Why? Did it used to have a different title or something. The current title seems fine to me and is exactly what I expected to hear him say in the interview
@@laurenj432there is so much more ((important)) ((meaningful)) things said in this interview aside from that 2.5 second tidbit. This is a beautiful interview with an idiotic title.
It’s not in any capacity…it’s related to the video and it got your attention, not sure what else you want. Had the tittle been anything else might’ve never even clicked and left this message… two options: 1. Make a tittle that meets your standard and gets no views 2. They have catchy tittle that gets your attention allowing those like you to leave their comment. I think option two is the better choice…
When he literally said in the interview that he didn't want Ariana the "popstar" to be his Glinda and yet the media is still using that to milk views. It's sad.
John Chu and his family are treasures. His father runs Chef Chu’s Chinese restaurant in Sunnyvale, CA and my family and I have been going there since I was a kid. His brother, Larry, is incredibly kind. I was so excited when John was getting praised for Crazy Rich Asians and I’m even more excited for Wicked. John and his family are fantastic people ❤
@@yasma5460 it happened years ago. She wanted her show Fresh Off the Boat to be cancelled, but it got renewed and she tweeted about not being happy about it. At the time it was reported that she wanted to go do other movies instead. People thought she was ungrateful so they cancelled her. She came back later and wrote a book and said she almost ended her life because of it and she also said she was being harassed on the show.
Honestly his films always feel so rich in color and in feeling. To quote Harry styles “it feels like a movie.” One of the few directors who makes me feel like a kid again.
That Constance could only get through a few takes of "You'll never be enough" hits so much harder knowing more about what she was going through at the time.
6:20 That line has traumatized so many people most especially Asians that I could understand why Constance could only power through 3 takes for the scene at max. Tears immediately went out of my eyes just watching the clip alone. Gut wrenching
Hearing that ... just is devastating. But what I personally realized is that the very few people that have said that to me have also been abusers. And nobody's. You are enough.
@@marsb7not to be rude towards what you went through, but Latin American is not a race (or ethnicity), but phrasing like that sounds like saying it is. It just means one was born in a country in the region of Latam. We all have different races and backgrounds in here, including White, like your mother in law. Gisele Bündchen is White, Samuel Nascimento is Black, Eunice Baía is Native American, Valentina Zenere is White, Pyong Lee is East Asian… They’re all Latin American.
@@maeduss Obviously when someone calls themselves Latina it means they are mixed race because that is the majority in latam. Don’t play dumb. Latinos with one race usually mention their race. They’ll say “white Latino” or “afrolatino” etc. If they don’t mention any specific race and just say “Latino” it’s because they’re mixed with many races. Or because their race is irrelevant to the conversation.
What a beautiful interview. Jon M. Chu has directed all of my favourite movies and I didn't even know. He's definitely my favourite director! I can't WAIT to see Wicked! It comes out the week of my birthday!
If it had a theatrical release I definitely feel it would have brought the generations together. It was a movie that had a little something for everyone to relate to and great cultural representation
I know the Chu family. Pillars of the community and a family full of really nice People, John included. If anyone finds themselves in the Palo Alto area, you have to go to his family’s restaurant, Chef Chu’s. You won’t regret it.
For those complaining about the title, the whole point is to title it something that will make people interested enough to click. I would more than likely NOT have clicked if it were titled anything else since I had no idea who this man was and now I’m very glad that I did. I’m sure there are other videos or articles more aptly titled to his career if you’re interested in searching those up. This one is surely serving its purpose in garnering views.
Jon M. Chu is so humble, talented, and really down-to-earth. I love his movies, especially Crazy Rich Asians. I enjoyed this interview and learning more about his career. Thank you!
Underrated moment of the video: finding out Miley’s old video of her and her crew dancing to 4 Minutes was a reply to the step up cast 😂 I used to LOVE that video as a kid!
This is awesome. He’s breaking barriers! I love how The Rock gave him that reassurance. As a Pacific Islander I’m not surprised he did that he’s an awesome guy!!!
I had no idea Jon directed every movie that really captured my undivided attention! He really captures moments so beautifully. So talented. The title needs to be updated/reworked. I guess not many people would know whom he is, unfortunately that's not what everyone thinks about, including myself. It's definitely time for the directors & behind the scene staff to get a lot more praise for their work. Everyone only recognises the actors. Not many people think about those behind the camera. Jon M. Chu - I see you bro! Ima be looking out for more of your work in the future and shall be re-watching the movies you've made that I already know and love! Keep the vision going! We need more of it in movies!
He won me over with Crazy Rich Asians. There were 3 distinct scenes that pulled me in. One in particular, made me feel like I was in the scene. I was completely present and absorbed in the moment. I rewatched that movie multiple times, cuz I loved the story and wanted to relive how he transported me in. It was magical. I know he'll do the same with Wicked. I can't wait to see it!
So glad I watched this, I really want the best for this man, he seems so genuine, earnest and passionate. Best wishes to him and his future movie successes :)
He deserves a better title but it sure is a great clickbait! I am so glad I found on this video. I can see the light in his eyes and how gentle of a person he is. So proud of him ☺
Everyone is mad at the title, but honestly it's the only reason why I clicked on the video. I would never have learned about this talented individual if it wasn't for the title, so thank you :)
guys they used Ariana's name to get people to click this video, its not insulting to him in anyway. 524,000 have discovered this insanely talented man and all the incredible things that he's done
I love this Interview!!. "Crazy Rich Asians" is my movie 👏👏I saw his name at the "end credits", but I didn't know who he was let alone he directed it 😃😃 I hope he directs "Crazy Rich Asians 2" if their is going to be one 🙏🙏🏾
I loved in the heights! I wish I could see it on the big screen again. It was SO much better than that stage version. Really captured the essence of the neighborhoods. I have watched it on DVD so many times I can't count!

