We kind of have genes in the blood.
That kind of primitive longing, including but not limited to: making some onions, leeks, and lotus in a pot, going to the farmhouse to personally pluck turnips, chasing chickens all over the yard to do aerobics, and the first reaction when I saw the barren clearing was "planting some sweet potatoes and yam eggs in this piece must grow well"...
Search engine type: Chinese, garden, vegetable growing three keywords, you can get a lot of news reports. A woman's mother-in-law, who is in her 50s, flew to Australia to help with her children, and in her spare time transformed her family's unfinished garden into a well-known small vegetable base. Not only can they not finish their own food, but they can also send neighbors, and the ecological cycle of self-sufficiency has attracted the amazement of crooked nuts.
However, probably related to the feudal land distribution system, Chinese's agricultural consciousness lacks intensive thinking, always staring at one acre and three points to do things, taking the refined and family-oriented route. And watching the British comprehensive "Clarkson's Farm", former BBC host Jeremy fell in love with farming and budgeted £250,000 on agricultural machinery at every turn. It's really deterrent to this scale.
Unlike the poetic smallholder work of "Longing for Life", Jeremy guarded 6,000 acres of land and worked diligently for a full year to make a profit of £144. Let's just say that Uncle Jie will probably earn more than this when he returns to the BBC as a doorman for a week!
It is necessary to recommend Uncle Jie to learn from our "Book of Getting Rich", do not be obsessed with modern machinery, it is also important to choose the right direction of breeding and planting! Just like in the information flow advertisement of the landlord - heavy snow is coming, do you choose coal or wheat? Choose wheat, suffer from extreme cold weather and suffer serious losses. Choose to sell and lose a lot.
When it comes to making money, choice is always more important than farming technology. But if you return to nature, hands-on participation may be the only source of happiness. And when we can only "watch" the fields through the screen, what are we appreciating?
A teenager who farms
"The program of the past two years is like a serial, you see my sister "Riding the Wind and Waves" there, my brother is there "Breaking Through Thorns", and a group of teenagers are farming." Pang Bo's ridicule in "Talk Show Conference" was finally "slapped in the face" by his personal experience in "Let's Farm": "Sorry, come here for 15 minutes, I already know I'm talking nonsense." ”
What can make stand-up comedians "oral" is really only the amount of naked labor. The good thing about "Let's Farm" is not that netizens love to say that "the male protagonist of farming has a face" (after all, the white-skinned boy is a little worse than the black-skinned rough man), but a solid labor task.
First of all, the basic situation, the program recording location is in Sandun Town, West Lake District, Hangzhou, where there are two crops of rice and one season of wheat. The two crops of rice are sown in spring and summer and harvested in summer and autumn, and wheat is sown in winter and harvested in late spring. The teenagers began recording in the autumn when the rice was harvested and wheat was planted. Time is tight and the task is heavy, and at every turn it is 10 people who harvest 140 acres of land and carry 30 tons of fertilizer.
Such heavy farm work washed away the handsome baggage of the teenager and became a man in the field. One rainstorm night, the teenager who finished the drain said that he couldn't be happy. This is indeed different from the imaginary pastoral, Li Hao said bluntly: "At first, I thought it was raising chickens and sheep, and getting some soy sauce and sausages." "Hey, this must be "Longing for Life" too much.
Unfortunately, "Let's Farm" used a lot of effort to destroy the teenagers to the point of discoloration, but it still lacked the heat of the circle. It is not as good as the crazy nostalgic "Infinity Beyond Class", nor as good as the stable candy "Half-Cooked Lovers", and sometimes even lost to the pasty "Our Inn".
The main reason is that the program flow is designed too primitively and simple. After watching a few episodes, I feel that the show is still in the experimental period, and the model is not mature enough.
Compared with romance or outdoor variety shows, "Farm" does not find a routine to follow, and the narrative of the show is always simple "problems arise - try to solve - encounter new obstacles - finally solve". For example, if the bamboo pole leading to the canal is not long enough, then tie another bamboo pole. The crow's drinking thinking, repeated several times, everyone is bored.
