0:00 all the other dancers they bow down to the kindas they love the kindas how much do you abuse your power oh you know he goes full extent do you hey give me a cup of coffee what you know what I I abuse my power for the dancers actually I do do that so what are you do so tell me how do you swing that big old dick around look my assistant [Music] now welcome back welcome back to another episode of careful boys today we're going to talk about Anthony because he just got done doing a really crazy ass gig that he's not been telling us about Anthony what what was going on out there a shirt just opened up another car shop shut up y tell us is this you were choreographing for an artist in is
0:50 it Hong Kong Hong Kong Hong Kong and this guy's really famous the footage looks huge this guy is super these concerts look mive how does he feel about um the whole takeover my God me and Mike were the guest choreographers for uh this dude his name is Aaron quack he is uh a legendary like what are they called like the four oh he's like a j Chow the four basically corners of the Galaxy four corners of the Galaxy exactly Four Horseman of the Apocalypse one of the corners of the Galaxy is a Hong Kong guy four famous Hong Kong HP so he's like Andy Lao basically Jackie Chung Andy Lao Leon Li Aaron qu are they're called the four Heavenly Kings these this is like in the 1990s does Jackie Chan and Jackie Chan
1:42 fight a lot about like getting confused and and like I don't see how that's a do you ever get an argument with Joe Rogan how about M mitsuhara wasn't expec that m toar is my favorite okay so yeah so they they basically dominated like the pop music scene um and and like we're also uh huge in like Hong Kong action films and different movies and stuff this guy's played like Monkey King like two three times so they're like The Rat Pack basically yeah yeah they're they're huge how did you end up on that gig so does that mean he's old he is definitely not young uh Legend look that old he looks great that's how they always are they they just always look great for ████ ever too uh and their fan their fan base you could always tell about their fan base too their fan base is pretty like it's different when you're you know one one of my last tours I was
2:33 doing was obviously for for a much younger pop star so like all the fans are like you know from your teeny bopper type girls to like your maybe at at the oldest like early 30s whereas here maybe like at the youngest like early 30s to like oh so you're like women yeah yeah wow you're like you got some hot ass fans but here's the thing this is also the first time that I've ever choreographed for for somebody that like like um why why this was extra special to me was when I first went back to work on his new music video with Mike a couple years ago that got postponed to the actual shooting until earlier this year I remember being like I feel like I I know this guy but you know it's like I know that this guy's one of the four Heavenly King so I know that he's like really popular from that era he's literally a legend from that era but you
3:23 don't call him Aron qua in cantones you don't call him that in like you know it's either like gu Fu fuing or something like that in uh in Canton so like you just don't know these things until earlier this year we're doing research uh and and watching like old clips and looking up old videos to like understand where the the concert and the tours have been uh cuz he's a very very eccentric kind of personality and his concerts where it's like really crazy costumes his art director and costume designer is the art director for won car y films so it's like very crazy and legendary ████ all the time were you guys like Kung Fu style being on like k swinging around like a no no no no but his set design and production is ████ crazy um but point being uh I remember we're doing research and then this song comes on me and mich are watching this video to this song and I'm sitting there
4:13 and I'm like why the ████ do I know this song right and then I'm like listening to it more I'm like holy ████ I know this song this is on like a like a all like one of those like now this is what I call pop music type of Hong Kong legendary things like Hong Kong greatest hit that my parents would pop that CD in the van when I was a kid and it was my favorite song of the track but it was in cantones and written like that so I never knew what to call it or like the lyrics or anything like that I just like knew you heard yeah like you know if my parents didn't let me listen to any other music I'd be like I like this song track number seven track number four did you tell them that hey I'm working with one of your so that's the crazy thing it's when I this was the first time I worked with an artist where when I told my parents they knew who it was or when I told they must have been stoked they like finally Anthony made it it took you
5:04 long enough yo for real that for sure is as crazy as it sounds like that is a huge deal you know what I mean like that's my mom was like oh he's in a lot of movies too right I'm like yes ████ crazy you can connect with her on that my my one of my younger aunties was like hey can you go get a picture for me hair dude that's tight that's tight like that you know the the people that and ironically too it's like these are people in your family especially as like a Asian-American out here like you are seeking a lot of validation from like your traditional you know Normie cousins that like have their regular like I went to this Ivy League school to become this doctor or engineer or whatever and then you're the kind of you know black sheep of the family because I like I was sagging my pants and spiking my hair and trying to go into like hip-hop dance you know while other people were like going to grad school you're busy appropriating
