Script
Theater Resting Area
You: ...Anyway, I don't think it's a bad movie, but it's no Sci-fi masterpiece for sure.
Artem: I agree.
In the theater lounge, Artem and you are talking about the movie you just watched together.
The Stellis film festival has just started, and you were watching one of the most highly-rated sci-fi films.
Unfortunately, the film is far from what you expected.
Artem: But Time Travel is a classic theme in science fiction. It's no easy feat to make it stand out amongst the rest of its kind.
Hearing him say that, you suddenly think of another film with the same settings.
You: There are many great works about time travel. For example, About Time. A movie dating back more than ten years ago.
You: But that's more of a romantic movie. You've probably not seen it, Mr. Wing.
Yes. That film might be labeled as a science fiction, but it is more of a romance film.
It's about the male protagonist, Tim, trying to use his time-traveling power to find a girlfriend. Until, finally, he won Mary's heart over.
It also talks about Tim and his family's past. It is a film that emotionally wins over the audience.
You remember that Artem prefers science fiction films, so he probably rarely watches films like this, but you still want to give him a recommendation.
Artem: I've watched it before. It's good.
Artem's answer is a little unexpected.
You: Oh? Although the male protagonist can travel through time, the film has many more everyday elements than the sci-fi ones. I didn't think you would watch this film...
Artem: Yes, this film is an exception.
Artem: I'd prefer to call it "superpower" than science fiction. Its main purpose is to drive the story.
Artem: Although it is a romantic film, the director has a good grasp of its pace and mood. Not to mention, it's captivating.
Artem: Of course, I also agree with the idea it wants to convey.
Artem analyzes the film very seriously. you can see that he has a profound understanding of it.
It must have an extraordinary place in Artem's heart for him to praise it so much.
You: Sounds like you like About Time.
Artem: Yes, I love it.
Artem: It's... one of my favorite movies.
You are a little relieved to get his affirmative reply.
You: (Now I know what to do for Artem's birthday!)
Artem's birthday is on the 26th of April, which is coming soon.
You got the date from Celestine while chatting with her. She even told you to mention her as your partner in this plan.
Artem has been looking after you since you entered the law firm. So even without Celestine's reminder, you would've been prepared to celebrate his birthday.
But you didn't know what to do before until now, prompted by this conversation with Artem.
You: (If I recreate a scene from the movie to celebrate his birthday, that will surely be very memorable for the famous movie critic Mr. Mockingbird.)
A plan is shaping up in your mind.
Artem: What are you thinking about? Why are you in a daze?
You: Oh, nothing! I just...
You: I like the movie, and you happen to like it too. It's great!
The birthday surprise must be kept secret until the last minute. You can't spoil it now.
Artem: Does that make you happy?
Artem looks calm as usual. Looks like he bought it.
You: Well, of course. Liking the same film as you shows that we understand each other as partners!
Artem: Yes. You're right.
You: Mr. Wing, let's talk about the film in detail.
Artem: Okay.
Artem must be oblivious to the birthday plan you have for him.
You: (I am so looking forward to Artem's reaction when he sees the surprise. I bet it'll be special!)
Film Museum
A few days later, at the film museum.
Staff: Sorry, Miss. The museum's filming studio will not be available for bookings during the festival.
You want to use the film museum's studio to recreate a classic scene in About Time for Artem's birthday.
But it's not working out in your favor...
You: But I really need it. Is there any other way?
Staff: If you need to use it urgently, perhaps you can be a volunteer for this festival.
You: Eh?
Staff: During the festival, the museum needs a lot of help. By volunteering, you can earn volunteer points.
She takes out a brochure and hands it to you.
Staff: Volunteer points can be exchanged for the right to use the studio. They can also be exchanged for special props from the museum.
Staff: For you to rent the studio, I suppose you want to use the set for a shoot. If so, then those props may come in handy.
The staff points out the special props listed in the brochure.
From old cars and furniture to gyroscopes and old-fashioned luggage... They're all props often seen in classic movies.
You: Are all these props original?
You thought it'd take a lot of points to exchange for the studio, but it was actually the easiest one to get.
But a lot of those special items are very expensive.
Staff: Some of them are original, but most are replicas.
You: Oh! You also have the window scene from About Time!?
Staff: You're right. Although it is a replica, it is exactly the same as the original.
You: (Not only can I rent the venue here, but I can even get the props I want. This is perfect!)
With this in mind, you agree straight away.
You: Okay. I'll sign up! What kind of work does it involve?
Staff: Welcome to the volunteering team. You only have to issue questionnaires this time.
Staff: As the organizers, we plan to write a review of the festival. And to do that, we need to collect the audience's feedback.
Staff: The feedbacks should include evaluations of the festival, the films, and our guest critics.
Staff: You should know that the curator insists the questionnaire be carried out offline and by interviews.
Staff: He thinks that only by interviews can we truly understand the audience, as well as show the museum's sincerity.
She gives you another list.
Staff: Here is a list of the audience who are willing to be interviewed. Please question them according to the list.
Staff: The final score is calculated according to the number of questionnaires completed.
You take the list confidently.
You: Got it. Leave it to me!
Staff: Volunteer points can be settled at any time. I wish you all the best in getting the studio.
