Behind the scenes at most outdoor stages the actors just had a trunk and a few packs of cards, and the way they smoked, chewed betel nut, or went off for a late supper all dishevelled, gave audiences the impression they were nothing but 'drama jobs,' never mind being ready to appear at cultural happenings.
一探一般野台後台，藝人大多仍是一隻戲箱，幾副四色牌，你刁香煙，我咬檳榔，或衣衫不整就下台吃消夜，使得一般觀眾仍對他們存著「做戲仔」的看輕，這樣的形象就更遑論打開文化場演出了。
