be on a tv show

There’s a TV show in France where you get asked grammar-school-level questions (it’s actually a lot harder than it sounds!) and you could win up to 100.000€!! I would love to be on that show after I turn 18. (well, my chances aren’t great, but you can’t blame a girl for trying now, can you?) 100.000€ is enough to pay off the mortgage for my apartment, and then I could move to it right away and it’ll cost me nothing. That would be awesome!

Since day 1 of my life, I’d always dreamed of what it’d be like to be in front of the camera. I still do, I just try not to think of it so often. I know it’s just a dream that a lot of people have. Who knows, maybe I will be on TV one day. The closest I got to a talent agency was one of those that made you pay $3,000 just to take a few classes. I just don’t have that kind of money. Besides, so many celebrities get discovered just walking down the street. Sigh…if only I were one of them. I always imagine being on one of those TV shows like Law & Order or CSI. I just love those suspenseful kind of shows that I can actually learn from. But getting to be in front of the camera would be good enough for me.

The first time it is just amazing to be the guest in a tv show… But you get used to it and after tv show number 10, you do it just for the money.

I had the opportunity to participate in several TV shows and commercials while I was in China and it was only because I was one of a few foreigners living in North East China that could sing and act in Chinese. I participated every year in the Changchun Christmas Special. I also participated in the Beijing Arts in our Land Spring Festival Show, which aired in January 2004 and featured over 55 international performers living, working and studying throughout China. It was a wonderful experience. I met so many interesting and talented people from all walks of life. I think I will recount this story at a later date. During the summer of 2005, I was asked to do a two week special that involved a TV crew following me around the city for several days while they observed me going about my “daily life.” Most residents in Changchun had not had a lot of exposure to foreigners at the time, and the show really portrayed the difficulties and challenges that a person faces while living and working abroad. It was challenging and a lot of fun. Now I’m living in Taiwan and there isn’t as much of a demand for actors and actresses as there was in China. Besides, I’m not really an actress. I was just lucky to be in the right place at the right time.

It would be awesome to be on a show even if it was just for a hour! Any show I guess jus’ not something boring!
