 She said she didn't allow me. She said she didn't allow me. She lied. She lied. Big shout out to Warner Brothers for sponsoring this video. Yo, what's going on everybody? We are on set for the movie Crazy Rich Asians right now. Man, if you guys didn't know Crazy Rich Asians is based off of a very, very popular book and this is the motion picture. I don't know exactly what our involvement's gonna be. This whole video is just about us being on set. We want to show you guys what a real Hollywood set is. Yes, this is filmed in Singapore, but this is a Hollywood movie. We got my man West Chan right here. I just know that I'm not crazy or rich enough to be in this movie so it's an honor. I hope this movie blow up crazy so they gotta do CRA2, CRA3s. I wonder how Western they keep kept the food. We should probably do a Fung Roast food over there. Let's check it out right now. Fung Roast food, crafty services. Pop the lid, pop the lid. Smoked salmon. This is something you don't really see in Singapore. Alright, it is now time for me to get fitted and get my hair done and then eventually I will get my makeup done too. Look at West. I'm halfway through right now. That's how you get volume. You get the sticky gas beat. You push it forward, right? And then you go to the side and you just flip it up like that. Boom, boom. My man hooked it up. I got the satin blazer with the flowers on it. Let's get ready to rumble. She said she didn't allow me. She said she didn't allow me. She lied. She lied. Aren't you guys, we are headed to set. And you need to follow us. Hi, I'm Hazy. Hey, remember that scene from the dark night where like the Joker's like this? Oh look, there's a big baby with a big penis. Take a look. So these are like structures. It's supposed to look like trees. It's kind of like Alice in Wonderland when in real life. Alright, so David has this standing interaction scene where he's standing up. He's supposed to like pass some glasses, right? He's clearly in shot. Some other maybe assistant director replaces David with another guy. David sits down next to West. But then John M. Chu, the director, places that other got back with David. So now David's back standing up. John M. Chu, he has last say. Alright guys, so we just got selected to do some type of dancing scene here at the wedding. You know, they said who's comfortable dancing. I said, man, me and Richie, we got some moves back from elementary. I know what we do. We do. So back in the day, Andrew and I used to come up with dances and then perform for our classroom in fifth grade. So you know me about this. I'm a jerk. I might hit the jerk. I might hit the Millie Rock. The Millie Rock, okay. The jerk's kind of old. So actually I'm gonna hit the unforgettable dance. Oh, that's a good one. That's a good one. So I learned this phrase because in my scene, I was sitting next to these two elderly Singaporean women. Jian Guo Yi Dai. Jian Guo Yi Dai. Jian Guo Yi Dai. And that means building. So they built Singapore. What's going on, guys? We are here with the director of Crazy Rich Asians, John M. Chu. That's right. We're here in Singapore. Thank you guys for being here. Is it the first Asian American funded movie since Joint Luck Club? Yes, absolutely. So 25, 25 years? It's been a long time. What do you think is the one thing most people would be surprised about? I think they're going to be surprised by our cast. Our cast is so first class and they've never been able to be shown in this way. They are the leads, the romantic leads, the comedic leads, they're the villains. They're all these different walks of life and characters in this movie. We realize, oh shit, we don't see it this often. No, no. And I gotta shout you out for having the digital influencers, YouTubers on site. Yep, you guys are the future. Our movie's not going to solve every problem or be the end all be all Asian movie or something like that. It's really just to show it can be done once and crack that door a little bit so that you guys and everybody else can tell more stories, better stories. You can feel this generation is ready, ready than ever before. So what's going on? We are here with Henry Golding, the main star of CRA, Crazy Rich Asians. How can you describe the experience up to this point? This has been a ridiculous adventure and it's brought together an entire sort of pantheon of Asian actors from around the world who literally kill it on screen. And it's breaking boundaries for sure. It's representing Asia in a totally different way that has never been seen on the silver screen. Right, meant for global audience. That's what I mean. Yeah, the vibe really is, at the core of it, it's a love story. But the story is a journey from sort of coming over from America for Rachel and finding not her roots but just a different Asia that she was expecting. What is your favorite scene? I've got a fantastic scene with Michelle Yeoh who's a living legend on sort of from Asia to sort of Western representation. But she is Queen Bee on this set and she's the classiest lady. It's for me that was special in itself. So to be able to share some time just personally one-on-one with her is amazing. I was born in Malaysia. I've spent like three quarters of my life in Asia. I represent more of my Asian side than possible. There's people without the identities. Are we not allowed to have identities of being Asian? The hapers and things like that. Does it, are you more Asian because you live in Asia or are you more Asian because you're full-blooded? Where are the lines? We're just happy that Asia gets to be represented. And this is the biggest fight that we've been, you know, for bloody eons is to get something like this in the spotlight. But now the nitpicking starts. Yeah, it's always the case. But I mean, it's a good problem. It's a good problem. Exactly. Cheers, guys. Thanks for coming out. Thank you very much. Peace. What's going on, everybody? I'm here with Jimmy O Yang. So I actually auditioned originally for Colin and I ended up getting the role of Bernard Tai, the big sh**hole in the movie. So this crazy rich Asian movie, it's important in the Asian community obviously. But it's also getting a lot of actors in touch with their roots. I get to go back to Hong Kong after this. That's true. My parents are coming out here. They're going to show me around in Hong Kong. What is it like working with all other Asian actors? It's cool. I feel like we don't talk about it like, oh man, hey guys, we're Asian. We're working together. Like that's not what's happening. But I mean, like deep down, there's a sense of like pride, definitely. It's great because there's all these like great looking Asian actors, actresses. And then, you know, you got people like me who's not here for my looks, you know what I mean? But just, you see a full