Done right, casting is an invisible act.[qh]

做得好的话，选角是一种无形的行为。[qh]

The choice of an actor should seem obvious in retrospect.[qh]

事后看来，演员的选择似乎是显而易见的。[qh]

No one but Eddie Redmayne could have played Stephen Hawking.[qh]

除了埃迪·雷德梅恩，没有人能扮演斯蒂芬·霍金。[qh]

No one but Claire Foy could have played the young Queen.[qh]

除了克莱尔·福伊，没有人能扮演年轻的女王。[qh]

Gold's industry peers liken the way she does her job to the practice of an alchemist, a snake charmer, a card sharp, as if she were performing some kind of shadowy magic.[qh]

黄金行业的同行们将她工作的方式比作炼金术士、耍蛇人、玩牌高手的做法，仿佛她在施展某种神秘的魔法。[qh]

“Her fingerprints are on so many movies,” said Ian McEwan, the author and screenwriter of On Chesil Beach.[qh]

“她的印记留在了很多电影上，”《在切瑟尔海滩上》的作者兼编剧伊恩·麦克尤恩说。[qh]

Peter Morgan, the creator of The Crown, described her as a benevolent pickpocket.[qh]

《王冠》的创作者彼得·摩根将她描述为一个仁慈的扒手。[qh]

“You walk in and you have a pocketful of what you think are brilliant ideas,” he said.[qh]

“你走进来，怀揣着满满一口袋你自认为的绝妙想法，”他说。[qh]

“By the time you leave you have none of those ideas any more and your pockets have been replaced with other stuff which you then find out is inevitably better.”[qh]

“当你离开的时候，你不再有那些想法，你的口袋已经被其他东西取代，然后你会发现这些东西不可避免地更好。”[qh]

Casting directors never have the final say on who gets what part – that privilege goes to the showrunner in television and the director and producers in film.[qh]

选角导演从来没有最终决定权，谁得到什么角色——在电视中，这一特权属于节目主持人，在电影中则属于导演和制片人。[qh]

Instead their art involves delicate persuasion, applying pressure without appearing to do so.[qh]

相反，他们的艺术涉及微妙的说服，施加压力而不显得在这样做。[qh]

“We have to stop people casting the wrong people,” said Gold.[qh]

“我们必须阻止人们选错人，”戈尔德说。[qh]

“We have to try and get them to make the right choices without bossing them around. It's quite difficult.” She paused.[qh]

“我们必须努力让他们做出正确的选择，而不是对他们发号施令。这相当困难。”她停顿了一下。[qh]

“This morning I found myself on the phone saying maybe I just don't care and you should cast the wrong person to play Prince Philip.[qh]

“今天早上我发现自己在电话里说，也许我只是不在乎，你应该找错人来扮演菲利普亲王。[qh]

Maybe I just don't fucking care … But then you realise you would be really shit at your job if you just let them have what they want.”[qh]

也许我只是他妈的不在乎……但后来你意识到，如果你只是让他们得到他们想要的，你在工作上就会很糟糕。[qh]

Gold spends a lot of time working with creative visionaries, which also means that she spends a lot of time working with congenitally insecure narcissists.[qh]

戈尔德花了很多时间与有创意的梦想家合作，这也意味着她花了很多时间与天生缺乏安全感的自恋者合作。[qh]

One morning she told me about meeting an eminent actor at a dinner the night before, whose opening line to Gold was: “Why never me?”[qh]

一天早上，她告诉我，前一天晚上在一次晚宴上，她遇到了一位著名演员，这位演员对戈尔德说的第一句话是：“为什么从来不是我？”[qh]

(“I was like: ‘Oh fucking hell.'”)[qh]

（“我当时想：‘哦，该死的。'”）[qh]

She collaborates with people for whom losing their shit is an essential part of the job, who have a tenuous grasp of the truth, who exist in what McEwan refers to as the constant state of “controlled panic” that is film-making.[qh]

她与那些失去理智是工作的重要组成部分、对真相的把握很脆弱、生活在麦克尤恩所说的电影制作的“持续的受控恐慌”状态中的人合作。[qh]

Mad bullies abound.[qh]

蛮不讲理的恶霸比比皆是。[qh]

She has worked with Harvey Weinstein.[qh]

她曾与哈维·韦恩斯坦合作过。[qh]

“I mean, I definitely had the sense of him being a disgusting old sleazebag. But just as a feeling. Nothing concrete.”[qh]

“我的意思是，我绝对觉得他是一个令人作呕的老混蛋。但仅仅是一种感觉。没有什么实质性的东西。”[qh]

How does she deal with them all?[qh]

她是如何处理这一切的？[qh]

“God, I don't know.I think I go quiet.”[qh]

“上帝，我不知道。我想我会安静下来。”[qh]

If you have a received notion of what a casting director might be like – brassy, formidable, yelling “next!”[qh]

如果你对选角导演的印象是——粗俗、令人生畏、大喊“下一个！”[qh]

then reverse this and you will get closer to Gold.[qh]

然后将此反转，你将更接近黄金。[qh]

She is 52, looks younger – perhaps thanks to a fierce yoga regime with a Scottish guru in Marylebone – has an asymmetrical, dark blast of unruly hair and multiple ear piercings.[qh]

她52岁，看起来更年轻——也许是因为在马里波恩与一位苏格兰大师进行了激烈的瑜伽练习——她有一头不对称的深色乱发和多个耳洞。[qh]

In conversation, she tends towards flippancy that disguises a pitiless work ethic.[qh]

在交谈中，她倾向于轻率，这掩盖了她无情的职业道德。[qh]

She also has a contagious enthusiasm for swearing, expletives rushing forth in a gentle voice often undercut by doubt.[qh]

她还对咒骂有着传染性的热情，咒骂声从她温柔的声音中涌出，常常被怀疑所削弱。[qh]

Many of her sentences begin: “I don't know”; many emails start: “SORRY!”[qh]

她的许多句子都是以“我不知道”开头；许多电子邮件都是以“对不起！”开头。[qh]
