I. Project Positioning
Movie-grade realistic texture, pure ancient style Chinese Xianxia aesthetics.
The overall style focuses on restrained and mature wuxia emotional scenes, emphasizing:
Measured subtext in character relationships
Elegant and clear martial arts blocking
Arri Alexa cinematic texture
Clear and stable facial micro-details
Fine film grain
Natural volumetric light
The core reversal of this segment centers on "trust":
Initially, everyone interprets the Sword Immortal Senior Sister's inaction as coldness.
Finally, it is discovered that her true protection is not preventing the Junior Sister from getting hurt, but preserving her right to choose, to bear, and to prove herself.
Narrative Principles:
The emotional center always belongs only to the two women in @Image1 and @Image2
Supporting characters are only responsible for creating external pressure and social evaluation
Supporting characters cannot replace the two protagonists as the emotional center
The environment must be vivid but absolutely neutral in the narrative
II. Reference Control
1. Character Identity Anchors
@Image1 strictly serves as the identity anchor for Character ID A, Sword Immortal Senior Sister
@Image2 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 together determine a single set of environment DNA.
Before formal composition, silently deduce compatible elements:
Real terrain
Architectural language
Spatial scale
Material era
Vegetation ecology
Water system direction
Weather
Clouds
Mountain mist
Main light direction
Reflective relations
Overall color
Aerial depth
Real traffic flow lines
Then replan into a unique, unified new space for this round.
Requirements:
Cannot mechanically copy any single reference image
Maintain identity within the same world
Three shots share a consistent geographical logic
Clear layers of foreground, middle ground, and background
The world continues to run naturally, but plot progression can only come from characters
III. Environment Principles
The background is always vivid but maintains absolute neutrality in the narrative.
If the reference images contain the following elements, they should run naturally:
Water flows continuously
Mountain mist drifts naturally according to terrain
Vegetation responds to natural wind
Clouds move slowly
Reflections change continuously
Distant spatial ambient sounds truly exist
Hard requirements:
The environment cannot create plot events
The environment cannot solve character problems
The environment cannot change character goals
The environment cannot create setups for jokes
The environment only provides a sense of existence in the real world
IV. Technical Orientation
Organized overall according to Seedance 2.0 capabilities, focusing on:
Continuity of character identity through image reference
Native synchronization of audio and lip-sync
Clearly readable martial arts movements
Stable positioning of supporting characters
Stable geographical space
Director-level control over performance and camera
15-second high-quality multi-shot audio/video output capability
V. Character Settings
Character ID A | Sword Immortal Senior Sister
The same @Image1 Sword Immortal Senior Sister.
25–30 year old East Asian female, oval face, fair skin, dark almond eyes, long black hair half-up, fixed with a white jade hairpin, tall and slender.
Fixed styling:
White embroidered silk Hanfu
Translucent wide sleeves
Silver waist seal
Jade pendant
White cloth boots
A single silver longsword
Character temperament:
Calm
Mature
Measured
Rarely explains herself
The true way of protection is not acting on behalf, but respecting the other party as a swordsman completing their choice independently

The same @Image2 Junior Sister.
20–25 year old East Asian female, round and agile face, black braided hair, small stature.
Fixed styling:
Cyan-green linen Hanfu
Dark belt
Wooden hairpin
Black cloth shoes
A single dark steel sword
Character temperament:
Intelligent
Resilient
Not fragile
Will briefly misunderstand between external pressure and the senior sister's silence
But when truly trusted, can immediately stand firm
Supporting Character Setup
Elderly Master
One person
Distant secondary witness
Represents the sect elder's perspective
Has concerns about the Junior Sister's injuries and risks
Doesn't steal the scene, only provides social pressure
Sect Disciples
Two people
Distant secondary witnesses
Exist only as secondary figures in the environment
Do not participate in the main emotional line
Enemy Swordsman
One person
Fights with the Junior Sister
Only responsible for creating external pressure and the evaluation of the "cold-hearted senior sister"
Does not become the true emotional center
VI. Core Narrative Structure
The core of this segment is not "who is strong or weak", but "what true trust looks like".
