ABC banished FOTB to Friday night last fall, and the creator/showrunner, Nahnatchka Khan, is leaving the series for a new deal at Universal. Since FOTB was on the bubble this year, Wu probably thought the series was done and got an unpleasant surprise this afternoon!
Anyhow, the standard TV contract USED to be five seasons, but it must be more than that now. Or she renewed her deal earlier in the series' run.

FOTB is a network show, show she's probably making bank. With this new season, it'll likely go into syndication, which means even more cash in her pocket. There are more than enough struggling actresses out there who would kill to have her problem of having a job!

R1 John Stamos. Back in the aughts he had a sitcom called Jake in Progress that was cancelled after the first season. Rumor had it that John was about to sign to join the cast of ER, when suddenly ABC renewed Jake in Progress for a second season. Cut to the fall and ABC then cancelled the second season of Jake in Progress after airing ONE episode. Basically, they renewed the series to keep him from joining the cast of ER.
He did wind up joining ER later, but I would say that would be an example of someone (justifiably) being unhappy that their show got renewed.

R82 I would say no. Watching the movie you can see where the cuts were made and the books were in desperate need of editing but somehow they managed to cut out the only storyline that most of the readers cared about. The books relied heavily on footnotes so it doesn't translate well into a standard type of romcom movie that the director went for.
It made money not because of the strenght of the film but on the popularity of the book series. There are better movies to watch and there are much better asian american movies to watch.

In a lengthy tweet Saturday, the series regular addresses the reasons behind her Friday tweets expressing anger and disappointment that her ABC comedy had gotten another season.
“I love [Fresh Off the Boat]. I was temporarily upset yesterday not because I hate the show but because it’s renewal meant I had to give up another project that I was really passionate about,” she wrote. “So my dismayed social media replies were more about that other project and not about FOTB. But I understand how that could feel interconnected and could get muddled. So here is me unmuddling it with my truth: FOTB is a great show that I’m proud of and that I enjoy. I’ve gotten to fully explore my character and I know her like the back of my hand.”
Wu went on to explain that while playing Jessica is easy for her, the unnamed project she had to give up “would have challenged me as an artist.” Still, she notes, the timing of her online rant “was insensitive to those who are struggling… I do regret that, and it wasn’t nice and I am sorry for that.”

Renewed And Crying
[Blind Gossip] This blind item is similar to the last one. Except the actress in this case is crying for a different reason!
This comedic network TV series was just picked up for another season.
The lead actress must be thrilled, right?
No. Opposite!
She’s pissed. She has big plans for a movie career and wanted out. Now that it’s renewed she is forced to stay on for another season.
That’s not all!
You would think she would be grateful to have a steady job. She is actually the most ungrateful, classless actress working today. Everyone on the set hates her. She is a very vulgar, nasty person.
Yikes. She seemed so sweet in her last movie that we had no idea that her real life persona was so different! That’s crazy.

It's weird. I feel like it's 1985 again. I thought that actors were able to transition between film and tv seamlessly. It's not like before where actors only did one medium, not both. Look at Reese, Nicole and Meryl with Big Little Lies 2. Yes, it's not as long a season as FOTB but it's still television.
Wu must not have a good agent or good management who can negotiate either a shorter season or appearing in fewer episodes. Viola Davis was smart to agree to a short season, but then again, she had more clout when she started HTGAWM than when Wu started her series.

If this other role was a lead the production could have waited for her. Either Maze Runner or The Intern pushed back their production to accommodate Dylan O'Brien's schedule. But she just have to deal like every other TV actor does by waiting for your hiatus.

Too bad that American actors still think of television as some kind of inferior product and will sabotage themselves just to get some film work.

Best to look for great roles even if in a mediocre project because it's the work that makes the difference not the medium the work is in.

While anything is possible, the general public usually turns on certain types of behaviors, one of which is whining about rich people's problems, .e., complaining that your tv show got renewed. If the show had been cancelled and she cheered, that would be another one.
Even if she goes on an apology tour, there is a certain ingratitude that the public rarely forgives - see Katherine Heigl who ripped on both the vehicles that made her famous (Grey's and the Aptow movies). It's why people enjoyed watching Heigl's scramble to get work. David Caruso was the byword for this particular type of arrogant ingratitude. Until Heigl, he was the punchline of such jokes.

