我们没有责任去创造艺术 We have no obligation to make art.
我们没有义务去表达政治立场 We have no obligation to make political statements.
我们也没有职责去创造好的销量成绩 We have no obligation to make good records.
我们仅有的就是赚钱 We have an obligation to make money.
我的意思是，看看我穿的鞋就知道我会在乎地下丝绒乐队？ I mean, do these look like the shoes of someone who gives a fuck Velvet Underground?
地下丝绒乐队 非常著名的摇滚乐队 对摇滚乐产生深远影响

去表明政治立场 We may sometimes have to make political statements.

我们的唱片公司每年都能收到近50万的样带 Our record company receives half a million demos a year.
我们只会签其中的10个左右 We sign just ten of them.
而谁做这些决定呢？ And who makes these choices?
谁是负责在一堆糟粕中提取精华的声音 Who is responsible for dividing the wheat from the chaff
并提供给这个世界上短暂人生的你？ and providing the soundtrack to your short life on this planet?
我们这些天之骄子，被选中的精英 Us, the elite, the chosen few, the best of the best.
艺人开发和歌曲储备部门 The A&R men.
罗杰,你为什么会有一张该死的男装乐队的专辑？ Roger, why do you have a copy of the fucking Menswear album?
我几年前的时候想签他们 I looked into signing them a couple of years ago.
这里面有几首歌真不错 There's some good tunes on that.
现在是凌晨四点 It's four o'clock in the morning.
我和我的同事罗杰正在关于制作人的话题头脑风暴 My colleague Roger and I are brainstorming producer ideas.
你觉得麦克 海吉斯怎么样？ How about Mike Hedges?
不，我发现他的几处混音有点中规中矩 No. I find some of his mixes a bit middly.

没有足够的高潮部分或者说结尾也不足 Not enough top or, you know, bottom end.
那你觉得那个伦敦呼叫的制作人怎么样？他叫什么来着？ What about the guy who produced London Calling? What's his name?
- 盖 斯蒂文斯? - 是呀 -yeah
他还不错 He'd be great.
然而也有一个问题 There is a problem, however.
什么？因为他是个混蛋？ What? Is he a wanker?
那我不知道，但是他1981年就死了 I don't know. He died in 1981.
那狂怒的专辑出了什么事 What's happening with the Rage album?
谁特么知道 Fuck knows.
一切都不对了 库尔兹上校 It's all gone Colonel Kurtz.
那个疯狂的混蛋，自以为是的 The crazy bastard's up river, beyond the law.
租了一个房子6个月当录音棚一天1000英镑 Been in a residential studio for six months now at a thousand quid a day
但是大卫到现在一个音符都没听到 and David hasn't heard a fucking note yet.
-大卫不担心？ -他倒是想 - David worried? - He wants to be.
他过去的一年都干了些啥？ 签了一堆什么玩意儿 What's he done this past year? Signed a proper load of fucking turkeys.
这个狂怒新专辑最好能在ABBA获得最热专辑 This new Rage album wants to make ABBA's Greatest Hits
就像该死的音速青年一样不然他就完了 sound like Sonic fucking Youth or he's finished.
真特么恶心 Fucking nasty.
如果他滚蛋了，他们可能会让你坐上他的位置 If he goes, they might offer you his job.
什么？A&R的头儿？ What, Head of A&R?
他们倒有可能会让你坐 They might offer it to you.
不不不，会是你 No. No, you've got...
...你知道的，资历比我老 ...you know, seniority.

去年，1996年 Last year, 1996,
全英国音乐产业的销售额首次突破了10亿英镑 the turnover of the British music industry passed the billion-pound mark for the first time.
加点料 Aceed!
繁荣时期 Boom times.
仍然有很多尔虞我诈 But there's always competition.
想象一下你站在薄冰上 Imagine you're standing on wafer-thin ice.
在你的脚下你看了一看到鲨鱼群正在围着你转 Beneath your feet you can see sharks circling,
骇人的鲨鱼有着类似于皮下注射器的牙齿 terrible sharks with hypodermic syringes for teeth.
这些牙齿是你的同事，你的朋友们 These are your colleagues, your friends.
罗杰和我都活在一个不舒服的统计学结果中 Roger and I both have to live with an uncomfortable statistic:
明年的某个时候，我们俩人中的一个可能会被解雇 at some point in the coming year, one of us will probably be fired.
我并不希望这个人是我 I have no intention of it being me.
我是熊！ I'm a bear!
我是跳舞的熊！ I'm a dancing bear!
嘿！傻熊！吃了这些碟片！ Hey, bear, bear. Bear, eat CDs!
拿到了谁的，傻熊？拿到了谁的？希尔的吗？ What you got, bear?What you got? Seal?
傻熊吃了海鸥！ Bear eat Seal. Yeah.
可怜的小熊 Bear. Bear.
小熊累了，哦，小熊 Bear tired. Bear tired. Oh, bear.
所以这就是我正在做的事 So here's what I do.
我听这些音乐，来自于乐队，歌手，作曲家都可以 I listen to music, bands, singers, songwriters,
然后决定哪些人有可能得到这个成功的好机会 and decide which ones have a good chance of commercial success.
然后我出于怜悯的礼仪安排他们来录音 I then arrange for them to be recorded in a sympathetic manner
然后我们，唱片公司把这些音乐卖给你们这些普通大众 and then we, the record company, sell them to you, the general public.
这就是A&R，艺人开发和歌曲储备部门 That's A&R, artiste and repertoire.
简单？ Simple, eh?
滚吧 Get fucked.
你都坚持不到10分钟 You wouldn't last ten minutes.
杀死汝伴
在每个年代，男人从生下来起，在他们心目中 In every age, men are born who, in their hearts,
在他们黑色的血液中，都是战士 in the black of their blood, are warriors,
但是对于大多数的我们来说 已经没有太多的战争可以打了 but for most of us there are no longer wars to fight.'
早安 Morning.
这些人又想干嘛？这些蠢货 'What must they do, these men?'
- 史蒂文斯特福克斯的办公室 - 史蒂文在吗 - Steven Stelfox's office.- Steven there?
- 哦不，很抱歉他不在 - 好的，我等会儿再打 - No, I'm afraid he's not.- OK, I'll call back later.
好的再见 OK. Bye.
你有听我给你的那张EP吗？ Did you listen to that EP I gave you?
瑞典乐队，懒人乐队？ Swedish band, The Lazies?

- 不幸的职业决策啊 - 无论如何，我会试试 - Unfortunate career choice.- Anyhow, it's on my pile.

那我希望他们只限定给他们自己家听 Well, I hope they limited it to their immediate fucking family.
天啊 Christ.
看看这个 Look at this.
轰动一时的18岁万人迷艾丽被提名了三项全英音乐奖 18-year-old sensation Ellie Crush nominated for three Brits.
爱丽丝的经纪人，托尼 帕克 霍尔说 Crush's A&R Manager, Tony Parker Hall,
“我们花了两年的时间来发掘艾丽 says, 'We've spent two years developing Ellie.'
提名只是反映出了爱丽的天赋和经纪公司所为其投入的心血和努力” 'The nominations reflect her talent and all the hard work everyone at the label has put in.'
天呐 Christ.
这个混蛋说话还是这么会说话 The bastard's magnanimous no less.
我对这个乐队挺感兴趣的 There's a lot of interest in that band.
拜托 Do me a favour.
【Oasis绿洲乐队，成立于曼彻斯特 90年代英伦摇滚风格大热的重要乐队（本片背景设定在97年）】
就因为绿洲乐队火了 Fucking Oasis rock up,
那么一帮买了本披头士的谱子的曼城小毛贼 a couple of manc car thieves with a Beatles songbook,
我们就要去找独立乐队吗？ and now we all have to go finding an indie band?
听着，你在这儿的时间不长 所以德伦记住这个 Look, you haven't been here long, Darren, so remember this.
正常的人是不在乎独立乐队的 Real people don't care about indie bands.
正常人只能在他们公寓里装石头砖墙和双层UPVC窗户 Real people put stone cladding and new PVC double glazing on their council houses.
他们每年只会买四张专辑而且他们还想听到各种音乐 They buy four albums a year and they want to hear all the fucking words,
这样的人成千上万 and there are billions of the cunts.
所以，拜托，你是星探，挖掘出一些更好更火的吧 So, come on, you're the scout. Scout some proper hits.
是啊 Yeah.
- 他们是不够好，但是他们可以好好发掘 - 是啊，像讨厌的肿瘤一样 - They're rough, but they could develop. - Yeah, like a fucking tumour.
德伦，生活的意义是什么？ Darren, what is the meaning of life?
签好的乐队 Sign good bands.
做一些引以为傲的专辑吧 Make records you're proud of.
我的天 Fuck me.
早上好 Morning.
昨晚真特么棒是吗？ Fucking great night, eh?
起来就是这个样子了，天哪 State of me when I woke up. Jesus.
我在会议室等你 I'll see you in business affairs.
走吧 Oh, come on.
开会 Meetings.
就是走个形式，重要的事情基本上做不了决断 Nothing important ever got decided in a meeting.
然而，大家真正擅长的 What they are very good for, however,
就是相互陷害，侮辱，以及贬低对方 is stitching up, humiliating and belittling people.
你已经认识了坐在这里的胖子 Fat boy here you already know.
我们总经理德里克萨默斯也在 We also have Derek Sommers Managing Director.
鉴于我们总经理的乐趣在于 Given that our MD's idea of fun is paying a couple of Bethnal Green rent boys
雇几个男妓嗨翻 to kick the shit out of him,
我们公司不是以鼓励嘉奖为荣，而是相互施虐争斗，这也就不奇怪了 it's no surprise that sadism and aggression are values our company encourages and rewards.
詹姆斯崔立克,法务商务部事务负责人,无情,无礼又能干的家伙 James Trellick, Head of Legal and Business Affairs Ruthless, amoral, top bloke.
