Stand-up comedian Pang Bo told a joke on the show last year: he has friends who are preparing a farming show, allowing a group of boys without the power of chickens to grow 10,000 catties of food in half a year.
The audience at the scene and in front of the screen all laughed and leaned forward and back.
10,000 catties of grain, even the uncle of the peasant has to work hard, can you still count on a group of male dolls who are not diligent and do not divide grains?
Who would have thought.
After half a year, Pang Bo's friends actually came back to fill in the pit---
Let's Farm
At the beginning of the show's launch, many netizens reacted exactly the same as when they heard the joke.
"The Star Edition of "Metamorphometer" is here?"
"A group of boy bands who want to be popular are fooling around again?"
However, with the follow-up of the show, the style of painting in the comment area has gradually changed to this.
"I go, they actually come really?"
"I used to watch the boy group dance, and I will watch the boy group farm in the future."
The Douban score soared from the initial 8.4 to 9.0, and if nothing else, there should be room for improvement.
A group of teenagers who can't tell who it is, go to the countryside to farm together and continue to receive so many praises, which makes people addicted, why?
Let's take a look.
First, the beginning of "one life", equipment all rely on "picking"
November 19, 2022.
Ten "paste bean" teenagers who had never known each other went to a rural village in Zhejiang Province and began a 192-day peasant life here.
The oldest of them is 27 years old and the youngest is 18 years old.
The reason why it was jokingly called "paste bean" by netizens is because among the 10 people, except for Jiang Dunhao, who won the championship in the music program "China's New Song", the others are basically small transparent inside and outside the circle.
As a quasi-idol, who is ready to go out of the circle at any time.
When we first met, everyone was well-dressed and polite.
Imagine the life of an upcoming farmer together.
Until you arrive at the station.
The "paste beans" who were still laughing and laughing in the last second instantly fell from their dreams back to reality.
Compared with other variety shows, the situation in front of them can only be described by a "miserable" word.
Stayed in the house.
From a distance, it looks like an abandoned warehouse, and up close it is a country wild house.
The outside is potholes, and the inside is full of walls.
If you don't control the volume well, you have to stir up dust all over the house.
Even the second-hand shelf bed kindly sponsored by the program group had to be assembled and pieced together by themselves.
As for kitchen utensils, food, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners and a range of daily necessities.
The program team spread their hands: We don't know what it is.
Start-up capital?
Oh, these eight fields of rice in front of you, after harvesting and selling, are your start-up capital.
The premise is that if you sell the wheat next year, you will have to pay it back with interest.
Hunger and cold, hunger and hunger.
But if the contract has been signed, can I still go home hungry?
Really start with a life, and the equipment is all about picking up.
The teenagers could only roll up their sleeves and get dry.
Second, farm, boy
Just introduced to farm work, this group of pampered teenagers all felt quite happy, and even enjoyed a little.
Wait until the real knife is done for a meal.
Some of the teenagers have torn their pants, some have their bodies on the verge of collapse, and some are only supported by their souls.
Even the walking posture seems to go back to ancient times.
Rao is so.
After a hard day, they harvested only 0.4% of the total area.
At this rate, it is impossible to harvest eight fields of rice by the 25th.
Fortunately, there is always no shortage of big cleverness at critical times.
The next day, the teenagers who ate a long and wise meal caught up with the times.
Unlock modern tools such as semi-automatic, fully automatic harvesters, and manual threshing machines that have been seen in textbooks.
Another round of enthusiastic practice.
This time, some of them planted themselves in the ground, some were tossed by the machine to the spot and stormed away, and some wore the unique "trap" fixed shoes.
At the end of the day, a group of spiritual young people who were originally alive and jumping around, all tired like frosted eggplants.
At the end of the night, he was also complained about the slow progress by the owner of the granary.
The teenager was depressed, but he didn't have time to be aggrieved.
Because according to the weather forecast, there will be rain in the next two days.
Rain means that the harvester cannot be used, the harvester cannot be used, and the harvesting task cannot be completed within the allotted time.
How to solve the worry?
Only overtime.
A few days afterward.
After the harvester was stuck in the mud 37 times and repaired 48 times, the teenagers experienced a series of extreme experiences such as swollen feet, "cut" madness, and dizziness.
All eight fields of rice were finally harvested within the allotted time, with a total of 62.66 tons of paddy harvested.
As the harvest was successfully completed, the tired and happy teenagers finally burst out laughing.
Third, is the variety show real?
As the show is updated.
Some netizens who were moved by the juvenile performance but were scared by various variety show routines couldn't help but sigh with mixed feelings: Is the variety show real?
To be honest, it was really difficult to say before.
