Prompt

564 words
I. Project Positioning
Cinematic realistic texture, pure ancient Chinese xianxia aesthetics. Style requirements: Restrained emotional drama transitioning into warm, deadpan humor. Elegant classical character blocking, Arri Alexa cinematic texture, stable facial micro-details, fine film grain, natural volumetric light. Core structure: 'Three-Beat Emotional Reversal'. 1st beat: use a cold remark to create emotional drop. 2nd beat: character's actions contradict the remark. 3rd beat: a weighty line redefines the relationship. Strict rule: plot must be driven by character choices, dialogue, and action; environment remains neutral and non-intervening.

II. Narrative Principles
The core is the re-confirmation of the relationship, not superficial conflict. Tone: quiet, restrained, with slight misunderstanding in the first half; warm and unsentimental in the second half. Humor comes from their mutual understanding and the senior sister's blunt way of caring.

III. Reference Control
1. Character Anchors: @Image 1 strictly for Senior Sister (Role A). @Image 2 strictly for Junior Sister (Role B).
2. Environment: Merge uploaded backgrounds into a unified geography. Infer compatible terrain, architecture, scale, materials, vegetation, weather, and lighting to create a consistent new space shared across all three shots.

IV. Character Settings
Role A (Senior Sister): Same as @Image 1. 25-30 years old, East Asian, oval face, fair skin, dark almond eyes, black hair partially pinned with white jade, tall and slender. Outfit: white embroidered silk hanfu, wide sleeves, silver belt, jade pendant, white boots. Holds a silver longsword.
Role B (Junior Sister): Same as @Image 2. 20-25 years old, round lively face, braided black hair, petite. Outfit: celadon linen hanfu, dark belt, wooden hairpin, black shoes. Holds a dark steel sword. Extra: Right wrist wrapped in clean light-colored cloth (must be stable throughout).

V. Environmental Principles
Environment operates independently and naturally (wind, water flow, mist, reflections) but does not trigger or resolve the plot. It only provides realism and depth.

VI. Prop Continuity
Dark steel sword, wrist wrap, and the cloth used to wrap the sword must be consistent. The wrapping action must be detailed and sincere, as it serves as the evidence for the second beat reversal.

VII. Storyboard Script
0-5s | Wide Shot: In a quiet resting space, the Junior Sister looks at her sword and asks: 'Senior Sister, what if I can no longer hold the sword?' The white-clad Senior Sister answers without hesitation: 'Then don't hold it.' Beat 1 must feel cold, creating a drop for the character and audience.
5-10s | Medium Shot: Junior Sister is visibly hurt, saying: 'You are certainly blunt.' Senior Sister doesn't explain but takes the sword and carefully wraps it in cloth. She says: 'There are so many paths down the mountain; who says you must fly with a sword?' Beat 2 shows her actions contradict her words—she is protecting her sister's future.
10-15s | Close-up: Junior Sister asks: 'Am I still your junior sister?' Senior Sister looks her in the eye: 'It's you I recognize, not this sword.' A weighty pause. Junior Sister smiles slightly and asks: 'Will you still scold me then?' Sister replies: 'Yes, as always.' Junior Sister laughs, and the Sister hides a tiny smile while continuing to wrap the sword. Beat 3 redefines the relationship with warmth and deadpan humor.

VIII-XII. Performance & Technical
Detailed acting cues for facial expressions, hand movements for wrapping the sword, cinematic Arri Alexa camera movement (16:9), native Mandarin dialogue sync, and high technical fidelity for silk fabrics and micro-expressions.