大卫施耐德,A&R负责人 David Schneider, Head of A&R.
严格意义上说，目前算是我的上司 Technically my boss, for now.
罗斯，市场部负责人 Ross, Head of Marketing.
为了唱片能进top 10，他宁愿做任何事 Would double-end his own mother with Satan to put a record in the top 10.
罗伯哈斯汀,独立制作人，常常推荐艺人 Rob Hastings, Indie type, the guy who put the um and ah in A&R.
妮基，国际部的头儿 Nikki, Head of International.
我对她提不起性趣，所以，对她我直接无视 I have no sexual interest in Nikki, so, in a way, she doesn't exist.
凯蒂，负责会议记录，崔立克的私人助理 And taking minutes, Katy, Trellick's PA.
有点意思 Doable.
嘿，我为什么还没有收到《音乐周刊》呀？ Hey, how come I didn't get my Music Week yet?
因为你不在这个圈子了 Because you don't work in the music industry.
好了，安静，大家集中注意 Okey-dokey, boys and girls Eyes down for a full house.
你们桌上都有本次会议议程 You all have a copy of the agenda in front of you.
大卫，我们狂怒的专辑制作的怎么样了 David, where are we with the Rage album?
嗯，这个，他正在混音，所以，快了 Well, yeah, he's mixing, so we're not far away now.
巡演也安排好了 Tour's booked.
斯蒂文和我下周去戛纳和他会面，再仔细核审一下预算 Steven and I are gonna meet up with him in Cannes next week to go over the budget.
很多地区在问专辑的发行日期 Got a lot of territories asking for a release date.
大卫，专辑质量怎么样 How's the record sounding, David?
德里克，你知道他的，在完成专辑前，他不愿透露一个字 Well, you know what he's like, Derek, you know, plays his cards close to his chest.
-那我们有单曲了吗 -还没呢 - Do we have a single?- Not yet, no.
你知道的，有时候，这个创作的过程，我们不能催 You know, as you know, it's... sometimes you can't rush the creative process, you know.
大卫，你知道作为公司的高层 David, as head of this label,
我想要听一下歌，这个要求不过分吧 I don't think I'm being unreasonable in asking to hear some music
更何况，我们投了一大笔钱进去了 from an act in which we have a considerable financial investment.
目前，我们已经投了48w在这张唱片上面了 We're currently? 486,000 in the hole on this record.
老实说，距离上一张唱片已经是两年前了 It's two years since the debut album and quite frankly...
等下，德里克，我们并不是什么都没有做吧 Well, hang on, Derek. It's not like nothing's been happening.
我们也努力去维持关注度 We're doing some stuff to maintain awareness.
而且大卫设计的那些新T恤看起来很棒啊 Those new T-shirts David had made look fantastic.
什么T恤? T-shirts?
什么鬼T恤? What fucking T-shirts?
这个，我是说，你知道 Oh, yeah, I mean, well, you know...
你居然为一个专辑还没出 You're making T-shirts for an artist who doesn't have an album out
欠公司50多万的人做T恤? and is half a million quid unrecouped?
-你他妈疯了吗 -不是的，德里克，我只是想 - Are you out of your fucking mind? - Yeah, but, Derek, I just thought...
我他妈不在乎你怎么想 I don't give a fuck what you thought!
我们公司现在一团糟，我们需要一些热门 We're in the shit. We need some hits.
如果在没有单曲发出来，我马上撤资 If we don't have a single soon, I'm pulling the fucking plug.
-你明白吗？ -明白，但是我 - Do you understand?- Yeah, but I...
你他妈明白了吗 Do you fucking understand?
-是的，明白了，德里克 -好的 - Yeah. Yes, Derek, yeah- OK.
好的，继续 Moving on.
罗伯 Rob.
集体发声乐队 Sound Collective.
天哪 For God's sake.
做的好 Well played.
德里克看起来比平时更生气 Derek seems even more tightly wrapped than usual.
我们确实需要一些热单，专辑发行日期也会遥遥无期 We need some hits.The release schedule's a wasteland.
如果施耐德被开除了 Well, if Schneider got fired...
我只是假设 I'm just saying.
那么，要么德里克另请高明，要么就是你来负责 Then either Derek goes out of house for a new head of A&R or it's you.
或者，我们的幸运儿在那儿呢 Or it's laughing boy there.
-沃特斯？ -讲优势，他资历比你老 - Waters?- Pros: he's a couple of years older than you.
制作专辑上比你有经验 More experience making albums.
同事们又觉得他人不错 The rank and file think he's a nice bloke.
讲劣势，他就是一个懒惰的猪脑子瘾君子 Cons: he's a lazy, brain-dead cocaine addict with the attention span of a fucking gnat
并且很长时间都没做热单的家伙 who hasn't had a hit record in donkey's.
-所以他有可能上位 -没错 - So he could get the job. - Correctos.
签一份大热单对你的事业很有帮助 Signing a nice big hit record wouldn't hurt your cause.
詹姆斯，谢谢你这耐人寻味的洞察力 Thanks for that blinding insight, James.
年轻人，人生的意义是什么？ What is the meaning of life, young Stelfox?
碾压你的敌人，听听他们女人的哀嚎 To drive your enemies before you and hear the lamentations of their women.
好小子 Good boy.
戛纳见 See you in Cannes.
我试着想象罗杰是我的上司 I tried to imagine Roger as my boss,
那个试着和男装乐队签约 Roger who tried to sign Menswear,
还以为盖斯蒂文斯活得很好 who thought Guy Stevens was living and well,
那个一觉醒来以为那晚自己想法很完美结果却是全身盖满了别人的尿液的家伙 whose idea of a perfectly normal night out involves waking up covered in someone else's piss,
但是血红色迷雾密布 but a crimson mist keeps closing in,
充血的头骨在我的视线中恍惚 a skull charge of blood keeps dimming my vision.
嘎纳国际音乐博览会 Midem.
上世纪六十年代 Back in the 1960s,
几个法国佬决定在法国南部 a couple of Frog bum boys decided to have a little music industry convention
定期举办一些音乐行业的聚会 in the South of France.
30年后，每年的一月 30 years later every January
一万个A&R突然挤到戛纳免费蹭个屁用没有的大嗨趴 10,000 A&R guys descend upon Cannes for a free-loading orgy of utter fucking nonsense.
-嗨，嗨 -丹尼 - Oi, oi!- Danny.
丹尼，丹尼润特，临时经纪人 Danny Rent, two-bob manager.
-胡扯 -安迪莱斯特伯恩，索尼公司的代表 - Bollocks!- Andy Restbourne, Sony.
玩得开心点，伙计 Having it large, mate.
一些我睡完就忘的妹子 Some cunt I did bugle with once.
过来，过来 Over here, son. Over here.
来了 coming!
安东尼·帕克·霍尔 Anthony Parker Hall.
给这种垃圾三项全英奖提名 ?Three Brit nominations for that slag?
你睡着都能笑醒吧 You having a fucking laugh?
这是谁 Who's this?
这是德伦，新的星探 This is Darren, new scout.
祝你好运 Good luck, mate.
那边之后你有什么打算 What you got going on over here, then?
今晚和德国人在Martinez见面。 Meeting with the Germans tonight at the Martinez.
-会见到你吧 -可能吧，晚点 - Probably see you out, yeah?- Yeah, later.
乡巴佬 Clown.
*我要采取些行动了* I was looking for some action
嗨，鲁迪 Hey, Rudi.
斯蒂文！ Steven!
最近怎么样 How's it going, man?
-你什么时候到的 -今天早上才到的 - When'd you get in?- Just this morning, man.
让甘瑟先来打点好，你知道的 I had Gunther fly ahead to take care of stuff, you know.
时间就是金钱，也就是这么硬派 You know me, time is money, bro. Hardcore!
-没错 -就是这么硬派 - Yeah.- Hardcore!
-嗨，斯蒂文，最近怎么样 -很好 - Hey, Steven. How are you?- I'm very good.
这是德伦，新的星探 This is Darren, new scout.
-你好，德伦，感觉怎么样 -很好- What's up, Darren? How you doing? - Yeah, good.
听我说，想找点乐子吗？ Listen, do you want me to make you happy?
-要一起嗨吗? 那当然 - Should I make you happy? - Very.
-我马上就让你体验 谢谢，鲁迪，赶快开始吧 - I'm gonna make you happy right now. - Thank you, Rudi. Crack on.
听听这个，再听听那个 Listen to this shit, man. Listen to that shit, man.
来吧 Come on, hit it.
等一下，等一下，美女们，来这儿 Hold on, hold on. Bitches, come here.
听着，都来这儿 Listen. Come here.
闭上你的臭嘴 Shut the fuck up!
1，2，3，4，开始 One, two, three, four. Hit it.
太棒了，宝贝！ Yeah, baby!
你看看，我说什么来着 Who told you? Who told you?
-我说什么来着，斯蒂文？ -是啊 - Who told you, Steven?- Yeah.
我就说嘛，兄弟，我就说是这样 I told you, man. I told you!
是的，鲁迪，有点 Yes, yes, Rudi. It's...
这是我们迄今为止在德国最热的单曲！最热的 Biggest fucking hit we've had so far in Germany, man. Biggest hit.
-真的？ -是啊 - Really?- Yeah.
-谁唱的？ -谁在乎 - Who's the singer?- Fuck the singer.
你在说什么呢，歌手? What are you talking about, the singer?
谁关心这是谁唱的 Who cares about the fucking singer?
就一个女孩在录音室录的 It's just a girl. She was in the studio.
她就像，什么来着，一只 She's like... What do you call a...
一只…麋鹿 it's a... A moose.
-麋鹿 -谁在乎这麋鹿 - Moose.- Fucking moose!
但是别担心，我会找人去和她谈谈的 But don't worry. We'll find someone to front it.
这首歌很抓耳，但是，鲁迪 It's catchy, Rudi, it's just...
