How does a recruit grow into a qualified soldier in 180 days and nights? "Recruits please join the ranks" goes deep into the record and observation of the recruit training base, and is serious and lively, showing the process of quenching the recruits into steel after 00.

How many steps does it take from ordinary people to soldiers? Establish rules, organize internal affairs, conduct actual combat training, and conduct rigorous assessment … Recently, the military documentary "Recruits Please Join the ranks" jointly produced by Tencent Video and CCTV was broadcast online, and the whole process of the recruits growing into qualified soldiers was recorded by lens.

　

The program consists of seven periods, each with a theme. Starting with "Why did I choose to be a soldier", it has gone through 180 days and nights, spanning 20,000 kilometers, and went deep into the recruit training base of the three armed forces, telling the stories of recruits and military camps with short stories and true details.

Youth stories of recruits after 00

The recruits come from all over the world, with different life experiences and different temperaments, but they all come to the same place-the military camp with their love for the motherland.

　

Xu Menghao, high flyers, Department of Philosophy, Peking University, likes reading and Henan Opera; Duan Runzhi, an undergraduate student, is lively and excellent in learning, and is what people call "the child of others"; Lin Junlong, born by the sea, used to be a chef in a five-star hotel; Cai Zhuoyu, a fine arts major, hopes to paint in the blue sky with fighter planes after entering the military camp … Such a group of young people constitute the epitome of the whole film’s recruit camp.

　

"Recruits please join the ranks" aims the camera at these recruits after 00 and records the process of their tempering into steel. This tempering process is naturally full of hardships and challenges.

　

"It’s too difficult to turn a quilt into a tofu block!" Duan Runzhi, an army female soldier, never thought that she would "cushion the bottom" in a late-night emergency pull. The instructor’s minimum requirements became her "ceiling". The first packing was completely out of specification, and the second packing was successful, but she was criticized by the instructor for being too slow.

　

The air force brigade will fuck, and Class 9 will win the championship in one fell swoop. The joy of "counterattack" didn’t last long, and the pull-up project suddenly turned Cai Zhuoyu and Lin Junlong back to the prototype of "rookie". Physical fitness test, their scores hit a new record low, waiting for them is the "devil" training customized by the squad leader for them.

　

"It’s very real" and "It’s so good to cry" … Since the broadcast of "Recruits Please Join the Team", it has gained a lot of attention among young audiences. The protagonists of these stories do not have their own aura, but ordinary young people. Putting them in a special living environment, their stories naturally collide with the audience.

　

The film focuses on interacting with young netizens and strengthening dialogue with the audience in a full-fledged presentation. On the one hand, it is a humorous panoramic record of the recruits’ state. The rotation is left and right, the singing of military songs is out of tune, and the squad leader directs his comrades to "hit the tree" … A series of "god operations" with their own jokes make the work more grounded; On the one hand, Wang Bingbing, a reporter from the General Station, is the narrator, and the relaxed and humorous comment language such as "Mother learns to bully", "paddling to fish", "being rubbed by reality" and "Voldemort" not only adds a sense of delicacy to the film, but also adds youthful expression.

The growth story from youth to soldiers

Director Zhao Yunze said: "Before officially contacting this project, it is hard to imagine how the army trained ordinary people into soldiers in batches in just six months."

　

The director’s curiosity is also the breakthrough of the film.

　

Before joining the army, the recruits’ imagination of the military camp was intense and grand; After joining the army, their reality in the new barracks is to stand at attention at ease and have a little routine. "Recruits Please Join the Rank" concentrates the six-month time that these recruits entered the military camp after 00 in chronological order, and records their growth stories in the "conflict" and dynamics.

　

The title of "Peking University" did not give Xu Menghao more superiority. He was appointed as the monitor of the new recruits, and one of his duties was to upload and issue. It seems simple, but it is challenging: this requires him to have both excellent basic skills and high emotional intelligence, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public.

　

In the updated program, Xu Menghao hit a wall when he first exercised his monitor’s rights. "Everyone is a recruit. Why do you command everyone to work?" Some comrades-in-arms disagreed with the way he assigned work and complained. With the help of veterans, Xu Menghao gradually realized that there was a big problem in his way of doing things. In the latest "picnic", he took the initiative to integrate into group activities and finally realized the "breaking the ice" with his comrades.

　

The program focuses on the intuitive response of recruits to setbacks, and outlines a "deformation meter" belonging to recruits in the low valley-contradiction-growth. Under the lens of the program, every recruit’s body and soul are being "scattered" and "reshaped" again. In the process of recording, in addition to the principle of non-intervention, the program also used another method-giving the microphone to the recruits.

