Gong Hyo Jin Worries about Getting Hate for Being Mean to Kim Soo Hyun in ′The Producers′

 

92378002.jpg

 

Kong Hyo Jin expressed her worries with her character being mean to Kim Soo Hyun. 

On May 11, Kong Hyo Jin talked about her character, Tak Ye Jin at the production presentation of KBS′The Producers. 

In the drama, Kong Hyo Jin will play Tak Ye Jin, the PD for Music Bank with a snappy and fierce personality. 

"After my play, I was scheduled to film a movie in June, but the script for The Producer was so fun. It was really funny. The comedy code of writer Park Ji Eun is the kind of comedy that I really like. I thought it was funny and had good feelings for it." 

 

"Of all the characters that I had, Tak Ye Jin is the harshest. In the first episode, there are no scenes where I smile and it′s full of scenes where I educate the rookies. But in between that, the things that she lacks, created by the wittiness of writer Park Ji Eun, are charming and adorable." 

"With a role where I let out my anger and scold others, I′m relieving my stress. I worry that I′ll get hate for torturing Kim Soo Hyun and giving him a hard time, but it′s been fun," said Kong Hyo Jin, laughing. 

The Producers is about the crazy roller coaster ride of events that occur in the variety department of a broadcast station. The drama was co-produced by writer Park Ji Eun and variety PD, Seo Soo Min. 

It begins May 15.

[spot] ‘The Producers’ Kim Soo-hyun, “I’m Inhabiting My Roleâ€

This post is also available in: Korean,Chinese (Simplified)

[spot] ‘The Producers’ Kim Soo-hyun, â€œI’m Inhabiting My Roleâ€

The production presentation for KBS’s Friday-Saturday television series ‘The Producers’ was held on May 11 at The Raum in Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu in Seoul. The cast members Cha Tae-hyun, Gong Hyo-jin, Kim Soo-hyun, IU along with the production team attended the event.

Kim Soo-hyun was cast to play the role of new producer in the entertainment division, Baek Seung-chan. Kim on this day made everyone laugh by asking for attention and support every time he spoke.

534345-1.jpg

Just 28 years of age, actor Kim Soo-hyun has become a megastar ever since he appeared on television series ‘My Love from The Stars’. And interestingly, he got to pair up with screenwriter Park Ji-eun for the second time following ‘My Love from The Stars’. “I was lucky to team up with her. Everything was well-timed,†said Kim Soo-hyun.

“I found Baek Seung-chan interesting and wanted to give it a shot. He is a clumsy guy, and I thought it could be fun to play him if I just let myself go a little bit and inhabit the role. I wanted to show the public a new side of me,†he added.

However, this was not his first time to play eccentric roles like Baek. Kim happened to play a fool in film ‘Secretly, Greatly’. To the question asking whether it is a coincidence or there is any reason for him to play the roles that are similar in some ways, he replied, “No, there is no particular reason, and I don’t intend to choose those kind of roles. In fact, I believe they are actually quite different from each other; when I was playing the fool in ‘Secretly, Greatly’, I had to put all my energy into him. Baek Seung-chan is different; I’m trying to relax and go easy when I am playing him, in fact,†said Kim.

“My roles I played in the past and Baek Seung-chan may seem to have a few things in common; but Baek Seung-chan is a man who is likely to improve and move forward as time goes. I’m really looking forward to showing that part of him to the viewers,†the superstar once again asked for full support and attention to the drama.

Meanwhile, KBS 2TV’s ‘The Producers’ will premiere on Friday, May 15 at 9:15p.m.

'The Producers' sold to air in China for over $2.4 million

May 11, 2015

The rights to upcoming Korean TV drama "The Producers," which stars actor Kim Soo-hyun, have been sold to a Chinese online platform for over $2.4 million, according to reports Monday.

A staff member for "The Producers" declined to disclose the specific contractual sum, due to legal agreements, but said that each episode had "definitely" been sold for over $200,000.

The entire TV drama, which consists of 12 episodes, totals more than $2.4 million in broadcasting rights.

