Full prompt

Generate a 30-second, 16:9 widescreen, native 4K, 24fps ultra-realistic live-action cinematic Joseon Dynasty mother-daughter zombie tragedy short film. The overall quality should resemble a high-budget Korean historical zombie TV series, with realistic skin, hair, hanbok, wooden house, and fabric textures. The core is not horror, but 'the mother still remembers her daughter's birthday.' Reality is always cold gray, oppressive, and dangerous; memories are warm, soft, and happy. No BGM, only realistic diegetic sounds.

[Asset Binding]
Use only 2 character reference images. image1 = mother's sole and highest priority character reference. Strictly maintain recognizable facial identity, facial proportions, real hair color, hairstyle, hair accessories, white hanbok, shoes, body type, and overall temperament. The mother in reality and memory is the same person; in reality, her face is tired and pale, her eyes are red from crying, and her clothes have slight dust; in memory, the same face, hairstyle, and white hanbok are kept clean, and the face has a healthy flush.
image2 = 6-year-old daughter's sole and highest priority character reference. Strictly maintain the same face, round face, child proportions, double braids, existing hair accessories, colored striped hanbok top, red skirt, and white socks and shoes. Memory = image2 in a healthy state; Reality = the same child after infection, only changing skin condition, eyes, messy hair, and clothing damage, never changing identity, age, face shape, or clothing design.

[Reality Daughter]
It must be clear at first glance that she is already infected. The skin clearly loses color and appears cold bluish-gray, lips are pale and dry, a few dark blue thin veins appear on the cheeks and neck, eyeballs are cloudy and white, hard to focus normally, very little blinking, empty expression, jaw slightly loose. Double braids are already partially loose, one side clearly messy, with stray hairs sticking to the cheeks. The colored hanbok and red skirt have dust, water stains, and slight wear, but clearly maintain the original design of image2. No gore, rot, or monsterization.

[Reality Restraint]
The daughter is seated against a wall from the beginning to the end of reality, her waist and upper arms fixed to a low wooden post or frame with thick old cloth straps, used only to limit movement, showing no physical damage. She cannot stand, crawl, walk, or break free, only allowing her head, shoulders, and upper body to move forward about 20-30cm. Whenever the mother's hand, face, or body approaches, the daughter immediately generates a strong infection instinct: her body suddenly lunges forward, neck extends, mouth opens to snap at the mother, but always unable to make true contact due to distance and restraint. This reaction must persist in reality, never suddenly becoming docile or recognizing the mother.

[Story and Core Prop]
Today is the daughter's birthday. The mother has no food prepared, nor a birthday table. She only brings a small old cloth bundle containing a brand new bright red traditional daenggi. This red daenggi is the only core prop of the film and a visual anchor between reality and the past.
Reality: The mother braves the danger of her daughter constantly lunging at her to personally tidy the daughter's messy braids and tie the birthday gift.
Memory: The same red daenggi was the happiest gift on the healthy daughter's birthday.
The whole film must feature 2 clear reality-memory crossovers, both completed through the red daenggi and similar actions, not just ordinary flashback cuts.

[Environment]
Reality is a remote, narrow, dim Joseon Dynasty wooden inner room. Rough wooden walls, old earth walls, straw mats, thin quilts, few daily necessities. No dining table, food, cake, candles, or modern birthday decorations. Window paper lets in cold, gray-blue natural light.
Memory is the exact same room, but tidier in the past, with golden afternoon natural light through the window paper, making the space warm and lived-in. The background is always simple, not overshadowing the characters.

[0-5s]
Static medium shot. The wooden door slowly opens. The mother enters, holding a very small old cloth bundle in both hands. She looks at her daughter in the corner, her eyes already red. The daughter immediately lunges forward upon discovering the mother, the straps suddenly tightening, neck extending, mouth snapping toward the mother. The mother is startled, instinctively stops and shrinks back half a step, but doesn't leave. <Sound of straps suddenly tightening> <Daughter's dry, low throat sound> <Mother's short intake of breath>

[5-9s]
The mother sits on her heels at a safe distance, places the bundle on her lap, and very carefully opens it slowly. A brand new bright red traditional daenggi is revealed inside. In the cold gray room, this touch of red must be very striking. The mother gently smooths the daenggi with her fingers, her gaze instantly becoming soft. The daughter doesn't understand the gift, only staring at the mother's hand; as the mother moves slightly closer, the daughter immediately lunges again. The mother jerks her hand back, pauses for a few seconds, then reaches out again.