he really deserves a better title for this video.
That is true, but I only clicked on it because of that title, and found the whole interview interesting and that I learned something about him ❤
he directed wicked. he deserves it.
It worked though. It reeled me in, and I watched the whole video and got to know and respect him
Yes
nah, if it wasn't for the title i wouldn't have clicked
Petition for them to change the title ✋
Why? Did it used to have a different title or something. The current title seems fine to me and is exactly what I expected to hear him say in the interview
🖐️

Clickbait titles are annoying but they work. I might not have clicked on this video if it was a different title.
"Wicked" is already a good title, what are you talking about
This title is such a disservice to this brilliant man.
Has the title changed now? It's just his name now
Yet, you clicked it.
@ it’s a dig at the original article title, not the video 🙄

@ no, it was the literal title of the article. Which I read.
this title is so reductive for him
When he literally said in the interview that he didn't want Ariana the "popstar" to be his Glinda and yet the media is still using that to milk views. It's sad.
Tbf I only clicked it because of the title and stayed cause the interview was interesting. So it did its job
@@ValerieAbena Well same but I thought than Ariana’s part would be bigger but the interview was still very interesting
Yes. And. That's how they can get views on this video and why people will click and find it. AND now he gets highlighted!
It's all marketing bruh. Liek I just clicked on this video because I saw "Ariana Grande" on the title
The Rock telling Jon "you look like my cousin" is one of the most Polynesian things I've ever heard LOL. IYKYK.
I'm half African-American and half Hawaiian. Believe me, I know.
Istg ur not lying one bit 😭😭😭
I clicked on this for the title, I stayed for him. Very inspiring and insightful

His brother, Larry, is incredibly kind. I was so excited when John was getting praised for Crazy Rich Asians and I’m even more excited for Wicked. John and his family are fantastic people ❤
He did his big one with crazy rich Asians!!! I could rewatch this film over and over again. Please where is the sequel?
Sadly I think Constance Wu getting cancelled made them lose all the momentum for a sequel.
@@myicyheartwhy is she getting cancelled ????
@@myicyheartwhat happened??
@@yasma5460 it happened years ago. She wanted her show Fresh Off the Boat to be cancelled, but it got renewed and she tweeted about not being happy about it.

