FADE IN
Act 1
INT. BEDROOM - 12:00
Sitting up in bed, PETER is in thoughts.
PETER (V.O.): Today is 15th day of the Chinese New Year and also the Lantern Festival.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd): Of the songs that I've composed, "Lantern Festival" has been one of my favourites.
Having mined the song in his YouTube channel, Peter watches it.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd): It's good. Let me share it to all again.
Copying the link, Peter sends it to friends and chatgroups and posts it on Facebook.
PETER (V.O.)(Cont'd): Some might have missed it or have forgotten about it.
Peter sees his WIFE waking up.
PETER: Have you slept enough?
Act 2
INT. DINING ROOM - 12:30
Sitting opposite to each other, Peter chats with his wife over brunch.
PETER: It's happy surprise that our trip to Busan has ended up with many follow-up actions.
WIFE: Our elder daughter and our son-in-law-to-be have begun looking for an appropriate wedding banquet venue in Busan...
Pausing.
WIFE (Cont'd): They've just got a year to plan and do.
PETER: For the wedding banquet to be held in Hong Kong, we've ample time...
WIFE: While some relatives and friends in Seoul would like to join the Hong Kong one, some relatives and friends in Hong Kong may join the Busan one.
PETER: Although the Busan rituals would be brief, my suggestion of a side trip to watch Sakura blossoms afterwards should make the adventure full.
WIFE: Yes. Moreover, some very supportive relatives and friends may like to join both.
As they look dreamy, Peter grabs his mobile to research.
PETER: There's an e-platform allowing easy comparison of possible venues.
They both look excited.
WIFE: The appropriate venue should be in the tourist district, with harbour view...
WIFE (Cont'd): And food must be delicious - our elder daughter's requirement!
Peter goes to sit with his wife, and they study the results together.
PETER: It seems that there're many good options.
Peter's wife jots down the preferred ones.
WIFE: I like the one at the top of the list. It appears distinctly different.
PETER: Would it be too early for us to make a booking? We've to pay a deposit... and it might close down...
WIFE: Let me check its background.
Peter's wife grabs her laptop to research.
WIFE: The owner is a public-listed company...
PETER: Let me check the company's performance.
Having checked, Peter looks shocked.
PETER (Cont'd): It's current stock price is $0.055/share, or for every HK$100 invested in the company, a shareholder has lost 99.84%.
WIFE: Forget about this one then.
PETER: I like the second one on your list. I've been there a few times.
WIFE: Let me check the reviews.
PETER: It's always the case some like it and some don't. I think it should fit for our purpose.
WIFE: I can't find any recent reviews...Oh, it has already closed business!
PETER: OMG! Let's explore trustworthy ones then.
We see Peter and his wife earnestly focusing on the laptop screen.
PETER (Cont'd): I think this familiar one is really good.
WIFE: I agree. What's the contact telephone no?
We see and hear Peter's wife talking to somebody over the phone.
PETER (V.O.): She can't wait to make our dreams come true.
WIFE (to phone): The banquet team won't be on duty until Monday?...Okay, ask them to return my call....
Act 3
INT. BEDROOM - 23:00
Peter inserts an AI drawing entitled "Lantern Dreams" to a text.
PETER (V.O): By sharing my "Lantern Festival" song, I reckon my Chinese heritage and have the desire to spread the festive mood in my way.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): For important decisions, I always work with my wife, as shared experience and wisdom lead to better outcomes.
Pausing.
PETER (V.O) (Cont'd): While the Lantern Festival is symbol of illumination and new beginnings, my wife and I actively work towards creating a brighter future for ourselves and our loved ones.
FADE OUT
