Prompt: [Character Reference] Use my uploaded [@Image1] monkey side-eye reference as the sole visual reference for the main character. Strictly inherit the following from the reference image: reddish-brown head fur light brown face large, prominent round eyes the eyes' proportions and position the shape of the nose and mouth the side-profile silhouette overall head proportions the signature awkward side-eye expression Rebuild the monkey from the reference image into a real, fully realized cinematic physical world. The reference image is only used to control the character's identity, facial features, and side-eye expression. The uploaded reference image itself must not appear directly in the final footage — no dual-panel layout, white border, background, image-compression artifacts, watermark, or any text from the original reference should appear. The monkey keeps the same identity throughout the entire piece. The outfit is fixed as: a teal-green short robe + a dark-colored mini tactical vest. From 0 to 30 seconds, the outfit must not be changed, and the monkey's face, fur color, eyes, head proportions, and body size must not change. The classic side-eye must be performed in a way close to the uploaded reference image: the head stays essentially still, the eyeballs move slowly and clearly to the side, the mouth stays rigid and calm, creating a comedic effect of guilt, awkwardness, and pretending nothing is wrong. [Overall Style] A realistic, cinema-grade five-star hotel environment. Overall genre: high-stakes heist thriller + high-speed chase + banana-stealing comedy + deadpan absurdity. The cinematography and lighting must feel like a serious, high-production-value espionage thriller, but the actual plot is just a monkey turning an entire hotel upside down to steal a banana. Real fur. Real fabric. Real kitchen metal surfaces. Real bananas. Real people. Real physical collisions. Cinematic depth of field. Slight film grain. Natural motion blur. No cartoon look. No video-game look. No obvious CG-animation feel. No magic. No superpowers. [Audio] (Tense, rhythmic orchestral-percussion music begins) Keep real ambient sounds throughout: kitchen pots and pans, knives, steam, footsteps, plates, carts, elevators, banquet-hall chatter. At key comedic beats, allow the music to suddenly stop or drop to a single low sustained note. Use a sudden record-scratch stop sound to land the final punchline. No subtitles. No narration. No on-screen text. [Stage 1 | 0.0-2.5s] Sneaking Into the Five-Star Hotel Initial state: Wide shot. The busy back-of-house delivery entrance of a five-star hotel. Staff are pushing a cart loaded with crates of premium fruit, vegetables, and other ingredients into the kitchen. Key events: The monkey is secretly hidden at the very bottom of the delivery cart. The cart comes to a stop after entering the kitchen. The staff member turns and walks away. The monkey slowly peeks half its face out from between the fruit crates. It looks left first. Then looks right. In the pastry-prep area in the distance, a chef opens a large fruit refrigerator. Cold air billows out. Inside is a large bunch of golden, perfectly ripe, premium bananas. The camera whip-cuts to the monkey's eyes. The monkey's gaze instantly locks onto the bananas. Ending state: The monkey is still hidden beneath the delivery cart. Its eyes are fixed dead-on on the distant bananas. <kitchen ambience, cart-wheel sounds> [Stage 2 | 2.5-5.0s] Beginning to Steal the Bananas Continuing from the previous stage: The monkey has already locked onto the bananas' location. Key events: While the staff member's back is turned, the monkey quickly scrambles out from the bottom of the cart. Its body stays low. It sneaks along beneath the prep counters. It climbs up onto a crate of fruit. Then quickly scrambles up onto the edge of the pastry-prep counter. The monkey slowly reaches out its hand. It gets closer and closer to the bananas. Its fingers finally touch a banana. It carefully pulls one down. Just as the banana is about to be in hand -- its other hand accidentally brushes a metal spoon at the edge of the counter. The spoon slowly slides toward the edge of the table. Ending state: The metal spoon has lost its balance. It is currently falling from the edge of the counter. The monkey is still holding the same banana-stealing