get into you know we really talked to her about what it was like to work on this and it was just such a special conversation it's really i mean this is i think one of my favorite moments we've had on the podcast not only because you know she's such an incredible icon of screen and just like cinema history but also she was a very real person and i think that she had a lot to say that like really resonated about how she prepares and how she never stops learning when she's on set and she's just really a very grounded person and you wish that someone like her gets her due like this you know what i really do you really do and it's that you know classic thing where at this point you know this is something that matt says all the time which is can anyone else do this role can anyone else you know do what this actor does in any given project and we definitely feel like that's not the case with michelle and everything

everywhere all once like the role was written for her there aren't that many asian female actresses who can pull off action in a sci-fi comedy who can pull off physical comedy as well as martial arts like that is like she's i've listened to her talk about the nuance and the difference between physical comedy which she's never done before and martial arts what she has and like how much fun it was for her anyway we're really just like soaring from this interview it was so fun it's a little bit tighter than usual because of the the time constraints we had but so much fun i mean it's just unreal because i i've seen the movie now twice as as you'll hear and i'm so overwhelmed because it's that thing bo you know way back when we first met the people that we we all met and like you had a feeling about certain people and then coming to find out it happened to be true so stephanie shu is like our old friend from college like i think

we probably all met when we were like 19. 19. i was probably i was 18. yeah so bowen is famously a little bit younger than us which he just mentioned which was which was which was not rude um at all to mention his young age but stephanie is literally one of those people that you meet and you're like yeah she's truly limitless in terms of what she's able to do perfect word i'm also really happy that she got to show off her beautiful voice in this movie um so it's everything i mean and it really bowled me over bo because i'm more and more i'm realizing that like those people that we had a good feeling about from way back actually that was true you know and how how lucky to be in the orbit of some of these people i mean this is such a incredible performance and all the performances are amazing but i have to like sit here and tally as well you know what i mean like you got to see it to believe it i texted you right after i

saw it the first time i was like steph is going to blow your [ __ ] mind and you know what's funny it's like first of all this is like the most stiff movie of all time like from everything from like from like the chaos of it to like the bagel i was like steph found the steph shoe movie to do and maybe you know steph from marvelous mrs maisel or you seen her on broadway she was in spongebob and yeah be more chill yeah so people are aware of her but now they're gonna become super aware of her just watching my friend it's crazy because she was there like she does all these different things but she was there the whole time and i was like in this in this amazing way you know what i mean and i was just like oh my god that's steph i know you know she always says like oh i gave up on comedy because the hours were crazy and she had other things going on but like she was doing political subversities it was the show

in new york city like at the same theater that pop roulette did shows at like steph is just one of those people that you would like kind of run into all the time be like oh what are you working on and to see her do this is really incredible and um i just we're so so so thrilled we must have her on the podcast and i'll and i'll sort of mention some stuff to her then but i'm just thinking back to like conversations we had in college and truly like such a like a great friend and yeah i just like i'm like sitting around like emotional i'm i'm so emotional about the movie because of the messages in it but also it's just really special to see someone that you care about who's so talented i know and so full of love and always was supportive of us like she would we we shared a couple days on set together at nora this was right before she was about to start yeah daniels directed that episode of nora

the daniels directed the flashback episode of norm from queens where you know at all like it's grandma telling nora like her story and it all kind of gets shot in the style of like a a c drama or a k drama and um you know and then that's where daniel's like met like harry from junior who's i've never been more excited to support a project that like i had nothing to do with which sounds so disgustingly vain but it is weird when someone's like so hyped for something that like in our business at least like it's someone's hype for something that like they had no part of yeah but we need more of that i know i i totally agree i i because i always feel like that's how we get interesting yes i don't i don't even know what i'm saying it's just like i mean that's really what i want this podcast to be anyway as i would i would love you know that's so interesting talking about it like 300 episodes in

like what we want it to be but i guess that's a good sign no yeah that like you know now that we're able to have access to someone like michelle yo like it's so mind-blowing but i do think that like especially nowadays when people aren't necessarily going out to the theater like i'm happy like that that like there's things out there that are there's really challenging things out there available to us that we can go see like i'm going to new york um next week and i'm going to see five broadway shows and i haven't done that in years but i think there's like there's like a renewed interest in me and like seeing things and absorbing things and i think that that's that's like a really important thing now that the world is opening back up as i knock [ __ ] wood but um like you got to get out there and see stuff and then share what you loved about it with people i mean i know that's like a simple maybe like you know