She came back later and wrote a book and said she almost ended her life because of it and she also said she was being harassed on the show.
@@myicyheartwasn’t she sexually harassed constantly by a higher up? Hence the breakdown?
@7:12 is giving "MOM, YOU'RE EMBARASSING ME IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS!" I love this interview, it feels so comforting like talking to a friend.
Honestly his films always feel so rich in color and in feeling. To quote Harry styles “it feels like a movie.” One of the few directors who makes me feel like a kid again.
That Constance could only get through a few takes of "You'll never be enough" hits so much harder knowing more about what she was going through at the time.
What was it?
and what was it...? ☕️
STEP UP 2 WAS THE BEST IN THE FRANCHISE. I really like this guy he seems chill and humble!!!
no Wicked is !
@@MICHAEL-s9w2d no i mean in the step up franchise!
Step up was amazing
I disagree sadly. Nothing can top the original movie
TOTALLY agree! The final dance scene with the rain is SO cinematic!!!
6:20 That line has traumatized so many people most especially Asians that I could understand why Constance could only power through 3 takes for the scene at max. Tears immediately went out of my eyes just watching the clip alone. Gut wrenching
ooooof yup, can relate, that was the main core wound I had to heal and overcome myself. That scene hit so hard.
Hearing that ... just is devastating. But what I personally realized is that the very few people that have said that to me have also been abusers. And nobody's. You are enough.
As a Latina, I was put in the same situation by my white mother in law. Nothing hurts quite as much as a mother’s love 😅

me too!! i’m watching it three times the first week
Happy birthday in advance my loveeeeee ❤
Happy birthday for then! :D
@@YankeeDoodle_08 Happy birthday for then! :)
In The Heights is the best musical adaptation in the modern era. Wish more people would talk about it.
Yes!!!!! In the Heights is my favorite and soooo underrated, glad to see this comment ☺️
yes i love it sm im always so baffled more people dont know or love it and i was so happy when i learned hes directing wicked !
it was fantastic but his answers to questions about the race issue in the movie was definitely bothersome…
Best musical adaptation since Chicago
If it had a theatrical release I definitely feel it would have brought the generations together. It was a movie that had a little something for everyone to relate to and great cultural representation
crazy rich asians is one of the most beautiful modern films ever.
no it isnt lol
Hate the title for this video. Love the interview. My whole family is so excited to see Wicked.
He so clearly is incredibly at his job and a lovely guy to boot
What a great guy... he is so authentic. No wonder he makes such great movies!
I didn't want this interview to end. What a brilliant inspiring individual
I wasnt excited for Wicked, but this guy seems to really have something special and Im now excited to see how it goes.
it was absolutely fantastic
I know the Chu family. Pillars of the community and a family full of really nice People, John included.

Omg, I had never seen an interview with him, and I now have tears in my eyes and just love him soooo much!! What a gem of a human!

Woowwww his career is so interesting. Loved how he said that the perfect movie is the one that no individual person could have made alone.
Jon M. Chu is so humble, talented, and really down-to-earth. I love his movies, especially Crazy Rich Asians. I enjoyed this interview and learning more about his career. Thank you!
Underrated moment of the video: finding out Miley’s old video of her and her crew dancing to 4 Minutes was a reply to the step up cast 😂 I used to LOVE that video as a kid!
I’ve wanted a sequel to crazy rich asians for years😭omg I hope they do one eventually
6:21 that's crazy bc when the scene replayed I instantly teared up
Same!
Same!
Great interview! It was so good to hear his stories throughout his career thus far.
What a delightful man he is! So happy he has had so much success.
the title feels so insulting for his entire carrer
It's just a title to get more clicks, not everything that deep
Patiently awaiting the say I’m on set with John M Chu so i can tell him Step Up 2 was my favorite film growing up.
He has a perspective seasoned by experiences. I love people who are passionate about their craft. Jon is a gem ❤🎉
These are the type of questions I wish more interviewers asked directors and actors.
Love love I felt like tears stood in his eyes. Thanks for a beautiful truthful interview
This is awesome. He’s breaking barriers! I love how The Rock gave him that reassurance. As a Pacific Islander I’m not surprised he did that he’s an awesome guy!!!
Hate the title, love the interview

