Prompt
[Style] Chinese local black humor short drama (Chinese Deadpan Comedy), Photorealistic Live Action, everyday online short film texture, slight handheld photography, real physical movement, 4K HD [Duration] 30 seconds, single direct output [Frame] 16:9 widescreen [Language] Full Chinese on-site dialogue, precise Chinese lip-sync; no narration, no subtitles [Scenes] Old courtyard in a northern Chinese county town → Retro dessert shop in a small Chinese town → Old-fashioned guesthouse corridor in a Chinese county town [Characters] @Image1 named 'Mo Ning', responsible for on-camera explanation; @Image2 named 'A Lan', a fellow customer at the dessert shop; @Image3 named 'Auntie Wang', A Lan's companion [Reference Image Execution Rules] All three characters' faces, body shapes, hairstyles, makeup, clothing, and accessories must strictly inherit from their respective reference images, with no additions, deletions, or modifications to any appearance elements. Characters must fully match the reference images upon their first appearance, and no face-swapping, outfit-changing, or body-type changes are allowed during subsequent scene transitions. [Core Content] Mo Ning explains to the camera: To judge if a video is AI-generated, don't just look at the resolution, but observe animal movements, physical effects, character reactions, and spatial relationships. As she explains, she 'demonstrates' with increasingly absurd on-site actions, but consistently believes the issue lies with the AI video, not herself. [Character Performance Logic] Mo Ning always regards herself as a serious professional educator. The more absurd the event, the calmer and more self-righteous she becomes. She is not trying to be funny; the humor comes from her deadpan, erroneous judgments. A Lan is completely off-guard before the incident; she must wait until the liquid actually touches her body before showing signs of cringing, closing her eyes, raising her hands, and dodging. Auntie Wang must first check on A Lan before turning to look at Mo Ning; no premature staring or predicting the event. [00:00-00:05.30] Scene 1: Don't look at image quality, look at details (Static Medium Shot). An old courtyard in a northern Chinese county town with gray brick walls, a red wooden door, white plastic chairs, weeds by the wall, drying corn, and daily sundries. Afternoon natural light enters from the side, with tree shadows swaying slightly. Fixed front medium shot: Mo Ning sits on a white plastic chair, leaning forward naturally, hands near her knees, looking directly at the camera. [00:00-00:02.30] Mo Ning speaks as if sharing a simple, practical tip, her speech clear and natural: [Lip-sync Guide] 'How do you tell if a video is made by AI?' She finishes and keeps her gaze fixed, pausing for about 0.2 seconds to ensure the audience's attention is focused. [00:02.30-00:05.30] Mo Ning lightly raises one hand as if listing key points: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Don't just stare at the resolution; look at the animals first. When AI handles cats and dogs, it’s most likely to slip up.' She emphasizes 'look at the animals' slightly; 'most likely to slip up' is said with certainty. As she says 'cats and dogs', the sound of a dog panting approaches from outside the courtyard. Mo Ning hears it but doesn't look back yet. [00:05.30-00:10.20] Scene 2: Animal movements are most likely to slip up (Handheld Reframing). [00:05.30-00:06.50] A large black dog enters quickly from the lower left of the frame, squeezing its head between Mo Ning's legs. The dog has real momentum upon entry; its head appears first, followed by its shoulders and body. Mo Ning's hands are naturally lifted by the dog, and her body bounces back a few centimeters. The camera instinctively tilts down due to the dog's entry, briefly focusing on the dog's head. Mo Ning looks down at the dog: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Take this one, for example.' Her tone isn't playful; it's as if she found a ready-made teaching case. [00:06.50-00:07.70] The black dog continues to squeeze through, its body crossing in front of Mo Ning's legs, its tail brushing against the plastic chair leg. Mo Ning gently pushes the dog's head aside with her hand, then looks up at the camera: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Can you tell?' She pauses for half a second to give the audience time to observe. [00:07.70-00:09.60] The dog passes horizontally in front of Mo Ning and suddenly puts its nose close to the camera, causing the foreground to blur. Mo Ning's gaze follows the dog, her brow tightening: [Lip-sync Guide] 'The movement is glitchy, and the eyes aren't right.' She says 'glitchy' as if performing a technical analysis. The dog's actual movement must be continuous and natural; the humor comes from Mo Ning forcing a normal action into an 'AI flaw'. [00:09.60-00:10.20] The dog's nose almost touches the lens, emitting a short bark. Mo Ning watches it from behind and concludes flatly: [Lip-sync Guide] 'It looks fake at a glance.' She doesn't smile. A hard cut to the next scene occurs immediately after the bark. [00:10.20-00:14.60] Scene 3: Physical Effect Test (Extreme Close-up → Medium Shot). Hard cut to a retro dessert shop in a small Chinese town. Wooden tables, glass food cabinets, white porcelain cups, thermoses, tissue boxes, and Chinese price tags create an everyday environment. Background customers chat naturally. Mo Ning, A Lan, and Auntie Wang sit at the same table. A large cup of pink strawberry yogurt drink and another light-colored drink are on the table. [00:10.20-00:10.70] Mo Ning suddenly moves closer to the camera into an extreme close-up. Due to the rapid distance change, the frame briefly blurs before auto-focusing accurately on Mo Ning's eyes and lips. [00:10.70-00:13.70] Mo Ning opens her eyes wide: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Second, look at physical effects. When there's a lot of