Liu Xiaojun is a 17-year-old young man who is not happy, he really can't read, he dropped out of high school, left home and followed the elders of the same village to work.

He's poor, his father left early, his mother fled this dilapidated home when he was 8 years old, and his only relative, his grandmother, died a few years ago.

I've been out for two years, I've endured hardships, I've been tired, I've been deceived because I'm stupid, but fortunately, I survived in the end.

It's been a long time since I've been home, to be honest, I'm still quite homesick, but it's useless for him to go back, there is no one at home, and other relatives don't want to see him, he has eaten at home without a meal, it's better to mix outside, go to the construction site during the day to do odd jobs, sell hard work, and occasionally have a little extra money at night and go to the Internet café to pack an all-night game game.

He doesn't do anything illegal to cheat and cheat, if he has money, he will fight tooth sacrifices, if he has no money, he can deal with a bite of steamed buns and pickles, in short, he is a little guy with a bottom line.

One day in September, he didn't know exactly what day, for his daily life, it didn't matter what day of the month was today, he only knew that today's day was as hot as a fire.

He got off work from the construction site, and he got off early today, and he received today's salary, 30 yuan, which is very good, for him.

Follow the workers in the same village to buy some food at the market, and go back to the collective rented compound to cook.

For those of them who work hard, the food doesn't have to be delicious, just enough.

After holding a small basin slowly, Liu Xiaojun touched his pocket, there were not a few left, and the Internet café couldn't go, so he went to the commissary next door to watch TV.

I've watched "Bright Sword" before, it's very good, the boss put the TV out, it's attractive, let everyone buy things in him while watching TV.

Liu Xiaojun came to the courtyard of the commissary next door, hesitated, and bought a bottle of soda. Then I moved a small bench, found a corner position, leaned against the wall, took a sip first, it was cool and refreshing, and then I began to grill rice.

Soon advertisements began to be shown on the TV, and he had watched a lot of TV series, basically from the boss, and knew that in a few minutes at 8 o'clock, there would be a TV series.

Most of the workers in the neighborhood are like him, who have nothing to do after dinner, and honest people who are not good at prostitution and gambling will go to the commissary to watch TV, and after a while, the yard will be full of people.

It also started playing on the TV.

It seems to be a new TV series, and I've seen the trailer before, and it's a military movie.

It's the premiere tonight, and the ad is over, and it's time.

The sound of the horn, accompanied by Wang Baoqiang's figure walking in military uniform, the premiere of "Soldier Assault" began!

Liu Xiaojun stared at the TV screen while cooking rice, the scene in Xu Sanduo's hometown village was so similar to his hometown, and even the accent of his speech was similar, which made him feel very cordial.

His eyes looked at the screen without blinking.

He looked at Xu Sanduo, feeling that it was another self, he knew that his brain was slow, and his friends in the same village didn't like to take him to play when he was a child, but he didn't have any way, it was all given by his parents, and he was already very grateful to be able to live to this age in good health.

Time flies quickly, two episodes in one night, and it's over quickly.

When he went to bed at night, Liu Xiaojun was still thinking about Xu Sanduo, what his fate would be, and whether he would be the same as himself?

In the next few days, he went to work during the day, and at night he would be on time by the TV in the small courtyard, either buying a drink, buying a snack, or rushing at the boss's silly music, and the boss didn't chase him.

Since watching the premiere last time, Liu Xiaojun has been attracted by the stories in the TV series, to be precise, he saw his own shadow from Xu Sanduo.

The family is poor, his father is gone, he is disgusted by his mother, he does not invite relatives to see him, and he looks at Xu Sanduo as if he is looking at himself.

It's just that Liu Xiaojun didn't meet Shi Jin, a good squad leader, and no one took him to enlist in the army.

The construction site was completed this month, which means that he will be unemployed again, either to pick up garbage to make ends meet, and then find a new construction site, or he will have to find another way out.

He can't think of what he can do, he can't do anything, he only works hard with a low education, but he sometimes yearns for the outside world.

What is a meaningful life?

Liu Xiaojun had a thought in his heart, he suddenly wanted to be a soldier like Xu Sanduo!

After he finished from the construction site these days, he came here with dinner to watch TV, and after watching the previous episodes, he also knew what it was like to be a soldier, being a soldier was hard, and being a soldier was tired, but being a soldier could eat well, increase knowledge, learn culture in the army, and straighten his waist.

He was born poor, he is not afraid of hardship, he is not afraid of tiredness, he just doesn't know what the direction of life is.

