"Silicon Valley" uses comedy to write a story full of jokes but of great practical significance.
Many people say that "Silicon Valley" is such a good show, why is it not popular in China?
It's simple-because it's so realistic, real things are often not beautiful and fail to meet the expectations of the public.
If you want to cater to the public's aesthetics, get thousands of favors and applause, just follow those routine stories to awaken the greed in the collective subconscious: Mary Sujiekesu’s life under the beautiful packaging, or the prince becomes a frog/fly on a branch The phoenix-like salted fish turn over, or the silly Baitian has become the winner of the palace battle after combating blackening, so that most people's hidden and unfulfilled desires can be satisfied in the virtual film and television-the life winner who compensates for people's fantasy experience.
Is there such a big winner in "Silicon Valley"?
Gavin, Jack, Richard, and even the landlord Eric, have all reached the pinnacle of life they ideally wanted.
The moment when you stood at the pinnacle of life? What did they win?
Is it wealth?
Eric became a millionaire when he was young because of the successful operation of the Internet project. He was the one who chose the former in money and career. As an ordinary person, he succeeded very early. Throughout the series, he always showed his love for money and the most greedy. However, in the first episode, he said in his heart to the male protagonist, "When I sold my company, I got the house, the money, the beautiful clothes and all the women’s respect for me. But there is always a hole in my heart, The hole is, what if I didn’t sell it? Since you want to start a business, let us witness how high this rocket can fly."
Richard is another himself in Eric's parallel universe. Through Richard, he can experience another possibility that he once missed and never forgets. The acquisition of wealth does not make people stop chasing. The final result of Eric's profligacy is that he is completely bankrupt and the first person to realize his disappearance in Tibet.
Is it beautiful?
There are very few female characters in the whole drama of "Silicon Valley", and it is extremely rare that there is no love line running through the whole drama at all. The goddess Monica, who combines beauty and wisdom, was greatly expected by the audience to be able to cp with the male lead, but she has never had a meal with the male lead alone, and was given a bad review by the whole company in the last season. . The great Gods of Silicon Valley may have had a carnival with beautiful programmers, beautiful hackers, and beautiful investors, but it is always the "simple and beautiful" program code that evokes the great passion in their hearts. ——"You really want to use my program, right? You are a program base." This is really the funniest joke I've ever heard.
Is it power?
Gavin, an industry leader, can move hundreds of millions at every turn, seemingly omnipotent. When the scandal was exposed by people splashing soapy water in the street, he pointed to the crowd and said: "If a hundred years ago, people of my status could let all these people die, only an order would be needed."
Possessing power can give people the illusion that they can control everything and do whatever they want. This may be the "winner of life" that many people are pursuing. To this end, Gavin can do whatever it takes. After being dismissed by the board of directors twice, being betrayed by the people around him, he flew to Tibet to practice and was asked to return to his post, and kept tossing back and forth-until he encountered the unstoppable gestures again, Gavin was expressionless for the first time. Said: I'm not angry at all, this endless competition has no meaning at all.
For the first time he felt bored, bored with power struggles.
So he began to withdraw from the arena, even looking for a surrogate to prepare for the little life of his wife and children. The "Queen Master" who knows his mind well only used a box of ice cream from his dead opponent to easily arouse the raging anger deep in his heart: powerful competitors have long established territory in all regions of the world, and you can escape. Can you escape your own demons when you are out of the arena?
Awakening? It's easier said than done!
Gavin continued to run like a guinea pig that couldn't stop, running through the pitted and pitted circles until the final blow.
Or, the ultimate realization of the ideal?
As a male protagonist, Richard is worthy of an "idealist." For him, money, name, and power are not that important. He single-mindedly just let his carefully developed algorithms get the best application-"change the world, let The world is getting better"-this seems to fit most people's positive setting of the image of entrepreneurs.
In the first episode, Richard gave an impassioned speech: "For thousands of years, people like us have been trampled underfoot by others, but now, for the first time, we are standing in an era where we can dominate and build an empire. We can be the Vikings of this world."
