l   大導演史蒂芬‧史匹柏（Steven Spielberg）評論：「這本關於朱浩偉職業生涯的回憶錄，就像一幅藏寶圖，將激勵新一代的電影工作者。」
l   知名非裔女性製片人艾娃‧杜威娜（Ava DuVernay）力薦：「對有志成為藝術家和夢想家的人來說，本書是必讀之作。」
 
       以《瘋狂亞洲富豪》（Crazy Rich Asians）入圍金球獎、聲名大噪的華裔美籍導演朱浩偉（Jon M. Chu），在這部自傳中坦率陳述身為華裔移民所面臨的自我認同掙扎，並回顧他如何在文化的衝擊與碰撞中，淋漓盡致地發揮自己的創造力，在競爭激烈的好萊塢嶄露頭角。
 
       朱浩偉從小就會到父母親經營的中餐廳幫忙，由於餐廳位在矽谷，用餐的賓客時常會聊到科技公司的最新研發計畫、試誤的歷程。這些談話內容，讓朱浩偉很早就體悟到：在變動與混亂中最好的選擇，就是勇敢地大步向前、穿越迷霧。他將在書中回顧進入南加大電影學院，正式踏入影業的心路歷程，以及努力能成就任何事的信念，如何幫助他在人生的旅途上，勇敢前行。影迷、移民者，或是想成為藝術家、正在尋求自我定位的讀者，都將從中得到共鳴。(文/博客來編譯)

From the renowned director of Crazy Rich Asians and Wicked comes a powerful, inspiring memoir of belonging, creativity, and learning to see who you really are.

＂[Jon M. Chu] is a visionary. . . . He makes you believe you can do the impossible. He coaxes what he needs out of us to help him tell stories, to push boundaries, and then he elevates our voices, bringing joy to the millions who love his films.＂--Michelle Yeoh, on Jon M. Chu for the TIME 100 Most Influential People of 2025

＂A must-read for aspiring artists and dreamers of all kinds.＂--Ava DuVernay

Long before he directed Wicked, In The Heights, or the groundbreaking film Crazy Rich Asians, Jon M. Chu was a movie-obsessed first-generation Chinese American, helping at his parents’ Chinese restaurant in Silicon Valley and forever facing the cultural identity crisis endemic to children of immigrants. Growing up on the cutting edge of twenty-first-century technology gave Chu the tools he needed to make his mark at USC film school, and to be discovered by Steven Spielberg, but he soon found himself struggling to understand who he was. In this book, for the first time, Chu turns the lens on his own life and work, telling the universal story of questioning what it means when your dreams collide with your circumstances, and showing how it’s possible to succeed even when the world changes beyond all recognition.

With striking candor and unrivaled insights, Chu offers a firsthand account of the collision of Silicon Valley and Hollywood--what it’s been like to watch his old world shatter and reshape his new one. Ultimately, Viewfinder is about reckoning with your own story, becoming your most creative self, and finding a path all your own.

Jon M. Chu is known for his visually stunning blockbuster films, including In the Heights and Crazy Rich Asians, which was nominated for numerous awards, including two Golden Globe Awards, one for Best Motion Picture--Musical or Comedy; a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble; a PGA Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures; and four Critics Choice Awards, winning one for Best Comedy. Born the youngest of five children in Los Altos, California, Chu continues to use the influences of his childhood (family, technology, food, music, and movement) to tell personal stories in a variety of mediums that connect with audiences from around the world.
