Prompt (original, unmodified)
第1镜 0–2s 极近景。 清晨，一双老人的手，缓缓将一碗热茶推过青石桌面。水雾袅袅升起，与窗外薄薄的晨雾融为一体。画面静谧，呼吸般的节奏。 第2镜 2–5s 低角度广角。 镜头贴近湿润的青石板路，一行人影从巷子深处缓缓走来，两侧老墙爬满青苔，红灯笼在晨风中轻轻摇曳。光线从巷口倾泻而入，逆光，金尘飘浮。 第3镜 5–8s 中景慢推。 一个年轻女人独自站在都江堰水边，望着奔涌千年的江水发呆。她的衣角被风掀起，江水声盖过一切。镜头缓缓环绕，天地辽阔，人显得很小，却很笃定。 第4镜 8–11s 快速蒙太奇，每帧约0.5秒 变脸绝技定格的惊艳瞬间 / 大熊猫慵懒抬头直视镜头 / 武侯祠烛光摇曳照亮千年石刻 / 夜晚锦里人潮涌动烟火漫天。每帧色彩浓烈，剪辑如鼓点落地。 第5镜 11–13s 黄昏。 一个男孩趴在茶馆窗边，手托下巴，看着街上人来人往，嘴角微微上扬。老茶馆里，方言软糯，麻将声声，时间仿佛从未离开过这里。手持镜头，温柔而真实。 第6镜 13–15s 无人机缓缓拉升。 夜幕下的成都，万灯齐亮，锦江蜿蜒如带，城与山与平原融为壮阔一体。画面渐暗，白色字幕淡入—— 旁白：「有一座城，让人来了，就不想走。」 （停顿） 「成都，自古如此。」 片尾字幕：成都·悠然天府 黑屏。结束。

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in cinematic AI prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In cinematic AI | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| orbit | 20% | 14% | 1.48x |
| aerial/drone | 14% | 11% | 1.34x |
| push-in | 15% | 12% | 1.31x |
| backlight | 24% | 16% | 1.5x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: natural light 29%, handheld 24%, golden hour 17%, backlight 16%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
