Director Anga Bok’s face is captured in close-up  on TV broadcasting the closing and awards ceremony of the  Cannes Film Festival live. The executives and employees of Korean ‘leeches’ film companies and distribution companies who look at this foolishly. At least 20 people were unable to realize the reality of Cannes’ Palme d’Or announcement that had just been made on TV.

“ok??”

“Eh???”

“······’leech’?? Aren’t they called ‘leeches’ now?”

“yes? “It sounded like that to me too.”

“Eh, no way.”

The reaction is that you must have heard it wrong or that it doesn’t make sense. It was worth it. Cannes is famous as an international film festival that strictly follows the rules, and ‘Leech’ has already produced a Best Actor award. If the rule was ‘one award per work’, ‘leeches’ could no longer be called.

however.

“Why are you shining a light on Director Ahn??”

First of all, the face of director Anga Bok is shown on the large TV that everyone is paying attention to.

and.

-[Clap clap clap clap clap!!!]

On the TV showing the top prizes of the Cannes closing and awards ceremony live, the sound of applause from thousands of big names is spreading. ‘Leech’ actors, including Kang Woo-jin, also gave a standing ovation.

At this point.

“Huh!!!”

“What, what! Did our ‘leeches’ win the ‘Palm Golden Award’?!!”

“Oh, this is crazy!!!”

“It’s the ‘Palme d’Or’! that’s right!!”

Executives and employees of the film company and distribution company who watched ‘Leech’ on TV had seizures.

“oh my god! “What is happening in Cannes now!!”

Numerous domestic media outlets monitoring the Cannes Film Festival in real time had a similar reaction.

“Kang Woo-jin alone, shoot articles without stopping!”

“yep! ok? Now, wait a minute, editor-in-chief!”

“why! what! “If you have time to talk, at least one more article.”

“no!! Now… I think ‘Leech’ has been called the ‘Palm Golden Award’??!”

“What kind of bullshit is that? Don’t they know the rules?”

“no! this this! Watch live!!”

“Why are you making such a fuss???”

All media outlets were publishing articles related to Kang Woo-jin, but stopped moving for a moment.

“‘Leech’ is the ‘Palme d’Or’??!!!”

“G-is this real?! “I wonder if it was announced incorrectly!”

“I do not know! But it seems like it’s just going on?!”

“There was a mistake- no!! Grind it first! “Let’s start with the article!!”

However, domestic media companies soon came to their senses and began hastily adding titles to breaking news articles, whether it was a mistake or something else. Every minute and every second seems like a waste. Likewise, the news teams of various broadcasting stations who monitor live and communicate closely with the local area also had the same glow.

“The ‘Palme d’Or’ is a ‘leech’??! Are you sure? “Did you even get a call from local people like that?”

“Yes yes! “The Cannes area is in chaos right now!”

“······Then what is it? Are you saying that ‘Leech’ won both the Best Actor Award and the Palme d’Or at Cannes this year??! “Wow, it’s really like rewriting history, isn’t it?!!!”

At this point, a comment from the emcee on stage at the  Cannes Film Festival was added to the monitor.

-[“This year’s  Cannes exceptional ‘Palme d’Or’ was awarded thanks to the unanimous decision of the 10 judges…”]

They were adding some explanation, but right now, no one on the French news team could understand it. Well, I was so crazy that I didn’t have the presence of mind to do that. Because their minds were filled with only ‘Best Actor’ and ‘Palm Golden Award’.

“That stiff Khan is breaking the rules if he does this!!”

“Wow, a film in the ‘competitive category’ won both the ‘Best Actor’ award and the ‘Palm d’Or award’ at the same time… and that’s a Korean movie too.”

“If you look at the history of the Cannes Film Festival, there have been cases like this, right?? When was that?!”

“I’ll look for it!! Ah – Grand Prix, Best Actor, Best Actress! ‘Black Piano’ won three major awards in 2002!!”

“Well, then this is the first time you’ve broken the rule in over 20 years??”

“yes! Even – the ‘Palme d’Or’ and ‘Best Actor’ awards overlapped! “It feels like the first time in Cannes history…”

“This is a really crazy record, isn’t it??!!”

As soon as the news teams of various domestic broadcasting stations realized the reality, they suddenly became busy.

“Modify what you were preparing!! hurry!!!!”

Because I had to change the news that was supposed to be published in the morning as quickly as possible.

One of the articles that dominates the Internet these days.

『Kang Woo-jin, a splendid achievement in winning the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival!』

『[Star Talk] Kang Woo-jin, who won the Best Actor award at Cannes two years after his debut! In his acceptance speech, he declared, ‘Next year is the Academy Awards’』

『[This is Cannes] Kang Woo-jin wins the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival! Proclaiming “Next year is the Academy Awards” in fluent French.

New news began to be added in real time. News of ‘Leech’ winning the Palme d’Or.

『[Cannes Film Festival] Breaking the rule of ‘no simultaneous awards’, ‘Leech’ wins ‘Palm d’Or’ and ‘Best Actor’ at the same time…Cannes+Korea’s first]

The ‘Leech’ was literally writing a legend.

