Prompt
Copy-ready prompt
Cinematic realistic texture, pure ancient Chinese Xianxia aesthetics. Core principles: No modern vocabulary. Avoid the cliché twist where 'seemingly useless hobbies hide ultimate skills'. The cup remains just an ordinary, slightly crooked cup throughout, carrying character values rather than plot utility. Reference & Environment: Use @Image 1 and @Image 2 strictly as identity anchors for characters. Silently recombine uploaded background references into a unified environmental DNA (architecture, terrain, materials, vegetation, water, mist, clouds, reflections, lighting, depth). Environment must remain alive but narratively neutral. Characters: ID A (Senior Sister): 25-30yo East Asian woman, white silk Hanfu, silver sword, calm demeanor. ID B (Junior Sister): 20-25yo East Asian woman, green linen Hanfu, steel sword, petite. Others: Master, competitive peer, other disciples. Structure (15s total): 0-5s: Wide shot. Disciples show achievements (manuals, cores). Junior shows a crooked clay cup. Master asks why she made it. She says "I wanted to learn." 5-10s: Medium shot. Peer mocks its uselessness. Senior takes the cup, pours tea, stays silent. 10-15s: Close-up. Master questions Senior's tolerance. Senior admits it's not progress, then drinks from it, saying "That's why it's rare." She tells Junior: "People aren't magical artifacts. Not everything needs to be useful." Hard Constraints: Strictly 15 seconds, 16:9 horizontal. Three continuous clear shots. Native synchronized Mandarin dialogue with precise lip sync. Stable character identities, costumes, props. Natural physics for pottery, tea, fabric, hair. No subtitles. Seedance 2.0 Mini Focus: Multi-reference identity consistency, visual hierarchy, limited dramatic actions, camera/light continuity, prop stability, precise audio-visual sync (dialogue, sounds of objects).
