[Oct-19-209] Rain chosen as the representative of Korea by CNN.

CNN selected singer Rain and soccer player ‘Park J-Seong' as the representatives of Korea, and 'Talk Aisa' to be aired during their feature program 'Eye on South Korea' interviewed with them.

Since this 'Eye on South Korea' program will be shown on CNN reaching nearly 250 million households from the 19th, their appearances have a deeper meaning.

CNN's major female anchor 'Anna Coren' directly visited Korea and ran off the interview with Rain.

The interview was progressed for about 2 hours over the 30 minutes originally scheduled to be done, and they sincerely talked about his movie Ninja Assassin and current Asia Tour concert including his success story and personal life, also, CNN separately shot even the scene of Rain's concert 'Legend of Rainism' in Seoul for both days of last 9th and 10th.

J.Tune entertainment expressed their high expectations, "'Talk Asia' in documentary form is entirely to contain Rain's splendid performance on the stage as well as the tense atmosphere on back-stage."

Rain and 'Park Ji-Seong's programs will be aired on October 21st and 28th respectively.

Rain has become the largest stockholder of his agency J.Tune entertainment.

This is the first time he's turned J.Tune entertainment's owner since his acquisition was complete.

Rain ever announced his participation in the management of J.Tune entertainment by October 2007, acquiring his stocks with 11.55% (881,446 stocks, 500 KRW at par) in shareholder's equity in due form of the issue of new shares to be purchased by third parties

J.Tune entertainment announced after the stock closed on the 16th, "J.Tune entertainment's largest stockholder has transferred from 'Asian Company-1 Union for the Restructuring' to Rain due to the dissolution of the company.

An official from J.Tune entertainment expressed, "J.Tune entertainment's largest stockholder has transferred due to the dissolution of 'Asian Company-1 Union for the Restructuring'" and " the stocks the Asian Company is holding, will be distributed to the members of the union."

The 'Asian Company-1 Union for the Restructuring' side said, "The equity we are holding will be distributed to the members, and the holding and the selling will depend on their judgement."

Meanwhile, in reference to what Rain's become the largest stockholder of J.Tune entertainment and what he bought the stocks of CT&T company producing electric vehicles, there is a belief that CT&T would make its stock market debut on the COSDAQ (Korean Securities Dealers´ Automated Quotation), but J.Tune entertainment said, "For our part, we know nothing about it."

10.19.09: Another NA Review @ VIFF



Ninja Assassin – B
Screenplay by Matthew Sand and J. Michael Straczynski
Directed by James McTeigue
Look at the poster for Ninja Assassin. It projects a certain quality – something along the lines of, this movie is intense and is going to own you. Honestly, that poster has to be one of the best posters I have seen this year. Sadly, it only tells half the story. James McTeigue’s follow-up to his adaptation of V for Vendetta is a fun, but ultimately uneven film.

The story should be simple – there are secret ninja clans that for a thousand years will provide assassinations in exchange for a hundred pounds of gold (or whatever that works out to in cash). The main clan in the story is Black Sand, and the star pupil, Raizo (Rain), has turned his back on the clan. Now the clan is out to get Raizo, and he in turn wants to take them down. Where things are not so simple, is that there is a parallel plot with Interpol, and a pretty forensics’ expert, Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris), has stumbled onto these clans, and her boss tells her to keep a low profile, and of course she does not, and…Does anybody really care? No, did not think so. What we really want to see is ninja against ninja – even if that means we have to suffer through a Raizo & Mika buddy-cop-faux-romance.
The action is why you are going to see Ninja Assassin. Nobody really cares about a story or plot that makes sense in these types of films (when they actually are plausible or interesting, then it is a bonus). McTeigue, being a pupil of the Wachowski Bros, knows how to deliver on the action. The ninja stuff is swift and merciless. The ninjas move in and out of shadows at will, often appearing like the smoke monster. It is pretty awesome.
Rain, one of pop’s biggest superstars in South Korea, has a great screen presence here. His command of English is not 100%, but it is a big improvement over his appearance in last year’s Speed Racer (which he was good in too). The physicality of the role suits him, and I would not be surprised to learn that he did most of the stunt work himself.
James McTeigue does have talent behind the camera, and one feels that perhaps the Interpol storyline was an afterthought here – in an effort to get North American audiences more interested. I would like to think that the script, credited to two men, Matthew Sand and J. Michael Straczynski, is more of an amalgamation than collaboration here. There are moments that are quite humourous, but overall, it falls short of being even good for the genre.
There are many beautiful set pieces where the ninjas are concerned. One fight between Raizo and a fellow student at one point amongst hundreds of hanging candles is breathtaking. Karl Walter Lindenlaub is the cinematographer here, and he has a good idea how to realize the director’s vision. There are a lot of scenes that are in the shadows and low or natural lighting, and they are crisp and clean – maybe a little too much at times.
All in all, this is a film that I recommend, if only for the action, and Rain’s performance. I will say this for the movie, it rarely lags. While it may not win any awards, at least it is an enjoyable couple of hours in the theatre.
Ninja Assassin screened at the Vancouver International Film Festival. It opens in North America on November 25, 2009

