魔鬼诗篇（2005）

And you could hear girls in the audience screaming, “Yes!”
这就是Daniel热
It was Daniel mania.
(SINGING) Tell me now
Tell Me Now-Daniel Johnston
Oh
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
观众们嚎得捶胸顿足
JEFF: The audience was stomping and screaming.
你可以感受到整个地板都在震颤
You could feel the entire floor shaking.
(SINGING) When they said that love was dead
Tell Me Now-Daniel Johnston
They were just playing with your head
Love is real
That’s the way that I feel
I love you
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Do you really love me?
Tell me now
谢谢大家
Thanks a lot.
那晚他真的演嗨了
BILL: He was the hit of that show.
只有他一个人得到了全场观众的起立鼓掌
(CHUCKLING) He got standing ovations. Nobody else did.
但在那时，他只是觉得有点好玩
But then, he was feeling funny.
他演出完我们立刻就走了
BILL: And right after his last performance we left.
没有接受任何采访
We passed up interviews and we left.
Bill，我听说了全场的起立鼓掌，我特意留了当时的录像
Daniel是当晚绝对的明星
好吧…
Well…
本来不应该是这样的，他其实在偷偷停药
It shouldn’t have happened, but Dan was secretly ducking his medicine.
药我都给他了，但他把药扔了
I was giving it to him, but he was chucking it.
据报纸上说….
他认为自己是美国队长
美国队长？
Captain America?
在飞机上…
不，他以为自己是鬼马小精灵，他当时正好在看鬼马小精灵的漫画书
No, he thought he was Casper. He was reading a Casper comic book.
封面有张图片
There’s a picture on the front of the book,
是鬼马小精灵和一个降落伞
of Casper and a parachute.
然后Daniel决定要跳伞求生
And Dan decided, “Let’s bail out.
他说我们一起从飞机上跳下来吧，我拒绝了
“Let’s jump out.” I said, “No. We can’t do that.
说我们没有降落伞，那一刻他又出神了
“We don’t have any parachutes.” So his mind was gone.
不知道什么时候他把钥匙拔了出来
Eventually, he took the key out,
关掉了发动机引擎，把钥匙扔到了窗户外面去
turned the engine off, and threw the key out the window.
你是怎么让飞机恢复平稳的
FEUERZEIG: How did you recover the flight?
唔，他抓着手柄，硬是把我挤开了
Well, he grabbed the controls, took the plane away from me.
他力气比我大
He’s stronger than me.
飞机被弄得直上直下的
We were kind of going straight up and then straight down.
但最终还是及时放手让把控制权还给了我
But he kind of let go in time for me to get it out of the spin.
飞机下面一望无垠只有树
Nothing down there but trees.
幸好我学过怎么在树上迫降
(CLEARS THROAT) But I’d had training on ditching in trees,
我没有设法停机，而是直接飞到了树上，卡在俩大树中间
so I didn’t stall it in, I flew it into the trees, between two big ones.
还是安全获救了
And we got out safe.
但整部飞机完全报废
But the plane was a total loss.
亲人把我们弄了下来
The family came and got us, got me.
再次把Daniel送进医院关了五个月
We put him in a hospital and left him there for five months.
你看这就是他，挺开心的
There’s Dan. He’s had a good time,
他觉得这很好玩，这样呼天抢地的迫降
because he thought that was great, coming down in a spin.
他的想法已经异于常人了
He was all mixed-up.
还以为自己做了什么好人好事，大家会给他挂大红花
He felt like he did something good and he wanted us to be proud of him.
这是他被送进急救室的照片
There’s Dan being rolled into the emergency room.
路上经过了一个教堂
They passed a Church of Christ,
他爸他哥都要吓死了
and to Bill and Dick’s amazement,
因为看到教堂的告示板上写着一句话
this sign was on the Church of Christ bulletin board out front.
上帝许诺安全着陆，但不保证安宁航行
“God promises a safe landing but not a calm voyage.”
(DANIEL SINGING) In the sky
Spirit World Rising-Daniel Johnston
The number seven
The Devil defeated
The new Jerusalem
可能魔鬼真的偷了我的魂
如果不这么去想的话
我就再也不能追求我的音乐事业了
撒旦知道我隐秘的小秘密，就是我特想出名，知道吗
他也真的让我大红大紫了
我也不得不为此付出了太多额外的代价
(歌♥唱赞美诗)
他们全家在1991年搬去了德州的沃勒
JEFF: The Johnstons moved to Waller, Texas in late 1991
我记得Daniel简直是立刻就开始出现问题
and I believe Daniel began having some problems fairly immediately
再次被送进奥斯汀州立医院
and ended up back in the Austin State Hospital.
在他这日益飞升的成名之路上
During this time his career continued to reach for the stars.
各种乐队开始不断翻唱他的歌♥
Bands were covering his songs left and right.
涅槃的柯特科本穿了有Daniel画作的T恤
Kurt Cobain of the band Nirvana wore his T-shirt on MTV
在MTV颁奖仪式上
at the MTV Music Awards Show
成千上万的人看到了
which was seen by millions of people.
这衣服他其实穿了蛮久了
He had had the shirt for a few months.
显然，是我先把这件衣服送给了一个作家
Apparently, a writer that I had given the shirt to,
叫做Everett True，是这个人把衣服给了柯特科本
a guy named Everett True, had given it to Kurt.
之后我们才意识到，他不只是在上电视的时候穿一下
And the next thing you know, he’s wearing it not only on national TV
他去哪都穿
but everywhere he goes.
