On the trading front, semiconductor and chip stocks led the declines, with Youpai Technology (Shanghai: 688498) hitting a 20% daily limit down. Film-related stocks also weakened, with Mango Media (Shenzhen: 300413) down 7.8% and Enlight Media (Shenzhen: 300251) down 2.7%. According to statistics from the National Film Administration, the box office during this year's National Day holiday period (October 1-7) reached 1.165 billion yuan, with 319.959 million moviegoers; during last year's National Day holiday period (October 1-8), the total box office was 1.835 billion yuan, with 500.7 million moviegoers.
