HUANG LO:
FILM STAR
WRITTEN BY:
N. LING
EXT. LO HOUSE-MORNING
We see the paperboy throw the newspaper outside the one-story house in South Hollywood, California. This house looks like a comfortable place to live for a family.
A man appears as he opens the front door. Not happy, not unhappy. This is just a regular day for him.
The man appears to be Asian. The man’s name is ANDREW LO.
Andrew is in his late thirties. He has an average body with a beer belly sticking out underneath his shirt. Andrew’s looks is below average. He is balding but he combs the side of his hair over the top so that it would look better.
Andrew is wearing a short sleeved dress shirt tucked in his light blue jeans, with a belt, and brown dress shoes. It is obvious that Andrew does not have a good sense of style.
He gets inside the car and starts the engine.
INT. LO HOUSE-MORNING
HUANG LO, a cute Asian ten year old boy is walking out of his room rubbing his eyes.
INT. LO HOUSE, LIVING ROOM-MORNING
Huang turns on the television and sits in front of it like a pretzel. He is watching television emotionless.
MING LO, Huang’s mom and Andrew’s wife walks into the living room. She is in her late thirties too has a skinny figure and her looks too is below average. She also has a light Asian accent
MING
Huang. Huang.
Huang is not responding.
MING
(creaming. cont’d)
Huang!
Huang turns around quickly in fear.
MING
(cont’d)
Me and your Ba are going
to the grocery store. You
better study for that math
test. I will beat the fucking
shit out of you. You hear!
Huang nods yes, quickly.
MING
(cont’d)
You better. Or else I’ll
Buddhist Palm you boy!
Huang looks at his mother with fear. Ming gives Huang the deaths stare and walks away. The door makes a sound as it closes. Huang gets up and sits on the couch. While he is sitting down, he accidently sits in the remote.
The channel that Huang was watching switches to another channel. PORN.
Huang widens his eyes and watches in shock.
ON THE TELEVISION
A beautiful young early twenties FEMALE PORN STAR is having sex with an early thirties MALE PORN STAR.
The two porn stars are having sex in doggy style position.
FEMALE PORN STAR
Yeah. You’re gonna make me
your dirty whore?
The female porn star is being straddled by the male porn star.
ANGLE ON MALE PORN STAR
MALE PORN STAR
Yeah. You’re great fucking!
INT. LO HOUSE, LIVING ROOM
Huang continues watching. He is enjoying it. Huang turns his head sideways.
ON THE TELEVISION
The male porn star continues to straddle the female porn star.
MALE PORN STAR
Fuck! I’m cumming!
FEMALE PORN STAR
Yeah! Cum on me!
INT. LO HOUSE, LIVING ROOM-LATER
Huang extends his head more towards the television. The sound of the porn film can still be heard.
MALE PORN STAR
Here it comes!
Huang watches intensely.
MALE PORN STAR
(screaming)
Ah…ah. Aargh!
Huang flinches in shock.
CUT TO
EXT. LO HOUSE-SIX YEARS LATER
We are again looking at the outside of the house. Both Andrew and Ming are both getting in the car while Huang is at the front door.
MING
We’ll be back in an hour.
Do you know what to do
when we are gone?
Huang now older and attractive in a way answers his mom.
HUANG
Yeah, study. I will.
Ming nods her head and gets in the car closing the door behind her.
Huang quickly runs inside the house because he is excited for the fun afternoon that he is going to have.
INT: LO HOUSE, LIVING ROOM-AFTERNOON
Huang turns on the television and sits in front of the television.
On the television, it says SLUTTY EXPOSED TEENS 17.
Huang is watching the porn with excitement.
There is loud moaning coming from the television.
Huang quickly unbuckles his belt and pulls down his pants. Moaning is heard from the television and Huang is masturbating.
Suddenly, Andrew comes walking into the living room. Andrew sees what is Huang doing and jumps in shock.
