事以密成

很多朋友問我:「你點樣可同時做咁多事?在大學教書、做研究、每日寫專欄、做兩個節目主持、還要寫書、鑽研養生、上跳舞堂、又玩Pilates、竟還有時間跟老友吃喝玩樂?」 我無秘笈,但一直奉行:相信自己,多做事少說話,毋須徵求太多意見。「事以密成,語以泄敗」,「做」緊要過「講」。何解? 一、當一個人將計劃公布天下,大腦會產生一種「假成功感」,以為自己已做了一半,這反而減低真正行動的動力。講得多,實則得把口。 二、意見太多=噪音太多,未開始就問勻全世界,七嘴八舌,聽完仲亂。失敗原因,八字總括:太多聲音,太少行動。 三、不想看到別人成功,人性也。有些人自己做不到,亦見不得別人做得到。十劃未有一撇就急張揚,只會引來「關心」(即質疑)、「建議」(即潑冷水),甚至暗中破壞。做實事者,宜默默做,成事才亮相,乃最大保護。 那即是如何實踐呢? 一、雖然沉默是「金」,但行動才是「鑽石」:行動最實際,遇到問題才請教前輩、有經驗者或專家。 二、信自己:當事人往往知道點做,只是不夠膽或扚唔起心肝。與其問人「我應不應該?」,不如問自己「我最差可以點收科?」。心裏有底,評估風險,權衡得失,放膽去做。 三、用結果說話:成功毋須沾沾自喜向人講解如何成功;失敗更不必向人解釋,只對自己交代便是。 由今日開始,不妨試下:一、想健身,靜靜地報班,三個月後先post相。二、想進修,完成課程才張揚。三、想創業,計劃書寫好未?未仔細想好每一步如何執行就急於向人講,那就只是閒聊吹水(吹牛)而已。 這是我多年的觀察:成功的人,習慣在沉默中積累;失敗的人,習慣在喧嘩中虛耗。與其問一百個人如何走路,不如自己靜靜地站起來走走試試。事,密成;語,泄敗。共勉之。 撰文 : 利嘉敏 欄名 : 攻關女子 Source link

《731》 的落差

一如所料,電影《731》的話題性爆滿,開畫首周末全中國戲院排片比例超過七成,全國票房超過九成也是來自此片,但以影片質素而言,相信口碑一出,熱度便難以為繼。 好大機會,會由此前預計的三十億元(人民幣,下同),埋單時跌至十幾億元。超過十億元倒不是問題,以此片總體片質而言,可說已是賺到,它的話題營銷方式比電影本身好太多了。 中國內地的評價也顯兩極,購票平台常有些數據可參考,如負面評價比正面的多一倍。而讚的理由也不無特別,例如說在毋忘歷史大是大非前,拍得出來已是勝利,要肯定製作方的努力。又會斥責給此片差評的人為漢奸,收了日本人錢等。 但撇除這些情緒和意識形態討論,以實際影片製作水平而言,《731》最大的問題是期待落空,它包含了多種可能的類型元素,但全部都做得不夠,以及有大偏差,令觀眾失望可想而知。 如果抱着愛國激情進場,會發現場面處理方面,有不少日本文化元素,甚至懷疑創作人都頗為欣賞不同的日本傳統文化美學,例如有和式打扮歌伎,有日本的祭典等。對日本女軍官的描寫也十分曖昧。如果抱獵奇心態諗着看核突場面進場(像當年看港版《黑太陽731》),又會發現這些場面不多,而且沒太大震撼力。 最大問題是,若本着嚴肅心態想看這段歷史和場景如何再現的話,又會發現,它其實沒有太多有關這實驗基地的描述,整個故事只是集中在姜武所演的角色如何試圖帶領眾人「逃獄」,但當中又加入了超現實,充滿舞台感和各種莫名其妙的自以為有風格的元素(例如各種幻想場面,如被關的人開心地飛離現場;誇張失實的場景設計,譬如有個通天藥材庫),的確令觀眾看得不知所措。 撰文 : 李照興 欄名 : 中國新呢 Source link