5:55 I was busy appropriating you know trying to steal from the cultures you did it but then suddenly it's like it it takes me to where they're a fan of this pop star this icon and now you get it now you get the level at which like we're ████ around so how did he choose you though how did how' that happen and why not me how come he didn't see me how did he like come across like what made him how did he know about you and all stff I I think I think a lot of it always comes down to just like when you like I think we're very fortunate that kjas is on such a global stage uh and especially in the Asian circulation uh like I one of my things that like I'll here in America a lot of people won't know unless you're like deep into Asian music and stuff like that I'm proud to to acknowledge that I've been able to choreograph for and work with basically every major pop star
6:46 in China of this era that's ████ sck every main one it's like um like like like kind of like Chow M Wireless you know they connect us noodle strings and then just be like you ever heard about a kcha and go what do you mean kcha go I got them on my music video like I want him on my music video and then like it just connects from all the artists gotta yeah kind of I see where you're going at first I was like CH being Wireless where's this ████ going yeah it's like they they go from one noodle to another noodle they crack it open and then they go like hey you know this a kja and he's like yeah I know about the K like I know that that's how I got a lot of gigs when I was in China too like I know that a lot of my gigs came from the fact that I was like working on TV shows out there and when I was like on those reality competition TV shows with like Idol like you know uh stars or whatever we would
7:36 always win so like that's the thing you're you're going to want to work with the winning choreographer so that's like how my name would get passed around to different places so it makes sense that kinas as a crew or or myself would like be blessed and fortunate with these opportunities um actually I think that this particular one they might have hit up Mike first and Mike brought me on to that one so like Mike did a lot of the the core workor and he had to stay out out there for like 2 mons there looked like there was a ton of dancers on this gig too there was a good amount there was uh I want to say like 18 or something like that wow no more maybe like 24 24 dancers 24 damn like 14 boys or something like that any of your own guys or is it all no no all all Hong Kong people but the crazy thing is Hong Kong is so small in a sense that like these these people are like season they've even worked with Aaron for like
8:27 multiple shows like over the years some of like one of one of his dancers she's like 42 she had her birthday on the on the gig damn that's old yeah surprised she didn't break her that's like my age moves really really well and it still like looks looks you know young enough for sure I thought I was older than her she stays healthy um but she's worked she's danced on many of his tours knows all of his stuff and has been dancing for him for over 20 years 20 years yeah 20 years how her knees yeah good dude she's fish she's ████ chiseled like it's dud chy to be on that super soldier Vibes though all of them they got the serum down boy the kids that's true the kids win gold medals hard dude they work hard it's like the government supports them you know what I mean well we are talking about Hong Kong so it just depends on who wor talking to he's like
9:18 they're all tanks that's in subin's mind Ty they're you got me Joe you call me I'm not I don't know the difference you know how there's a slight a slight difference in North and South Korea kind like that no no I'm just saying know I know that slight ever so slightly but yeah just in general I was saying like everybody there is pretty ████ you know what I mean yeah they work so hard even the guys dude yeah it's awesome you know what I mean Chinese I'm just trying to say like you're campaigning dude what if America had that kind of support in general we'd have to get a lot less diverse first of all I know that's where we f that's where we start that's where we fail we're too diverse this episode is brought to you by DraftKings NFL week one is here and a new season means new

12:41 medium to reinterpret like what you're saying about like an artistic craft makes it so much more difficult to like get the job done or like if you happen to be in flow with an idea and you want to change something as it moves but then every single time they has to get like or it could be like Lost in Translation like maybe your idea is so very specific and the translation doesn't quite say the same thing I just imagine anthy going move like the ocean and then someone goes he said do it wet do more wet more water do more wet do more wet yeah like that Lost in Translation feel feel the vibe just ████ do it I don't know why but he tell me to take a shower he say I scky just do it he told me to take a shower today it just do it so the show