It wasn't particularly high rated when it was on Tuesday. It had a shorter season 4 (19 episodes) but it got renewed for 5th season and moved to Friday. She probably thought it was going to collpase there. It went down to 0.6-0.7 but given the sad state of Friday tv shows it was deemed ok (Black-ish and Bless the Mess got renewed with 0.7 on Tuesday and American Housewife with 0.8-0.9 on Wednesday).

Fresh off the Boat likely only has one more season left. There’s been a recent regime change at ABC. They are now in the process of developing their own new shows. These won’t be ready until the fall 2020 season. FOTB and a lot of other shows are just filler. It’s pretty common for actors to wish the axe would just fall already under these circumstances, they just don’t usually say so in public. They aren’t going to get a lucrative contract renegotiation. It’s already got enough episodes for syndication. They’ll be looking for work soon enough and being chained to a show on it’s death bed prevents them from taking on new projects. She shouldn’t have said it out loud, but there are plenty of people who’ve felt the same way.
Someone way up thread asked if actors have ever been disappointed by renewal before. Loretta Swit wanted out of MASH so she could be Cagney on Cagney and Lacy. She was stuck playing Hot Lips for two more years. C&L ran for 7 or 8 seasons. She would have been better off without those last seasons of MASH. She was already in her 40s and there weren’t going to be a lot of opportunities. Pierce Brosnan was set to play James Bond and then NBC renewed Remington Steele for half a season and he couldn’t play Bond. Most actors are happy to have a high rated show that they can expect to go on for years, they just don’t want to miss out on bigger and better projects for something that will be ending soon.

Fuck this entitled, ungrateful bitch. She had no regard for her cast and crew, many of whom were probably worried they might be out of a job because it wasn't a guarantee the show would be renewed. She doesn't have to worry about rent cheques or feeding families.
And seeing other ABC show casts like Speechless and Whiskey Cavalier thanking their show's CREW for their hard work really puts it in perspective.
The only way for Wu to get out of this is to make a grand gesture like Mark Wahlberg did with that Michelle Williams fiasco: pay up, give money to people who lost their show, or give money to a union.
Because this will not end. The more shows learning they are cancelled will just remind everyone of Wu's ungratefulness.

Yes, sure, everyone has frustrations at work for any number of reasons. However, someone who is a public figure like Wu needs to have much more discretion about saying something that appears so bitchy, ungrateful and damaging. Like someone said upthread, say it to your boyfriend, best friend, personal assistant, etc. But don't tell the world. Tell your agent. And stay the fuck off Twitter. No one believes Wu's pack-pedaling lame excuses. She came off like a monster on her first tweet--and she probably is.

Her apology/explanation is way too long and doesn't feel sincere. If your "apology" is all about why you're not really such a bad person, it's not going to work.
Selma Blair should teach a master class on this shit. She had some kind of public meltdown a few years ago and after issued a public apology which was basically "I fucked up, I'm very embarrassed, and I'm very sorry." Short, simple, contrite, incident, PR crisis over. No "here's why what I did wasn't really that bad," no "I'm so misunderstood," no "here's why it's not really my fault."
Wu should have kept her dumb drama queen ass off Twitter. Failing that, she should have just said "In a moment of selfishness, I failed to consider the importance of this show to so many people and the hard work of the entire cast and crew that have made it so successful. I am very embarrassed and I apologize. I hope I can make it up to them and I fully intend to honor my commitment to them and this show."

The show's been a mess since day one. It's based on the childhood of that Asian celebrity chef who wrote a book about it and it originally supposed to star the oldest son. Trouble is, his childhood was actually pretty dark (the father killed himself) so they quickly refocused it to make it more about the parents, and the chef (who did the narration the first season) got mad and left the show.

[quote]The show's been a mess since day one. It's based on the childhood of that Asian celebrity chef who wrote a book about it and it originally supposed to star the oldest son. Trouble is, his childhood was actually pretty dark (the father killed himself) so they quickly refocused it to make it more about the parents, and the chef (who did the narration the first season) got mad and left the show. Since then it's been all over the map.
I knew they changed things from reality, but I had no idea it was that much or that things got that bad. ABC basically turned it into [italic]That 90s Show With An Asian Family[/italic]. And even then there were inaccuracies; Jessica herself said "VCR it" the way we say "DVR it today." No one said that in the 1990s. No one. And the timeline of what year it is seems to be all over the place.

