed his mind and realized that he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years after all. He was an old director with a solid foundation while his opponent was a fledgling new director.

He believed that no matter what, the new guy had to give him some face.

For three whole days, Han Suk spent time in this state of anxiety. Knowing that the final conclusion could only be made when the box office results were released, he became worried.

"Once Upon a Time" was no longer in theaters, but its box office record was 1.46 billion, covering all genres of the screen entertainment industry. Whether it was a youth film, a war film or a comedy, it was a money maker.

This number would make the film one of the classics of youth films of all time. It would also become a high-quality movie that was repeatedly mentioned by countless people, including film critics.