sort of stupid thing to say but like tell people what you like i mean like and i guess that's what is so popular that's like this podcast and that's what i want it to be and that's why i feel like while this feels like a crazy episode for us because i never in a million years bo when we started this on [ __ ] mercer street in new york thought that we would get to the point where we could have michelle yo on our podcast but now that we can it's like i'm so excited because i genuinely feel like i can't express enough how this movie enriched me um likewise and like there aren't that many movies that i can like rattle off that have like had such an effect on me like you have i didn't even get to say this to her i watched that movie all i can think about is my mom and that's well that's right that's what i that's what i think about i think about my mom all the time when i see michelle young movies i remember going

crouching tiger with my mom and being like wait she kind of talks like my mom does and like she has the same sort of like warmth and energy and strength and whatever anyway i'm just talking about my mom now but with everything everywhere all at once is literally the story of this woman who's like what if i had done things differently my mom in her loving way she's not saying this in like a a way to like give me an existential crisis or like throttle me into that kind of crisis but she always is like you know i think about all the time if i had stayed in china like i would have been this very successful doctor i would have not had you because you're the second child because you know back then it was one child only like in sheep it's a very common thing in the immigrant experience at least not to make specifically about that to be like what if very much about that though no it and but it's a

universal thing like everybody walks this earth going what if i had done things differently what if things were different enough that were out of my control you know like everyone is in that space all the time and it's the perfect concept to bring into a multiverse movie it's just so i loved this movie so much it's so smart on so many different levels and it's also fun and it's moving and it's because and it's because the thing about this film is and we should just say it's also wild i mean it's like it's a truly crazy movie and you'll be asking yourself what the hell is going on you've never seen anything like this and then it becomes clear but the thing is while it is so expansive and so ambitious and so audacious it's also very simple in terms of the story yeah it's actually just about a family trying to come back together and it's about realizing what you have and it's about understanding possibility but embracing

reality yeah and and it's just it's just so good it's about accepting whatever reality you're in yeah and noticing noticing i [ __ ] love this movie this was it was so good and also especially and blah blah blah but in a time when everything is a sequel or you know a franchise movie like you gotta go out and support this movie uh like we say in the episode like put on a mask if that makes you feel better if you haven't been out to the theaters like this is the movie to go see you won't regret it you really won't regret it it's not the kind of movie that you'll be like yeah whatever yeah no no no no no at the very least you'll have a strong reaction yes yes yes yes yeah and isn't it fun to go to a movie and potentially hate it i i don't think you will you won't but it but also like i don't know like it made me feel all the feeling i mean i just i did not just say it girl 2011 yeah yeah all the

but that's like it's just i don't know it really transported me back to like i don't know maybe even feeling like that child like thing of like going to the movies and something just is completely new it's movie magic and she she's moving not just not to spoil the interview and you know if you haven't skipped all the way to when michelle yo starts talking god bless you thank you for listening to us talk but she gets into that like yeah movie magic like it's this thing that's kind of hard to come by especially i felt this way before i saw the movie like i feel like i've been a little desensitized just a little bit desensitized to like the viewing experience or the intake or consumption of something that i'm watching because i'm like in bed watching it like from a tv or an ipad or like it's sedentary it's passive like there's something so literally activating about this movie that you watch and you cannot help it go

oh my god yeah yeah yeah that sensory overload that happens in that atmosphere yes yes that is not replicable at home it really isn't unless you have like you know a crazy dolby setup or something unless you have a crazy dolby setup honey you're not gonna get that experience it's really culture number four um honey anyway do we have any anything else to say nothing i'll say i'm like so tapped from this conversation like yeah i'm just excited i'm so excited she was so generous with us just was so honest she was giving ponytail through a white baseball cap pun girl can we talk about i guess people know this already but a hard reminder needs to be set that like this is a [ __ ] style legend yeah okay glamour icon glamour icon she just came out with her interview magazine photos where she looks [ __ ] amazing yeah um the ringing crazy rich asians is her ring oh wow did you hear that have you heard the story i think i

actually do like like like the props like like like because the ring is like a plot point it's like yeah like the young ring and it's like wow the eleanor young ring and it's like they like did like a pretty generic looking but still like you know like something that communicates wealth or whatever that this family has but she came on to set or she saw the ring for the first time she was like no i have one better i have a collection she has this woman is like very unassuming in a lot of ways but also i i'm just reminded of the fact that she is married to the former ceo of ferrari oh jesus like this woman knows [ __ ] lavishness and luxury and yet she still is like such an artist in her way and like it doesn't like would never let that show like doesn't let that inform anything about her in her work i know that's a weird thing to bring up but i just i i'm obsessed with that like she's a [ __ ] glamour she's like it's it

