The year before last, the first season of the documentary "Clarkson's Farm" was released, and Douban has scored 9.6 so far. The theme of
is: a British host named Clarkson decided to go home and farm.
Clarkson bought a large farm in 2008. In 2019, at the age of 59, he 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 audiences all over the world laugh...
When mentioning farms, everyone will think of dirty, smelly, messy scene.
Not to mention being dirty and messy is unacceptable, taking care of pigs and sheep can make people upset.
But this documentary is ingenious. It doesn't talk about how to raise poultry, but only records the story of the protagonist, the old man.
What is the charm of this old man who likes to drive?
should not be an Internet celebrity in terms of appearance and hair volume, but an ordinary old man.
In fact, this old man has a lot of background, not only a rich second generation, but also a famous former anchor of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
He is also the highest-paid car show host in the world, and millions of fans have petitioned for him to return to the old show.
He hosts a car review show on the next door show, and he just drives around in a Lamborghini. In the first season of
, he was showing off his wealth "maliciously" everywhere, even if he was working on a farm, he had to drive a Lamborghini tractor.
The farm he owns not only has beautiful scenery, but also has thousands of acres, which cannot be fit in a single shot.
Others advised him to buy a second-hand practical tractor for farming, but he didn’t.
customized it himself and got a Lamborghini tractor.
According to relevant policies and regulations, he has a piece of land that cannot be planted, and he only needs to weed once a year to collect money lying down.
neither did he!
He wants to raise sheep, and also uses drones instead of sheepdogs to drive the sheep.
If you have money, you will be self-willed. Rich people really have such a unique style of painting.
Can money help this sixty-year-old man succeed? The first season of
can be called a large-scale face-slapping scene, and the old man soon discovered that there are really things in this world that can't be done with money. The
Lamborghini tractor was driven once, and it fell into the bad ground and couldn't extricate itself. It couldn't pull out a bunch of trailers. The
drone did not deter the sheep in any way.
finally found out that only the shepherd dog is his real father.
Lamborghini, drones, these are just the beginning of the old man's "I have a genius idea".
Then he came up with many whimsical ideas, which made people dazzled...
But without exception, all of them were beaten in the face.
He decided to sell the groundwater from his farm, mineral rich, pure, all natural, and labeled as "absolutely no shit in it".
But the test result was immediately slapped in the face: it turned out that he had been drinking shit. When
was shearing, unfortunately he was kicked on a sensitive part.
is hilarious for a whole season, but it has a good rating for a reason, and the highlight is the last episode. After the
old man worked hard for a whole year, he calculated his total income for the whole year.
He got an unbelievable figure - £144.
is converted into RMB, which is about 1200 yuan.
A project that invested in Lamborghini tractors, drones, and various black technologies, and only earned 144 pounds for the whole year?
You know, a tractor costs £40,000. The old man
didn't complain, instead he said something touching.
I am a funny layman who only earns 144 pounds all year round. Those real farmers probably don’t earn much. What should I do when there is an epidemic?
Next time you meet a farmer, buy them a drink. It's normal for them to complain. It's not easy to be a farmer in this era.
He made everyone laugh for a whole season. Everyone thought that this billionaire was here to experience life, and by the way pity the peasants to gain a wave of goodwill, but he really sympathized with the plight of the peasants and understood the hardships of the peasants.
At this moment, he let go of his high airs, and he is no longer just a host, a rich man and a fake farmer.
He paid sweat, painstaking efforts and hope, became a member of the farmers, and became a witness and continuator of farming civilization. The theme of
is really much better than "Longing for Life", which advertises a slow life.
It has no script, and the characters have distinct personalities. The whole episodes are just done on the head, and the old man has the final say, which is outrageously casual.
This documentary has been filmed for a whole year, and it is indeed a "slow variety show" that allows us to see real farm life.
There is no idyllic song, no eating and drinking, and no visiting guests. It allows us to see the real life of the farm and the fate of the peasantry—
No matter how hard you work, you can’t make any money all year round.
In a way, so is life itself.
But through the most painful moments, we can always see beautiful fruits.
In the second season, the old man's hilarious and ugly stories completely ignited the farm, and there was an endless stream of customers who came to buy agricultural products, even blocking the traffic. The old man
had to cut off 4,000 square meters of wheat in tears to build a parking lot.
However, various technical problems were encountered in harvesting the wheat, which greatly delayed the progress. The house leak happened to rain overnight, 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 starts from calf, then to dairy cows, to dairy products, and then to beef production. A dairy industry chain has been established. Can the old man
succeed this time?
No more spoilers, welcome to follow the story of the second season of "Clarkson's Farm".