Today's plot has arrived, Xu Sanduo has broken the record by doing more than 300 abdominal windings in the Seventh Steel Company, and his persistence and hard work have won him honor and praise.

Liu Xiaojun looked at Xu Sanduo on TV, clenched the chopsticks in his hand, gritted his teeth, cheered for him, and his heart was no longer calm.

And the thoughts that have been hidden in my heart these days have been ignited by Xu Sanduo.

I'm going to be a soldier too!

I also want to do something meaningful and live well!

This is the voice in his heart, he has lived for seventeen years, and for the first time he feels that he has a goal in life, I want to join the army!

Liu Xiaojun was very excited, he couldn't care about watching TV, so he returned to his Chase shop and found out the money he had saved for a long time.

A total of about 500 yuan, which took more than a year to save money.

He's going home, going to join the army.

He went to the train station overnight and bought a ticket back to his hometown.

After an overnight train, he hasn't been back to his hometown for two years, and he hasn't been back since he came out of his home.

Early the next morning, he stood at the entrance of the village, a little confused for a while.

How to become a soldier?

Liu Xiaojun didn't understand, but remembered the village chief in the TV series, and immediately ran to the village chief's house and asked how to participate in the conscription, he was going to be a soldier.

The village chief told him that the conscription was twice a year, in spring and autumn, and it was now September, and it was just the right time, and there were still places in the village, so he was simply counted on.

At the end of September, Liu Xiaojun got into a military vehicle, brought a big red flower, and put on the army green he had always dreamed of.

He grinned, bared his mouth full of white teeth, and embarked on a new journey in life.

With the explosion of "Soldier Assault", even the army's recruitment propaganda posters were printed with a lot of three. Bayi Factory was praised by the head of the unit for its propaganda of the good image of the troops.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations have also gained a lot, first of all, advertising revenue, when the average rating of "Soldier Assault" reached 5%, it has renegotiated the advertising price with its major sponsors.

At this time in 06, because the entertainment content is far less abundant than that of later generations, the pace of the Internet era has not yet reached its peak, and the public's spiritual entertainment is still relatively scarce, and watching TV has become the only leisure activity for many people after dinner, so in this year, the ratings of TV dramas are generally much higher than those of later generations.

But even if it is high, the average rating of 5% is the existence of the annual hit.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations have doubled the lowest price of advertisements during the entire "Soldier Assault" broadcast period, even at this price, many advertisers are still in full swing, businessmen are the most sensitive to value, and they are often eager for popular products.

In the end, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations had to come forward, and three sets of advertising time totaling 1 minute were added during the broadcast.

In this way, although it is a bit of a bad character, but to make money, you can't manage so much.

Sun Yi was also greedy for these advertising revenues of the TV station after he found out, but this money had nothing to do with them. No way, no matter what era it is, the ones who can make a lot of money are always those who master the channels and platforms.

However, as the largest investor in the producer of the show, Sun Yi's income is definitely not small, and he has lived up to his hard work in the past few months.

Director Zhou Tongmei is very proud now, and a "Soldier Assault" not only brought unnatural benefits to the station, but also a lot for her personally.

has proved his vision and ability, and has been unanimously praised by the leaders of Taiwan in Taiwan, which is only on the surface, and the benefits behind it are inconvenient to say more.

Of course, Zhou Tongmei became the director of a well-known satellite film at a young age, and she must have her own means, which is now manifested in her efforts to win over Yang Fan and Sun Yi.

There are only 30 episodes in the whole drama of "Soldier Assault", two episodes a day, which is just half a month, and it is about to be broadcast to the finale in the first round.

The average rating of the whole drama has reached 8.8%, and it is very likely to break 9% in the end, this is not an annual hit, it can be regarded as a classic of the times, and it must leave a strong mark in the history of Chinese TV dramas.

According to the previous VAM agreement signed with Sun Yi's studio, after the average rating exceeds 1%, the price of a single episode of the TV series will increase by 100,000 yuan for every percentage point increase.

Zhou Tongmei lamented that Sun Yi and Yang Fan's little brothers had made a bold gamble successfully, and finally made up their minds not to wait, sell well, be a favor, and directly settle the bill for them in advance according to the price of 9% ratings.

On the day of the finale of "Soldier Assault", Sun Yi received a bill from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, of course, the money has not yet arrived, and the transfer procedures are still needed, but it is only a matter of one or two days.

According to the agreement, the average rating of 9% is 900,000 yuan for a single episode, a total of 30 episodes of the whole drama, the first round of broadcasting, with an income of 27 million yuan, plus 300,000 consolation payments from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang TV before the broadcast, and a total income of 27.3 million yuan.

