The Big Picture ✕ Remove Ads Based on the novel by Charles Yu, who’s also the series showrunner, Hulu’s Interior Chinatown follows Willis Wu , a waiter working alongside co-worker and best friend, Fatty Choi , used to being in the background of his own life when he witnesses a crime that pushes him into the spotlight as a main character.
CHLOE BENNET: Well, I certainly was trapped in one for about seven years and it was a procedural cop show. I will say that I feel like that was the one to be trapped in. I’m really thankful for the time I worked on it. At its core, it was certainly a case by case procedural show. So, I guess I’ll say that one because I was, and I’m here.
BENNET: It certainly is not. I think it was actually easier to read and understand. Applying these broader themes and the differentiation between the world and the characters and how they interact with each other throughout the entire production is where you really notice the shift between the media of books and TV. It’s not even film.
CHIENG: With Jimmy, he and I have known each other for so long now that any dynamic between me and him comes very naturally, whether it’s fighting or comedy or just hanging out. I’ve known him for a while now and we’re very different people, but we have very similar backgrounds, in terms of coming from Asia and doing stand-up comedy in America. Working with him is very easy for me. And being comedic relief is easier for me than vice versa.
Is there a difference between finding the funny when it’s your own comedy versus finding the funny that works for a specific character? ✕ Remove Ads BENNET: It’s interesting. That’s a great question. One, I’m older and I kicked so much that all my bones are aching and I’m injured everywhere. I was really, really happy, physically, to not have to do anything. The one stunt I did, I’m pretty sure I dislocated my finger and it still hurts. I shouldn’t be doing that stuff anymore. S.H.I.E.L.D. was always super difficult for me because I don’t feel that way.
