1:05 opening it was a grand opening for a car dealership I didn't know Anthony was ████ selling yeah he was promoting a new Volvo dealership that was opening in in ████ Indonesia though yeah micronesian wow um no I was in China I was in the mainland China Go China we need more positive China stuff on here I love China people oh China people I like China dollars too I like China people I like I like adding unnecessary Chinese characters of American films Chinese food oh I love Chinese food nice my friend came out with this hot sauce from um the Jang Jang reason uh region it's
1:56 ████ I'll give you guys some it's bomb it's like the chili sauce thing oh yeah the chili crunch one oh chili crisps how is Lujan dude so Luhan is uh is amazing he's the artist I was choreographing for out there um this I might have mentioned it before this was the a crazy crazy experience because his tour was supposed to happen in 2021 the beginning of 2021 and this is when I went in the end of 2020 I went to China to work on this tour I quarantined by myself during this time for like two weeks I spent Christmas by myself in corn they still make you quarantine no this was this was in 2020. because that's the protocol back then yeah that's great did your mind go crazy just being in a hotel room you know what's weird the idea of needing to do it sucks but when you're there and you have to experience it it's kind of like a sick life experience yeah kind of he
2:47 loved Colvin yeah that's a that's a very strong way to put it but he loves it wait every day in the hotel it doesn't drive you nuts like I can't even go outside and there's a part of being nuts that like feels kind of like interesting because you develop like a unique routine and you you know what I mean like wait you couldn't leave the door like oh can you open the window and go it was like more like a prison than it was a hotel wasn't like a nice hotel by any means it's like it's like when they put you up in semi close to the airport and everybody's in hazmat suits when you first get off it's so funny to talk about Kobe right now but yeah even when you go with like let's say your significant other they put you in two hotels oh that's a ████ and then both of you guys are like that for two weeks yeah that's ████ what do you do do you get internet you get internet uh at least you get internet yeah but I was lucky because I was still uh able to like you know my my hosts are not host
3:39 but my homie out there Coco shoot I was still hitting them every day to like order ████ for me because like the food that they give you is like cafeteria lunch food they only give it to you like twice a day they like knock on your door they get uh they send it over to you and then they did not defeat the purpose of quarantine the food could be brought in all the time let's not question certain things that are hey hey One China map okay what I'm trying to do chill relax but anyways uh so I'm gonna be important thing about myself the quarantine is the the whole point is the door is like this but if like the doors like this like every ████ hour like how much but they're in hazmat suits twice a day they come in and they test you twice a day up in the nose yeah ████ that it was annoying now my Chinese nose so uh the point is we I finally like I spent six weeks out there in in 2020 all through 2020 uh the beginning of 2021 and then we get to like the first location where we're doing the tour stop number one uh on Thursday the show's on
4:31 Saturday show number one the Thursday that we're there we get approval from everybody in the city the high Chancellor of the city and stuff like that we're like good to go the stage is built we're rehearsing on stage we're like right to the Finish Line on it and then on Friday an official from Beijing flies in and it cancel the whole thing what whoa so like it just felt like we had spent months working on this thing like the Chinese fauci came in basically well is it because or is it because of hip-hop because I remember for a minute they're like it's not coping related it's just hip-hop no more dancing are you hip-hop on a rocket Bang Bang the Boogie the Bang Bang the Boogie stop it you know how they say hip-hop don't stop yeah not today China is stopped okay there was like a famous like hip-hop rapper who had like committed adultery like another famous yeah so then that turned into they're like it's degenerate culture
5:21 yeah man what is that that's American Hip-Hops so for the people that don't understand who Luhan is what's the equivalent american-wise artist is it like a Michael Jordan the way that Jackson uh describes it is he's like the Justin Bieber of China whoa this guy's got like a huge huge following cult following yeah like really really huge I mean he came from uh he came from Exo which is a a K-Pop group as well did he speak Korean he speaks Korean oh wow and so but then when you said I'm ████ better than y'all and then he went solo and then yeah like kind of like Beyonce what other words did he use yeah she's way better than y'all so he just went back to China to be with his family stuff like that and then he went solo yeah he was doing solos uh he's been doing solo stuff uh this is his third