liquid in the frame, it’s most likely to be a giveaway.' She says 'physical effects' clearly and slowly. When she says 'a lot of liquid', her gaze briefly shifts to the pink drink; when she says 'giveaway', she looks back at the camera. A Lan and Auntie Wang continue to sit naturally, not watching Mo Ning's hand or showing alarm. [00:13.70-00:14.60] Switch to a two-person medium shot. Mo Ning returns to her seat, picks up the pink drink in front of A Lan, and holds it over A Lan's head with both hands. Without warning, she flips the cup. The thick pink liquid forms a continuous stream, landing on A Lan's head and flowing down her face, shoulders, and clothes, finally splashing onto the wooden table. The liquid level in the cup must drop as it pours; the liquid must have real weight, viscosity, and splash inertia. [Sound Effects] Cup clinking, thick liquid pouring, liquid splashing on the table. [00:14.60-00:18.20] Scene 4: Real reactions cannot be premature (Delayed Reaction). [00:14.60-00:15.20] After the liquid first hits A Lan, there is a 0.2-second neural delay. Then A Lan suddenly winces, closes her eyes tightly, shrugs her shoulders, and instinctively blocks her head. She lets out a short scream, dodging backward with real inertia, the chair scraping against the floor. A Lan is prohibited from closing her eyes or dodging before the liquid hits. [00:15.20-00:16.30] A Lan continues to dodge, her arm sweeping across the table and causing a second small splash of liquid. Mo Ning keeps the cup inverted until it is empty before pulling it back. The cup cannot suddenly become empty. Mo Ning looks at the empty cup, confirming the 'experiment is complete', with no apology or panic. [00:16.30-00:17.50] Auntie Wang is stunned for half a beat, then immediately moves toward A Lan to help wipe the liquid. Her attention must be on A Lan first. [00:17.50-00:18.20] Close-up: Auntie Wang slowly turns to look at Mo Ning, brow furrowed. A Lan pants against Auntie Wang. No clear dialogue, only lingering screams, heavy breathing, and clothing rustling. [00:18.20-00:21.30] Scene 5: Character reactions also give it away (Reverse Medium Close-up). Shot/reverse shot to Mo Ning. She sits alone at the other side of the table, which is a mess of pink liquid and fruit bits. [00:18.20-00:19.00] Mo Ning looks at A Lan and Auntie Wang, slightly raising her eyebrows: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Then look at character reactions.' Her tone is still that of a teacher, with no guilt. [00:19.00-00:21.30] Mo Ning observes A Lan, then Auntie Wang, then looks back at the camera: [Lip-sync Guide] 'That reaction just now was too coordinated; obviously overacted.' She says 'too coordinated' like an acting critic. Only after the sentence is finished does a very slight mocking smile appear on one side of her mouth. [00:21.30-00:25.20] Scene 6: Spatial relationships are the hardest to handle (Backward Tracking Shot). Hard cut to an old guesthouse corridor. Dim lights, several doors. A clear green Chinese 'Emergency Exit' sign on the wall; no gibberish. [00:21.30-00:22.40] Mo Ning walks from the far end of the corridor toward the camera. The camera moves back at the same speed. Only footsteps are heard. [00:22.40-00:25.20] Mo Ning continues walking: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Finally, look at doors. When spatial relationships get complex, AI is prone to making mistakes.' The 'Emergency Exit' sign must remain fixed on the wall and not distort. [00:25.20-00:28.50] Scene 7: The wrong door (Door Physics Punchline). [00:25.20-00:25.80] Mo Ning stops in front of a door on the left and turns toward it. Hand Close-up: She accurately grasps the metal handle and presses down. Correct number of fingers; hand-handle contact is clear. [00:25.80-00:26.30] Switch to Medium Shot. The door she is holding doesn't open, but the door next to it—untouched by anyone—opens slightly. The doors remain distinct; no merging. Mo Ning presses the left handle, but the right door opens. [00:26.30-00:27.00] Mo Ning looks at her handle, then slowly turns her head to the door that opened on its own. She frowns slightly, then looks at the camera: [Lip-sync Guide] 'See? Even the doors are confused.' Her tone is calm, 'I told you so'. [00:27.00-00:27.80] The adjacent door slowly closes on its own. Mo Ning rolls her eyes and lets go of her handle: [Lip-sync Guide] 'Forget it, I'm leaving.' Her tone is tired and decisive. [00:27.80-00:28.50] Mo Ning pushes the original door again, and this time it opens normally. She enters the room. The camera stays in the corridor. Once she is out of frame, the door shuts quickly with a heavy 'thud'. [00:28.50-00:30.00] Scene 8: Ending (Hard Cut to Black). The moment the door thuds, it cuts to black until the end. Footsteps fading away inside the room are heard. The final 0.5 seconds are silent. No text or logos. [Dialogue Summary] Mo Ning: 'How do you tell if a video is made by AI?', 'Don't just stare at the resolution; look at the animals first...', 'Take this one, for example.', 'Can you tell?', 'The movement is glitchy, and the eyes aren't right.', 'It looks fake at a glance.', 'Second, look at physical effects...', 'Then look at character reactions.', 'That reaction just now was too coordinated; obviously overacted.', 'Finally, look at doors...', 'See? Even the doors are confused.', 'Forget it, I'm leaving.' [Audio Requirements] One consistent Chinese voice for Mo Ning, natural and clear. No mechanical or robotic tones. Ambient sounds: wind, birds, dog panting, barks in the courtyard; chatter, clinking, splashes, and screams in the shop; footsteps and doors in the guesthouse. No background music or canned laughter. [Global Continuity] Characters strictly match reference images throughout. Mo Ning maintains the same appearance and voice. A Lan and Auntie Wang only in the shop; black dog only in the courtyard. Scene transitions must be hard cuts; no melting or warping.
