- Logan Hill, veteran New York Times contributor, hosts an advance screening of the eagerly awaited contemporary romantic comedy “Crazy Rich Asians,” based on the best-selling novel by Kevin Kwan. Constance Wu stars as a Chinese-American economics professor who accompanies her boyfriend (Henry Golding) to his native Singapore, where she learns that his family is not just rich, they’re crazy rich, and his mother (Michelle Yeoh) isn’t quite welcoming her with open arms. Following the screening, Constance Wu, Henry Golding, Awkwafina, Michelle Yeoh and author Kevin Kwan join Hill for an entertaining conversation about this Hollywood movie that puts an Asian storyline front and center, and about how audiences around the world can relate.
Filmed live at TheTimesCenter. - Zábava
Ms.Yeoh is tipsy and I am living for it. Great conversation.
Michelle Yeoh is gorgeous and on screen has eyes that cut through a brick. Crazy Rich Asians was a great movie. Cute, funny and extravagant costumes and sets.
Michelle the Legend! I could hear here talk all day!
Yeah she is a great asian. ASIANS BE REPRESeNTING
I love her!!
Can we talk about your looks thou
Hahahaha.. Yes.. I just love listening to her.
"Ooooh okay...I guess I can come to your set." she's too cute.
You are quite RIGHT miss Michelle Yeoh . I'm French origin Vietnamese. WE ARE VERY PROUD OF OUR ASIAN CULTURE WHEREVER WE ARE IN THE WORLD. IT'S OUR HERITAGE. LOVE FROM PARIS. 👍❤
Hollywood needs to make more Asian American movies!
Tetsuya Hayami ya, very fast people will sick about it !
Agreed. More representation means more actors and movies
I love how Constance addresses how this doesn’t tell all Asian stories-but it is a platform for telling one and opening the door for even more stories to be told, and Henry’s welcome response for him being half-Asian and the issue of Hollywood constantly white-washing Asian roles. Overall they seem like a really progressive and awesome cast and crew!
He said in germany we know asians are the best. Heil Asia.
True!
Amy Sutherland a
Amy Sutherland hello there, is necessary to watch Hollywood movie about Asian , Asian made wonderful movies a lot, just that they didn't know about it !
@I'm - How do you know they are small?
Constance is so talented, she speaks with depth, i guess she must quite interested in philosophy. Awkwafina is special, i like her voice
Constance loves literature.
Constance is very very intelligent and very very beautiful!!
Michelle Yeoh so eloquent. A much more thoughtful and fun interview than others I've seen. Congratulations to everyone involved.
Michelle! Everytime Michelle talks I'm so mesmerized! Legendary for sure but shes just amazing!!!!!!
Henry is so goddamn well spoken, nice job man
Hell yeah, i agree jake... also combine that with his handsome looks and charm, giving him the lead male role!
I have taken several Asian American Studies courses (HS and college) and I can definitively say this 45 mins needs to be mandatory study in every future AsAmHist course. So much insight into the shared Asian American experience. Love each and everyone so much I want to cry.
yeah everyone needs to learn about asians through tv!!!!
@@amylieu6084 TV and movies and media has always been poor at representing all minority groups. Which makes me feel so proud that everyone involved in CRA is so passionate about importance of Asian representation in Hollywood.
amy lieu I think you don’t get the point. It is not about Asians being in a movie. It’s about Asians living abroad being in the main roles, it’s about everyday life of asian living abroad. It is so much more relatable and normalizing than asian people being owner of Chinese restaurants, or Kung fu artists as in other movies. That’s just not representative.
@@amylieu6084 Your point is an angle. You have talked about other great Asian films. There definitely are a lot from Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Korea, India and other Asian countries. There are still many other angles to explore. A significant point to this film in particular would be the representation of the Asian diaspora who would stand to nurture a stronger voice and greater pride of one's ascendent culture. And beyond that, universally, the film can be said to be one among others that pave tributaries of avenues for diverse cultures to reach heights that they so deserve (but which have been long in coming due to the lack of representation in Hollywood or other such like areas ).
amy lieu its about representation of Americans who are of Asian decent, you may think this film is crap, but a crap film that highlights the lack of representation, in a supposedly liberal Hollywood, will go a long way in today's climate,
Michelle Yeoh is the Queen
3 thumbs up for michelle yeoh's powerful delivery during her conversation with constance at the mahjong table, reality of the line hits hard (you're american in thinking... not ka ki nang)
Constance Wu is incredibly well spoken. They all are! But hearing her speak, specifically, is like hearing a philosopher or spiritual teacher.