-是歌词的问题吧? -是的，就是歌词问题 - It's the lyrics, right? - Yeah, exactly, Rudi.
为什么你这么死板，不懂得变通？哪里有问题了 Why are you so British, so square, man? What's wrong?
我们把这歌做了个电台剪辑版 We did a radio edit of the whole thing...
也改变了一些，副歌部分就像是 ...and we changed it and the chorus now is like..
女声歌词是什么来着 What does she say? She says like...
为什么不拍打我的屁股？ Why don't you slap me on the ass?
-也很成功啊 -效果好多了 - And it works, man.- That's much better.
听着，我把这首歌卖给你怎么样？ Listen, what do you think I'm offering it to you.
-绝对全英第一手资源 -好吧 - First hand for the UK.- Yeah.
我只要3万元的预付款 And all I need is 30,000 in advance
-以及 -15点的利润 - and...- 15.
15点的利润 15 points.
所以你觉得怎么样 So what do you reckon?
我觉得怎么样？ What do I reckon?
我觉得那首歌是继一屋子纳粹对着奥斯维辛的图纸傻乐之后 I reckon that tune is the biggest insult to humanity
对人性最大的侮辱 since a room full of Nazis chuckled over the blueprints for Auschwitz.
这完全是垃圾 It's utter garbage.
这也确切是99%的英国大众所热爱的 But this is exactly what 99% of the great British public enjoy,
这群派对动物 the fucking animals.
这种疯狂恋童癖整出来的垃圾也能取得好的成绩的 Well, that crazed paedo has as good a track record as anyone for this kind of crap,
更奇葩的事情也发生过 and stranger things have happened, mate.
所以是接受他们的条件了？ Is that a yes, then?
天哪，3W美元的预付款，mv又要花3万 What, a 30K advance, the same again for a video,
我还得做一些后期，像混音，美工，广告 I'd have to do some remixes, artwork, advertising.
这意味着要花掉我们将尽10万美元去包装这坨屎 I mean, it'll cost us something like a hundred grand to try and have a hit with that piece of shit.
这是你每次都要考虑的问题，德伦 This is what's involved every time you say yes, Darren.
签约这种事，搞不好随时让你丢饭碗 Signing records can literally cost you your fucking job.
所以我们不签啰? So we say no?
可能吧 Maybe.
天哪，你看杂志上说，单身群体占据了市场的88.9% Christ，look，88.9% share of the singles market.
辣妹组合真他妈厉害 Fucking Spice Girls.
嗨怒哥 Rage.
你好吗 很高兴见到你 How you doing? Good to see you.
-我是费舍 -你好吗 一切都好吧 - Fisher. - How you doing? You all right?
-你好 -你好 - Hi. - Hi.
所以巡演是在戛纳开始吗 So, Cannes, eh?
真棒 Great stuff.
-最近咋样啊怒哥 -嘿朋友们听我讲 - Rage, how's tricks?- Yeah, boys.
我们不想巡演了 We ain't gonna do this tour.
-为什么 但是你 -我们要先把唱片录完 - What? But you... - We're finishing the record.
我才不会为了什么狗屁巡演的排练而放弃录音 I ain't dismantling the studio to start some fucking rehearsals.
好的呀 那我们就先开始组建巡演团队吧 Well, let's hire the stuff for the tour.
听着 你觉得这家伙有长期发展的潜力吗 Look, do you believe in this guy long term?
有啊 Yes.
那当然有啊 Of course.
那这次巡演就是他以后众多巡演中的一场 对不 Then this ain't the only tour we're gonna do, then, is it?
这可是个大投资 It's an investment.
说吧要多少 How much?
-六万 -我的天 - 60 grand. - Jesus.
这次巡演的支撑预算已经够高的了 The tour support budget's high enough as it is.
你们的要求简直是 I don't think we can justify that sort of...
很好 那我想我们要取消这次巡演噜 Well, I guess we're pulling out of the tour, then.
-三万 -五万 - 30 grand.- 50.
四万 不行就算了 40, recuperable.
说定了 Fair enough.
这俩强奸犯一样的家伙居然操走了我们四万 This pair of sex offenders have just raped us for 40 grand.
讲真这俩货真是表面风光 At some point we'll see a Fantasy Island invoice with bogus receipts stapled to it
实际又贪又抠门 for money they never spent on gear they do not own.
所以新专听起来怎么样 So, how's the record sounding?
施耐德 哥们 你就等着爽到飞起吧 Schneider, mate, it's gonna blow your tits off.
我们马上就录啦 你马上就能听到啦 We'll have a playback soon. It's fucking out there, man.
实验的一逼 Experimental as fuck.
实验？ Experimental?
讲真吗 实验音乐 Experimental?
我觉得这主意还不错啊 I think it's a smart way to go.
听着大卫 他们的首张专辑成绩还不错 咱们赚了十万多 Listen, David, we did well with the debut, over 100,000.
这次他们的转变可以看做迎合市场 追求大卖专辑的开始啊 The obvious move will be to start chasing a hit,
和特么的贾维斯·库克什么的合唱一曲 doing a vocal collaboration with fucking Jarvis Cocker or whoever,
但是怒哥的粉丝可能不喜欢这一套 那些小屁孩喜欢鼓点啊贝斯啊什么的 but it could alienate his fan base, all the drum and bass kids.
但如果坚持他们的风格 做不向市场妥协的原创专辑 If you make a really uncompromising original record,
则会得到粉丝们和媒体的认同 怒哥也就得到了有机发展 you'll keep all those people, get great press and build it organically.
逗我呢 实验性音乐 讲真吗 Fuck me. Experimental, no less?
当时施耐德的那个脸啊 Schneider's face.
而且怒哥还说要让他爽到飞起呢我勒个去 And Rage was gakked off his fucking tits.
所以你觉得还是不要搞什么实验性音乐了吧 I take it you counselled against the experimental approach?
-是啊那当然 -嗨嗨 - Oh, yeah, of course. - Oi, oi!
-燥起来吧 -布洛克说这小宝贝超带劲的 - Let's rock.- Bloke says they're strong.
这样啊 也许我们吃一半就够啦 Yeah, so maybe we should only do half.
-扯犊子 -滚吧 - Bollocks. - Fuck off.
如今是唱片业的困难时期 This is the sharp end of the record industry.
我们的工作就是 面对众多价值不菲的选择 Our jobs involve making fast decisions
在关键时刻快速做出决定 with hundreds of thousands even millions of pounds at stake.
而做出决定的时候我们或沉迷于毒品和酒精 These decisions are made under the influence of drugs,
或因为来自身边的压力和恐惧而无措 alcohol, peer pressure and fear.
恐惧如影随形 The fear is constant because,
因为你得知道这一点 and you must understand this,
就是我们根本不知道自己在干啥 none of us have a fucking clue what we're doing.
德伦 Darren!
耶 特么的浪起来吧 Yeah! Fucking massive!
我们当时和鲁迪只是口头签约了对吗 We verbally agreed the deal, OK?
清醒点 好吗 Hey! OK?
哦卧槽 Oh, fuck.
嗨 我是鲁迪 请留言 Yeah, this is Rudi. Leave a message.
鲁迪鲁迪 我是史蒂文 Rudi, Rudi, it's Steven.

-你好 -嗨史蒂文 我是鲁迪 - Hello? - Steven! Hey, it's Rudi.
鲁迪 鲁迪啊 Rudi, Rudi.
听着 我超想买你那唱片 Listen, I definitely want the record.
哥们 你说得有点晚啦 You're a little late now, man..
我已经跟托尼·帕克·霍尔签约啦 Already did the deal with Tony Parker Hall.
卧槽你这个混蛋 卧槽 You fucking Nazi... Fuck!
喂 喂 Hello? Hello?
你已经白纸黑字地签合同了吗 Have you actually signed the contract yet?
这个嘛 我倒是还没签 Well, I haven't signed the contract yet,
但我们已经达成口头约定啦 你懂吗 but we sort of have like a verbal agreement, you know?
好吧鲁迪 你要多少 OK, Rudi. How much?
我说 别这样啊 你知道我是个讲信用的人啊 I mean, come on. You know I'm a man of my word, right?
你要多少 How much?
-说十万怎么样 -六万吧 - Hundred? - Sixty.
-十万 -不行太多了 - Hundred. - No, that's too much.
六万 60,000.
好 成交 All right, deal.
德里克会跟你联系 Trellick will call you.
我们现在的局面可不怎么好 We're now in scary territory.
六万只买了一首歌 这意味着我们必须把这歌炒热 60 grand for a one-off single means we'll have to have a proper hit.
不热的话这歌就没用 Number 18's no use to anyone.
对我而言 这坨屎最少挤进榜单前五我才不丢面子 This piece of shit will have to be top five minimum for me to walk away with any kind of dignity.
有些人可能已经知道了 As some of you will have heard,
上周 史蒂文刚从国际音乐博览会回来 Steven came back from Midem last week
还签下了会上最热的舞曲专辑 where he signed the hottest dance record of the convention.
那专辑在欧洲巨火 我相信在这里也会大获成功 It's blowing up in Europe and I'm sure we're gonna have a huge hit with it here.
虽说这专辑很出格 但是 It's very risque, but...
的确 我已经想办法改掉了那些歌词 Yeah, I've done a new edit with alternative lyrics.
好的 现在我们准备把改编版直接拿到电台播 Right, now, we're gonna take the edit straight to radio,
原版则拿给各个夜店的DJ们 moving the original mix out to all the club DJs...
咱们拍MV了吗 Have we got some video treatments in?
拍了 预算挺低的 Yeah, well, with the budget being quite low...
德雷克喜欢这张唱片 Derek loves the record.
市场部喜欢这张唱片 The marketing department love the record.
电台部也对这张唱片青睐有加 The radio department love the record.
这次从戛纳带回来的还真是一针强心剂呵 I have tooled back from Cannes bearing the cure for cancer.
