Rain Gets a Small Pay for his Hollywood Movie
according to a latest report, in order to achieve success in Hollywood, Rain spent at least half a year last year in Berlin shooting(拍摄) Ninja Assassin(《忍者刺客》) , a Hollywood action movie. Every day, besides doing exercises to keep fit and taking on training in martial arts, he had to overcome language barriers. For this, he even fell ill. In spite of such hard work, he can get only a small pay of 8,300,000 Won(韩元) , an equivalent of 41,500 RMB. In contrast, with much less effort, he can receive for a single commercial(商业广告) an income of 1.2 billion Won (an equivalent of about 6 million RMB) , 145 times as much. An incredible gap!
In the second half of last year, Rain got an income of as much as 4.6 billion Won in South Korea. Usually, he can get 200 to 400 million Won even for some short entertaining performance. So, facing such a low pay in Hollywood, he is really tolerant. (www.nmet168.com)
As a newbie(新手) in Hollywood, Rain does not consider money the most important thing, Rain’s agent says. It is a good experience to cooperate with The Wachowski Brothers(沃卓斯基兄弟) , directors of The Matrix(《黑客帝国》) .

Rain拍好莱坞电影片酬少得可怜
最近有媒体报道，为了成功进军好莱坞， Rain去年至少花了半年时间在柏林拍摄好莱坞动作片《忍者刺客》(Ninja Assassin) 。他每天除了健身和苦练武功外，还得克服语言障碍，拍戏时一度生病。即使这么艰苦，他仍甘愿被压榨，片酬竟然只拿830万韩元(约人民币41500元) 。而他拍一个广告，不必累得人仰马翻就能捞进12亿韩元(约人民币600万元) 。两者相差近145倍，待遇悬殊，令人难以置信!
Rain去年下半年在韩国活动的收入高达46亿韩元。出席一些轻松且时间短的活动，Rain通常也有2到4亿韩元的入账。看来为了进军好莱坞，Rain真的很有“忍者”精神，对片酬之低很能忍呀。
其经纪人透露，Rain在好莱坞还算是新人，片酬并非最重要，这部戏能跟《黑客帝国》(The Matrix) 的导演沃卓斯基兄弟(The Wachowski Brothers) 合作，是相当难得的经验。