13:32 us this shirt at the end at the rap they gave you this shirt they made that of you yeah so so first like uh I had to leave Midway um because uh I for my yeah CU of straight up like that was my last session that I came back I just come back from Hong Kong you guys remember I was jet like Ben cuz I came back the day before back I came back from Hong Kong yesterday so you still haven't been back to your house so I haven't been home at all I'm like I literally haven't been back to Vegas um wait you flew from Hong Kong to play X yeah and then I I went straight into prepping my articles to come here let's go dude you're going to be nap you're going to be nap Lee I thought I FW yeah Bart where the ████ are you at Bart I think you beat me in how many miles you fly to get to JK holy ████ BR you get the title I think that's that's dedication you're winning just I counted how many times I I flew in the past couple of years it's like over 200
14:23 so like it was like 7 months of worth of flying everything that's crazy D Steve's got to fly from Russia see you got me beat I fly a lot that's for sure um but you you have a plane fetish when I uh so they didn't know I was going to come back to finish the tour they just thought that like the first leg that I was a part of I left and the mic was just going to say to finish it uh and then we we reworked the scheduling out so I can come back but that just meant that literally after JK I left and I come back before JK came in for two days and then left it's funny to be like I have to come back I I came back a day earlier the original contract had us come back on the 16th which is why Mike just came back in today but I I said I had to leave on 50 cuz I have to go do my YouTube channel that's sick hey be real though uh when you're in China or Hong Kong when you're working with dancers do is the respect like kind of they just they're not making eye contact
15:13 with you yeah do they treat you like less because you do I know how people see kjas out there I've heard I've heard like people talk about kjas in China it's really helpful because um like it's it doesn't even start at the dancers it starts at like the artist yeah the artist is coming in and they're like immediately like that's ████ cool and so you know like the dancers like they can't give you ████ one second a lip you know what I mean like you just you're in you have a small time to do a job that you don't know how it's going to go but you know that this person killed it in the game out here so you just have to follow and that's like that's how we always want to be even as a dancer working under sick ass choreographers out here I love when I walk into a room and like uh and the choreographer I know who they are I know how capable they are I have no idea what
16:03 they're going to do with me or my crew but I just know it's going to be a sick ass thing so we just shut the ████ up and we just I have a question for you so when you go to work gigs in Hong Kong and you know that the all the other dancers they bow down in the kind they love the kindas how much do you abuse your power oh you know he goes full extent do you hey give me a ████ cup of coffee what yeah I heard no cre dude I I heard every time he's at the car dealership he's abusing the coffee machine that they have for free I said fried hi and chicken this gu this guy's pooping in the toilet doesn't even flush I I do you know what I I abuse my power for the dancers actually I do do that so what you do so tell me how do you swing that big old dick around ████ my assisted now because I know that they'll listen to me on basically every job or like the the artist specifically is like really
16:54 in tune with wanting to like please Us in this weird way uh abuse the the production side to make sure that the dancers get taken care of fck cuz cuz the thing is that especially in China they don't have regular Union ████ out there they Tre like ████ anyway dude they be freestyling that ████ yeah you got to either be there for 14 hours every single day you're getting like a a little ████ plate of like rice and a couple pieces of food you know what I mean uh and if you got to be there 14 days in a row with no breaks that's the that's the game so you Uber eat them Turtles and ████ so I will I I will I will randomly be like hey can we get everybody coffee or like Boba or like can we get some like can we uh have a day off on this day and maybe can we do like you got to feed them some nutritious ████ where the turtles at hey y'all want Turtles no ask for tur no
17:45 turtles sure I I have many times been like hey I think we should take a day out with the dancers maybe we could take them all out to dinner and then because like I'm offering to take them out to dinner then the artists on the production team will be like oh you know it's like yeah we'll just take everybody to dinner and then they'll pay for that's d dang I want to work on an Anthony Lee production all the dancers like when is Anthony coming back man we want more Turtle I got a h for turtle now something they can get anytime Anthony got the good Turtle spots you got the best Turtle hey hey that's how you that's how that's how you're going to keep your name keep coming up everyone's going to be like Anthony if he works with for you he gives you free turtle lunch he told me they were passing on a phone get some Uber Eats and then the restaurant they wanted it was nothing but turtle that was me oh that was you that was me was
