《流浪地球2》路演票被炒至2200元？复苏中的市场更需呵护
定价该怎么定、限定在什么样的区间里，这些还是应该由影院和片方掌握，不能任由黄牛胡作非为。既然组织了路演，那就应该组织好，绝不可敷衍了事
《流浪地球2》无疑是今年春节档最受关注的电影作品之一，不仅在票房和口碑上得到双丰收，也打破了续集电影不如前作的“怪圈”。骄人成绩的获得，当然和主创团队的努力与付出分不开。从正月初五(1月26日)开始，主创团队就辗转于各大城市路演，与粉丝见面交流，准备12天走12座城。
然而，很想和该片主要演员及创作者见见面的观众却发现，通过公开渠道很难买到路演的票，而部分城市站的路演票价最高已被黄牛叫到2200元一张，且位置随机分配，甚至还能与《流浪地球2》到场的主创人员合影，有黄牛称与刘德华合影4万元、与吴京合影2万元。这让很多该片的影迷和粉丝难以接受，业内专业人士也指出，炒作路演票，有可能给高质量影片造成负面影响，顺带伤害粉丝。
乘兴而来的影迷败兴而归，确实很影响他们的热情。此类事件出现，也给电影本身带来了不太正面的感观。要看到，影迷的热情和路演热度这么高，不仅源于《流浪地球2》自身的艺术质量过硬，也和中国电影市场在春节档的强劲反弹、快速复苏有关。但春节档的强势表现，似乎还不足以宣告中国电影市场已经完全“回血”。
单看《流浪地球2》，据悉其初期预计制作成本为6亿元，目前有说法称最终成本为11亿，另有宣发费用2亿，该片的票房需要达到39亿元才能回本。如果此说法为真，那还只是回本，尚不敢谈盈利，这可能也就解释了，明明势头喜人，该片主创为什么还要忙着在各地路演。
也因此，对于中国电影的市场行为，不应该随意下结论，也别忙着批判，当下的我们更应该珍惜和呵护。路演的根本目的还是吸引更多观众到影院来观影，试想，如果主创团队和影院大张旗鼓地宣传，而最终无人问津，这样只会给市场带来打击和伤害。客观地说，中国电影还在恢复元气的过程中，而这个过程也是最需要呵护的。
关于《流浪地球2》的路演，既然影片每天上座率有保证，而且口碑也得到了影迷的肯定，片方想必不会在路演上剑走偏锋，毕竟比起票房，路演的收入只是杯水车薪。同样，影院一般也不想因为路演的风波而影响到影迷热情，这等于搬石头砸了自己的脚。主要问题恐怕还是出在承办各城市路演的组织人员身上，有人将票放给黄牛想趁此机会捞一笔，而黄牛也借机哄抬市场价格，造成了路演的乱象。
说到底，整治这一不良倾向，还是要从规范市场的规则入手。从路演的组织和流程来看，影迷有机会和刘德华、吴京等演员合影、交流，还能在公开场合发言，因此票价相对较高，也不是完全没有道理。只是，定价该怎么定、限定在什么样的区间里，这些还是应该由影院和片方掌握，绝不能任由黄牛胡作非为。一句话，既然组织了路演，那就应该组织好，绝不可敷衍了事。
纵观这个春节档，并非每一部电影都能像《流浪地球2》一样取得好成绩，有的影片本身有可圈可点之处，但因为竞争的激烈而遭受了一定挫折。这也提醒我们，中国电影市场的健康发展，不可能单单依靠某一部影片或者某几位演员，最关键的还是要让更多观众心甘情愿地掏钱买票。哪怕只是一场电影的路演活动，也要让影迷感到满意，保护观众的观影热情，呵护复苏中的电影市场。

中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******
中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。
资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。
麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。
一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。
此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。
作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。
美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。
这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。
从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。
两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。
House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy
(ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".
The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.
Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.
On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.
On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.
Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.
As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.
But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.
CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.
This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.
Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.
From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.
Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.
The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