feels old hollywood it feels like so [ __ ] ugh i love it it's so luxe but anyway it's her ring that giant [ __ ] emerald i don't know what kind of diamond that is but it's so beautiful yeah this was i mean we're we're doing the fluffing of the century here this foreplay that we're doing with the readers i say let's just play the episode you're gonna hear us ding-dong again the intro is very short worth how i swear to god we're getting to michelle yo very very very soon this feels like when you're about to get on the roller coaster but like there's like a technical problem it's like you waited for an hour and then you get there and they're like we're experiencing technical difficulties and you're like [ __ ] off um right but with no with no further ado that's welcome michelle [ __ ] yo come on

what was the last movie you saw multiple times in theaters besides everything everywhere all at once i would have to go back but i can't remember like some a movie that i was immediately excited to see again you know like that hasn't happened especially in the theater especially like pursuing the imax experience but i was like i have to see this on a giant screen with a bunch of people i will say this the last time i saw a movie repeatedly again and again and again was a star is born with lady gaga and bradley cooper which i famously did see four times opening weekend now that does not mean that i wasn't equally moved by this new film everything everywhere all at once which i've seen twice this week in the theaters and i i know bowen has as well and i have to implore all of the readers of this podcast everyone out there to get to the theaters to see this bowen i know you were as just as excited as i was i was

it's the superlatives are are there aren't enough do you know what i'm saying i think i told you immediately our friend stephanie shu is in it we went to college with her i can't we can't wait to get into this can't wait with our talk about it with our guests so um there's really no need to introduce her i mean she's truly a legend in cinema in in so many ways um just we're so inspired and privileged to have her so please welcome michelle yo hello oh my god what an introduction to everything everywhere all at once i love you boys already love that especially because you are friends with my baby girl stephanie's shoes we went to college with her i did sketch comedy with stephanie shu i first met her as you know the hilarious funny girl who could do anything and then as i got to know her i realized how she's so good with drama musical she's a completely insane person she's everything everywhere all at once

absolutely she is i mean she is amazing in this she's amazing post stuff so you are very lucky to have met her at the early age and i can't wait to see all the amazing things that she will continue to do and have the opportunity to do what was it like to what was it like to set up that relationship and to sort of ground that into something that was very very convincing because by the end i mean matt and i talked about this i i never cry at movies and i i i did i did cry multiple times both times i've seen it especially in that last thing we won't spoil but there's the last moment with you and stephanie's character joy um between evelyn and joy like how did you what was the process like of just getting into that relationship okay but first of all i really want i want to say thank you for you two having given the shout out about going to the cinemas yes it's a shared experience and uh hello

match if you don't watch it more than four times i'm comfortable okay okay i know hey excuse me lady gaga step aside okay yes he is going to say to brad i'm out of my way this one is unique it's different right it is like the primal way of our ancestors when you sit under the stars and hear great storytelling you have to see it in the cinema because that's when you devote yourself to that magic of filmmaking yeah yeah and it's like you don't want to go on a roller coaster ride by yourself no never this is like the most incredible roller coaster ride that you're going to have in the cinema and you're doing it you have to do it with people you have to do it with your friends your family and strangers and the most important thing is like having conversations afterwards oh yeah on all the different issues whether it's the mother and daughter the father and daughter the husband and wife just a relationship

look at the two antagonists yeah the you know the audit the the the text auditor who is like that you think the scariest person but who is a real human being yes right and you need and you don't want to be left out of the conversation do you when everybody is like have you seen this movie do you know what we're talking about and god forbid you're like no it is that though it is a cultural moment and i really do believe that this movie is going to be something that as more people see it as more people talk about it is going to become a cultural conversation because it's unlike anything it's unlike anything it is the daniels are just i call them my evil geniuses because the audacity the courage to put it all on paper you know it's like five genres of filming in one movie true right and right they took a very ordinary totally unsuccessful immigrant asian aging woman immigrant who is trying to pursue the american

dream with the love of her life came here to the complete disagreement and disapproval of her parents especially of her horrible father i'm sorry jeff say that it's almost like a vicious circle it's like that's how you uh you you understand that your parents want the best for you they tell you what to do and you should do that and god forbid you disobey them and it's like when she sees her daughter that is the one of the core of the movies is this mother-daughter relationship and you're right stephanie and i found the bond we didn't we didn't have you know we are an independent film i only arrived in january we had eight weeks to shoot this eight weeks 37 days because wow you know there is a union we can work like constantly like 24 7 right so we but every character from stephanie myself key quan jamie curtis james hong and daniels every character was completely invested and knew who they were

i saw i've seen this woman on this we've passed by this evelyn yes yes this is the supermarket or when we are if we're in chinatown we see the mothers the aunties the grandmothers where they are weighed down by the responsibility of keeping the family together keeping a business alive you know doing what is right and helping the family survive and she you know she doesn't walk straight she literally waddles her way through right she's wading through all these like problems and things what is the american dream it is tough it is so so tough but the daniels have given her such a strong voice to highlight and to tell her story and give her an opportunity to be a superhero because at the end of the day we believe in love we believe in our family and we will never give up on that and that journey needed to be told in this way this is something i've observed and i don't know if this is what maybe jumped

