Rain's interview in Germany "Everyone says it's a miracle"
07.08.21 Rain's Germany Interview "All are miracle,
Rain (Jeong Jihun) has built a close relationship with Berlin in Germany after he became an actor. Through his debut movie , Rain managed to walk on the red carpet of Berlin Film Festival. And now, his first Hollywood movieis also filmed in Berlin. Upon the third anniversary of MoneyToday Starnews (1st September), we had an interview with Rain who is currently filming in Berlin.
I haven't seen Rain for two months, he is still in good shape. Just that he stayed overseas for these two months, so he miss Korea very much. In particular, a lots of issues related to his agency are waiting for him to decide, so he hopes to get back asap.
He left Korea on June 15 to prepare for his LA concert and later he went to Germany on July 1 for movie filming until now. He said probably he can go back home around August 27.
This interview was done during Rain's rest day, i.e. Sunday (Germany time, August 19). Since the afternoon, we went through different places like restaurants, theatres, cafes and etc until midnight.
Rain took a photo in front of the church. It was the building remains after WW2 and meant to show people the brutality of wars.
&& " is going to bring lots of opportunities to me"
Rain has high expectation on. He trusts the directors, Wachowski Brothers very much. With a confident tone he said, "Since the filming, again I can feel it's an astonishing movie."
"This movie is going to screen in 167 countries. So before the filming started, I was thinking if there's any scene, at least there's a scene for me to perform myself. Well seems I was worried too much. My scenes were increased a lot during filming. I'm feeling good, emotionally and physically."
Initially Rain only had 30-minute scene but the directors were fascinated by him and added in more scripts for his part. In the end, Rain had 40 to 50 minute scene. Although Rain still needs to memorise his scripts, at least his pronouciation is quite accurate that his conversations has never been corrected once
Being asked about his feeling of filming Hollywood movie, "I can sense the power of huge capitals," Rain mentioned about the power of 3 hundred million US dollars as production cost.
Based on Rain's illustration, this is a big film production involved about 400 crews but the filming was finished in 3 months. It was because 12 cameras were used simultaneously for one scene and the scenes went through CG stage (Computer Graphic) immediately. Therefore the filming time was shortened.
"The extraordinary effects of CG shall be presented by this movie, the buildings and car racing are CG. The humans went through scanning beforehand, then use CG to incorporate the backgrounds and humans where necessary. During the filming, there was no real props but we had to play as if we were in the real environment. It was a bit strange but the filming was enjoyable.
In, Rain plays the key role of the story, an oriental car racer named 'Taejo Togokhan'. As the probationary Hollywood star, Rain received good remuneration from the film company.
As his debut into Hollywood, this movie is going to bring him lots of opportunities. He showed his confidence and expectation on this movie. In fact, Rain received invitations from other Hollywood film makers to make him play the main role.
This is where Rain came during the opening ceremony of Berlin Film Festival.
&& "The new trend in Asia and USA pop cultures"
Rain said, "From now on, the core of USA pop culture will be Asia." The Asian artists will be very active. Rain voiced his expectation, so far there is no Asian artist who succeeds in USA pop music, but in the future there will be someone.
In the past during Elvis Presley's age, no one ever expected the American Blacks could get into BillBoard, but 2PAC did it and later half of the BillBoard was occupied by the Blacks. Then, Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez and other Latin singers became the main stream in pop music. Rain analyzed that the next trend should be from Asia. Just like Chow Yun Fatt and Jackie Chan, who are the successful Asian actors in Hollywood movies.
"It's not right to say Asians cannot do it. No matter who, they should try it out. If I can't make it, then let my junior goes for it. If my junior can't, then it's the turn of my junior's junior. The door will open as long as we keep knocking on it, or else we just break into it?"
What Rain plans now is launching his album during the screening of the movie. Movie screening and album releasing in the same time forms the synergistic win-win effect.
is showing in June-July next year. So Rain plans to release his album in September. At this point of time, Rain is discussing the album making with two famous American music producers.
"The nomination in 'TIME100 Most Influential' and 'The 100 Most Beautiful People' bymagazine are because of fans support. Nonetheless, I would like to face the real judgement through my first (Hollywood) movie and first (USA) album next year. Things have to go on gradually so I don't expect the success comes so fast. Thus, that's is the meaning of my challenge."
Well "What should I do ifbecomes the box office champion?" It looked like Rain was joking but that revealed his confidence indirectly. This is the key stage in his USA development so he will focus on USA market in this period. Hence, he has no plan to release album in Korea next year.
Rain required me to take a photo for him, at the street nearby to his hostel.
&& "If I had a girlfriend... My dad is in charge of financial management"
In a TV talkshow Rain has talked about "Kissing with girlfriend on the street at Christmas eve." When I asked 'do you have any girlfriend', he spoke frankly "It'll be good if I have one". It was a different answer. It was something different from what I expected. Rain is working hard for his targets and put his personal life aside.
"If she can be someone who can control me. Feeling like a sister, relax, generous, play small tricks.... Of course it'll be good if she's pretty, perhaps pretty and kind-hearted. Must be someone simple. If you have any candidate, kindly introduce to me" (Chuckle)
Rain earned 5 billion from his World Tour, and the amount kept increasing with the income from CFs and other activities. Rain said, "Compared to those similar age groups, of course I earn much more than them. But most important, I realised what I dreamt for."
The starvation for few days, dance practices over days and nights and 2-hour sleeping time everyday pushed him to the current position. All he earns are equivalent to the sweats and tears he paid.
In his high school time, his family stayed in small house. Rain said he ever drank the water with cockcroach. After vomitting the insect, he swore with his tears 'Must buy a proper house with garden for dad and mum in these 10 years, let them stay comfortably.' He gave himself a huge target and he achieved it after 7 years. Last year, he bought a bunglo attached with garden at Seoul.
"To me, it is a luxurious residence, you feel good although you just look at it. But my dad is very satisfied and happy. He is proud of it."
Currently, Rain's dad is incharge of his financial management. Rain mentioned that it is because he is still young and he has other things to take care of.
Came to the end of interview, Rain again reminded the fans and readers to look forward to his achievement in USA.
"It's not easy to get a role with many scenes especially it is my first Hollywood movie. Everyone told me it's miracle. Next year, my USA album will be ready. If it does well, please encourage and support me."
