后山漫雾

Believe that some people are born for the stage.

Reality is the stage. Life is like a play, and a play is like life. The reality of life is an improvisational performance. It is a performance without a script, full of random variables, requiring you to respond flexibly.

There are four stages of learning to perform: the stage of liberating one's nature, the stage of self-awareness, the stage of extensive learning, the stage of repetitive training, and the stage of skilled control.

Performance must be accurate, coherent, real, and specific. Performance is the process of personifying and embodying thoughts and souls, making real actions in a fictitious environment.

You must immerse yourself and let the audience immerse themselves. You must have a sense of identity with yourself and make the audience identify with you. You must have a sense of involvement and let the audience feel involved. You must enter the play and also make the audience enter the play.

Performance has general skills and specialized skills; it depends on who you want to "become." Whether playing a wealthy merchant, a politician, or a speaker, to perform well, there are essential factors, and a good improvisational performance is the result of these factors.

You must truly listen, truly see, and truly feel. You need to integrate performance into your blood and become one with it. You must have confidence, a sense of belief, willpower, liberate your nature, be relaxed, focused, and have control. You must discard distractions, let go of everything irrelevant, be fully committed, and have patience.

The most painful thing in life is not the performance itself, but the internal mental exhaustion outside of the performance. Living is tiring, also because performance consumes a lot of time, energy, and effort, and the final performance effect is uncertain.

Others are the audience, and they are also your performance partners. Never perform a solo act; you must learn to interact with others.

Life is a performance, and living is the stage. To perform well, you must go through a process of understanding and familiarity. Reading, observing people, and traveling are all good ways to understand and become familiar with the stage. The deeper the understanding and the more familiar you become, the more relaxed and at ease you will be, and the stronger your control will be. The stronger your control, the more adept you will be in front of the camera, leading to a better final presentation.
