Jang Dong-gun Poised to Take China With 'Promise'

Digital Chosunilbo

Korean star Jang Dong-kun stands poised to take China by storm when "The Promise," a pan-Asian production surrounded by massive advance hype debuts on some 500 screens there on Dec.15. "The biggest release ever was for 'Hero,' which debuted on some 400 screens, co-producer and domestic copyright owner Showeast president Kim Dong-ju said. That the film is being given such a wide release at the height of the Chinese theater season shows just how much confidence the Chinese have in the film's promotion."

"The Promise" will debut on the same day in Hong Kong and Taiwan as well -- a chance for Jang to secure his position as a major "Korean Wave" star.

The W30-billion (US$3 million) fantasy action film aimed at the world market is directed by Chinese-born heavyweight Chen Kaige. Other leads in the story of love, friendship, betrayal, fantasy and action centered around a mysterious "book of fate" are taken by Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada and Hong Kong star Cecilia Cheung. Jang plays the legendary slave Kunlun, who is faster than light and stronger than an ox.

Originally scheduled to debut in Korea on Dec. 15 as well, ShowEast is considering a new date because the blockbuster "Typhoon", also starring Jang, is set for release on the same day.

"The simultaneous release in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong was a contract condition, so it would not be easy to change the release dates and we could suffer great losses, Kim Dong-ju said. But on a broader level, we are looking for ways to allow both films to survive, so we are looking at either advancing or delaying the domestic release date of 'The Promise' by a week or two."

Jang Dong-gun mempesona Negara Cina dengan film “The Promise”

Aktor Korea, Jang Dong-gun mempesona Cina ketika film “The Promise”, sebuah produksi pan-Asia, pada 15 Desember lalu. Dengan dikelilingi 500layar besar, dimana mengalahkan film “Hero” yang menggunakan 400layar, menurut Kim Dong-ju, seorang produser dan pemilik perusahaan copywriter. Film itu direlease pada musim teater film Cina tertinggi yang menunjukkan betapa besar kepercayaan Cina untuk mempromosikan filmnya.

“The Promise” akan memulai debutnya beberapa hari di Hong Kong dan Taiwan, yang mengukuhkan JDG sebagai bintang “Kirean Wave”.

Film ini mengetengahkan cerita cinta, persahabatan, fantasi dan action yang ditengahi “Book of fate (=buku nasib)” yang dibintangi aktor Jepang Hiroyuki Sanada dan aktris Hong Kong Cecilia Cheung. JDG berperan sebagai seorang budak bernama Kunlun, yang berlari lebih sepat dari cahaya dan memiliki tenaga kuat lebih dari seorang sapi.

Aslinya dijadwalkan akan direlease di Korea tgl. 15 Desember, dengan pertimbangan bahwa film JDG yang lain, “The Promise” juga akan ditayangkan di hari yang sama.

Penayangan simultan akan dilakukan di Cina, Taiwan, dan Hong Kong berdasarkan syarat2 kontrak, jadi akan sulit ntuk merubah tgl. Release dan akan berakibat kerugian, menurut Kim Dong-ju. Tapi pada tingkat yang lebih luas, kami akan mencari jalan agar kedua film ini berhasil, untuk itu kami memikirkan apakah akan memajukan atau memundurkan penyangan “The Promise” di dalam negeri.
