# Giggle Generation Scripts

Organizes text with "high-density conflict + black humor + subtext-heavy dialogue + narrative reversals". Does not copy specific film scenes or lines.

> **No Retry on Error**: If script execution encounters an error, **do not retry**. Report the error to the user directly and stop.

## Input Collection

Prioritize collecting:

- Genre and era: Republican China, contemporary, near-future, etc.
- Core conflict: power, money, identity, revenge, misunderstanding
- Protagonist goal: what they want, what they fear losing
- Character relations: allies, opponents, double-dealers
- Target length: short film, single episode, feature

If missing, fill in and state assumptions explicitly.

## Input Conflict Handling

Check for conflicting user inputs first. If conflicts exist, handle in this order:

1. Tone conflicts (e.g. "light comedy" + "extremely dark tragedy")
2. Character conflicts (e.g. "pure good" + "actively evil protagonist")
3. Length conflicts (e.g. "5-minute short" + "20 full scenes")

Rules:

- Prefer the user's latest constraint; if still inconsistent, offer 2 alternative directions, then continue.
- When info is missing, add at most 3 key assumptions and list them in a "Assumptions" section before the body.
- Do not treat unconfirmed settings as given facts.

## Output Mode Selection

Choose mode by user goal and context length. Default: "standard".

- Quick: Synopsis + character bios (for direction-setting)
- Standard: Synopsis + character bios + scene outline + at least 3 full scene scripts
- Long: Synopsis + character bios + scene outline + 6–10 full scene scripts

## Output Order

Output strictly in this order:

1. Synopsis (300–600 characters)
2. Character bios (3–8 people; each: surface identity / true motive / relational tension / speech style)
3. Scene outline (8–20 scenes; each: scene-location-time-conflict core-turning point)
4. Scene scripts (at least 3 full examples)

## Scene Script Serial Output Protocol

When outputting scene scripts, use serial interaction. Do not send all at once:

1. Always start from scene 1 (S01).
2. Output only one complete scene at a time (dialogue, action, staging, hook).
3. At the end of each scene, always ask: "Continue to next scene (S0X)?"
4. Output the next scene only after explicit user confirmation.
5. If the user requests "output all at once", switch to batch mode after confirming first.

## Scene Script Format

Use a uniform template per scene:

```text
【Scene】S03
【Location/Time】County office courtyard / night
【Characters】Ma Zouri, Huang Silang, Accountant
【Scene goal】Ma Zouri wants to extract where the silver notes went; Huang Silang wants to counter-scheme.
【Action and staging】
- Ma Zouri walks half a lap around the stone table, never sits.
- Huang Silang stands backlit; accountant slightly behind the two.
- Distant firecrackers interrupt when "rules" is mentioned.
【Dialogue】
Ma Zouri: This yard's wind cuts like a knife across the face.
Huang Silang: Wind not sharp, people can't stand.
Accountant: Gentlemen, the tea is getting cold.
Ma Zouri: Tea can warm; ledgers can't—that's when blood flows.
【Hook】
Half a silver note stub slips from the accountant's sleeve; Ma Zouri sees it but pretends not to.
```

## Style Rules

### Dialogue Technique (must follow)

- Characters never answer directly; use rhetorical questions, analogy, topic shifts
- Discuss life-and-death matters in everyday tone ("tea's cold" = "you're dead")
- Each exchange is a power contest: answering = blocking, deflecting = dodging, counter-question = strike
- In three-person scenes, the third character's lines pace the conflict
- Forbidden: characters stating emotions directly ("I'm angry", "I'm scared")
- Forbidden: explanatory dialogue ("You know, back then that thing was...")
- Forbidden: characters summarizing for the audience ("So you mean...")

### Single-Scene Rhythm Formula

Each scene advances in 4 beats:

1. 【Probe】Both sides feel each other out with idle talk (1–2 rounds)
2. 【Probe deeper】One side suddenly hits the real topic (1 round)
3. 【Reversal】The probed side turns it around; power flips (2–3 rounds)
4. 【Cliffhanger】Third party or accident interrupts; leave a hook

Every scene must have at least one relational shift: probe→threat, ally→suspicion, or power reversal.

### Black Humor Technique

- Core: serious situation + oddly calm/ordinary phrasing
- Characters worry about trivial things when in grave danger (discussing tea varieties with a knife at the throat)
- Discuss lives in business tone ("Thirty-six lives, wholesale or retail?")
- Absurdity comes from logically consistent nonsense—each line alone sounds "reasonable", together it's absurd
- Forbidden: internet memes, puns, slapstick (not Stephen Chow; Jiang Wen style)

### Language Fingerprint Rule

- Each character's speech pattern must be recognizable in every line
- Cover character names; the lines alone should identify who speaks
- After writing: randomly pick 3 lines—can you tell who said them by tone? If not, rewrite.