6:12 tour um he he does like TVs dramas and like movies and stuff like that as well he's major that dude is on like Billboards for like Gucci and ████ like in the city is he from Wuhan because I'll be sick Luhan from Wuhan dude that's good branding for him for his name being Luan did he get ████ no I don't think so I think only Americans think like that yeah all right and uh so so we got all the way to the finish line and wasn't able to cross it so that was like a really devastating moment uh and then it was just kind of like indefinitely ended so how did you feel at that time to like have all this prep and then cancel it I think there's a like as a Creator when you're like prepping forever to like put this show together and then you don't get to show the audience it's like the biggest deflated
7:03 feeling that's true it's just so disappointing because you're not even doing it for yourself you're literally doing it for the fans that's true at least at least it was happening to everybody that would suck if it was just you guys and there was no covet it was it was definitely happening to everybody it did definitely feel like though that they were making an example out of him because he's such a huge star that if he can't do it no one else was able to yeah that's true and so it was like it felt it felt really devastating at that time because it's like if it was a small guy like wuwon or something and then like he's trying to do his music and then they're like nobody care about we want he only only he has 50 people in his audience Wu one sounds like a Mexican guy in the Wu-Tang Clan you know are you gonna get a chance to do a redo well that's the thing that's what I came back for this time that's it
7:53 so this two and a half years this was the dude like yeah they're like hey we're bringing the tour back so I was already like I'm not gonna believe you until like contracts are signed and I fly over there because my heart has already settled for like two and a half years of just thinking that it was all gone right and you're gonna have to do it again that's a big gap but here's the here's the crazy thing that was super super sick um last time we're like to the wire when you're putting together like a whole show big production like so many moving Parts like to the day of you're still working on this transition changing this costume figuring out this moment or whatever right who knows what the I know what those dance moves like exactly because you're a pro sort of not really and then we go this year but it's the same show we're just finally getting it prepped to get back on stage so I showed up and it was like 90 done already so this was a completely night and day different experience because we got to
8:44 go in there and it wasn't like chill where we weren't still working every day we're still doing like seven hour rehearsals every day but it wasn't figuring out ████ like crazy it was like fine tuning making things a little bit better you know what I mean kind of thinking about things that we didn't have the luxury to think about last time because we were just trying to get the meat and the bulk together now we're like really getting the sauces into the accessories and then because there's way less stress we got to just enjoy ourselves through the process so much more so I ended up having a ████ sick time over there because we were just me and Lou we were just going out to dinner like every single night he was taking me on this like whole ████ Beijing tour of like the finest dining wow I was so lucky out there he took me to like a ████ three Michelin star restaurant and this was just like on a Thursday what kind of food was that yeah Turtles did you eat scorpion in there no we went to a peking duck place in Beijing and
9:36 they had scorpion but we didn't order it the crazy thing I did out there was ████ bugs what kind of bugs so you ate bugs but not scorpion I ate them in my sleep all the time but you went to Michelin stars trying to eat bugs no it also just happened to eat spiders baby man that's kind of whack in the mission Star Restaurant you're eating things like ████ pigeon that's cool pigeons what'd you think of pigeon was it bomb so this is like like deep fried bugs they're like on the trees and they make these crazy sounds and ████ like that like cicadas that's the Michelin [Music]
10:29 he was just talking about eating scorpion I was like why what is that is that a regular snack over there like eating a bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos and in a particular City in Guangzhou like they basically this place this city is known for eating like almost anything so they don't need no raid or anything they could read everyone just eats oh ████ we got a lot of ants oh everybody come here [Laughter] no problem is that how it went down here oh my god dude he's like oh ████ ABS it's like a ████ line of coke hey I'm it was kind of tasty it was it good it
