Adapt this brief

Prompt draft

Create a vertical live-action family argument in a Chinese home or small restaurant with warm light, red decoration, calligraphy in the background, shallow depth of field, and tight pacing. Qin Haoxuan responds with anger, hurt, and urgency while the older woman questions him sharply and forcefully. Build the confrontation through medium close-ups and frequent shot-reverse-shot edits. Do not add captions, watermarks, science-fiction, costume drama, or theatrical acting.

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