The income from this round of selling dramas directly recovered the investment cost, and it more than doubled.

The total investment cost of the entire "Soldier Assault" is 11 million, and Sun Yi Studio, as the largest investor, contributed 5 million, accounting for 45%, which means that the income of Sun Yi Studio in the first round was 12.28 million.

Of course, this is pre-tax income, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations will not be kind enough to pay taxes for you.

Sun Yi's studio is an individual small and micro enterprise, and the income tax payment ratio is 20%, because it meets the entrepreneurial qualifications of college students, according to the relevant local support policies in Beijing, the corresponding tax reduction is 5%, and only 15% needs to be paid.

The TV drama production business is a taxable industry, and it needs to pay an additional 9% of value-added tax, Sun Yi's studio also belongs to the copyright owner, and there is also a copyright income tax of 6%, and in the end, the proportion of all taxes paid is 30%. In other words, the actual income received is 8.6 million yuan.

Don't feel less, this is only the first round of broadcast profits, and the next second round, the third round of income, for a popular work like "Soldier Assault", the remaining two rounds are the bulk of the entire income.

In mid-September, Yang Fan returned to Beijing again, and at the same time, the money for the purchase of dramas from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations was also transferred to the designated account of Sun Yi's studio.

That night, Sun Yi pulled Yang Fan and Kang Honglei to dinner, and Senior Sister Yu was also very face-saving, and several people celebrated on a small scale.

At the dinner, Sun Yi transferred money to Sister Yu for the first time, first, to thank Sister Yu for her help, and secondly, he didn't like to owe debts.

Yu Feihong was unpretentious, there was no prevarication, and he accepted it with a smile, this generous appearance made it difficult for people to feel disgusted.

The happiest people at the wine table were Yang Fan and Kang Honglei, and the brothers frequently raised their glasses, and their faces were red and red when they drank.

Yang Fan was happy that he won the first battle and bravely broke out of the world.

Kang Honglei is mostly emotional, he has been a director for so many years, he has always been a dead salary, and he has no relationship with him after the series is released, and it is rare to earn a handful of investment income in this drama.

This is Sun Yi, who is willing to share. Put it in other companies, it is simply impossible to give you this opportunity. Zhang Guoshi didn't have a chance in the new picture for a few years, let alone Lao Kang.

At the dinner, after several people finished dividing the accounts, they began to talk about the follow-up second round of "Soldier Assault".

Yang Fan spoke first.

"Now, many satellite TV stations are contacting me, we are completely out of the circle, several David TV are competing for the second round of broadcasting rights, about the second round, we can't just think about the benefits, but also consider interpersonal relationships."

Sun Yi understands that any popular TV series wants to be broadcast, and directly selecting the highest bidder is not the best approach.

For example, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations, although they have the right to give priority to the second round, Sun Yi himself knows in his heart that as long as their second round of bidding is not too low and outrageous, this quota must be given to Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV.

After all, when they first sold dramas, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Taiwan were a godsend to them.

Yu Feihong rarely spoke during the dinner just now, and she didn't say anything until Yang Fan said the second round.

"Director Xiao of Beijing Satellite TV, contacted me, I don't know if this drama is too popular, or I learned about it through Huayi, I know that I also participated in the investment, and their station is also interested in the second round, but I just conveyed it, you decide for yourself."

When Sun Yi heard this, he understood in his heart, and turned his head to look at Kang Honglei again.

"Lao Kang, let's say, don't be embarrassed, we are all people in the circle, and it is inevitable that we all have personal debts."

Kang Honglei smiled after hearing this.

"Haha, when we were filming before, the southern Yunnan region gave a lot of support, and Yunnan Satellite TV also contacted me, they didn't say it explicitly, just thanked our crew for the promotion of local customs, but I think they also mean this."

After speaking, I slapped my head and suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, I met with Lao Lan a few days ago, and he mentioned to me his next book, which is about the expeditionary force during the Anti-Japanese War, I am very interested, and I want to cooperate with him again, and it is estimated that the filming location will have to be in southern Yunnan at that time."

Okay, needless to say, I know what it is.

Sun Yi has a mirror in his heart, and from the perspective of time, it is estimated that it is about the same.

"Then let's tentatively schedule the second round, Yunnan Satellite TV, Beijing Satellite TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV, these three, okay."

Everyone nodded, and Yang Fan added.

"Yes, I'll screen from the TV stations that contacted me at that time, let's strive for three to five, and go to the second round together while the iron is hot."

Ask for subscription, ask for recommendation!

Thanks!