Cannes, France again.

The large hall of the Palais des Festivals, where the awards ceremony was in full swing, was noisy with standing ovations from thousands of spectators.

-Clap clap clap clap!

-Clap clap clap clap clap!!

Everyone focused on director Ang Bok, who was standing in the middle of the first floor, with short gray hair and wearing a tuxedo, and was being greeted by the ‘leech’ actors around him. At the same time, quite a few people in the big audience were whispering.

“Simultaneous awards?? “Have you ever been like this?”

“It feels like the first time, at least that’s what I remember.”

“That means Khan broke the rule – what? “Is the movie ‘Leech’ really that great??”

“Just looking at the fact that the judges were unanimous, I can tell it’s of great quality.”

Only those who had already seen ‘Leech’ in Cannes applauded with a look of complete understanding, but it was natural since there were many more people in this hall who had not seen ‘Leech’.

Although it was drowned out by the standing ovation, the buzz grew significantly.

“’Leech’······For what kind of film does  Cannes go so far as to break the rules and award the ‘Best Actor’ and the ‘Palme d’Or’??”

In addition, the curiosity of big names from around the world exploded. No, in what kind of movie did ‘Leech’ produce such absurd results? Well, at this moment, the live broadcast that many people around the world have accessed has already been dominated by Korean comments.

-What???!! Is this correct???

-Hehehehehehehehehehe Congratulations!!

-Wow, it gives me crazy goosebumps hahahaha.

-I was surprised… before I got behind it, I saw a Korean film win the Palme d’Or at Cannes…

-???True????????????

-Jinshin ripped it hahaha He even won the Palme d’Or for Best Actor???

-Reservation for Japanese seizures hahahahaha

-No…Wht?!!! ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just take a nap and change my pantiesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Khan: There is still one more step left.

-congratulations!!!!

-You’re so cool hahahahaha

Whatever it was, the ‘Leech’ was confirmed to win the Palme d’Or at the 74th  Cannes Film Festival, and director Anga Bok, a young film, left a huge mark on the Cannes stage with his 100th film. Congratulations poured in on Director Anga Bok, who stood up.

“Congratulations, Director!!!”

“Huh- Director, congratulations so much!! Oh, I’m crying.”

“Director, congratulations.”

The seemingly indifferent but sincere cheers of the ‘Leech’ team including Kang Woo-jin, the rave reviews of the big audiences surrounding them, the shower of flashes, and the cameras of Khan’s broadcasting team hurriedly approaching.

The situation quickly became hectic.

However, Director Ga-bok Ang was quite calm, and while receiving greetings from person to person with a wrinkled smile, he quietly muttered to Woo-jin Kang.

“Woojin, can you do me a favor?”

Woojin calmly answered.

“Please speak.”

Director Gabok Ang came out of his seat toward the aisle and gestured toward the front.

“I want you to translate my thoughts into French.”

Eh?? I? Although he tilted his head inwardly, Woojin remained silent with a solemn expression on his face.

“······”

Director Gabok Ang spoke again.

“This year’s Cannes was extraordinary, and the main characters were you and ‘Leech.’ So shouldn’t the two of them have a proper finish? “It’s a story that needs to be caught properly on camera.”

“···All right.”

“Just in case, bring the ‘Best Actor’ trophy too.”

It was an idea worthy of veteran director Anga Bok, who had only thought about directing for decades.

I plan to leave a definite impact in the finale.

After finishing their talk, director Ga-bok Ang and Woo-jin Kang moved to the stage side by side. The audience, who were giving a standing ovation, turned to wonder what was going on, and hundreds of reporters from around the world took pictures of Woojin and director Gabok Ang as they walked confidently.

At that time, the executive chairman of the Cannes Film Festival picked up the microphone on stage.

“This decision was made unanimously by the judges and after a long meeting. ‘Leech’ was a work well worth it…”

An explanation as to why the rule was broken because of ‘leeches’.

yet.

-Sigh.

Director Gabok Ang came on stage. Kang Woo-jin, who followed, was second. Soon, director Ang Bok receives a trophy from an actress among the judges. What he received was, of course, the palm leaf trophy he had heard about. However, the gold-lacquered palm tree leaf was 1.5 times larger than Kang Woo-jin’s ‘Best Actor’ trophy.

Director Ahn Ga-bok, who was looking down on the Palme d’Or.

“······”

The expression was not serious. A face that is neither happy nor sad. It was just full of her ordinaryness. It seemed as if his life had passed by like a panorama in a movie version of the past years. Of course, from the beginning of ‘leeches’.

‘This absurd result would have been possible because we met Woojin at the starting point of the leech.’

This is what he made his move on.

“after-”

Director Ga-bok Ang took a deep breath and stood in front of the podium. Then, he showed a wrinkled smile to Kang Woo-jin, who was wearing a white tuxedo, standing on his left.

“Please.”