[윤PD의 연예시대③]비·빅뱅·보아, '청출어람 스타에겐 ○○○가 있다'  



 
▲ 가요계 "청출어람" 스타들. 비, 보아, 이승기, 빅뱅(사진 왼쪽 위부터 시계방향)


[이데일리 SPN 윤경철 객원기자] 비, 빅뱅, 이승기, 보아….
이들의 공통점은 무엇일까. 바로 청출어람(靑出於藍) 스타라는 점이다. 박진영, 양현석, 이선희 등 한 시대를 풍미했던 스타에 의해 발굴되고 키워졌지만 지금은 자신을 키워준 스타를 뛰어넘는 모습을 보여주고 있다.

그렇다면 대부분의 스타가 제작한 연예인들이 고전을 면치 못하는 상황에서 이들은 어떻게 'OOO의 제자'라는 감투를 벗고 홀로서기에 성공할 수 있었을까?

이유는 간단하다. 가장 먼저 자신들만의 영역을 확대해나간 점을 들 수 있다.
가수 비, 빅뱅, 이승기 등은 선배가수들과 달리 연기, 예능, 뮤지컬 등에 출연하며 스스로의 팬층을 넓혀왔다. 가수 비는 KBS2TV 드라마 '상두야 학교가자' '이 죽일 놈의 사랑' 등의 작품에서 인기를 끈 뒤 박찬욱 감독의 '사이보그지만 괜찮아'와 '스피드 레이서', '닌자 어쌔신' 등의 작품으로 어필했고 이승기 역시 SBS 드라마 '찬란한 유산', KBS2TV 예능프로그램 '해피선데이-1박2일' 등에서 주목을 받았다. 빅뱅 역시 승리, 대성, 탑 등이 영화와 드라마, 뮤지컬 등에 출연하며 대중성을 확보했다. 이들의 영역 확대는 10대에 국한됐던 팬층을 중장년층으로까지 확대시키는 결과를 가져왔다.

해외로 넓어진 활동 범위도 청출어람의 원동력이 됐다.
스타들의 해외진출은 인기 상승과 함께 국내 팬들의 애국심을 자극, 그들의 가치 또한 높여주는 결과를 낳고 있다. 실제 비, 보아 등은 국내에서의 활동에 만족치 않고 성공한 뒤 곧바로 미국과 일본으로 진출했고 이런 행보는 이들의 가치를 한 단계 업그레이드 시키는 계기가 됐다. 비는 영화 '닌자 어To신'에서 국내 스타로는 처음 할리우드 주연으로 출연했고 보아는 일본 오리콘 차트를 휩쓴데 이어 미국 음반계까지 진출했다. 빅뱅 역시 최근 일본 음악시장과 방송에서 눈에 띄는 활약상을 보여주고 있다.

무엇보다 이들 스타들은 선배가수들과 달리 친근함을 자신들의 무기로 삼았다. 선배가수들이 철저하게 카리스마로 어필한 데 반해 이들은 부드러운 미소와 친근함으로 호감을 얻어냈다. 실제 이승기는 약간 모자란 듯하지만 귀여운 '허당'이란 이미지로, 빅뱅의 대성은 시골 청년 같은 순박함과 우직함으로 더욱 큰 사랑을 받은 바 있다.

