Sample prompt text

Subject@【@Image 1】
0-2 seconds (Opening): Close-up quick push-in, wearing Chinese-style clothing standing in front of the stove, sinking qi to the dantian pressing the table with one hand, knuckles exerting force to shake the diced chicken, peanuts, and dried chili peppers in the bowl to fly into the air simultaneously, ingredients suspended in mid-air.
2-4 seconds (Starting stance): Spinning body to initiate the stance, right hand like a sword finger quickly pointing at the diced chicken in the air, finger wind accurately slicing through the meat fibers, diced chicken instantly cut into uniform small pieces, falling into the hot oil iron wok in an arc in mid-air.
4-6 seconds (Palm wind stir-frying): Sinking waist into a horse stance, both palms exerting energy quickly towards the iron wok from a distance, palm wind enveloping the diced chicken to rotate at high speed in the wok, stir-frying until it changes color, the meat is tender and not dry, evenly coated with glossy oil.
6-8 seconds (Flying cutting ingredients): Side kick, toes lightly picking up cucumbers and carrots on the chopping board, fruits and vegetables flying in the air, raising hand with a fast knife slashing like lightning, instantly cut into cubes, accurately falling into the wok to join the diced chicken.
8-10 seconds (Stir-frying kung fu): Holding the wok handle with one hand, exerting force with the wrist to perform the ultimate wok-tossing skill, the iron wok flying up and down, diced chicken, peanuts, and chili peppers intertwining and flying in the air, not spilling a single drop of broth, the movement is as chic as sword dancing, full of wok hei.
10-15 seconds (Finishing move and plating): The final large-arc spinning wok, drawing an afterimage in the air, ingredients steadily fall into the wok, accurately plating the bright red, fragrant and crispy Kung Pao Chicken into a white porcelain plate, the finished dish steaming, the camera freezes on a delicious close-up with a blurred background of a fist-clasping figure, the picture should be smooth, following the plot, must have close-ups.
