Pets' Dramatic Acting Drill

Full Prompt

0-2 seconds: Medium front shot, three pets—dog, parrot, and cat—lined up looking at the camera. The person off-screen raises their hand like a gun and says, "Come on, let's do a drill." 2-5 seconds: Cut to a close-up of the dog. The off-screen person shouts, "Biu!" The dog dramatically falls over, sticking out its tongue. The off-screen person nods and says, "Good job, Wangcai, very dedicated." 5-8 seconds: Cut to a close-up of the parrot. The off-screen person shouts, "Biu!" The parrot tilts its head back, stiffens, and falls over. The off-screen person says approvingly, "The extra is cooperating well too." 8-12 seconds: Cut to a close-up of the cat. The off-screen person says, "Biu." The cat sits still, staring coldly at the camera. The off-screen person frowns and says, "Why aren't you following the script?" 12-15 seconds: The off-screen person locks eyes with the cat, points at it sternly, and says, "If you don't fall over—" then pauses before adding, "all the cat food today goes to Wangcai!" The cat instantly lies down. On-screen, a subtitle appears: "The Self-Cultivation of an Actor."
