FOX TV (NEW YORK) -  GOOD DAY

INTERVIEW

via The Cloud - ratoka


Rain interviews with Fox TV’s Good Day New York!

The mighty, mega-international Hallyu crown officially belongs to Rain. They even called him the MICHAEL JACKSON of Asia. Dude, right? Our new leader has brought his fellow country citizens, and all of Asians, including Asian Americans to a new victory. This is really a first in a long time that a Korean star has made a huge debut in film, as the main star. Here Bi (pronounced BEE) is interviewing on national, non-cable TV station FOX, for the Good Day New York show.

It seems even though English is his second language, he did pretty well, given the accent he has we can still understand him and the feeling of what he is conveying was able to show through.

Although he seemed a hair nervous at first, he quickly gained some composure and became his funny self. Serious, then funny, then thoughtful. The man’s strong charisma shows through even without his native tongue.

Try not to be too tough on the guy, I mean his typical day lasts 14 hours jumping from interview to interview.

Here’s a video, take a look! He even does some dancing with the host :)

14-11-09 It’s RAINing Ninja Assassins


It’s RAINing Ninja Assassins
Posted on 12 November 2009 by Korean Beacon

we were invited to a private screening of “Ninja Assassin” and there is one word to describe this action flick: BLOODY! This movie has more blood than a lot of horror flicks. More importantly: What about the movie? What about RAIN? If you’re looking for great fight scenes, then this movie will motivate you to sign up for a Kung Fu class because it’s the best fighting sequences since ….. I can’t remember. There really hasn’t been any good martial art flicks in a long time

RAIN is very believable as a Ninja because he’s built like a killing machine and his martial arts technique is impeccable. However, we’re not necessarily authorities in martial arts. Btw, will someone out there find us RAIN’s workout regimen because he is stacked! RAIN definitely kicked ass when he was fighting and had that bad ass look, but his lines were limited to single sentences. There were no long Al Pacino soliloquies or speeches; just quick responses and one liners from RAIN. He was very monotone but I guess that’s how Ninja’s speak – without much emotion. He did have some funny one liners that got a chuckle out of the viewing audience. But the audience spent more time leaning back in their chair because of the numerous bloody scenes.

So what about the movie? Is it worth watching? The plot itself is a bit thin and the use of flashbacks is used quite liberally which disrupts the continuity of the film, but what saves this film is the fighting sequences. In fact, the audience probably wanted more of it because they were so well choreographed. I kinda wished it had the pacing of “Speed” and had more insights into the ways of a Ninja. Don’t expect a classic like Enter the Dragon but rather an entertaining martial arts flick filled with a lot of blood and blades but thin on plot.

What’s fascinating about this movie is that it’s opening up as the big holiday movie during Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 25th opening) and it’s a movie that’s dominated by Asian faces. Is America ready to watch a bunch of Asians for a couple hours? Naomie Harris has a big role but it’s RAIN and a lot of other Asian brothers in high definition. Though Ninja Assassin is a martial arts flick, it’s really the first movie since the Bruce Lee franchise to have an Asian man in the lead role of a Hollywood made film. It’s important for it to succeed commercially to get more Asians in front of the camera.http://www.koreanbeacon.com/2009/11/12/its-raining-ninja-assassins/

 Spoiler free review and thoughts on Ninja Assassin

« IVY double takes in High Cut
Spoiler free review and thoughts on Ninja Assassin
Hoc on Friday, November 13, 2009 3:15AM


I just came back from the Ninja Assassin screening at the Warner Bros private theater. It was a packed house full of press and other writers which, having gone to many advanced screenings for Asian movies, that’s a bit unusual. It’s also a sign that this isn’t just an Asian movie, but a super big Hollywood Blockbuster type fare. Waiting for the film to start, I was trying to think of the last time a movie with an Asian male lead had this kind of buzz leading the way. Really, there hasn’t been any. In addition to watching a movie, I was thinking perhaps I was watching history too. Well we got there early so there was a lot of time to think — don’t judge me!

