你肯定看过曼凯维奇导演的《无情世家》

你的剧本就让我想到了这部电影
That’s exactly what your script reminded me of.
力量的挣扎
The power struggle,
-围绕主题的斗争 -对
the fight for relevance. Yeah. Yeah.
你可能觉得这话有点疯狂
And you’re gonna think this sounds a little crazy,
但从某些方面 它就是《李尔王》
but in some ways, it’s king lear.
它就是《李尔王》 没错
It’s king lear. Yeah, exactly.
我就知道你会理解
See, I knew you’d understand
我想在这部片子里表达的东西
what I’m trying to do with this film.
是啊

大卫 我都不知道该说什么了
David, I don’t know what to say exactly,

我非常想参与你的戏

那就好 如果你还有别的问题
Okay, well, if you have any other questions
或者想聊聊 给我打电♥话♥就好
or you just wanna talk, give me a call.
或者你想让我…试戏
Or if you’d like me to, uh… to read…
你不用跟我试戏
You don’t need to read for me.
当然不用了
Of course not.
而且我也不会试戏的
And obviously, I’m not going to.
当然了
Obviously.
但是你肯定也有点想看我试戏的吧?
But I bet a part of you would love to hear me read, right?
怎么会不想呢?
I mean, why wouldn’t you?
如果我是你 我就想看
If I were you, i’d want to hear it.
-我不想让你试戏 真的 -好吧
Seriously, I don’t want you to read. Okay.
这是我的车 我得走…
Anyway, this is me, so I’m gonna…
是这样的 我要给你试戏
Well, you know what? I’m gonna read.
“这事已成定局 吉米
“It’s a foregone conclusion, Jimmy.”
大脑给身体发送指令
“It takes 13 milliseconds for the human brain”
只需要13毫秒
“to send a message to the body.”
所以当你的子弹击中我的时候 我的大脑皮层

已经把信♥号♥♥发送给了用来扣动扳机的
“will have transmitted a signal to the 17 healthy muscles”
17块毫发无损的肌肉
“that operate my trigger finger.”
你还来不及菊花一紧
“And before your asshole has had a chance to pucker up,”
你的脑浆
“your medulla oblongata”
早就溅在你身后的墙上了
“will be splattered on a fucking wall behind ya.”
如果这是我在这颗美丽的绿色星球上
“And if that’s the last thing I accomplish”
能完成的最后一件事
“on this beautiful green earth,”
那我会说: ‘哈 这他妈真是最好的告别’”
“well, then, ha, I say, ha, what a way to fucking go.”
我的天
Holy shit.

我只是说 你应该有点策略
I’m just saying, you could be a little more strategic.
多做点符合影星身份的选择

就像迈尔士·戴维斯跟我说的 (注:美国音乐家 爵士乐演奏家)
It’s like miles Davis told me…
“有时候你不演奏的音符 才是最重要的”
“Sometimes, it’s the notes you don’t play.”
迈尔士·戴维斯是个毒鬼
Miles Davis was a heroin addict.
我喜欢他 他是个音乐大♥师♥
I mean, I love him, he was a maestro,
但我现在很开心
but I’m happy,
我工作的时候状态很健康 我是个演员

所以你对你的事业现状并不满意?
So, you’re not happy with how your career is going
但你好像一直在不断拍戏啊
because you seem to be working all the time.
我不觉得这是事业 只是一份工作
Well, I never viewed it as a career, only as work.
这有什么不对吗?
And what’s wrong with that?
在其它行业
I mean, in any other job,
勤劳工作是美德
hard work is something to behold,
怎么在电影业 就变成了
but with film performance,
“尼克 你拍的电影太多了”
“you’re making too many movies, Nick.”
“尼克 你接的戏太多了”
“You’re working too hard, Nick.”
“尼克 要留给观众想念你的时间”
“Have the audience miss you more, Nick.”
拜托 这是我的工作
I mean, “hello, it’s my job.”
我要付账单
“I pay my bills.”
我要养家糊口 你们太烦人了
“I feed my family. You’re annoying.”
天呐
My gosh!

Yeah.
所以你担心的是什么 尼克?
So, what’s the worry here, Nick?
你怕自己失去作为演员的
You’ve lost some of your ability,
天赋和才能?
your talent as an actor?
不是
No.
呃…

How do you think your dad’s anxiety
对你造成了什么影响?
over his career has affected you?

Well, his career is pretty much
我们唯一的聊天话题
the only thing we talk about.
不是聊他的工作 就是他逼我看老电影
That or he makes me watch old movies,
然后再一起讨论
and then discuss them.
所谓的“讨论” 就是他给我上两个小时的课
Which is really just him lecturing me for two hours.
是对话 更像是一场对话
It’s a conversation. It’s more of a conversation.
他让我看了一部奇葩的老电影
He made me watch this bizarre old movie.
