Su Ran and Jiang Xiaofeng had worked together once, and Su Ran approved of the director's vision.

It’s not that Jiang Xiaofeng bought the copyright of the live broadcast content because he saw that Su Ran was a potential stock before he became completely popular.

It was because Jiang Xiaofeng single-handedly brought CCTV-10, a channel that was almost at the bottom of the rankings, to the top five in the ratings of the entire island!
Su Ran couldn't refuse the temptation of one million per issue.

Even if the copyright is not sold, he will still broadcast it live.

Now he has one more option. He only needs to edit the content of the daily live broadcast and then sell it to CCTV to make extra money. Why not do it?

The two of them were like Boya and Ziqi, they were in perfect harmony.

Jiang Xiaofeng also knew that Su Ran would help find the Chinese Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly next, and he thought this content was very good.

I don't know when the old man walked into the room.

Su Ran put down the phone, turned around and said with a smile: "Grandpa."

"Xiao Ran, I heard that you signed a cooperation agreement with CCTV?"

The only way to know about this is through the live broadcast. The old man doesn’t watch the live broadcast, so it is obvious that it was Chen Sisi who told him.

This is good news, at least for the old man, his grandson has made great progress.

"That's right, Grandpa. The chief director of CCTV Channel 10 is willing to spend one million to buy the documentary I made."

Indeed, Su Ran himself was a little excited after talking about this, and his hands were shaking when he spoke.

"No limit on content? Then you can make money just by shooting something every day, right?"

The old man doesn't quite understand what a documentary is. In his opinion, isn't a documentary just about what happens?

But it’s too easy to make money, right?
"Of course not. If I really just filmed eating and drinking every day, people would definitely not buy it."

Su Ran smiled and shook his head, telling his grandfather that the one million was not so easy to get.

At least we have to satisfy the audience's curiosity. The more interesting and thrilling the content is, the easier it is to get ratings.

But Su Ran would definitely not commit suicide for money.

Why are documentaries like Bear Grylls so popular with so many people? One reason is because they are professional, and the other is because he films things that many people dare not do.

Su Ran has a very precise positioning of himself, which is to photograph creatures that no one has ever seen before.

The rarer it is, the higher the audience's expectations will be, and once they find it, the sense of satisfaction will instantly explode.

Now the news about his search for the Chinese Tiger Swallowtail has spread online.

Netizens are also looking forward to the moment when they see the living tiger swallowtail butterfly.

Su Ran took out a forest map and began to circle the three locations where the tiger swallowtail butterflies were most likely to appear based on their current living habits and previous distribution ranges.

On the first day, he went to the first area he had designated. He searched for the entire day but did not see any trace of the tiger swallowtail butterfly, but he did pick a lot of mountain products and medicinal herbs.

The next day, Su Ran went up the mountain again and started searching from the afternoon until late at night, but still failed to find the Chinese Tiger Swallowtail.

It is dark now, the night is hazy, and the forest is not as quiet as it is during the day.

Su Ran, Dahei and Haidongqing hid in a cave for the night.

This cave used to be a habitat for black bears, because when Su Ran first discovered this cave, he found a lot of brown bear hair inside.

But he was sure that the cave was abandoned, so he felt safe to stay there.

"Blind bears generally don't easily abandon the nests they have lived in for a long time. The previous blind bears living here must have been captured by poachers."

Su Ran was eating freshly grilled fish in the cave, smacking his lips as he analyzed the situation to the audience.

"Another poacher? Damn it, although it's scary to encounter a black bear in the wild, it's also hateful to actively hunt these animals."

"As long as poachers are not eliminated, the forest will never be at peace."

"There are so many poachers in the world, how can we eliminate them all? And in my opinion, everything exists for a reason. In terms of balancing the number of species, poachers have made a little contribution, right?"

Su Ran: ...

It's a fallacy, pure fallacy.

Su Ran, who was always good-tempered, suddenly raised his tone: "So what you mean is that those drug dealers, smugglers, and kidnappers also have their reasons for existing?"

"The animals will balance the natural ecology themselves. Nature will also use its own mechanisms to balance the number of species. It does not need the help of poachers at all."

The existence of poachers has nothing to do with balancing the number of species, because many animals are on the verge of extinction because of poachers. So you call this a balanced ecology?
Su Ran had reason to suspect that the other party was a poacher, so he blocked him and reported him.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Su Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and he and Dahei leaned towards the fire again.

Although it is summer, there is still some coolness in the forest at night.

This was not the first time Su Ran spent the night in the forest, but he had always made adequate preparations in the past, and this time he had no choice.

The audience in the live broadcast room admired him very much.

"Actually, Brother Su, if we really can't find that swallowtail butterfly, forget it."

"Yeah, it's just a butterfly, it's easy to find."

"Let's not talk about whether the butterfly can be found, but this anchor is the most powerful one I have ever seen."

"If it really doesn't work, host, talk to the staff at the shelter and tell them that you can't find it. Let them find a solution. We won't laugh at you."

You and I chatted a lot, and soon the comments became dense.

To sum up, many people think that it doesn’t matter whether a butterfly can be found or not, because talent is the most important.

Su Ran knew that the audience cared about him. He was well aware of his own abilities and would not put himself in danger.

As for those who felt that they were unwilling to give up because they couldn't save face, Su Ran had his own explanation: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, nor do I have to complete Director Deng's instructions. This is just part of it."

"The reason I haven't given up until now is that I want to see the Chinese Tiger Swallowtail butterfly with my own eyes."

"I have been wandering in the forest for two days. I believe there must be living specimens of the Chinese tiger swallowtail butterfly. They are definitely not extinct yet."

The Chinese tiger swallowtail, a national first-class protected animal, is one of the most precious butterfly species currently.

In the animal world, anything with the word "Chinese" in its name has a prominent origin.

This is the case with the Chinese tiger swallowtail butterfly.

As a wild butterfly unique to China, its wings are golden yellow with black stripes on them, like tiger skin, hence its name.

It is also affectionately called "little tiger" by butterfly lovers.

This butterfly is also the veritable giant panda of the insect world.

So Su Ran’s desire to find it is very unusual.

When Su Ran woke up the next morning, the fire in front of him had gone out.

But Su Ran was not reassured, so he used a stick to clear away the ashes on the surface, and sure enough, he saw some sparks inside.

Just crush it with one kick.

Walking out of the cave, Su Ran stretched.

The air is nice in the early morning.

In fact, sleeping in the mountains, apart from the mosquito bites which are very annoying, is also quite interesting to try once in a while.

With Dahei and Haidongqing, Su Ran set off again.

Deng Jiaying had explained to him in detail before that the last time the staff of the animal protection center saw the Chinese Swallowtail Butterfly was in this area, so Su Ran believed that he would definitely find it.

As to whether it was today, he didn't know.

"Dahei, hurry up and follow me."

Su Ran called out to Dahei behind him, and his steps moved faster and faster.

A man and a wolf set out on a winding path.

"This mountain road is not easy to walk on. It is mainly downhill and has a lot of gravel. Fortunately, the road is not too muddy."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ran stopped where he was, his eyes fell on a golden spot not far away.

Immediately, a deep smile broke out on his face.

"I found it!"

"It's the Chinese Tiger Swallowtail!" (End of this chapter)