我想把这首当做第一主打 I see this one... as the first single.
让听众伴随着这首歌 Just go with it...
开始一段音乐旅程 and let it take you on a journey.
某种程度来说 你还不得不对这个疯狂的混蛋礼遇有加 In a way, you've almost got to respect the mad bastard.
为了打造自己内心的可卡因乐团 这货可是花了我们五十万磅 He's taken half a million quid of our money to fund his own cocaine-induced mind orchestra.
换句话说 我真得问问这货到底嗑了什么玩意 On a more positive note, I must get the number of Rage's dealer,
因为这傻逼这次的发疯简直堪称现象级 because the gear the cunt is getting is clearly fucking phenomenal.
这首歌叫 It's called...
初生 Birth.
决定寻求新的机会 Decided to pursue fresh opportunities...
很显然怒哥那智障现在处境不太好啊 Apparently the cretin begged for his life.
别幸灾乐祸了 You know what they say about Schadenfreude.
这就那个唱trip-hop的团么 Is that the trip-hop mob?
去年开始搞解构主义音乐的那个 Signed to Deconstruction last year?
-我给你的乐评你看了没 -什么乐评 - Did you see that review I left out? - What review?
我真是多此一问 在这呢 Why do I bother? Here.
我之前跟你提过这个乐队 叫懒人乐队 That band I was telling you about, The Lazies.
他们的EP在新音乐快递杂志上受到很高评价 Great review of their EP in the NME.
棒 Great.
-史蒂文吗 -嗨米莉 - Steven? - Hi, Milly.
-麻烦能让史蒂文过来一趟吗 -好的我这就叫他过去 - Can you send him up, please? - Yeah, I will do.
-谢啦 -多谢 - Thanks. - Thanks.
德雷克想见你 Derek wants to see you.
时势造英雄啊 Cometh the hour, cometh the man?
瑞贝卡 现在是山中无老虎嘛 In the land of the blind, Rebecca...
对了关于全英音乐奖的事 你能跟出租车公司的小丑们谈谈吗 About the Brits, can you speak to those clowns at the cab company?
确保他们给我派一个之前去过伦敦的司机 Make sure they send someone who's actually set foot in London before.
地面交通很拥堵的 你坐地铁更快啊 Traffic will be a nightmare. You'll be quicker on the tube.
-坐啥玩意 -是地铁 史蒂文 - The fucking what? - The tube, Steven.
今年的全英奖颁奖典礼将会在这里举行 万人迷艾丽风头正劲 *The stage is now set for this year's Brit Awards, with smash sensation Ellie Crush tipped...*
这次定会满载而归 *...to pick up a handful of awards.*
你可能想听听你签的大热舞曲的后续发展 Thought you might like to hear from the plugging team how your dance hit is shaping up.
好吧 嗯 BBC电台1频道觉得这歌不是他们的菜 Right, well, Radio 1 don't think it's for them.
或许等它在夜店大热了我们才更有底气 Maybe if it was bigger at club, we'd have more ammunition.
德雷克 哥们 我们已经发了很多邮件出去 但是 Derek, mate, we've done a massive mail out, but...
似乎这类歌在进入夜店之前得先在电台里热热身 It just seems to be the kind of track that needs a bit more radio before the club DJs pick up on it.
Mixmag杂志上有篇关于他们的好乐评哦 There's a good review in Mixmag.
你是在跟我说我们特么的花了十万就只换来了一篇乐评吗 Are you telling me we've paid a hundred grand to get a review in fucking Mixmag?
所以我们该拿这张操蛋专辑怎么办吧 So, where do we take this cunt of a record from here?
熏着眼睛了 It's got me in the eye.
德雷克讨厌这张专辑 Derek hates the record.
市场部讨厌这张专辑 The marketing department hate the record.
电台部也讨厌这张专辑 The radio department hate the record.
对于这个娱乐界来说 我从戛纳带来的这只强心剂 In a bizarre alchemic process perhaps unique to the entertainment industry,
还真是玄幻诡异 the cancer cure I brought back from Cannes
本以为是治病良药 谁知却成了万恶的病毒 has mysteriously morphed into something closer to the cause of AIDS.
全英奖 女生的天下啊 Girl power!
-哥厉害吧 -这个死肥佬为什么这么开心 - Suck my root. - Why's that fat cunt so happy?
你快看万人迷艾丽啊哥们 Check out Ellie fucking Crush, man.
-嗨艾丽 -嗨托尼 - Ellie! - Tony!
拿下三座大奖啊 太不可思议啦 Three Brits and, surprise, surprise,
德雷克说对了 帕克·霍尔就是个丑逼小浪蹄子 Derek's right up Parker Hall's night fighter.
史蒂文 成功人人都想跪舔 Success has a thousand fathers, Steven.
失败是没人要的小可怜 Failure is an orphan.
亲爱的 借过 Excuse me, darling.
-哟哟 -丹尼 - Oi, oi, Stelfox. - Danny.
最近怎么样？今天妞来得不少啊 How you doing? Some birds in here!
你在戛纳签的那个什么《跪舔我吧》怎么样了？ What happened with that Suck My Dick thing you signed at Midem?
我们想再多做些混音 你那里怎么样？ We're doing some more mixes. What you got going on?
我正准备去找你呢，事实上，手里有一个女子乐队 I wanna come see you, actually. This girl band I'm managing...
-你来个Rockschool不？ -好啊 - You want a Rockschool? - Yeah.
请给我五杯双份杰克丹尼加可乐 亲爱的 Five double Jack and Coke, please, darling.
-她们乐队叫什么？ -莺歌 懂了不？ - What are they called? - The Songbirds. You get it?
就那种什么傻逼女孩力量的操蛋玩意 Fucking girl power and all that bollocks.
-看看罗杰在庆祝呢 -为什么这么说？ - See Roger's celebrating. - How's that?
我听说他是你们公司A&R的新任老大啊 Well, I hear he's your new head of A&R.
你哪里听说的？ Where are you hearing that?
德里克的私助之前跟我办公室的泰德说漏了 Derek's PA let it slip to Ted in my office earlier on.
我觉得他应该会是 I think he's gonna get it.
谢谢亲爱的 Thank you, darling.
二 三 Two, three...
不用找了 Keep the change, all right?
史蒂文 Stevie.
好好玩 那乐队的事我再给你电话 Enjoy. I'll give you a bell about the band.
-好 -抱歉亲爱的 - Yeah.- Sorry, darling.
有时候压力大或者焦虑的时候 我会不停地念各种可卡因的名字 Sometimes, as a mantra to calm myself during moments of stress or anxiety,
就像咒语一样让我冷静下来 I find it soothing to repeat all the different words I know for cocaine.
可可精 老可乐 古柯 滚石 Gak, chang, nose-up, bag, beak, charlie,
全是可卡因，音译
自由垒 快乐客 扣开心 金粉 krell, powder, chisel, bump,
吹包包 侃飞 夫人 嘟嘟 posh, bugle, sniff, skiwear...
这就是捧这些一次性舞曲的问题所在 That's the problem with chasing these one-off dance records, you know.
风险太高了 The stakes are so high.
我是说 有时候你… 呃 I mean, sometimes you...
这就是为什么我觉得大卫走了是件好事 You know, that's why I think it'll be a good thing, David going, you know.
我们就有机会有个真正的A&R部了 It'll give us a chance to have a proper A&R department
我们长期签下几个真正的艺人 where we sign some real artists with longevity,
那种特别伟大的英国创作人 就像 you know,great British songwriters like, say...
呃 就像 You know, say...
-保罗-韦勒？ -对啊 - Paul Weller?- Yeah.
我是说 他的歌都是他自己写的 是吧？ I mean, he writes most of his own stuff, doesn't he?
嗯 是 应该是 Yeah, yeah, I believe he does.
罗杰 你为什么要说这些？ Roger, why are you talking like this?
你为什么要一直讲你对整个部门未来的看法？ Why are you banging on about your vision for the department?
-我不知道 兄弟 -他们是不是已经让你接替大卫的工作了？ - I don't know, man. - Have they offered you David's job?
呃 呃 德里克不让我说 Derek told me not to say anything.
崔里克都还不知道呢 Trellick doesn't even know yet.
不是因为你啊史蒂文 It's no reflection on you, Steven.
就是 对你来说时机不对 It's just it's not great timing for you,
你知道 鲁迪那首舞曲的事之后 you know, after what happened with Rudi's dance track and...
我不想搞得看起来好像 呃 你突然间就是我的手下之类的 You know, I don't want it to seem like you're suddenly working for me.
我们是一起工作的 We're working together.
可卡因口诀 again
卡卡 宾克 棒扑 邦森 Racket, bink, bump, bronson,
鬼佬 嘟嘟 小鬼 bolivian, toot, junior,
蔡司 瞎逼逼 蹦蹦 chas, nonsense, bounce...
恭喜你 干得不错 老兄 Well, congratulations. Well done, mate.
-太他妈棒了 -谢了 - Fucking result. - Thanks.
你还有香槟吗？ You got any more champagne?
在冰箱里 It's in the fridge.
我要是说我之前从没想过这部门变成我的地盘就太假了 Obviously I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought about running the department before.
我是说 咱实话说 大卫根本不知道自己在干嘛 I mean, let's be honest, David was all over the place.
他太老了 He was too old.
他从来都不知道自己真正喜欢什么不喜欢什么 He never got a sense of what he really liked and didn't like.
也就是看看什么生意火 然后在最后关头才搞定 It was just about seeing whatever deals were hot and then getting in on it at the last minute.
就像狂怒小子 记得不？ It's like with Rage, remember,
史蒂文 本来是你先把他搞过来的 现在变成我负责了 it was you that brought that in, Steven, and now I'm in charge,
以后想这样的事我肯定会保证把它搞清楚 I'm gonna make sure things like that get properly recognised, you know.
那张专辑你应该有话语权 未来我确信我们能做到 You should have had a point on that album and in the future, I know we can,
我们一定得多签下些艺人 we definitely need to broaden the roster, you know.
