## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a minimalist Chinese typographic movie poster with a gritty art-house aesthetic, centered on the theme of hardship and being trapped by time.

Canvas: Vertical poster, 3:4 aspect ratio, muted warm gray concrete-paper background with subtle stains, film grain, scratches, and worn texture. No border.

Layout: Place a large faint translucent English word in the background across the middle, reading “EDGE” in an elegant tall serif font, very low contrast. Over it, place two huge black Chinese characters as the main title: {main_title}. The first character sits left of center and the second sits right of center, both in a sharp, dramatic Songti/Ming-style typeface with blade-like serifs. Cover the entire poster with a foreground lattice of red distressed metal bars forming large diagonal diamond shapes, like an X-pattern barricade or construction fence. The bars must visibly pass in front of the title, with chipped red paint, rust, scratches, white scuffs, dark grime, and small highlights at intersections. Use exactly 10 prominent diagonal red bar segments crossing the canvas: 5 running from upper left to lower right and 5 running from lower left to upper right, cropped by the poster edges.

Text content: Add small black Chinese text in the top left in two lines: “导演 / 演员 / 编剧” and “中国电影作者”. Add small black Chinese text in the top right in two lines: “个人主题海报” and “锋芒叙事”. Add a centered bottom tagline in spaced Chinese characters: {bottom_tagline}. Add tiny footer text at bottom left: “主题 / 发文”. Add tiny footer text at bottom right: “概念海报 / TYPOGRAPHIC STUDY”.

Visual style: Serious cinematic poster design, restrained Chinese editorial typography, brutalist composition, high negative space, black ink title, faded gray background typography, distressed red barricade dominating the foreground, realistic texture but graphic design layout. Keep all text flat and printed, while the red bars have slight dimensionality and tactile worn paint.

Constraints: Use only the described text, keep the composition symmetrical but imperfect, preserve the Chinese characters accurately, avoid people, faces, scenery, logos, watermarks, extra decorations, or bright colors beyond red, black, and gray.
