Video producer and musician Justin Scholar enjoyed his fantastic moment weeks ago when he spotted his latest work playing on a huge electronic screen at New York's Times Square.
“It's sort of the American dream to see your name up inlights，” says the New Jersey native.“I'd never really cared about my name being that big, but going to New York and seeing the big screens, you always wonder if your work is going to make it up there.”
The video that helps Scholar fulfill his “American dream” was shot and produced in China, where Scholar is living and working as a media company owner.Scholar took his first Chinese class in high school seven years ago and made his first trip to Shanghai in 2015 through a studyabroad program when he was a student in New York University.The film and TV major changed his focus from technical art to traditional arts during his study in Shanghai, spending most of the time learning inkandwash painting, calligraphy and the guzheng, a traditional Chinese musical instrument.He also fell in love with the city, where he ate a lot of authentic xiaolongbao, or steamed meat buns, and felt safe walking on the streets at 3 a．m.
Shanghai impresses Scholar as an efficient, modern city calling for greater business prosperity with foreign participation, so he returned two years later, when his career at home was already booming after making commercials for big names such as CocaCola and Jaguar.
Thanks to a combination of luck and talent, he achieved the goal soon with a Chinese friend as his business partner, and the company has already produced some 15 videos for pop icons, fashionistas, and art museums in merely six months.The video that plays at Times Square, a tourism promotionalfilm for southwest China's Chongqing city, is the company's first project contracted(簽合同) by a local government in China.
