Life is Easier If You’re Handsome

"After the Tracker, this is the second one."
"Huh?"
"The Korean movie that was selected for the midnight screening."

At the Cannes Film Festival, the Midnight Screening event usually features films that have not been released yet. However, there have been rare instances where released films have been included. This was such a rare case, and I hadn't expected it to happen again soon.

The key figures at the Cannes Film Festival were intrigued by this and, after watching True Hero, they understood why they had been invited.

With that understanding, they were now at the short film Cutting the Knot. What kind of director makes such an impact with a feature film and then brings that energy to a short?

Especially since the lead actor was the same. It was a valuable opportunity to learn more about the lead actor.

Just before the movie began, audience members who weren't familiar with Korea quietly raised a question.

"By the way... Donghu? Why isn't he here?"
"I heard he's preparing for the Asian Games?"
"The Asian Games? Why? He's an actor, right?"
"Turns out he's also a boxer, and he's the Olympic heavyweight champion from the Rio Olympics."
"What? Wait, so that Donghu, that Donghu?"
"Yeah, I was shocked when I first heard it too. Just... wow, wow."

An Olympic gold medalist boxer is also an actor? Even the seasoned individuals at Cannes found this truth difficult to accept.

But amid all this, there was one person who took this seriously.

If this is true... does that mean he has both the wildness and the intellect?

It was none other than Verilad Ice, who was preparing for the live-action Tarzan.

The concentration and acting skills he demonstrated with the one-take filming technique. And now, with Cutting the Knot, his ability to handle romance.

If all of this was real... and if he could sing well in a musical...

He could... he could be Tarzan.@@novelbin@@
