Prompt draft

Create a Chinese kinetic-type experiment on a completely black background. Allow only white Chinese characters with a very small amount of dark-red offset or emphasis. Do not show people, scenery, photos, illustrations, icons, products, logos, 3D objects, English titles, UI, counters, borders, grids, or decorative graphics. Make the characters rapidly appear, scale, rotate, compress, collide, split, multiply, invert, and reassemble with a dark, sharp, controlled tone.

Replace the subject and reference roles first. Change camera, timing, and sound one variable at a time.