11:19 was actually good it was really crunchy I'm sure they prepared a specific way yeah they're like deep frying it in some crazy sauces and stuff when they season like one time I had crickets and when they seasoned it right yeah they did like a honey glaze thing too if it goes it like this big it was like this ████ big it actually was a bomb bro just tastes like dry shrimp yeah or like you know those those uh dried fish that like the the sweet and salty ones that you get from the Chinese markets yeah yeah yeah like those ones that's what it tastes like but bugs look like ████ yeah supposed to have good protein it's protein it's protein you know this whole movement everyone's like don't eat pig don't eat cow eat a ████ meal worm you know that thing like everyone's like eating that's a movement that's a move man I'm done with eating bugs too the uh the the eco-friendly people they're like eat the bugs I have a very like I want
12:09 to try everything once for the most part I still don't want to eat like I don't want to eat like cats and dogs but like I don't want to still try everything once like like fried come oh you guys want to try that of course your mind goes there the guy who brought in penis flavored chips from Europe I ate fish come yeah it's it's in sushi it's you probably ate it too uh it's called akimono oh yeah yeah you probably ate it too I did eat fish come fish ████ come sack isn't that what uni is technically or is that ovaries that's ovaries ovaries that's cool yeah I'll eat ovaries bro I'm not gonna eat ████ bro that's where I draw the line what do you got the mission Starbucks I like ovaries better they had like the sickest ████ no they're they're main dish or one of the Delicacies really was
13:00 is like this young pigeon and it was Chinese cuisine or yeah it was Chinese how big is a young pigeon I'm gonna show you a photo too it was like literally um this big but like that was half of it and then the other half it's it's like the whole thing you see like it sawed down the middle why do they like to do ████ like that's crazy man did they bring it in a cage no no when I was a kid and this ████ had a ████ pigeon and it came literally like this yeah it's like that but cut in half yeah and I'm like that is not appetizing to me to them I think they liked it but I was like what did it taste is good it's just bomb it's just ████ chicken honestly it's just like a really good seasoning yes imagine that chicken that that's just done really really well though you know what I'm saying it has to be because chicken liver they had they brought out this chicken liver that was like so it melts in your mouth like butter
13:52 nasty man they had they had this uh pork and cuttlefish sausage that was all black it was like a black sausage it was just ████ delicious it was good really so good now I'm gonna lie Chinese food looks like ████ yeah there was this episode of Bizarre Foods where they went to China and I forgot what city but it was a restaurant that specializes in all thick so it's just every so every plate is a different dick like Pig thing ████ tiger dick whatever dick right all kinds of Dick yeah and then they just prepare in different ways yeah there's a lot of penis that's available I don't know maybe they call it McDonald's or something I don't know Chinese people are weird man they just like there's just no way [Laughter]
14:43 Oscar Maya wait so it's true then those videos of these Chinese guys stealing pigeons and taking them in the bag and going in the back of bro that ████ happens another different countries yeah yeah it's definitely not just China do you think pound for pound Chinese people are the best at like eating all everything I mean I think the better you get at cooking the broader your food is that's oh that's a good art it's a very positive way no no that's true that's a positive way of saying they're ████ weird but China but Chinese food like by far out of all the regions like you put them all together it's it is probably it's up there bro well you gotta also think they got so many people yeah and they have so much land of diverse like from the north all the way down to the South they got so much terrain and ecosystem so they're gonna have a lot they also got hella history so they've been cooking like that forever but they make most of the like the food other countries did other countries did too
15:34 but they stopped doing it that's the difference so like Europeans ain't so ████ crazy ████ like there's pictures like them having feasts with the whole whole ass duck just out the same way I feel like Europeans don't even eat food anymore they just smoke cigarettes all the time they just smoke cigarettes and coffee and they have what is that place called Phoenix in they just have a plate full of duck tongues yeah that s███'s good is it oh yeah Chinese people crazy oh man how many ducks you gotta kill to get a plate full of duck tongue there's only one tongue per duck we out here we'll eat like chicken so frequently and we're always focused on like the drumstick or the breasts but then it's the organs and stuff that's usually the most nutritious Parts yeah I'm not gonna
