Topic 1:

The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television released advice on regulating the prices of film tickets recently. According to the stipulation, prices of group tickets and member tickets should not be lower than 70 percent of the listed price in the cinema, but it encourages the implementation of half-price day on Tuesday as well as in the mornings from Monday to Friday. Experts said that the administration is suspected of intervening in market competition with its administrative power. A department under the National Development and Reform Commission has started an investigation into the issue.

ZUIAI_KANRENAO: I don't care whether there is a discount for film tickets or not. The point is that no matter how expensive the ticket is, even if it is as high as 100 yuan, I will go to the cinema as long as a film is worth watching. If a rubbish film is showing, I won't go even if there is a large discount.

BAIMAOPANGPANG: I never buy a film ticket at its full price because it's too expensive for me. Usually I get my tickets from group buying or from ticket scalpers.

WANGXIAONIU: If the policy takes effect, that means the cost for watching films has increased a lot and, as a result, people have to cut back on trips to the movies. Ultimately, a number of poorly made domestic films will suffer from the cold market response.

Topic 2: Apple Inc is going to release its iPad 3 in San Francisco on March 8, according to Sina Science and Technology. There will be two versions this time - 16GB and 32GB. "We have something you really have to see. And touch," Apple writes in its conference invitation. The upcoming new tablet computer will be equipped with a retina display screen with a resolution of 2048x1536.

LEOLIUHUI: I expect that the iPad 3 will be as revolutionary a change as iPhone 4 was.

HANGUILIN: Don't expect the iPad 3 because last time, when we were expecting iPhone 5, what came at last was iPhone 4S. This time it might be iPad 2B.

FOXCONNBAOER: This time it is iPad HD that might be released instead of iPad 3. iPad 3's release has to postponed to at least after September. However, before the release of iPad 3, we might see iPhone 5.

FLAN-SCORPION: The update speed of Apple's tablet computer is so fast. I think it will gain a lot financially from the Chinese market.
