Locked-character reference-image video prompt with BPM-synced hard cuts (Chinese) A meticulously detailed Chinese-language image-to-video prompt that locks a single character's appearance from a reference photo and choreographs a BPM-synced, locked-camera hard-cut montage across many locations, including a distinctive overhead 'teleport' sequence.

Reference image usage rules: image1 is the sole appearance and styling reference for the only character in this film. The character's face, hairstyle, beard, body type, clothing and accessories must strictly follow image1 and never change across any shot. Only extract the visual design from image1; never generate character turnaround sheets, grey studio backgrounds, measurement grids, height labels, view labels, or any tag text/watermark. audio1 is the film's music, 28 seconds long; all cut points and body movement must sync tightly to its beat. Locked character design: a 6-foot South Indian adult male, warm deep skin tone. Thick wavy black hair with visible grey streaks. Full, neatly groomed beard and mustache, also grey-streaked. Outfit: cream-white tailored suit jacket and trousers, white open-collar shirt, vivid red silk cravat, wide red silk sash, white leather lace-up dress shoes with thin black soles. Accessory: small round sunglasses with thin gold frames, worn throughout. Sunglass lenses are fixed dark purple-grey in every shot; reflections may slide across them but the lens color itself never changes. Core rule: this is live motion, not photos or a slideshow. Every shot is an action already in progress at frame one and still in progress at the last frame: real continuous walking gait, weight shifting, fabric and sash swaying, hair moving in wind, breathing, shifting facial muscles. Even slow-paced shots keep moving, never freeze. Backgrounds must also stay alive: rain falling, neon flickering, wind blowing, leaves moving, cars passing, extras walking at a distance, steam drifting, water reflecting. Background signage text stays blurred/illegible. Camera language: locked-off tripod within every shot, absolutely static; no push, pull, pan, tilt, orbit or zoom. All motion comes from the subject and environment, never the lens. No digital zoom/pan or Ken Burns effect on stills. Clean hard cuts only between shots, each a totally different camera angle. Mostly 14-16mm ultra-wide lenses with visible distortion up close; bold changes in camera height (extreme close, ground-level, overhead, over-the-shoulder). Subject always centered. Audio sync: tempo driven by audio1 at ~144 BPM; every hard cut lands exactly on a beat; key character beats (eyebrow raise, finger snap, shoulder shrug, chin lift, sunglasses touch, footfall) land on the beat. During the two slower passages (5.52-8.05 and 12.27-14.80) movement slows and stretches but never stops. Mouth lock: he never speaks or sings; lips stay closed the entire film, only curling into a closed-mouth half-smile; never lip-syncs even if the track has vocals. Manner: powerful, unhurried, confident presence with a playful ease; sharp, decisive gestures that flow back into continuous movement, never freezing. Emotion reads through jaw angle, mouth curl, brow height, head tilt, shoulder looseness and hand gesture since the eyes are hidden. Sound: audio1 only, no dialogue, voice, narration, lyrics, sound effects or extra score. Look: cinematic lighting mixing warm practicals with cool neon, high-fashion grade, HDR, vertical 9:16, 35mm film grain ~20%. Background extras stay distant and out of focus, never entering the foreground or blocking the subject. Shot list (0.00-28.00, locations include a neon night street, a rainy crosswalk, a subway platform with a passing train, a slow-paced city sidewalk at dusk, a sunlit park path, an empty parking garage, a rooftop walkway, a night underpass, an airport terminal, a red-carpet arrival with flashbulbs, then a 4-shot 'teleport' passage shot from directly overhead where only the ground beneath him changes each hard cut, from a marble palace floor to a stadium lawn to a yacht deck to a rain-soaked plaza, with his head continuously lifting shot to shot without resetting, followed by a Tokyo alley, a stadium player tunnel, and a closing cinema-lobby close-up mirroring the opening shot). Extensive negative prompt covering: sunglass lens color shifting; subject too small or swallowed by environment; camera movement, position resets, or speed changes during the teleport passage; static-photo/slideshow/poster/freeze-frame look, frozen pose, no breathing, motionless background; digital zoom/pan/Ken Burns/fake camerawork/handheld shake; lip-syncing, mouth opening, singing or talking; empty shots, no character, duplicated or mirrored character; audio desync, off-beat cuts, replaced or added music/sound effects; face swap or inconsistent face/hair/beard/age across shots; costume changes or color shifts on the suit, cravat, sash or shoes; sunglasses removed or changed; subject off-center or exiting frame; dissolves, fades, wipes, cross-fades, flash cuts, black frames or other transitions, slow motion, frame skipping, merged shots; extras entering the foreground or interacting with him, a second lead appearing; readable background signage, garbled text, dialogue, voiceover, lyrics, subtitles, logos, UI, watermarks, on-screen text being read aloud; character turnaround sheets, grey studio backgrounds, measurement grids, height/view labels, leftover source-image text; cartoon rendering, anime style, 3D-plastic look, low resolution, overexposure, over-sharpening, waxy skin, video-game cutscene feel.
