Story Remix Adapter

Purpose

Create a new, ownable story from a reference work by extracting the attraction mechanism, then rebuilding world, characters, conflicts, rules, scenes, dialogue, and ending direction. Do not merely polish, summarize, translate, or rename the source.

Read references/adaptation-legal-and-craft.md when doing a full adaptation, when the user mentions infringement/copyright, or when the source is a known/commercial work.

Non-Negotiable Gate

Do not deliver an adapted script until it passes self-review and self-correction.

Automatic fail:

• The user asked for an overall/full adaptation, but the output only provides a strategy, outline, or a few sample episodes.
• A long source script is adapted into only 3-5 sample episodes without the user's explicit request for a sample only.
• The output is a close paraphrase of the source.
• The output keeps the same scene order, signature set pieces, named props, unique rules, punchline, or ending mechanism.
• Only names, era, location, professions, or genre surface have changed.
• The adapted work could substitute for the source in the same market.
• The work uses protected character expression, distinctive dialogue, exact plot expression, or iconic scene design from the source.
• The story logic is weaker than the source or no longer explains why viewers should keep watching.

If any automatic-fail issue appears, score below 90, revise, rerun checks, and only deliver after the score is 90+.

Five-Step Workflow

1. Source Diagnosis

Identify:

• Genre, format, episode count, and target platform.
• Main hook: the precise reason viewers continue watching.
• Emotional engine: humiliation, rescue, revenge, wish fulfillment, taboo love, survival, justice, found family, etc.
• Structural engine: secret rule, debt reversal, hidden identity, resource discovery, trial, competition, deal, chase, inheritance, investigation, etc.
• Signature protected expression: names, exact relationship setup, scene order, special props, original rules, dialogue, iconic visuals, unique twists.

Output internally or briefly in final: source hook, must-not-copy elements, and adaptable abstract mechanisms.

2. Attraction Extraction

Extract only uncopyrightable or high-level mechanisms:

• Audience desire: what fantasy or fear does the story satisfy?
• Pressure pattern: what forces the protagonist to act now?
• Escalation rhythm: how does the problem worsen?
• Payoff type: what kind of emotional release makes it satisfying?
• Character contrast: what values collide?

Do not preserve the exact expression of these mechanisms. Use them as design constraints for a new story.

3. Worldview And Identity Replacement

Replace at least four of the following, and preferably all:

• Era and social environment.
• Industry/domain.
• Core resource or MacGuffin.
• Protagonist identity, weakness, and active skill.
• Antagonist power base.
• Family/romance/social relationship web.
• Supernatural/system/business rule.
• Key locations and visual symbols.
• Ending arena and public reckoning form.

The replacement must change causality, not only vocabulary. A changed world must create different choices, scenes, obstacles, and payoffs.

4. Rebuild Plot From Causality

Build a new outline before writing script pages:

• New premise in one sentence.
• Protagonist want, wound, skill, and first active choice.
• Antagonist want and pressure method.
• Rules planted before use.
• Three to five escalation turns.
• Midpoint discovery or irreversible choice.
• Climax that pays off the new world, not the source scene.
• Ending emotional value.

Only after this outline passes logic review, write the full script.

5. Consistency And Originality Check

Before final delivery, run:

• Story logic audit.
• Speaker/character motivation audit.
• Setup/payoff audit.
• World-rule consistency audit.
• Originality distance audit.
• Copyright-risk audit.
• Shootability audit.

Report the final score. If below 90, revise before showing the user.

Output Formats

For full script adaptation:

1. 改编策略说明
2. 原作吸引力机制
3. 避险替换表
4. 原创世界观与人物小传
5. 原创故事梗概
6. 分集大纲
7. 剧本正文
8. 自查自纠报告与评分

Full adaptation means full delivery:

• If the source has a known episode count, create the adapted work at the same episode count unless the user explicitly asks to compress or expand.
• If the source is a long drama and the user asks for overall adaptation, do not stop at "前5集样稿", "pilot sample", or "partial sample".
• A strategy plus first episodes is acceptable only when the user explicitly asks for a proposal, direction test, or sample.
• For a 70+ episode source, deliver a 70+ episode adapted outline and a full script body or clearly ask the user to choose between "full script now" and "direction sample only" before writing.
• If time or context requires staged work, write a complete file-based deliverable plan and begin the full script file; do not present the partial sample as the final adapted result.

For planning only:

1. 可保留的抽象爽点
2. 必须替换的高风险元素
3. 三套原创改编方向
4. 推荐方案
5. 风险说明

Self-Score Rubric

Minimum deliverable score: 90/100.

• Hook extraction and audience value: 15
• Original worldview and causality: 20
• Character motivation and active choices: 15
• Conflict escalation and payoff: 15
• Setup/rule consistency: 10
• Copyright-risk distance: 15
• Dialogue, format, and shootability: 10

If copyright-risk distance is below 12/15, the total score cannot exceed 89.

Final Delivery Requirements

Always include a concise self-check:

• What was extracted from the source.
• What was replaced or rebuilt.
• Why the new version is not merely a renamed copy.
• Whether the adapted output is complete or only a sample. If it is only a sample, this must match the user's explicit request.
• Final score.
• Remaining risk or recommended legal/licensing note when relevant.
