自言自语#3: 好莱坞的大人都挺奇怪的 / Talking to Myself #2: Adults in Hollywood are kinda weird
好莱坞的大人都挺奇怪的,不管是他们是以何种方式、何种办法、何种走到这里,如果在这里有自己的一席之地,一定是某方面技巧惊艳卓伦。可以是任何的事情,包括开freak off的能力,和屯baby oil的能力。但也可能是极度政治正确的能力、不断cycle through过去几十年仅有的那不到十个genre、和三幕或者五幕的能力、或莫名其妙从独立杀入奥斯卡的能力。
所有人都很清醒,这不是生活、是工作。私底下,有的人很private,有的人很疯狂,有的人有特殊癖好,但大家相互不打扰。我也不确定这是好还是不好。
ChatGPT Translation:
Hollywood adults are pretty strange. No matter how they got here—by what method, what path—if they’ve carved out a place for themselves, it’s because they’re exceptionally skilled at something. That “something” can be anything—from knowing how to freak off at the right time, to hoarding baby oil like a pro.
But it can also be the ability to be hyper-politically correct, or to endlessly cycle through the same ten genres from the past few decades using either the three-act or five-act structure, or that inexplicable talent for leaping from indie obscurity straight into the Oscars.
Everyone’s pretty clear-eyed—this isn’t life, it’s work. Privately, some are very reserved. Some are wild. Some have unusual kinks. But people don’t interfere with one another.
I’m not even sure if that’s a good thing or not.
