Cinematic Wuxia holding breath challenge

Prompt

Section 1 | 0–10s [General Control Principles] Cinematic realistic texture, pure ancient Chinese Xianxia aesthetics, restrained deadpan comedy performance, observational cinematography, realistic micro-expressions, body weight, silk material, delicate film grain, volumetric air depth, and realistic 3D camera displacement. The entire world lives continuously from the first frame to the last, but must strictly execute three-track authority: Protagonist Plot Track = 100% screenwriting authority. Environmental Life Track = Continuous movement authority, 0% screenwriting authority. Background Character Track = Independent life authority, 0% protagonist interaction authority. The environment must not create, trigger, explain, interrupt, solve, change, emphasize, or sync with any character plot. Wind, clouds, mist, light, reflections, buildings, distant characters, vegetation, and water bodies must not produce special reactions due to dialogue, eye contact, comedic punchlines, or protagonist actions. Camera movement can only be driven by protagonist plot and character blocking. However, all non-protagonist areas must never be frozen. Before formal generation, interpret all current reference images as the world's DNA, rather than frozen pixels or static background plates. Comprehensively understand the landscape logic, architectural vocabulary, scale relationships, materials, weather, cloud systems, vegetation, reflective surfaces, traffic flow lines, primary light direction, foreground-midground-background relationships, and off-screen space extension, then reconstruct it as a truly connected 3D location. Retain the identity and logic of the reference world, but allow for the replanning of spatial arrangements and camera entry directions, without mechanically replicating the original 2D composition of any single reference image. [Characters] Character A | Senior Sword Immortal Sister East Asian female, 25–30 years old, oval face, fair natural skin tone, dark almond eyes, long black hair partially tied up and secured with a white jade hairpin, tall and slender, wearing white embroidered silk Hanfu, semi-transparent layered wide sleeves, silver waist seal, jade pendant, white cloth boots. Character B | Junior Sister East Asian female, 20–25 years old, rounded and lively face shape, black hair braided, petite stature, wearing green linen Hanfu, dark belt, wooden hairpin, black cloth shoes. [Living World Continuous Operation Rules] Throughout the 10 seconds, within every approximately 2-second time window, multiple non-protagonist motion sources from different spatial layers must be visible, but these movements cannot start simultaneously, nor move synchronously at the same speed. Extreme Foreground/Background: A whole layer of massive clouds or air layers matching the current world, which has already begun migrating at a slow, steady speed before the opening. Deep Mid-ground: Arrange 4–6 very small environmental characters living independently: someone walking continuously along a distant path, someone going up or down stairs, someone stopping to adjust sleeves or belongings before continuing, and two others naturally passing each other. All are unrelated to the two protagonists, do not look at them, do not stop for dialogue, do not stop because the protagonists stop, and do not synchronize actions for comedic effect. No visible background character can be frozen for the entire segment. Mid-ground Air Layer: Thin mist, low clouds, or air volumes reasonably existing in the current environment continuously move around real buildings and terrain. Mist must be occluded by physical structures, becoming temporarily invisible after entering behind a building and reappearing from the other side consistent with spatial relationships, never penetrating physical buildings. Foreground Layer: When the camera moves realistically, let a foreground element matching the current world—mist layers, plants, banners, building edges, or other reasonable objects—briefly pass near the lens, reinforcing that the camera is realistically located inside the space. If water, wet stone, metal, jade, or other reflective surfaces exist in the scene, reflections must change continuously with the camera position and viewing angle, not remain fixed on the background. All environmental movements share the same weather system and uniform wind direction. [0–5s | Wide Shot or Long Shot] The camera starts from within the reconstructed 3D world with a realistic forward, slightly lateral tracking shot. Foreground space or air layers briefly pass the lens, and mid-ground buildings create clear, realistic parallax relative to the extreme background. Two people walk forward side-by-side normally. The same Senior Sword Immortal Sister suddenly says very seriously: "Today we practice composure." The Junior Sister turns her head slightly to look at her. The Senior Sister continues: "Whoever laughs first, loses." The Junior Sister immediately retracts all expressions. Both stop simultaneously, then turn to face each other. All of this must stem from the Senior Sister's initiative to practice composure and must not be triggered by any background changes. Meanwhile, the Environmental Life Track runs independently: distant clouds continue migrating in the original direction, a distant character continues crossing a distant platform laterally, another continues moving along a road or stairs, mid-ground mist maintains its original speed, and a stable wind field continuously affects vegetation and hanging objects. The background must not suddenly start when dialogue begins, and the background must never stop when the two people stop. [5–10s | Mid-shot Duo / Cowboy Shot] The two face each other, about an arm-and-a-half apart. No spells, no swords drawn. Both strive to maintain complete lack of expression. To break the Senior Sister's composure, the Junior Sister makes a tiny movement: one cheek puffs out very slightly for about half a second, then immediately returns to normal. The Senior Sister almost reacts but forces herself to stay calm, only raising one eyebrow very slightly. The corner of the Junior Sister's mouth almost twitches upward, but she immediately suppresses it. A nearly imperceptible tremor then appears on the Senior Sister's lips. Neither can actually laugh out loud. The camera performs a slow, realistic small arc movement of about 15–20 degrees around the two. The camera must actually change physical position; digital zoom simulation of orbiting is forbidden. The background's near, middle, and far layers thus produce realistic parallax at different speeds. Comedy must only come from the two's micro-expressions and restraint. Meanwhile, the world behind them continues to live: a distant character continues walking and is naturally obscured by a real building, another background character naturally appears from behind another spatial obstruction and continues their route; air volumes continue moving between buildings; as the camera moves in an arc, the mid-ground structures and distant space maintain different parallax speeds. All background movements are out of sync with the protagonists' rhythm. [Segment 1 End Continuation State | 9.5–10.0s] The two protagonists' bodies gradually stabilize to facilitate the next segment's connection, but only stabilize the characters, not freeze the world. The Senior Sister and Junior Sister still face each other, both clearly in a state of nearly being unable to hold back laughter but still forcing a serious face. Character centers of gravity, eye lines, and expressions are clear; the camera gradually stabilizes. At this time: Extreme distant clouds are still migrating. At least one distant character is still in transit. Mid-ground air volumes are still in motion. At least one reflection or lighting state is still evolving. This "characters stable, world still moving" state serves as the anchor point for the Segment 2 time connection.

