你之前几部影片毁在了自己手里
You kill your film several times.
主要是因为你对公众提及过多
Mostly by talking about it.
戏如梦境
A film is a dream.
一旦用纸笔和摄像机加以记录 它便不复存在
You kill it writing it down, you kill it with a camera,
演员们入木三分的表演
Your film might come to life for a moment or two when
也许能给影片注入一丝生气
your actors breathe life back into it,
但其终究难逃失败的宿命 无人问津
But then it dies again, buried in film cans.
干这行的奇妙之处在于 在工作室里
Mysteriously, sometimes, in the editing room…
胶片的剪辑拼合 缔造了一个个奇迹
a miracle happens when you place one image next to another
如果你足够幸运
so that when finally an audience sits in the dark
作品便能历经重重登上大银幕
if you’re lucky, very lucky,
我也被幸运垂青过
and sometimes I’ve been lucky
但现实却再次将梦境吞没
the dream flickers back to life again.
这就是我注重隐私的原因
That’s why I’m secretive.
那么 您最喜欢哪种面条
So, what’s your favorite pasta?
总算来了个靠谱的问题
Finally, a serious question.

这其实是我最短的片名了
Actually it’s my shortest title yet.
但却挺高调的 拍电影可不能虚掩声势
But hardly a modest one. – Films are not modest.
影片投资巨大 耗时漫长
They cost too much, they take too long,
凝结了许多人的心血
and they involve too many people.
必须选择有价值的主题
They should have grand titles.
