A Rare Love Story:
Â
A BUSY STREET IN NEW YORK CITY – DAY
We see the bustling streets of New York City, with people going about their day. We focus in on two individuals walking in opposite directions.
We see JASON, a successful businessman in his late 20s, walking briskly down the street in a suit and tie. He is focused and determined, with a no-nonsense attitude.
We see LILI, a street performer in her early 20s, dancing and playing the violin on the sidewalk. She is free-spirited and carefree, with a bright smile on her face.
As Jason and Lili cross paths, they make brief eye contact. It’s clear that there is a spark of attraction between them.
JASON (voiceover) I saw her and it was like nothing else mattered. It was like my whole life had led up to that moment.
LILI (voiceover) He was the last person I expected to catch my eye, but something about him just drew me in.
Â
JASON’S OFFICE – DAY
We see Jason sitting at his desk, staring off into space, lost in thought.
JASON (voiceover) I couldn’t shake her from my mind. I knew I had to see her again.
Â
LILI’S ART STUDIO – DAY
We see Lili sitting at a easel, painting. She has a look of determination on her face as she works on her painting.
LILI (voiceover) I knew I had to see him again. I knew that our paths crossing like that couldn’t be a coincidence.
Â
A BUSY STREET IN NEW YORK CITY – DAY
We see Jason and Lili meeting again on the street. They approach each other with a sense of excitement and nervousness.
JASON Hi, I’m Jason.
LILI Hi, I’m Lili.
JASON I know this is going to sound crazy, but I feel like I’m meant to know you.
LILI (smiling) I know what you mean.
 A BUSY STREET IN NEW YORK CITY – DAY
We see Jason and Lili walking together, talking and laughing. They are clearly falling in love.
JASON (voiceover) It was like we were meant to be together. But I knew it wouldn’t be easy. Our worlds were so different.

Meeting and Falling in Love
 A BEAUTIFUL PARK – DAY
We see JASON and LILI sitting on a park bench, enjoying each other’s company. They are laughing and joking, clearly happy to be together.
JASON I can’t believe how much we have in common.
LILI I know, it’s crazy. I never thought someone like you would understand me.
JASON Someone like me? What do you mean?
LILI (hesitantly) Just, you know, a businessman. And me, a street performer.
JASON (smiling) That’s what makes us special. We’re different, but we make it work.
LILI (smiling) I love that about us.
They lean in for a kiss, and the camera lingers on their faces as they share an intimate moment.

LILI’S ART STUDIO – DAY
We see Lili showing Jason her paintings. He is impressed by her talent and creativity.
JASON These are amazing, Lili. I had no idea you were such a talented artist.
LILI (laughing) I’m glad you think so. I’ve always loved painting, but I never thought it could be more than just a hobby.
JASON You should show these to a gallery. I know a few people who might be interested.
LILI (hesitantly) Really? You think so?
JASON (nodding) Absolutely. You have real talent, Lili. I want to help you succeed.
They embrace and the camera lingers on their faces as they share another intimate moment.

 JASON’S OFFICE – DAY
We see Jason working late at the office. Lili surprises him by bringing him takeout food.
JASON (smiling) Lili, you didn’t have to do this.
LILI (smiling) I know, but I wanted to. I know how hard you work.
JASON (laughing) You’re too good to me.
LILI (playfully) I’m just getting started.
They share a kiss and the camera lingers on their faces as they share a moment of #love and #affection.

Challenges and Obstacles
JASON’S OFFICE – DAY
We see JASON walking out of his office building, looking defeated. He is on the phone and we hear snippets of the conversation.
JASON (on phone) I understand, but I just can’t agree to that…I’ll have to talk to Lili…
He hangs up the phone and looks up to see LILI waiting for him on the curb. She can tell something is wrong.
LILI Jason, what’s wrong?
JASON (sighing) That was the board of directors. They’re not happy with my decision to invest in Lili’s art gallery. They think it’s a waste of company resources.
LILI (concerned) What are they going to do?
JASON (hesitantly) They want me to choose between the company and our relationship.
LILI (shocked) What? That’s not fair.
JASON (nodding) I know, but I won’t let them come between us. We’ll figure something out.
LILI (determined) Yes, we will.

INT. JASON’S OFFICE – DAY
We see JASON sitting at his desk, looking over paperwork. LILI enters the room and sits across from him.
LILI (hesitantly) Jason, I’ve been thinking. Maybe it’s best if I step away from the gallery. I don’t want to be the reason you lose your job.
JASON (shaking his head) No, Lili. I won’t let them control us like that. We’ll find another way.
LILI (nodding) Okay. But it’s not just that. My parents don’t approve of our relationship. They think you’re not good enough for me.
JASON (sighing) I know it’s hard, Lili. But we can’t let other people’s opinions control us. We love each other, and that’s all that matters.
LILI (smiling) You’re right. I love you, Jason.
JASON (smiling) I love you too, Lili.

JASON (clearly) I understand your concerns, but I believe in Lili and her art. I won’t let my relationship with her come between my job and my company. But I also will not let the company come between my relationship with Lili.
