The year before last, the first season of the documentary "Clarkson's Farm" was released, and Douban has a score of 9.6 so far.
The theme: A British host named Clarkson decides to go home and farm.
Clarkson bought a huge farm in 2008, and in 2019, the 59-year-old wanted to experience the happy life of a farmer.
As a result, in the first season, he made a lot of ridiculous stories, which made the audience all over the world happy...
When it comes to farms, everyone thinks of dirty, smelly, and messy scenes.
Don't say that dirty and messy is unacceptable, taking care of pigs and sheep will make people upset.
But this documentary is ingenious, it does not talk about how to raise poultry, but only records the story of the protagonist's old man.
What is the charm of this old man who likes to drive?
Looking at the appearance and hair volume should not be an Internet celebrity, just an ordinary old man.
In fact, this old man has a lot of origins, not only a rich second generation, but also a former famous anchor of the BBC.
He is also the world's highest-paid car presenter, with millions of fans petitioning him to return to his old show.
He hosted a car review show on the next door show, casually driving a Lamborghini around.
In the first season, it was to watch him show off his wealth "maliciously" everywhere, even if he worked on the farm, he had to hard get on the Lamborghini tractor.
The farm he owns is not only beautiful, but also has thousands of acres, the kind that can't be put down by a single shot.
Others advised him to plow the land or buy a second-hand utility tractor, but he didn't.
Customized it myself and went to get a Lamborghini tractor.
According to the relevant policy, he has a piece of land that cannot be planted, and as long as he weeds once a year, he can lie down and collect money.
Neither does he!
He wants to raise sheep and use drones instead of shepherd dogs to drive sheep.
If you have money, you are willful, and the rich people really grow the land with such a unique painting style.
Can money help this septuagenarian succeed?
The first season can be called a large-scale face-punching live meeting, and the old man soon discovers that there is really something in the world that can't be done for money.
The Lamborghini tractor drove once, and it fell into the rotten ground and couldn't pull it out after getting a bunch of trailers.
Drones didn't do any deterrent to the sheep.
In the end, it was found that only the shepherd dog was the biological father.
Lamborghini, drones, these are just the beginning of the old man's "I have a genius idea".
Then he also had many whimsical ideas, which were dazzling to see...
But without exception, all of them were slapped in the face.
He decided to sell the groundwater from his farm, which is rich in minerals, pure, and natural, and labeled "absolutely no in it".
But the test results immediately hit him in the face: it turned out that he had been drinking.
While shearing the sheep, he was also unfortunately kicked in a sensitive part.
Although the whole season is so funny, it is rated high for a reason, and the highlight is in the final episode.
After a full year of hard work, the old man calculated his total income for the whole year.
He got an incredible figure – £144.
Converted into RMB, it is almost 1200 yuan.
A project that invested in Lamborghini tractors, drones, all kinds of black technology, only earned £144 a year?
You know, a tractor costs £40,000.
The old man did not complain, but said a touching paragraph.
I, a funny layman, earned 144 pounds all year round, and those real farmers are estimated to not earn much money, what should I do when I encounter the epidemic?
The next time I meet a farmer, I invite them for a drink, they complain that it is normal, it is too difficult to be a farmer in this era.
He made everyone laugh for a whole season, everyone thought that this billionaire came to experience life, and by the way, he could pity the farmers and pull a wave of good feelings, but he really empathized with the plight of farmers and understood the hardships of farmers.
At this moment, he put down the high shelf, and was no longer just a host, a rich man and a pseudo-farmer.
With sweat, effort and hope, he became a member of the farmer, a witness and continuator of the farming civilization.
This theme is really much better than "Longing for Life", which advertises a slow life.
It has no script, the characters have distinct personalities, and the whole episode is done by patting the head, and the old man has the final say alone, which is outrageous at will.
This documentary was filmed for a whole year, and it is indeed a full-fledged "slow variety show", allowing us to see real farm life.
It has no pastoral songs, no food and drink, no guests to visit, allowing us to see the most real life of the farm, and the fateful fate of the peasant class -
No matter how hard you work, you won't make money all year round.
To some extent, so is life itself.
But through the most painful moments, we can always see beautiful fruits.
In the second season, the hilarious and ugly story of the old man completely set the farm on fire, and the customers who came to buy produce came to buy agricultural products in an endless stream, and even blocked traffic.
The old man had to tearfully cut off 4,000 square meters of wheat to build a parking lot.
However, the wheat cutting encountered various technical problems, which greatly delayed the progress, and the house leaked overnight rain, and the wheat was wet by the rain.
So the old man decided to change the track, stop planting, and change to breeding.
Raising dairy cows, starting from calves, to cows, to dairy products, to beef production, a dairy industry chain has been wholeped.
Can the old man succeed this time?
Without many spoilers, welcome to follow the story of the second season of "Clarkson's Farm".
