2021 was no doubt the breakout year for South Korean entertainment to capture the hearts of international audiences. Reality television hits like Singles Inferno had our eyes glued to the steamy tension between the gorgeous cast members and upon its release, Squid Game swiftly became the most watched series on Netflix.

2021年无疑是韩国娱乐业俘获国际观众芳心的突破性一年。像《单身即地狱》这样的真人秀节目让我们的眼睛紧紧盯着华丽出演者之间的紧张关系，《鱿鱼游戏》一经发布，迅速成为Netflix上收视率最高的剧集。

With Cannes Film Festival 2022 right around the corner, high-profile directors and stars from around the globe will be travelling to France to preview the line-up of films. In the running for the prestigious Palme d’Or, we’re anticipating that all eyes are going to be on the film Broker, starring South Korea’s national sweetheart and singer IU and Parasite’s lauded actor Song Kang-Ho.

随着2022年戛纳电影节的到来，来自全球各地的高调导演和明星将前往法国预览提名电影阵容。在著名的金棕榈奖的竞选中，我们预计所有的目光都将集中在电影《掮客》上，该片由韩国的国民甜心、歌手IU（李知恩）和出演《寄生虫》的著名演员宋康昊主演。

《掮客》的情节是什么？

（预告抢先看）

Centered around the concept of ‘baby boxes’ in South Korea, these boxes are a last resort for mothers in Korea to safely and anonymouslydrop off their infants in the case that they’re unable to care for them.

这部电影围绕着的是韩国“婴儿箱”的概念，这些箱子是韩国母亲在无法照顾婴儿的情况下，安全和匿名地送出婴儿的最后手段。

Though not much has been released regarding the film, glimpses from the trailer show two professional brokers in search for a new family for an abandoned baby, while things get messyas the baby’s biological mother shows up out of nowhere. Things get even more complicated as the party of four is pursued by detectives looking to get to the bottom of the case.

虽然关于这部电影的消息不多，但从预告片中可以看出，两个职业掮客正在为一个被遗弃的婴儿寻找新的家庭，而当婴儿的亲生母亲突然出现时，事情就变得混乱了。当希望查清案件真相的侦探追捕这四个人时，事情变得更加复杂。

Who’s behind the film?

谁是这部电影的幕后制作人？

‘Brokers’ will be Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda’s first Korean film. The director is most well known for the acclaimed Japanese film Shoplifters, which won the Palme d’Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.

《掮客》将是日本导演是枝裕和的第一部韩国电影。这位导演因备受赞誉的日本电影《小偷家族》而闻名，该片在2018年戛纳电影节上获得了金棕榈奖。

In what Kore-eda describes as his “dream project”, the director teamed up with crew members responsible for the Oscar winning film Parasite—including Director of Photography Hong Kyung-Pyo and composer Jung Jae-Il.

在这个被是枝裕和描述为他的“梦想项目”中，他与负责奥斯卡获奖影片《寄生虫》的工作人员合作，其中包括摄影指导洪坰杓和配乐制作人郑在日。
