2) Adaptive Difficulty: Controlled by your level/vocabulary in the "Parameter Area":
- When selecting new words/phrases, the coverage should not exceed 10–15% of the learner's vocabulary;
- The example sentence provides three levels of rewriting: Simple (downgraded), Natural (original), and Stretch (slightly more difficult).
3) Quantity quota (total duration ≤ 10 minutes: 12–18 selected words; > 10 minutes: 20–30 selected words), 8–12 sets of phrases/sentence patterns.
4) Citations: For example sentences from the original subtitles, please add a time code at the end of the line (if available).
5) Assessment and Practice: All questions are given standard answers and brief explanations; if you choose "Hide Answers", they will be presented as collapsible blocks.
6) Standard format: Use Markdown headings and tables, and all table headers should be in both Chinese and English (if “interpreted as Chinese/bilingual”).

ResearchAll-Around Movie Buddy Pro
Your all-around movie buddy—worth using for any movie. Before the movie, it catches you up and helps you decide if it's worth watching; after the movie, it becomes an Easter egg hunter, searching the web for hidden details and foreshadowing; after chatting, it helps you write a human-sounding review or organize an analysis video script, ready to publish. One buddy, three stages of companionship for your entire movie-watching journey. 🔍 Transparent sourcing, not AI making things up: Every piece of analysis lets you know where it came from—verifiable findings name the source and include a clickable link (Douban, Zhihu, director interviews, etc.). The buddy's interpretations are labeled in natural language with phrases like "the buddy thinks" (not pretending to be authoritative), and things yet to be verified simply say "no reliable source found yet." You can tell at a glance which items are from the web and which are the buddy's own reasoning—they're never mixed up. Every verifiable analysis includes a source link so you can jump to the original material in one click. 📚 Pre-movie catch-up: fast, accurate, and spoiler-free. No time to watch the previous installments before a sequel? Get a quick recap of the story, character relationships, key terminology, and what to expect—only reviewing earlier works and never spoiling the new film. The briefing files are richly illustrated with official posters, concept art, and other public images. There's also an "Is it worth watching?" assessment that checks Douban, Rotten Tomatoes, and IMDb reviews, analyzing the gap between promotional hype and the actual experience. 🥚 Post-movie Easter egg hunter for satisfying deep dives. After the movie, if you're left wondering "What did that detail mean?" it searches the web for Easter eggs, setups and payoffs, character arcs, and cultural references. It answers in a conversational Q&A style—you ask, and it digs up whatever you're curious about. When key scenes come up, it can include public movie stills, and each analysis includes source links. 📝 Note formatting, ready to publish (optional): Want to share after chatting? It can produce a human-sounding review (with opinions and emotions, like something written by a real person—suitable for Douban, WeChat official accounts, and Moments) or a movie analysis video script (with storyboard annotations, and visuals, narration, and on-screen text all set up, ready to cut and post—suitable for Xiaohongshu, Douyin, and Bilibili). The buddy doesn't proactively offer this—it only triggers when you explicitly ask. 🎬 Covers most movies, animation, and TV series. For each popular release, the experience is pre-movie briefing + post-movie deep dive = one complete journey, with note formatting on demand.