16:24 touch that though dude I'm not gonna touch it you know there's a whole thing now with uh the carnivores saying like ah we're gonna eat all of it and then now there's like a bunch of white folks eating all the organs now oh like when they hunt deer and they eat that's kind of awesome because that's literally the most nutritious bar because there's a lot of the B8 actually they like ground beef more than steaks because ground beef has like organs cartilage all that stuff so they're actually saying ground beef it's actually it's all like whipped into a slurry bro ground beef is delicious it is oh you know I just recently found out some ████ you gotta be careful where you get your ground beef from because they put hella fillers in there man it's not just protein what is in there there's just you'll watch when they make it there's like ████ powders and all these preservatives and ████ that they throw in there where's this at dude I'll show you a pedigree pedigree yeah I'll show you dog food
17:14 [Laughter] have you seen uh what a turducken is yeah yeah they stuff a ████ all those three you know birds in one and I'm like that's kind of Chinese but it's European yeah it is okay besides eating really delicious top-notch food what else did you do while you're out there yeah um so because I was living such a well number one it was such a emotional Journey just coming back to a project that I I felt such a a downward slope emotionally from last time and then to come back and feel such an upward experience even getting to the first weekend show in Beijing I wasn't I was emotional you know what I mean it was like super dope and luhan's like way more than an artist I choreographer consider them like family you know like a brother like because we've gone through a lot of pain together he was
18:04 the guy who had to tell me he like brought me from the rehearsal stage in 2021 to the back room and he was like I have to tell you something and I was like man that sounds really heavy he's like the Show is canceled we just sat there and silenced together for a long time you know what I mean so that sucks I think when you go through something really hard with somebody you actually way closer with them than when you know everything's just good so that's true did you get paid though for all those rehearsals and everything I asked me in a couple months when the show's finished and then you know we should be oh the show's not finished yet no they're still going on right now no I'm talking about 20 20. like when you first went so that's the thing oh oh because I we didn't finish it contractually I couldn't get paid for the rest of it which was which was another level of like man this is I turned into a gift you know and you're constantly you know like I ain't about the money because you need to like self-preservation otherwise you'd just be really really sad and
18:54 upset yeah but that was another reason why I was like damn this is a tough loss the day before we don't get to like go to the first show therefore I don't get to get paid for like XYZ yeah so you're so you're not part of the performance you're just part of creating and cool I was just choreographer so now your your job is technically done they just go on tour yeah and finish off the tour that's what I was gonna say two years how did you remember the dance moves how did dance choreographers before video remember dance moves because you know musicians they got the notes um so they could write it that's a very good question but the ballerina people and the dance people how did they write it down yeah how do they write down anything do they do stick figures answer us stop lying to it yeah there's the the five Palm technique Book pamphlet that
19:44 you have to write every movie you never saw those books with the footprints on them nope is it like dancer Braille yeah those shoe prints and the arrows that's how you do it that's what I'm like I don't know because they still choreographed these masses you know the game like the game the game just danced or they got the little stick figures Just Dance there's got to be like ballerina sheet music huh yeah that's what the hieroglyphics were trying to tell you oh they're actually dance moves yeah that's what it's always been it's just a choreographer I just wrote on the wall that's why they say that's like an Egyptian I'm done now um so we're gonna buy us when you get your money right uh maybe get you guys some merch from the tour no I want Chinese bugs you want some Chinese bugs I want some Luhan merch bro I want flaming hot crickets I will say though uh just at least as a final note
20:34 that you know a lot of like pop stars and people that get like famous from like those you know uh groups and whatnot like not necessarily all of them can hella sing like that's just the truth of it you know what I mean but this will can ████ sing yeah so like it's it's way different when you're you become truly a fan of the person's music I'm a ████ fan of this because you like the music so you more feeling yeah you're just sitting there in the concert actually like I enjoy this concert didn't you work with him on hot blood Dance Crew I did that's how that's how we met which is and then we just kept going they were doing uh can't just were doing this TV show in China like a dance TV show that was like super popular and then me and Hawk went out to work on a different TV show that was like competing with that one oh yeah that TV show also won again [Laughter]
21:26 would you say you love Luhan I do I love it