Akwafina's comment on My Way was spot on. In the Philippines, it's considered fatal to sing My Way, coz everybody got their version of My Way and you can get into fights when you sing it🤣
Here for Awkwafina. She's so smart and confident and gorgeous.
Saw the movie. It was AWESOME! I loved it. I get turned off by rom coms because it always so white but this was AMZING and REFRESHING. Awkwafina KILLED it in this movie. I could see her be a star. Also Michelle Yeoh was fantastic as always. I'm black and its so good to see some diverse films right now.
Corey Lucas thank you fam! We are all working towards a common aim
"Always so white" Man, what a racist statement. So do us a favor and don't see our white movies and you won't have to be so turned off.
Love Constance Wu & that she quotes from the Mr.Rogers documentary on LOVE "Won't you be my Neighbor". That tells me so much about her & what a treasure she is for America, the Asian diaspora and the entir humsn race.
When Henry Golding says Singapore is all "pedestrianised". That's the best thing ever coz almost all the sidewalks have shades especially those close to HDB's (housing units). One can literally walk from a bus or MRT/ LRT station to their houses without getting wet. It's very useful when you're caught with no umbrella during a heavy downpour or when it's 35 degrees in a blue cloudless sky.
Michelle Yeoh is so fun!!! great casting!
SHE GREAT
Finally, an interview with Michelle yeoh!!
I saw the movie!!! It's one of the best rom-com movies in ages. There were so many funny and touching moments. I loved it.
my gawd, i love michelle yeoh.
Constance is so eloquent and intelligent. I also love Awkwfina, so naturally comedic! Dying at her response on feeling like the movie was already out -- 44:07. This is my favorite CRA discussion for sure.
Michelle, is my new favourite woman! When I grow up...I wan't to be Michelle Yeoh!
I love Fresh off the Boat and Dr. Ken and I love you Constance Wu for speaking out and standing up. I love Crazy Rich Asian. I am Taiwanese American born in Taiwan but grown up in United States and both my children are biracial Asian American. This actor have given them a chance in entertainment if they choose to one day.
people say Constance comes off disinterested in interviews but it's because she's an intellectual and don't waste time on basic questions.
Seems like Constance and Michelle don't get along that well...
That just sounds like giving yourself an excuse to be disinterested, but thankfully she doesn’t seem that way so I’ll just move on from this comment.
This makes me so proud to be an Asian-American
This made me LOVE Crazy Rich Asians even MORE. I loved the fashion, but now I CRAZY love it. Excellent piece
I had never seen a movie interview as informative as this. Like how the actors speak about their role and having their own perspective about it. Constance Wu is surprisingly smart! Also Henry. They are all incredible! Well done! Kudos to Kevin Kwan 👏🏻
Probably the best and meaningful interview they had!
My son wanted me to see this movie and I thought it was going to be a reality show ... was I surprised with an all Asian cast. Absolutely not. I watch films from around the world, but this was one I wanted to watch with everyone I know. Great movie, great story and GREAT acting. See this movie. Loving the conversations.
Michelle Yeoh as a person is a woman with refined dignity and depth. I feel that to touch her heart would take you on a journey towards mystery and intrigue. I would so dearly love to spend a week with her and just listen to the insight she had accumulated throughout her very dynamic and inspiring life. Very few people have moved me so much.
Hope to see much productions with her tremendous talent and style.
Although she was a little tipsy during the clip her composure was still admirable and dignified and I must admit charmingly cute, to say the least.
Excellent film! Certain scenes and dialogue made me laugh so hard that I felt like I had done a ton of crunches. Other scenes, I cried. I'm African-American. My point? This film definitely has universal appeal. Bravo.
Nice, notice how classy and sophisticated we asians are and how we use full words and sentences.
Ever see that in a black film,? nahhh dawg
Given that I'm not a fan of the "black film" genre," I wouldn't know. Also, I'm not sure why you felt the need to reply with a condescending insult. I wrote quite a complimentary comment about the film. I couldn't wait to see it, I absolutely LOVED it, and think if you took a moment to reread my comment, you might understand that I'm saying this movie has a love story to which any audience can relate, is so well done, and has such a talented and gorgeous cast, that anyone would love this movie. I guess all of that went over your head. Young people. Sheesh.
oh ok im soooo sorryy
No worries
Yeah LMAO, Asians really need money from the poorest racial group in america. I think we are not in desperate need of welfare money.
