A Singer-Song Speaker

FADE IN:

INT. STUDY - DAY

Working on his phone, Peter stops.

PETER (V.O.)

I've to speak on IP in an

hour or so.

Looking at the his phone.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

My answer to a political

question attracts one

view per minute. My IP

answers? A few in few

hours.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Should I bring my guitar?

No speaker would bring

a guitar to a conference.

...I can bring and won't

use it. See how my mood

goes.

Peter grabs an acoustic guitar and leaves.

INT. LECTURE THEATRE - DAY

Quite full. SPEAKERS speak. Peter sits in the front row, listening.

PETER (V.O.)

In my 20s, I tried to be

academic and liked to

mine fine differences.

Now, I've become very

practical and want

actions and outcomes.

Pausing.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

Let me first sing to

cheer myself and

everybody up before

I share my vision and

mission as to what

we can do in the

Greater Bay Area.

Sighing.

. PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

It's ironic. Protesters

outside are destroying

Hong Kong.

A MODERATOR (30) introduces Peter.

Grabbing his guitar, Peter goes up the stage. After a brief introduction, Peter sings his song: Do Good For You & Me.

Some count the beats for Peter. A round of applause.

PETER

I just want you all to

consider how I, and

other creative people,

can make money with

the results of their

intellectual effort.

Conference ends. Some LADIES and GENTLEMEN came up to Peter to engage him.

INT. DINNER RECEPTION - NIGHT

Eight round tables of GUESTS. A HOST (60) suggests: Let's ask Peter to teach us to sing his song.

Peter takes center stage:The lyrics are:"..Let's get together, ...Laughter makes us better...Sing for love and peace...Do good for you and me!"

Having played the introductory guitar riffs, Peter leads the singing. Some follow Peter and some lip-sing.

PETER

...Do good for you and me.

Do good for you and me!

Happy faces. A round of applause.

PETER (V.O.)

Singing is action, impacting

on our emotions and mood

right away.

Peter looks happy too.

PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)

I made the right decision

to bring the guitar. Or my

engagement would be

boring.

INT. MTR STATION - NIGHT

Peter stops in front of an advertising poster. We see a guitarist in a monk's outfit.

PETER (V.O.)

I don't know him, but

the fusion makes a

difference. We've

something in common.

Peter takes a selfie, incidentally including some parts of the poster.

PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd)

I'm not just a Singer-

Song Writer, but also

a Singer-Song Speaker.

Let me maintain my

unique style!

Peter exits with a smile.

FADE OUT. The End
