When the "District 9" film crew finished all their shooting work in Johannesburg, they embarked on the journey home. At São Paulo Airport, where they had a layover, the crew announced their disbandment. Everyone was going their separate ways, and professional security would naturally handle the transportation of the camera equipment and film results. The flight from São Paulo to Los Angeles landed steadily, and it was already the morning of Christmas Eve.
In the departure lounge of Los Angeles International Airport, Wang Yang, accompanied by two bodyguards whose contract had ended, was carrying a duffel bag and pulling along a suitcase full of gifts, walking towards the exit of the terminal. The lounge was filled with the atmosphere of Christmas, with a huge Christmas tree standing in the center of the lobby and the pleasant music of "Jingle Bells" playing, as people hurried home.