我们得挖到点超级青草那样的乐队 We need to find a band like Supergrass...
多搞点神曲 Smack my bitch up
你特妈去死吧！ Fucking die!
保罗-韦勒的歌当然是他写的啊 你个傻逼蠢胖子 Of course Paul Weller writes his own songs, you stupid fat bastard.
他是他那一代最牛逼的唱作人之一啊 Of the foremost singer/songwriters of his generation!
谁他妈在乎那个贱逼娘炮？ I mean, who gives a fuck about the mod cunt?
但他就是以唱作人身份他妈出名的啊 But he's primarily known as a singer fucking songwriter.
很好 Nice.
你们的音乐主要受谁影响？ Who would you say your influences are?
他应该是在问你们喜欢谁的音乐 I think he's asking what music you like.
-麦当娜啥的 -你根本不喜欢麦当娜 - Madonna and stuff. - You don't even like Madonna.
你嘴巴臭死了 Your breath stinks.
-我还会唱Rap -姑娘们 - I'm also a rap singer. - Girls...
-真的么？ -抱歉 哥们 - Really? - Sorry, mate.
咱能不能等会儿再吵？ Can we leave this till later?
-你他妈吵得我头疼 -好 - You're giving me a fucking headache. - Great.
丹尼 我再跟你联系 好吗？ Well, Danny, let me get back to you, yeah?
好吧 但是快点啊 All right, be quick, though.
-我们下午还约了维京唱片 -加油，丹尼 - We're up at Virgin this afternoon. - Cheers, Danny.
来吧 姑娘们 走了 Come on, girls. Let's go.
-高兴认识你 -谢了 谢谢 姑娘们 - Nice meeting you - Cheers. Thanks, girls.
那你对她们怎么看？ What d'you reckon to that lot, then?
我怎么看？ What do I reckon?
我看她们是最屎的那种圈钱骗钱的垃圾 I reckon they look like the worst kind of sink-estate benefit-fraud trash imaginable,
如果说她们的音乐烂 and to say that their music is dismal would be an understatement on par
就跟说弗莱德-韦斯特是特么好爸爸一样太客气了 with saying Fred West could probably have been a better fucking dad.
【Fred West 弗莱德-韦斯特：英国臭名昭著的连环杀人犯， 与妻子Rose虐待奸杀多个自己的女儿】
但我还是挺愿意操她们的 But I'd also like to do the lot of them.
我看如果我们找来点正经的创作人 像样的制作人 I reckon if we got some real songwriters, decent producer,
世界级的造型师 一流的摄影师 world-class stylist, an A-list photographer
再来几个私教让她们别再吃肯德基喝汽水酒 and some personal trainers to keep them off the KFC and the alcopops...
然后我们再砸钱给合适的电台还有媒体 and if we spent a fortune on the right pluggers
让大众相信她们真有两下子 and press officers to convince people they're the real deal,
而不是几个为了见马克-莫里森愿意给驴子那啥的 rather than just a talentless bunch of slags
没有一点天分的辣鸡 who'd gobble a fucking donkey to get to meet Mark Morrison,
这样的话 是的 瑞贝卡 我们或许能他妈卖出几张唱片 then, yeah, Rebecca, we might just sell a few fucking records.
你们听说罗杰的事了吗？ Have you guys heard about Roger?
那小子哪去了？ 他特么都三天没来了 Yeah, where is that clown? He hasn't been in for three fucking days now.
他死了 He's dead.
什么？ What?
有人在他公寓里把他打死了 Someone beat him to death... in his flat.
天哪 Holy shit.
他们连他的狗都弄死了 They even killed his little dog.
来吧 没事了 没事的 Here. It's OK. It's OK.
警察觉得他可能是碍了非法闯入者的事 The police think he disturbed an intruder.
可怜的罗杰啊 老天 Poor Roger.
天呐 Jesus.
好吧 这段时间你来主持A&R部的工作 Right, so you'll be acting head of A&R for the time being.
小鬼们还有罗布暂时都向你汇报工作 The scouts and Rob will report to you temporarily.
现在 我们应该拿狂怒小子那张专辑怎么办？ Now, what are we gonna do about this fucking Rage album?
老天 我们就把那无能蠢货放弃了吧 Christ, let's just drop the talentless clown.
查查毁了这单咱要花多少钱 詹姆斯 Look into what it'll cost us to get out of the deal, James.
史蒂文 重点是 我们几乎死定了 The point is, Steven, we're dead in the water.
我们得行动起来 We need some activity.
这周你要去奥斯汀那边去西南偏南艺术节 是吧？ You're off to Austin for South By Southwest this week, right?
【South by Southwest（SXSW）：每年三月中旬在美国德州的奥斯汀举办 的集电影、交互媒体、音乐于一身的艺术节和交流会】
是的 我和德伦一起 Yeah, me and Darren.
我们要看很多新乐队 We're gonna see a lot of new bands.
好 不错 OK. Good.
注意节约花销 Watch the expenses.
谢谢 德里克 Thanks, Derek.
呃 我本不想这样得到这份工作的 I mean, this wasn't how I wanted to get the job...
哼 你还没得到这工作 You haven't got the job yet.
我们看情况 好吧？ We'll see how it goes, OK?
老天 那基佬又怎么回事？ Christ. What's that bender's problem?
除了他血管里流淌着艾滋病毒 I mean, apart from the fucking AIDS coursing through his veins.
-还是老问题 -我们需要几首热单 - Same problem it always is. - We need some hits.
对咯 Correctos.
凯蒂 能麻烦你帮我找找罗杰签的合约吗？ Katy, can you dig out Roger's contract for me, please?
把西蒙-埃斯普林叫来 然后明天午餐约给我取消 And ring Simon Esplen and cancel lunch tomorrow.
谢谢 Thank you.
史蒂文 Steven.
你看 从德州回来签几个热门新乐队 你就无敌了 Look, come back from Texas with some hot new bands and you'll be golden.
老天 我烦死乐队了 Christ. I fucking hate bands.
我们都烦啊 史蒂文 我们都烦 We all do, Steven. We all do.
当A&R的负责人 Acting head of A&R
真是种侮辱 The fucking insult.
不过 要在这个部门留下我的符号 把我的品味刻在上面 Still, it might be a good opportunity to make a mark,
这应该是个好机会 to stamp my taste on the department.
所以你可能会好奇 So I suppose you're wondering,
我的品味是什么 what is that taste,
我喜欢什么样的音乐 what kind of music do I like?
这个问题问一个大公司A&R负责人 就像问股票经纪人 Asking a major label A&R man this is like asking a stockbroker
最爱哪支股票一样 what his favourite commodity is,
或者问外汇交易人：“嘿 你喜欢什么币种啊？”一样 or saying to an FX trader, 'Hey, what's your favourite currency?'
答案永远都是 只要有钱赚 The answer is: whatever's profitable.
不管是嘻哈 迷幻 Hip-hop, trance,
还是羊尿泡上弹的保加利亚重金属 Bulgarian heavy metal played on sheep's bladders.
如果是热单 只要赚钱谁他妈在乎其他 If it's a hit, who fucking cares, as long as it's profitable.
嗨 咱等会聊 Hey. We'll catch up later
事实就是 签乐队就像买彩票 The truth is, signing bands is a lottery.
但有时 偶尔 你真的会看到一些全新的 鲜活的 But now and then, once in a while, you do witness something new, fresh,
像该死的雪花一样的东西 like fucking snow.
接下来你工作得停一停，因为这事项已经提上日程了 And then you've got your work cut out, because then the race is on
如果你能签下一个不错的乐队，有好歌又长久 because if you sign a proper band with songs and longevity
有销量又名声好 with sales and credibility
你就能作为终极A&R享誉天下 then you get known as that ultimate A&R accolade
你是个有着一对好耳朵的音乐人 You are a music guy, someone with good ears
极具审美和洞察力，就像是…… You're a man of taste and discernment,a man like...
尼玛的安东尼 帕克 霍尔 Anthony Parker fucking Hall
好了，女士们先生们…… All right, ladies and gentlemen...
为什么我不知道这个乐队？ Why don't I know about this band?
大家都爱死他们了 Everyone bloody loves them
我跟你说过，这是瑞典的懒人乐队 I told you, The Lazies from Sweden
鬼才告诉过我，他妈的瑞贝卡曾经念他们念个不停 Bollocks did you. Fucking Rebecca's been banging on about them
操 帕克 霍尔那家伙已经缠上他们了 That cunt Parker Hall's all over them
谁是经理？ Jimmy Sien - Who's the manager? - Some guy called Jimmy Sien
下个星期他们来伦敦 They're coming over to London next week
好 安排我们见个面 尼玛的 Right, sort out a meeting, for fuck's sake
噢，应该是斯坦因，吉米斯坦因 I think it's Stein, actually. Jimmy Stein
我他妈才不在乎。去安排下会议吧 I don't fucking care. Just sort out the meeting
好 Yeah
懒人乐队！难以相信！ The Lazies. I don't believe this
他们的CD呢？ Where is their CD?
我是说，我念了这个乐队几个月，现在你突然…… I mean, I've been going on about that band for months and now suddenly...
对啊，但现在他们是真他妈红，瑞贝卡 Yeah, but now they're fucking hot, Rebecca.
这就是生活 That's life
-史蒂文吗？ -你好，德瑞克。 - Steven? - Hi, Derek
-他在吗？ -在，你等等 - Is he there? - Yes. Hang on
-是你吗？ -是我。 - That you? - Yeah
环球唱片会向这该死的懒人乐队抛橄榄枝。 Phonogram are about to make an offer on the fucking Lazies.
我知道，环球在邀请他们，还有海岛公司 No, I know Phonogram are offering, and Island
-嗯，那我们要见见他们吗？ -对 - Well, are we meeting them?- Yeah
-今天吗？ -不不，他们刚到这儿。 - Today? - No. They've just got into the country.