[9-13s — 1st Crossover]
The mother holds the red daenggi up to the daughter's eyes. The daughter suddenly lunges forward following the mother's hand. Just as her body reaches the maximum forward lean, a match dissolve is performed without a cut: the daughter's body position, size, and forward direction are locked as much as possible, as the cold gray reality gradually turns into the warm golden past, cloudy eyes return to clear, bluish-gray skin returns to a healthy flush, and messy braids return to neatness.

[13-16s — 1st Memory]
The healthy image2 daughter sees the new red daenggi in the mother's hand, her eyes instantly lighting up. She leans toward the mother happily with a similar forward posture as in reality, but the movement is soft, natural, and full of anticipation. She asks in surprise: "엄마, 내 거야?" The mother smiles and nods, answering tenderly: "응, 생일 선물이야." The daughter immediately laughs happily. <Child's clear voice> <Natural laughter> <Sound of fabric gently rubbing>

[16-20s]
Match dissolve back to reality through the same red daenggi in the mother's hand. Before her again is the restrained, bluish-gray, cloudy-eyed daughter. The mother slowly moves to the daughter's side and back, preparing to tidy her already loose braids. As soon as she touches the hair, the daughter immediately jerks her head and snaps at the mother's hand. The mother jerks her hand away, her body visibly trembling. The daughter cannot reach her. The mother pants a few times, looking at the red daenggi in her hand, then at her daughter, and finally takes the initiative to approach again.

[20-23s]
The mother uses the gaps in the daughter's restricted movements to carefully retidy one side of her messy braids. It's not finished in one go: the daughter continues to turn her head, lean forward, and make low throat sounds, and the mother truly jerks her hand away each time before continuing. The mother's tears gradually fall, but she does not stop. Finally, she wraps the new red daenggi around the end of the braid and begins to tie the last knot.

[23-25s — 2nd Crossover]
The moment the last knot of the red daenggi is pulled tight, a second memory overlap is performed. The mother's hand tying the knot in reality completely overlaps with the mother's hand tying the daenggi for the healthy daughter in the past. The position of the red daenggi, finger posture, and braid end composition are as consistent as possible.

[25-27s — 2nd Memory]
Warm birthday memory fragments. The healthy daughter already has the beautiful new red daenggi tied to her head. She stands up happily, does a small twirl, letting the red daenggi swing gently with her braid, then looks back at her mother expectantly, smiling and asking: "예뻐?" The mother looks at her very happily. This memory is only a short 2 seconds, like a most precious memory the mother suddenly recalled.

[27-30s]
The memory vanishes, instantly returning to cold gray reality. The same red daenggi is now tied to the infected daughter's messy braid end, the bright red color exceptionally clear in the dim environment. The daughter still has cloudy eyes, no joy, and completely doesn't understand what happened.
The mother squats in front of her side, sees the completed red daenggi, and tears keep falling. She tries to show a very weak, almost unsustainable smile, whispering: "응… 예쁘다." Pauses for half a second, then in an even lighter crying tone: "생일 축하해… 우리 딸."
The daughter doesn't respond. Suddenly she lunges forward toward the mother again, the straps suddenly tightening. The mother is startled and shrinks back, but doesn't run. She just stays there looking at her daughter.
Very slow push-in. The final frame focuses on the bright red daenggi newly tied to the daughter's messy black hair, then rack focus to the mother's moist red eyes behind. <Strap sound> <Daughter's weak dry breathing> <Mother's suppressed sobbing> <Old wooden house slight creak> Direct end.

[Performance Requirements]
The mother maintains a restrained Korean drama-style performance throughout. She knows the daughter is dangerous, so she must show real fright, hand jerks, breath pauses, and body shrinking every time the daughter suddenly approaches; but after each time, she takes the initiative to approach again, eventually insisting on tying the birthday gift. Do not wail prematurely, mainly expressing through eyes, swallowing, trembling hands, pauses, and silent tears.
The reality daughter must never speak, smile, cry, recognize the mother, cooperate with the mother, actively show the daenggi, or suddenly recover humanity. She remains clearly infected from start to finish. All cute expressions, language, and normal child movements can only exist in memories.

[Crossover and Consistency]
1st Crossover 9-16s: Reality daughter suddenly leaning forward toward red daenggi and mother's hand → past daughter leaning in happily seeing birthday gift.
2nd Crossover 23-27s: Reality mother completing the red daenggi knot → past mother completing the same knot.