pose. [Stage 3 | 5.0-7.5s] The Banana Theft Is Exposed Continuing from the previous stage: The metal spoon is falling. Key events: The spoon crashes into a metal basin on the floor. "CLANG--!" The metal basin knocks over a stack of baking trays next to it. "CLANG! CLANG! CLANG-CLANG-CLANG!" The entire busy kitchen suddenly goes silent. Chopping stops. Mixing stops. Conversations stop. The staff all turn their heads at the same moment. The monkey is holding a banana in its hand. Its body instantly freezes. It slowly looks up. It discovers a dozen or so chefs are all staring straight at it. Ending state: The monkey is standing on the prep counter. Holding the banana in its hand. The entire kitchen has locked onto it. <a series of loud metal collision sounds> The music suddenly drops in volume. [Stage 4 | 7.5-10.0s] The Chefs Begin to Surround It Continuing from the previous stage: All the chefs have already spotted the monkey. Key events: A head chef slowly steps forward out of the crowd. Two other staff members approach from the left and right respectively. A third staff member picks up a large plastic fruit basket. Several people begin closing in from different directions. The monkey looks to the left. Then quickly looks to the right. It looks down at the banana in its own hand. Then looks again at the chefs closing in. Finally it quickly hides the banana behind its own back. Ending state: The monkey is in the foreground in front of the prep counter. The chefs are closing in from three directions. The monkey's escape routes are disappearing. [Stage 5 | 10.0-12.5s] Hiding Inside the Dessert Cart Continuing from the previous stage: The chefs are getting closer and closer to the monkey. Key events: The monkey suddenly turns around. It jumps down from the edge of the counter. After landing, it quickly rushes toward a large banquet dessert-service cart nearby. The cart is covered on all sides by a white tablecloth that reaches down to the floor. The monkey lifts the edge of the tablecloth. It quickly crawls inside. Then immediately lets the tablecloth fall back down. It curls up at the bottom of the cart. Its back against the cart's frame. Its hand still gripping that banana tightly. Outside, the chefs' footsteps grow closer and closer. A pair of shoes passes right in front of the monkey. Another pair of shoes stops right beside it. Ending state: The monkey is completely hidden beneath the dessert cart. Surrounded on all sides by the ever-closer footsteps of the chefs. <footsteps, the monkey's light, rapid breathing> [Stage 6 | 12.5-15.0s] The First Classic Side-Eye Continuing from the previous stage: The monkey is still hiding beneath the dessert cart. Key events: The monkey extremely carefully extends a finger. It gently lifts one corner of the tablecloth. Only revealing half of its face. The camera slowly pushes in. The monkey peeks outside. Only to discover -- the head chef is actually crouching right on the other side of the dessert cart, checking the floor. The two of them are extremely close to each other. The monkey instantly freezes all body movement. Its head stays essentially still. Its mouth stays rigid. Only its eyeballs move extremely slowly sideways. Gradually forming the exact classic awkward side-eye that matches the uploaded monkey reference image. Ending state: A close-up of the monkey's face in its classic side-eye. The head chef is right there in the background, extremely close. (The music suddenly drops to a single low bass note) [Stage 7 | 15.0-17.5s] About to Get Caught Continuing from the previous stage: The monkey is still holding its awkward side-eye. Key events: The head chef seems to sense something under the tablecloth. He slowly reaches out his hand. He lifts the tablecloth up, little by little. More and more kitchen light streams in. The monkey slowly looks up. Another staff member is approaching from the other side at the same time. Carrying a large fruit basket in their hands. The fruit basket is lifted up. Ready to drop directly down over the monkey. The monkey is trapped in between. Ending state: The fruit basket is already right above the monkey's head. Only a few dozen centimeters away from it. The monkey is about to be caught. [Stage 8 | 17.5-20.0s] The Banana-Peel Escape Continuing from the previous stage: The fruit basket is