Huang looks at his dad.
HUANG
Oh shit!
Huang surprised by his dad and kicks his leg to pull his pants up. Huang accidently kicks the television causing the television to fall backwards and explodes.
CHAIN OF EVENTS AFTER TELEVISION FALLS
-The television knocks a stand causing an expensive vase to break.
-The stand also knocks over a glass stand of expensive crystals causing the crystals and the stand to shatter.
-The water from the vase spreads to the computer causing the wire to make sparks and short circuits them.
Andrew looks around at the damage caused by Huang. Huang looks at his dad wondering what Andrew is going to do with him. Andrew looks ant Huang.
ANDREW
You broke about five-
hundred dollars worth
of stuff.
Huang looks at Andrew with fear.
Andrew
(cont’d)
And, you not studying!
You can pay for this…
WITH YOUR BLOOD!
Andrew grabs a wooden rolling pin and walks over to Huang. Huang is backing up.
HUANG
Wait! Dad, I can explain.
ANDREW
No, you can’t. Not even
Buddha is going to protect
you from what I’m going
to do to you. I’m going to
go hardcore on you mutha
fucka! You are going to
wish that you were a
white boy!
HUANG
No!
Andrew swings at the camera.
CUT TO
INT. LO HOUSE, DINING ROOM-EVENING. PRESENT DAY
Huang is now much more mature now and is more attractive.
Huang is sitting at a table with his parents and his best friend WILLIAM SMITH.
William is a Caucasian man who is the same age as Huang.
There are Asian dishes across the table with each person having their own bowl of rice and have chopsticks in their hand except William.
WILLIAM
Congrats on finishing
college.
HUANG
Thanks man.
Huang’s parents are both happy and excited about Huang finishing college.
MING
(talking to William)
What are you going to
do now that you have
finished college?
WILLIAM
Well, I got an internship
at the new hospital that
opened up.
MING
That’s great.
William eats his food.
MING
(talking to Huang)
What about you Huang?
Huang hesitates to answer the question.
HUANG
Well. I passed all of
my medical classes.
ANDREW
That’s great son.
MING
Well are you going to
take the same internship as
William?
William stops eating and looks at Huang. Huang looks around the table and sighs. Huang looks down because he does not want to look at his parent’s reactions.
HUANG
No.
Andrew and Ming both look at each other surprised.
MING
What!? You had good grades
in all of your classes.
Why aren’t you going to
be a doctor?
ANDREW
Maybe a surgeon?
HUANG
No.
Andrew eats his rice. Ming looks furious.
MING
Then what are you
going to do?
HUANG
Well. I want to.
MING
(slams on the table)
Just say it!
HUANG
I want to be a porn
star!
Andrew stops eating his rice and starts choking. Ming and William go to help Andrew. Andrew’s face is beet red and is gasping for air. William and Ming are both patting on Andrew’s back.
Huang looks on as they help Andrew.
Andrew stops choking and Ming and William both back up.
ANDREW
(talking to Huang)
Wait, wait, wait. You
said a Porn Star?
Huang nods his head.
ANDREW
You mean that you are
going to be a fuck star
fucking in a fuck film?
HUANG
Well… Yeah.
MING
What! Why would you
want to be a porn star?
HUANG
I can’t explain it. It’s
my passion. I’ve been
thinking about this for a long
time now and it is a decision that
I am going to make. You and dad
can’t change my mind because
this is my true calling. And
no one can’t stop it.
MING
(calm)
Well if you put it that
way.
Ming quickly jumps on the table and crawls to Huang. Ming is strangling Huang. Both William and Andrew are trying to pull Ming off of Huang. Huang pushes Ming off of him.
Huang stands up and everybody looks at him.
Huang fixes his shirt.
HUANG
(talking to Ming)
Look. I’ve been doing
what you and dad told
me to do for all my life.
You guys beat me and
threatened me all my life
and I didn’t say anything.
