First, let's talk about some defects
The first season is mainly to explain the background of the plot, and give the characters in the order of appearance.
This approach is very risky because the plot advances too slowly.
Because the competition in American dramas is very cruel, it takes a whole season to explain the background, and it is very likely that the second season will be gone.
Therefore, in order to balance the slow progress of the plot, the screenwriter used yellow storm scenes to neutralize it.
However, for people like me who watch the drama and focus on the rough and simulated scenes, the pornographic scenes are simply cumbersome and polluting the eyeballs.
Second, the captain's imperial way
The main storyline of the first season is: Captain Flint, based in Nassau (hereinafter referred to as Big F), wants to rob the Spanish treasure ship and want to get rich overnight. The voyage diary of the Spanish treasure ship was recorded in a log book, but the page of the key route was stolen by a sailor pretending to be a chef. The captain and his men retrieved the route record, snatched artillery equipment, and brought all the crew to grab the money.
There are Eleanor, a businesswoman who relies on her family to run Nassau, a woman who is not clear about Eleanor, and an ex-boyfriend who is also the captain. These people just appeared on the scene and didn’t do anything big, nothing. A remarkable place. In the first season, the only thing worth talking about was the big F. Because, Big F is obviously faced with more dilemmas. From the way he solves various dilemmas in turn, it can be seen that this character is still very full.
Big F, to be a captain, still has two brushes.
1. Good at doing mass work
At the beginning, the big F was rebelled by his subordinates because he did not take the crew members to eat meat, and wanted to elect another captain.
So, not long after the opening, the big F had a duel. After the duel, luckily survived.
But the cause of the duel was that the crew members robbed several times in a row without making any money.
As the captain, you need to solve the doubts in the minds of the crew in time.
The big F Nahui is still looking for the voyage record of the Spanish treasure ship, that piece of paper was stolen, and I don’t know who stole it.
But he judged through various details that the thief was on the boat, so he took advantage of the situation and made a mistake.
At the same time, he explained the reasons why he wanted to rob other ships without oil and water.
Dispel the doubts of the crew.
This is very important. The crew has doubts in their hearts. If they are not resolved in time, a second and third captain will be recommended.
2, win over the deputy
Although Big F is the leader of the captain, he is essentially a cruel person, who doesn't believe it.
Although no one believed it, he hid it well to gain the loyalty of his deputy.
Under his players, he values one thing very much, that is, he must maintain his authority in public.
This is particularly evident in the second in command Gates.
Gates, as the second in command on the ship, understands this very well. No matter how big the dispute in private is, the authority of the captain must be upheld in public.
It is estimated that those who do not know how to maintain the authority of the captain in public have long been done away.
Of course, although he reused Gates, he still has a back hand.
Once Gates threatened his authority and said that he wanted to explain the captain's sinister intentions to the crew, he didn't hesitate at all, and he broke Gates' neck directly.
3. Strong determination
To be a leader, decisiveness is the key.
Of course, this kind of decisiveness is often a decision made in an instant, which has deepened into a habit.
However, when he wins over Billy, he pointed out the importance of decision.
At that time, they went to sea to grab the cannon of another ship, and he expressed his decision-making ideas.
He pointed out that according to his understanding of the opponent, the opponent has three paths and needs to first judge how the opponent will go. Of course, the probability of success in this decision is 30% each. But a decision must be made, and the crew must not know that he is only 30% sure. Because publicizing the decision-making process to the crew has no meaning other than disturbing the minds of the military.
Things are done in secret.
Of course, there may be wrong guesses, but this is a risk that must be taken in a decision.
What should I do if I guess wrong?
Don't worry about it, let's go to that point first. Don't think ahead, what to do after guessing wrong.
Because, when things don’t happen, you pre-set the scene first, and you will limit yourself to death. When things really happen, they will definitely be different from their preset scenes. Therefore, the essence of decision lies in JUST DO IT!
In the first season, because it was a big foreshadowing, there was no operation worth analyzing. It's not easy to just see the big F.
