"It was OK meeting you" is a freaking amazing line.
Came here to say this haha
It got a belly laugh from me
I’m gonna start using this to traumatize people
Disappointment just like my Son.
Its so passive agressive that its funny ah
Steven is a really versatile actor. all of his characters were believable.
I actually totally forgot it was the same person
I know hes amazing
@@sebastiana2035 That tells a lot about the acting abilities of someone !
That CEO character was brilliantly portrait! Fantastic control of his voice and facial gestures. Bravo 👏
The founder accent and character was fantastic.
I always forget how good of an actor Steven is after only seeing him play himself and his dad for a few months, but damn he really pulled off that CEO
that british accent!!!
That's all smoke and mirrors though. If you believe in the character, then it's real. The accent, the walk, the stature, the composure...that's all for the audience.
Yes, kinda true in a sense aswell.
2:44 “Disappointment, just like my son”😂
I love how upfront the CEO is about running a Ponzi scheme
pretty unrealistic hahahaha
You'd be surprised. That's all essentially startup 101. It's not about making a long term successful company, it's about making one that looks successful now, selling it and then doing it all over again.
@@robadc Sell the future, today!
Literally FTX in a nutshell lol
Ye
The Founder part is movie-worthy. I was so surprised by the transition of the comedy to intense thriller/drama. Stellar editing and writing.
with script writing style seen in ie. better call saul who could resist. no more emotional damage of boring hollywood superheroes.
Yeah that was really cool
It’s a Wolf of Wall Street reference 😉
@@MagnusAnand Yup quite clearly. But they took the ball and ran away with it in their own way :P
@@Laharal55 They did it brillantly
"sell your house of cards while it still looks like a palace"
What a line. Give me chills down to my spine.
Is that original or is it from somewhere?
I'm impressed af by this guy.
LITERALLY PAUSED THE VIDEO AND WROTE THIS LINE DOWN
same
So easily impressed
What does that mean here?
“It was okay meeting you… Disappontment, just like my son!”
that kills me every time XD
"My grandma run fasta than your code" this. This is comedy gold.
My grandMATHA runfastathanyorCUD
Standard Steven's dad. The comparisons are great!
It's only on the 4th interview I noticed Steven was playing in all of them.
LOL I'M DYING! ROASTED
@@Zorgdub that's because your rr really observant
Steven’s CEO acting was so good. I forgot I was watching CZcams for a second and thought I was watching a movie.
He sounds like a British actor
@@10secondmemes34 I want that to be my boss
@Dave fun fact he is being a part of movie as an actor as mentioned on his channel story
Highly uncomfortable watching Steven's mouth open and a BBC Sherlock Villain accent coming out.
Repent to Jesus Christ
“The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.”
Zechariah 14:9 NIV

Wow the CEO founder segment was so good. Color correction, script, music, shot calls, lighting, performance, editing.
Yeah I literally thougth I was watching a movie
the violins were a very nice touch.
accent!!
Rewarched like 5 times that part. Amazing
Very intense
That last clip feels like a scene from a TV show. I can already see the plot, I love the characters, and it looks incredibly professional.
We, the people, need to see this made into a show.
It was already made. I believe it was the Enron movie.
It's about window blinds
made me thought of succession
Oh yeah defineley
I want McConaughey or Chris Bale to be the CEO in the movie
FTX guys saw this video and played their roles perfectly... Especially the CEO part.
just about to say that after rewatching this
Underrated comment
The JCU got me hyped. Eric wang’s about to cause some emotional damage
lol
Amazing collab Steven!!
Yooòoo
Emotional Damage👡!
Your acting is so good Steven. Especially when you acted as the CEO. You deserve your flowers 🌹🌺🌻.
Absolutely Exceptional Acting..............(P.S: your Dad still thinks you're a failure😤)
Steven's acting is so good!!
He is a professional actor and work in Chinese movies.
“Steven’s acting is better than Joma’s acting” EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Yeah
@@loxdrevous9103 Hahaha but we gotta give Joma credit for the great production/script for this video
His British accent was sooo good!!!!
Holy cow, The Founder CEO gave me goosebumps. Awesome acting. 11/10 would watch again. This is better than 99% of actual movie acting I've seen in recent times.
Now I'm angry that there is no show to watch called "The Founder".
Someone make it about a struggling engineer who risks everything to move to a tech city and join a startup.
Could have him not be able to find an apartment and living in his car, using wifi at a coffee shop to apply for jobs and study, and he sees the Founder talking on the phone about his company, googles it, applies, and then cue this scene after he is accepted post 3rd interview.
The one scene is shot, edited, and acted so well that I want to write an entire series.
Give it a "Matchstick Men" vibe and a lot of grit about struggling to "make it" and the hollow sense of accomplishment once you do.
