Prompt
351 wordsCinematic realism, authentic ancient Chinese Xianxia aesthetics. Overall style: Sophisticated deadpan comedy, elegant and clear martial arts character blocking, silent-film reaction pacing, social awkwardness humor, and restrained absurdity. Visual quality: Arri Alexa cinematic texture, clear and stable facial micro-details, fine film grain, natural volumetric light. The core structure of this comedy segment must strictly follow: Epic expectation → Confident but completely incorrect understanding → Extremely ordinary truth → Authority figure adds the final touch. The logic of the humor absorbs the 'pretending to understand, polite response, listening but responding randomly' mechanism, translated entirely into ancient character behavior. II. Reference Control 1. Character Anchors: @Image 1 strictly locks Character ID A (Sword Master Sister). @Image 2 strictly locks Character ID B (Junior Sister). 2. Environment: Use uploaded background reference images to decide a unified environment DNA including terrain, architectural language, spatial scale, textures, vegetation, water, weather, and light direction. Do not mechanically copy; maintain a fresh, believable, and continuous environment. III. Character Settings Character A (Sword Master Sister): 25-30 years old, calm, restrained, solemn, serious to a fault. Her comedy point is not being frivolous but 'sincerely making a completely wrong interpretation.' Character B (Junior Sister): 20-25 years old, smart, quick-reacting, restrained but awareness of the absurdity. Her comedy point is 'realizing things are ridiculous faster than anyone else.' Supporting Characters: Enemy sect leader (solemn and proud), Elder master (steady and weighty), and disciples. IV. Core Storyboard (0-15s) 0-5s | Full Shot: The enemy leader issues a solemn, fast-paced death challenge. The white-robed sister listens seriously and nods once. Everyone thinks the duel is set. 5-10s | Medium Shot: The enemy is victorious in spirit. The sister naturally turns to the junior sister and asks, 'What did he just say?' Complete silence. She explains she only nodded because he spoke for so long, she had to give a response. 10-15s | Close-up: The enemy is offended and asks if the duel counts. Sister says 'No, I was just indicating I was still listening.' Junior sister holds back laughter. The elder master adds solemnly, 'At least she's very polite.' Precise cut to black.