我和德伦这星期会抽一天和他们吃顿饭。 Me and Darren are having dinner with them later in the week.
-我们一定得搞定他们啊，史蒂文 -我们得接下这单该死的生意 - We've got to get this, Steven. - We're gonna get this fucking deal
好吗？ 嗯。 - OK?- Yes.
-那好，再见。 -好好好，再见再见再见 - Great. Bye. - OK, yeah. Bye, bye, bye. Bye
现在 他妈的他们那张CD哪去了！ Now, where is their fucking CD?
-又升职了？ -滚 - Been promoted again?- Fuck off
你，去给粗野贸易唱片打个电话。 Look, call Rough Trade
还不如骑个车过去呢 Get one biked over
-那懒人乐队…… -上帝啊。 - About the Lazies deal... - Jesus.
我刚和德瑞克在电话里说过。 I just had Derek on the phone
很明显 现在独立唱片也加入竞争了 Apparently Independiente are in the frame as well.
-两家公司 每张唱片15万镑 -操，你他妈在逗我？ - Two firm, 150 grand per album. - Oh, fuck. You're kidding me?
史蒂文，有人想见你。 Steven, there's someone in reception to see you
让他们滚。 Tell them to fuck off
呃，我不会这样做的。 Actually, I wouldn't do that
是个警察。 It's a policeman
你好，粗野贸易唱片公司 Hello. Rough Trade
-噢，那是狂怒的专辑吗？ -对。 - Is that for the Rage album? - Yeah
哇，我太太买过这张。 Wow. My wife bought that
嗯，不过说真的，这玩意儿我不喜欢。 Yeah, not really my kind of thing, to tell you the truth
我更喜欢吉他这类的。 I'm more into the guitar stuff
以前我在乐队，弹吉他，写了一些音乐小样，还被退回来了。 Played in a band until a few years ago, sent a few demos off back in the day
你知道的，一般上他们都说：抱歉，这不是我想要的。 The usual 'not what we're looking for at the moment' replies.
嗯，确实你想踏足这个圈子，是挺难的。 Well, it's tough trying to get your foot in the door
-您贵姓？ -伍德海姆。 - Sorry, Detective...?- Woodham
嗯。不过我现在有点忙，所以…… Right. I'm just a little bit busy right now, so...
噢对对对。 Righty ho.
不管怎样，我刚才说了，我在追踪一些关于沃特斯先生被杀案子的线索。 Anyway, as I said, I'm just following up on a few things relating to Mr Waters' murder.
他死前那天晚上是跟你在一起的对吧 I believe you were with him on the last night he was seen alive
对，我们那时候在全英颁奖礼 Yeah. We'd been at the Brits.
我们打了一辆出租车 我回家途中把他放下了 We shared a cab. I dropped him off on the way back to mine.
好 Right.
全英奖怎么样啊？ What were the Brits like?
还是老一套 Usual nonsense.
啊哈，我是说，我在电视上见过，但…… Yeah, I mean, I've seen it on the telly and that, but...
我可以想象，你真的在那儿的时候，嗯，还是，很不一样的。 I imagine it's different when you're, you know, actually there
对。 Yeah.
就你了解，沃特斯先生有过什么麻烦吗？ Did Mr Waters have any problems that you knew about?
-比如？ -比如债务。 - Like what?- Debts, for instance.
-或者他有什么仇人吗？ -可能是有一些吧。 - Or did he have any enemies? - Probably a few enemies.
要拒绝的人简直多到吐 You have to say no to people an awful lot
真的是 Tell me about it.
我是说，在金钱方面，他无需担忧。 I mean, he's unlikely to have had any money worries.
出手阔绰，一掷千金，是这样吗？ Expenses all the way in your bloody racket, isn't it?
对，不过我们也因为索赔啤酒而出名过。 Yeah, we have been known to claim a few beers back.
-那天晚上你喝酒了吗？ -那可是在全英奖 - You'd been drinking that night? - It was the Brits
-毒品呢？ -没有，我没有。 - Drugs? - Not for me, no.
现场有吸食可卡因的痕迹。 There's evidence of cocaine use at the scene.
而且沃特斯先生体内毒品含量极高。 Significant levels of the drug in Mr Waters' body
是吗？ Really?
说真的，我觉得你们…… To be honest, I thought all you guys...
真是荒唐。 That's a myth.
现在不是80年代了。这年头得拼命工作啊 It's not the '80s. You have to work too hard these days.
打扰一下，史蒂文 Sorry, Steven.
德里克想让你过去和他讨论一下关于邀请懒人乐队的事宜 Derek wants you to go up and discuss The Lazies offer.
懒人乐队？不错的单曲啊 The Lazies? Great single, that
我的天。告诉他我们马上…… Christ. Tell him we'll just...
哦不不，可以的，我问完了。 No, no, it's fine. I'm done.
-斯特福克斯先生，多谢你抽空见我 -不不，谢谢你 - Thanks for your time, Mr Stelfox. - No, thank you.
很抱歉我不能提供更多的信息来帮你了 Sorry I couldn't be more help, you know
如果有任何我可以帮忙的，打我电话就行 If there's anything else I can help with, then just give me a call
谢谢了 Thanks
事实上，还有件事 Actually, there is one more thing.
你能说说这东西怎么办吗？ Can you tell me what you make of this?
就是我们在我朋友家胡乱做的几首歌，只有一些粗糙的混音 It's just some rough mixes we did at my mate's place.
我以前是个写歌的，你知道吧 I was the songwriter, you see.
我想听一些专业一点的解释 I'd love a professional opinion
好的好的，我会去听一听 Sure. I'll have a listen
-一切顺利吗？ -当然 - All finished? - Absolutely.
他来干嘛的啊？ What was all that about?
关于罗杰的 He was asking about Roger.
我告诉他我在离开全英奖回家路上就让罗杰下车了 I told him Id dropped him off on the way home after the Brits.
这又是什么？ What's with this?
【Noel Gallagher: 前Oasis（绿洲乐队）词曲作者、吉他手，英伦摇滚功臣】
做着摇滚梦的条子以为自己是诺尔-加拉格呢 Starstruck copper reckons he's Noel fucking Gallagher.
-他挺帅的啊 -你喜欢这一款，瑞贝卡？ - He's quite cute, though. - Fancy that, do you, Rebecca?
嫁个一年赚2万5、穿着廉价西装 Being married to some cretin who earns 25 grand a year and wears Next suits
周日去百安居瞎逛买点瓷砖什么的蠢货？ tooling around B&Q on a Sunday buying fucking tiles?
-好吧，如果你爱上谁…… -别逗我了 - Well, if you're in love... - Don't make me laugh.
你准备在哪里和懒人乐队吃饭？ Where are you gonna take The Lazies for dinner?
无所谓 I don't care.
找个素食主义者能吃的地方吧 Just find somewhere that's vegetarian-friendly.
纯素食者 正确地说 Vegan, actually.
嗯，他们有什么穷讲究？ Well, what's their fucking deal, then?
无论如何不要有动物类的食品 No animal products whatsoever.
不要鱼，不要奶，不要鸡蛋 No fish, no dairy, no eggs.
去他妈的 玩独立的小屁孩 Fucking indie kids.
你想怎么来？ How d'you wanna play this?
你就做一个狂热的音乐爱好者 You be the enthusiastic music lover
就一直说说摇滚，吉他独奏，或者他妈的Tom Verlaine，什么都行 bang on about indie B sides and the guitar solos of Tom fucking Verlaine or whatever,
至于我，就在他们说到公司的事的时候，来说几句话就行 and I'll do the industry thing when they say, 'Tell us about the label'.
-大家好 -跟玩独立乐的小孩相处，你得记住 - Hey.- With indie kids, you have to remember this.
他们就是觉得自己在某些意义上说是个人物 They really think that what they do matters in some way.
历史会铭记他们， They reckon that history will care
就像有些人影响他们一样，他们也正在启发别人 that they're passing on the torch and just as they were influenced by someone
并影响未来更年轻的乐队 then in the future young bands will be influenced by them
这他妈就是愚蠢的自大 The fucking arrogance of it all.
-你们想喝点什么？ -对了 - May I get you some drinks? - Yes.
你能给我们来点伏特加吗？ Could you bring us the vodka menu?
你们必须得试试这个 他们这有30多… You guys have to check this out. They've got over 30...
我可以就要点水吗？ Can I just have some more water, please?
我也是 Yeah, me too.
我们明天很早就要开工了，所以…… We've got an early start tomorrow, so...
那行。 Fine. Thank you.
这张EP上你最喜欢哪一首？ So, what's your favourite track on the EP?
第三首 Track 3.
可以啊 Right. Wow.
-很好 -那么，伙计，跟我们说说你们公司什么打算吧 - Great. - So, guys, tell us about your label.
我？很乐意。 Me? Sure.
嗯，正如你所知，我们会来制作你们的唱片 Well, as you know, we'll manufacture your records
然后投放到市场，这样 and put them in the shops and that's about it.
在你们所有可以想象的创作过程我们都会干扰 We'll interfere at every conceivable stage of the artistic process.
不用经过你们允许，我们会重新合成已经编辑好的歌曲 We'll remix and edit tracks without your permission
并且在你们宿醉到早上九点的时候 and force you to appear on degrading kids' TV programmes
强迫你们去上些智障的节目好多一点黑粉 when you're hung over to fuck at nine o'clock in the morning.
只要你们能上电视，我们会用你们的音乐去为银行，石油工业巨头， We'll use your music to advertise banks and petrochemical giants.
军火商还有捕鲸船队代言。 We'd use it to advertise arms dealers and whaling fleets if only the cunts advertised on TV.
我们会看紧你们的户头， We'll under-account to you
不管什么都要扣你们钱 从你要点的那块煞笔豆腐 and charge you for everything from that disgraceful fucking tofu
到把你们可怕的合同订起来的订书钉 you're about to order to the staples used to knock your horrendous contracts together.