i agree with other commenters that the title is a bit reductive HOWEVER it did make me quick on this video RIGHT AWAY so there's that 😅
Jon M Chu is so talented and always comes across so humble and genuinely kind.. loved hearing his stories about Spielberg.
aww that dwayne johnson moment was so sweet
It really was ❤
Im watching the video on mute with subtitles and got chills just hearing Jon describe Cynthia's audition
He’s so humble and down to earth!
What an incredible and talented person you are, Jon Chu! Thoroughly enjoyed this interview🤌🏾. Can’t wait to see your vision for Wicket!
ppl complaining about the title, I get it, unfortunately that’s the way to grab the most views to give this genius man the recognition he deserves
Thank you for posting.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE STEP UP 2 CAST BATTLE MILEY OMFGGGGGG
He seems like such a nice humble guy
The way he talks about his experiences is so humble and inspiring! I really hope he gets more an more opportunities to show his talent and hard work
Very insightful interview. I loved this!!!

What an honest and sweet way to bare yourself. Great job, Mr. Chu! We'll be waiting EAGERLY for your next display of talent!
Jon M Chu you are incredibly talented! I can't wait to see all and each of your future projects.
chills when he was talking about the you will never be enough scene
I love how honest and raw he is… it made me emotional cuz it’s relatable
Thanks

Proud of you Jon! What a great interview ❤
Great interview he was him, i couldn't stop crying. Thank you
I love Crazy Rich Asians. It was a beautiful and emotional movie.
Y’all need to give this man more credit and update the title of this video
He deserves a better title but it sure is a great clickbait! I am so glad I found on this video. I can see the light in his eyes and how gentle of a person he is. So proud of him ☺
Great interview!
What a lovely human being. Amazing interview.
7:32 I freaking love in the Heights. Lately my favorite movie
this is a really fantastic interview
So happy to learn more about Jon!
I remember the Miley Cyrus dance off!! What a throwback, definitely a piece of my childhood.
3:52 Asian parents will humble us sooo quickly 😂
Can’t wait to see more of his work. He is here to stay!!!
What a humble and awsome professional and human being. So inspiring 🤩
Everyone is mad at the title, but honestly it's the only reason why I clicked on the video. I would never have learned about this talented individual if it wasn't for the title, so thank you :)
Such an honest and real conversation ❤

Chu recently published his memoir and it was an enjoyable read!
Loved this interview

Fantastic interview! Jon M. Chu is one of those people that deserves and SHOULD work in the industry!
I love this Interview!!. "Crazy Rich Asians" is my movie 👏👏I saw his name at the "end credits", but I didn't know who he was let alone he directed it 😃😃 I hope he directs "Crazy Rich Asians 2" if their is going to be one 🙏🙏🏾
This man is kind and a brilliant, underrepresented artist!!!!
And the title pushes the underrepresented narrative.
Amazing interview
The title is so bad
Step up 2 has been my ultimate all-time movie!! I grew up with it and still rewatch it, what a legend this guy is
What a cool guy! Can't wait for WICKED!!
Amazing video, he needed more than this title tho.
jon chu you're amazing!!
You're amazing! I'm so proud 👏
give this man the interview title he deserves
I loved in the heights! I wish I could see it on the big screen again. It was SO much better than that stage version. Really captured the essence of the neighborhoods. I have watched it on DVD so many times I can't count!
Ariana Grande is perfect to voice act thumbelina with Ben barnes as the voice of prince cornelius in a CGI animation remake ✨🧚
This is so inspiring!
He’s so down to earth 😭
this made me cry!
Finding out he directed "In the Heights" just made me so much more excited for this movie!
