## Prompt

```text
A realistic split-screen cinematic shot of {scene}, showing the same {gender} appearing in two different eras: {era_a} on the left and {era_b} on the right.
If a reference image is uploaded, match her or his exact face, including facial features, hairstyle, hair accessories, skin tone, and body shape.

Left side ({era_a}):
The  {gender} appears fully visible (face + upper body). She or his wears clothing, hairstyle, and accessories authentic to {era_a}, fitting the historical setting.
Environment, architecture, materials, vehicles, props and lighting must all belong to {era_a}.
Atmosphere feels nostalgic and historically accurate.

Right side ({era_b}):
The same  {gender} （same age, same face, same body proportions) appears fully visible (face + upper body) in {era_b}.
She or he wears contemporary or era-appropriate fashion from {era_b}, with matching modern props, technology, surroundings, and lighting.

Center area:
The two eras merge organically, with no hard dividing line.
Architectural elements, clothing textures, and props subtly transition from old to new.
The ｛Gender} in each era may glance toward the other side, creating a sense of time-travel and self-encounter.

Photorealistic, cinematic lighting, ultra-detailed textures, high realism, 8k quality.
Aspect Ratio: {aspect_ratio}
