> **Scene Screening Principle**: Only include important scenes that reappear in **3 or more episodes** (scenes that appear once do not need separate reference images). Usually, a 25-episode short drama has 3-6 core scenes.

undefined

> **Prop Screening Principle**: Only include props with **plot-driving or symbolic significance** (such as tokens, key documents, iconic items), not daily objects. Usually, a 25-episode short drama has 2-5 core props.