At the same time, most of the teenagers are not famous, let alone undertake the drama script. The few contradictions are too gentle compared to their peers. Zhao Xiaotong had a quarrel with the harvester master, and Zhao Yibo and Li Gengyun quarreled once about the digging of the drainage ditch. are all specific analysis of specific problems, but not as much as other variety shows.
The role of celebrity guests is also very strange, which is equivalent to sending warm poverty alleviation cadres to the fields. Zhang Shaogang and the Mai family went to the countryside, and An air conditioning solved the problem of heating the farmhouse, and by the way, the word "Xi" for youth literacy was four points not three.
Gong Jun, Pang Bo, and Xiaojia went to the small supermarket to purchase materials for the teenagers, making the boss smile (the pots that no one cared about were all cleared). Or Zhisheng's really made Hard Candy Jun admire, and the electric welding prodigy really welded a strong reinforced basketball frame for the teenagers!
Man who farms
The rough male protagonist is domineering and spoils his wife, and the female protagonist is spoiled by him to be squeamish and lazy! Whenever they see such a profile, who would refuse to open the novel to glance at it? Our love of rough farming is the same as the obsession of European and American housewives with firefighters and plumbing repairmen.
There is an old Hong Kong film, which is the rough man film and television TOP1 in the heart of Hard Candy Jun. Wen Bixia, the OL heroine in the city, learned that her boyfriend was kidnapped in Myanmar and needed ransom, and accidentally got the diamonds stolen by the gangster Zhang Yaoyang from the big guy. After the incident is revealed, the two travel to Myanmar together to experience various imaginative adventures. The bold figure in the film is really shave, wide shoulders, narrow waist, hips and waist sockets, smiling and humble personality is really just the right sexual tension.
Thanks to the short video, let's have a telescope in the reinforced forest to peek into the daily life of the rough man. Xiao Chenyi, who was once madly obsessed with Hard Candy Jun, is a farming blogger in Zhenxiong County, Zhaotong City, Yunnan. To be honest, his farming skills and the level of the lower strips are really not good, but he can't resist the feeling of being solid and reliable with a body of tendon meat.
In one episode, he took off his jacket and leftover vest and cut wood with a chainsaw, and the muscle lines and tendons on his arms were really the essence of European and American astringency.
Is that pulling a chainsaw? That's tugging at my heartstrings! You think that the comment section is an infinite yearning for idyllic life, but in fact, the front row is full of color embryos in dangerous imagination. Some people are concerned about "how the hands and hands are injured, and the distress is blown", and the following netizens ridiculed: "Your abacus sounded so loud that I heard it in Jiangsu." ”
"Ishimura Satsuki" kind of husband and wife Tanada Hard Candy Jun also loves to watch, the story of the two stumbling for six years makes people cry. Satsuki's husband, Adin, was once disliked by Satsuki's parents for his education and origin. Ah Ding pulled his luggage away and looked at Xiao Yue's teary appearance, which was too distressing.
Ah Ding is definitely handsome in the village man, but his "cold mouth and hot heart" personality is sometimes unbearable. In one video, he complained that Satsuki got up late, went to the market, but remembered to buy leather bands that his wife had unintentionally mentioned. Satsuki accompanied her mother-in-law in the hospital to take care of her mother-in-law, and while Ah Ding made pig's trotter soup for her mother, she mixed spicy pig's trotters alone considering Satsuki's appetite. This man really has nothing to say about his wife and work except for his mouth being tough. Fifty or sixty pounds of large logs, carrying a dozen stunned is not snorting.
There are also the more evil "farming double male protagonists" Haohang brothers, who are often ridiculed in the comment area for "The Retired Soldier King and His Little Wife". Hard Candy Jun also didn't want to misinterpret the brotherhood, but every time Xiaohang was angry with Brother Hao, he would coax him with his heart. The key is not a brother, who has the patience to be spicy.