　

At the end of the first program, the recruits can finally contact their families. Some people burst into tears at the sound of their family members, some people cried because they missed their mother and asked her to take more photos and send them to them, and some people told their families to have a good meal … A homesick greeting instantly "returned" the recruits to their prototype. At this moment, homesickness spread among them, without concealment or restraint, and all feelings broke through the screen. Iron soldiers are accompanied by deep affection, and the program outlines the true appearance of teenagers in real records.

　

As a co-producer, Tencent Video continues to connect with the audience in a young voice and novel expression. From How to Talk about this painting to The Great Qin of the Fresh Museum, and this time, the new recruits are invited to join the ranks. The themes are different, but they are all constantly "new" in expression. This time, "Recruits please join the ranks" aims at the recruits, which is a new exploration of the young expression of military themes. In the follow-up program, what are the unknown training programs for the sailors of the "One Speciality and Many Capabilities" warship, how to train the female soldiers of the "Snow Lotus on the Plateau" garrison in Tibet, and how the airmen of the "Blue Angel" air force guard Hawk to complete the battle will all be shown one by one.

　　Looking back on the past 2019, compared with the 5% and 6% yields of wealth management products in the past few years, everyone is inevitably disappointed. In the past year, after experiencing the decline in the yields of various "baby" money funds and the continued decline in the yields of bank wealth management products, it seems that the interest rates of various low-risk wealth management products are falling, which also makes us more confused — — In 2020, how should we manage our finances?

　　See the global economic trend clearly

　　With the global economy in a state of fatigue, the era of negative interest rates has arrived.

　　Negative interest rate means that the bank lends money to the lender, and the lender pays back less than the borrowed money, and the deposit interest rate may also be negative. The money in the bank not only has no interest, but may even shrink gradually.

　　As of 2019, many countries around the world have implemented or are implementing zero interest rates or negative interest rates. For example, the economies that have implemented and still maintain negative interest rates include Japan, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, etc., and the low interest rate economies that have briefly implemented near "zero" include the United States and the United Kingdom.

　　In August 2019, Denmark’s third largest bank — — Jutland Bank launched the world’s first mortgage loan with negative interest rate, with a mortgage interest rate of negative 0.5%. Germany even successfully sold the national debt with a scale of 824 million euros and a maturity of up to 30 years at a negative yield.

　　Some people may say, what does negative interest rate have to do with our financial management?

　　Investment and financial management must first see the general trend clearly. If the global economy is further plunged into negative interest rates and low interest rates, then financial management also needs to be "long-term", and it needs to take five or even ten years as a cycle to consider what to invest and how to invest. After all, in the context of the global economic downturn and falling interest rates, it means that the products worth investing are decreasing, and the rate of return on investment is also declining, which is closely related to our "money bag".

　　From a global perspective, the decline in interest rates is still the general trend. Since 2019, more than 30 central banks around the world have announced interest rate cuts, not only in developed economies, but also in emerging economies such as Russia, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Brazil. In August 2019, the Swiss bank announced that it would levy an annual fee on deposits of more than 500,000 euros, which is regarded as a negative interest rate in disguise. Large amounts of funds deposited in banks not only have no interest, but may gradually shrink.

　　Looking forward to 2020, the situation is still not optimistic. According to the data of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economic growth rate dropped from 3.6% in 2018 to 3.0% in 2019, setting the lowest level of global economic growth in 10 years. The IMF predicts that by 2020, global economic growth will improve slightly, with a growth rate of 3.4%, which has been lowered by 0.2 percentage points compared with April 2019.

　　Compared with the major economies in the world, China’s current interest rate level is still high. Zhou Xiaochuan, the former governor of the central bank, recently said at the "Innovation Economic Forum" that there were two lessons from the international financial crisis in 2008, one was a bubble, and the other was a low interest rate in a low inflation environment. "Our interest rate is not as low as that of western countries, and there is still room to deal with economic problems, so we should try our best to avoid entering the era of negative interest rates quickly."

　　Pay more attention to "hard core" assets

　　In 2019, although our wealth management income is declining, from a global perspective, the return on RMB assets is already "outstanding" in low-risk investment varieties. Financial management also needs to adjust the mentality and be steady.

　　Since 2019, the chill of bank wealth management products has gradually emerged, and the yield has continued to fall. Relevant statistics show that from January to November 2019, the average expected rate of return on bank wealth management products fell from 4.31% to 3.98%.

　　At the end of the year and the beginning of the year, although the income of "baby" money funds has increased, most of them still stay in the "2" era. As of December 30, 2019, the average 7-day annualized rate of return of all-market money funds rose above 2.5%. Among the 629 monetary funds that can be counted, 136 monetary funds have an annualized rate of return of more than 3% on the 7 th, and 479 monetary funds have a rate of return of around 2.5%.