She's a bigger diva than J.Lo!!! is that even possible lol
An insider from the set of “Hustlers” said that while the actresses get along well, behind the scenes Wu is a way bigger diva than her more famous co-stars J.Lo and Cardi.
Wu “is a pain in the f–king ass. She just won’t agree to do anything,” the source said. “She refuses to do interviews, she won’t have visitors on her sets. It’s like a cliché. She is very talented — but all signs are pointing to a difficult diva.”
A third insider who worked with Wu added, “She’s a total piece of work. She thinks it’s OK to treat people badly and say out loud whatever comes to her. She’s the new Katherine Heigl, and if she’s not careful, her movie career will go in the same direction — downhill.”
Yet another source on the set of “Crazy Rich Asians” added that Wu “was standoffish and arrived to talk to reporters in a separate van from the cast, who came together. It was clear they didn’t socialize . . . She was icy cold, leaving it to Henry Golding to charm everyone.” At a screening last summer, Wu rolled her eyes when co-star Michelle Yeoh spoke.
Wu’s reps didn’t comment, but her team is begging her to be gracious, we’re told.

[quote] Are you the delusional queen who said CRA was out of touch and the studios would regret it?
No. I'm simply looking at its worldwide performance and figuring what it means for future installments. I saw the movie on a plane. I felt fairly ambivalent about it. There was nothing particularly good about it, but it was inoffensively bland and simple. But unlike My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which was a grassroots, word of mouth hit, CRA was marketed up the wazoo to the tune of $60-70m, so it gave the illusion of being a WOM hit. In reality, people went, but they weren't recommending it the way Greek viewers did. And people were going back to see Greek 2, 3 times (why, I have no idea). I would liken CRA to the success the first Sex & The City film had. In the US only. SATC did double overseas what it did here. CRA's overseas take was roughly a third of what it was here.
We know CRA 2 will have a far larger budget, and a commensurate P&A spend. We also know that in most instances, sequels do 1/3-1/2 the business of the prior film in the US. SATC2 did $95m in the US, about 2/3 what the first one grossed. Even with horrendous reviews and WOM. Because people loved those characters and were willing to sit through garbage for them. I don't see that kind of devotion to the characters in CRA. I think the 2nd movie will do $75m tops, and likely cost over $100m when you factor in P&A. (I'm also not sure CRA really cost only $30m, but they may have gotten some breaks through the Chinese govt, which likely won't be repeated since the movie tanked there).
By the time you get to a third movie, especially in a franchise that's been exhibiting diminishing returns in the US, international grosses are usually the only thing making that third movie financially viable, but since we already know there is no international market for this franchise, they would be crazy to waste the considerable P&A money to release the third film theatrically and just give it a big push on a streaming platform. Especially if they're shooting the two films back-to-back, they won't be able to look at what made the 2nd film do poorly and come up with a gimmick to rescue the third. (e.g. the Back to the Future trilogy)

So what was bitch Wu's "passion project" that was supposedly at the heart of her childish, uncalled for tantrum and over which she was prevented from participating in due to her commitment to FOTB?

I thought the movie was so predictable. guess it's something the whole family can enjoy.
I liked the comedian in it. I don't know her name but she was funny.
I guess the whole point is this "prince" picks this "normal" and poor girl for marriage.

Surely something boring.

I thought it was revealed that it was a role in the new Marvel movie "The Eternals." Was that incorrect?

R486. I hope it was incorrect. I have no problems with comic book movies but there's no way they present material that would challenge anyone as an actor, so if that was the project that she said would, that's laughable.

A comic book movie was going to stretch her acting abilities??
Okay.

Oliver Stone's "Heaven and Earth II"
Give Connie the director she deserves.

R488. A big, comic book movie would give her a big pay day.

Yes. But she said she could play the character on FOTB very easily after 4 years, but the new project would have challenged her as an "actress".
Is it suddenly challenging to do fantasy/action flicks, acting wise?

The project she has to turn down is an original sci-fi film called "Lost Planet". It was said to be "Solaris"-esque, not just typical visual effects yarn.

R496 The original Russian version is brilliant. The remake in the early 00's starring George Clooney is a piece of shit.
