Adapt this brief

Prompt draft

Create a 16:9 historical martial-arts mystery at night in a bamboo forest. Use cold blue, ink green, gray-black, thin fog, drifting snow, foreground leaves, distant white haze, and shallow depth of field. Stage a tense secret-information exchange with close facial coverage and restrained shot-reverse-shot editing. Keep the look realistic and cinematic; do not add modern objects, captions, watermarks, animation, beauty-filter skin, daylight, or comedy.

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