Topic 1: With the approach of December, the golden time for cinemas is just around the corner. Recently, well-known director Zhang Yimou's latest work, The Flowers of War, made a big stir in the film industry after its producer was required to raise its lowest ticket price nationwide by 5 yuan (79 cents) as well as to increase the film producer's profit-sharing proportion by 2 percent against theaters. Micro-bloggers have been discussing how much they would like to pay for a film ticket.

PENGLILEE: I will be satisfied if 100 yuan would pay for two film tickets, two drinks and a box of popcorn.

COLORFULCLOUD088: People will not give up the opportunity to watch a good film because of its high price. However, there are fewer good films in recent years. Too many elements are concentrated in one film, such as love, time-travel and science fiction, which usually makes me confused about the movie's theme.

_HONEY_JIN: Generally speaking, I'm only willing to pay for blockbusters or films that I have a big interest in. Nowadays, cost-performance is a key factor in deciding whether to go to the cinema or not.

Topic 2: Several representatives from power plants in Shanxi province went to Beijing recently to ask for an increase in the price of electricity. The surging price of coal and low price of electricity have caused these power plants to suffer big losses. Should the government raise the price of electricity or not? Here are the opinions from micro-bloggers.

HANYANFENG: Of course not! The government should not raise the price of electricity because the cost of everything is climbing but our salaries are not.

XIAOSHUSHENXIAXSSX: I think the notable guzzlers of electricity should pay more for it, but the price should remain unchanged for ordinary people.

JUJU768: Increasing the price of electricity is not the fundamental solution to the coal and electricity issue. I think more measures could be taken to solve this problem, for example, by reducing the monopoly in the industry and accelerating the construction of the power grid in Northwest China.

ZHONGYONG1519: Haha. I dare say that people who support increasing the price of electricity must be relatives of those who work in these power plants.