There actually is a movie called the Founder that is about how the founder of McDonalds founded McDonalds
- I want it to go all wrong as the employee has to start committing crimes to keep the house of cards together just a little longer and just a little longer as the founder assured him the payoff is going to get bigger.
@@BlueMarten That would be a great twist
Or you could make it-sounds like great creative vision only needs drive
@@gbm6882 I would love to have the time. Working at a start-up actually right now and it takes a lot of time. I do indie game dev for fun(all art, music, code, design, SFX, lore, etc should be out in 2035 lol) and play music. I have a wife and a 1.5-year-old. If only I had more lives to live or more hours in the day.
6:12 “Eric…welcome to the company” the facial expressions - the little knowing smirk, the tone, the attitude are all top tier
I forgot that he was CZcamsr for a second and thought this was movie
So true
@@sparky-xz1nb he is actually an actor :)
@@rayzell4633 really? I'm impressed
@@sparky-xz1nb Yeah, he was in Shang Chi the marvel movie
Man!!!
Steven's acting for CEO was so on point!!!
Cinematography (not sure what should I call it) and direction were so good not to mention the script!
he should won an Oscar
@@ranie4877 yes
Was that an Aussie accent?
@@tamagalvin Brittish
For reals. When is the whole movie coming out? Serious talent.
I love how Steven can be a very serious character and an overly-emotional one. I love the diversity he can bring. Truly has a talent for acting, in my opinion.
The Founder CEO segment was incredible. Want more of something like that.
Damn, I always thought of Steven He as a comedian, but he is a damn good actor! The CEO part felt like it was straight from a movie.
Daniel why am I seeing you everywhere
That is bcoz of the bg music, it felt that way
I mean he is a actual trained actor
Comedians tend to be pretty good actors
Venti latte with extra whip cream pls!
The scariest part about having Steven He being your interviewer is that he deals emotional damage to you.
First
how are you so fast wtf
3RD
Dude how much CZcams pays you for commenting everywhere?
My man, you need to make more videos. You're famous!
That was one of the most phenomenal english accents I've ever heard an American produce. Quite stunning how you nailed the quiet clipped neutral not-too-aristocratic nuances of the accent. *Almost* flawless - I thought perhaps I might have caught the odd vowel sound be a hair off, but I could have been imagining it and honestly it was so good I am now not sure what your natural accent is.
@@aes8071 didn’t he grow up in shenzhen?
That would be a Chinese-born Irishman, doing an Irish accent.
That’s because he is Canadian 😂
I love the fact he pointed to the only hand that did not have a wrist watch.
I love the fact you said "only hand" like he had more than one hand with a wrist watch but only one without.
No joke: Steven He's acting is Hollywood level good. Time for him to legit breakout from CZcams. More please, Joma. I would pay to watch a feature length film with both of you.
Weird
Yeah
He is an Actor
Don’t send him to Hollywood yikes
Uh... I don't know about Hollywood, but he's really good at playing different characters really well!
“Disappointment just like my son”
LMAO it makes my day!!
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE!
Son: emotional damage
The CEO part is a cinematic masterpiece. 👏
Anyone else feels like that Founder, CEO arch was so impressive they felt robbed out of not being able to indulge in a 2 hour long movie? If that was an actual movie (and PLEASE for the love of God make an indie movie or at least a short film out of it!!) that segment would've been the best teaser I've ever seen hands down.
"My grandmother run faster than your code" That's an absolute EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Emotional damage? what the fuck is that?
😂🤣😂🤣😂true
Reminds me of people I used to work with...
I felt it
Absolutely 🤣
You know, coming from Steven's own channel, I know he acts well, but the part of CEO that he did, it was nothing like he's done before, it was extraordinary, it was brilliant!
Lol, you would almost believe it's from Hollywood lol
Funnily enough, the CEO skit at the end was probably closer to reality than the others. :)
Camera work was also good, making this role stand out.
@@EliomarGarcia love when all parts really click together
damn! that was so well acted!! the final round was so damn good. for a moment a thought i was watching an actuall movie!
the music, the setting, they even worked in a blindr joke!! when YT is more entertaining than hollywood!
Man, Your short movie is g o o d!
You caught my attention.
Excellent edit, composition of scenes and music, switching between scenes...
Funny, dramatic, tense... Excellent acting. And a truthly depiction and criticism of contemporary society.
Your work ought to be shown on the short movie festivals. And be awarded.
I am from Croatia and I appreciate Your work.
Fuiyoh this is so funny 😂
Come la uncle roger
You noticed me 🥺
Joma just got approval from Uncle Roger, unlike Jamie Oliver.
We want a colab between you three, and more, please.
Fuiyoh
Man, I loved this sketch. The final round with the CEO, looked like a thriller series I would very much enjoy watching.
Have you heard of a little show called Succession?