One must not simply re-generate a "similar-looking" location. The same world must be allowed to continue running forward along the time established in Segment 1. Complete inheritance of: The same Senior Sword Immortal Sister The same Junior Sister Identical face, hairstyle, body proportions, clothing Accurate positioning The laughter-holding expression from the end of the previous segment Eye line Camera height Camera axis Lens perspective Simultaneously, the motion phase of the living world itself must be inherited: Background characters walking at the end of Segment 1 continue from their actual position and direction at that time, not returning to the start. Clouds maintain the previous direction and speed. Mist continues flowing from the actual spatial state at the end of the previous segment. Reflections continue evolving. The entire environment must never reset to the Segment 1 opening state. Three-track authority continues: Protagonist Plot Track = 100% screenwriting authority. Environmental Life Track = Continuous physical movement authority, 0% screenwriting authority. Background Character Track = Independent life authority, 0% protagonist interaction authority. The background cannot cause the two to laugh, the environment cannot determine the winner, and distant characters cannot help complete the punchline. [10–15s | Duo Close-up / Restrained Arc Movement] Start directly from the accurate expressions of the two holding back laughter at the end of Segment 1. Both continue trying not to laugh. The Junior Sister changes strategy. She suddenly adjusts her posture to be extremely dignified, then very seriously mimics the Senior Sister's usual cold, calm, and solemn expression. The Senior Sister immediately sees she is being mimicked. A very slight change occurs in her nostrils. She holds it in. After seeing this tiny reaction, the Junior Sister's own lips begin to tremble more noticeably. The Senior Sister then sees the Junior Sister is desperately holding back laughter, so the two begin to generate new feedback to "the way the other looks while trying not to laugh." Escalate only through tiny micro-movements: A slight eyebrow raise A suppressed breath A lower lip quiver A nearly invisible shoulder vibration Exaggerated funny faces or large comedic movements are forbidden. At approximately 14.5 seconds, the two finally break at the exact same moment, simultaneously letting out a short, real laugh. This laugh must come 100% from the mutual feedback of their expressions. Meanwhile, the Segment 1 world continues running at its original pace: background characters continue their routes and are occluded by buildings; another person passes through a different route in deeper space; a third background character completes a tiny life action unrelated to the protagonists and continues forward. Distant clouds continue migrating, mist continues flowing, and reflections continue changing with the slight camera angle shift. The moment they laugh, sudden wind, sudden light, background characters turning heads, cloud acceleration, or any synchronized environmental reaction is forbidden. [15–20s | Mid-Long Shot Conclusion] After laughing briefly, the two immediately regain their seriousness. The Junior Sister asks: "A draw?" The Senior Sister thinks for a beat: "Again." The Junior Sister nods seriously. The two solemnly return their faces to an extremely formal state, then simultaneously turn back forward and continue walking forward side-by-side normally. After taking two steps, the Junior Sister casually glances sideways at the Senior Sister. Unexpectedly, the same Senior Sister is already looking at her sideways. Their eyes happen to meet. The corners of both their mouths show the slightest tendency to laugh again, but neither speaks. Do not add a third punchline. Maintain an observational aftertaste at the end. Because the two start walking again, the camera transitions to a gentle three-quarter side tracking shot. The reason for camera movement can only come from character walking, but physical spatial displacement must actually occur. A foreground element matching the reference world naturally sweeps past one side of the frame; the two protagonists are in the mid-ground; at least two autonomous background characters remain active in deeper space. One passes through a misty area, partially obscured by the air layer before continuing; another moves at a distinctly different screen speed at a different depth. The relative displacement of massive distant landmarks is very slow. Clouds and mist completely inherit the motion direction from Segment 1 and do not restart. If reflective surfaces exist, highlights slide continuously with the lateral camera position change. After the protagonists' final eye-contact laugh ends, the background continues to move. [Final 0.5 Seconds] The two protagonists continue walking forward. The audience can still clearly see multiple independent non-protagonist motion sources. The joke has ended, but the world has not. [Segment 2 Specs] 16:9 widescreen, native synchronized Mandarin dialogue and real short laughter, precise lip-sync, seamlessly continuous with the Segment 1 temporal state.
