配乐大师：约翰·威廉姆斯（2024）

By the '90s, he'd become kind of a brand name.
(《辛普森家庭》,麦特格朗宁主创)
(《盖酷家庭》,赛斯麦克法兰主创)
他的很多音乐已经深植在 大多数人的基因裡了
It's in most people's DNA, a lot of his stuff.
(2006年 《NBC週日晚间美式足球主题曲》)
当你以为没有新花样时 他就会让你出其不意
Just when you think you've exhausted it all, there he is.
就是NBC新闻的主题曲
Oh, it's the theme for NBC News.
(1985年NBC新闻的《使命主题曲》)
对约翰来说,他并不满足于 只写风靡一时的配乐
For John, it wasn't enough just to write the great blockbusters.
他想从事各式各样的创作 你就会想到奥♥运♥
He wanted to have a variety of work. And you think of the Olympics.
我还记得小时候看奥♥运♥时...
(凯伦强森中士) (乐团首席)
I remember watching the Olympics as a young child...
...然后注意到音乐
and noticing the music
发现它有多麽地动听
and how amazing it was.
他们打给我说
They called me and said,
“约翰,你能为奥♥运♥写开幕曲吗?”
"John, will you write a piece for the opening of the Olympics?"
(洛杉矶纪念体育场)
我喜欢奥♥运♥的盛大排场 和运动员们所展现出的
I loved all the pageantry of it and the heraldic aspect
代表自己国家的一面 以及他们是如何激励人心
of what the athletes do and how inspiring they are.
后来我就做了三首或四首的音乐
And then I've done three or four of them since.
我认为以奇特的角度来说 他是有史以来最大咖的流行明星
I think that, in a strange way, he's kind of the biggest pop star ever.
(电影配乐大♥师♥约翰威廉斯 和洛杉矶爱乐乐团)
今天其实是我在 好莱坞露天剧场第45年的日子
Today is actually my 45th year at the Hollywood Bowl.
45年
Forty-five years.
我从1978年就来到这裡
I started there in 1978.
现在依旧待在这个地方
And I'm... [laughs] ...still here with it!
一开始这件事 让我感到很难为情,可以这麽说
At first, I was very shy about it, I guess I can say.
我跟洛杉矶爱乐乐团的经理说
I said to the management of the Los Angeles Philharmonic,
“你不需要我,你已经有祖宾梅塔了
"You don't need me, you have Zubin Mehta,
他是世上最伟大的指挥家,为何你要...”
he's the greatest conductor in the world. Why do you want..."
“但不行,观众希望你来当指挥”
"But no, the audience wants you to do it."
古斯塔沃,真高兴见到你
Hey! Gustavo. Simpatico.
我认为没有《星球大战》 这一切就不会发生
I don't think that would have happened without Star Wars,
它建立起人们举办电影音乐会的做法
which established this practice, now worldwide,
现在全球都很盛行
of people doing concerts of film music.
不只是我的音乐 还有现今和过去的电影作曲家
Not just my music, but current film composers and past ones.
光剑
Lightsaber.
好讚,它们不会很重
Wonderful. Oh, they're not too heavy.
不会,挺好的 - 挺好的
No, it's good. - It's good.
好酷喔 - 像这样
Oh, that's cool! - Like so.
这位是王冰
This is Bing Wang.
她是今晚的独奏者,最优秀的小提琴手
She'll be soloist tonight. Most fantastic violinist.
我非常期待
I am so excited...
与配乐大♥师♥约翰威廉斯一起表演
...to perform with Maestro John Williams.
这些是乐谱
These are the victims.
这就是魔杖
This is the magic stick.
就这样
That's it!
没了
So.
(杜达梅与洛杉矶爱乐乐团)
他是唯一有这番成就的人
He's the only one who can do what he can do.
有多少作曲家能写出这样的古典音乐
I mean, how many composers do you know who write so classically
还能广受欢迎?
and yet are so popular?
没有约翰,这一切就不可能实现
None of this would have been possible without John.
真的很厉害,那可是一万七千人
It's amazing. I mean, it's 17,000 people.
这是白色的西装外套
So this is the white jacket.
我会穿上这件外套,它是我的工作服
And I put it on. These are my work clothes.
这就是我在指挥时的必备服装
This is... This is what I do my hammering with.
这样就对了
That's the way.
有去好莱坞露天剧场看过约翰威廉斯
Anyone who's been to see John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl
演奏他的配乐的人
performing his scores
才会意识到自己实际上所看到的
recognizes that what you're effectively seeing
是古典管絃乐团
is a classical orchestra.
然而观众抱以欢呼,彷彿这是披头四
And yet the audience cheers like it's The Beatles.
去看这些音乐会的不是一群音乐菁英
You know, these aren't musical elitists who go to these shows,
他们只是想听好音乐的普通人而已
these are everyday folks who just want to hear great music.
(《帝国进行曲 (达斯维斯的主题曲)》)
(来自《星球大战:帝国大反击》)
约翰的音乐连接许多世代
The music of John connects many generations, you know...
那就是其美妙之处
...and that is something that is beautiful.
