I. Project Positioning
Cinematic realistic texture, pure ancient style Chinese Xianxia aesthetics.
The overall temperament centers on restrained emotional relationship scenes, with a hint of very light deadpan temperature.
Style requirements:
Elegant classical character blocking
Arri Alexa cinematic look
Clear and stable facial micro-details
Natural volumetric light
Tangible silk and weathered textures
Restrained, quiet, and weighted emotional progression
Core Reversal:
A statement that initially sounds like "pushing someone away" gradually reveals another layer of meaning through the character's real actions.
It is not estrangement, but allowing the other person to truly leave their own shadow and grow into themselves.
II. Narrative Core
The true theme of this scene is not "sending off," but letting go.
On the surface:
The Junior Sister wants to go down the mountain
The Senior Sister says "I won't stop you"
It sounds like coldness, like letting go, like lack of care
In reality:
The Senior Sister isn't getting rid of her
The Senior Sister is acknowledging that she should go on her own path
What she provides is not restraint, but protection after stepping back
The emotional change to be achieved in the segment:
Beat 1: A harsh word causes slight pain
Beat 2: A small but real caring action overturns the surface understanding
Beat 3: A sentence that truly points out the relationship, making "letting go" become "fulfillment"
III. Reference Control
1. Character Identity Anchors
@Image 1 strictly serves as the identity anchor for Character ID A, Sword Immortal Senior Sister
@Image 2 strictly serves as the identity anchor for Character ID B, Junior Sister
2. Environment Reference
All background and location reference images uploaded in this round collectively serve as a single set of environment DNA.
Before formal composition, silently execute a round of environment planning, synthetically deducing compatible:
Real terrain
Architectural language
Spatial scale
Material era
Vegetation ecology
Water system direction
Weather
Clouds
Mountain mist movement
Main light direction
Reflective surfaces
Overall color
Aerial depth
Feasible character walking routes
Then recombine into a unique, unified new space for this round that has never appeared before.
Requirements:
Do not mechanically copy single reference images
Maintain identity within the same world
Three shots share the same geographical logic
Vivid environment but absolutely neutral narrative
IV. Character Settings
Character ID A | Sword Immortal Senior Sister
The same @Image 1 Sword Immortal Senior Sister.
25–30 year old East Asian female, oval face, fair natural skin tone, dark almond eyes, black long hair half-up, fixed with a white jade hairpin, tall and slender.

White embroidered silk Hanfu
Translucent layered wide sleeves

20–25 year old East Asian female, round and agile face, black braided hair, small stature.
Fixed styling:
Cyan-green linen Hanfu
Dark belt

Character temperament:
Sensitive but not fragile

Soft heart inside, trying to be restrained on the surface
This segment should move from "loss" to "truly understood"
V. Environmental Principles
The environment must always be vivid but maintain absolute neutrality in the narrative.
Environment life that can exist continuously includes:
Wind
Water flow
Mountain mist drifting
Clouds changing slowly
Vegetation responding to natural wind
Reflections changing with camera angle
Distant subtle activities
Spatial ambient sound existing continuously
But must meet:
Must not trigger the plot
Must not solve problems
Must not interrupt dialogue
Must not express emotions for characters
Must not create setups for jokes
The environment is only responsible for:
Providing a sense of real presence
Providing a sense of time flow
Providing spatial hierarchy
Providing cinematic breath
VI. Core Prop Continuity
Core props of this segment:
Junior Sister's small satchel
Junior Sister's dark steel sword
Senior Sister's unique small jade whistle given to her
Requirements:
The satchel is prepared from the start
The sword remains the same throughout
The jade whistle must be clearly visible, becoming the emotional anchor for the second and third beats
Continuity of the jade whistle from being handed over to being held tight at the end must be stable
All hand movements must be clearly readable and realistically restrained
VII. Storyboard Script
0–5s | Full Shot or Long Shot
In the departure area naturally selected according to this round's reference image real geographical structure, the Junior Sister has already packed her bags to leave.
The same Junior Sister looks at the Senior Sister and asks softly:
"Senior Sister, I'm going down the mountain this time, you really won't stop me?"
The same white-clad Sword Immortal does not hesitate and answers:
"I won't. Go further away."
The Junior Sister's eyes clearly dim slightly.
Camera requirements:
The two are fully visible from shoes to head
The space should be quiet and open, suggesting "departure"
The first beat must land
"Go further away" should sound like pushing away, cold, not keeping her
The Junior Sister's sense of being hurt is shown only through very slight eye changes
The environment runs normally but doesn't participate in this beat's emotional landing point
5–10s | Medium Shot or Cowboy Shot
Maintain the same two women, same clothing, and identical geographical space.
The same Junior Sister turns to leave.
Before she has taken even her second step, the same Sword Immortal Senior Sister actively reaches out:
Adjusts her loose shoulder strap
Retightens the knot on the sword
Then places the unique small jade whistle into her palm
Simultaneously saying calmly:
"Blow it if you get lost, don't push yourself if you're hurt."
The Junior Sister looks down at the same jade whistle and looks back at her Senior Sister again.
Camera requirements:
The second beat must land clearly
The Senior Sister's actions are more important than the dialogue
Adjusting the strap, retightening the knot, giving the whistle are quiet but specific care
These actions shouldn't be rushed, like she had already planned them
The camera must let the hand interaction and the whistle entering the palm be clearly visible
The background remains vivid but neutral
10–15s | Close-up or Extreme Close-up
The same Junior Sister asks softly:
"Didn't you tell me to go further away?"
The same Sword Immortal Senior Sister truly makes eye contact this time, calmly answering:
"Going far is to let you see your own path."
Maintain a half-beat pause with emotional weight.
Then adds:
"It's not to make you unable to find the way back."
Extreme close-up continues:
Junior Sister's eyes become slightly moist
But she finally smiles
Slowly tightens her grip on the same jade whistle in her palm
She asks again:
"And when I return?"
The same Sword Immortal Senior Sister shows a very slight smile at the corner of her mouth:
"Bring back some of your own stories."
The Junior Sister nods seriously, then turns and walks forward, not looking back this time.
The Senior Sister stands calmly where she is, watching her walk away, expression not of loss but of extreme restrained relief.
Camera requirements:
The third beat must land truly
"See your own path" is the theme sentence
"Not to make you unable to find the way back" is the relationship redefinition sentence
"Bring back some of your own stories" is the closing sentence, must be gentle but restrained
The ending is not a farewell but an acknowledgement of growth
The Senior Sister's relief shouldn't be overdone, just enough for the audience to feel she is truly letting go