out at you when you first read the script but i feel like in your career you've portrayed power in such a in such a wonderful way through so many ranges of through such a wide range of things whether it's you know eleanor young or you know star trek with uh you know phil george yeah yeah but it's like i mean you know i or or even in tomorrow never dies like i feel like michelle yo in her roles up to this point has been about portraying a woman in power which is wonderful but this is someone you you look at evelyn and this is someone who is vulnerable at every level socially economically emotionally physically did you recognize that to be something unique and different immediately because you're right like this is a woman we've passed on the street who's basically invisible to a lot of people like how how did you dive into that vulnerability that's a great question thank you for that you know it's it's very i think at

the beginning of my career to show because we were all the ming boss the asian woman is like the fragile you know needs to be carefully catered to and all those kind of like whatever the very stereotypical indication of what it is to be an asian woman and for me it was very important we're like no no no no we're not that we are a mother we are strong we're independent we are in control of our lives and it was it's a choice to portray and give a voice to that because we cannot be seen as the victims only no but with evil evelyn wong she's not a victim no she is trying to be the strong the successful and all that but life has beaten her down in every turn of the way and that's the reality that's around us it's not that everybody gets to be successful even though they give it their hundred and two hundred percent right unfortunately that's the reality of life but to be able to say yes she is a

failure at so many things that she she does but every failure becomes it's an impact on our lives and we have to learn to be to learn from that and be stronger with that and i think for evelyn wong if she was not open to be always trying to be better or do something she would not be able to go into these multiverses and tap into that and have an open mind and i think that was what that really attracted yes because we are all flawed characters we are all flawed human beings and in the beginning of my career playing these strong you know more more dynamic characters were important because it empowers you to believe that you can do this and now it comes to a stage where it's like i want to give the people who are not seen right the chance to have a voice and say they can have a different life too and the daniels have given us a perfect opportunity to say well guess what in a science fiction world we can you know

because you're going to be able to go into all these kind of worlds and see what could have happened but what do you choose that's very important that is i think and i'm actually emotional even thinking about this um but what moved me so much about the film was the message of choosing each other and you know even in seeing the vast possibility in choosing the love in your life and then noticing the things in your life that have actually given you the strength that you didn't know because even though evelyn acquires skills she uh and she's able to tap into these different universes it is her the whole time and she is the soul that we're with and what and she is the person at the end of the film who makes the decision that she makes and i cannot remember being more moved than um towards the end of the film when there is a specific montage with key's character you are and i just want to say michelle

like there is so much power in the way that you receive that you are outstanding in this movie i mean it is an outstanding i will say it oscar-worthy performance i know it's whatever but this is the kind of thing where i just don't think there is another person in the world that could do this and when i tell you how moved i was it had so much to do with keith's performance but also the way you received that and you can see the character realizing so much about her life her reality and what she wants in that moment so just that message i think is so important you know in showing the beauty and the love in a life that's big but also a life that feels quote unquote small and so i just was that something that jumped out to you in the script and made maybe made you say like absolutely this is it oh my god now you're making me emotional i'm i just i'm stumbled by the movie no i think what it is it's like because

when you read it it resonates yeah you know like you say with a husband and wife relationship any relationship is continuous work yes and sometimes we get sideswept bogged down by the things problems and all those kind of things and we start looking at the the other person like why couldn't you be better at this but then we forget why did you fall in love with this person yeah to change him right you love him because he's a little dorky he knows how to find like joy and beauty in the most horrible places and he's trying to instill happiness and that was why you loved him in the first place and you were ready to you abandoned your family your your parents to go in search of a new life because you love this man and i think sometimes we get lost along the way and i think what happened was like it didn't hit her until when she saw the divorce papers they were like what the f are you talking about yeah losing it

became real and then it was yeah right but that was his point it was like i don't really want a divorce but i think this will force you to stop because it happened to somebody else it stopped them to think just like do you really value this relationship and if you have lost complete respect and for the man or the woman and the relationship then yes maybe it's time to step away because you don't want to hate each other because it's a very fine line but if there is real love then you have to fight for it you have to fight for each other and you have to continue to do that i think where the daniels were very very clever when they wrote this is the emotional thread between each character with this yes even like this simple you know when jobu [ __ ] and stephanie comes out with all these like amazing costumes she looks incredible she's an amazing customer but i look into her eyes yeah and i see the