如果你们不能解决的话 And if it doesn't all work out,
你们被解约的速度 you'll be dropped faster than a Plymouth hooker's knickers
会比普利茅斯来了大船时那些鸡脱裤子的速度还快 when there's a big fucking ship in town.
怎么样？ How's that?
笑一笑，记住这些，素食的嬉皮小贱货们 Strap that on for a laugh, you vegan hippy cunts.
我？很乐意 Me? Sure.
嗯，正如你们所知，我们非常注重艺人的长期培养 Well, as you know, we're very much about long-term artist development.
你们知道吧，我们会让你们开心又满意 You know, we wanna make you guys feel comfortable and make you happy that
就在你们创作音乐的时候…… you're producing the sort of music...
他妈的，我才是老大！ Come on! I'm the fucking king.
哼，我才是老大！ Come on! I'm the fucking king!
当他高八度的时候，简直……太神奇了 When he goes up the octave, it's just... it's magical.
-不可思议 -太不可思议了 - Incredible.- It's so incredible.
-呃,，你是演奏…… -鼓，我打鼓 - I mean, you play...? - Drums
噢，我们正…… No, we're just...
正在…… We're...
不好意思，我一会儿就回来 Excuse me. I'll be back in a second.
好的，谁还要点甜点？或者我们再去喝一杯如何？ All righty. Anyone for dessert or shall we go for a nightcap?
我觉得我们该走了 Actually, I think we're gonna hit the road now.
别啊，还早着呢 Come on. The night is young.
好吧好吧，我会让我的律师给你们打个电话 OK, all right. Well, I'll get our lawyer to give your guy a call.
好，太好了。演出见 Yeah, great. See you at the show.
好好好，星期六对吧，我不会错过的。 Yeah, Saturday. Wouldn't miss it.
喂，你确定不再喝一杯吗？ Hey, are you sure you don't fancy a drink?
抱歉，我真的累了 Sorry. I'm really tired.
嗯，我知道有家私人会所，你和我可以…… Yes, I know this private members club you and me could...
你是在挑逗我吗？ Are you like hitting on me?
-不不不 -那，再次谢谢你请我们吃饭 - No. - Look, thanks again for dinner.
晚安 Good night.
3天后，懒人乐队对于我们的邀请依旧没有回应 3 days later and still no response to our offer on The Lazies.
一天天过去，他们逐渐成为全国最热手的未签约乐队 With each passing day, they are becoming the hottest unsigned band in the country.
要是谁能签下他们，那他妈简直就是有雄壮的的克莱夫戴维斯 Whoever gets their signature is gonna look like Clive fucking Davis with a six-foot cock.
所以你怎么样呢？ So what do you do?
你跟着马戏团到了下一个城市，站在后面， You follow the circus to the next town and stand at the back,
跟着其他小丑一起点头，弄得好像你在乎一样。 nodding along with all the other clowns like you give a shit.
斯特福克斯先生，你好啊 Mr Stelfox. Hey.
你好？ Hi.
嗯，我是艾伦 伍德海姆，伍德汉姆警探，我问过你话的…… It's Alan Woodham, DC Woodham.I interviewed you about...
哦，天哪，对，不好意思。你穿着便服我没认出来。 Yeah. Christ, sorry. I didn't recognise you in your civvies.
-你在这儿干什么？ -我还是喜欢出来参加一些小演出。 - What are you doing here? - I still like to get out to a few gigs.
我听到了很多关于此事的好消息，你怎么认为？ I heard good things about this lot. What did you think?
啊，不错 Yeah, interesting.
案子有进展吗？ Any progress with the investigation?
没多少 Not really.
邻居们什么都没看到 None of the neighbours saw anything.
所以你觉得我的demo怎么样 So, what did you think of my demo?
直说就好 我受得住 Be frank. I can take it.
其实我不得不说 你的demo让我印象很深刻 Actually, I have to say, I was really impressed.
-真的吗 -是啊 - Really? - Yeah, yeah.
里边有些歌超棒的 There's some great songs on there.
-你最喜欢里边哪首 -第三首 - What was your favourite? - Track 3.
-时光飞逝 -对 - Time Keeps Moving. - Yeah.
谢谢你肯花时间听我的歌 Thanks for taking the time to have a listen.
我的意思是 别误会 I mean, don't get me wrong,
我没幻想在而立之年成为摇滚明星 I'm not harbouring any delusions about becoming a rock star at 30,
但我觉得自己说不定能靠写歌拿到些合约 but I did think with the song writing maybe I could look at getting a publishing deal,
你懂的 就是帮别人写歌什么的 you know, write songs for other people.
你有没有认识什么靠谱的出版人 我好把我的歌寄给他们 Do you know any publishers who it might be worth sending it to?
额有是有 哥们 我得走了 Yes, yeah. Look, I've gotta run.
让我好好想想然后给你回电话 成不 But let me have a think and I'll give you a call, OK?
-谢啦史蒂文 -加油艾伦 - Thanks, Steven. - Cheers, Alan.
我爱你伦敦 I love you, London!
谢谢大家 Thank you so much.
你们是最棒的 You've been amazing.
-卧槽 -那是 那是帕克·霍尔吗 - Fuck a dog. - Is that... Is that Parker Hall?
我能说那家伙跟这个乐队的关系看起来我们跟他们要好吗 Would it be fair to say Parker Hall's some what closer with the band than we are?
-事情难办的时候你就该 -什么 该嗑点儿吗 - When the going gets tough... - What, the tough do Es?
扯淡的非主流乐队 分分钟就有新的成立 Fucking indie band. There'll be another one along in a minute.
我能把你们签下来 如果这就是你们的目的 But, I can get you a deal if that's what you want.
我能签下来 I can do a deal.
我能把你们签下来 I can get you a deal.
你应该跟我联系 记得打给我 You should call me. Give me a call.
德伦跟谁说话呢 Who is Darren talking to?
怎么样 我可是交易人 Yeah? I'm the deal maker.
他跟墙谈心呢 He's literally talking to the wall.
我觉着他正在跟人谈唱片生意 I think he's offering it a record deal.
真是不该让他喝多啊伙计 That last double drop was an own goal, mate.
你想签合同不 Do you want a deal?
我觉得我能把你签了 I guess you can have a deal.
把你地址给我 有意的话跟我联系好吧 Just give me your address. Send me a signal. OK.
-去隔壁 -啥 - Next door. - What?
你怎么认识我妈的啊 How do you know my mum?
等我一小下 Will you give me a sec?
喝点水清醒下 德伦 Get some water down you, Darren.
做好准备吧小伙子们 Strap yourselves in, lads.
我们好像快要拿下The Lazies乐队了 Looks like we're gonna be signing The Lazies after all.
爽 小爷我就是宇宙之王 Come on. I'm the fucking king.
额好吧 其实是帕克·霍尔把他们签了 Well... Parker Hall is actually signing them.
那乐队就认准帕克了 The band won't sign with anyone else but Parker Hall.
德里克好像和帕克谈过 It seems Derek's been talking to Parker Hall for a while.
他们今早一起吃的早餐 He had breakfast with him this morning.
帕克在百代唱片任期已满 His contract is up at EMI
现在他马上就要成为你我的顶头上司了 and he's coming straight over to us to be head of A&R.
你什么意思 I don't understand.
德里克把帕克·霍尔揽入麾下了 Derek has hired Parker Hall.
帕克·霍尔就是你我的新上司 He's going to be our new head of A&R
The Lazies乐队就是他带过来的见面礼 and he's bringing The Lazies in with him as his first signing.
他就是你那该死的老板 He's your fucking boss.
你们都知道 现在公司处于困难时期 As you all know, this has been a very difficult year for this company.
罗杰不幸离世 大卫还想让公司继续走下去 What with Roger's tragic death and David Schneider's decision to move on,
但是A&R部门没有领头羊了 we have been missing certain leadership in the A&R department.
现在我很高兴宣布 眼下的困局马上就会得到转变 Well, I'm very pleased to say that's all about to change.
你们都知道 对于A&R来说 名誉就是一切 As we all know, in A&R your reputation is everything.
好的名誉为我们吸引有才华的音乐人 With a great reputation, you attract talent,
有了有才华的音乐人 我们才有热卖歌曲 and with talent, you get hits,
有了热卖歌曲 我们才能成功 and with hits, you build a successful label.
这个人名声斐然 And this man here has an incredible reputation,
他在百代和万人迷艾丽一起共创辉煌 established at EMI where he had tremendous success with Ellie Crush.
我花了很长时间劝他来加入我们 I have personally been trying to get him to work here for a very long time now
现在我很高兴地说 他最终接受了我的邀请 and I'm delighted to say he's finally accepted.
大家欢迎我们新任A&R部门掌门人 安东尼 帕克 霍尔 Please welcome our new head of A&R, Anthony Parker Hall.
我不想搞什么长篇大论 所以我只想说来到这里我很兴奋 I'm not one for big speeches, so I will just say how excited I am to be here...
我在丛林中漫步 I'm walking in a forest.
-我在丛林中漫步 -不行 太小家子气 德伦把唱片取下来 - I'm walking in a forest. - No. No, it's pony. Take it off, Darren.
欢迎来到帕克的新政权世界 Welcome to the new regime.
好吧 这是来自爱丁堡的可可豆子乐队 OK, this is Cocoa and the Bean, Edinburgh band.
有点小名气 There's a few people talking about them.
A&R的周会现在由帕克主持 A&R meetings are now weekly under Parker Hall
跟施耐德主持的感觉完全不同 rather than whenever we felt like it under Schneider.
虽然他俩都目标明确思路清晰 They're also driven by a new focus and clarity.
但帕克对所有事都了然于胸 很清楚自己喜欢什么不喜欢什么 He's on everything early and has a sharp idea of what he likes and what he doesn't like,
清楚什么在市场上吃得香 什么行不通 what he thinks will work in the marketplace and what won't.
