Chapter 202
Ugh. I wrote film festival again.
A junior reporter corrected the article title from film festival to film awards and uploaded it again. He chuckled at the articles that were coming up.
Its Lee Seo-jun everywhere.
Well, he starred in a movie that surpassed ten million viewers and did well overseas. He even sparked interest in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty. And both of the leads are nominated for best actor awards. It would be weirder if it was quiet.
Most of the entertainment reporters in Korea had Lee Seo-juns name in their article titles.
The comments were also positive.
It was rare to have articles that had high views and mild comments.
Before writing the next article, the junior reporter browsed the internet for a while and stopped his hand.
Huh?
He saw a post that claimed to have witnessed something.
He read the post and the comments.
There was a link.
He clicked on it and saw another witness account. He read the comments.
There was a link.
He clicked on it and saw another witness
He quickly searched for Lee Seo-juns name on a large online community.
He only took a few breaths and blinked a few times, but there were posts pouring in like a huge wave.
And, those posts were all different.
That meant that many people had seen Lee Seo-jun, and that it was close to the truth.
The senior reporter looked at his junior who was staring at the monitor screen intently.
His eyes seemed to reflect the monitor screen.
The senior reporter glanced at his juniors monitor.
Meanwhile, some reporters had already seen those posts and wrote articles with exclusive tags.
Other reporters followed suit.
Hey, hey, hey! Lee Seo-jun! Write an article about Lee Seo-jun!
The senior reporter shouted.
Lee Seo-jun is filming his next movie!
***
[Actor Lee Seo-jun, filming his next work?]
[Lee Seo-jun spotted at the set of Escape!]
[Hollywood special makeup team! They really came to Korea!]
[Lets find out more about Escape!]
[The protagonists of Escape, Kim Jong-ho, Lee Da-jin, and Lee Seo-jun?]
A rainstorm became a stream, a stream became a river, and a river became an ocean.
He had expected things to change overnight, but he didnt expect such a good effect.
The second team of Cocoa Entertainment, who came to work with determination, was busy answering the phone calls that poured in.
The production company of Escape, Movie Dream, was in the same situation.
Lee Han-sol politely declined the requests for investment.
Unnecessary investors would only cause conflicts of opinions.
He hung up the phone and it rang again.
Lee Han-sol smiled.
I wonder if the Blue Dragon Film Awards will be okay.
The organizers of the Blue Dragon Film Awards were fine.
SBC, which would broadcast the awards ceremony live, was also ecstatic.
Even though it was an annual event, some people watched it and some people didnt.
Nowadays, there were replays and edited videos available online, and articles would pop up in minutes about who won what.
But this year was different.
Lee Seo-jun, who had become a Hollywood star and made his name known worldwide, was nominated for an award.
Lee Ji-seok, who had co-starred with him and gave a brilliant performance in the same movie, was also nominated.
More people than usual were interested in it, and now there was this topic.
I can hear the sound of ratings going up Hey! Check the stage carefully! Itll be a mess if someone falls!
If it was Lee Seo-jun or Lee Ji-seok who fell, it would be an even bigger storm.
The staff and officials who were more nervous than usual prepared the stage diligently.
***
[Click on the red carpet! Lee Seo-jun, Lee Ji-seok, Park Woon-yeol, and director Woo Jeong-han!]
[The end of part one of the Blue Dragon Film Awards! The movie Reverse! Wins awards for lighting, music, screenplay, editing, art direction, and technical achievement!]
[The movie Reverse wins six categories so far!]
-Seo-jun looks good in a suit! He grew up so much! He looks bigger than when he played Reverse.
=Maybe its because hes still growing?
=Grow more!
-As expected of Reverse. They won all the categories they were nominated for.
=But they deserved it.
-Whos performing for the part two celebration?
The first part of the Blue Dragon Film Awards ended and the second part began.
The ratings didnt decrease, but increased instead.
SBC was also smiling broadly.
The producers who knew the reason for the ratings showed Lee Seo-jun and Lee Ji-seok on camera as the viewers wanted.