But this file, I want to believe it's true.
Netizens who have chased know that the core content of the show is farming.
In order to find young people who are really willing to farm, the program team interviewed nearly 300 people during the preparation period, of which "working personally" persuaded most of the applicants.
The 10 teenagers selected have not only been photographed in real terms, but also learned cultural classes, medical rescue, fire safety, cooking, carpentry, bricklayers and other skills, and have also obtained licenses for modern agricultural tools such as tractors and harvesters.
That is to say, before the official start of shooting, they have already had a solid experience of the hard work and boredom of farming.
Therefore, so far in the show, the audience has experienced the deepest two words from them - truth.
Rice fields drained that time.
Inexperienced teenagers held several meetings to dig drains.
During this period, they experienced manual trenching, digging ditches in the rain, digging garbage with their bare hands, and causing a small dispute along the way.
The drainage ditch was successfully dredged with their concerted efforts.
The second famous scene is the unloading of fertilizer.
30 tons of fertilizer, a total of 600 bags (50 jin per bag).
Spread evenly to the head, that is, 60 bags per person.
The first car was fine.
The energetic teenagers are all giggling and hot.
They also joked with each other and said that today they are friends who play "" together.
Arrived at the second car.
It was past six o'clock in the evening, and it was still raining.
Tired and cold, they began to lose their strength.
Although various labor-saving methods such as assembly lines, manpower transmission, and stimulation methods were tried, the exhaustion and collapse caused by high-intensity and heavy physical strength still made the audience feel painful.
When the last bag of fertilizer was unloaded, Zhuo Yuan, who was hungry and cold, was tired and cried.
This is not hypocrisy.
Counting his age, he was born in 99 and was also a child in his early twenties.
Even if we are replaced by us in front of the screen, who dares to say that we can do better than them?
Not only physical work can make people cry.
Small setbacks in life can also make people angry in minutes.
After the rice was cut, the teenagers went to the village to find someone to borrow a threshing machine.
Looking at the group of children who had not dried up in front of him, the owner of the machine was full of undisguised disgust, complaining that the teenagers had caused him trouble, and complaining that the rental price was too low.
After opening your mouth, you also need a deposit of 2,000, not a single point less.
Wait until it is hard to lift the machine back.
Everyone discovered that the antique threshing machine that had been borrowed after many pains could not be used at all.
Endure the pain and return the loss?
The owner of the lotus in the mouth is another scolding output, and in the end, it is the teenagers who offer to bear the rent for one day, and this small storm can barely be solved.
Build a greenhouse to buy film that time.
Because of the unscrupulous seller's own mistakes, the teenager who did nothing was scolded several times by the other party, in order not to affect the progress of the construction of the greenhouse, several people had to swallow their voices to give people a smile.
This is life as it is.
There is warmth all the time, and there are pitfalls everywhere.
It is said that reality shows are the easiest to expose the personality of celebrities.
The experience of this group of young people in the show and the subconscious reaction when they encounter problems, no matter how you look at it, it does not look like there is a script.
If you insist that they are acting, it is also the Oscar level per capita.
Fourth, there are thousands of variety shows, why do you love this one?
In addition to being down-to-earth and really dry.
There are two more reasons why netizens like this show.
1. The intentions and sincerity of the program group
As mentioned above, the core of the show is farming.
In line with this principle, you will find that all the guests in the show have no personality, no separate story line, no CP, no sensationalism, and no conflicts and reconciliations that can be on the hot search in minutes.
From beginning to end, everyone's only goal was to farm.
During the rice harvest, some people accidentally cut their fingers, some people unknowingly clashed, and some silently shed tears.
In this regard, the pictures given by the show are all pointed to this point, and did not take this opportunity to hype up in order to win greater attention and traffic.
The teenagers move roses together.
Chen Shaoxi caused alkalosis due to overwork and lack of air circulation.
This kind of shot, which should have been concealed, the program team instead released it all generously, allowing the melon-eating masses to watch from beginning to end.
Completely unaware of some of the controversial implications that this may bring.
The ingenuity of the show was revealed one by one in the director's follow-up interview.
The picture of the guest being injured is because he feels that this kind of material that hits the audience's emotions is not necessary to cut compared to the peasants who work all year round.
There are no guests introduced at the beginning of the show, in order to avoid giving people the impression of being too "showy".
It is better to farm directly from the beginning, so that the audience can independently recognize them in the process of everyone's labor.
The intentions and sincerity of the program group were all felt by the discerning audience.
2. Through the program, the audience can feel the hard work of farmers and the progress of science and technology up close.
