Grace Unplugged Page #4

Synopsis: Grace Unplugged is an Inspirational movie starring Amanda "AJ" Michalka as 18 year old Christian singer/songwriter, Grace Rose Trey. Beautiful, highly talented and restless, Grace is so far undiscovered outside church. She performs there each Sunday with her gifted father Johnny, the praise music director at Freedom Community Chapel, a small town Alabama church. A former rock star, Johnny Trey charted a Billboard number one single 20 years before. When the hits stopped coming he crash landed hard, a one hit wonder. Johnny found Christ and a new life for his family, far from the Hollywood Hills. One day without warning, Grace leaves for Los Angeles. She has landed a record deal with the help of Johnny's ruthless former manager and producer Frank "Mossy" Mostin. Mossy sees in Grace a potential pop superstar - the next Katy Perry. Cutting off contact with her parents, Grace seems prepared to walk away from her Christian faith and music to achieve her long-suppressed fantasy of Hollywood s

All the things

you thought I should be

I guess I'm not like you

Not something you're used to

Maybe something brand new

you've never seen

Wish I could read your mind

Come on, let me inside

I'll never waste your time

Misunderstood

Wish you could somehow see

that I will always be

All that you want from me

I got your letter

Telling me who's to blame

Do you feel better

Causing me pain?

So much pain

I'm sorry I'm not all

the things that you want

(CROWD CHEERING)

All the things that

you thought I should be

I guess I'm not like you

Not something you're used to

Maybe something brand new

you've never seen

Yeah, come on!

Wish I could read your mind

Come on, let me inside

I'll never waste your time

Misunderstood

Wish you could somehow see

that I will always be

All that you want from me

Misunderstood

It's my time,

it's my turn and I'm ready

But I need to make this

on my own

You're not right,

I'm not wrong so just let me

Go

(CHEERING INDISTINCTLY)

I'm sorry I'm not

all the things that you want

All the things that

you thought I should be

Wish I could read your mind

Come on, let me inside

(INAUDIBLE)

I'll never waste your time

Misunderstood

Wish you could somehow see

that I will always be

All that you want from me

You've gotta let it

You, you've gotta let it go

You've gotta let it

You, you've gotta let it go

You, you've gotta let it go

(CHEERING INDISTINCTLY)

Under the surface

We're all the same

(CHEERING INDISTINCTLY)

Oh. my gosh!

Larry Reynolds said for me to

call him tomorrow morning.

- Are you serious?

- Settle down, we don't have a deal yet,

but he said to call

him in the morning.

Trust me,

you blew Sapphire Music away.

(SQUEALS) I was so nervous.

I was really nervous.

You did great and you

have to remember

that you absolutely crushed it.

Oh, my gosh. This is incredible!

I don't want to leave, Mossy.

Don't leave.

Go enjoy your new fans.

I've gotta talk to Marketing anyways.

- Listen to me. I'm proud of you.

- Yeah?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

You rocked it.

Oh, thank you! Thanks!

- WOMAN:
That was great!

- Thank you so much.

You guys, that was incredible.

Oh, thanks, man.

You were awesome.

Thanks.

If you ever need a band,

we're your guys.

- Wait, you would do that?

- Absolutely.

I'd love that. You have

no idea how good at...

Did you see me up there?

Yeah.

Grace,

I know I have made every mistake

you could possibly make as a dad.

But, baby,

think about what you're doing.

Or better yet, why you're doing it.

Look, if you want to go solo,

you want to sing my song,

whatever, fine,

I don't care about any of that.

But if somewhere deep down

you still care about pleasing God,

then, sweetie, running away

and doing it behind our backs,

that's not the way you

wanna go about it.

Oh, you are not ready for this.

(SCOFFS)

Were you watching me, Dad?

I mean, like, really watching me?

No one has ever

questioned your ability.

(SCOFFS)

This is not about the music, it's about

everything else that goes with it.

(EXHALES)

Honey, just come home with me.

Johnny.

I didn't know you were here.

