People read too much into things, but reporters were usually smart .
When Qin Guan approached them, they asked their questions without hesitation . Qin Guan shrugged awkwardly .
"Yes, the organizers gave me a chance to be here, but only for the red carpet event . Maybe they thought I hadn't taken enough photos this year . I'll have to work harder to win an Oscar next year . "
"Really?" The reporters were disappointed .
Qin Guan was always aware of his status though . As soon as he reached the end of the red carpet with Director Zhang, he escaped under the giant golden figure to avoid taking any pictures . Then he said goodbye to Zhang Weiping and returned to New York .
Qin Guan boarded a flight to Vancouver, where he would begin filming soon . His new film was called "Night at the Museum" and it was produced by 20th Century Fox .
The New York Museum cherished its exhibits too much, so the crew had failed to get permission to film inside the real museum . Instead, they had built a copy of it .
The collection of the New York Museum included everything, from celebrity sculptures to dinosaur fossils . It had everything one could expect to find .
As soon as the curator had found out about the dangers of having a film crew there, he had rejected the director's offer without hesitation, even though he had received a call from the mayor .
The mayor apologized to the crew and handed them his campaign flier, with the hope that they would still vote for him .
The director was a straightforward man, so he had decided to build a new museum .
In order to save money, the reconstruction would not take place in Hollywood, but in Vancouver, which had been nicknamed "Northern Hollywood" .
Vancouver, which was north of Seattle, was the most developed city of the Canadian film industry . Canada was a country that was greatly influenced by the United States .
The city's geographical location and pleasant climate had attracted countless immigrants from all over the world .
The Chinese population in Vancouver had reached 2 . 3 million . The city was deeply influenced by the United States and linked to the industrial sector in Seattle . A large industrial town was located around the city . Its residents shared the same worry as the Chinese, which was the high real estate prices .
In 2007, the housing prices in Vancouver were second only to Tokyo's . This only applied to ordinary people though . 20th Century Fox would actually save 20%-30% on its budget .
The next morning, Qin Guan headed to the shooting site leisurely, feeling completely refreshed . He had heard the news about the Oscars . As expected, Director Zhang had not left empty-handed . The American film critics and media had found the film pretty good, so the rare Chinese film had won two awards . This was basically Hollywood's indirect way of accepting the film .
Zhang Yimou's film had won the Best Costume Design Award and the Best Cinematography Award .
In combination with the film's box office in China, the Chinese blockbuster had done pretty well .
Qin Guan felt reassured . Now he was in the right mood to check out his new working place .
The crew had invested 10-15 million dollars on the film . Of course, the actors' salaries were not included in that amount .
Big companies like Fox, Columbia and Warner spent a specific amount of money on new scripts . Any creative idea from all over the world could intrigue them . Outstanding scripts poured into their offices every day .
