Background

In one sentence: a viral talking-head video = "a topic that touches ordinary people's own lives" × "a clear emotional stance" × "a 3-second hook built from contrast / a number / a question" × "one persona or scene memory point that can be reused long-term".

Why it is built this way

Five items, one point each, three points to proceed. The scoring exists to produce refusals: a macro topic that never touches a wallet lands mid-tier however large the numbers are, and the one counter-example in the file is a five-year plan opened through what it means for ordinary people. The five items are scored before a word is written, so the answer arrives as a number instead of a feeling.

Style is fixed before the script because the six cards are keyed to topic type, and each carries a benchmark account and a title pattern. Writing first and picking a style afterwards produces an opening from one account over a body from another. The delivery also names the viral piece that supports the choice, with its like count, since a claim about what goes viral is otherwise unchecked.

Where it bites

• A macro topic with no personal hook A topic about rates or a foreign war gets written because the numbers are large, and it scores zero on relevance to ordinary life, one on timeliness, and lands under three. The angle that touches a wallet is what the file asks for, and the score is what makes the refusal explicit.
• Two styles in one script The opening is a 5-character question from one benchmark account and the body runs in aphoristic sentences from another, so the piece reads as neither. One topic type maps to one style card, and the script follows that account's sentence patterns from the first line to the last.
• A claim with no sample behind it The delivery says this kind of topic can go viral and cannot point at a specific viral piece or a like count. Every conclusion has to point back to a sample from the benchmark account, and naming that piece is the last step of the workflow.
• A hook built from none of the five patterns The first three seconds open on background, which matches no question, no reversal, no number, no emotion word and no fixed persona, so the viewer has no reason to stay. The five hook patterns are applied to the opening, after the style is fixed.

When to use it

Topic judgment and writing playbook for Douyin talking-head voiceover, benchmarked against six measured accounts. Given a candidate topic, first run the five viral factors to decide whether it is worth doing, then pick one of six style tiers by topic type (benchmarked on <CREATOR_1> / <CREATOR_2> / <CREATOR_3> / <CREATOR_4> / <CREATOR_5> / <CREATOR_6>), and finally generate the opening with the five title-hook patterns. Use when the user asks 'is this topic worth doing', 'what style should I write this voiceover in', 'give me a voiceover title / hook', 'which account should I benchmark', or 'reference the writing style of <CREATOR_1> / <CREATOR_2> / <CREATOR_3> / <CREATOR_4> / <CREATOR_5> / <CREATOR_6>'.