longing of i'm looking for my mother yes i'm not you know i even though my mouth says nothing matters your eyes don't say that and that's what i see from from that what bonds us together because that's what evelyn is seeing right it's like you know how sometimes children they say the worst things they're like i wish you're dead or you're blah blah blah because i wish i never had you like don't be so ridiculous okay but you say things you think to hurt each other because you want them to feel the hurt you are feeling yeah and then you just take like silly things at each other but that's where you know when you are working with someone like he and stephanie who we look at each other and we see love and we know this is where we have to go because if you don't believe that you love me nobody else is going to you know your eyes are as an actor the eyes are the windows to someone's soul yes and i believed in evelyn wong as

stephanie believed in joy and to [ __ ] so you know when we walk into in that even though she's like bringing those adult toys around yes what the hell and that's where the geniuses of the daniels are they put you in the most unapologetic raunchiness silliness or whatever because you are thrown off balance your head is getting like messed up like evelyn walk right and then they pull the rug from under you and they watch you fall going evil genius evil genius but this is something this is like the opposite end of what you've always said that you know martial arts scenes are which is there's always drama and emotional sticks to any fight scene you've done and even with even between these characters even though there are all these insane visuals going on there's still that dramatic core that thread between these two characters that like makes you and you you can't take your eyes off it because you understand

what's going on on some different emotional different levels for these two women they're fighting you know if it's like uh with jobu to [ __ ] she she thinks she's trying to kill this woman that's her mother right but she isn't she's testing her to the limits it's how much do you actually want me yes right it's like our children test us all the time from the minute they know how to crawl they test you right that's what we do and that we do that with our friends we do that with our the people that we love right you don't do that to people that you don't know because it's just a waste of time right but you you test your limits you test each other's limits constantly but does that mean that you don't you love that person that's why you are testing the boundaries that's why you know how much more than i that can i achieve from this and even with the the fight sequences with like the lay brothers you know with the mud

clowns and all this kind of thing yeah yeah it's all about survival it's all about that and what i loved right at the end you know when i was doing it was like i opened my arms and i felt like yes love for love at first i was like what the hell are you two boys trying to do he's like how do you fight for love that's a very interesting thing how do you say i i'm going to now not fight you with the physical like you know you're coming with me with knives and bombs you know the whole staircase yes the secrets at the end the other alphas is like they are they are ready to kill me and ready to kill evelyn wong and she has the google eyes and she suddenly realized all the googly eyes it's all about love and joy and this but how do you present to them it's like i'm not gonna fight you with my fist i'm gonna embrace you and fight you with love so we were standing there going like how do you do that how do you present that like

say about so you guys can listen to new episodes of too much to say every wednesday on the nashville podcast network available on the iheartradio app apple podcast or wherever you listen to your pockets this is something you know we are in the industry so we know this but these films are shot out of sequence and so so that must be a real mind f for you to sort of like you know have the script and you're reading the script and then you get a shoot schedule and that is something that is also really impressive about your performance is it all feels extremely specific emotionally and continuous which has to be incredibly difficult because you could be shooting one scene that leads into another at the end of the shoot from the beginning of the shoot so how did what was your process for keeping that line that i i am going to post on my instagram very soon my script oh how i normally work a script it's like i tag

you know when you get your script and i tag them which are the scenes i'm appearing in if it was an action sequence they get a red tag if it was a very heavy dramatic one it gets like a blue so you know you work it out and then because you have to see us the character you see the entirety of this the script right and that will tell you the emotional arc of where you're going or whatever it is i think one movie that i had was as challenging but not quite as this was the lady where it spanned like 20 years of her life right sure and like you said we don't do it in order in order you never do i mean for for so many reasons yeah so you have to know that if you go into the 80s or then the 2000s what is the mindset where are you going from your hair your wardrobe or whatever that helps you recreate this this moment but with everything everywhere all at once it is everything everywhere all at once you're

hibachi then you're like well what okay i'm like back to this universe and then i'm jumping into the jail what about you know you but when you see how i attacked i am literally every scene of them yes oh yeah emotional arc goes so go sideways up and down and everything everywhere all at once it really is insane and the the the amazing thing is like even though she goes into the other multiverse evelyn is still evelyn wong right she she sees what this multiverse is about she doesn't live that multiverse it's not like he his character wayman when he is can travel right but in that universe he is who he is like the ceo he doesn't know about the other universes so he is very contained with who raymond is in that universe but with her it's like she sees this as like why am i here and can you imagine when she went into the hot dog universe all right nightmare is jamie lee curtis who's dearly developed whatever her name is like yeah