I studied and got good
grades just for you guys.
I make one decision that
I’m sure of and I thought
that you would give me at
least a little bit of support.
But no, I did everything you
guys asked for and you guys
still won’t support me. I… I
can’t do this anymore.
Huang leaves.
EXT. LO HOUSE-EVENING
Huang leaves his house furiously and goes to sit of the curve. Huang puts is head between his legs.
EXT. STREET-EVENING
A light comes forward. Huang looks up to see where the light is coming from. It appears to be a nice black car.
JILL PAVIL, very pretty, is sitting in the back seat of the car.
Huang notices her and is dumbfounded because of her beauty. Jill notices Huang and smiles at him. Huang waves as the car leaves him.
William comes out of the front door.
WILLIAM
Huang!
Huang is not responding because he is still thinking about that woman.
WILLIAM
Huang! Huang!
Huang snaps out of it and notices William.
HUANG
What’s up.
WILLIAM
Didn’t you hear me
saying your name?
HUANG
No.
WILLIAM
Well anyways. You could
sleep over my house. You
know, after what happened
in there.
HUANG
Yeah… Yeah!
WILLIAM
Are you alright?
HUANG
Yeah. Just a little
distracted. That’s all.
WILLIAM
Cool. Well you better
just your things.
Huang smiles and nods his head. Huang walks back inside the house to get his things.
INT. LO HOUSE, HALLWAY
Huang sees his parents standing in the middle of the hallway with packed bags.
MING
We’re kicking you out.
HUANG
I know.
Andrew
No you don’t. As of
now, we don’t have a
son anymore.
HUANG
What?
ANDREW
You heard me. We are
disowning you.
HUANG
But.
MING
Leave!
HUANG
Okay.
Huang grabs his bags. Both Andrew and Ming stare at Huang, standing their ground. As Huang turns around to leave through the front door, we see that he is extremely sad and is starting to cry.
EXT. LO HOUSE
Huang leaves his house. He walks to William’s car as it is parked in the driveway.
WILLIAM
Got everything?
HUANG
Yeah.
As William’s car passes by Andrew and Ming’s house, Huang takes one final look at it. Huang knows that he would never go back to that house ever again.
ESTABLISHING SHOT
INT. CAR
William is driving.
WILLIAM
So. Tough night.
HUANG
Yeah.
WILLIAM
What are you going to
do now?
HUANG
They kicked me out of
the house for good now.
So, I guess that I will
have to look for a place
to live.
WILLIAM
Well, you can stay at my place
for as long as you want.
HUANG
Thanks.
WILLIAM
Are you serious?
Huang does not know what William is talking about.
WILLIAM
(cont’d)
About the porn thing?
HUANG
Yeah. It’s like
something that I can
see myself doing, you
know?
WILLIAM
If you’re sure.
Huang looks disappointed by William’s comment.
WILLIAM
(cont’d)
Don’t get yourself down.
Everything’s going to be
good from now.
INT. OFFICE BUILDING- DAY. FIVE MONTHS LATER
Huang is walking out of someone’s office, closing the door behind him. Unsuccessful.
EXT. APARTMENT COMPLEX-DAY
We reveal an ordinary apartment complex in North Hollywood, California. There is nothing wrong with it. It is usually fit for two people.
INT. WILLIAM’S APARTMENT
Huang comes into the apartment, closing the door behind him.
INT. WILLIAM’S APARTMENT, LIVING ROOM
Huang enters the living room and we see William on the couch holding a bong. William sees Huang and blows smoke out of his mouth.
HUANG
Don’t you have work today?
WILLIAM
Nah bro. I’m on my
break.
HUANG
Don’t you have
to get back to work
sober after your break?
WILLIAM
No need to. Today’s
a slow day anyways.
William’s cell phone begins to ring.
WILLIAM
Hello?
Another DOCTOR is talking to William from his phone.
DOCTOR
(speaker phone is on)
Where the fuck are you?
