Lost opportunity to not call it "2 Crazy 2 Rich Asians."
😂
😂
Only if Vin Diesel comes out at the end of the movie and says FAMILY!
It's obvious why the film flopped in Asia. Most Asians in Asia do not relate or identify with the characters of the movie. In Singapore and Malaysia where the movie was made, Westernized Asians are still a small minority. Most people there do not speak English as fluently as the cast and do not even have the same mannerisms. In fact, most do not find the leading actor (who is half Borneo Dayak half English) and actress handsome or beautiful. In Singapore, the cast would be called Chia Kang Tan (Eat Potato in the Fujian dialect) meaning very Westernized. Mainland Chinese would consider the cast totally foreign or worst very strange.
I like Fung Bros. They are authentic and stand up for Asian Americans. Good work bros!
As a Malaysian, I am sick of all these rich and beautiful actors and actresses played professional victim of ‘woe to me, I am Asian American’ in every interview to promote this movie, and the grandiose, self inflated ego, OMG, they sounded like they single handedly eliminated poverty in Asia, instead of just making a movie.
Crazy Rich Asians is a book series. What they need to do is the 2nd book - China Rich Girlfriend and round it out with Rich People Problems. Essentially, follow Kevin Kwan’s story to a tee.
Sequels like this don’t do well. Period
It’s based off the book , which was wildly successful.
@@WhereToFind book is a second part as well that was successful? The video is referencing part two in the works with same story line!
Was like My Big Fat Greek Wedding. That was a hit, and sequel movies and TV show all flopped.
If they come out with a sequel , they better hire the best writers and directors to top the first one
Broadway musical?? 🤦🏻♂️ I am looking forward to the sequel, but will be hard to top the original, which was terrific on so many levels.
Exactly I loved the movie
My biggest problem with the first one is that it's defamation against actual rich Asians in Asia - real rich Asians in Asia owns at least a city instead of just a multi million dollar condo
The producer and writers have no idea what actual rich Asians are like so they're just basing it off middle class Asians and passing it off as rich Asians because they think that the middle class life is the best that Asians can do in Asia
I loved CRA. I'm not Asian (1% Asian according to my DNA) but I'd like to see more Asian and other POC stories.
Weird that the Fung Bros. didn't mention that Crazy Rich Asians was a huge flop in China! The film didn't do well in most Asian markets, it only did well in western part of the world. I think only Asians who lives in the west went to see it and most Asians in Asia didn't care for it. 😂 As for the sequel or show, it will do well in the west just like the first film but audiences in Asia won't care to watch it.
Really I really loved the movie watched it 4 times 😢
I think it’s hard for Asian in Asia to understand Asian American made film because due the difference culture environments
@@hsuehhs1 Maybe but Asians in Asia don't care for rich folks because some (many) rich Asians treat the less fortunate like dirt. I'm sure you've seen Parasite, right?
@@hsuehhs1 Weird, my previous reply got deleted. But what I said was that poor Asians in Asia don't like seeing rich Asians in movies. Many of the rich Asians in Asia don't treat the less fortunate well at all. Just like the film Parasite.
@@hsuehhs1 Maybe, but Asians in Asia tends to treat poor Asians like they're nobody. That's why Crazy Rich Asians failed in most Asian markets.
We need a Sequel for Turning Red! What plot should be.
Mei Mei is excited that her cousin is coming from China to Canada to live with her. Until she discovers that she is better than her in Everything. She has better grades. She can play violin and
Piano very well! Because of this Ming starts to compare her to everything she does. Soon Mei Mei loses it and lost control of her Panda and becomes much bigger red Panda!
“Even Gemma Chan is a bigger star…” Um, I’m pretty sure Gemma Chan is a bigger star than Constance Wu these days. Lol
My distant relative Kris Aquino was in the first movie. She was a guest in the wedding scene 🇵🇭🙂👍
Great commentary😀🙂 I loved the first movie and can't wait for the second one😚☺️... hope its just as good tho💯
David's 6th point doesn't really speak for a lot of people because he has a very high bar for what he considers worth watching. Some people are similar but more people are drawn in by a lower number of data points. Also for people asking why rich POC stories are made more than working class stories, entertainment has always preferred rich/highly successful stories over working class stories. It's not limited to POC stories, stories about working class or lower class white people don't get made as much. They definitely get made more but not by a lot.
If a franchise is popular enough, time won't matter as long as there's sufficient anticipation. It actually might work to their benefit to extend the hype, but it also comes with higher expectations.
The studio should adequately compensate the cast based on the existing value of the brand and projected revenue of the sequel if they want to stay true to the original. But it can often make contract negotiations more difficult because the stars have more leverage to demand higher salaries. Apparently Constance Wu was known for being a diva behind the scenes post-CRA, since that role granted her a bunch of lucrative career opportunities.
Historically speaking, most sequels end up disappointing compared to their originals. The vast majority of films are one-hit wonders. Franchises like Harry Potter and LOTR are anomalies. You have to spend years establishing brand loyalty to get fans that heavily invested in an IP. Not sure CRA has that level of cult following.
I hope the sequel does well as the original. Tired of decades of witnessing stereotyped movies portraying Asian people by Hollywood.
