Chapter 109 who is not a layman

The famous female singer Marianne Faithfull (Marianne Faithfull) in the 1960s starred in the movie "Elena's Palm" a few years ago.In the movie, a widowed old lady in her fifties needs money urgently because her grandson is sick, so she goes into the sea to make money. In the end, she not only makes enough money for her goal, but also wins her love.It's a pity that the audience was very dissatisfied with the most common translation of the film, "Spring in the Hole", and felt that it was too vulgar and straightforward, so they suggested changing it to "Elena", because the protagonist is a temporary cameo and is an "amateur".

Suren, the definition in the Chinese dictionary is "ordinary person".Based on this, Zhu Ziqing called himself a "pure person", thinking that he was just the most ordinary person, and gave the position of "plain person", believing that "plain person" is the fourth type of person besides "perfect man, real person, and saint". They are the majority in the world, with all the advantages and expectations of ordinary people, as well as the selfishness and cunning of ordinary people, and even surviving, narrow-minded and conservative.Therefore, in response to the "March 18" tragedy, Lu Xun wrote "In Memory of Mr. Liu Hezhen", but Zhu Ziqing wrote it, sincerely describing how he slept on the ground and pretended to be dead when he saw the soldiers taking out their guns. Had a hard time.

But our understanding of "amateur" today has changed, and it is more closely related to the meaning of Japanese. It is usually used to refer to those temporary guest performers and non-professionals.Sanmao is there, calling himself and Jose "amateur fishermen": "In the past, there were a group of people in Paris who went to work on weekdays and only painted on Sundays. They called themselves amateur painters. We fished on weekends, so we were amateur fishermen. good!" The representative figure of "amateur painter" is Rousseau, who has never received professional painting training.Before the age of forty, he worked as a tax collector at the customs. After the age of forty, he quit his job and devoted himself to painting.He also added some other elements to the "amateur painter", who has never received formal training, and relies on pure enthusiasm to learn without a teacher. Moreover, his works must present innocence and mystery that are different from those of professional painters.Therefore, "amateur painter" has an additional meaning, which not only refers to the amateur status of the painter, but also includes a generalization of a certain style of painting, which is expressed as warm, colorful, naive, and mysterious, such as Hong Tong, such as Peasant paintings and fisherman paintings.

"Amateur" is not limited to modifying artists, newcomers and guest performers in all industries can be called "amateur". "Amateurs" cannot become the mainstream of the society, nor are they likely to become the backbone of the industry, but a commercial society with normal form and sound functions should be able to provide them with a lot of opportunities, and they may also bring fresh air to an industry. The roaming survival of industries and cross-regions determines that they will bring fresh ideas and even synaesthesia in thinking to the industries they temporarily stay in.

Of course, since novices and guest star performers in all industries can be called "amateurs", AV actresses who occasionally guest star can also be treated in the same way.In fact, "amateur" has become a synonym for "non-professional AV actress" in some places. However, no matter how the meaning of the word changes, I still like the word "amateur" and like to use it to limit my current working status.An amateur is an ordinary person, a layman, an amateur who happens to make a guest appearance. "Who doesn't know a little about life?" Eileen Chang said.