Original prompt

生成一段30秒、16:9横屏、原生4K、24fps、超写实真人电影质感的朝鲜时代母女僵尸悲剧短片。整体像高预算韩国历史僵尸电视剧实拍,真实皮肤、头发、韩服、木屋与布料质感。核心不是恐怖,而是“母亲仍然记得女儿的生日”。现实始终冷灰、压抑、危险;回忆温暖、柔和、幸福。无BGM,只有场景内真实声音。

【素材绑定】
只使用2张人物参考图。image1 = 母亲唯一且最高优先级人物参考。严格保持可辨识脸部身份、五官比例、真实发色、发型、发饰、白色韩服、鞋子、体型与整体气质。现实与回忆都是同一个母亲;现实中脸色疲惫苍白、眼睛哭红、衣服有轻微灰土,回忆中同样的脸、发型和白色韩服保持干净,脸部有健康血色。
image2 = 6岁女儿唯一且最高优先级人物参考。严格保持同一张脸、圆脸、幼童比例、双辫、现有发饰、彩色条纹韩服上衣、红色裙子、白色袜鞋。回忆 = 健康状态的image2;现实 = 同一个孩子感染后的状态,只改变皮肤状态、眼睛、头发凌乱与服装污损程度,绝不改变身份、年龄、脸型或服装设计。

【现实女儿】
必须第一眼清楚看出已经感染。皮肤明显失去血色并呈冷青灰色,嘴唇苍白发干,脸颊与颈侧出现少量青黑色细血管,眼球浑浊发白、难以正常聚焦、眨眼极少,表情空洞,下颌略松。双辫已经部分松散,一侧明显凌乱,碎发贴在脸颊。彩色韩服与红裙有灰土、水渍和轻微磨损,但仍清楚保持image2原本设计。不要血腥、腐烂或怪物化。

【现实束缚】
女儿从现实开始到结束都坐在靠墙位置,腰部与上臂由宽厚旧布带固定在低矮木柱或木框上,只用于限制行动,不表现任何身体损伤。她不能站起、爬行、行走或挣脱,只能让头、肩膀和上半身向前约20-30厘米。每当母亲的手、脸或身体靠近时,女儿都会立即产生强烈感染本能:身体突然前冲、颈部前伸、张口扑近母亲,但始终因为距离与束缚无法真正接触。现实中这种反应必须持续存在,绝不能突然变温顺或认出妈妈。

【故事与核心道具】
今天是女儿的生日。母亲没有准备食物,也没有生日饭桌。她只带来一个小小的旧布包,里面装着一条全新的鲜红色传统댕기。这个红色댕기是全片唯一核心道具,也是现实与过去的视觉锚点。
现实:母亲冒着女儿不断向她扑近的危险,亲手整理女儿凌乱的双辫并绑上生日礼物。
回忆:同样的红色댕기曾是健康女儿生日当天最开心的礼物。
全片必须出现2次清楚的现实回忆交叉,而且都通过红色댕기和相似动作完成,不允许只是普通闪回cut。

【环境】
现实是朝鲜时代偏僻、狭小、昏暗的木屋内室。粗糙木墙、旧土墙、草席、薄被、少量生活用品。没有饭桌、食物、蛋糕、烛或现代生日装饰。窗纸透入阴冷灰蓝色自然光。
回忆是完全相同的房间,但过去更整洁,午后金黄色自然光透过窗纸,空间温暖而有生活气息。背景始终简单,不抢人物。

【0-5秒】
静止中景。木门慢慢打开。母亲走进来,双手捧着一个很小的旧布包。她看向角落里的女儿,眼睛已经发红。女儿发现母亲后立即突然向前猛冲,布带瞬间绷紧,颈部前伸、张口扑近母亲方向。母亲受到惊吓,本能停下并后缩半步,但没有离开。<布带骤然绷紧声> <女儿干涩低沉的喉音> <母亲短促吸气>

【5-9秒】
母亲在安全距离跪坐,将布包放在膝上,非常小心地慢慢打开。里面露出一条崭新的鲜红色传统댕기。冷灰房间里,这一点红色必须非常醒目。母亲用手指轻轻抚平댕기,眼神瞬间变得柔软。女儿不理解礼物,只盯着母亲的手;母亲稍微靠近,女儿马上再次突然前冲。母亲猛地缩手,停顿几秒,再重新伸出去。