dear dribble beer beer it's suddenly her lover and coming at her with these like hot dogs you know and that was the amazing thing about the whole thing is like first you have to know your script i am like stephanie she is brilliant with ad living and you know she is quick to change and do extremely funny she's right off the skin she always has been can i say don't do that to me okay i'm not i'm not going to make a lie you have to there are certain guidelines that we're going to do this absolutely i'm sure she listened she got the point yeah so then it's like when you get into all these things one thing i always say to my dinos you are my you are my anchors right because we are going to be jumping from here to there all these kind of times i'm going to look to you and say okay we passed out we rock are we i mean and because it's intercutting the whole time yeah the two geniuses know exactly where they're

going with lockheed our dp and i think at the end of the day with paul our editor oh my god they had it wow down to the team like the action sequences we don't have much time to shoot it right we have like a day and a half or two days maximum for the entire sequence of you know the the thing and the dad and the butt plugs and all those kind of things yeah they have to know what they need and yeah they can get a bit more but they first have to shoot what they need i can't believe from like an art direction and set decoration standpoint that this was shot in eight weeks that is crazy that must have been like stepping into a completely different film every day yeah exactly i think what grounded us was the irs building ah we're very fortunate you know when you're you're an indie film you have to be creative you have to know where you can save the money and you know put it right where you need to spend it

and so with this abandoned irs building it grounded us because we shot six weeks there yeah people oh yeah this place you could build little sets and things like that right in there so we had a place to go to which we were familiar with i mean it was a huge place but it right us to sort of have it centralized in some way and i heard this great story from kihuei sharing having his dressing room next to jamie lee's jamie lee never being there and then he finally was like why are you ever in your dressing room and she was like even with her career that spans decades she goes i never learn anything in the dressing room i always learn everything when i'm while i'm on set she's amazing she is fat she's looking at an amazing talent like she's not just an amazing actress she's an amazing human being yeah thoughtful she's generous she's always giving and she's always learning and that's what we all need to do is

that you wake up in the morning and not think i know everything so why don't you just go back to sleep then right yeah the whole process of being alive is about learning and experiencing and being there and jamie is going to it's he wants to direct her own movie she shouldn't oh wow she will you know that she will i mean she has children's books she has her own podcast she has so many things she's ever ever inventing and creating and things like that so the next step for her is to tell her own story or direct her own film right absolutely right she's right what is she going to learn sitting in the uh you know she has she's and she's always out there because she loves people yeah always watching and this sometimes it's not fun it's like the legendary jamie is watching your performance

stephanie's girlfriend oh my god she's so wonderful in this bravo that relationship that she has very very little lines but it's not how much screen time you have it's what you do impact you have that and she has such a beautiful presence she does that expressive eyes and face she doesn't have to say a word but you can you know so that's exactly what it was so well cast in that way she gets she was saying that you were so so kind to her you were so just curious about her life you made her feel so at ease and i just i i read that i read she posted this to her instagram and i just got so emotional i wasn't surprised that you were gracious but i was like i mean yeah like you're the star you're setting the tone and the environment for that kind of project that is so ambitious and um i don't know i just i just i just think that's so special that you and jamie lee and kihoi kwan just being like

these three people who have seen various sides to this business all coming together kind of like handing it down to another generation of people no um not handing it down not handing it down share sharing sharing i'm sorry yeah not yet not yet not yet i'm so sorry but teaching it in a way i know like i i you know i don't think i am good enough we we don't try to teach we try to share and i think what it is is like when you see someone young and talented you have to tell them that they are talented yeah but making them understand don't just take it for granted just don't think i'm entitled there is no entitlement we have been in the business so long and you look at us and say oh god you guys are successful legendary but every day we learn yes we find things to learn we don't just sit back and go well you know bow down to it no and i i want them to already begin the incredible journey understanding is like as long as you are

grounded you will fly to a lot of places but you always feel the earth but can you imagine if you fly and you don't know where to land it's a long way down yeah you don't want that yeah and it's interesting to hear you acknowledge um you know people coming to you with this this verbiage of legend like you know and even the movie is aware of that because when when you need to acquire the skill of martial arts you know there's a funny montage that cuts to essentially b-roll of your life and it doesn't form that but i wonder like what has it been that has kept you grounded and kept that mind mindset i mean you've worked with some incredible legendary people i was looking at the list of directors you've worked with i mean rob marshall you know upcoming james cameron i mean like and i'm gonna be asking about that but i i i can ask away i bet i'm sure i can ask and you will give me nothing is it that is it the people you've

worked with that have kept that instilled in you what has what has anchored you my family and friends my real friends you know it's like um i remember at the beginning very start and someone says you have to remember every time don't let every flash bulb like make you go always appreciate your opportunities that you are given love what you do because the day that you don't love to do it that means maybe it's time to find move on to something else that you find joy in and yes when you meet it's very interesting the more successful they really are the more grounded they are yeah they are not taken back by the bs of you know glitz and whatever it is yes we love that you know when we walk down the red carpet and all this because this is part and parcel of the allure yeah the magic shop the movies or you know tv and that gives our audience our fans that ah isn't that great yes it's part of the whole thing i mean you