　　Even if the rate of return on financial management is lower, from a global perspective, RMB assets are the "fragrant buns" of the world. With the interest rate cuts of major economies in the world, the spread between China and foreign countries has expanded to a historical high level, which has greatly increased the attractiveness of RMB assets, such as RMB bonds, to overseas institutional investors. At present, the interest rates of 10-year and 30-year sovereign bonds in Germany have been negative. In contrast, the interest rate of RMB bonds for 10 years is around 3.2%, while that of US dollar bonds is less than 2%.

　　Therefore, although it is not comparable to the rate of return in the past few years, horizontally, China’s wealth management products are still very attractive. Moreover, in the current global economic downturn and increasing uncertainty, the primary goal of investment and financial management should be to ensure the safety of principal.

　　"For investors, making quick money is no longer so easy, the risks are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more pits." For example, Guan Qingyou, president of the Financial Research Institute, believes that in this context, we still need to pay more attention to "hard core" assets. "Hard-core" assets have four obvious characteristics, such as real value, relative scarcity, relative safety and better liquidity.

　　Guan Qingyou said that the first one is value. Simply put, it is "useful" to people. A hard-core company must be able to create profits and have a high return on equity. For example, a "hard core" house must have the value of living and living; The second characteristic is scarcity. Things are rare, the scarcer they are, the harder it is to be copied, and the more valuable it is; The third is security. High yield means high risk. Don’t touch the "rose with thorns". Guo Shuqing, chairman of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, once said, "If the yield exceeds 6%, it will be in doubt; if it exceeds 8%, it will be dangerous; if it exceeds 10%, it will be prepared to lose all the principal". Be wary of high-yield wealth management products.

　　The last one is liquidity. Guan Qingyou believes that such assets should not be too small, and it is best to be needed and recognized by most people. In the financial downturn, the worse the liquidity of assets with too little demand, the more difficult it is to reflect their value.

　　Turn to long-term investment

　　What you didn’t like in the past may be the best financial choice now.

　　Assets with relatively high returns and sustainable investment are the best choice for ordinary individual investors. For risk-averse investors, it is a good choice to buy government bonds or simply deposit them in the bank for a fixed period.

　　At present, the annual interest rate of 3-year treasury bonds is around 4%, and the 5-year interest rate is around 4.27%. The interest rate of 3-year fixed deposits is also above 4%, and that of 5-year fixed deposits, especially small banks, can reach above 4.8%. In the period when interest rates are expected to rise, buying longer-term treasury bonds or fixed deposits may be a choice with higher returns and lower risks. If you think that these two kinds of liquidity are not good and you can’t take them at any time, then you can also consider products such as transferable certificates of deposit introduced by banks, but they have a certain threshold, generally starting from 200,000 yuan. If you need money before it expires, you can transfer it through the bank’s platform, which is relatively more liquid.

　　4% interest rate is not high compared with the past, but we must know that in those economies that have fallen into negative interest rates, it is very difficult to find investment products with a yield of more than 2% and stable income. If you can maintain a steady income, even if you buy a "basic" deposit product and reinvest the interest earned, the long-term return brought by "rolling interest" is very considerable.

　　Another popular product in 2019 is gold. Gold is considered as a safe-haven asset, so when the economy goes down, increasing gold holdings is the first choice.

　　At the end of 2019, the "spring" of the stock market appeared, and the Shanghai Composite Index stood above 3,000 points. At present, the expectations of all parties for the stock market in spring are rising. In this context, for individual investors who don’t care about bank wealth management and time deposit returns, if they want to invest in the stock market, they will not choose individual stocks, then in 2020, investing in index funds is also worth trying.

　　In 2020, investment still needs to be stable.

　　The newly revised Securities Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) (hereinafter referred to as the new Securities Law) was recently passed and will be officially implemented on March 1, 2020. China’s capital market will enter a new stage of development. At present, relevant departments are in full swing to introduce relevant supporting measures. Analysts generally believe that the new Securities Law further improves the basic system of the securities market, helps to improve the quality of listed companies, effectively protects the legitimate rights and interests of investors and better serves the real economy. In the future, with the improvement of various reform systems, China’s capital market will give generate a strong vitality and competitiveness.

　　Let the market play a decisive role.

　　As the "basic law" and "fundamental law" of the capital market, the new Securities Law has aroused widespread concern at home and abroad since its inception.