방송관계자들은 "청출어람 스타들에겐 스승으로부터 사사 받은 능력에 플러스 알파적인 요소가 반드시 있다"고 분석하면서 "비, 보아, 빅뱅 모두 실력은 물론이고 연습생 시절부터 마음가짐과 팬들을 대하는 태도까지 뭔가 달랐다"고 말했다.

10.18.09 Another Ninja Assassin Review: Strong Asian characters with mainstream sex appeal at V


I’m all for undoing the martial arts Asian stereotype, but I have to admit that I left this film saying, “I think I want to be a ninja.” For Halloween anyway (and maybe Powell Street Festival too). In the classic style of director James McTeigue (Speed Racer, V for Vendetta) and Producers Andy and Larry Wachowski (who brought us The Matrix), Ninja Assassin’s opening sequence sets the tone for “you’re going to love this” if you get turned on by a combination of sophisticated martial arts and a level of gore that should really only be seen in manga-animation. The enthusiastic applause that followed the intro was reminiscent of the audience’s response to the opening sequence of The Matrix some ten years ago. For this reason I’m so happy I opted to skip the advance media screening and share this experience with a the general public.

There truly was a sense that the Wachowski brothers and James McTeigue were trying to take the martial arts genre up a notch. According to McTeigue,
“The Matrix changed the way people watched movies. Every now and again you get an epochal film that changes the way you view cinema and I’ve been lucky enough to be exposed to that … we’ve basically worked with the same people for 10 years now and you’re always trying to take it to the next level.” (vancouver.24hrs.ca)
From the film, it’s clear that the “next level” is being set by Asian cinema. Ninja Assassin is not that gory when compared to the Japanese film Blood: The Last Vampire, released in May 2009 (Japan) and possibly the most anticipated film of the summer in Asia. Keeping true to the manga-animated film of the same name, bodies are cut in half and blood spews in the same exaggerated convention of Japanese animation.
Although it was very cool when the demon-like ninjas moved through the shadows, taking on an almost supernatural nature, the special effects weren’t really ground-breaking. Neither was the script. I have to agree with Blaine Kyllo’s review on cinemaspy.com, the script was not as strong as it could have been.
What sets Ninja Assassin apart is the depiction of Asian men. Undeniably, there are some stereotypes—the gangsters and the martial arts—but the cool-factor of these characters is unmatched. The main character, Raizo, was played by Korean pop megastar Rain. Yes, there were some corny “Keannu Reeves moments,” but this wasn’t the monotone performance of Jet Li’s attempts to cross-over into English-language movies. Rain’s character was witty, charming and came with a lot of sex appeal in the form of abs, abs and more abs. Kind of Ryan Reynold’s like.
The cast of Ninja Assassin also included some of my most favorite Asian American actors, Sung Kang (who plays gangster boss, Hollywood), Rick Yune (who plays Raizo’s nemesis, Takeshi) and Sho Kosugi (Lord Ozunu), who was the original cinematic ninja of the 1980s (see Enter the Ninja and Revenge of the Ninja). And unexpectedly, the female lead is black. Mika Coretti, played by Naomie Harris. Her character lacked development, but depicted her as the average American girl who works as a forensic scientist.
And Vancouver was the perfect place for an early premier. McTeigue, in an interview in vancouver.24hrs.ca, commented, “I was keen to come up here because there is a large Asian population that would suit the film.” Perhaps what he meant was that Vancouver has a strong Asian sensibility that goes beyond the large Asian population. Evident in the equally large number of non-Asian ninja cinema enthusiasts.
All that to say, I can’t wait to watch it again. I can look past the script’s shortfalls for all the other great stuff that makes this “a bloody, blockbuster martial arts extravaganza.” If you can’t wait until November 25 for the North American theatrical release, you can join the mass line-up of those trying to catch the VIFF’s final screening of the film on:
Friday, October 16 at 1:30 p.m. at Empire Granville 7 Cinemas, 855 Granville Street.
