A small question in Silicon Valley: Is Jianyang really Yang Jian?

The sixth and final season of the American drama Silicon Valley has come to an end. The overly powerful magic piper is seriously self-destructed and dissipated, and at the same time, many protagonists are scattered in all directions, which can be said to be a perfect ending. The author began to chase after me in college, and this drama really accompanied me in part of my youth.

However, when I revisited this play recently, I suddenly thought of a question: What is the real Chinese and English name of the role of Jianyang by China actor Jimmy O. Yang?

Short, emaciated and weak, with a ridiculous accent, in previous seasons, this role only existed on the edge of the image of China people habitually vilified by American film and television industry. Its main plot function is to play the protagonist of the landlord Erlich Bachman. But since the fifth season, since T·J· Miller, the actor starring Bachmann, quit for some reason, Jianyang has replaced most of Bachmann's plots and become an important role-of course, in the last episode, he even directly replaced Bachmann's identity:

But what's the name of this character? Why do you ask? First, English names, perhaps because the pronunciation of Americans is different from ours. At first, most subtitle groups were translated into Jing-Yang or Jin-Yang, and later they became Jian-Yang. Later; There are many Chinese names, which were translated into Yang Jian in previous seasons, and Jinyang and Jinyang's translations were also seen in the later period. But what is the Chinese and English name of this role?

First, determine the spelling of English.

In the seventh episode of Season 4, Jian-Yang spelled his name on his smart refrigerator:

Moreover, when God G hacked into this smart refrigerator and added the famous and important D animation, Jianyang saw it and accused God G of misspelling his name:

Ok, the case is solved, it is Jianyang, and all other spellings are wrong.

However, there is another problem, that is, it looks like Chinese phonetic alphabet. Which is the first name and which is the last name?

This is also a problem. In recent years, under the call of cultural self-confidence, some overseas Chinese will introduce their first names to foreigners according to the habits of their home countries, that is, after their surnames; However, in the long history of communication between China and foreign countries, most China people who communicate with foreigners take their surnames first and then, and a large number of them even give themselves an English name (to be precise, Ansa's name). This is the reason for many old jokes (such as six hearts and seven square films), and Yang Jian's translation is also based on this habit.

But which is the last name? When we saw the beginning of the fifth season, S05E0 1, Jianyang himself said:

The tone in which Americans speak Pinyin is really confusing. But anyway, Jane's surname is affirmative.

According to the above analysis, Emperor Wen of Sui's translation based on Jianyang is wrong, and so are Jinyang, Jinyang or other translations based on Jinyang.

However, there are very few words with Jane as their surname. After a brief investigation of hundreds of surnames, we can know that there are ten surnames with simple pronunciations, such as Kan, Fu, Concurrent, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane, Jane. After a brief look, I think Jane is the most likely. This surname ranks 32nd in Taiwan Province Province, but it is mainly because I am a fan of the Three Kingdoms. There is a Jian Yong in the Three Kingdoms, haha.

As for Yang, I still think Yang should be the best.

Jianyang-simple sunshine. Haha, what about this name?