　　Among them, the most striking thing is the change of the legal conditions of the company’s initial public offering (IPO). Before the amendment, the requirement of the law for IPO companies was "sustainable profitability", while the new Securities Law clearly stated that the relevant requirement was "sustainable operation ability". He Haifeng, director of the china law society Securities Law Research Association, said that the former is compatible with the approval system; The latter is compatible with the registration system, because the operating ability is more inclusive and diversified than the profitability, and there is more reason to leave it to the market for independent judgment.

　　Chen Hua, a senior researcher at the National Institute of Development and Strategy of Renmin University of China, pointed out that anti-fraud is the core theme of securities issuance supervision, and the goal of the approval system is to fight against issuance fraud through auditing. However, it can’t solve the problem of fraudulent issuance after all, and it is easy for people to take advantage of loopholes, such as using very professional methods to make financial statements beautiful.

　　"Price is the core of the market mechanism, but both price and quantity must be market-oriented and work together. The price formed after the release of the audit and the release of the rhythm can truly reflect the scarcity of resources, accurately guide the behavior of market players, and form an endogenous self-balancing mechanism in the market. " Chen Zhen said that high-quality inquiries and information disclosure will definitely make counterfeiters fully exposed.

　　Wu Wenfeng, vice president of Antai school of economics and management of Shanghai Jiaotong University, pointed out in an interview with this reporter that the registration system will not affect the overall quality of listed companies, but will help the market to play a decisive role and improve the overall efficiency of the capital market.

　　The punishment for breaking the law and breaking the trust is even stronger.

　　It is worth noting that the new Securities Law not only opens the door to financing for more high-quality enterprises, but also greatly improves the punishment for illegal acts in the capital market.

　　For example, for fraudulent issuance, the original fine of 5% of the maximum amount of funds raised will be raised to double the amount of funds raised; For information disclosure violations of listed companies, the maximum fine can be increased from 600,000 yuan to 10 million yuan; If the controlling shareholder or actual controller of the issuer organizes or instigates to engage in false statements, or conceals relevant matters, resulting in false statements, it is stipulated that a maximum fine of 10 million yuan can be imposed.

　　The vitality brought by the registration system to China’s capital market will not only be reflected in the listing of more high-quality and potential enterprises, but also in the timely delisting of inferior companies.

　　Chen Hua introduced that in the mature registered market, although listing is relatively easy, it is very difficult to maintain the listing status because the delisting elimination rate is generally high. The most prominent feature of registration system audit is that the traditional administrative examination and approval is replaced by inquiry and disclosure. The change of the registration system from "examination" to "questioning" does not mean that the stock market has released a lot of water.

　　"The delisting system is the basic system of the capital market. The average annual delisting rate of Nasdaq market in the United States is 8%, and the delisting rate of NYSE is around 6%. Science and technology innovation board of Shanghai Stock Exchange is positioned as a science and technology enterprise in the early stage of service. After listing, the operating uncertainty of enterprises is high, some enterprises will grow into leaders and giants, while others may gradually fail, and the market differentiation will be more obvious than other sectors. It is very important to establish an orderly delisting system. " Chen Hao said.

　　Wu Wenfeng further pointed out that it is always an inevitable requirement to improve the competitiveness of China’s capital market system, whether it is strictly implementing the delisting system, increasing the illegal cost and improving the punishment for illegal activities in the capital market.

　　Rooted entities show greater appeal

　　The imminent implementation of the new Securities Law has also boosted practitioners’ expectations for the future of China’s capital market.

　　"The capital market is attractive from both the macro-economic and recent policy perspectives." Lian Ping, chief economist of Bank of Communications, believes that in the next six months or a year, macro-policy factors will be superimposed together, which will be beneficial to the capital market.

　　"For a long time, the proportion of traditional industries and large enterprises in China’s capital market is relatively large, and the influence of emerging enterprises reflecting new industries, new formats and new business models is insufficient. In the future, with the implementation of the new Securities Law and the steady progress of the registration system reform, this phenomenon is expected to be effectively improved, and the transformation and upgrading of the real economy will gain more support. In the process of new economic growth, capital market investors will also receive corresponding returns. " Wu Wenfeng said.

　　"According to the authorization of this law, the CSRC will fully consider the market reality, especially to grasp the organic and unified connection of securities issuance, securities registration and market affordability, and promote it step by step and steadily in accordance with the unified deployment of the State Council." Cheng Hehong, director of the legal department of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, said. The CSRC said that it will speed up the formulation, revision and improvement of supporting rules and regulations, improve the basic system of the securities market, strictly implement the provisions of the revised law, continuously improve the level of supervision and law enforcement, and give full play to the positive role of the new Securities Law in promoting market reform, maintaining market order, strengthening market functions, and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of investors.