Lol the first movie was an inaccurate stereotype - real rich Asians in Asia owns at least a city instead of just a multi million dollar condo
The 2nd book had more focus on india and beaches in the philippines… focus on that
Anyone with respect does not care for shows/movies/games that are anti-Asian men/culture.
We need a Crazy Rich Jews movie.😏
The marvelous Mrs Maisel
isn't that any Hollywood movie?
Maybe have hour long episodes but each episode is from other countries
Bobby Saputra will be in it.
0:24 It is sad that Brenda Song was considered not Asian enough. I think they meant to say that she is not Chinese enough or at all. Brenda played Wendy Wu perfectly fine. Why can she be on Crazy Rich Asian? Brenda would've had all her Disney fans just to come watch her.
too whitewashed
@pjscafe There are a few characters on here that are way more whitewashed, maybe blackwashed, etc and especially not even full blooded Asian. What's wrong with that picture? Imagine if we had only white actors, then all the Asian actors would go nuts. But because someone who is not nationality Chinese, nor speak Mandarin, then they're outcast. Can that be considered racist? This is one reason why in mainland Zhongguo, people tend to pretend to be Han ethnic so to avoid discrimination and be accepted. Hmm. Something to think about. Although many minorities there were what built Zhongguo today. Unity. By the way Brenda may have more Chinese in her than most on the cast.
Sad we exclude our own people... we divide ourselves

i agree about being sick of the old money rich asian. need more depth. nothing new anymore when you’ve seen it once. if they can tell stories that are different, it would get a lot more interest. yes exactly like for jensen huang. or getting rich from new money. or tell a story of a middle class asian getting miserable striving to get crazy rich and learning lessons along the ways. and yeah the first movie was helped by it being a cultural representation event which is one off. But actually, i’m kinda sick of the theme of asians and money. can we show other sides of asians apart from this obsession with money which is highly stereotyped and doesn’t exist in that way in real life? most of us are simply concerned about financial security and peace of mind, not about getting crazy rich.
Just to correct u, Mr young is not rich Chinese Asian , they are baba n nyonya family in south east Asia.
Will
It will be a huge hit again globally
I felt so crazy poor asian after watching this movies.
The Asians in that movie are just middle class Asians, real rich Asians in Asia owns at least an entire city
We need new creative Asian American centered stories.
Asia has their own tastes when it comes to entertainment and it works.
It’s way past time for our Asian American stories to progress.
I didn't even watch the first one. This is not an asian movie/show I want to see.
Might? It WILL lol
FYI Yeoh is not pronounced 'Yeow'. It's 'iôⁿ'. Yep, that little 'n' superscript is legit.
Awkwafina saved Crazy Rich Asians from being mostly not funny.
It’s gonna bomb… but there might be a genius behind this. Just kinda doubt it…
the first movie was just ok.
One of the biggest problem with Crazy Rich Asians is that the Youngs - Shanghainese, were actually not the old rich, but rather the nouveau riche. In reality they would be looked down at by the surviving old Rich Peranakan communities. The true label of old rich lies in the high Peranakan tradition they followed and the stereotypically british education they adhere to. Though most are not that rich anymore, any of the more respected and socially esteemed elites would always have claims to have Peranakan lineage dating back at least for 6 generations or more. Else, you'll just be labelled as nouveau riche.
Yeoh is not pronounced "yaw" but more like "yo"
Read the story and it was fucking fail like star wars acolyte the twin protagonist failed.
Star Wars acolyte did not fail
If in shanghai, they can hire me as the lead, half chinese, height&looks good, and most important of all «speak broken english» with european accent which is fancy 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂
We don't need more white or hapa worship in Asian media, get over yourselves. Your kind belongs in the west
The first one wasn’t that good to begin with.
Crazy Rich Asians 2 - The Search for More Redpocket Money
We need a sequel of crazy rich Asian in China goes to America to visit crazy rich Asian American family to then be disappointed and decide to show them what money can do in china
America does have tons of Chinese trying to smuggle into US. Heard they r rich Chinese Asian
Tons of Chinese r trying to smuggle into America. What about a movie all about Chinese smugglers
@@lizquay4159I don't they'd make that illegal immigration is getting very political
We don’t need this crap !!
No one cared for Constance Wu or the male mc. Don't even know his name. 😅 We certainly didn't watch for Jimmy or Akwafina. We all watched the movie because it was novel and there was Asian representation. The cast was already too old for the teenage/ early 20s audience. We don't need them to return in their 40s. Viewers want to see young actors that they can swoon over. The movie cast lacked good looking main characters. That's why it didn't blow up
First 😂😂😂😂
First
I saw Crazy Rich Asians after it came out, but I found it completely unrelatable.
The film did poorly in China and I think other East Asian countries, because it seems that people in Asia watch American movies to see stories with white European-American actors or other ethnicities, not Asian-American actors, most of whom probably do not meet the extreme, cosmetic surgery-produced appearance standards in the East Asian modeling and entertainment industries.
What about Turning Red?
Hapa and WMAF worhship garbage, no need for this
I'm a white guy and I watched Crazy Rich Asians like 20 times because Constance Wu is cute.
I will watch part 2.
Fell asleep during the first. Just a terrible movie.
Ayo! Wakey wakey!
