Gaffer.
A profession that most people have heard of, but few really understand.
When I say "I am a lighting engineer", most of the reactions are as follows -
Small Theater 1
My mother called to care about my work:
"My dear, how are you doing at work recently? I heard from my friend that you do performances, lighting, etc., And the salary is quite high?"
I laughed out loud while tightening the screws on the light stand on the stage:
High salary? Yes, there are indeed people with a monthly salary of 20,000.
It's just that - that person is not me.
That was the old lighting director from our team who was eating instant noodles backstage on New Year's Eve.
He hasn't taken a leave of absence once a year.
Small Theater 2
When you visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, you are asked about your occupation.
"Wow, so fashionable!"
"Then do you know any celebrities?"
"Can you get me an autograph?"
I was silent for a moment and nodded.
Really know——
Get to know the back of their heads.

I like to watch performances, not limited to musicals, concerts, stage performances,,,
Every time I go to the scene, I am often drawn into my emotions by the lighting of the scene. That feeling is very beautiful. This article is like a thank you letter.
Like thanking all the behind-the-scenes workers for every perfect performance they present to us.
No one's efforts are ever in vain.
