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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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 never read the Wicked book, or watched the Wizard of Oz movie, and I never seen a play of either one for that matter, but I’m so excited to see this movie that he directed!!
ok even though you don't HAVE to watch Wizard of Oz, it's better if you do (or at least become familiar with the story) so that you can understand a lot of the references. It also makes it more enjoyable to watch, seeing such a different depiction of the story. Wicked is 50 times better than Wizard of Oz btw. The story is genius. Wizard of Oz is just whimsical fun
This guy is the one that directed the "Jem and the Holograms" movie, what a flop! I can't believe they gave him one of the most important musicals in history.
He got it because he helmed Crazy Rich Asians in its extravagance is a musical without being written as a musical and was financially very successful. And the Heights which is a straight-up musical. They both made money. So will both chapters of Wicked.
omg yall are hopeless if you don't know what a woman with no makeup looks like. that isn't it. she's just not all baked, contoured, and wearing eye shadow, but it's clear she's got foundation, eyeliner, blush and lipstick on
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 ❤
this title is so reductive for him

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!
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!
Same! I'm gonna watch it as a birthday present to myself 🤩
me too!! i’m watching it three times the first week
Happy birthday in advance my loveeeeee ❤
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.
He did his big one with crazy rich Asians!!! I could rewatch this film over and over again. Please where is the sequel?
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
He so clearly is incredibly at his job and a lovely guy to boot
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 a great guy... he is so authentic. No wonder he makes such great movies!
The Rock telling Jon "you look like my cousin" is one of the most Polynesian things I've ever heard LOL. IYKYK.
Great interview! It was so good to hear his stories throughout his career thus far.
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 ❤🎉
Love love I felt like tears stood in his eyes. Thanks for a beautiful truthful interview
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.
What an honest and sweet way to bare yourself. Great job, Mr. Chu! We'll be waiting EAGERLY for your next display of talent!
@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.
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!

6:21 that's crazy bc when the scene replayed I instantly teared up
we so need crazy rich asians 2
3:52 Asian parents will humble us sooo quickly 😂
Petition for them to change the title ✋
7:32 I freaking love in the Heights. Lately my favorite movie
Fantastic interview! Jon M. Chu is one of those people that deserves and SHOULD work in the industry!
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE STEP UP 2 CAST BATTLE MILEY OMFGGGGGG
Chu recently published his memoir and it was an enjoyable read!
Ariana Grande is perfect to voice act thumbelina with Ben barnes as the voice of prince cornelius in a CGI animation remake ✨🧚
Great interview!
Can’t wait to see more of his work. He is here to stay!!!
Wow! Beautiful and inspiring interview. This is the kind of videos I really enjoy!
This is so inspiring!
The original Step Up beats the heck out of the sequels! Other than that, I felt in musical heaven when Jon was announced to direct Wicked!
this is beautiful
I mean crazy rich Asians is amazing so this guy gets an A++ from me
A great insight
This movie just "feels right."
Great interview but the title is so clickbaity lol it was like 20 seconds of the entire video
Icon.
i'm getting goosebumps thinking of this man this man's work. i love him so much.🤍😭
I had no idea he did Step Uo
8:52 🥺❤🙌
Such a lame title but amazing interview!
great interview but fix the title
Wonder if he prepared an Understudy, after the last PR stunt by Erivo
y’all should change the title…
1:29 Wow
This guy is the one that directed the "Jem and the Holograms" movie, what a flop! I can't believe they gave him one of the most important musicals in history.

but shes wearing makeup though ?
Change the title to something else.
no comments?
No. Please delete.
okay so basically HIS THE REASON SHE SAID GOODBYE TO POP ARI?? … when i catch u!
💚🩷
She's literally wearing makeup in those clips......
she’s not. just eyelash extensions
I don’t think she is when she’s wearing the tank top
omg yall are hopeless if you don't know what a woman with no makeup looks like. that isn't it. she's just not all baked, contoured, and wearing eye shadow, but it's clear she's got foundation, eyeliner, blush and lipstick on
the title of this video is trash
Horrible title. He deserved better.
i can’t wait for the ARIANA GRANDE MOVIE starring ARIANA GRANDE, coming out this November. So glad she’s finally the star in a solo project.
well starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande
Looks good… should be epic with AG👍
ArianaGATE
Great interview!
