After the rounds of bidding, his proposals "300 Million Farm Workers Enter the City," "The Wisdom of Along the River During the Qingming Festival," and "Dark Ride" were all accepted (see "Crown Jewel: The Chinese Pavilion"). Yao was awarded the title of creative director, and his team was appointed as exhibit design developers and engineering contractors.
經過層層「PK」後，他所策劃的「3 億農民工進城」、「清明上河圖智慧長河」與「黑暗騎乘」等展示構想，全都獲得中國館採用（見「霸氣之冠──中國館」），姚開陽與其團隊，也順理成章取得該館創意總監頭銜、展示深化設計與工程承包商資格。