农民，他们至今还一直沿袭祖辈传统，日复一日地春耕秋收，肩挑背扛。
When encountering a double rush during the busy agricultural season (harvesting rice while planting wheat), you have to race against time against time, and there is not enough time during the day, so you sacrifice rest and night to make up.
In the anxiety of not waiting for the holidays, they are almost all year round, let alone holidays and commuting times.
But that's not the hardest.
From ancient times to the present, the most difficult thing for farmers has always been to rely on the sky to eat.
Take the rice harvesting in the show as an example.
Why does the director have to harvest the rice in the field in such a short time?
Because it is necessary to plant the wheat before the winter solstice.
Missing the season will affect the next year's harvest.
Who knows that the sky will not be fulfilled.
Soon after the wheat was planted, it encountered continuous heavy rainfalls, which caused the wheat fields to be flooded with stagnant water.
In this case, the most effective and only way is artificial drainage.
As a result, there was a miserable situation of the teenagers all covered in mud, digging ditches and digging ditches in the dark and rain.
Hard work is real.
But to be fair, it was an unforgettable experience at best, but for real farmers, it was the norm that could happen at any time.
Fortunately, with the gradual promotion of harvesters and drones, farmers' farming efficiency began to improve greatly.
Looking at the methodical efficiency of the harvester, and the figure of the drone handsome sowing and fertilizing, you have to sincerely sigh at the power of technology.
Today, farmers who have got rid of manual harvesting, turning the land and sowing seeds can finally rely on the convenience of modernization, and can breathe a little during the busy agricultural season, so that they will no longer work so hard.
In addition, the show also insists on live broadcasting every day.
The time is half past nine in the morning.
In the midst of busy meetings and reports, office workers occasionally click on the screen, only to find that there is a group of young people similar to their age, who are feverishly fertilizing and sowing seeds and selling local products.
Will the corners of your mouth rise instantly, feeling relaxed and healing?
Fifth, farming is so hard, why doesn't anyone quit halfway?
Just saw this show, many netizens' comments on "Ten Sons of Farming" are red.
There is one thing to say, the doubts of netizens are not wrong.
Combined with the resumes and circumstances of ten people.
Although Jiang Dunhao has won the music complex championship before, his subsequent development has been mediocre.
Zhao Yibo has been running the crew to submit resumes since graduation.
Zhao Xiaotong graduated from Chinese opera and acted in TV series, but he never had the opportunity to get out of the circle.
Li Hao's dream is to be a director, good at making videos, and before that, he basically didn't know the land.
Lu Zhuo and Zhuo Yuan are members of a boy group who have debuted for many years but are unknown.
Wait a minute.
They are all low-flow idols with both appearance and talent.
They are not short of talent, only luck and chance.
So if their original intention to enter the show is purely because they love farming, not to mention netizens, I'm afraid even they don't believe it.
But what does it matter?
In the day-to-day labor.
In terms of skills, all ten people have transitioned from jerky to skilled.
Looking at the spreading action of this line of clouds and flowing water, if it weren't for the show, wouldn't you have thought that the operator was an idol, who had debuted for many years?
In terms of ability, from a plate of scattered sand to the division of labor and cooperation, and then to the current large-scale management, everyone's transformation and growth are in the eyes of the audience.
Personally, from the initial politeness and restraint to the current "fierce man dispute" that does not give in to each other, although the image is far from the beginning, this group of teenagers who are bonded by the land have also formed a deep friendship in the daily life of getting along day and night.
What's even more amazing is that.
When they mentioned the joy of farming and their heartfelt love for the land again in front of the camera, no one questioned their show except for likes.
From settling in with "each heart" to unknowingly falling in love with this land.
Hypocrisy and sincerity, the audience can clearly distinguish.
Their persistence also affected the flying guests.
The first time Zhang Shaogang and the Mai family came, they bought them air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines and other electrical appliances out of their own pockets.
Looking at the ruins of the houses and the elated teenagers in front of him, Mai Jiajia sighed: If (they) are just for fame, this way is too clumsy.
With a good start, subsequent guests will soon learn from it.
Pang Bo and Gong Jun went to the supermarket to shop as soon as they arrived.
Xiaojia and Xu Zhisheng used their own advantages to teach everyone a lot of life skills.
The empathetic re-employment boy group took the initiative to ask the director as soon as they came, what are their shortcomings?
As the warmth is sent more and more, the farming is more and more convenient, and the audience urges more and more frequently, this group of teenagers who were once confused seem to have found their value in the intimate contact with the land.
No matter what kind of original intention they settled in the show, with the current state, none of them should leave early.
If they don't leave, the audience will keep watching.
Because, this kind of group of people insists on doing a "silly thing" show, everyone loves to watch.