It sounds more advanced than the so-called winners of life who are greedy for money and power? He is indeed an ascetic who has worked hard for his ideals. He has almost fallen below his bottom line several times. He has repeatedly subverted himself and made great setbacks to finally make the company a unicorn in the industry.
Seeing that the victory is there, it seems that you can reach it with your hand.
At the last moment, he discovered that the so-called ideal of changing the world was a complete mistake! Not only could he not make the world better, but he became a source of chaos in a peaceful world!
Do you really want the world to be better, or do you just want to satisfy your heroic personality? You think you are making the world better. The question is, good or bad, who has the final say?
Finally, as a kind-hearted person, he chose to personally end everything he had created.
Overcoming the pursuit of personal heroism and choosing the peace and joy of more people in this world, Richard ended up as a teacher for the rest of his life.
——So, did they win?
They just understand better than ordinary people what is pain, what is more pain, what is helplessness, what is more helpless, what is pit, and what is pit after pit.
There is no need to plan, anyway, all plans in life will fail in the end, and the variables will never be in the plan;
There is no need to be attached. What you are attached to will definitely not be realized, what you are attached to and want will definitely not belong to you, but you can produce good results if you don’t want to insert the willow;
It doesn't matter whether the nobleman is the enemy, because you will never know whether the nobleman will let you step on the pit, and when the enemy will help you again.
It doesn't matter whether you lose or lose, because you never know whether you have a burden or a gift. The successor and the receiver changed in an instant.
It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, because you don't even realize that the convenience you create for the world is actually the root cause of the degradation of human functions. The obsession and adoration of high-tech are nothing but the second disease of this era.
"Silicon Valley", what do these two words mean? The people here are more talented than genius, more ruthless than the other, and more profitable than the other. There are millions of billionaires everywhere, and the world's great sages gather.
However, they all lost to one of the least "Silicon Valley" personalities-the ordinary, seemingly foolish, stupid "big head" in the eyes of the world.
Accompanying friends to start a business was rejected because of poor technology, but got a high salary in a competitor company and was on the cover of a technology magazine;
He was fooled into bankruptcy by his partner but became a beneficiary of a huge stake, wanted to go back to school but was accidentally hired as a lecturer;
When the hero Richard's bloodshed and vigorous entrepreneurial farce ended and he couldn't find a job, Datou had become the principal of Stanford, the only person in the entire Silicon Valley who was willing to give him a job.
The barrage is amazed and envied, but can you let you be the "big head"? ——Want the welfare of the big head, but do you have the big heart of the big head?
People in Silicon Valley can seem to be condensed into a constantly changing valuation bar, and the heartbeat frequency will rise and fall like a roller coaster with the valuation, sometimes bursting and sometimes dead;
Only the big head, no joy or worry, no sadness or fear. There is no winning or losing in mind, so I lie down and win the whole process.
In his life, it seems that he has never deliberately wanted to do anything. He was dismissed and unemployed. He was sad for two seconds; he was stunned, his face was expressionless; he was ridiculed, and he passed by with a smile; he was willing to be regarded as an assistant by an assistant; yes There is no money, and it seems to be the same to him.
This kind of state of mind, Lao Tzu has cultivated all his life, and the big head is born with it.
The so-called winner of life is because the spotlight on the stage stops at the most glamorous moment; the so-called failure is just a rest stop on the journey to success. Life is just a practice, and entrepreneurship is a powerful catalyst for practice. In the ups and downs of high-intensity and concentrated fate, you more quickly understand that when you think you are the winner of life, you are just guilty of a kind of arrogance similar to a control freak. ——Starting a business in Silicon Valley, and going to Tibet when unemployed. The great gods have to go through this process to find their spiritual refuge. This is not just a professional drama entrepreneurial drama, with such a profound connotation, it keeps my heart churning.
As the genius God said: "When I was young, I thought that life was just a series of accidents, meaningless, but as a data scientist, I have to realize that there are indeed traces and unquestionable laws. Surrender to the universe! Get right with the universe"—surrender to the universe is the ultimate way to conquer.
