Okay, okay, when you think you kung fu movies, some of you are like... Why waste your time, or that's stupid. Well, my idea is great!
Please dont steal the idea
I will tell you my ideas and tell me what you think. Even give ideas, one mind is never better than mutltiple minds. Keep in mind, this script will talk about very poltical and controversial things from each country.
I have studie A LOT for this script in Chinese culture and history along with New yorks. I have watched fifteen Martial arts movies in preperation and have many more to go.
The Scenes alternate back and forth, but I just wrote them like this to make it easier to understand.
Main Characters: Aaron (New york)
Lei; Meaning Thunder (Chinese Village, Buddhists)
The Movie is split into three Acts: Takes place in present day.
Act I: Black and White:
Follows both and Aaron and Lei at a young age (Going back and forth as they age). Aaron lives in a orphanage, being a very disobedient child. Eventually he Runs away. He meets a group of kids who all depend on eachother, and whom on the streets stealing to live. At a young age, he learns to depend on himself, and free his mind from comformity. We watch as he grows in his teens, and becomes one of the leaders of the group of kids, now watching for younger newer kids. The group is eventually broken up after the police captures them and puts them in orphanges. Aaron, though, escapes. From here, he decides to get a job and starts to train in MMA to learn to fight. He learns to be obedient and respectful, but the mma place eventually closes down after the owner, the trainer, dies.
Lei, lives in a very religous village (Even though they dont use the word religion in China). At a young age he is taught the very strict ways of live in the village. Unlike other villages in the Country, they are blessed with a very beautiful land and a temple that was built decades before then. We follow Lei as he learns his jobs and place in his village. His village is his, is his family. He goes to school and learns. Eventually, people from a nearby village get jealous and begin to beat and steal from Leis village, though the village is pacifist so they do nothing. For years this happens. Then, A new man moves into the village by himself. He is a strange man, and seems to be a lone wolf. Eventually, Lei, now in his teens, finds out he is a martial artist, and one of the best in the world. He moved to the village to get away. The Man teaches Lei four different Fighting styles (I am renting a documentarie on the types of fighting styles and will choose which ones then) For a year and a half. While this happens, Lei falls in love, but the family moves away after the a famine rushes the area, and the nearby villagers take the rest. The school closes. Lei, very angry, fights the thieves the next time they come and defeats them. His parents make the man leave for teaching their son to fight, for they are pacifists. The man is never seen again. After this, We watch as the village falls apart piece by piece. First, his father dies, then his mother gets sick. Now that the thieves are gone, the village scrapes bye. His sister takes care of his mother, when he decides to leave the village to Beijing to collect money to revive his village.
At the end of the act, each character is 20.
ACT II: Black and White, with some color.
Aaron is now fired, and begins to work for a local thug-loan shark and gets a job retrieving money from those who dont pay. He is put in very dangerous situations. Still practicing in MMA everyday, as well as training in several other fighting techniques. He is a man of few words, and seems to be a tough guy, but is actally a very sweet man. He becomes friends with terminally ill kids from a small time hospital for people stricken with poverty. He brings them things, and talks with them, one of them reminds him of himself. Months goe bye and Aaron is well known by people around the area, especially one detective who hates his guts. Aaron, not making enough money to pay rent, begins to fight in underground streetfighting. Becoming the champ. More moths goe bye, and his fighting is par to none. Everyone is afraid to fight him ,so a gang tries to take his life but he lives, with minor injuries. After getting out of the hospital, he realizes the kid who reminded him on himself had died while he was in the hospital. Because of this, he quits the underground fighting. Then, His boss, the loan-shark. Asks him to kill an Asian woman who borrowed a large sum of money and never paid him back. His boss said he will give him 20 Thou if he does it. As Aaron goes to kill the woman, he realizes she has a child and that she needed the money to pay for a hospital bill. They end up falling in love. The loan-shark, now very upset, goes after Aaron. Aaron kills him along with a few of his pals, with help from the detective! From here, he finds out that the hospitla will close unless they come up with money. He is put under a lot of stress.
Lei makes it Beijing and finds a job as a janitor. He works his ass off to make nothing. Lei deicdes to join a tournament that if he wins, he will recieve some dough. But because He is not apart of a clan or group he cannot compete. He goes to a Clan where fighters learn and train. They refuse to train him, saying he is not worthy. He offers to fight the best guy on the team, they except, and he wins. The trainer, a very old men, sees his potential, and notices a move he learned from the Man in his village. A trade mark move only the man knew. The Trainer knows this man, and confronts him. Lei quits his job and moves into the Clan building and is personaly trained by the trainer. He meets an American woman and has a child. A boy. Lei competes in small tournaments to build his rep and earns money to send home, yet his mother is getting sicker and sicker everyday. Him and his wife visit his village, which is worse then ever. Once, a crowded beautiful place, is now an empty memory. Only a few dozen people living there. The ones to poor to move.
Once returning Lei decides that he must find a way to save his mom and the village. His mother is upset he married an American Woman aswell. His wife gets pregnant again ,this time a girl. But because of the one child law, she refuses to give it up and suggests they move to America. He denies and says he will find a way.
Both, Aaron and Lei hear a tournament that takes place every Ten years. The winner earning 2 million dollars. Only 50 fighters can compete. And only citizens from specific countries are allowed to compete. It takes place in China. And American is one those allowed countries. Their is a tournament they must win in order to make into the Major Tourney, but in order for them to be allowed into the Minor Tourney, the must pass a series of tests and the top fourteen scorers are allowed. Both Fighters pass the tests in their country and win the 3 fight Minor Tourney and they both win.
Both Characters are now: 23
ACT III: All Color
Here, Aaron gets a Chinese man, sent from the Tournament leaders, to help him while traveling to China. The man is very funny. Aaron make it to China, his girlfriend staying behind, and stays in a very nice hotel.
Lei also is in a nice hotel, But because he is from China, he doesn't need a guide.
They both compete in the tournament on fight after another. More conflicts happen during this, that I have not yet to come up with. But they fight their hearts out until the time comes... Where they must fight eachother, the first time every meeting. The Crowd will be split between who they will want to win, since both characters are written to be very likeable, and both having tragic history, and strong reasons to fight. But they fight. The idea: There are no Heros, there are no villains. Only Us.
The reason I do the Black and white in the begginning and Color towards the end is to show how the older you get, the more the past feels like a dream.
