開麥拉

By 蔡卓妍

如何做一個淑女充滿學養選港姐級數
精於社交生存有道
如何做一個烈女開放外向跳着辣身舞
適應熱潮扮相風騷
隨着你一出生即開機 一出生必需交戲
一出生需要忠於戲份無論性格分歧
分不出尊卑 一分身飾演幾角
幾多的對白真心發自你
跟敵人同場現身握手要演技
跟舊時情人聚餐和諧是演技
先決是遺忘自己 花一日排練準備
小鏡頭閃也沒法避
如何做一個伴侶體貼伴侶專一可終老
打點滿屋家頭細務
如何做一個白領裝作上進要日夜跑數
工作熱誠為了交租
憑自己多一些的心機 多一些揣摩心理
一出出戲劇天天揭幕無用買戲飛
輪流地開心加傷悲 芭芭拉一般好戲
多一些履歷應該更入戲
多十年悠長曆史的方法演技
多廿年葡萄烈酒才提煉酒味
給歲月提煉自己 將生活融合天地
將世情演化成戲味
如何做好孝順女尊敬父母伸出手擁抱
幾多歲都裝成細路
如何做好你自我依照自我快樂或鼓譟
不理別人話你糟糕
當往日主角是你不要造作招呼這觀眾
忠於你的生存態度
如何做好這幕戲天賦未夠靠歷練深造
肥皂劇成為習慣悲歡愛恨分開結合相差也沒一分毫