A publicity photo for upcoming TV drama "The Producers," starring actor Kim Soo-hyun (far right). (KBS)"The Producers," a drama series about an aspiring TV program producer, is actor Kim Soo-hyun's first acting role since the hit drama series "My Love from the Star" last year.

So far, the most expensive contract for a Korean TV drama shared online in China is "Pinocchio," a romantic series about journalists that concluded earlier this year. Each episode of "Pinocchio" was reportedly sold for $280,000, totaling $5.6 million for the entire series.

Recently, however, China has passed stricter regulations on selling foreign content online, which has resulted in a sharp decline in sales.

Foreign content must not account for more than 30 percent of total income of Chinese websites and must now acquire official approval by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.

The Korean TV drama "Hyde, Jekyll, Me," which concluded in March, was rumored to have been sold for $300,000 per episode to a Chinese online platform, but eventually settled for $100,000 per episode as a result of the new guidelines, which were passed last November.

The contract with "The Producers" at more than double the price has been credited to Kim's popularity in China and abroad.

"Chinese businesses are excited by the fact that 'The Producers' is the next project by screenwriter Park Ji-eun, who previously wrote "My Love from the Star,'" said one person working on "The Producers."

"My Love from the Star," which starred Kim opposite actress Jun Ji-hyun, was a hit in Korea and abroad.

Weeks before "The Producers" has even begun airing in Korea, the TV drama has already gained attention abroad -- and not just in China.

Posters for "The Producers" were showcased during the Cannes Film Festival last month at the Palais Des Festival building and also at the global content market and forum MIPTV Media Market.

The production team behind the TV drama series are currently in talks to export "The Producers" to other Asian countries and North America.

Korean-Chinese entertainment agency Ready China said that industry insiders were keeping an eye on the Chinese response to the TV drama, which starts airing in Korea on Friday.

"If (Kim) achieves more success (with this drama series), we are going to prepare a secure footing in China for successful hallyu stars to leap (into the market)," said the CEO Bae Gyeong-ryeol.

Gong Hyo Jin Talks Differences in Working with Jo In Sung, Kim Soo Hyun, and Cha Tae Hyun

Gong-Hyo-Jin-Producer-800x450.jpg

 

At a press conference for upcoming KBS 2TV drama “Producer,†actress Gong Hyo Jin shared about the differences in working with co-stars Kim Soo Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun and former “It’s Okay, It’s Love†co-star Jo In Sung.

 

“Jo In Sung is one year younger than me whereas ‘Producer’ Cha Tae Hyun sunbae is older than me, and Kim Soo Hyun is about seven years younger, so the [age] gap is big,†she says.

 

“Because we’re a year apart, when I was acting with Jo In Sung it felt we like peers. He is an outstanding actor who could take on a PD role, but an actor who has mastered how to make other actors and staff feel comfortable. This time, I [depict a character] who has been friends for over 20 years with Cha Tae Hyun sunbae, whereas my relationship with Kim Soo Hyun is that of a PD who is 10 years in and a newly hired PD whom I won’t even eat with one-on-one. Because the difference is so drastic, I am glad that I was able to meet these two while acting and believe I will be able to do entertaining and much more multifaceted acting,†she continues.

 

Gong Hyo Jin also talks about her individual chemistry with Kim Soo Hyun and Cha Tae Hyun, “With Cha Tae Hyun sunbae, my acting is very rough and comfortable. With Kim Soo Hyun, we try to help each other while acting. We are in the process of adjusting to each other. Cha Tae Hyun sunbae and I have a similar tone, so our chemistry was good without requiring any adjustment whereas with Kim Soo Hyun we are still adjusting. I think that’s why I am able to [approach] the acting earnestly.â€

 

“Producer†will air its first episode on KBS 2TV on May 15 at 9:15 p.m. KST.

I really like this docu-style format they are going for - it's very refreshing for a kdrama and also allows them to be a bit more witty and inside jokery more. I hope it turns out well.

 

 

I LIVE for the doc style, so I'm stoked. 

 

They're fashion clashes so hard at the press con  :lol:

I wonder what the ratings will be - they have a lot of pressure to be a hit because of KSH and the star studded cast. But ratings have been really low everywhere - I think 15% will be good, they will be OK as long as they are above 10% anything below that would considered low for them.
