Thanks to all the friends who watched the short film. I'm Tom. Like me, many people want to own a piece of land, grow vegetables and flowers... and live a pastoral life like Tao Yuanming. Many friends sent me private messages to rent such a land. As a self-media person, I can't recommend it to you, because I haven't fully grasped the things inside, and the water is too deep. Please wait patiently, I will really help you. Thank you again for your trust. Please follow me and get more fan benefits.

Like me, many people want to own a piece of land, grow vegetables and flowers..., and live a pastoral life like Tao Yuanming.

"Pastoral life" isn't a very common phrase. In this case, "live off the land like Tao Yuanming" would probably sound more natural.
Here, the commas seperate independent clauses, as opposed to acting as a list, which is why you can use "X and X, and X"

Many friendspeople sent me private messages abouto renting such a land.

As a self-media person, I can't recommend it to you, because I haven't fully grasped the things inside, and the water is toowhat's required, and I'm out of my deepth.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "self-media person". Perhaps "media producer" or "social-media creator".
The water is too deep= In English we'd say "it's out of my depth".

Please wait patiently, I will reallydo my best to help you.

Feedback

Although "friends" conveys a sense of closeness/friendliness, it sounda a bit weird to call strangers "friends".