The romance and familial love definitely made this movie tops! Believable, all well done.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo...May there be many more of these QUALITY people writing, producing, directing, and acting to bring the tidal waves of world change my children and I are ready for. Would have liked to hear more from the novelist Kevin Kwan. Without his story, there would have been no film.
The script was so realistic. It's not even funny. I live that life growing up being not enough for my elders, Mothers, Aunties. So accurate.
12:25 Jon Chu is like an Ang Lee. That's the ultimate compliment.
Interesting interview. I really like Awkwafina’s responses the moderator’s questions. She articulated her thoughts well. Very insightful answers.
I love this Movie. Tears, Laughter, Fantastic acting ! Fantastic food too haha!
hhaah omg michelle was so lit... love her!
26:30 Awkwafina drops some truth bombs about needing to change the wider context on the roles actors are given. How race is portrayed in the media can affect how people are regarded IRL.
eggxactly son, all negative stereotypes of asians is because of the media
What about the lady who played granny. She has been around way longer than Michelle yeoh
David napier who is she . Whats her name
Michelle Yeoh is a big star made important movies like crouching tiger, hidden dragon directed by master Ang Lee, was a Bond Girl in Tomorrow Never Dies. Besides the most and super fun and beautiful. deserves all respect. as well as the entire cast of this movie that I did not know has references to my favorite book Pride and Prejudice😘💞💕💖💖💖💖
SHE MAKE US ASIANS PROUD>> ASIAN PRIDE!!!!!!!!!
Michelle Yeoh is a true pathfinder and maverick.
I WANNA SEE GEMMA HERE :(
Love rom-com movies . This movie is going to be hugh box office all around. Beautiful casts
So beautiful. Makes me so proud to be Asian.
omg! so proud of u all.. represent.. too many dragons and tigers "actors" are hidden and crouching for too long
This was great. Entertaining and very informative
Why someone dislike this when has chance to be in main lead and speak about this problem been hidden for so many years
That LV jacket though....
hahahaa michelle is giving it to them, she is lit!
I saw it 3 times. I bought the DVD and the digital copy. I’m half Asian and I brought my white girlfriend to it and she cried at the wedding. Then she began hitting me because she didn’t want to cry. 😊
That’s a win
Eloquent all of them !
Love how woke these guys are. Wouldve been awesome to have Gemma Chan there!! other than she looks like an ethereal goddess, she's quite smart as well (Oxford educated).
Saw the movie and it’s a 5 plus stars I am amaze with the stories non compare with to joyluck club seriously
Joy luck club was stupid. It only perpetuates the Asian male stereotype as non-desirable in the west media.
Not for nothing but as an over 50 white male, I loved this movie. What I seen was characters that could be any race, I saw a group of people who had a variety of different people in the group. Funny, serious, the way out there friend. At the end of the movie, it was just a love story
Awkwafina❤️
Wasn't "Crouching Tiger" an all asian cast? And Michelle Yeoh was in that too.
but it was not a Hollywood movie
I love the movie 🍿 was awesome 🌟🌟🌟
We're tired of Hollywood and its politics... wish the actors just act and not going into politics. This actor is spot on. Crazy Rich Asians came right at the moment when we need fresh story, fresh place, fresh new faces and romantic story. Highly entertaining. Well done!
Can we have a sequel
Constance sang I Will Always Love You on Fresh Off the Boat
Yes we do.
awkwafina is definitely tipsy lmao
was there alcohol served at this event? cause im seeing my asian flush being represented here too!
They had a bit for rose before coming up on screen :p
Is ken mr chow from the hangover he’s so funny man
I love the movie. The whole cast is wonderful. There is sort of “arrogance” attitude with Constance Wu but I appreciate her honesty. Like she said, she considers a success when what she does is true to her heart. She does not equate it with money. And she keeps repeating this saying that she is very proud of her show “Fresh of the Boat” which should be considered a trailbrazer for telling a story about Asian community. This movie might be more of a big deal for most people but the success of her show probably opened the door for this movie to be made.
We need Asian social justice warrios. Give them a katana or num chunks and we will defeat all enemies to social justice !!!
You with me Gan//
Gan Libisono, I don’t see the arrogance at all. Have i missed something?