Whenever the camera captured them, Seo-jun and Ji-seok smiled brightly and waved their hands.
Park Woon-yeol, who won the best supporting actor award, was on stage, and it was time to present the best director award.
The winner of this years best director award is!
Seo-jun quickly raised both hands to clap.
So far, Reverse had won a total of seven awards, including Park Woon-yeols best supporting actor award.
The only ones left were best film, best director, and best actor.
Seo-jun looked at the man sitting next to him.
Director Woo Jeong-han was nervously squeezing his hand.
Director, go ahead!
You have to get the trophy!
The two lead actors urged him on. Director Woo Jeong-han got up awkwardly and headed for the stage.
It was not his first time winning the Blue Dragon Film Awards for best director. But he looked as nervous as if it was his first time, or even more so.
Seo-jun, Ji-seok, and Park Woon-yeol didnt find his awkwardness strange.
Ten years.
It was a story that he had kept in his heart for ten years.
It was a work that he might have had to bury for a few more years if there was no actor named Lee Seo-jun.
He thought it would be understandable that he was so nervous.
Director Woo Jeong-han clenched and unclenched his fist as he walked to the stage.
He had been happy since the day Reverse was released, no, since the day he started filming with Lee Seo-jun.
He was really happy that his dream of ten years had come true.
So I thought I would be fine
His hands and feet trembled as if he was a rookie director receiving his first award.
Director Woo Jeong-han barely took the trophy with his shaking hand and stood in front of the microphone.
He saw the actors and staff of Reverse clapping hard for him in his eyes. He felt a bit more relaxed.
Im really happy to be here. Reverse is like a child to me, a movie that I cherished for ten years. It feels like my child is receiving an award. Thats why I might be more nervous. I sincerely thank everyone who worked hard for Reverse, the staff, the actors, and everyone who supported us. Especially actor Lee Seo-jun.
Director Woo Jeong-hans eyes met with Seo-juns, who was sitting next to him.
Seo-jun, who was ready to clap hard when the speech was over, blinked.
If it wasnt for actor Lee Seo-jun, this movie could have been delayed longer or never made at all.
Director Woo Jeong-han smiled softly and said.
Thank you for acting as Danjong for your audition. Seo-jun.
There was laughter everywhere. Seo-jun and Ji-seok also laughed heartily.
The beginning of Reverse, a movie that surpassed ten million viewers, did well overseas, and spread the story of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty and Danjong, was a childs audition video.
The people and viewers who knew that fact laughed.
-Thats right The audition video of Yeoul
-There was a fuss about making it into a movie.
-I was one of them I still remember the title.
-Danjong
The laughter-filled best director award ended and it was time for the best actor award.
Ill introduce the nominees for the best actor award!
Five boxes appeared on the big screen.
Three actors were introduced and only Seo-jun and Ji-seok were left. Ji-seoks face appeared on the screen first.
And soon after, Seo-juns face appeared.
It seemed like the two boxes were connected because they were sitting next to each other, and everyone laughed.
If they tilted the camera slightly, Seo-jun would appear on Ji-seoks camera and Ji-seok would appear on Seo-juns camera.
The winner of the Blue Dragon Film Awards best actor award is!
The MC shouted loudly.
-Lee Seo-jun, Lee Seo-jun!
-Danjong, Danjong!!
The viewers who were watching the Blue Dragon Film Awards also waited for the announcement with anticipation.
There was silence in the awards hall, and the MC paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
Lee Seo-jun from Reverse!
Applause erupted.
The reporters wrote down their articles, and Seo-jun got up from his seat with congratulations from Ji-seok, Park Woon-yeol, and director Woo Jeong-han.
The camera lens captured Seo-jun smiling brightly as he headed for the stage.
Seo-jun held the trophy and bouquet and stood in front of the microphone.
Hello. Im Lee Seo-jun. I didnt know that things would get this big because of that audition video.
There was laughter. Seo-jun continued with a smile.
It may have started with me, but without the help of many people, we couldnt have made such a great movie as Reverse.
I sincerely thank everyone who worked hard for Reverse!
Seo-jun bowed deeply and applause poured out.
