汤姆·汉克斯在访谈中分享了他40年从影生涯的经验和感悟，他认为电影制作过程充满了混乱和乏味，对局外人来说可能极其无聊，因为他们看不到电影制作的精髓，那些看似琐碎的细节，实际上是电影中重要片段的构成部分。电影制作如同设计由诗人设计、音乐家组装、商学院毕业生监督，由注意力缺陷者驾驶的喷气式飞机，充满了复杂性、不可预测性和挑战。成功与否取决于团队成员的专业性和合作，演员很难判断自己的表演是否成功，只能依靠直觉和信念。演员的工作是提供创作素材，最终作品的成功取决于整个团队的努力。电影拍摄对演员的情感和心理状态有很高的要求，即使是经验丰富的演员和导演，也无法预知一部电影最终是否成功。即使在拍摄过程中，演员也难以预判最终作品的质量，只能专注于当下的表演。他以《拯救大兵瑞恩》的拍摄为例，讲述了在极度混乱和危险的环境下，演员如何专注于表演，并最终创造出令人难忘的场景。他还谈到了与不同类型导演合作的差异，以及与诺拉·艾芙隆合作的经历，他认为诺拉·艾芙隆的导演风格注重真实性和对话的简洁性，并强调了与导演沟通合作的重要性。他以《荒岛余生》的创作为例，讲述了电影的创作过程是一个漫长而复杂的过程，需要演员、导演和编剧等多方共同努力。演员在电影拍摄中，除了关注艺术性，也会关注一些实际问题，例如拍摄时间和镜头安排。他认为人们对电影的评价会随着时间的推移而发生变化，一部电影的最终评价取决于时间的检验，一部电影的成功与否，不能仅仅依靠当时的评价来判断。演员的公众形象会影响观众对他们作品的评价，但观众最终的评价取决于他们对电影本身的感受。 David Remnick主要负责引导话题，并就Tom Hanks的观点进行提问和探讨，例如电影制作的神秘性、演员在拍摄过程中的感受、不同导演的合作方式以及公众形象对演员的影响等。

Shownotes Transcript

Tom Hanks has been a constant presence on the American movie screen for forty years. He has played a mermaid’s boyfriend, an astronaut, a soldier on D Day, an F.B.I. agent, an AIDS patient, a castaway, and a strange, innocent character running across America—among dozens of other roles. Hanks won the Academy Award for Best Actor two years in a row. Now in his sixties, Hanks has added another line to his résumé: novelist. “The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece”—an overstuffed, often funny, work of fiction—captures what he’s learned from forty years in the business. Hanks describes the process of moviemaking as equal parts chaos and monotony. “If anybody who we call a noncombatant, or a civilian, wants to visit the making of a motion picture, they will be bored out of their skull,” he tells David Remnick, insisting that it’s impossible to know on set whether a production will be a masterpiece or a flop. “You do not know if it is going to work out. You can only have faith.”  

Hanks spoke with Remnick onstage at Symphony Space as part of The New Yorker Live to kick off his book tour.
