章 35: The Dilemma Of Han Suk [III]

The first round was the nomination voting, which was done by the most authoritative professionals in the world. Only works that won this round of voting could participate in the second round of voting. The confidentiality of the winners list was top secret.

After the voting was completed, it would be counted by a professional firm. Their ballots would be placed in a special safe and guarded by dedicated personnel on a 24-hour basis. All the papers used for statistics were disposed off.

It was absolutely confidential.

The final list of winners would then be placed in a sealed bag until it was opened by the award presenter at the award ceremony.

This was why the Golden Bell Award was so valuable. The biggest pursuit in life for talented actors in the entertainment industry was to win the Golden Bell Award. Even just being selected was a lifetime honor for them.

Just as some people work diligently in the circle all their lives, he worked hard to hone his acting skills throughout his life, but he was never able to achieve his goal.

Just as Chang Mi-Sun insinuated, Atlas recently ventured into the business of movie directing and made two films. Both of these films were selected for the Golden Bell Award, and there was a high chance of them winning a prize, at the least. Because there was no work that could surpass it in the youth romance segment for now.

This weight was indeed an honor as Chang Mi-Sun said lightly. However, honor was something that could be achieved with hard work and some effort.

For a new director like Atlas who had just made two films, and both were eligible for the Golden Bell Award, the outsiders thought of him as a complete hardworking young man.

He was directly tearing down the ceiling of the entertainment industry and rebuilding it.

After he hung up the phone, another call came in immediately. Atlas saw that it was an unfamiliar number, but still decided to answer it. "Hello."

"Mr. Sang, how are you doing? It's me, Han Suk."

Atlas didn't know where Han Suk got his phone number from, but knew it was a great courtesy to be polite nonetheless. His tone was neither salty nor bland. "Hello, Mr. Han. I'm doing well. Thanks for asking. It's a bit strange to receive your call at this time. Is anything wrong?"

"Mr. Sang, this stake is actually beneficial to both of us. You know, we can consider it as a disguised publicity for our movies. So, why don't we forget all grudges between us, and move along peacefully. We can even interact cooperatively with each other at the Golden Bell Award."

"That wager we made, it's no longer valid, is it? You know, with the withdrawal of the wager, it makes you look generous."

Atlas actually admired Han Suk a little. The man was not the best of humans, but he didn't like to beat around the bush, which Atlas quite liked.

Han Suk on the other end of the phone tightened his grip on the phone. He knew before that Atlas was not a easy person to deal with. He was not so easy to be manipulated, otherwise, there would be no wager in the first place.

"If I lose, will you let me off the hook, Mr. Han?"

Han Suk laughed. "Of course I will. On my honor."

Atlas didn't say anything, just smiled and hung up the phone.

Han Suk scratched his head anxiously. He really had no other choice but to call Atlas today. If Sang Young disagreed and insisted on fulfilling the terms of the wager, he would have no way to refuse.

After all, the popularity of their movies and wager, on the Internet was so high now.

But he still hoped that Sang Young would not consider their past differences, so they would continue to stay in the same circle in the future. He also had to leave a good reputation for himself.

Surprisingly, Atlas neither agreed nor disagreed.

Han Suk stared at the phone that had been hung up and sighed heavily.