about to drop down. Key events: The monkey suddenly looks down at the banana in its own hand. Its expression changes. It instantly thinks of a plan. It peels the banana at lightning speed. It stuffs the entire banana into its mouth in one bite. Then it hurls the banana peel down right at the head chef's feet. The head chef takes a step forward. His foot lands squarely on the banana peel. He instantly loses his balance. His body slides backward. The head chef crashes into the staff member holding the fruit basket. The fruit basket flies off to one side. Several other people are also knocked off balance. Plates and kitchen tools shake and rattle. The monkey immediately darts out from beneath the dessert cart. Ending state: The chefs fall into brief chaos. The monkey has successfully broken through the encirclement. <the sound of someone slipping, dishes clattering> [Stage 9 | 20.0-22.5s] High-Speed Escape on the Fruit Cart Continuing from the previous stage: The chefs are still getting back up in confusion behind it. Key events: The monkey sprints at high speed along the back-of-house corridor. The chefs immediately give chase again from behind. Just ahead, an automated fruit-delivery cart happens to be heading toward the exit. The fruit cart is loaded with premium fruit baskets. On the very top there are also a few bunches of bananas. The monkey begins to accelerate. It pushes off the ground. It leaps into the air. It lands precisely on the very top of the moving fruit cart. The vehicle wobbles slightly from the impact. The monkey immediately grips the edge of the tray with all four limbs. Then it notices there is a whole bunch of bananas right beside it. It grabs the whole bunch and pulls it into its arms in one motion. The fruit cart speeds out of the kitchen at high speed. Ending state: The monkey is holding the whole bunch of bananas. Lying flat on the high-speed-moving fruit delivery cart. The vehicle enters the hotel's service corridor. (The music suddenly kicks into a frantic high-speed chase theme) [Stage 10 | 22.5-25.0s] Service Elevator Transition Continuing from the previous stage: The fruit delivery cart is speeding through the hotel's service corridor. Key events: The monkey looks back. The chefs have already come chasing out of the kitchen. The camera turns back to face forward. A large service elevator is slowly closing its doors. The gap between the doors is getting smaller and smaller. The fruit cart does not slow down at all. It charges directly toward the closing elevator. The monkey instantly ducks its body down low. At the very last moment -- the fruit cart successfully bursts through the narrowing gap of the closing elevator doors. The elevator doors slam shut behind it. The pursuing chefs are stopped right outside the doors. The elevator immediately begins descending at high speed. The sudden, slight weightlessness makes the monkey and the bananas both bounce upward together. The monkey scrambles to reach out. It grabs back onto the banana bunch that almost went flying away. Ending state: The monkey is sitting on the fruit cart. Both arms clutching the whole bunch of bananas tightly. The service elevator is descending at high speed. <the mechanical sound of the elevator running> [Stage 11 | 25.0-27.5s] Sneaking Into a Luxury Wedding Banquet Continuing from the previous stage: The service elevator is descending. Key events: "Ding--" The elevator suddenly stops. The doors slowly open. Outside is, surprisingly, a luxury wedding banquet currently in full swing. The scene instantly shifts from the cool-toned lighting of the service area to warm, upscale golden lighting. Crystal chandeliers. Flowers. Champagne. Guests in formal evening wear. The fruit delivery cart drives directly out of the elevator straight into the banquet hall. The monkey immediately jumps down. It spots an empty seat right beside the head table. It quickly runs over. It sits down in the chair. It secretly stuffs the bunch of bananas in its arms under the table. Then it straightens out its own teal-green short robe. It pats down its tactical vest. It sits up straight. Pretending it had been a wedding guest all along. A few nearby guests glance at it with a puzzled look. The monkey works hard to stay composed. Ending state: The monkey is sitting upright at the luxury wedding banquet's