I’m the type of person who doesn’t like to read advance reviews or any type of spoiler so that I can go into the movie with no pre-conceived notions. That was a bit hard for Ninja Assassin with the amount of PR material that Warner Bros was sending us. And the first thing handed to us as we checked in was a 28-page all-you-need-to-know package about the movie. Plus I remember there was an early edit screener already seen by many people earlier in March that did not do well.

Fortunately for me, I chose not to go to that March screening because the version I saw was in one word, BADASS. As I continue writing this post, I’m really going to try hard to not use that word like little school girls use exclamation points when they’re excited.

The knock on Ninja Assassin is the over the top storyline and use of hokey Asian folklore. That unfortunately seems to be true. So if you’re the type to look for excellent plots or Oscar-caliber screenplays, your other alternative opening that week is Twilight: New Moon, in which case, pick your poison.

The fighting and action scenes – BADASS! I did not know until watching this movie that ninjas can throw stars faster than guns can shoot bullets. It has been a long while since ninjas were give the Hollywood treatment and boy is the wait worth it. Every single fighting scene was so edge-of-your-seat intense. And there were MANY fighting scenes. Every time a ninja steps out of the shadow, they made it look so cool. Every time ninjas killed someone; you’re just like, “wow, that quick huh?” To quote the PR package, “ninjas are the elite special forces of the martial arts world,” and they showed us why in the movie.

Everything Rain did, he made it look really cool. In general Rain was commanding with his scene presence, but in a quiet, Jet Li-esque manner. The PR package has quotes from the director and producers saying Rain was the perfect choice for this movie. I definitely agree with that, but feel it was also by default. What other Asian actors, American or otherwise, could have done a leading role in a big budget Hollywood movie?

Even though this isn’t a comedy, there were some great one-liners. One of which, is a crack about Rain looking like a boy band member rather than an assassin. I think I was cracking up for like a whole minute. Not many Asian critics were there so I was kinda embarrassed for laughing so long, but it was funny! Rain himself had some great one-liners which makes me think he might not be bad in a comedy…

For the ladies, there was a heartbreaking romance that’s typical of Asian dramas where the love was forged since childhood and the build up to the first kiss is the climax coming after many years of shyness and awkwardness.

I kinda wish friend of Ningin, Sung Kang, got more screen time. I thought he role in the movie was going to bigger, but that’s not the case. Same with Rick Yune, who always seem to play the bad guy in these types of movies.

So would I recommend this people? Yea, I would for the fighting scenes, because Rain kicks ass, and because it’s a big budget movie with lots of ninjas! It’s a good formula for success and the filmmakers of Ninja Assassin did well to focus on that.

Don’t forget we have tons of Ninja Assassin Giveaways and I’ll be doing an interview with Rain tomorrow. If you have questions for Rain, you should let me know.

11.13.09 Exclusive: Rain Confirms He’s Still Considering Enter The Dragon Remake


A few months ago, just after some audiences got their first look at Ninja Assassin at Comic Con, there were reports that the movie’s star Rain had been picked to headline a remake of Enter the Dragon, the seminal Bruce Lee martial arts movie. With Ninja Assassin coming out in just a few weeks, there’s still been no confirmation that Rain will in fact play the role– but we can guarantee you he’s considered it.
Below see a very brief snippet from my interview with him, in which he confirms that he’s discussed the film with the studio (Warner Bros., the same people distributing Ninja Assassin), but in his words, “I haven’t decided yet.” Now whether that means that the studio isn’t 100% sure they want him, or that he’s not certain he wants to do it, I have no idea. My guess is they’re all waiting to see the response to Ninja Assassin before they make any promises. Anyway, check out his dodging the question below, and we’ll keep you posted if there’s any news one way or another.