如果你觉得听他讲已经够折磨的话 And if it's not bad enough listening to his opinions,
现在他要我们发表意见了 he's now asking for ours.
我一直在考虑懒人乐队新专辑的制作人人选 So, I've been thinking about producers for the new Lazies album.
你们有什么好主意吗 Any of you got any bright ideas?
吉尔·诺顿怎么样 Gil Norton?
罗博你说 Rob?
你觉得呢 Who are you thinking of?
-史蒂夫·艾比尼 -卧槽绝妙 - Steve Albini. - Fuck, that's good.
他是涅槃乐队最后一张专辑In Utero的制作人 He produced In Utero, Nirvana's last record.
他炙手可热又绝对专业 在给乐队当制作人方面很在行 He just rocks up, box of microphones, records the band live.
帕克这货还真是把什么都想到了 He's thought all this through.
我觉得The Lazies乐队不能只是小有名气 The way I see it, we've got enough buzz in the band.
无论如何 咱们得和这位大牛制作人合作搞出一张大卖专辑 We're gonna have a gold record with this one whatever it sounds like,
所以放手干吧 来搞个大卖专辑出来 so let's just make an extreme record, establish credibility,
然后再想赚钱的事 赚钱是第二位的好吗 then we make something more commercial with the second one, yeah?
实际上这家伙根本没想听我们的什么意见 He isn't really asking our opinions on anything.
这只是他可怕的小测试罢了 It's just some horrible test.
你们知道在过去十年中有多少与我们签约的艺人 Do you know how many acts signed to this company in the last decade
能发到第三张专辑吗 有谁知道 have actually made their third album, anyone?
根本没有 Zero.
唱片业现在需要有长期发展潜力的艺人 We've got to get into the business of developing long-term artists.
我们签下的每个人都有自己的过人之处 Everyone here has their own specialties,
只要让他们发挥所长 so if we can play to those strengths,
我们这个部门就能重新焕发生机火力全开 对吧 we're gonna have this department firing on all cylinders, yeah?
罗博 你签下的那个叫Sound Collective的 你手里有几首他们写的歌 Rob, that Sound Collective thing you signed, how many finished tracks do you have?
史蒂文 我听说你瞄上了一支丹尼·伦特手下的女生乐队 Steven, I hear you're taking a look at that girl band Danny Rent's managing.
莺歌乐队 Songbirds.
显然不少人对她们颇有兴趣 Apparently quite a few people are interested.
我们该签她们吗 Should we be doing it?
我想签她们不 Do I wanna sign them?
我还真不知道 I really don't know.
真签了她们我也许就该卷铺盖走人了 Signing bands can literally cost you your fucking job.
但我还得吸引帕克的注意力 Also, I must be mindful of Parker Hall's intention here.
你知道这个傻逼真正要问我什么吗 I mean, you understand what this little cunt is asking me?
估计在他心里 He might be privately convinced that
早就把莺歌乐队看作肥美多汁的潜力股 Songbirds are a grade-A Bernard Matthews turkey with hobnailed boots on.
他这么问大概就是施舍我一下 等我往套里钻呢 He could be doling me out just enough rope to fashion a fucking noose.
丫小算盘打得好着呢 It's win-win for him.
如果我把这乐队签了 她们也真的大热了 If I sign them and they're huge,
帕克这货就会跟摇滚之王一样嘚瑟 因为这签约是他认可的 he looks like the king of rock because he OK'd the deal.
如果她们过气速度比绑了石头的泰塔尼克下沉速度还快 If they go down like the Titanic with fucking boulders strapped to it,
那他就会说他给了我机会 但我却铸成大错 he'll say something about how he had to give me the opportunity to make my own mistakes...
然后把我开了 and he'll fire me.
但另一方面来说 如果我不签他们 维京唱片把她们签了而且她们大热 On the other hand, if I don't sign them and, say, Virgin do and they're huge,
那我也完蛋了 then I'm fucked too.
【Dick Rowe：50-60年代英国A&R， 曾签下滚石、僵尸、范-莫里森等著名艺人，但是错过了披头士】
那我就是狄克·洛威啊 I'm Dick Rowe.
就是那个在披头士的demo上拉了一大坨翔 I'm the guy who laid a giant shit on the Beatles' demo
再把它寄回去 还附带纸条写着 and mailed it back to them with little flags sticking out of it saying,
玩蛋去吧你们这群毫无才华的利物浦混蛋 的人 'Go fuck yourselves, you talentless Scouse bastards.'
那就简直是噩梦了 It's a nightmare.
帕克在这玩阴的呢这是 处处是陷阱啊 Loaded dice and poisoned chalices all over the fucking shop.
额 史蒂文 Well, Steven?
签还是不签 Yes or no?
-你职业生涯要完蛋啦 -干杯姑娘们 - That's your career over, then. - Cheers, girls.
-干得漂亮 -祝贺你们 - Well done. - Congratulations.
-干杯 -谢谢 - Cheers. - Thank you.
处处是陷阱啊 Loaded dice and poisoned chalices all over the shop.

不好意思 我一直想跟你打电话谈谈出版的事 Sorry. I've been meaning to call you about the publishing thing.
事实上 我是来办正事的 Actually, I'm here officially.
我想再跟你聊聊沃特斯的谋杀案 Need to talk with you again in connection with Mr Waters' murder.
哦有什么进展吗 Have there been any developments?
你说当天你在全英音乐奖的现场 You told me you'd been at the Brits...
然后在回家的路上把他放下了 and you 'dropped him off on the way back to mine'.
没错 Yeah.
但颁奖礼是在伯爵宫举行的 But the Brits were held in Earls Court.
你家住诺丁汉 而他家住 You live in Notting Hill and he lives...
住在梅达谷 lived in Maida Vale.
没错 Yeah.
-天啊 -看起来像绕了一大圈啊 - Christ. - Seems like a long way around.
你为什么不是先下车的 Why wouldn't you have been dropped off first?
快想个说法 Think. Think.
我有这么说过吗 Did I say that?
糟了 Shit.
不 是这样的 本来我应该先下车 Yeah, no, that was it, we were gonna drop me off first,
但我们身上都没现金 我又把钱包落在公司了 neither of us had any cash and I left my wallet in the office.
我们只能先去罗杰家，他家里有些钱 So we went back to Roger's place, he had some cash in the house,
嗯，就是这样 and, yeah, that was it.
对不起 我当时喝了点酒 你懂的 Sorry. I'd, you know, had a few.
好吧 OK.
所以你刚刚提到发行的事 So you were saying something about publishing.
是的 Yeah, I was.
我觉得 让一些发行商对你的作品感兴趣不是什么难事 I don't think we'll have any trouble getting a couple of publishers interested in your stuff.
我只是在想 你能不能再给我几张CD I was just wondering if you could get me a few more CDs.
没问题 Sure.
太好了 我会打几个电话联络下 Great. I will make a few phone calls.
抱歉忘了说罗杰那事儿给你造成困扰了 And I'm sorry about the confusion with the Roger stuff.
没关系 No problem.
那就好 No problem.
真糟糕 Fucking hell.
我不觉得调音软件高级到能把这些垃圾处理好 I don't think the auto-tune's been built that can handle this lot yet.
好吧 到此为止 让她们回家 Right, enough's enough Send them home.
我们找些专业歌手把这首歌录完 We'll get some session singers in and get it done.
听着 丹尼 And listen, Danny,
我他妈不在乎歌是不是她们唱的 I don't give a shit about them not being on the record,
但是我们一定得把录影的舞步搞出花样 but we've gotta do something about the fucking dance routine for this video.
是的 编舞已经被简化过了 Yeah. Choreographer's simplifying it already.
再简化下去她们就跟站在那瞎抖没有区别了 Simplify it much more and they're just gonna be standing there fucking wanking.
好了 姑娘们 Right, girls...
-真是见鬼 丹尼 -我会把这群天才赶出去 - For fuck's sake, Danny. - I'll go sort the talent out.

听着 我今晚要和艾希莉沃纳见面 谈关于懒人乐队的事 Look, I've got this Lazies meeting with Ashley Werner tonight,
所以你必须代我去看看乐队 so you're gonna have to go and see this band.
他们应该很不错 They're meant to be good.

像琼尼-米歇尔 玛丽安娜-菲斯福尔 或者凯特-布什这样的 like Joni Mitchell or Marianne Faithfull or Kate Bush,
从一开始就比登天还难 and it's uphill battle from the get-go.
但如果是像克莱普顿 或者罗德-斯图尔特这种，那待遇就完全不同了 But if it's Clapton or Rod Stewart or whoever,it's a different story.
是啊 女人老了的话，是会越来越难 Yeah, it does get harder for women as they get older.

我们都有压力 We're all under pressure.
你丢一堆屎在墙上，还总能粘住几坨呢 You throw enough shit at the wall, then something'll stick,
但这有什么难的？ but where's the talent in that?
你不如直接给一帮投机者排排队，扔到舞台上 You might as well line a bunch of chancers up on the stage,
让大众决定，谁是下一个冠单 let the public decide who's gonna be the next number one.
这工作不是这样的 But that's not the job.

被一些无意义的小事转移了视线 Side-tracked by detail and nonsense.
没有把握住大局 I lost sight of the big picture.
在这个喧嚣的环境中只有一件事最重要： Only one thing matters in this racket:
大热单曲，很多很多的大热单曲 big hit records, and plenty of them.
只要搞定这个问题，你想做什么都可以 Sort that out and you can do what you fucking like.

自己做掉自己的秘书还真是有点悲伤 There's a level of grief you'll take from doing your secretary.
哭红的眼睛，凌乱的纸巾 The red eyes, the balled Kleenexes,
肮脏的工作和办公室里冷冰冰的沉默 the substandard work and the frosty silences in the office.
另一种悲伤是你不想要的 And there's a level of grief you definitely don't want.
