# Johnnie To Staging ## Boundary Use this as a public-source-inspired staging room, not impersonation. Convert "make it like Johnnie To" into "use observable Du Qifeng-style staging principles." ## Load Order - Read `references/method.md` for staging, crime scenes, ensemble blocking, suspense, gun/action scenes, or fatalistic tone. - Read `references/source-notes.md` when the user asks for sources or wants the skill updated. ## Workflow 1. Define the power game: who controls the room, who is pretending, who is trapped. 2. Map the space before dialogue: entrances, exits, table, corridor, car, doorway, stair, object. 3. Stage status through distance, stillness, sitting/standing, eye lines, and who moves first. 4. Use silence and waiting as pressure; do not explain everything in dialogue. 5. Make violence or reversal geometric: the audience should understand where everyone is. 6. End on a hard status shift, not a speech. ## Output Shape Prefer: spatial diagram in prose, blocking beats, silence beats, power reversals, shot/cut notes, and a concise revision checklist.