[14-Nov-09][ningin]The Rain is coming down on Ningin, part 1

Today has definitely been one of those “I love my job” type days. Since most of you guys never had the experience of doing a press junket and interviewing celebs, I thought it would be good to go through my entire three hour experience with Rain and the marketing team at Warner Bros. And what a great team they have at Warner Bros. Everyone was so nice, open and chatty. I wish every studio was like that.
We’re going to divide this interview into three parts:

Part 1: Behind the scene and other side stories
Part 2: Interview with Rain
Part 3: Interview with Ninja Assassin director, James McTeigue

Let’s start this journey from where I was walking to Rain’s hotel from the Mixr office around 1pm EST. Almost immediately it started to rain and my first thought was, “how appropriate to interview Rain today.” The commute included passing through Time Square, aka tourist capital of New York City. There was a big crowd of Asian people massing and I was thinking that can’t be because of Rain, he’s suppose to be doing interviews now.

I think I got to Rain’s hotel at about 1:30pm and just expected a reception area with some chairs. I was quite surprised to see the following gourmet spread


As I said in my review, Asian movies or movies starring Asian people don’t really get this kind of big budget treatment. I can’t say this enough, Ninja Assassin is just huge for Asians in mainstream media on many different levels.

After helping myself to the food — mostly the desserts – I sat down at the first open seat. To my great fortune, I was sharing a table with Rain’s personal stylist who I奸l call Jane. Now, Jane is a cool person. In addition to Rain, she’s been the stylist of just about every major celeb. One notable story Jane told me was about her trip to South Korea with Ben Stiller for some movie promo. She said Ben is even funnier in person and that they would spend their free time playing Guitar Hero. Can you imagine how cool is it to play Guitar Hero with Ben Stiller?

Naturally I asked Jane a lot of questions about Rain’s daily routine, hairstyle, etc. Turns out, Rain does most of his hair styling by himself. By the way, Rain cut his hair very short compared to the long locks he had as Raizo in the movie. It’s dyed a warm brown as you can see in my candid photo of him. Jane says that for the most part Rain dresses and styles himself. She just does touch ups and minor tweaks here and there when needed.

Jane was also kind enough to show me Rain’s schedule for today. The poor guy had an early morning TV spot on the Today Show, about six hours of one-on-one interviews with a one-hour lunch break, three hours of TV interviews, dinner, and some local event where he’ll be making an appearance. All in all it was like a 14+ hour schedule. I was looking at the impressive list of magazines and websites that were interviewing Rain. Unfortunately, I don’t have photo recall memory so I can’t really remember the names of all those magazines/websites. One somewhat surprising thing was that Ningin was the only Asian media outlet on that interview list. But hey, I have no problems with that.

About 2:30pm I finally got to go up to Rain’s palace of a hotel room. Rain, however, was not there. His rep told me that he was busy being mobbed in Time Square by adoring fans. I said to the rep escorting me, “You have bodyguards going with him right.” The rep, we’ll call him Bob, said, “no,” and that he really had no idea how popular Rain was globally. I told him Rain is easily the Justin Timberlake of Asia, on his way to the Michael Jackson stratosphere. Bob then said yea, he’s been hearing that a lot lately.

While waiting for Rain, Bob would tell me about how much Rain’s English has approved from Speed Racer to Ninja Assassin. He says the difference is “10 times” better in a one year span. Not only that, but Rain works hard before every interview to make sure he’s composed, relaxed, and natural in his speech. He would talk to Bob after each interview to see what he did good and bad and how he could improve the next time. This is not surprising for the fans that know Rain as the hard-working, perfectionist.

Another Warner Bros rep, we’ll call her Susy, updated us that Rain is on his way back and needs to finish his hot dog. That just made me laugh out loud to think that of all the good (but pricey) restaurants in Time Square, Rain settled for a hot dog street vendor. I guess it was Rain after all, stopping traffic on my walk there. It’s funny that I passed him without knowing it.