I would have had the band

announce you from stage.

Hey, man.

Dad, did you really

come all this way

just to tell me I'm wrong again?

No. (CHUCKLES)

Of course not.

Can we just go somewhere?

Let's go and talk.

No.

This is what I want.

I don't care what you think.

Tell Mom I love her.

She's really amazing, Johnny.

If you hurt my daughter...

It's me.

Okay?

I'm truly sorry that this is

painful for you. I really am.

Let me know if you need anything

while you're in town.

All right?

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

- Champagne?

- Yes, thank you.

So I have a lot of respect for your dad.

He has conviction.

And you bring a fresh, young new

sound to his music. It's terrific.

Champagne?

- (CHUCKLES)

- Well, champagne...

MOSSY:

Nice timing.

To, um, the success of

Misunderstood.

- MOSSY:
Perfect.

- Cool.

Speaking of which, you got a

timeframe for the album?

Um, no, not yet. I think we'll record

the single, see how that does,

and if it goes well,

we'll shoot a video.

Fair enough. How about a follow-up song?

Maybe something original?

Yeah, well, I think we wanna see

how the reaction to the single is,

then do a radio tour, and,

uh, if all goes well,

we definitely wanna have

a follow-up in place.

Absolutely.

Would you be able to record

an original demo for us?

Maybe something that

you've written?

Yeah, no problem.

Good.

I can't promise anything.

It's all about the numbers.

- MOSSY:
Always is.

- Mmm-hmm.

Well, well, well. Frank Mostin.

Haven't seen you for a while.

Kendra. How are you?

Very well, thank you.

Kendra Burrows, meet Grace.

Kendra is with Artist Development.

She will be your image maker.

Hi.

Your photos do not

do you justice at all,

you are stunning.

Thank you.

Grace Trey.

You ever go by Gracie?

Sometimes, yeah.

Gracie Trey, it sounds better.

Yes, it does.

Champagne?

No, thank you, darling.

Blackwell's rum, iced,

splash of pineapple.

WAITER:
Yes, ma'am.

We are gonna have so

much fun with you.

(CHUCKLES)

I can hardly wait.

I got a little something for you.

What?

- Here you go.

- What is it?

Don't open it here.

It's your first advance.

- What?

- Yeah, settle down.

It's gonna be enough

to get you a car

and get you by for a little while.

As long as you avoid

Rodeo Drive, you'll be fine.

What's that?

Perfect.

You're on your way,

Gracie Trey.

Welcome to daylight

Open your eyes

for the very first time

Look in the mirror

See yourself through

Heaven's eyes

Look beyond the old you

Everything you held to

Flirty, but not too trashy.

There's a perceived innocence.

Yeah, let's keep that.

I want every boy and girl

to fall in love with her.

We'll get there. For now, let's go for

daddy's little girl with an edge.

When the light breaks

out like a midnight sun

Blazing right in front of you

Life is here and now

and it's just begun

Your destiny

is breaking through

Welcome to daylight

Oh

Whoa

Welcome to daylight

There's no looking back now

Oh, we're moving

full speed ahead

We're leaving the past now

For the life

we're meant to live

Thanks, Jay.

- Jay! Hey, how are you?

- What's up, buddy?

This is Grace.

Grace, this is Jay.

He's on a very popular

television show.

- Yeah, I know.

- Thunder Falls.

She's gonna be a giant singer.

Welcome to daylight

Oh

Welcome to daylight

Oh

Welcome to daylight

Oh

What?

MOSSY:
Tell me about the car,

what'd you get?

Uh, it's a Fiat 500.

What were you saying before,

Mossy?

Oh, that's a nice image car.

Good one.

Okay, what were you saying?

Something about downloads being flat?

(STAMMERS)

I don't understand. Tell me more.

- (CAR ALARM BEEPS)

- No, no, it's fine.

It's fine, don't worry about it.

The, uh, radio play

is good, it's just

that downloads are a

little flat this week.

It happens, don't worry.
