Face to Face Script

FACE TO FACE SCRIPT

﹡Tina [beginning]

Good afternoon, everybody. Thanks for coming to our final project presentation! We are students who are taking the Online English Learning class. We have developed the background and role-playing characters through the virtual world of Second Life and the story was adapted from a famous Hong Kong movie, Hail the Judge.

Here is today’s agenda.
First we will play the video. We will pause in the middle and play some games with you. After you watch the video, we will have a panel discussion about the content of the video. You can ask questions and we can share our experiences with you.

Before we watch the video, let us introduce ourselves.
Alright, let’s start!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

﹡Toy Boy [scene 4]


Q: What are they doing at that night? What is the relationship between Toy Boy and Seven Love?
A) Dating as a lover
B) Having a meal as friend
C) Playing toys like mother and son

D) Nothing happened

Chinese couplet is made up by a pair of lines of poetry that have certain rules. The two lines have a one-to-one correspondence in their metrical length, and each pair of characters must have certain corresponding properties. In addition, Chinese couplet usually has meanings correspond to the surroundings or the personality of the owner; therefore, one kind of writing skill "pun(雙關)" will be used in the two lines to add interest.
Actually, in this Chinese couplet, the riddle is hind in the left line. First of all, we need to understand this Chinese couplet should be writing for Smart Bao because he is the owner of the court. Second, "我認你再世父母" represents a Chinese culture that we thought the governor is like our countries' parents. However, "我認你再世父母" also correspond to the relationship between Toy Boy and Seven Love, Toy Boy thought Seven Love was his mother. So, I made the right line to complete their relationship. In brief, if you want to solve the riddle, you need to find out its double meaning.

﹡Wine Lady [scene 5]

riddle: 「酒中沒有水,簡直活見鬼。」
This is a traditional Chinese riddle.
the word 酒means wine.
Look at this Chinese character. The left part of the word means water.
If you take away水there will be no water in wine.
The second sentence, "just like seeing a ghost" means that, if there is no water in wine, it must be shocking and impossible, just like seeing a ghost.
Ghost is "鬼" in Chinese.
Look at the whole sentence and put 酉 and 鬼 together.
You see the Chinese character "醜", which means ugly.

﹡Sugar Mirror [scene 6]

Ok, now, let’s draw lots to decide the destiny of Always Powerful. Here are three sticks. 
Who want to draw first ?  [Providing the canister for drawing lots]

1.  家人 Jia Ren  (The family)

This divinatory symbol means its subject (treating) the members of the household with stern severity.  There will be occasion for repentance, and there will be peril.

2.   小畜 Xiao Chu (The Taming Power of the Small)
This divinatory symbol means of a husband and wife looking on each other with averted eyes. They don’t love each other anymore. They hate each other!!






3. 姤 Gou (Coming to Meet)
This symbol suggests a female who is bold and strong. It will not be good to marry (such) a female. If this kind of women gets married, the husband will be doomed to die early.

Ok, now, let’s see what’s going on next.

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

﹡方昭凱/Court Guard [in the end of scene 6]
Do you know the 8 Trigrams(八卦)The concept of it first comes from the book of changes. Originally the book was used by Chinese for divination, that is, to predict future and one’s fate. The book is also used to communicate with the ancient gods from another world.
The book has become the central structure of many Chinese philosophies and ideas. It is said that Confucius loved reading the Book of Changes in his late years. Well, the thoughts of Ying and Yang also came to Japan and even influenced their mythologies, such as describing the gods created the world as three gods and two of them could be considered the polar opposite of the other…… OK, I may go too far, but as a person who is desperate to prove the existence of gods, maybe the book of changes can help me achieve the goal?
﹡Tina [after Ken]
OK, stop murmuring, Ken. Do you know who the real murderer is? [Waiting his answer.] Well, I have no idea. Let’s keep on!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

﹡Caller 1 [scene 7, after the phone rings]

When the story line starts on this line
  “Ring ring ring”
  I will broadcast four short sound effects and ask international students which sound effect is right.
  After their guessing, I will give them the right answer. It’s the fourth sound effects coming from the movie “One Missed Call”, and explain why the ring is true.
  Why? Because Hang Over was dead before this scene. When Caller got the phone call, it was very strange and irrational. A dead cannot use their phone to call another living people. The only possibility is the phone call comes from the Hell. And the movie “One missed Call” is a story which is about a phone call coming from the Hell to revenge its addressee.

﹡Caller 2 [scene 7, the conversation between Caller and Always Powerful(Before Smart Bao say “Silence”)]

I will ask international students “Is Hang Over dead or not?” And point that the painting behind Smart Bao is a hint. (Because it suddenly changs when I ask the question). And then they can guess and I will explain after Hang Over coming in the court.
  In that painting is an Eastern flower whose name is Frangipani in English. Chinese name is緬梔花(學名:Plumeria obtusa). The language of this flower is hope and rebirth or born again. So it implies that Hang Over isn’t dead; he is alive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

﹡Hang Over [after the video is over]

Now I’m going to ask you a Chinese riddle
閻王爺寫作文 Yamaraja writes an essay
Yamaraja is a God who handle all the death
The answer is related to the evidence told by the witnesses
They all told lies, so we can say their evidence are nonsense.