Susy also told me an interesting story in the Washington D.C. airport involving Rain and some overly rambunctious Clouds (fans of Rain). To protect Rain’s travel plans, Susy would book multiple flights during each leg of the Ninja Assassin press junket. That way, people wouldn’t know which flight Rain was leaving on or which gate. Apparently that wasn’t enough as according to Susy, “little Asian girls were chasing Rain wherever he went in the airport

[14-Nov-09][ningin]The Rain is coming down on Ningin, part 2  


Ningin has interviewed BoA, the Wonder Girls, Utada, and many other wonderful Asian celebs. This interview with Rain felt bigger than all of those. For me, part of it is because of what we’re interviewing him for, the Ninja Assassin movie – the first big budget Hollywood film with an Asian male lead and a mostly Asian cast. Plus, it’s Rain. There’s no bigger male Asian pop star in the world! I was actually a little nervous but, more excited than anything else.

I don’t know if the Warner reps picked up on my nervousness or not, but they told me not to worry and that Rain is a great and easy guy to talk to, much easier than a lot of other non-Asian celebs they worked with. I said yea, in general, all the Asian celebs I interviewed before are like that. It’s part of the pop-factory education process over there.

The room was a lot larger than the photo shows and that red couch was where Rain and I sat for the interview. My actual time with Rain was about 25-30 mins. 10-15 of those minutes was spent listening to Rain and his friends play around with some 3-D camera from Fuji. He was taking pictures of Time Square with it. One of those pictures is a big Ninja Assassin billboard in the middle of Time Square. I can only imagine how cool it is to see a billboard of your movie, with you in it, at the epic center of New York City.


Warning: Parts of this interview contains movie spoilers.
Hoc: Thank you Rain for taking the time to talk to Ningin.com. We have many fans of yours on our site!

Rain: No problem, anytime.

Hoc: Was shooting Ninja Assassin the hardest thing you’ve ever done?

Rain: I trained for 8 months, 6 hours a day. 5 hours were spent on martial arts training and one hour on total body fitness. (looking somewhat sad) The hardest part was the diet where I could only eat chicken and vegetables.

(The press package had a note from the Director saying Rain joked around about eating noodles, drinking beers, and smoking cigars when the shooting was over.)

Hoc: How did you prepare for your role as Raizo? Did you dress up like a ninja for two months and sneak up on people? What was your inspiration?

I think Raizo is a very strong character. He was very fun to play. I watched a lot of ninja movies and cartoons.

Hoc: Like which ones?

Rain: Ninja. That’s the title of the movie and many other samurai shows.

Hoc: Describe how you felt when the Wachowski brothers asked you to play a ninja?

Rain: I love working with the Wachowski brothers; they take good care of me. When they asked me if I wanted to play a ninja, I said, “how could I say no to that.” We have a very good relationship.

Hoc: Do you plan on working with them in the future?

Rain: Yes, I hope so but nothing definite right now.

Hoc: Those weapons in the movie look razor sharp considering they could slice people in half and all. Did you cut yourself or get hurt during the movie?


Rain: Yea I did get hurt a few times.

Hoc: Wait like, broken bones, deep gashes, stuff like that?

Rain: Yes I did get cut a lot; all over my body and even on my nose and my face. But they took good care of me, and I’m fined.

(starring at his face, I don’t see visible scars.)

Hoc: Are you concerned about getting typecast? Or do you only want to do action films. You’ve done two films in the US, Speed Racer and Ninja Assassin. Both are action-oriented movies.

Rain: Speed Racer was fun but very different from Ninja Assassin. The work is much more intense. I did much more training for Ninja Assassin. But I want to do all types of movies — horrors, romance, [and] comedy.

Hoc: Speaking of comedy, and I know Ninja Assassin isn’t technically a comedy, but you had some really funny one-liners in Ninja Assassin, (doing my best Raizo voice) “I don’t mean to be critical, but you need to finish now.” (This was during a scene where Rain was tied up and Mika was trying as fast as she could to unlock all the restraints on Raizo while a ninja was moments away from slashing Raizo and Mika in half.) I’m wondering if there’s a chance we’ll see you working with Ben Stiller or in some comedy movie soon?