【9-13秒 — 第1次交叉】
母亲把红色댕기举到女儿眼前。女儿突然随着母亲的手向前猛冲。就在她身体达到最大前倾位置时进行无切镜match dissolve:女儿的身体位置、大小、前倾方向尽量锁定,冷灰现实逐渐变成温暖金黄色的过去,浑浊眼睛恢复清澈,青灰皮肤恢复健康血色,凌乱双辫恢复整齐。

【13-16秒 — 第1次回忆】
健康的image2女儿看到母亲手里的新红色댕기,眼睛一下亮起来。她以与现实相似的前倾姿势开心地凑向母亲,但动作柔软、自然、充满期待。她惊喜地问:“엄마, 내 거야?” 母亲笑着点头,温柔地回答:“응, 생일 선물이야.” 女儿立刻开心地笑起来。<孩子清亮的声音> <自然笑声> <布料轻轻摩擦声>

【16-20秒】
通过母亲手中的同一条红色댕기match dissolve回现实。眼前重新是被固定着、青灰色、眼神浑浊的女儿。母亲慢慢移动到女儿侧后方,准备整理她已经松散的双辫。她刚碰到头发,女儿立即猛地转头并向母亲手部张口扑近。母亲瞬间抽手,身体明显一颤。女儿无法够到她。母亲喘息几下,看着手中的红댕기,又看看女儿,最后主动再次靠近。

【20-23秒】
母亲利用女儿动作受到束缚限制的间隙,小心地将她凌乱的一侧辫子重新整理。不是一下完成:女儿持续扭头、前倾、发出低沉喉音,母亲每次都会真实地缩手避开,然后再继续。母亲眼泪逐渐掉下来,但没有停止。最终她把新的红色댕기绕到辫尾,开始打最后一个结。

【23-25秒 — 第2次交叉】
红色댕기最后一个结被拉紧的瞬间进行第二次memory overlap。现实中母亲打结的手,与过去母亲给健康女儿绑댕기的手完全重叠。红色댕기的位置、手指姿势和辫尾构图尽可能一致。

【25-27秒 — 第2次回忆】
温暖的生日记忆碎片。健康女儿头上已经绑好漂亮的新红色댕기。她开心地站起来,小小地转一圈,让红댕기随辫子轻轻摆动,然后回头期待地看着母亲,笑着问:“예뻐?” 母亲看着她笑得很幸福。这个回忆只有短短2秒,像母亲突然想起的一块最珍贵记忆。

【27-30秒】
回忆消失,瞬间回到冷灰现实。同样的红色댕기现在绑在感染女儿凌乱的辫尾上,鲜红色在灰暗环境中格外清楚。女儿仍然眼神浑浊、没有任何喜悦,也完全不理解发生了什么。
母亲蹲在她侧前方,看到完成的红댕기,眼泪不断掉下来。她努力露出一个非常微弱、几乎维持不住的笑,轻声说:“응… 예쁘다.” 停顿半秒,再用更轻的哭腔说:“생일 축하해… 우리 딸.”
女儿没有回应。突然再次向母亲方向猛然前冲,布带骤然绷紧。母亲被吓得身体后缩,但没有逃。她只是留在原地看着女儿。
Very slow push-in。最后画面聚焦在女儿凌乱黑发上新绑好的鲜红色댕기,再rack focus到后方母亲湿润发红的眼睛。<布带轻响> <女儿微弱干涩的喘息> <母亲压抑的抽泣> <旧木屋轻微吱嘎声> 直接结束。

【表演要求】
母亲全程韩国电视剧式克制演技。她知道女儿已经危险,所以女儿每次突然靠近时必须出现真实的惊吓、缩手、呼吸停顿与身体后缩;但每次之后,她都会主动再次接近,最终坚持把生日礼物绑好。不要提前嚎哭,主要通过眼神、吞咽、发抖的手、停顿与无声掉泪表现。
现实女儿绝不能说话、微笑、哭泣、认出母亲、配合母亲、主动展示댕기或突然恢复人性。她从头到尾保持明确感染状态。所有可爱表情、语言与正常儿童动作只能存在于回忆。

【交叉与一致性】
第1次交叉9-16秒:现实中女儿向红댕기与母亲的手突然前倾 → 过去女儿看到生日礼物开心凑近。
第2次交叉23-27秒:现实中母亲完成红댕기结 → 过去母亲完成同一个结,
