Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1681 The Unruly Person
Because Fang Yat Hua is not in the company during the Chinese New Year, even if she goes to work, she will go to TVB, basically it is unlikely that she will come to Xiangjiang Cinemas.

So usually the affairs here are handed over to the deputy general manager Ding Yunsheng.

When Wang Jing and the others came to Xiangjiang Cinemas, it was Ding Yunsheng who was in charge of receiving them.

"Happy New Year everyone, Gong Xi Fa Cai, good luck."

Regarding the arrival of Wang Jing and others, Ding Yunsheng looked very calm, as if he had guessed it a long time ago, or someone had already told him in advance.

"Manager Ding, we are here today to ask questions about the number of shows and allocation of theaters."

Mai Jia, Wang Jing, Cheng Xiaodong and Huang Baiming sat in front of Ding Yunsheng.

Although these four people looked hostile, Ding Yunsheng kept a very modest smile from the beginning to the end.

"You guys, please feel free to ask. If you need any clarification, please feel free to speak up. As the deputy general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas, I am naturally happy to help you."

Ding Yunsheng seemed to be very talkative, but if he was confused by his appearance, he would definitely suffer.

"Manager Ding, we would like to ask, according to the previous rules, the theaters and times of screenings are allocated according to attendance and box office. This should not change, right?"

Huang Baiming was the first to ask a question, and he went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Ding Yunsheng nodded immediately.

"Mr. Huang is right. Xiangjiang Cinemas has always followed this rule, and it will be the same in the future. If we want to change it, we will invite everyone to discuss it as soon as possible, and we will never change it on our own."

What Ding Yunsheng said was quite pleasant, but if Xiangjiang Cinemas really did this, then Maijia and the others would not make such a special trip today.

This guy made it clear that he was saying one thing and doing another, using such words to perfuse Maijia and the others.

"What Manager Ding said is very good, but I would like to ask, as far as I know, the number of episodes of "Shaolin Boxing King" is still exactly the same as when it was released. I would like to ask how you explain this."

Wang Jing looked at Ding Yunsheng and asked with a smile.

For Wang Jing, if the number of theaters and shows of "Shaolin Boxing King" can be reduced as soon as possible, then "Overlord Flower" can get a part.

In this case, the single-day box office of "Overlord Flower" will definitely exceed 400 million.

The sooner you adjust the number of shows and theaters, it is a good thing for both "The Overlord Flower" and "Best Partner".

"Is there such a thing?"

Ding Yunsheng pretended to be very surprised, as if he didn't know that such a thing happened.

For Ding Yunsheng's acting stupid, Mai Jia and others were very unhappy.

It's okay to say that others don't know, but as the deputy general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas, he is the senior manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas besides Fang Yihua, so how could he not know.

It's fine for this guy to pretend to be stupid, but he still performs such a poor performance in front of them. Do you really think they are idiots?

"Manager Ding, it's not good if some things are overplayed. Others don't know the allocation of theaters and shows, but you, as the deputy general manager of Xiangjiang Cinemas, don't you know?"

Mai Jia exposed Ding Yunsheng's disguise in one bite, he didn't want to waste time with him.

Ding Yunsheng shook his head quickly when he heard this.

"Mr. Mai misunderstood, I am not pretending to be stupid, I am indeed ignorant of this matter, please wait a moment, I will go to understand the situation."

After Ding Yunsheng finished speaking, he stood up, and it seemed that he was going to ask someone to find out what was going on.

But the more Ding Yunsheng behaved like this, the more it meant that he was really deliberately pretending to be stupid in front of Maijia and the others.

With his status in Xiangjiang Cinemas, if he had anything to do, he could just call the people below and ask. It was obviously superfluous to go out in front of them and ask.

"Ding Yunsheng must have been asked by Fang Yihua to deliberately perfuse us. If he can delay it for a day, he will do it. If he can't delay it, he will do it."

Mai Jia could tell that the purpose of Ding Yunsheng's appearance today was to delay time.

He can use the excuse that he doesn't know and needs time to investigate. Anyway, he can investigate for a day or two, as long as he can delay it.

At that time, I really can't drag it any longer, I believe Jiahe can also understand Fang Yathua's painstaking efforts.

But since Maijia and Wang Jing have already come to the door, if this matter is not resolved today, they will naturally not be reconciled.

In another room, Ding Yunsheng picked up the phone and called Fang Yihua.

"Maijia and the others are here? It's not Fang Jinsheng? Interesting."

Fang Yihua had already guessed that Xiangjiang Cinemas' move would definitely cause New Oriental's dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect that Lin Daoqiu didn't send Fang Jinsheng to talk, but called Mai Jia and the others over.

"Manager Ding, just do what I told you before, and you can delay as long as you can."

Fang Yathua is naturally on the side of Golden Harvest this time, it doesn't matter even if Xiangjiang Cinemas suffer a little loss, the most important thing is to keep Golden Harvest's show.

It's just that Fang Yihua really didn't have much confidence in whether this kind of help would be useful to Jiahe.

Judging from the current box office revenue of "Shaolin Boxing King", although it has not yet reached a terrible situation, compared with the other three movies, the gap can still be seen at a glance.

Unknowingly, Fang Yathua went back to the old way when she was running Shaw Cinemas.

At that time, Shaw Cinemas mainly screened films made by Shaw Brothers themselves. Even if the attendance rate was unreasonably low, Fong Yat-wah did not withdraw or reduce the number of screenings, but continued to release them.

It's just that she is now the home of Xiangjiang Cinemas, and it will definitely not work if she still uses the previous method to manage Xiangjiang Cinemas.

After Ding Yunsheng put down the phone, he sat for about 10 minutes before getting up and returning to his office.

"I'm really sorry. Most of the people below have gone back for the New Year. I have already sent someone to investigate. Please rest assured, I will investigate the matter as soon as possible. If there is such a thing, I will immediately adjust the number of sessions."

Ding Yunsheng did not give a specific time, he only said that he had asked people to check, but as to whether to check for one day or two or three days, it depends on Ding Yunsheng's intention.

After all, it is Chinese New Year now, Ding Yunsheng can say that he found a perfect time to do this.

When Mai Jia and the others heard it, they immediately became angry, because Ding Yunsheng was obviously trying to perfunctory them, which had exceeded the limit of their patience.

Everyone is making a living in the film industry, and Ding Yunsheng obviously tricked them into treating them like three-year-olds.