There’s blood everywhere!
(crying)
Christ man. I can’t do it
alone!
A loud inhuman scream comes from the phone.
DOCTOR
(cont’d)
(scared)
Get away from me!
There are loud shrieks of terror coming out of William’s phone.
DOCTOR
(cont’d)
No!
William cold-heartily hangs up. Huang gives William a look.
WILLIAM
(casually)
The interns could take care
of it. So, how’d it go?
HUANG
Not so well.
WILLIAM
What? Why not?
HUANG
I wasn’t what they were
looking for.
WILLIAM
What? I would love to see
your hot bare-naked
body in front of the screen
fucking.
HUANG
Yeah, well not the casting
directors.
William starts rubbing Huang’s back.
WILLIAM
Don’t worry. Things are
going to look better.
William starts to work his way to Huang’s chest.
HUANG
I don’t know. Maybe Ming
and Andrew were right.
William puts his finger on Huang’s lips.
WILLIAM
(whispering)
Shh. Don’t say that
Huang looks at William confused.
WILLIAM
You listen to me.
You are a great guy with
a hot bod and great looks.
Anyone would be stupid not
to have you.
William takes his finger of Huang’s lips.
HUANG
But.
William puts his finger on Huang’s mouth again.
WILLIAM
Shh. Don’t say anything.
Huang nods his head and William takes his finger off of Huang’s lips.
WILLIAM
(Cont’d)
Well, I better get to work.
Remember, you are a beautiful
man with many talents.
William walks out the door to go to work.
Huang is sitting on the couch wondering about what just happened.
HUANG
Okay.
CUT TO
EXT. BEACH- DAY
Huang is running across the beach. This is what he usually does to spend the rest of his day.
A CRIMINAL just robbed DENISE RICHARDSON. Huang sees this.
DENISE
Help! Someone just robbed
me!
Huang runs towards Denise.
HUANG
Don’t worry, I got it!
Huang runs after the criminal. Huang quickly catches up to the criminal and tackles him to the ground. Huang is on top of the criminal and the criminal punches Huang in the face. Huang falls back and the criminal begins to crawl to escape. Huang grabs the criminal’s ankle and pulls him back. Huang then punches the criminal in the testicles and the criminal grabs his testicles, letting go of the bag.
CRIMINAL
Ow, my baby maker!
Two POLICE OFFICERS quickly come to the scene. The police officers then arrest the criminal.
POLICE OFFICER #1
(Talking to Huang)
Nice work kid.
Police officer #1 pats Huang on the back.
Huang smiles and nods his head as Police officer #1 walks away.
Denise runs toward Huang and Huang gives Denise her bag.
DENISE
Thank you so much.
HUANG
No problem.
DENISE
There has to be a way
where I can repay you.
HUANG
You don’t have to.
DENISE
I must. Let me introduce
myself. I am Denise Richardson,
(cont’d)
casting director for porn and
agent.
An idea comes to Huang’s head.
HUANG
Well, there is something you
can do.
DENISE
(nicely)
What is it?
HUANG
Can you get me a part in the
film that you are working on?
DENISE
Of course! I can have you as
an extra.
HUANG
No, I mean a part where I can
have a starring role.
DENISE
(surprised)
Oh, well, of course. Why not?
Denise looks at Huang. She moves her head up and down. She then looks at where his crouch is.
DENISE
(cont’d)
Can you turn around?
HUANG
Sure.
Huang turns around. Denise looks at Huang’s butt.
DENISE
Yeah.
HUANG
So, I got the part.
DENISE
Yup.
HUANG
(happy)
Yes!
DENISE
(hands a card)
Here’s my card. Call if
you need me.

Yeah, thank you!
Denise smiles and walks away. Huang looks at the card with excitement.

Congratulations man! We

INT. NIGHTCLUB-NIGHT
Huang and William both turnaround from the bar after they get their beers.