18:37 like they gave me the they gave us the phone and we were passing around like what the ████ when does the turtles end and the guy was like it's an all Turtle restaurant idiot you're like oh like can I get some like chicken or something no sides it's just different colors yeah I'm sure it's the cuz he knows about that ████ it's probably the Gourmet pick yeah they was like they were looking at it like oh you you get to ████ eat from the turtle restaurant it's like oh we got to ████ do steak but the crazy thing is the fact that you know all the tricks of the trade on how to like not manipulate but like China's could be could be so tricky like getting what you need the fact that by now you're probably a pro at like how to talk to like people to get them to do ████ for sure cuz everyone's instinct is to not do ████ that you need oh so it's like how do I cheat you that's the that's the game or how do I make it look like it's
19:27 beneficial to you to do this cuz most of the time it's not yeah I don't want to spend money okay don't give them a turtle well when like or at least when I was out there like no one does anything unless they're superiors that are watching cuz they don't get credit oh 100% so if you're just alone with a guy that's there he's just not going to do ████ that's true he won't hey boss you see this I'm working so hard ████ hard man boss walks away pull out a cigarettes they're like ah ████ plus it's also the fact that there's no unions nobody's really protected if they ████ up helping you out oh yeah once you've seen a guy on a 40ft ladder scoot with his legs across the floor to fix a light while welding like this and his eyes are just he's just covering when he's like when he's literally sco a 40ft ladder like that and like half the people when it's their turn to take a break they're just pulling out cardboard pieces of ████ and they're just taking a nap on like
20:17 the floor just dirty and ████ yeah my friend um he does Productions in a Southeast Asian country I'm not going to say which one but he loves it out there because he's like they'll work around the ████ clock you can get ████ done quick I mean he definitely he goes if ████ get hurt he's like so what we'll find another guy D they build they build whole sets overnight crazy fuing crazy yeah he's like dude we'll shoot for 20 hours whatever the ████ damn and I'm like but yeah shout out to the dancers because uh yeah they didn't know I was coming back uh so Mike did this thing where when I did fly in he he told everybody to restage this formation and the ending with that put him at a diagonal that kneel down towards the door right and all of them were like we have to make this change what the heck and then they all do it and he's like hold it and then the door opens and I run through and they're like shut the ████ so then so that was hilarious and
21:07 then um so later on on the on the my last night there after the show U while while me and Mike were like taking photos with Aon and stuff like that they bring us back in and then they're like hey we need to go to the rehearsal room so we go to the rehearsal room we open the door and they're in that formation again but all of them are wearing t-shirt that's so sweet that's that's yeah I saw that and it was like oh my God it was just the most like it it's always Bittersweet when you like in a short period of time you spend an enormous amount of time working with people like through like suffering hours to make this amazing production come together and then when it's over it's just over you just bounce to the other side of the world and it's like that bit sweetness kind of like to to bookend it with something so sweet and sentimental and thoughtful and stuff like that is just it's always the greatest feeling that's why I always I'm so down to quit JK if they just give me more jobs out there but no you're not dude
21:59 there's I come back here just to make sure Steve knows that I dedicate myself deeper yeah but there's only so many car lots that can be opened where was this job on the scale of like stressful 1 to 10 for you to me this was not a stressful one to me this was like everybody is like the production team had their ████ together we were always in like good working conditions the dancers were great and like the translations weren't I mean I spoke English cuz it's Hong Kong it seems like you could have abused your power a little bit more on this Tru stressful ones you know are like the TV shows in China concerts and tours to me it's like it's it's you're more in control the media ones are tricky cuz you don't know what the ████ the play really is and TV ones too sometimes they're like rewriting that ████ overnight wow dude you know how much it hurt the ████ show that we did it was a competition show at the very end the most unlikely dude won and we were like what ████
22:50 happened and the guy was like oh I forgot to tell you guys uh yeah he paid this uh the show so he was supposed to win the whole time like what the ████ these are rigged but like we just brought your American ass to show that he's a better yeah they were like we had we have a deal with his I guess like he's part of like he was part of this uh like Temple like this the temple consulate or some ████ had like made a deal with the network they wanted to bring more honor to this like Temple he was a part of that's ████ crazy that's a sick ass move from the temple though that's ████ money L the world y'all a game move a game move imagine the whole time like but you got paid at a rig event a lot of people they don't even get paid that's true true that's true you should be thankful it could always be worse it was a deal with child man Wireless child man Wireless woo they speak there the rumors travels
23:41 fast y