Kang Woo-jin silently nodded. Director Anga Bok, with a small smile, spoke into the standing microphone. The eyes of thousands of spectators, hundreds of reporters, and everyone other than  Cannes’ broadcast team were focused on the stage.

Soon, Director Ang Bok’s old voice spread.

“Hello, this is Angabok, the director of ‘Leech.’”

This was also the first painting produced at Cannes. This means that the actor who received the ‘Best Actor’ award interprets the ‘Palme d’Or’ director’s impressions.

“It’s an emotional night. “Leech,” which I, the staff, and the grateful actors worked together to complete, had an accident.”

As soon as he stops speaking, Kang Woo-jin, who was standing right next to him, moves. His low-pitched French words echoed throughout the hall.

It was clear that this two-shot would 100% become Khan’s history.

after.

A few tens of minutes after the two-shot between ‘Palme Golden Award’ director Ahn Ga-bok and ‘Best Actor’ winner. The 74th  Cannes Film Festival has already closed, with magnificent music in the large hall where the awards ceremony was held.

-♬♪

There was a thunderous standing ovation. Because the closing ceremony and awards ceremony are all over. However, as much as the great turmoil raged, the heat continued. In particular, there were many people who rushed to the ‘Leech’ team. Not only the broadcasting team and reporters from each country, but also the big audiences around, etc.

The large hall was truly a ‘leech’ party.

-Pababababak!

-Babababababak!!!

Flash is the ‘Leech’ team. To be precise, they burst out at director Anga Bok and Kang Woojin, and Cannes officials and the 10 judges on stage called them out. Next, Kang Woo-jin and director Ahn Ga-bok entered the stage again with the trophies they had received. Of course, it wasn’t just the two of them.

‘Oh – a proof shot?’

All the award winners at the 74th Cannes Film Festival’s ‘Competitive Category’ gathered here. The photo time for the group photo lasted approximately 15 minutes. Afterwards, there will be a brief conversation between the judges and the winners, followed by two to three photo sessions.

The indifferent Kang Woo-jin was grumbling inside.

‘Oh – I’m out of my mind.’

The reason was simple.

“Kang Woo-jin, you are amazing. “Can you take a picture with me too?”

There was no time to rest with countless handshakes and photo requests. What was happening on stage was like a fan signing event for Kang Woo-jin and director Ahn Ga-bok. After the proof shots with the judging panel made up of big names from each country, thousands of big names, including those from Hollywood, were waiting in the audience.

Huge crowd.

Everyone, including directors, actors, officials, and celebrities, asked directors Woojin Kang and Gabok Ang for handshakes and photos. This atmosphere lasted for at least an hour, and there were easily hundreds of handshakes and photos taken by Kang Woo-jin.

in between.

“I sincerely congratulate you, for some reason I thought you would get it. “I’m all happy.”

“thank you.”

There was a blonde Kara, Joseph and Meghan, Hollywood film executives, and even Hollywood director Danny Landis, a half-bald man.

“It was impressive, very.”

However, Kang Woo-jin did not remember them all.

‘Slowly – the obite is moving???’

To be honest, it was more accurate to say that I didn’t have the heart to do that. Just maintaining the concept in this damn situation was overwhelming. But so far, it’s just a drug. This was when the ‘Leech’ team, including Kang Woo-jin and Director Ang Bok, who had organized it with difficulty, left the large hall and reached the entrance of the ‘Palais des Festivals’.

‘100 million!!’

Kang Woo-jin screamed inwardly.

A  red carpet was laid down the stairs, an iron fence was erected, and thousands of reporters from all over the world wearing tuxedos were pressing camera shutters on both sides of the fence. All the reporters who attended the closing and awards ceremony or confirmed it from outside were mixed. They shouted at the top of their lungs as soon as Kang Woo-jin and director Ahn Ga-bok came out.

“%*#Kang Woo-jin&&%(#%*(!!”

“#*%%*(%(#*!”

“%#*%#*#@@@!!!”

“*#(*Kang Woo-jin, Angabok%**##!!!”

I can’t understand what’s going on. However, the flash noise was like a roar, and among the reporters, broadcasting teams from various countries around the world, including Khan, were mixed in. Although their races and countries were different, they had one thing in common.

They all hang their necks on the ‘Leech’ team, which includes Kang Woo-jin.

At this time.

-Sure.

Kang Woo-jin solemnly raised his hand toward thousands of reporters. The ‘Leech’ team members, such as director Ga-bok Ahn and Shim Shin-ho, who confirmed this, were a bit surprised. Because his cynical expression was so relaxed. Soon after, director Angabok, who smiled, whispered to Woojin.

“You are the main character in this space and in ‘Leech.’”

changed places. Director Ang Bok is the second. In other words, Kang Woo-jin in a white tuxedo became the first of the ‘leech’ team to stand in a straight line. A blinding flash for Woojin’s ‘Best Actor Award’ and director Ahn Ga-bok’s ‘Palm Golden Award’.

During the after-party, it was already past 11pm in France, and it was early 7am in Korea.

Korea was already carpet bombing with ‘leech’ news.
