FADE IN.
INT. SLEEPING ROOM - DAY
IPadmini in hand, Peter taps the iMovie icon and begins to edit a film.
PETER (V.O.)
I've done the audio.
Let me use the
captured moments
in Hokkaido in early
February as the video.
Peter focuses on his editing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I was in Chitose,
Sapporo, Otaru and
then back in Sapporo
and Chitose. Let me
follow that sequence.
Checking the re-edited film.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I flew from New Chitose
to Haneda. Bought
something at Ashibara
before going to Narita.
But I was so busy that
I didn't have the time
to shoot any video
until I boarded my
homeward bound flight.
Reflecting.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Although it was my
early February trip,
it seemed a long time.
A lot of things have
happened because
of the COVID-19.
Reflecting.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
And personally, a
disputant hired a
killer to take my
life and harm my
family if I decided
the dispute not in
the disputant's favour.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
I've done what I've to
do to strike back. To
let wicked bother me
is stupid.
Finishing his draft, Peter renames the music video as: "Cupid".
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
As the music-video is
meant to celebrate
Valentine's Day, the
ending shot should be
a bunch of red roses.
INT. SUPERMARKET - DAY
Floral section. Selecting a rose bouquet, Peter looks pleased.
PETER (V.O.)
My wife expects to get
it - and a little thing I
do once in a year.
INT. BATHROOM - DAY
After taking a shot of the rose bouquet with his iPadmini, Peter re-edits Cupid.
PETER (V.O.)
Done!
INT. SITTING ROOM - DAY
iPadmini in hand, Peter taps the screen to upload and share his music video "Cupid".
PETER (V.O.)
Many are home-
working these days.
They should get
something to cheer
them up.
Checking his chat groups on screen, Peter begins to see some thumbs up icons.
INT. SEASIDE RESTAURANT - NIGHT
As Peter, his WIFE and KAJI , their pet, are having dinner; Peter is still having screen time.
PETER (V.O.)
Oh, here's the latest
notification of the
University Council
meeting. The Secretariat
worked until the
evening and wishing
everyone a nice
weekend.
Thinking.
PETER (V.O.) (Cont'd)
Let me reply in noting
the notice and including
my Valentine music-
video to cheer people
up!
After taping his phone screen a couple of times, Peter looks pleased. Then we see and hear Peter's song: Cupid.
PS
CUPID
(Translation of the Cantonese Lyrics)
(Verse)
"How much love," ask I.
"have I sowed?"
"Counting it," says Sky.
"I'd turn old."
(Pre-chorus)
"Way too much!"
(We hear just guitar riffs.)
(Chorus)
Romantic lovers
- a story told.
Love is stronger
Than gold.
There's no rule -
to do anything to please me,
if your heart stays true
to me.
Loving each other
isn't bargaining.
Feeling your partner
You can't help falling...
Love Cupid is...
the most blessed -
firing as many arrows
as he pleases!
Peter smiles like an old cupid without wings.
PETER (V.O.)
I fire arrows of love to people fairly.
FADE OUT.
The End
