Stick to the end for an exclusive giveaway.
Sorry, what was this for again?
Oh, it's my film class.
Uh, we have to make documentaries and I'm doing mine on old YouTube channels.
Excuse me, did you say "old"?
Yeah.
Didn't you say your first video was made in 2003?
That's like 20 years ago.
Which is only... two decades.
And you're constantly making 10-year anniversary remakes and references and—
Alright, alright, I got your point.
That's what old people...
Yeah, well you know what?
We're still here.
And employing you.
Although, maybe we should be reconsidering that.
Did I say old?
Uh, I meant...
Legacy.
Legacy Channel.
Okay, you know how hard it is to keep a business and brand alive for 20 years?
No.
And that's what this doc is for.
I want to show people what Wong Fu's been up to these days.
Rolling.
So the pandemic really affected not only our YouTube channel
but the entire platform.
And really the entire consumption culture of short form content.
But this wasn't new to us.
I mean, when you've been around for 20 years, you see a lot of shifts in the industry.
We were part of you to rewind when it was still cool.
Oh yeah.
(try to find phil & wes)
(here they are :P )
Wong Fu's have to adapt so many times
and this new Tiktok, metaverse, BeReal era is no different.
We've been branching out and Wong Fu has actually never been busier.
Sorry, doing what exactly?
Welcome To Wong Fu's NFT Department!
Taylor over here is drawing Wong Fu's very first NFT.
Oh my God!
What do you think?
It's terrible.
( sad tay D: )
But I think that's the point.
We're going to take a picture of that and sell that picture.
That's how it works, right?
One down, 999,999 more to go, Tay!
You got it!
He spent a week on that.
We're gonna need more crayons!
So a big part of Wong Fu's mission has always been Asian American representation in media.
Well with recent strides and so many big movies and shows starring Asians the last few years,
mission accomplished, right?
Uh, I think there's still a lot of work to be done—
Okay, we gave y'all a Marvel superhero, alright?
Now it's time to focus on another marginalized group.
Asian American DOG representation.
Think of every mainstream dog movie.
The lead is always a GoldenRetriever, a Labrador, a Beagle, or a Collie.
But where are the Shibas, where are the Chow Chows, where the Shih Tzus?
That's why Wong Fu has started training Asian dogs for Hollywood.
How's it going, Jess?
It's going great!
You know, I taught her how to fetch a ball, shake hands, and...
debunk the model minority myth.
Impressive!
Yeah.
Who's a great representation for their community?
You are! You are, aren't you?
Uh, what about Tiktok and emerging social media platforms?
Tiktok?
Tiktok's old news, bro.
Forget Gen Z.
Wong Fu's already adopting what the next generation is doing.
*baby cooing*
How's my little guy?
Is he giving you guys some good tips on what the next generation thinks is cool?
I mean, he's just a baby so he's not really talking.
That is SO cool.
Alright everyone, no more talking.
Wait, what about—
*shushes*
So uncool.
And lastly, Wong Fu's commercial department has really taken off.
every other week Chris and Benson are off at some exotic locale
on some big shoot for a major brand.
Welcome to set.
It's a park.
So you know that random footage you see in the background of karaoke videos?
Well...
Somebody's got to shoot it.
*ducks quacking*
Chris, Chris!
The ducks, the ducks!
Oh!
Speed!
So yeah, Wong Fu's doing just fine.
Bet you didn't think a "legacy" channel would be so busy.
I have to admit, I'm very surprised.
Well, keep the camera on deck because a lot happens in this office.
Hey, thanks for helping me film today.
Yeah for sure, man—hope you get an A.
Oh shoot, I need the room for some Wong Fu business.
Okay, for sure.
- Alright. - Good shoot, man.
Yep, thanks.