Once Brother Hao made grilled fish, Xiaohang ate the meal and said, "To be honest, your dish is very average." Brother Hao immediately raised his hand: "I didn't draw you today, it's hard, right?" "There is also a time, Brother Hao is pulling radishes in the field, and Xiaohang is holding a cow's tail back. Brother Hao asked him where he got the money, and Xiaohang said slyly: "Don't you have it in your wallet?" ”
Brotherly mode of getting along, and then a rough man and a milky girl, it is better to cooperate with the rural picture than to delay the drama.
A variety show for farming
The literati of ancient China also farmed, but the level was worrying. Tao Yuanming may not be diligent in weeding, and he has a situation of "grass containing bean seedlings", and if he doesn't look carefully, he thinks that bean seedlings are weeds!
Du Fu planted lettuce, sowed it beautifully, and it has not germinated after 20 days. "To the twenties, and the lettuce is not dismantled, and the solitary amaranth is green." The specially grown lettuce ignored him, and the wild amaranth that no one cared about grew gratifyingly.
Advise the king to go less to blindly reclaim the wasteland, and the agricultural channel will see the real chapter. Send Jun a copy of the "Book of Getting Rich", fruitful and fruitful. When I was a child, I read the "Book of Getting Rich" and really learned a lot of strange agricultural and forestry knowledge from it. The most absurd rumor is that when the agricultural and military channels were not separated, a bay and bay spying on intelligence through the channel, but was successfully countered by the "Book of Getting Rich" and became rich by raising pigs.
Wealth is everywhere, and actions make dreams come true. Who hasn't been inspired by the twists and turns of the story to breed bamboo rats, grasshoppers, stone frogs, house chickens, and sea ducks? As a senior viewer, Hard Candy Jun summarized the routines of the show as follows - the protagonist has a firm goal, ignores the opposition of his family to start a business, and is destroyed by a ruthless natural disaster after the initial improvement, and his wife finally succeeds after surviving the difficulties together, earning tens of millions a year.
Investment needs to be cautious, and breeding should be careful. Without detailed examination and rushing into the sea, it is easy to turn the "Book of Getting Rich" into the "Book of Negative Things".
And from the enduring "Book of Getting Rich", to "Star to My Home", which sent stars to the countryside, to "Longing for Life" involving farming elements, and now "Farm the Land", which is completely based on the theme of farming, farming has always been a strange flower in the variety show category.
Most of the farming scenes in these programs are quite different from real rural life, and some audiences will have a psychological gap of real experience. Cecilia Cheung once came out of the circle with a pig feeding clip in "The Star Comes to My House". But if you look closely at the little sweet potato vine she cut off, you can see that you can't feed the pigs with eager eyes in the fence. Hard Candy Jun's mother went to cut hogweed after school when she was a child, and she brought a big bamboo basket. When you get home, you break it up and pour it into the trough with chaff and leftovers.
"Celebrity to My House" is more like a role-playing game, the star knows that he is not a real daughter-in-law, and amateurs also know that the star is going to play a while. So after the broadcast, the audience didn't care about the labor content of planting vegetables, picking tea, feeding pigs, and fetching water, but only remembered Qiu Cera's embarrassment of taking children, Li Jinming's embarrassment in the face of the deterioration of the relationship between Yu and Jiao, and the beef when Huang Shengyi and her mother-in-law worked.
"Longing for Life" is a mimetic environment, and in terms of their usual amount of labor, it is not enough to eat and eat. In my impression, the most tired may be planting rice and pulling turnips. And Zhang Zifeng and Peng Yu plucked the radish that period, and the radish all blossomed.
As long as you have planted it, you know that radishes taste like cotton wool when they bloom, so the show missed the best harvest period for the crop. Ni Ni Yang Ying went to the field to fish for snails, which basically belongs to playing in the water, which is really not as interesting as watching people take out yellow eels in short videos.
Some shows refuse to work hard to feel fake, but the realistic "Let's Farm" is also a little dissuaded. In the grasp of the virtual reality of farming, future variety shows need to be further explored. Because if you are too tired, it may make the audience react: It turns out that I just like to watch handsome guys.