don't really want to see your stars coming out in their sweatpants and go like yeah whatever you know he wants a glam factor yeah yes and for a night or two to dress up and have fun and you know look fabulous why not it's it's not it's fun but do i want to do it every night no absolutely not no no but i think what it is is like your real friends your family and some a lot of times you make real friends in this world as well right they ground you because they remind you of who you are you're not some character in a movie or a tv series you are who you are and you should never ever forget that and be present you know appreciate what you have that's that's the thing that really grounds me well thank you i mean just going back to your script being tagged in all these ways i mean how did you develop the sense of for lack of a better word i'm using this word again development like because i feel like it's always so

finely tuned that you always match the tone of the project but then this is just so you know to go from like wild west hong kong beginning of hong kong cinema days where like no scripts you just go in they tell you what to say on the day and then you do it where you know you don't have to think about it like you know on on those sort of macro conceptual terms but now you i'm hearing you talk i can hear you talk forever about the way you prepared for this role like what what was the process like for what was your journey like to sort of get that instinct it's learning along the way it's like from no scripts and learning to shoot from the hip like okay whatever's thrown at me i mean when we started we don't have time for rehearsals we have no rehearsals you get there you get on the set you're all dressed in your uh your costume and they will choreograph the action sequence you learn it you shoot it and

you do something else and like you say sometimes the lines are not given and you're going like one two three four five six seven eight nine ten oh yeah many or many times and then finally when you see the final cut of me oh that is what's going on in that yeah because they edit and they film so fast i mean for the longest of time even jackie chan we didn't have we didn't use we didn't dub our own movies right right somebody else did it for us yes it was only from when i did the song sisters that was the first time i actually it was sings it was recorded right on the set prior to that never because you know the the we didn't have that kind of technology it wasn't done and it was much faster easier after they edit and get someone to do it as you know simultaneously we're filming they're editing out there someone is recording it so wow that process didn't really come into play because there was no none of that

time for it yeah yeah but what you did learn was that you watched and you listened and it was like how these i was very fortunate to work with some of the best actors in hong kong as well so i watched how they did it it was like i was fascinated how the hell do you cry on like yeah so what do you do where is that coming from yeah right and i think that's the time when you're young and you have to be like i am a ding dong i have no i am i am learning and if i am so proud and say i have fun then you learn nothing i would go to like genie yip and say please teach me wow right and you know then you work with like you know all the the amazing maggie chung yeah wow oh my god we were best friends but you know i'm not afraid to ask my best friend i have no clue what i do okay maybe i can do martial arts better than you but when it comes to the performances you guys and maggie is like an award-winning actress

yeah is to have a conversation with her and like so tell me how do you do this but i must say it's also the the director starting with you know with uh tomorrow that never dies really was my first international sure and we have a bond girl in the zoom everyone okay have some respect here this is our first bond girl ever on las vegas it's a huge moment and i remember roger spotterswood turning to me and he says you know i can double you when it comes to the action we don't need uh the martial artist or whatever it is you are here because you demonstrated in your auditions that you can carry the role of playing waylon you don't need us someone who can fight we because i can't double you when it comes to that emotional part yeah emotional side right so that's where you learn that how you have to be invested in the character and every director gives you something ang taught me tremendously about giving the

the the character a full background yeah that's very clear when you uh we watched the film again last night crouching tiger in preparation for this and even when you first come in and you see chao young fat for the first time there is so much history on your phone oh my god and it is very lived in he's obviously an incredible director yeah no surprises because i've had the privilege of working with like danny boyle like rob marshall and all these kind of people they it's a learning process but if you are ding-dong enough not to open your heart and mind to that then you've lost great opportunities to learn and so you know you gather all these kind of things and you learn how important the script is how important the director is how important your co-stars are are because you know that making a movie or a tv series is not a one person thing it's a true collaboration on all the different levels and all the people behind the

scenes yes you know the crew whether it's the gaffer the dp you know the set designer the costume designer your hair and makeup they help they're the accessories that make this character that help you build this character and make her real make her really really like you say have a life and yeah and i i just because i know you're not going to be able to tell us anything about the plot of the avatar sequels which you're in here's this is the question i will ask you what did you learn working with james cameron on these films if that's something you can answer he's a freaking genius yeah he is so creative he multitasks like madness he wow he's a writer he's the creator he dreams of all these universes that we can't even begin to fact i okay the one thing i said to him can't you turn me blue i don't know i'm like oh please don't leave me so i also learned that he is also very resolute in his decisions yeah he seems

