HE’S SUPER LOADED.
>> AND ACTRESS, INTERNET
PERSONALITY, AND RAPPER
AWKWAFINA PLAYS MY DAUGHTER, THE

FIRST QUESTION ON EVERYONE’S
MINDS, WHAT’S IT LIKE TO WORK
WITH KEN JEONG?
I’M A HUGE FAN OF HIM.
>> WE DON’T TALK ABOUT HIM
ANYMORE.
ANYMORE. >> WAS HE A DAY PLAYER?
>> HE WAS A DAY PLAYER.
>> NO, NO, HE WAS CREDITED.
>> ONE OF THOSE DAY PLAYERS, HE
JUST SAID WEIRD THINGS.
>> LIKE KNOCK ON YOUR TRAILER.
>> WE’RE GOING TO CUT ALL THIS
OUT, GUYS.
OUT, GUYS. GO TO THE NEXT QUESTION THAT
WILL BE DISGUISED AS THE FIRST.
IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, THE CREATORS
OF THIS FILM TURNED DOWN AN
ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FROM
NETFLIX TO MAKE SURE THE FIRST
ASIAN-AMERICAN MOVIE IN 25 YEARS
WAS SEEN ON THE BIG SCREEN.
WHAT DID IT MEAN -- I MEAN, WE
KNOW EACH OTHER SO WELL, BUT.
>> DID WHAT DID IT MEAN TO ALL
OF YOU, REALLY?
>> THIS IS WEIRD BECAUSE WE JUST
CAME OFF A PRESS TOUR.
WE WERE BEING ASKED THESE
QUESTIONS.
QUESTIONS. I MEAN, HENRY, IT MEANS A LOT.
>> YEAH, IT MEANS A LOT.
DISCUSSING THAT DECISION TO GO
FROM NETFLIX TO LIKE KEEPING IT
IN THE CINEMA WASN’T THE FACT
THAT HE LOVES NETFLIX AND
NETFLIX IS THE FUTURE OF
ENTERTAINMENT, BUT IT WAS REALLY
TO MAKE THE STATEMENT THAT OUR
STORY WAS WORTH TELLING IN THIS
BIG PANTHEON OF CINEMATIC
HISTORY.
HISTORY. SO TO BE A PART OF THAT AND TO
BE KIND OF ONE OF THE FIRST
MOVIES TO REALLY PROMOTE A
CONTEMPORARY STORY, IT’S
BRILLIANT.
BRILLIANT. >> NOW THAT IT’S HAPPENING, LIKE
RIGHT NOW, ALL THREE OF US ARE
IN THIS EYE OF THE STORM, WHAT
DOES IT FEEL LIKE RIGHT NOW
TALKING TO YOU?
>> I FEEL A TANGIBLE MOMENT, YOU
KNOW.
KNOW. THERE’S SOMETHING THAT -- I
THINK PEOPLE WANT TO CREATE
MOMENTS, YOU KNOW.
BUT THIS WAS AN ACTUAL MOMENT
THAT I’M FEELING.
>> I JUST WANT YOU TO DO -- THIS
IS CRAZY.
IS CRAZY. THEY’RE JUST TRYING TO GET YOU
DOUBLE MIKED.
DOUBLE MIKED. YOU FEELING GOOD?
>> I FEEL GRADE.
I LOVE BEING DOUBLE MIKED.
>> I WAS LIKE, OH, HEY, COOL.
>> IT WAS THE OTHER ASIAN GUY,
NOT THIS ONE.
>> WERE YOU GUYS AWARE OF EACH
OTHER?
OTHER? DID YOU FOLLOW EACH OTHER’S
CAREER?
CAREER? DID YOU KNOW?
HAD YOU WORKED TOGETHER?
WAS IT LIKE, HEY, NOW WE’RE ALL
TOGETHER?
TOGETHER? WHAT’S THE STORY?
>> I THOUGHT HE WAS THE
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR BECAUSE --
>> WHAT?
>> WHAT? >> WHEN I LANDED IN SINGAPORE, I
LIKE -- I WAS IN A HOTEL ROOM,
VERY JET LAGGED.
I HEARD A KNOCK ON MY DOOR.
I OPEN THE DOOR AND IT’S LIKE I
SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL MAN.
HE’S LIKE, HEY, YOU KNOW, I’M
HENRY, JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE
MYSELF.
MYSELF. HE CAME IN, AND I WAS LIKE, OH,
SO WHAT’S THE CALL TIME
TOMORROW?
TOMORROW? HE’S LIKE, YOU KNOW, I DON’T
KNOW, BUT I CAN CHECK IT OUT.
I WAS LIKE, OH, SO YOU’RE LIKE
THE A.D.?
THE A.D.? HE’S LIKE, NO, NO, I’M NICK.
I’M NICK.
I’M NICK. >> HE’S THAT HUMBLE AND
GROUNDED.
GROUNDED. >> I’VE NEVER EXPERIENCED
SOMEONE TO COME TO YOUR HOTEL
AND SAY HI.
>> JUST TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF.
THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN.
>> THAT’S HOW YOU ROLL?
>> I MEAN, I WAS A BIG FAN OF
NORA’S BEFORE I MET HER, ALL HER
YOUTUBE VIDEOS, EVERYTHING SHE’S
DONE WITHIN THE ASIAN COMMUNITY,
THE RAP SCENE.
KEN JEONG IS A LIVING LEGEND.
>> SEE.
>> SEE. >> KEN JEONG IS A LIVING LEGEND.
NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY.
I SAID IT, OKAY?
>> I’LL VENMO IT TO YOU.
>> ALTHOUGH YOU’RE MAKING
HISTORY, THIS MOVIE IS A LOT OF
FUN.

THAN YOU DID BEFORE YOU WALKED
