STORY FORMAT: 14s / 150 BPM / MULTI-CUT / American dark comedy with absurd melodrama / 1970s Hong Kong supernatural visual flavor hybrid
TONE: mysterious suspicion → dramatic investigation → shocking reveal → awkward escape → absurd dark humor payoff
SETTING: Early Republic of China era siheyuan mansion, dim interior lighting, antique furniture mixed with odd Western decor, slightly eerie but stylized atmosphere
CHARACTERS:
Orange cat taoist: wearing a grey daoist robe and traditional hat, composed but secretly dramatic, sharp instincts with comedic timing
Hyena warlord: wearing a Republic-era military uniform, authoritative but increasingly confused
White cat (pregnant): wearing a soft pink maternity outfit, sweating, groaning in distress on an antique chair beside a plaster Venus statue
Gray cat maid: wearing a pale purple servant outfit, standing stiffly nearby, expression dark and unreadable
Black bear gardener: large, wearing simple work clothes, holding oversized garden shears, unintentionally suspicious presence
Evil baby black bear: visible only through x-ray vision, small but with an intense, menacing glare
CAMERA STYLE: fast zoom-ins, dramatic push-ins, comedic timing cuts, exaggerated reaction shots, slight handheld shake, surreal glow effects
SCENE
0–2s
Wide shot: The orange cat taoist enters the grand hall of a siheyuan, led by the hyena warlord
The room is oddly decorated—traditional furniture mixed with a plaster Venus statue
2–4s
Cut to: The white cat sits painfully on an antique chair, clutching her belly, breathing heavily
The gray cat maid stands beside her, completely still, watching
Hyena (low, serious tone):
"She's been screaming every night… ever since the pregnancy."
He leans closer
"You think something… got into her?"
4–6s
Slow push-in: Orange cat steps forward calmly
He pulls out a single leaf
He raises it and covers his eyes
Beat
Then slowly removes it
6–8s
Close-up: His eyes BURST into glowing golden light
Sound: low supernatural hum
POV shot: X-ray vision activates
The white cat's belly becomes semi-transparent—
Inside: a tiny black bear baby… staring back with a terrifying, fully aware expression
Its eyes narrow
It LOCKS gaze with the orange cat
Beat of silence
8–9s
Cut to orange cat's face
His expression freezes… then shifts into pure awkward discomfort
9–10s
He turns slowly to the hyena
Orange cat (dry, uneasy):
"General… I'm gonna be honest with you."
Beat
"That's… above my pay grade."
10–11s
He immediately turns and walks out
No hesitation
11–12s
Exterior – front courtyard garden
The orange cat walks out quickly, trying to stay composed
The hyena follows, confused
Hyena:
"Wait—what did you see?!"
12–13s
They pass a black bear gardener trimming roses with oversized shears
SNIP. SNIP.
The orange cat slows down… glances at him
13–14s
He gently taps the black bear's shoulder
Orange cat (grinning):
"Man… you've been busy."
The black bear freezes
Slow turn toward camera
Black bear (panicking):
"I SWEAR I DIDN'T PLAN THIS!!"