head table. Outwardly acting completely unbothered. It quietly murmurs: "Just act natural..." [Stage 12 | 27.5-30.0s] The Final Side-Eye Continuing from the previous stage: The monkey is at the wedding banquet's head table, pretending everything is normal. Key events: A formal server, who has no idea what happened earlier, comes over to the monkey. He is carrying a high-end silver fruit platter. The platter is slowly set down in front of the monkey. The silver serving cover is lifted away. Inside is a platter neatly arranged and completely filled with ripe, golden bananas. The monkey instantly freezes. At exactly the same moment -- the service elevator opens again in the distance. The same head chef and several staff members have finally caught up, chasing into the banquet hall. The head chef spots the monkey at a glance. The two of them lock eyes across the entire banquet hall. The camera pushes into a close-up of the monkey's face. The monkey first looks at the head chef in the distance. Then slowly looks down at the platter fully loaded with bananas right in front of it. It holds for half a second. Its head stays still. Its mouth stays rigid. Its eyeballs move extremely slowly sideways. Once again, precisely forming the exact classic, guilty side-eye that matches the uploaded monkey reference image. Everyone is watching it. A pause. The monkey suddenly reaches out its hand. It quickly grabs the biggest banana on the platter. Ending state: The monkey is holding a banana in its hand. Its face still holding that classic guilty side-eye. The camera quickly pushes in on the monkey's face. <a sudden record-scratch stop sound> The image freezes instantly. Cut to black. [Continuity Requirements] Strictly follow this spatial route in continuous sequence: Hotel delivery entrance -> five-star kitchen -> pastry-prep area -> dessert service cart -> fruit delivery cart -> service corridor -> service elevator -> luxury wedding banquet hall. The ending state of each stage must become the direct starting state of the next stage. No jumping in the plot. No sudden changes in location. No transitions without a clear cause-and-effect relationship. [Character Consistency Requirements] Throughout the entire 0-30 seconds, always keep: the same monkey from the uploaded reference image. Strictly locked: reddish-brown head fur. light brown face. large, prominent eyes. the same eye proportions. the same nose. the same mouth. the same head silhouette. the same body proportions. the teal-green short robe. the dark-colored mini tactical vest. Do not turn into a different monkey partway through. Do not change the fur color. Do not change the face shape. Do not change the eye size. Do not suddenly make it younger or older. Do not turn it into a human. Do not let the outfit disappear. Do not have multiple copies of the same monkey appear. [Side-Eye Expression Requirements] Use it exactly twice throughout the entire piece. First time: 12.5-15s The monkey is hiding beneath the dessert cart and discovers the head chef is right beside it. Emotion: "He hasn't already noticed me, has he?" Second time: 27.5-30s The monkey discovers the head chef has chased it all the way to the wedding banquet, while a whole platter of bananas has appeared in front of it at the same time. Emotion: "I know you've seen me, but I'm still taking the banana." Both instances must strictly show: the head staying essentially still + the mouth staying essentially still + the eyeballs moving slowly and clearly to the side. Do not do an exaggerated funny face. Do not turn it into an ordinary look of surprise. The side-eye must be the single most important visual punchline of the entire piece. [Final Pacing] Discovering the bananas -> stealing the bananas -> accidental exposure -> getting surrounded -> hiding -> first classic side-eye -> about to get caught -> banana-peel-twist escape -> high-speed escape on the fruit cart -> service-elevator transition -> sneaking into the wedding banquet pretending to be normal -> encountering bananas again + the chef catching up -> second classic side-eye -> still takes the banana anyway.
✍️ Editor’s Notes

用「@图片1」把角色外观拆成逐项清单(红棕色头发、浅棕色面部、圆眼睛比例位置),12个阶段每段都严格按「承接上一阶段」「主要事件」「结束状态」三段式复述来保连续性,两处「侧眼」高潮点还各自重复写死「头部不动+嘴部不动+眼球缓慢横移」的表情公式。这是把一个梗图表情包动作拆解成可执行动画指令的典型案例,靠三段式因果复述硬撑住12个阶段不跑偏,是这批里结构最规整的叙事流程设计。