Yes you white dumbass.
amy lieu your attitude is fucked up, you are an embarrassment to all Azn
amy lieu, were you talking to me?
but where's Gemma?
Michell Yone with actully good commentry's on problems I have with this movie.
What did Costance say she sings in karaoke?
keep building real life
Yes my Malaysian
yeah Amazon TV series!
yah we asiasn gonna be the number one minority again!
I hope that the "Dancing with the Stars" will consider Michelle Yeoh in their next season. She have the experience as a ballet dancer and the martial arts background is a big factor for her to join. Let's have a diversity in dancing with the stars. She is fabulous to be one of the contestants there. Looking forward to that. 👌
I love Michelle Yeoh!
Ken's worked with Childish Gambino & Awkwafina, sings RHCP. w00f!
funny , the master of storytelling himself is the least questioned by host and the least talkative .
Oh good observation! Maybe he wanted to give the actors the pedestal because this movie finally gave his book(s) a voice.
Can the black comedy films hire Awkquafina?
lmao
That would be so funny
Icould almost believe that they did have drinks before this interview coz of their Asian flush!
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Michelle Yeoh
I definitely do not want to disappoint Michelle Yeoh. But my own parents... whateva! (Kidding)
Asians stick together like rice
YEAHHHHH WE gotta stick together sista. ASIAN PRIDE>
Good for them!
yah u better watch it whitey. We asians be representin!
Lol, absolutely!
😊
Is it just me or are most of them glowin reaaally bad even Michelle Yeoh? 😂 LMAO
ASIAN FLUSH. They said they had rosé backstage. Michelle was DRUNK. LOL. But still wise & fabulously entertaining.
The interviewer wasn't very good at transitioning the convos smoothly.
Why you didn’t invite Kris Aquino the actress from Philippines?
Crazy Rich East Asians
seems so crazy
This movie had a lot of western elements. That's why it appealed to the masses. I thought this was a classy movie, some areas were a bit tacky.
Could they have a more lackluster, disappointing description? No mention of who's being interviewed or even what they are going to talk about.
Let's hear a story about asian gangsters in highschool to boss level
Sonmeone that’s too common, what about Mexican gangsters, Irish gangsters, Black ganstas, Russian gangsters....etc
It's hard to hear very successful--and well remunerated--actors play the victim role as ethnic minorities who aren't fairly represented. Constance takes a shot at Brad Pitt for being normalized and thus not having to self-consciously represent a marginalized identity. A couple of generations ago, the country's demographics were so different that the sheer question of representation for certain groups hadn't yet appeared on the horizon. At the same time, the big studios owned the stars just as the major record companies owned musicians. In contrast, Wu can thrive as an actress now, both on TV and in film. She has surely paid her dues and paid back her loans, but she needs a more accurate picture of the profession's history....She also seems torn, as all the panelists do here, between accurate representation and "diversity" or roles. In fact, Asians do tend to fill certain niches and embody certain values; it's not stereotyping to say so. It would be silly to make a movie about an Asian football lineman. But a good story with good writing is going to show that young person who wants her tiger mom to lay off or love her unconditionally in her depth and authenticity. I'd like to see 'that' movie. Let Brad Pitt play the father-husband, and the kids can be mixed race or adopted by him, while the tiger mom is their natural parent.
As for open casting, if we're going to have Asians play Othello and Desdemona, then let Pitt play the last emperor??
All that said, "Asian" includes many different countries and cultures, though Singapore may be that rare melting pot.
It is NOT gonna be easy for Asian American actress to get casted for roles in American entertainment.
'Crazy Rich Arabs'; 'Crazy Rich Italians'; 'Crazy Rich Americans'; 'Crazy Rich English'; 'Crazy Rich Chinese'; 'Crazy Rich Malays'!!!; etc., WOULD!! EQUALLY be a GREAT success!!
Constance Wu hating big time on Michelle Yeoh
It's great there's another film with a full Asian (Chinese) cast. All but the male lead who is interracial. They STILL wouldn't bank on an Asian (100%) lead. And how many years has this effort taken to make happen?? Why not Russel Wong? Maybe they thought Russell looks too Chinese (I think he's mixed as well). Jason Scott Lee?
Duh Henry Golding is more Asian than most being Asian is not just being Chinese American.?.
Crazy Rich Asians followed by Crazy Rich Asians' Wedding, Crazy Rich Asian Kids!
Henry Golding's make up...
