FADE IN:

EXT. TRAIN CAR - DAY

Phone in hand, PETER checks a What'sApp message. He looks stunned and we see:"I've just WhatsApp him Peter's song.

PETER

A music professor to whatapp

to the music professor who

taught him of my song?

FLASHBACK

INT. RESTAURANT - DAY

A GROUP is having dim sums at a round table. A LADY (60s) sits next to Peter.

LADY

I've just liked our song "A

Winter's Day published on

Facebook.

Peter smiles.

LADY (Cont'd)

Melody aside, I love your

visual editing in the music

video.

Peter appreciates it.

PETER

Thank you very much for your

encouragement.

A PROFESSOR (60s) arrives and sits next to the lady. A CONDUCTOR (64) speaks to him.

CONDUCTOR

Have you brought along with

your 10th Symphony?

PROFESSOR

(Shaking his head side ways)

It should be ready in about a

year from now.

PROFESSOR (Cont'd)

(Turning to Peter)

I've got your song... Why is it so

short?

PETER

I've to make it short to ensure

it's easily transmitted over the

Internet.

PROFESSOR

Have you become a member

of the Composers & Authors

Association of Hongkong?

PETER

(Shaking his head sideways)

I don't even know how to

transpose my songs into

sheet music...

PROFESSOR

That might not be required.

Have you publicly performed

your songs?

PETER

I've made them available over

the Internet. Anyway, I'll check

it out.

END FLASHBACK

Peter exits.

INT. STUDY - DAY

Sitting behind a computer and surrounded by guitar cases and music gears , Peter checks an incoming email.

PETER (V.O.)

The conductor was prompt

in replying.

We see the last line of an email: "Keep composing and stop decomposing..."

PETER (V.O.)

(Hand in cheek)

What an encouragement to me

from a first grade music graduate

and orchestra conductor!

Peter replies. We see:"I'll heed it in my heart." Peter looks proud.

FADE OUT. The End
