The Golden Bell Award was one of the most prestigious awards in Korea. So generally speaking, there was no inside information or shady dealings.
The results of the selections would convince everyone of its transparency. But there were some differences this time, and there was a lot of discussion about this online.
"Why didn't Sang Young win the Best Director award?"
"I'm also wondering about this. Didn't this movie spark a social uproar?"
"If you say Sang Young is not the best director, then I really don't agree."
"You people must know that the Golden Bell Award focuses more on the professional perspective of a movie."
The majority of the audience recognized the winners of other awards. The only thing was that the Best Director Award was not given to Atlas which caused a sensation online.
For the general public, the movie "Only You" was a phenomenal movie. It had set many records in the film industry and wws unique in the field of young adult films.
It could debated that this movie had become a memory of young age in the minds of people all over the country and it was a movie that couldn't be ignored.
The impact on the general audience was also the greatest in comparison to art films. When talking about art films, not everyone could appreciate them.
Many people believe that they had no substance at all. There was no plot either. They could watched the whole movie and still had no idea what the central idea was.
But professionally, art films were used by some literati to express their poems without any reason. That was why most of the general audience paid more attention to any movie that could make them cry and laugh.
However, from the perspective of award selection, especially an extremely professional award like the Golden Bell Award, movies would be judged from a professional perspective.
Youth films had no advantages over art films, because the content shown in youth films was too simple.
In other words, the techniques required for youth films were not as sophisticated as those for art films, which to a certain extent limited the director's ability to perform.
The reason why the movie "Only You" was successful was simply because these plain plots could resonate with the audience in general.
Plus there was the genius director, Sang Young. His use of many advanced shooting techniques made this movie a great success!
But the art film directed by Seok Iseul was much more aesthetic that its young audience counterpart. Whether it was in terms of shooting techniques, editing effects or the connotation conveyed.
There was a lot of discussion about this topic online. So many professionals had written some posts to analyze the difference between the two.
"Why can't youth films beat art films?"
"Analyzing from a professional perspective, art films are the favorites to win greater awards!"
"So, Sang Young lost."

However, the award for Best Screenplay was given to Atlas, and no one had any objection. And for most of the Koreans, the creator was more important than the director.
"He's already won the Best Screenplay Award at the Golden Bell Awards after only making two movies. Sang Young is awesome!"
"Forget about the Best Director award, if the Best Screenplay award had not been given to Sang Young, it would have been unjust!"
"Isn't this just awesome? As soon as this award was announced, our film academy went crazy!"
"I hope that Sang Young never runs out of movie ideas!"

"At last." Atlas threw himself heavily onto the sofa and let out a long sigh.
"Are you planning to take a break again?" Sin Yoon asked.
"A break?" Atlas blinked in confusion. "I just had a long one."
"Okay, what about the variety show I asked you about the last time?"
Atlas thought about it for a while but still couldn't remember. "Is it a music show?"
As soon as he saw Atlas's expression, Sin Yoon knew that he had forgotten. "You've forgotten, haven't you?"
"Can you remind me in details?"
"You don't need to participate in the entire recording of the variety show, but I have a team, and I want to help my students win the championship. So, we need a producer. I think you can definitely take on the role. If you can write the songs, then the championship will be easy for us."
Atlas thought about it for a moment. "Is it just writing songs? I don't want to spend too much time on variety shows."
Sin Yoon nodded: "Yes, just the role of the producer." Sin Yoon said unhappily. "Besides, I won't cheat you, you know."
"I know, don't worry, I'll be your producer. You can just send the itinerary to my agent when the time comes."
As soon as she heard the word "agent", the smile on Sin Yoon's face faded, but Atlas didn't notice. Sin Yoon had not forgotten the last time Atlas and his agent were on the hot search list.
That time, she also called him, but he was asleep, and it was his agent who answered the call. But she never had the courage to ask Atlas about her. So, thinking of this, she felt even more resentful towards Atlas. But she convinced herself not to pay attention to him.
"Tell me more about this show!"
Sin Yoon ignored him, picked up her bag and prepared to go out. "Just check it out online yourself!"
After saying that, he walked out of Atlas's house.
Atlas looked at the door in confusion. How come this person changes her expression so quickly? Since there was no other way, he had to pick up his phone and search it himself.
This was a new music program that was recently launched. It was still in the preparation stage, and the competition system was a bit similar to the previous "The Voice."
The contestants participating in this program were basically amateurs. There would be an audition stage, which was generally a necessary process for music programs.
Seeing this, Atlas suddenly thought that since he was planning on opening a music studio too, hhe should take this opportunity to sign a singer to the studio. Just like Simon Cowell was doing with X-factor, signing the singers to his music label.
After all, Atlas could still write many songs. Although he really admired Sin Yoon's voice, she couldn't sing all the songs. Some songs just weren't meant for her.
Initially, he wanted to write a few more interludes for Only You, but they were not suitable for Sin Yoon to sing. And at that time, there was no more suitable singer to be found, so it was put on hold.
Looking at this program from this angle, maybe participating in this music program could hell him solve this problem.