to be a capital d director yeah you know what it is you have to be yeah that's how you have to be how you lead it's a discipline yeah it's it's a determination the discipline you know the do you have to be the doer you have to be the one that says yes no i imagine i have to visualize this i have to fight for what i believe in and it's fun with the director like here in the daniels cases with them so oh my god before but before i forget you mentioning maggie chung i just i just think it's incredible it's it's an incredible everything everywhere all at once it's incredible for movie lovers just because you you you can't believe you're watching like snippets of the wonkawaii film like you doing maggie chung you know i was going to say tony lung like it's just so incredible and i just think back to you in this movie like for any actor this would be so so so it's steeping yourself in so much work

before you walked and so but i think one i never dreamt that i would be an english i did not have that dream i was always like the ballet so watching ballets and you know seeing these ethereal creatures on the stage but one thing that always fascinated me was the cinema my mom was an avid cinema goer so human as a small child we would go as a family to watch all these like whether it was indian movies comedies love stories dracula you imagine and my dad was like the nature of us so documentaries tarzan ben hur but that that feeling of the magic of cinema sitting there and which i still see myself you know like yeah watching like the sound of music wizard of oz it was like all the all the things that i love into that but i did not understand at that point the magic of cinemate you know telling a story through cinema it was just enjoying it and taking in that whole experience did it lead me to this

i think when i was given the opportunity to join it when i was went to hong kong to do the commercial the watch commercial with a jackie chan and i was given the opportunity to partake in this world and you go like oh my god i remember the magic of it yeah maybe i can be part of that maybe that was the culture thing that julian and i had to say it sounds like it was yeah right so i said yes and today i still recognize that as a fact and i think when we went to watch uh everything everywhere all at once in south by southwest and i think for so many people it was the first time they'd gone to the cinemas in two years i mean these last two years has been such an impact uh on people's lives and so many different levels and you know with our industry on how it's been you know touch and go and opening up more like streaming and different platforms for uh creative people which is good and sometimes you please don't just rush

into it and turn it all out because right good things does take time and time is something like we feel that we're always like oh come on come on i need more of uh but sitting in that cinema and watching not just our our love on there but sharing that experience yeah it was with everybody oh yeah i was like when you hear them laugh and you're like yeah they actually find me funny they were like you know what's funny you were so funny and you were talking about how um it's that communal experience the first time i saw it i did go by myself but it was in a packed theater and during the end of the movie i truly cried during the last 30 minutes and i looked over at the guy next to me and we were having the same experience and it was really fun because even though i didn't know him it was that community connection right it was community and connection and i don't know anything about him you know i

don't know anything about his life i don't know anything about the woman he was sitting next to but we knew that we were receiving the same messages and we were internalizing them and maybe it meant something different to him when he was thinking about his relationships in relation to the movie than it was for me but we were both moved and when i went back with my friends last night it was the same situation where i was just excited to share it and so i would say to every everyone listening if you've been hesitant about going to the movies now is the time put the mask on if it's going to make you feel better go i mean it's just it's a movie that especially you know in the sequences where your reality is breaking and they have those incredible montages and kudos to the editor just watching that in the theater it was breathtaking it was just simply breathtaking nicely put well done and with our last five minutes with you we

i'm ready this is i don't think so honey his time starts now i don't think so honey a love before time by coco lee and the crouching tiger hidden dragon movie not winning best original song at the oscars in 2000. wow i'll tell you can you guess which song won that year i bet you can't was it 2 000 it was 2 000. it was things have changed by bob dylan from wonder boys no thanks who cares i all due respect to bob dylan we love bob dylan on this podcast but a love before time is one of the most iconic mandarin to english translations international hits 30 seconds can you think of an international hit from that time like for a movie to cross over that way and for the song to be nominated for the oscar and to impact nations communities all around the world and to not receive its due is abominable to me that song is auditory memory to me it's sense memory to me when i think about crouch integrating dragon i think

about michelle i think about charlie and fat i think about saying ze i think about everybody but that song deserves more five seconds i can't believe we as a culture have forgotten about a love before time by coco lee that's one and that's one minute wow absolutely correct bo look at the shell right now she is the lord michelle you can do it you can do it i know there's something in pop culture that grinds your gears uh can you bring me a bottle of whiskey please yes whatever else you do it for as long as you want it won't be the full minute but something that's like on your mind maybe from this press tour perhaps okay you know what i think one thing that i would say is i don't think so honey here we go and put your phone down and have dinner with your most adorable cuckoo and all of you are still on the freaking phone what are you pressing someone on the table that's next to you and you can't have a real conversation
