Her favourite directors to work with, the ones whose film posters are pinned to her office wall and who have become close friends, are the purists who retain an unusual degree of creative control, such as Leigh and Jane Campion.[qh]
她最喜欢合作的导演，那些电影海报被钉在她办公室墙上的导演，那些已经成为亲密朋友的导演，是那些保持着不同寻常程度的创作控制权的纯粹主义者，比如利和简·坎皮恩。[qh]

More typically, there is often intense financial pressure on casting.[qh]
更典型的情况是，选角通常会面临巨大的财务压力。[qh]
Independent films will often only be greenlit if there is a billboard-friendly name attached and there tend to be layers of producers and executives involved, or as Leigh put it: “The endless bullshit that goes on because endless people have to agree or disagree.”[qh]
独立电影通常只有在有一个适合登上广告牌的名字的情况下才会获得批准，而且往往会有多层制片人及高管参与其中，或者正如利所说：“没完没了的废话，因为没完没了的人必须同意或不同意。”[qh]
(In an industry beset by off-the-shelf flattery, Leigh pays Gold the ultimate compliment, of being “devoid of bullshit”.)[qh]
（在一个充斥着现成奉承的行业中，利给予戈尔德最高的赞美，称她“没有废话”。）[qh]
Gold's job is to secure those bankable names, but it is also to find the people who will become them.[qh]

After four months of seeing actors, the major roadblock in casting Chernobyl was the small but vital part of the general secretary of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev.[qh]

All casting begins with a list.[qh]

“I think more vibe than visually,” she said, one afternoon in her office.[qh]

It's definitely more of a feel and an essence thing.”[qh]

“You have to know their approach as an actor,” said Gold's casting partner, Sterne, wheeling around on his chair.[qh]

“You wouldn't go through Spotlight and say: ‘Let's find the baldest.'”[qh]

(Spotlight is a directory of around 60,000 working actors.[qh]
（聚光灯是一个约60,000名在职演员的目录。[qh]
Gold has probably auditioned all of them if you calculate that each of her 167 credits had on average 40 parts and she sees, in a deeply conservative estimate, 10 actors per part, which means roughly 400 auditions per project, which comes to a grand total of 66,800 actors over the past three decades.)[qh]
如果你计算一下，戈尔德的167个作品中，平均每个作品有40个角色，而她每个角色保守估计要看10个演员，这意味着每个项目大约有400次试镜，那么在过去的三十年里，她总共面试了大约66800名演员。）[qh]
