Chapter 902: 884. Too much is as bad as not enough.

Making Kudzu Root Powder is a big deal, and Zhang Yanping didn’t just start working casually. After much consideration, Yan Ran and others were not around—how could this darn exam take so long? Now there’s no cameraman left!

So, after a discussion by the pond, they roped in two weather-beaten uncles.

"Uncle Zhang, the vice president of our city’s photography association."

"Uncle Li, from the photography association, but he has won an award for his photo ’Early Lotus.’

Most importantly, the two photography-loving uncles were very willing to invest. Zhang Yanping’s negotiation skills are unknown at this moment; he took off his backpack, revealing two or three cameras, a stack of tripods, and several long and short lenses.

The most impressive vice president modestly opened a squarely-shaped small bag, from which a drone flew out.

Under the drone, they attached another squarely-shaped small camera, the vice president was very humble: "This camera isn’t new, bought it last year, a GoPro, it cost only three to five thousand yuan, nothing much, it has stabilization, the kind that doesn’t shake even if it spins 360 degrees, 4k, still decent enough."

Song Tan: ...

Zhang Wang’s family was completely anxious: "What? Are you filming me?"

"No need to be nervous, no need to be nervous." Uncle Li smiled kindly: "Bro, don’t be nervous, just do your thing, I’ll snap a few photos, and shoot some extra footage."

"Xiaozhang said you guys need to edit a pastoral video—oh my, I don’t really understand these young people’s stuff, I’ll start shooting like this first."

That’s what he said, but his hands were swiftly setting up a tripod, and immediately, the camera was mounted and he snapped two serious observation shots.

He spoke something about adjusting lighting and color, appearing very professional.

"Buzz..." the drone soared into the sky. The vice president appeared very professional: "I’ll start with a few aerial shots for empty scene transitions to create an atmosphere."

Zhang Wang’s family got even more nervous: "What if it falls and breaks? The camera is so expensive..."

"Not expensive at all!" the vice president was very generous: "The whole camera cost only a few thousand yuan, it’s not even as expensive as one of my lenses."

The simple farmer Zhang Wang’s family looked at the several lenses they set up, visibly tensed up at this point.

But Zhang Yanping was visibly thrilled: "Oh wow, you even have a drone! So trendy! So trendy!"

The vice president laughed, showing off his boss persona.

Then he turned his head and winked at him:

"I couldn’t buy that fishing bait last time. You said to make a video for you, so you should say later to send me something!"

After thinking, Zhang Yanping earnestly said: "You have a drone, on my end... during the New Year fishing, I’ll specially save two crucian carps for you!"

"I want grass carp!" the vice president was very calculating: How big can a crucian carp be? Since they’re both tasty, might as well ask for the big one.

"Alright!" Crucian carp or grass carp, both are fine, Zhang Yanping was very generous: "Once the video is done, each person gets ten portions of bait."

The two exchanged glances, both satisfied with the deal.

Meanwhile, Uncle Li had already started advising Zhang Wang’s family: "Old brother, do you have any clothes made of old coarse cloth at home? Big cotton-padded jackets, long gowns, anything, change into one—what about cloth shoes, do you have?"

Zhang Wang’s family was startled, looking down at his old army green jacket and similarly colored shoes: "Isn’t what I’m wearing okay? Did I not wash somewhere clean?"

Uncle Zhang shook his head: "Not at all, but shouldn’t we be shooting a pastoral farm video? The more your outfit fits the character, the better the atmosphere—do you have clothes like that? Something with a fastened collar?"

How could he not?

Zhang Wang’s Family fell silent for a while, and then went back to the room to find an old, washed-out blue cloth coat patched up here and there. At this moment, for some reason, he didn’t feel nervous at all, and even chuckled:

"My dad hardly ever wore this when he was alive. He passed it on to me, and I only wore it once on my wedding day. Never thought I’d put it on again now..."

As for the cloth shoes, there’s not much to say. His old lady used to make a few pairs whenever she had time, and he usually wore cloth shoes at home anyway.

It’s just that later on, when working in the fields or the mountains, cloth shoes with a thousand-layer sole just weren’t as durable as plastic ones.

Now wearing the faded blue cloth coat, with polyester pants that have lost their original color on his legs, and old-style thousand-layer sole cloth shoes on his feet...

Zhang Wang’s Family suddenly seemed to ’get’ the essence of the video and proactively asked, "Do I need to put on leg wrappings too?"

The Long March of Red Army was twenty-five thousand, he knew, wouldn’t it look like he was not showing the hardships well enough if he didn’t add leg wrappings?

Ah, no need for that...

This truly shocked the two photographers, who quickly advised him, "Too much is as bad as too little, too much is as bad as too little, this is just right..."

Zhang Wang’s Family felt a bit disappointed, but Zhang Yanping praised him: "Wow, Uncle Zhang, you really have some creative ideas—but we won’t need that this time. Nowadays farmers don’t wear leg wrappings anymore, it’s too exaggerated."

"How about this, it’s quite sunny today, wear a straw hat."

"Don’t wear it, don’t wear it!" The vice-president stopped him: "Wearing a sweater and then a straw hat? We need that feeling of sweat and steam coming off... But now it’s daytime, we’ll save the steam shot for the evening."

"We’ll shoot a bit more early tomorrow morning while there’s frost."

Zhang Yanping’s eyes lit up: "Great, great! It’s good to have experienced folks like you two! I’ll have Qiaoqiao start a live broadcast right away!"

However, the vice-president frowned slightly: "But during the live broadcast, if our cameras get caught in the frame, is that appropriate?"

"It’s fine, it’s fine!" Zhang Yanping said to himself that you have no idea about our broadcasts. It’s all about just streaming once and having a moving picture, whether it gets caught in the frame or not doesn’t really matter!

Oh, the viewers nowadays are so forgiving!

After thinking a bit, he called over Secretary Xiaozu: "I’ll post a link in the preview of Qiaoqiao’s live broadcast room, you get your live broadcast room ready, we’ll use that to make our first live broadcast with Kudzu Root Powder."

"Let Qiaoqiao handle the first broadcast."

Secretary Xiaozu was very touched: "To have Qiaoqiao drive traffic to this degree..."

In this day and age, not even real brothers might share their audiences! Lao Song’s family is really something...

But Zhang Yanping sighed: "If we wanted to chase trending popularity and traffic, Qiaoqiao’s broadcasts would not be like they are now."

But Song Tan said that the family doesn’t need the money from live broadcasting, just letting Qiaoqiao be happy is enough.

So who feels this the most? Naturally, it’s the MCN Institution that couldn’t reach an agreement before.

They’ve tried several times to hire water armies to make trouble during live commerce sessions, jumping up and down in the bullet screen area picking out faults and saying they won’t buy, but ended up being branded by the netizens as fraudulent, greedy characters trying to monopolize treasures—with contemporary netizens championing defiance—

You say it’s not good? Fine, then you don’t buy it, I will!

Now they’re almost numb from frustration.

Why? Why are there people who don’t care about fans or money when they live broadcast?

Traffic! Do you understand traffic?! And that new rural broadcaster, whether it’s corn or potatoes... can’t you fight a bit harder?