spectrum of Asian talent. Right. Yeah, that's that. You are here for your look. I'm qualified. I tried to do my part when I was an extra to try to be as funny as I could in the background. What are you doing? I was dancing in the background. I tried it. Yeah, it was like just adding it. It was a slow dance song and this guy was like, I was like doing this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Favorite scene in the movie. Oh man, it's got to be the bachelor party scene. This amazing set piece that we built just for this insane, richest, craziest bachelor party you can think of. And my character is the one that's forcing the other guys to go into. It's going to be really fun when you guys watch it. Yo, what's going on? We are here with Ronnie Chang, one of the stars of CRA, Crazy Rich Asians. This is always the end goal. I understand. I was hoping they would make an all Asian movie set in Singapore. I'm glad they finally did it. My dreams came true and I can retire. So I'm playing Eddie Chang. He's an investment banker. He's very materialistic. He's the cousin of Nick, the main character, trying to climb in society. Never happy what he has, even though he pretty much has everything. So pretty much you in real life. Me in real life, except even like, less ambitious. Like, lower class. Yeah. I think this is a real culturally significant movie. I think that it's very contemporary. The way we experience Asian culture is different how we experienced it 20 years ago. So now we do experience it with a lot of wealth kind of Asia. That's how the West interacts with Asia now. It's through these individuals of a lot of wealth. And we see them everywhere. We see them in shops, in expensive restaurants. We see them in colleges. Very contemporary, authentic story, I think. Yo, shout out to Ronnie Chang, man. I'm here with Mary Vogt, who is the costume designer for the entire CRA, crazy rich Asians. What, to you, was the most intriguing aspect? The cast. You know, I met with John, the director. He's fantastic. He's so creative, so interesting. But, and then when he started putting this cast together, they're just so fascinating. And each one of them is completely different. It's not just like one country. It's like, it's a very global look to them. And then some of them speak with a very strong British accent. So that gives it another whole flavor to it. So that's very interesting. Was it your idea to put the blonde wig on Aquafina? You know, I definitely wanted a blonde wig on somebody. Yeah. Was it interesting to play with all the different periods? Oh, you have so many options, right? Right. And because John also, he likes the sixties. And so he liked to have a little bit of a sixties flavor in things too. And then even, I don't know if you were here last night, we had like a little bit of a twenties feeling to some of the, some of the styles. You wanted to be high fashion, but like a hundred years from now, you would look at things and go, oh, that's really beautiful. What was your favorite outfit? I'd sort of love anything that Astrid wears, Gemma, because she's such a, she's such a sculpture herself. And it doesn't matter what she puts on. She just looks absolutely gorgeous. What was your thinking behind what I'm wearing? I like this on you. This is really nice. Yeah, this is very splashy. This is the splashiest blazer I have ever put on in my life. So it's a tux. Oh, it's a tux. See, I don't even know what's going on guys. We are here with Nelson Coates, the production designer for CRA Crazy Rich Asians. Nelson, what was your mindset going into this? Because the clips I saw are mind blowing. I wanted to create something visually that has not been seen in a Western movie, something that catches and is like a love letter, catches the flavor of everything that is Singapore and multi-generational, multi-faceted food, flowers, spaces, textures, really wanted to take you on a journey. We started the movie in New York. We kept all the colors really bland and that sort of thing. And then once you get to Singapore, all of a sudden you start seeing the color and color and that color just builds throughout the whole movie until it culminates in this crazy, crazy reception. The population from China that moved down into Singapore back in the day, a lot of people call them Paranican. They developed kind of their own style that is a crazy combination of patterns and ornamentation. And I wanted to have those textures and those patterns. And so we were recreating the tile, we were recreating the wallpapers. Then you have the next generation down, which is the parents of our main characters. They all have different tastes. All the cousins that are down at this level, it's all the modern, it's all the new, it's all that Western. So you would say if somebody's from Singapore, right, and they work at a history museum, they will be proud. I think they're going to flip out. Michelle Yeo walked into the kitchen set, which was the first set of Tarasaw Park that I'd done. And she looked and she goes, how did you know about the food? How did you know about the cooking bench? How did you know? And I was like, we have just been digging in of my team and I've just been making sure that that every little piece of quay is just right. And every, every like ice-kitchen is just poured exactly correctly. Everything is done. It's a small movie, maybe only in like the budget, but it's a big movie in its look and its spirit and the performances are off the hook. I couldn't be more excited about what John Chu and this whole team has done. Real quick guys, takeaways from this experience. First of all, big shout out to John and to shout out to Warner Brothers. I've never had a big director be so gracious. John knows how to embrace the digital side of things for sure. And just so much respect for the cast. Visually unbelievable. Hopefully you guys went out and supported this movie because it needs, it needs all the support, deserves all the support that it can get. At the same time, this movie is not going to solve all the answers about Asians in the entertainment industry. You know, don't, don't put it up to that level. It's a good movie. It could be a nice kick on the door though. No, for sure it's good. And shout out to John and Chu for making sure that we were in favorable positions. Thank you John. John, John, let us walk the red carpet C.R.A. Alright, check it out. Watch it. So a huge thank you to Warner Brothers for bringing us out to the set of Crazy Rich Asians in Singapore. It was a really dope experience because we got to meet Henry, we met Jimmy, we met Ronnie, we met John and Chu. And it was just so cool because these are a lot of guys that we keep up with to this day. I got high hopes for the movie. Hopefully it goes well. You guys check it out.
