【你找到二十一前的我嗎?】Me 21 Years Ago
第一天到片場時,我穿著我衣櫃裡最漂亮的連身裙,把頭髮set得特別好看。導演助理選了幾個臨演拍成一排。導演走上走下看了幾眼後,就選了我,然後我就被工作人員帶入化妝室。她們一邊為我補妝時,一邊很興奮的說,哇,你待會兒有一句台詞耶!很難得耶!你好幸運被選上!
那是我第一次參與電影演出,但我沒有什麼特別的感受。我還在上大學,心裡只想賺多點零用錢。拍的時候,三四個take就完成了,彷彿就是一場夢。
每個人的人生都會有意外收穫的時候。我們可以以這些收穫來勉勵自己,但最重要的是不要自滿於自己的「幸運」而懈怠。
看回以前的自己,說不定那已經奠定了我二十一年後會頻頻拍片,有自己「電視台」的因緣,而且這一次絕對不會只講一句台詞了。
一直都準備好的人,隨時都可以為自己製造機會。

Can you find me in the movie?
It was my first day on the set and I chose to wear the prettiest work dress in my wardrobe. I made special effort to style my spiky hair very well. The director’s assistant lined up a few extras. The director walked up and down scrutinising the few of us. He picked me and I was hastily pulled into the make-up room by the staff. The make-up artistes did my make-up and excitedly told me. Wah, you will get to speak a one line of script. How rare! You’re so lucky to be picked!
I had done advertorials. That was my first time taking part in a movie production but I had no special feeling about it. I was still a University student wanting to make some pocket money. Three or four takes later, it was all over, very much like a dream.
Every one of us have such unexpected lucky moments in life. We can use such moments to encourage ourselves but don’t get all obsessed about your luck that you slack in your efforts
Looking back at those times 20 years ago, I guess it laid the path that will lead to me having my own TV channel and making many videos. But this time round, it will not be just a one liner. 😁
The door of opportunity will always open for the well-prepared one.