Rain: (Rain didn’t know who Ben Stiller was, his translator had to tell him he was a famous comedian. Sorry Ben if you ever read this!) I would love to do comedies with Ben Stiller or anyone. I have no projects lined up but I’m currently looking at three scripts. I want to do all type of movies. You might see a comedy film very soon! That’s all I can say right now.

Hoc: Well, I’m sure you just made a lot of people happy right about now.

(Rain asks me a question.)

Rain: Have you seen the movie? What did you think of it?

Hoc: (about to say badass, but stopped myself.) I thought it was fantastic. The fighting scenes were so intense and unreal. I especially liked the scene in the bathroom where you were given your first assignment to kill. It may not have all the special effects and choreography, but it was so visceral, like a life-or-death brawl.

Rain: What about the rooftop scene? That’s my favorite scene in the movie.

Hoc: Aw man, that was a great scene too. It’s the one most oft repeated scene in the trailers and at this press junket. It was where Raizo finally decided to betray his father and family. Overall, it was a powerful and sad scene because Raizo nearly died and was the turning point of the story. I half-expected Raizo to killed a few people and run away. I didn’t think he would stay and get cut up like he did.

Rain: (nodding his head as I talked) I really enjoyed shooting that. It was a lot of fun.

(Director James McTeigue goes into more detail about that scene in part 3.)

Hoc: What do you on your days off?

Rain: I would love to sleep. A good day for me is if I can sleep in.

Hoc: Ok, besides sleep, what do you do for fun?

Rain: I like to play sports. I love basketball and baseball and anything where I move around a lot.

Hoc: Oh you like baseball (I’m a huge Yankees fan). What’s your favorite team?

Rain: Lakers. Oh baseball team, I like the Yankees.

Hoc: You’re not just saying that because you’re in New York are you?

Rain: No, I like them a lot.

Hoc: Then you must be happy they won the World Series?

Rain: (smiles) Yes I am.

Hoc: By the way, do you play video games?

Rain: No, I hate games, and never play them.

Hoc: Ok thanks for a great interview, I had a lot of fun!

Rain: No problem, thank you. Bye.

I came in with a bunch more questions for Rain, but unfortunately didn’t get around to asking them. Perhaps next time. He was so easy to talk to, I felt like I could talk for hours. Then again, I’m sure a lot of people (especially girls) would say that in Rain’s presence. Everyone talks about how nice and easy going Rain is. I got to experience that firsthand. And I have to say, it felt pretty good.

[14-Nov-09][Fan acct]Ninja Assassin NY promotional event ~Autography party at Giant Robot  



Today is Black Friday the 13th and the NY weather was not good. It is very windy, cold and rainy day. However, it still has approximately 60-70 people lining up outside Giant Robot Store which is located in East Village of Manhattan. We all are waiting for Rain. He arrived around at 8:45pm. He wore dark blue jacket and black sunglasses. This is basically an autography party (which we didn't expect at first). Rain arrived and got start immediately. About 5 people at one time entering the store. The store is very small. Rain sat on a chair with a table was decorated with a lot of Ninja Assassin posters. Most of participants were American (White/Black/Korean/Chinese women and guys) and they were not Rain's fans (good news! Rain needs fresh American fans). "Hello" or "Hi" Rain would say to each people, then he signed on the poster and gave to us.  Each person would get one poster for sure.  Some of them were Rain's fans, they would prepare CD albums for Rain to sign.  He was so nice signed all of them slowly. And occasionally he handshaked with fans. My hand was iced cold when he handshaked with me. Sorry! Rain.

