HIGHER and HIGHER: Chapter I

QINGDAO: THE JOURNEY BEGINS

Summary:
The Haier Brothers work in the Haier factory, but not for long. Suddenly, the brothers are thrust into a mission that will take them across China. They begin their mission in Qingdao and visit the Olympic sailing venue for clues. Next thing they know, they hit a beer festival, go windsurfing and then swim off to Beijing.



Chapter I FAQ:

Who are you guys?
We're the Haier Brothers. The beginnings to the first four movies sums it up: "We are two Americans..." Watch the rest to find out.

Where is Qingdao?
Qingdao is on the Yellow Sea, about an hour's flight from Beijing and an hour's flight from Shanghai. With 7.5 million people, a hundred massive buildings going up at once, cheap and good Qingdao beer, and Olympic sailing, it's what you could call an up and comer. Take notice.

You guys really worked in the Haier T.V. factory?
It's interesting, we've been asked this question by more than one person. We never actually worked in the T.V. factory except to film. We did share some laughs with the employees, and then asked if we could take one of the LCDs home. They told us we were funny, and then said no.

Who is the man that sent you on the mission?
He is one of the division heads at Haier. In essence, he really did send us out for the mission, but we dramatized it in the film. Though the scene has not brought us an Oscar, our acting did land one of us as a star of a commerical. More on that later.

Did I see that stunt at the end of the movie somewhere before?
Yes. We stole the idea from "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." Good eye.

Did you really swim to Beijing?
Yes.

I think you guys are great!
That's an exclamatory sentence, not an interrogatory one, but we'll let it slide.