在接下来的几个月，他拍的每一张照片里
And over the next several months, every single photo shot he did,
他都穿着这件衣服
he was wearing this shirt.
托他的福，Daniel突然获得了极强的舆♥论♥宣传
And just a tremendous amount of publicity came Daniel’s way due to this.
大家一下子都知道Daniel是谁了
Suddenly everybody knew who Daniel was.
完全不敢相信一件衣服就能激起如此大的认知度
It was just incredible that a T-shirt could fuel this kind of a frenzy. Um…
很多人都特别喜欢这件T恤
The T-shirt had many, many thousands of fans
他们想知道更多背后的故事
that wanted to know more about the T-shirt.
想听到它，看到它
And wanted to hear the T-shirt, and see the T-shirt
去深入了解它
and get to know the T-shirt.
与此同时，Daniel还是被关在医院里，完全不知道涅槃是个什么东西
Meanwhile, Daniel’s in a hospital and has no idea who Nirvana even is.
几天之后，有个叫Terry Tolkin的人打电♥话♥找我
And within a matter of days, I get a call from a guy named Terry Tolkin,
他是厄勒克特拉唱片艺人与制♥作♥部的经理
who’s an A&R executive for Elektra Records.
我们聊了很久，然后在快结束的时候他说
And we got into a long conversation that ended with him saying,
我们真的很想把Daniel签下来
“Well, I’d really like to sign Daniel.”
Terry和我一起待了几天，讨论了所有的事项
Terry and I met for a couple of days, hung out and discussed everything
那些需处理商榷的事项
that needed to be discussed.
最后还是到了带他去医院见Daniel的时候
And then it was time to take him over to the hospital and meet with Daniel.
我们坐在接待室
And we sat in the waiting room,
Daniel出来和我们聊了大概30，45分钟，关于商业事项
Daniel came out, and we had a business meeting for about 30, 45 minutes,
作为了一个精神病院会谈，我们真的算聊的投机的
and it went as well as a meeting can possibly go in a mental institution
一个厂牌副总裁和一个精神病患者
between a vice president of a record label and a patient.
我们想尝试拟一个合同
We were trying to structure a contract
合同条款有考虑到他当下的艰难处境
that took his delicate situation into consideration.
一个主流厂牌签约精神病患者，这种事实在难得一见
It’s not every day that a major label signs somebody who’s in a mental institution.
他们想挖掘Daniel能产出的最大价值
They were looking out for Daniel’s best interests.
合同里面有一条就是关于他的精神状况——要求提供治疗
There was a clause in there about his mental health, about providing a doctor,
因此他还不用必须去参加巡演
about how he would never have to tour,
哪怕他没法宣传唱片也可以避免被解雇
about how he could never be dropped for failure to promote a record.
他们是在寻求一个长♥期♥的合作
And they looked at it as a long-term project.
并不只是一纸条约，而是成为终身事业
It wouldn’t be just one record, it would be a career.
这可能是有史以来最照顾艺术家利益的单方面合同了
It was probably the most one-sided contract in the favor of artists’ rights
破天荒第一回
that had ever been drawn up, up until that time.
显然现在要做的是赶紧让Daniel情况好转起来，好让他出院
We obviously had to get Daniel well, get him out of the hospital.
而且就在接下来的几个月，他的情况一直在改善
And over the next few months, Daniel continued to improve,
但还是十分缓慢
but it was very slow.
我们一直在等，对他有求必应
We bided our time, did what we could for him
等着他终将被释放的那天
and just kept waiting for the day when he would be released.
大西洋唱片的Yves Beauvais也一直在和我接触
Yves Beauvais of Atlantic Records contacted me around that time,
想方设法打探Daniel的现状
wanting to know what was Daniel’s situation.
我跟他说，我们已经和厄勒克特拉签了
And I told him, “Well, we’re fairly close to signing with Elektra.”
大西洋唱片的老板Danny Goldberg
His boss, Danny Goldberg, who was the head of Atlantic Records,
是柯特科本的前经纪人
formerly worked with Kurt Cobain as their manager.
虽然对Daniel的音乐不是很熟悉
And he wasn’t familiar with Daniel’s music,
但他认识这个穿T恤的人（柯特科本）啊
but he certainly knew who the guy in the T-shirt was.
突然间，有人开始为Daniel而竞标了
And the next thing you know, I’ve got a bidding war on my hands.
他还关在精神病院里
Daniel’s in a mental hospital
而两家主流唱片公♥司♥为签约他大打出手
and I’ve got two major labels trying to outbid each other.
一下子，我们甚至有赚上十万美金的可能性了
Suddenly, we’re looking at a $100,000 possibility.
自从Daniel出院后，我一直在为他寻求帮助
Once Daniel was released from the hospital, I was trying to get help for him.
和他爸妈协商，给他预约诊疗
I was working with his parents, trying to make doctor’s appointments for him.
Daniel觉得自己特别好，根本不需要去看病
And Daniel thought he was fine. He did not want to see the doctor.
厄勒克特拉这时想要他签约
And Elektra wanted him to sign this contract
可Daniel再次陷入偏执多疑的境地
and Daniel was paranoid about that.
他害怕厄勒克特拉也是撒旦的一份子
He was afraid that Elektra was Satanic.
额，他们签了一个乐队叫做买♥♥塔里卡
Um, they had a band on their roster called Metallica.
Daniel担心自己会被买♥♥塔里卡活活打死
He was concerned that they were going to beat him and kill him.
他没法确定自己是否安全
And he could not be convinced that he was safe.
买♥♥塔里卡有首关于野兽的歌♥
讲的是所有人都将接受非圣徒或死兽的标记