They asked me the lightbulb question at SpaceX … 😂
I would've deadass said "I don't know I'm going to Google it"
DAYUM how did I miss this !? It's awesome ! Also the last one, absolutely perfect in every way. I knew Steven was a pro actor but I was still surprised
Steven is a phenomenal actor and can do so many accents seamlessly. At times I literally forgot he was playing the interviewer and I just thought it was a different guy his voices, costumes, and acting were that good.
@WhaTsàPp+⓵⓺⓺⓻⓶⓵⓹⓶⓹⓪⓸ hhhjhhhhhh he Yu yyyhhh. you baby girl I jv j6
Hahha "good luck with your other interviews it was okay meeting you" 😂
Yeah 🤣
5:40 and ahead doesn't even feel like a CZcams video... it feels like a straight up serious drama movie
The content. Its so beautifully made and written - this is hard to believe to come from a Data Scientist. This is a direct translation of who Joma is possibly - his thoughts, humor, ability to think deep and see through the patterns of society or startup culture combined into a script.
And as you think abt all that, we already missed the surprise element. How Blindr is slowly being born out of this. The way they semi-introduce Blindr here is impeccable.
When Steven spoke mandarin and Josh said he’s Cantonese so doesn’t speak it …Steven’s reaction had me weak lmfo
Disappointment just like my son 🤣
It was okay meeting you
Wait a minute, but the interviewer's English accent sounds so Cantonese....
@@shuhaoshang It doesn't make sense... Can't get it
Ok, this is way better than it has any right to be. Stven's acting is insane, and the script was also amazing. Plus, no way I was expecting a backstory for Erik Wang mixed in so masterfully
2:34 "It was okay meeting you," is just a fantastic line.
This is most excellent! Steven He, really showed off his acting capabilities. Great script and transition. Great work!
Ok na that ending was actually insane, such a plot twist and so beautifully acted by Steven it made it seem so perfectly real, that final one was absolutely beautiful.
Totally agree
Came for the humor, stayed for the award-winning acting!
"Award winning" Seriously, how low is your standards?
@@amxaas4450 but at least not bad …
@@amxaas4450 ??? lmao that CEO part was legit Movie level acting I don't know what u mean
@@amxaas4450 have you seen what kind of stuff wins awards? This acting was better than a lot of them
That last clip left like im watching a movie or a series ....such a great scene and stevens acting was just too good, good editing, direction overall the last scene was like cherry on the top
"My grandmother runs faster than your code"
*emotional damage*
Joma is such a great actor. I wouldn’t be surprised to see you actually work in a hollywood movie.
yeah like in all seriousness he's really good
I love how their’s reference to the Steven he storyline in the phrase “disappointment just like my son!” Perhaps he was trying to get hired for a branch of Beijing Corn.
Omg you both are GREAT ACTORS! 👌🏻 So happy to see you collab with Steven He
"Sell your house of cards while it still looks like a palace". Fucking brilliant line
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Respect
"We want hard cash, right?"
Like, damn! Steven He is on point with the role of the CEO! Chills! Can't believe that this is CZcams!
Supervillain vibes 🤩😍
3:35 - the absentee is the one you want, sometimes if they're in a good mood, they'll hire you because they're transferring their good mood into how they perceive you.
Hot damn, the Founder/CEO is eerily spot on, tragically realistic
"CINEMATIC MASTERPICE"
Founder CEO had tears in my eyes. Impressive acting
Now we're even getting post-credit scenes... It's only a matter of time before Joma liquidates the channel by selling it to Netflix
@Watsp me🎚️❶❹❷❹❷❷❾❷❷❷❻ we can see how many time you copy-pasted this comment you know fraud 🤷♂️
@Watsp me🎚️❶❹❷❹❷❷❾❷❷❷❻ Learn english before trying to scam first...
Ah, you see. That is where you're wrong
God Fxcking Forbid Joma joins Netflix
Yup, definitely been there. lots of start ups have this sort of rapid fire meet and greet. It's confusing af, since only 1 of those people you talk to has deciding power.
Steven is actually scary damn
6:44 it was a fantastic touch to put Bach's prelude in there with a violin, to make the viewer feel like this CEO is made of ethereal matter.
Music - Promenade of the Shadows (Prelude & Fugue in C minor BWV 847)
czcams.com/video/efbMzrNyI4c/video.html
@@akashkamble6236 Thank you!
@@akashkamble6236 thanks man, was searching for this
And not just the prelude--it's mashed up with the subject of the fugue that follows! Smoke and mirrors? I think not...
@@akashkamble6236You saved hell time for me. This is how music touches us...people search for it.
Damn this is too good
😍 thanks Garry!!
Woah Garry Tan has a CZcams channel?!
@@mango-strawberry he is putting out content out of the world
@@mango-strawberry You didn't know that?
@@jamesm2441 No lol.
I love to appreciate the art and passion with which each of your videos were created.
