KINOMPIRMA ni Kris Aquino na sinabihan siya ng kaibigang Singaporean-American novelist na si Kevin Kwan na kasama siya sa sequel ng pelikulang Crazy Rich Asians na ipinalabas noong 2018. Ang titulo ng part 2 ay China Rich Girlfriend.
Ginampanan ni Kris ang karakter na Princess Intan at sa ilang minutong exposure niya sa Crazy Rich Asians napansin kaagad siya.
Ayon kay Kris, “I asked him (Kevin) because the opening of ‘China Rich Girlfriend’ is the wedding. And then I was asking him, ‘Am I going to be at the wedding? Is Princess Intan invited to the wedding?’
“And he said, ‘Of course! Because you’re the one who gave her (Rachel Chu, bilang si Constance Wu) the validation in Crazy Rich Asians. So I said, ‘Oh my gosh, I hope it happens!”
Kamakailan ay naikuwento ni Kevin Kwan na humingi siya ng advice kay Kris para sa ilang character sa bago niyang librong Sex and Vanity at ginamit pa nito ang pangalan ng Queen of Social Media bilang isa sa Filipino character sa Sex and Vanity.
“He said that, ‘I would imagine that was when your mom went to school.’ And I said, ‘My mom went to St. Scholastica, then she went to Assumption, and then she went to school in the States. And then he (Kevin) used the schools in the States where my mom went.
“Because my mom went to this school in Philadelphia where Princess Grace of Monaco actually went, so that’s included in the book.
”The sisters who are there (sa libro) they have a cousin named Kris who owns the biggest talent agency in the Philippines. And then they were telling the girl that she could be a model and that Kris is me. And I said, ‘Thanks, Kevin!’” pahayag pa ni Kris.
Noong 2019 ay nabalita na ang part 2 ng Crazy Rich Asians na ngayong 2020 isu-shoot, pero dahil sa Covid-19 pandemic ay hindi natuloy at posibleng 2021 na at 2022 na ito maipalalabas.
Samantala, sa sequel pala ay kasama na si Heart Evangelista bilang si Collette Bing sa karakter na sosyalerang Chinese blogger na mahilig umawra sa events.
