SHOT 1 (0:00–0:04)
Subject: @Male Lead, @Female Lead's photo, vintage hand-cranked popcorn machine.
Action: 0:00–0:01.5, the male lead stands in a warm and bright small courtyard, looks left and right mysteriously, and then holds @Female Lead's photo to the camera. The face on the photo is clear and identical to the real person appearing later. 0:01.5–0:03, the male lead shows an expectant and serious expression, stuffs the photo into the small slot of the popcorn machine, fingers must not cover the face on the photo. 0:03–0:04, he quickly closes the lid, snaps the metal lock, holds the rocker with both hands, leans forward, and is ready to exert force.
Environment: A Chinese-style small courtyard with a sense of life, wooden tables, low walls, green plants and soft sunlight, simple background, no onlookers.
Camera: Start with 35mm medium shot, move forward slightly; switch to 50mm close-up of hand and photo briefly, then return to the double-subject medium shot of the male lead and the popcorn machine.
Style: Natural warm color comedy movie texture, clear movements, real machine structure, stable photo content.
Constraints: The female lead on the photo must be identical to the real female lead; there can only be one photo; the machine size and structure remain stable; the male lead has five normal fingers, not covering the face on the photo.
SHOT 2 (0:04–0:09)
Subject: @Male Lead and the running vintage popcorn machine.
Action: 0:04–0:06, the male lead holds the machine rocker with both hands, shakes the metal cylinder back and forth forcefully according to the rhythm of 'thump, thump, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake'; the machine has obvious weight, and the male lead's shoulders, arms and body sway with the rhythm. 0:06–0:07.5, increasingly dense popcorn hitting sounds come from inside the machine, the pressure gauge needle trembles slightly, and a small amount of white smoke comes out of the lid gap. The male lead pauses for half a beat, opens his eyes wide, and shrinks his body back nervously. 0:07.5–0:09, the machine suddenly makes a crisp and powerful 'Bang!' Popcorn bursts upwards, and a large amount of white popcorn and fluffy white smoke rush towards the camera. The male lead is startled, his shoulders shake, and his arms instinctively open forward. The smoke must spread quickly and 100% cover the machine, the male lead's hands and the background, hiding a hard cut during the complete smoke blockage.
Environment: Continuation of the same small courtyard, table, wall and light positions remain consistent.
Camera: 28mm slightly low angle medium wide shot, slightly handheld following the male lead's shaking, but not shaking violently; quickly pull back slightly at the moment of burst, let the popcorn and smoke fly towards the camera.
Style: Combination of real weight sense and exaggerated comedy rhythm; explosion is a safe, soft magical popcorn effect, not a gunpowder explosion, no fire or destruction.
Audio: Metal lock sound, heavy 'thump, thump' sound, continuous shaking sound, popcorn hitting sound in the machine, and a clear 'Bang!'; no background music.
Constraints: Popcorn can only burst from the machine outlet; the machine cannot shatter; no fire, dangerous shock wave or character injury; the female lead must not appear before the smoke completely covers the screen; forbid photos directly turning into people, bodies squeezing out of the small machine opening in a deformed way or half a person hanging on the machine.
SHOT 3 (0:09–0:15)
Subject: @Male Lead and @Female Lead appearing from the magic smoke.
Action: 0:09–0:10, thick white smoke and popcorn still cover most of the screen. Only at the moment of 100% smoke blockage, hide the photo and hard cut to the full-size real @Female Lead. 0:10–0:11.5, @Female Lead is gently ejected forward from the gradually dispersing white smoke, her body is complete, the proportion is normal, her legs are naturally bent, and her arms are slightly open in surprise; she doesn't crawl out of the small machine opening, but appears directly from the center of the smoke in a complete human form. 0:11.5–0:12.5, the male lead steps back half a step, bends his knees to absorb the force, supports the female lead's back with one hand and her knee bend with the other, steadily catching her in a princess carry. The female lead is stunned for half a beat with her eyes wide open, then looks at the male lead and blinks in surprise. 0:12.5–0:13.5, popcorn falls like soft white petals around the two. After the male lead confirms he has really caught the female lead, his expression quickly changes from tension to ecstasy; the female lead looks slightly helpless and can't help smiling. 0:13.5–0:15, the male lead continues to hold the female lead steadily, turns his head to look directly at the camera, grins and says clearly in Mandarin: 'Oops, finally I have a girlfriend!' The female lead turns her head to look at him after hearing this, showing an angry but funny expression. Finally stays at the complete double medium shot of the two, not fading out, not turning black.
Environment: After the smoke clears, it is still the same small courtyard, with popcorn scattered on the ground and around the machine; the popcorn machine remains intact, located behind the two.
Camera: Use 35mm medium shot and naturally pull focus when the smoke is unveiled; pull back slightly when the female lead is ejected to accommodate her whole body; smoothly move forward to a double medium-close shot after the male lead catches her, steadily locking the faces and hug posture of the two at the end.
Performance: The male lead's surprise, catching, confirmation, and ecstasy must have clear emotional progression; the female lead is first surprised, blinks, and then shows a helpless smile. The dialogue lip-sync must be syllable-by-syllable with Mandarin, with a tone of surprise, honesty, and comedic pause.
Audio: Smoke 'poof' sound, popcorn landing sound, clothing friction sound when catching the female lead; male lead's dialogue clearly centered: 'Oops, finally I have a girlfriend!' The female lead doesn't speak. No subtitles, no background music.
Constraints: @Female Lead real person must be 100% consistent with the photo and reference image; the female lead appears from the smoke in a complete normal proportion, not shrinking, enlarging or crawling out from inside the machine; the male lead must really support the female lead's back and knee bend, arms cannot pass through the body; the fingers, limbs and face structures of both are correct; popcorn must not block the final expression; do not crop the female lead's body at the end.
Negative: Distorted faces, changing face, real person inconsistent with photo, identity drift, clothing drift, extra limbs, extra fingers, fused fingers, broken wrists, arms passing through bodies, body adhesion, wrong princess carry posture, female lead deforming out of machine, half body, abnormal size, photo visible deformation, insufficient smoke blockage, machine deformation or shatter, real fire, dangerous explosion, burn, teleportation, sudden background change, popcorn turning into other objects, plastic CG texture, cartoon rendering, stiff performance, lip-sync mismatch, double mouth, messy text, subtitles, logo, watermark, camera angle drift, sudden scene melting.
