Chapter 294. Edible leaves
On the other side, Liu Xueyan saw Li Meiyun's answer, and the stone in her heart finally landed.
Among this group of contacts, Li Meiyun was the penultimate to reply to him, and the third to agree.
This group of "video producers" is a group of people who need special treatment that Xu Rui has ordered before, first of all, they are almost all newcomers with no video production experience, secondly, they are all loyal users of Chuyin Video Network, and finally, Liu Xueyan's goal is to train these budding newcomers to be video makers who can independently create videos and upload them.
These people come from Tiannan and Haibei in China, and at first glance they have little in common, but they are an important part of Xu Rui's plan for the future development of Chuyin Video Network.
For example, Li Meiyun, Liu Xueyan according to Xu Rui's ideas, set the direction for her is to show the style of Sichuan and Shu farmers, and at the same time express a fairy-like feeling with high-quality appearance.
Chuyin Video Network is now expanding its audience, in addition to animation-related, other types of videos are gradually increasing, and video producers like Li Meiyun, who can give busy urban young people psychological comfort, Xu Rui naturally has to consider.
Not to mention, when exploring overseas markets in the future, these video makers who can show the humanities of Chinese characteristics will be loved by crooked nuts, which is Xu Rui's layout in advance.
Originally, Li Meiyun wanted to show the process of making dishes, specialties and other items like a teaching video, but Liu Xueyan thought that this was too ordinary, although this is a food and terroir video, it should not be expressed in a monotonous form.
However, Liu Xueyan soon learned that Li Meiyun herself had a little research on traditional Chinese clothing, so she formulated a new plan.
That is to let Li Meiyun wear traditional Chinese clothes, that is, Chinese costumes, to do these things.
Just imagine, an antique beauty, dressed in back-to-basics costumes, picking green fruits in the field, feeding horses and chopping wood, and living a fairy-like leisurely life, such a video will definitely make those who work in the city refreshing.
Li Meiyun seems to understand whether she understands or not, she first took her younger brother who is still in high school, and spent a whole week learning video shooting and basic editing techniques, as for what to shoot, she already knows what to shoot.
In late April, when the spring was shining, Li Meiyun changed into her own improved traditional clothes suitable for sports, took her younger brother, and took the camera to her own mountain.
She let her younger brother take charge of photography, and she walked in front with a bamboo basket, looking for it all the way, and taking pictures of some rural scenery from time to time, just like ordinary style photography.
Coming to the destination, it was a lush clump of trees.
This is a plant called Stinky Yellow Vitex, although the name has a smell, but in fact it is a kind of vanilla, which has the effect of removing wind and evil, promoting dampness and detoxification, and belongs to the grass and trees planted incidentally on the mountain.
At this time, the weather was just right, and the stinky yellow wattle branches were luxuriant, Li Meiyun patiently picked the new green leaves among them, and soon picked a basket.
Back home, filming continued.
She expertly placed the leaves in a wooden barrel, added water, pounded and stirred them so that the juice overflowed, and then used a dustpan to filter out the residue, leaving only a viscous green liquid, which was laid out and left outside for a while.
It wasn't until the evening that Li Meiyun's stinky yellow vitex juice, which had solidified into jelly, was withdrawn, gently cut it with a knife, cut it into small flat squares the size of a palm, and put it in clean water to wash it slightly.
Then, Li Meiyun took two pieces of tofu jelly made of this stinky yellow wattle, cut them into strips, put them on a plate, and sprinkled them with green onions, ginger and garlic, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and chili oil and pepper oil that every household in Sichuan and Shu have.
These are all things she used to do, so the shooting is unpretentious and natural.
As for this dish, it naturally became a side dish for the family dinner in the evening.
After the filming was completed, she and her brother started the editing work, unlike some food bloggers who like to explain and produce at the same time, she did not include her own voice throughout the whole process, only the sound of birds chirping as embellishment, plus some melodious folk music as background music, the whole video is full of a Taoyuan hometown-like texture.
She didn't rush to upload this video, but sent it to Liu Xueyan for check.
Liu Xueyan had just finished the special announcement of "The Court of Words and Leaves", which was about to be broadcast, and received Li Meiyun's video, and after he watched it, he sighed.
This kind of quiet and beautiful rural life is indeed desirable, even if you know that the real farm life may not be so elegant, but people will still be willing to believe in these beautiful things.
Since ancient times, it has been a long-cherished wish of Chinese people to return to the countryside, and many poets have also sung about pastoral life, and at this moment, Li Meiyun's video shows such a scene.
After being in the cage for a long time, you can return to nature.
After sorting out his thoughts a little, he sent a reply to Li Meiyun.
[Liu Xueyan]: This video is very good, especially the use of background music, which suddenly makes the style of the whole video higher.
On the other end of the network cable, Li Meiyun was also a little embarrassed when she saw Liu Xueyan's praise.
[Li Meiyun]: Thank you for your great help, so I uploaded it like this?
[Liu Xueyan]: Yes, have you got your account ready?
[Li Meiyun]: Uh-huh.
After Li Meiyun confirmed with Liu Xueyan, she suppressed and uploaded this video, and her account on Chuyin Video Network is called [Li Qiqi], because she ranks seventh among the children of her father's brothers, and she has a nickname of Xiaoqi since she was a child.
This video called "Edible Leaves" was not clicked on in the first two or three days, but soon, because the side face of Li Meiyun on the cover was so good-looking, many people looked at the cover and clicked in, but they were attracted by the content.
A week later, the video of this living area has more than 200,000 views, entering the top 10 of the regional rankings, and because of its unique content, coupled with the beautiful Li Meiyun, it quickly captured the hearts of the public, and the followers of the account [Li Qiqi] quickly reached 50,000.
Li Meiyun discovered for the first time that many people like such a simple and simple farm life, and even many people are willing to try this kind of life.
She had the idea of whether to stay in her hometown, but before she was in a hurry to make a decision, Li Meiyun began to prepare for the next video.
At the same time, on Liu Xueyan's side, after Li Meiyun, the video made by the last person who replied to him has also been published.
Unlike Li Meiyun, who takes the small and fresh route, this video maker takes a down-to-earth route.
Liu Xueyan opened the video.
