GLOBAL CHARACTER
Original adult female lead:
Tall and agile Oriental female, cold features, long black hair with a few dark red strands. Wearing a black and red Oriental fantasy battle robe, gold scale shoulder guards, girdle, large red cloak and long sleeves, wearing a phoenix gold hairpin. Holding a bronze phoenix mask.
Keep the female lead's face, hairstyle, clothing and body type consistent throughout. Clothing can only flutter with movement and cannot automatically change.
Scene:
Large circular altar in the middle of the night, ground is dark stone, surrounding is pitch black and empty. A circle of real flames burn at the edge of the altar, with sparks and thin smoke floating in the air.
SHOT 1 (00:00-00:03.00) Putting on the mask, bringing out the phoenix
00:00-00:00.80:
Extreme close-up. The female lead holds the bronze phoenix mask to the camera, the mask occupies the foreground first, focus slowly turns from the mask to her calm eyes. Background has only a cluster of swaying flames.
00:00.80-00:01.50:
Camera moves back quickly to a low-angle medium shot. The female lead puts the mask on her face, right hand waves horizontally across her chest; a fist-sized fireball suddenly ignites in her left palm.
00:01.50-00:03.00:
The female lead suddenly spreads her arms. Camera pulls back at high speed to a symmetrical extreme long shot; the fireball explodes behind her, forming a huge fire phoenix ten odd meters wide. The phoenix is composed of countless feather-shaped flames, wings unfolding layer by layer from the middle to both sides.
Fire:
Flames have a white-yellow high-temperature core, orange-red outer flame, real smoke, flying sparks and heat wave distortion. Fire light must illuminate the female lead's mask, gold shoulder guards, cloak and ground.
SHOT 2 (00:03.00-00:06.00) Flame ring
00:03.00-00:04.30:
The female lead turns clockwise quickly with her left foot as the axis, red cloak flares out. Right hand sweeps up from a low position, a thick flame ribbon follows the arm's trajectory, forming a nearly complete ring around the body.
Camera:
Camera rotates counter-clockwise around the female lead at a low angle, opposite to her rotation direction, creating a strong sense of speed; flames sweep in front of the lens forming a brief flame wipe.
00:04.30-00:06.00:
Camera uses flame obstruction to cut to a vertical top shot. The female lead is in the center of the altar, flame ring closes around her; gold-red geometric magic circles light up one by one from the center outwards on the ground, light patterns extend quickly along stone cracks like lava.
SHOT 3 (00:06.00-00:09.50) Diving through the fire wall
00:06.00-00:07.20:
Vertical top shot continues to rotate clockwise. The female lead waves her sleeves, ground fire ring rotates at high speed, sparks fly out along the circumference; outer circle magic formation continues to expand.
00:07.20-00:08.20:
Camera dives quickly from high altitude, passing through flying sparks to a low-angle ground shot. Female lead drops to one knee simultaneously, right palm slaps the stone surface, a fire wall rises horizontally in front of her.
00:08.20-00:09.50:
Camera pushes quickly through the fire wall to a facial close-up. Female lead lifts her left hand, fingers slide slowly over the phoenix mask, pushing the mask slightly to one side, only revealing one sharp eye. Flames constantly sweep in the foreground, but must not cover the gaze.
SHOT 4 (00:09.50-00:13.00) Swallowing fire and breathing fire
00:09.50-00:10.70:
Cut to side medium long shot. Female lead stands up, left hand grabs a spinning fireball from the wall of fire beside her, palm holds the fireball, slowly brings it to her mouth.
00:10.70-00:12.30:
Low-angle quick push-in. Female lead tilts head back, spreads arms, breathes out a thick pillar of fire from her mouth straight up. The fire pillar rushes high into the sky, cloak and long hair are lifted by the rising heat flow.
00:12.30-00:13.00:
Camera rotates rapidly half a circle around the lead. Fire pillar divides into two left and right arc fire flows in the air, for the mirror clone transition in the next shot.
Constraints:
Fire breathing is a pure magic effect, character has no burns, pain or suffocation; fire pillar must connect accurately with the mouth direction.
SHOT 5 (00:13.00-00:16.20) Mirror clone and explosion
00:13.00-00:13.80:
A vertical flame mirror surface appears in the center of the screen. The female lead is mirror-copied into two identical clones on the left and right, the two stand opposite each other across the central fire line, spreading arms simultaneously.
00:13.80-00:15.00:
The two clones jump up and rotate outwards simultaneously, wide sleeves and cloaks draw two symmetrical S-shaped flame trajectories. Camera maintains a frontal extreme long shot, presenting a completely symmetrical composition.
00:15.00-00:16.20:
The two flame trajectories collide violently in the center of the screen, producing a huge explosion with a white-yellow core. Shockwave pushes out sparks, dust and ring-shaped air waves to the surroundings, briefly filling the entire frame.
SHOT 6 (00:16.20-00:20.00) Fire vortex and phoenix ending
00:16.20-00:17.30:
After the explosion smoke clears, cut to top shot. Mirror clones disappear, only the original lead remains. She rotates at high speed in the center of the altar, cloak driving flames to form an upward spiral fire vortex.
00:17.30-00:18.40:
Female lead suddenly stops rotating, tilts head back and lifts both arms. Fire vortex explodes outwards, all ground magic circles light up simultaneously; her body slowly floats about half a meter off the ground.
00:18.40-00:20.00:
Camera rises rapidly from top shot and pulls back. Huge fire phoenix re-condenses behind the female lead, phoenix wings fully spread, tail feathers connect to the ground magic circles; lead floats in the center of the phoenix, cloak spread. Last 0.5 seconds maintained symmetrical epic freeze-frame, sparks slowly float towards the camera.
FIRE AND VFX RULES
- Flames must have real fluid movement, inertia, smoke, sparks, heat waves and environmental reflections.
- Flame trajectories strictly follow the arm, cloak and body rotation direction, cannot float detached from the action.
- Fire phoenix must be composed of independent feather-shaped flames, wings having unfolding and slight flapping process.
- Ground magic circles use abstract geometric fire patterns, no text, garbled code or real-world religious symbols appear.
- Mirror clones only allowed to appear between 13 to 16.2 seconds, must disappear after explosion.
- Camera movements in order: extreme close-up zoom, low-angle pull back, reverse surround, vertical top shot, dive, fire wall push-in, low-angle push shot, mirror frontal extreme long shot, final aerial pull away.
