The Last of the Film Billboard Painters 碩果僅存的手繪電影看板師傅
In Tainan, an artist is trying to maintain the tradition of painted movie billboards.
在臺南,有一位藝術家試著要維持住彩繪電影看板的傳統。

   For many years, especially during the heyday of kung-fu movies, Taiwan had a tradition of hiring artists to paint billboards by hand. Today, painted posters have fallen by the wayside as most movie posters are now made with expensive computer printers. In Taiwan, 66-year-old Yan Jhen-Fa is the last movie billboard artist still working today.
  Yan’s studio is outside of the Chin Men(Chuan Mei) Theater in Tainan. Although he’s never met a film star, he’s painted thousands of them. Yan uses his brush to bring out all of the details in the star actors’ faces. He often uses bright colors to catch people’s attention. It usually takes him two to three days to finish one billboard. When he’s finished, Yan pulls a rope to lift his painting into place above the movie theater.
  Many people are afraid that technology will soon put an end to the hand-painted posters. To make sure this style of art lives on, Yan has started a school. In each class, he teaches students his painting techniques and skills. Hopefully, his students will become future masters and keep this beautiful tradition alive.

字尾為 day 的相關字彙
本文中的 heyday 為名詞,表「全盛時期,鼎盛時期」,相關用法為 in sb’s / sth’s heyday,表「某人/某事物的全盛時期」。另外,還有一個以 day 結尾的名詞為 Mayday(也作 mayday),大家一聽到這個字可能會先想到搖滾天團五月天(MayDay),但它其實是「(船隻、飛機發出的)無線電求救訊號」。例:
In their heyday, they sold as many records as all the other rock bands in the country put together.
(在他們的全盛時期,他們唱片的銷售量是這個國家中所有其他搖滾樂團唱片銷量的總和。)
Rose raced to pick up the life jackets while Jack sent out a Mayday call.
(蘿絲在傑克發出一通無線電求救訊號時急忙去拿救生衣。)

 

  許多年來,特別是在功夫電影鼎盛期間,臺灣有僱用藝術家手工繪製看板的一項傳統。現在,因為現今大部分的電影海報都是用昂貴的電腦印表機製作出來的,所以彩繪海報已被棄而不用。在臺灣,六十六歲的顏振發是當今碩果僅存且仍在工作的電影看板畫家。
  顏振發的工作室位在臺南的全美戲院外。雖然他從未見過任何一位電影明星,但是他已畫過數千位。顏振發用他的畫筆突顯出明星演員臉上的所有細微特徵。他常使用鮮亮的顏色來吸引人們的目光。他通常要花兩到三天的時間來完成一幅看板。畫完後,顏振發會拉一條繩子來把他的畫吊到電影院上方的位置。
  許多人很怕科技不久後會終結手繪海報。為了確保這種藝術風格能繼續存在,顏振發開始授課。在每堂課上,他教導學生其繪畫技術及技巧。但願他的學生會變成未來的大師並將這個美麗的傳統保存下來。