The entire event lasted about 45 minutes. The black big size bodyguard told all participants stepped aside before Rain left the store.  Everybody was so polite and discipline. (well, this is America) We didn't push each other. We all stepped aside and let him leave.  He jumped into his car. wow! Surprised! he took up his sunglasses and lowered the car windows.  He even told the driver turned the interior light on.  We could see Rain clearly.  He waved and said "Good Bye" loudly to us.
It was a happy Black Friday. In the event, Rain smiled lovely and occasionally held conversation with participants such as spelling their names...A,B,C. He was so cute when he spoke English.

[TV리포트 박영웅 기자] 가수 겸 배우 비(본명 정지훈)가 미국 폭스TV의 유명 프로그램에 출연해 월드스타의 면모를 뽐냈다.
비는 13일(현지시간) 미국의 최대 방송국 중의 하나인 폭스 TV의 아침 간판 프로그램인 ‘굿 데이 뉴욕 (Good Day New York)’에 출연해 영화 ‘닌자 어쌔신’을 소개했다.
‘굿 데이 뉴욕’은 정치, 경제, 과학, 건강, 문화, 스포츠, 엔터테인먼트 등 사회 각 분야의 소식을 심층 있게 보도하는 Fox TV의 간판 프로그램으로 카메론 디아즈, 제이 지, 니콜라스 케이지 등이 출연할 정도로 인지도 있는 프로그램이다.
영화 ‘닌자 어쌔신’ 프로모션의 일환으로 진행된 이번 인터뷰에서 아나운서는 비를 ‘아시아의 마이클 잭슨’ ‘한국 팝 센세이션(K-pop sensation)’ 메디슨 스퀘어 가든에서의 공연에서 매진 사례를 기록했으며, 타임(Time)지가 뽑은 ‘세상에서 가장 영향력 있는 인물(The Most Influential Person Who Shape the World)’로 소개했다. 
이날 비는 ‘스티븐 코베어 쇼(Steven Colbert Show)’에 출연, 댄스 배틀을 했던 비의 영상을 본 아나운서가 춤을 따라 하자, 그에 대한 응답으로 가벼운 댄스를 선보여 갈채를 받았다. 또한, 격투기 훈련 과정을 묻는 질문에 태권도를 자랑스럽게 소개하기도 했다.
지난 11일 ‘닌자 어쌔신’의 북미 지역 프로모션을 위해 미국 워싱턴 DC로 출발한 비는 현재 뉴욕에서 프로모션 활동을 진행 중이다.

MYFOXNY.COM - Actor Rain visited Good Day New York to talk

about his new action movie "Rain." It stars Rain, Naomie Harris, Rick Yune, and

Ben Miles; is directed by James McTeigue; and is produced by Joel Silver, Larry

Wachowski, Andy Wachowski, and Grant Hill.
>MOVIE WEB SITE
PLOT SYNOPSIS: Raizo (Rain) is one of the deadliest assassins

in the world. Taken from the streets as a child, he was transformed into a

trained killer by the Ozunu Clan, a secret society whose very existence is

considered a myth. But haunted by the merciless execution of his friend by the

Clan, Raizo breaks free from them…and vanishes.
Now he waits, preparing to exact his revenge. In Berlin,

Europol agent Mika Coretti (Naomie Harris) has stumbled upon a money trail

linking several political murders to an underground network of untraceable

assassins from the Far East. Defying the orders of her superior, Ryan Maslow

(Ben Miles), Mika digs into top secret agency files to learn the truth behind

the murders. Her investigation makes her a target, and the Ozunu Clan sends a

team of killers, led by the lethal Takeshi (Rick Yune), to silence her forever.

Raizo saves Mika from her attackers, but he knows that the Clan will not rest

until they are both eliminated.
Now, entangled in a deadly game of cat and mouse through the

streets of Europe, Raizo and Mika must trust one another if they hope to

survive…and finally bring down the elusive Ozunu Clan.

Rain in NY at Giant Robot  

Hey Everybody! It’s Tatiana. I just got back from the Rain event in NY. I got to meet him  and get his autograph. He was soooo nice and his hands were sooo soft and warm (what I needed after waiting outside). Here are some pics.