观众的年龄层有老有少
I mean, there's ages from young to old.
你一往后看只看到光剑而已
You know, you look back and you just see nothing but lightsabers.
大家都热爱他的音乐
And everyone loves the music.
数千人包围著他
To be surrounded by thousands of people
挥舞著光剑来歌♥颂这个人以及他的成就
who are waving lightsabers and celebrating this man and what he has done.
每次看到都令人感动 而且他当然是实至名归
It's such a beautiful and obviously well-deserved thing to see every time.
那种气氛远胜于我们对一般音乐会的想像
The atmosphere, it goes beyond what we think about a regular concert.
观众陷入疯狂,就像是一场摇滚乐演唱会
The people, they went crazy, was like a rock concert.
有关《帝国进行曲》和光剑的事
The thing about "The Imperial March" and the lightsabers,
是随著岁月不断演变后的结果
it's something that has evolved over the years, you know.
在多年以前有两三位观众挥舞光剑
Used to have two or three in the audience, you know, many years ago,
后来变成几百个人
and then a few hundred.
现在则是有好几千人在挥舞光剑
Now we have, I don't know, how many thousand out there.
实在很美妙
It's fantastic.
他们认识约翰和他的音乐
They know John. They know John's music.
那是一种爆发力
And it was an explosion.
充满快乐的爆发力
An explosion of happiness.
刚才很有趣吧? - 真是太棒了
That was fun, hey? - That was fantastic.
成功了...
It works. It works!
我这辈子实在非常幸运
I've been impossibly lucky in life.
我再婚了,没错
I have remarried, yes.
我娶了莎曼珊威廉斯
To Samantha Williams.
她是很棒的女人
She's wonderful.
我在50年前遇见她
I met her 50 years ago.
我们一起同甘共苦
And we've been together through a lot of wonderful things.
我深表感激
And I'm deeply grateful.
有很多事情让我感到无比荣幸
There are so many things that have given me great honor.
奥斯卡奖是大多数人所认为的重要里程碑
The Oscars are a mark of achievement in most people's minds,
我对于自己获得的奥斯卡奖 感到欣慰和自豪
and I have enjoyed and very proud of the ones that I have received.
我被提名过54次
I've had 54 nominations.
我想要向美国影艺学院的音乐分会
And I have to express a great bit of gratitude
表达我最大的感激之情
to the music branch of the Academy,
这就代表真正获得同侪的认可
which is really recognition from your peers.
谢谢
Thank you.
我认为必须讚扬他的最主要原因
The main reason I think it's important to celebrate him
是要为了那麽多的欢乐向他道谢
is just to say thank you for that amount of joy.
能够创作出随处带来欢乐的作品
To make something that brings joy everywhere it goes
是罕见且珍贵的
is rare and precious.
没有人听到他的音乐会度过糟糕的一天
And nobody has a worse day from hearing some of his music.
约翰威廉斯对音乐很有鑑赏力
John Williams has that great ear for music.
他把听到的声音写下来 而不是把知道的东西写下来
And he writes what he hears, more so than writing what he knows.
所以他的音乐创作 才会这麽强而有力和历久弥新
And I think that's why it's so powerful and it will always endure.
约翰一举起他的指挥棒
The minute John raises his baton,
并演奏第一首主题曲 让人不禁发出讚叹之声
and plays the first theme, you just go oh, my God,
下一首又是经典之作
here's another one.
屡试不爽
Every single time.
他具备这种不可思议的超能力
He has this unbelievable superpower
可以创作出让人第一次听到
of being able to create melodies that you will hear for the first time,
就觉得无法抗拒的旋律
and feel like it was inevitable.
让人难以忘怀
And you can't forget it.
只要还有管絃乐
As long as there is orchestral music,
你就会看到管弦乐团 整晚卖♥♥力演奏他的音乐
you're gonna see orchestras that devote entire evenings to his music.
就像他们演奏贝多芬或盖希文 或者是莫札特的音乐一样
Just as they would with Beethoven or Gershwin or Mozart.
我在拍电影时,特别是很难拍的电影时
When I'm making a movie, especially when I'm making a really tough film,
制♥作♥过程很艰辛 我会想著总有一天这都会过去
it's a tough production, I think about, well, someday this will end,
然后我就能坐在管弦乐团前
and I'll be able to sit down, just in front of the orchestra
置身于指挥台后面
and behind the podium.
花六天或八天的时间
And for six or eight days,
聆听约翰威廉斯的全新神作
listen to fabulous new compositions by John Williams.
这就是我对每部电影最期待的事
It's what I look forward to on every single movie.
(索尼影视娱乐)
(加州,卡尔弗城) (2024年1月18日)
我从未问过强尼自己是否 能指挥他的管弦乐团,一次都没有
I've never asked Johnny, "Could I conduct his orchestra?" Never once.
但今天我想拿著指挥棒向你致敬
But I would like to take the baton today in your honor,
麻烦大家把注意力放在那块遮簷上
and if everybody would direct their attention to the marquee.
恭喜你
Mazel tov.
(约翰威廉斯音乐大楼)
我第一次来到这间片厂是在1940年
First time I came to this studio was in 1940,