You guys should be actors, you deserve an oscar!!!
they actually are actors, lol
they should send in their resumes
You two are such a good combo. Would be great to see more.
Both of y’all are amazing actors 🔥
you were my child hood bro
the founder moment is awesome. "Enjoy the ride as much you can". Anyone know another scene / movie similar to that ?
I love how far you've taken the Blindr project in each video. Ties them together in a very witty way.
As a Brit, I would like to say that Stevens English accent is bloody brilliant. So impressed!!
Steven is a top level actor. He deserves to be in Hollywood. And the CEO part was insane!
4:24 completely random info : that is actually a mix of two different pieces.
For anyone curious enough, it's a mix between Johann Sebastian Bach's second prelude and second fugue from the well-tempered clavier
Do you know if there is a full version of this mix?
@@Ash-tz5gx no idea, I haven't looked for it xd
This guy's acting is actually next level, how does he still have time to be a coder?
Man said "It was ok meeting you". 😂 wow this was so good, the editing and acting were incredible
The CEO's speech reminds me of the scene in Wolf of Wall Street with DiCaprio and McConaughey
没关系， 没关系。 "Absolute dog water." Hahahah so funny
My man now pulling off Christopher Nolan type of open endings. Great video Joma, gave me tons of emotional damage for not knowing mandarin either
Damn- the lore is so deep now. I’m getting chills down my spine. Insane production quality and everything that went into this. Love it!!
Thanks. I needed this motivation boost as I'm going to start interviewing again.
I love Joma’s acting. It’s very subtle. He aims for realism which makes the piece grounded.
6:21 please just hire this guy as an MCU hero that just acts like normal guy but with highest IQ possible and being cool all around, or a villain
Perfect act, so real
0:26 the interviewer asked "what is the number of lightbulbs sold in the US each week?" But Joma answered 50 million, which is the number of lightbulbs sold in the US each year.
That’s why he was a weak hire and not a strong hire:)
If you pause on the note, he wrote "insane intuition, but doesn't show his work" so he probably thought 50mil was the right answer too.
Everywhere they exaggerate
@@paarthmishra7609 explain it to me like I'm five
He took numbers from one brand. You can google the real number is ~40mln / week.
3:07 this was epic lighting transition 👌🔥
The CEO script and delivery was phenomenal. I am eager to see this role casted in a movie, please.
Man, this is great comedy. But the part with the CEO , that is true art. The music, the shots, the dialog. You guys really hit the sweet spot there!
5:10 Oh my god, there's nothing more intimidating than seeing a fellow asian speak with some sort of posh English accent.
As someone new to coding I enjoy watching videos like this and pretending I understand what's going on
Loved the satire in this video. Joma and Steven were phenomenal and really believable in their roles. I am an aging Techie and can relate to all the scenarios presented in this video. Keep making more such videos, and I promise I will keep loving them!!
Steven He's accent game is STRONG 💪 ending scene has me fully convinced he's British
He moved to the UK before the US I’m pretty sure. He mentioned it once in a video.
Steven is such an amazing actor my god, i totally got into the scenes and forgot they were part of a skit, and not a movie
Wasn’t expecting Steven here, but it’s always a nice surprise when he shows up
The Founder is not looking for capable working drones or a certain culture or feeling, he doesn't care about money, he looks for wisdom, unbreakable loyalty and real, everlasting value and progress and he archieves this with the truth and he finds it in the beaten down.
Incredible cinematography -- I was just laughing along and then boom, you hit us with the final round, amazing dialogue, beautiful camerawork, and OH MY GOD, the storyline! I could just feel my mind getting blown with the "window blind company" and then Da Wei being Eric. All your acting was top-tier, keep up the work! :)
I'll bite, whose Eric Wang?
@@adilmohammed6897 it’s a call back to one of his previous videos czcams.com/video/Hv6EMd8dlQk/video.html
"Window blinds company" killed me also :D
Joma: I don't speak Mandarin (1:32)
Steven: EMOOOOOOTINOAL DAAAAMAGE
I actually want to see a drama movie about Joma and Steven with that startup. It's so good.
your acting is amazing, this is the first time I thought 2 people where in the sketch instead of 1 doing both perspectives
The CEO part was sooo damn greatly done! i was totally immerse by the film. wooow! such a great edditing ! well done guys! well done!
"you can call me Eric Wang", Damn, how did I actually get chills there?? How am I this invested in Joma Tech lore???
the joma-verse is great :D
I don't get it...
I think the reference is supposed to be from James Bond
I’m not sure tho
@@joshuathomas512 Eric Wang is the founder and CEO of blindr
I feel that the last round is the beginning of a movie. Please do it
Dude the CEO part is freaky af loved it was absolute blast the first five round were just hilarious but the last was insane. Does the sound on the last part have a official album or soundtrack
