# INPUT KIT — what the user feeds into Alici VideoAgent Micro Drama Mode
# (a) One reference photo of the female lead (clean headshot, any ethnicity)
# (b) One paragraph of script or situation — OR the full MASTER PROMPT below
# (c) Press Generate once
# That's it. VideoAgent returns a polished vertical drama from these three inputs alone.

# REFERENCE FORMULA
# Based on the cold-open formula popularized by "The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband"
# (ReelShort, 500 million+ views, the most-cited microdrama opener in NPR / Rolling Stone /
# Rest of World / EqualOcean coverage). The Secret Billionaire Reveal is the genre's #1
# eight-second hook — a woman dismisses a man she has decided is beneath her, then discovers
# he is secretly the wealthiest heir in the city. This prompt reproduces that beat as an
# Alici VideoAgent storyboard, optimized for the new Micro Drama Mode (vertical 9:16,
# eight-second hook, Seedance 2.0 / Sora 2 / Veo 3.1 / Hailuo 02 routing).

GLOBAL LOCK
Style: photoreal cinematic vertical microdrama, 9:16, 1080×1920, 24fps, shallow depth of field, warm cinematic grade with cool teal shadow rolloff, subtle film grain. Subject identity, wardrobe, and diner environment must remain locked across every shot. Two on-camera figures and only two: a woman in her mid-20s (any ethnicity, model default; shoulder-length wavy chestnut hair parted slightly off-center; faded denim jacket over a plain white tee; small silver hoop earrings; light blue jeans; tired but proud expression; emotional arc from dismissive to stunned) and a man in his early 30s (any ethnicity, model default; close-cropped hair; worn brown leather jacket over a plain dark t-shirt; faded jeans; scuffed brown leather work boots; calloused hands with a thin silver ring on the right pinky; carries a slim cream document folder in his right hand; expression neutral and unreadable throughout). Environment: a classic American roadside diner just before sunset, twenty miles outside a small Texas town. Long formica counter with a polished chrome rim. Cracked red vinyl swivel stools, four visible. A half-empty white ceramic coffee mug on a paper placemat in front of the woman, steam barely visible. A vintage Wurlitzer jukebox glowing red and amber against the back wall. A neon sign reading OPEN 24 HOURS hums above the kitchen pass-through, casting a faint pink wash on the right edge of frame. Through the front window: a gravel parking lot, a single dust-covered red Ford F-150 pickup with one bumper sticker, a US Route 66 sign post leaning slightly, golden hour light flooding low across the asphalt. Lighting: warm golden-hour key from the front window raking left-to-right at 15 degrees above horizon, cool fluorescent fill from the strip lights above the counter, motivated practical from the OPEN 24 HOURS neon on the right and the jukebox glow on the back wall. Camera language: 50mm full-frame look, gentle handheld micro-jitter, smooth dolly and slow push-ins only, no whip pans, no zoom blur, no rack focus. Speech: minimal dialogue, intimate close-mic ADR feel, no room reverb, English with neutral North American accent, lip-sync strictness high, but the only spoken line stays off-camera. Audio bed: a single low cello drone, no melody, swelling on the final shot. The jukebox plays nothing — it is on but silent.

[00:00–00:02] EXTREME WIDE establishing shot through the diner front window from the gravel parking lot. The dust-covered red Ford F-150 dominates the foreground out of focus; through the glass beyond it the woman sits alone at the counter scrolling her phone, the OPEN 24 HOURS neon glowing pink behind her, the Route 66 sign post visible at the right edge of frame. Slow 5% dolly-in. No dialogue. Only the cello drone, distant cicadas, and the faint hum of the neon. Wardrobe, F-150, and diner details must match the GLOBAL LOCK exactly.

[00:02–00:04] CUT to a MEDIUM SHOT inside the diner from the woman's eyeline. The man slides onto the red vinyl stool beside her, places the cream document folder face-down on the formica counter, says nothing, does not look at her. The woman glances at him with mild irritation, takes in the worn leather jacket, the scuffed boots, and the calloused hand, smirks faintly, decides he is a drifter passing through, and looks back at her phone. Camera holds static. The cello drone gains a single low note. The jukebox glow flickers once on his right shoulder.

[00:04–00:06] CLOSE-UP, eye-level, the man's calloused hand sliding the cream folder across the counter toward the woman. He flips it open with a single thumb. Inside, the top page is a property deed, beneath it a mortgage payoff certificate stamped PAID IN FULL, and resting on top a heavy brass key on a leather fob embossed with a single letter — no other readable text anywhere in the folder. His voice, off-camera, low and even with a faint Texas drawl: "It was always in your name. He just never told you." Lip-sync not required. Subtle handheld micro-jitter. The cello drone pitches up a half-step. The neon sign flares slightly on the right edge of frame.

[00:06–00:08] MEDIUM CLOSE-UP, slow 8% push-in onto the woman's face as her eyes scan the deed. Her smirk falls. Her breath catches. She does not turn her head. Her lips part but no sound comes out. The OPEN 24 HOURS neon behind her softens into pink bokeh, the jukebox into amber. Cut to black on the eighth second exactly as the cello swell peaks — the cliffhanger lands on her stunned silent face, not on a spoken word.

NEGATIVE PROMPT
no extra figures or background extras inside the diner, no waitress, no cook in the back, no other patrons, no warped hands or fingers, no readable text on the documents beyond the embossed single letter on the keyring and the PAID IN FULL stamp, no jewelry changes between shots, no wardrobe color drift, no morphing facial features between cuts, no lip-sync mismatch on the off-camera line, no smile or laugh on the woman, no fast camera moves or whip pans, no jukebox music — silent jukebox only, no neon glare flicker beyond the one scripted flare, no over-saturated grade, no crushed blacks, no rolling-shutter wobble, no obvious AI motion blur, no plastic skin, no robotic voice cadence on the off-camera line, no music with melody — drone only, no extra dialogue, no on-screen captions, no watermark, no celebrity likeness, no Asian skyline cues, no European architecture, no urban setting.
