Salt Lake City International Airport was bustling with people coming and going. Wang Yang, with a black suitcase slung over his shoulder, strode out of the terminal. His visit wasn't meant for a set tour; after all, he was part of the High School Musical 2 crew. His primary purpose was to discuss some script issues with the director of High School Musical 2, Sara Schulman.
At 34, Sara Schulman was a British female director who had just received a nomination for the Best Short Film at the British Academy Film Awards, earning her this directing opportunity. She had already asked Wang Yang to come to Salt Lake City several times before because unavoidable problems with the script could arise during actual filming, and the director would need to communicate with the screenwriter to identify and solve these issues.