The three-beat structure is as follows:
First Beat
The outside world misinterprets the senior sister's coldness.
The master asks why she doesn't stop it; the small enemy calls her heartless.
Second Beat
The Junior Sister challenges on her own and completes the outcome.
The senior sister never acts on her behalf, only uses minimal action to prevent others from intervening.
Third Beat
The senior sister admits she is "afraid," but what she fears more is the Junior Sister waiting for others to decide every step for her from then on.
A single sentence redefines the true meaning of "not acting."
VII. Storyboard Script
0–5s | Full Shot or Long Shot
In the sect sword-testing area replanned according to this round's reference images, the same cyan-clothed Junior Sister is facing an enemy swordsman.
An elderly master and two sect disciples exist only as distant secondary witnesses.
Character ID A is always the same @Image1 Sword Immortal Senior Sister.
Character ID B is always the same @Image2 Junior Sister.
The master lowers his voice and asks the same white-clad Sword Immortal:
"Her injury isn't healed yet, you really won't stop her?"
The Sword Immortal Senior Sister answers calmly:
"It's her own choice."
The enemy swordsman sneers:
"What a heartless senior sister."
Camera requirements:
Clearly establish the sword-testing space and character positioning
The Senior Sister never steals the focus; she is an observer and judge
The Junior Sister is at the front of the combat line
The master and disciples are distant but distinguishable
The environment continues its natural movement but never interferes with the plot
5–10s | Medium Shot or Cowboy Shot
Maintain the same cyan-clothed Junior Sister, the same enemy swordsman, the same white-clad Sword Immortal, and an identical geographical space.
The enemy completes only one clear downward sword strike.
The Junior Sister raises her sword to block, her body pressed back a step, but she doesn't wait for anyone to rescue her; she instead actively readjusts her foot positioning and uses a clean counter-attack to parry the enemy's blade away.
The master subconsciously takes half a step forward.
The same Sword Immortal Senior Sister only calmly raises one hand to stop the master, yet never draws her own longsword from start to finish.
The Junior Sister sees this in her peripheral vision, stabilizes her breathing again, and then parries the enemy's weapon through a precise wrist-rotating sword movement.
Camera requirements:
The fight must be simple, clear, real, and readable
The focus is not on flashy techniques but on the Junior Sister completing this trial herself
The senior sister's movement to stop the master should be light but very definite
Her not acting does not mean she is not present
After the Junior Sister sees this, her breath and confidence stabilize again
10–15s | Close-up or Extreme Close-up
The defeated enemy remains in the background in a shallow depth of field, blurred.
The same Junior Sister's breathing is slightly rapid; she turns to look at the same Sword Immortal Senior Sister and asks:
"Are you really not afraid of me losing?"
The same white-clad woman answers without hesitation:
"Afraid."
Maintain an emotional weighted half-beat silence.
Then she steps closer and personally readjusts the Junior Sister's slightly tilted sword-grip posture, calmly adding a sentence:
"But I'm more afraid of you waiting for others to decide every step for you from now on."
The Junior Sister's originally tense gaze gradually softens, and she asks again:
"So do I count as having won now?"
The Senior Sister looks down at the longsword lying at the Junior Sister's feet and answers expressionlessly:
"Pick up your sword first."
Extreme Close-up:
The Junior Sister lets out a soft laugh with suppressed emotion
Behind her, in the shallow depth of field, the master gives a barely perceptible nod of approval
Camera requirements:
The word "Afraid" should be short, true, and defenseless
Readjusting the sword-grip posture is one of the most critical physical actions of this segment
This is not comfort, but evidence of trust landing in action
"Pick up your sword first" is responsible for pulling the emotion back from weight to deadpan humor
The ending must be warm but never saccharine
