After a long silence, Ding Wen thoughtfully said, "Qiangzi, do you think this fishing livestream has potential? I think it's quite advanced!"

"You plan to start livestreaming?" Chen Xueqiang immediately straightened up in his seat.

"Isn't it just research? People like us, besides drifting through work, don't have other ways to make money!

Fishing is so expensive, and all we have is our fishing skills. If we don't rely on it, what else can we rely on? I think it has potential. What's your opinion?" Ding Wen asked seriously.

Chen Xueqiang took a drag on his cigarette, pondered for ten seconds with his eyes half-closed before saying deeply, "To speak of advancement, livestreaming fishing is indeed advanced, it's a new thing.

Look at Zhang Yang's livestream room; his debut broadcast today gained over six thousand fans!

To be blunt, all the anglers we've met in real life added together don't total six thousand people.

If we're running a fishing tackle shop with those six thousand followers, imagine how many more items we could sell!

But trying to start this thing has quite a high threshold.

Remember when we followed trends and partnered on that public account, working hard on a few episodes? Learning editing, registering, uploading, sharing all the time on social media, but ultimately getting less than two thousand views; nobody watched it!"

After Chen Xueqiang finished speaking, Ding Wen fell silent!

Both of them have restless personalities, lacking skills in other fields, apart from working, fishing is the only skill they have.

Previously, they noticed Zhang Yang with a photographer shooting content at the fishing spot and found out by subtle inquiry that it was for a fishing public account.

It was said that once a public account gains followers, it can take ads and promote products. They were very enthusiastic and quickly decided to follow suit.

At that time, their idea was simple: if Zhang Yang earns ten thousand, they'd be content with earning five thousand. After all, it's done during leisure time, just to make some extra cash to support fishing.

However, neither had a foundation in filming and editing, and they didn't want to spend money. The self-perceived exciting videos they shot had poor image quality, and the editing was a mess.

Plus, they were a bit unlucky, didn't encounter good fishing conditions during the first few episodes they shot, so the content uploaded had predictable results.

Few views, difficult to gain followers; after four episodes were uploaded, the followers didn't even exceed double digits, and some follows were even from their accounts; it was quite tragic.

"I still want to give it a try!" About thirty seconds later, Ding Wen said with determined eyes.

"What are you thinking, let me hear!" Chen Xueqiang did not continue to dampen the other party's enthusiasm and showed a patient attitude.

Ding Wen continued, "After the failure with the public account, I've also reviewed and summarized some lessons!

First, we lack professional skills in film shooting and editing, our equipment isn't up to par, plus, without experience, didn't capture exciting fishing conditions! That's why we uploaded a bunch of garbage that nobody cared about!

However, livestreaming is different from the public account!

A mobile phone, a data card, and a livestream stand are basically all you need! I just checked on Taobao for a special external lens like the one Zhang Yang uses, it's just a few hundred yuan!

Among us, claiming top-notch fishing skills in the country would be bragging, but we're definitely better than the average viewer watching the livestream!

You saw Zhang Yang's fishing livestream just now; he simply captured a few points of interest to fishing people!

Livestream watching floats, learning skills, host interaction! If he can do these, can't we?

Talking about theoretical knowledge and lineage, your background is much more illustrious than Zhang Yang the country lad!

Just mention Dragon King's Grudge fishing learning and Master Li Cheng'en's name, who wouldn't give us some respect in the circle?

I've decided; we'll partner again, one of us as the on-camera angler, the other off-camera doing commentary! We'll try in a fishing spot where we're confident about the conditions!

Anyway, we're idling, the cost of trial and error isn't high! If it works out, maybe we'll achieve fishing freedom!"

After hearing Ding Wen's words, Chen Xueqiang, who wasn't initially very enthusiastic, was visibly moved!

Putting everything else aside, Ding Wen said something quite well. Anyway, we're idling, apart from wasting a bit of time, other costs are indeed low!

"Well, the HD lens and livestream equipment..."

"Don't worry about those, I'll buy them myself. Even if the livestream doesn't work out, they'll be mine!"

"Okay, if you really want to do it, I'll give you a hand!"

Seeing no personal investment or risk, Chen Xueqiang gritted his teeth and agreed!

After deciding to start livestreaming, the two stopped watching Zhang Yang's live and quickly searched on Taobao, intending to first buy the livestream lenses and equipment!

...

While Ding Wen and Chen Xueqiang were busy preparing for their livestream, Zhang Yang's livestream had unconsciously continued for more than two hours. The fishing conditions at the reservoir were showing very promising, with a strong bite throughout.

With intentional control and adjustments by Zhang Yang and Meng Fan, the biting pace at the spot remained comfortably moderate.

People chatted, watched the fishing and strikes, and learned something. The livestream room's topic flow and atmosphere were excellently cultivated.

Looking across the entire Yingke Live platform, the current leading entertainment hosts only have around ten thousand viewers per session, and that's not mentioning the many bot viewers propping up those numbers.

While Zhang Yang's debut broadcast, after accumulating popularity over two hours, had already surpassed twenty-five hundred concurrent viewers.

The number of people listed on the gift leaderboard broke through the five hundred mark, and the topic activity in the room had even surpassed those with ten thousand viewers.

As a niche outdoor fishing livestream, this debut performance was quite remarkable.

Zhang Yang habitually glanced at the backend data of his account, very satisfied with the debut performance. Currently, fan numbers had risen to over eight thousand; the hype in the livestream room remained high, and if things went well today, reaching ten thousand fans seemed possible.

"Hey, Meng Fan, I'd like to interview you a bit. How do you feel now?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.

To use one word to describe Meng Fan's current state, it would be "painfully happy!"

With a 7.2-meter fishing rod, although the pace wasn't as quick as it started, he was still maintaining a rhythm of one cast per minute. From the start until now, nearly three hours had passed, and his wrist and arm felt quite sore.

"It's thrilling! The bites are very good, and I've completely got the pace sorted!"

Meng Fan wasn't one to admit defeat easily, not mentioning the soreness in his arm.

"Alright, just keep fishing. Don't overstrain yourself; it's bad for the arm! Take a break when needed, it's no shame! No one can swing a long rod all day!" Zhang Yang advised carefully.

"Don't worry, I'll get some rest at lunch soon!"

After hearing their conversation, new questions started flooding the livestream room!

[What does 'sorted the pace' mean, Yang? What's that about?]

[Yeah, I'm curious too! Terms like frequency, pace sound normal in music classes but used in fishing, somehow feel odd!]

[I know what hitting frequency means, it's just rapid casting, but sorting the pace? How to understand, host explain it!]

To Zhang Yang, the public chat in the livestream room felt like a piece of land dried for who knows how long, where any hint of fishing techniques would be absorbed like a spring drizzle.

It was apparent that anglers were extremely eager for fishing skills.

Zhang Yang organized his thoughts and patiently explained, "Frequency refers to the speed of consecutive casting! Typically, hitting frequency involves fast casting, akin to high frequency! In the shortest time, toss more bait into the spot to entice fish.

While pace, its abstract meaning on paper is hard to explain.

In fishing, it's understood as the changes in a series of actions like casting, fishing, catching, and replenishing baits, with different adjustments feeding back into the fishing conditions!

Anglers need to heed these details and find the changes that positively influence fish conditions, and if they can steadily catch fish according to their plan, it can be understood as having sorted the pace!

Does this explanation make sense to everyone?"
