Then, Li Jiawei smiled and said, "Then I will call you Ella from now on." After that, she raised her hand and pointed at the documents piled up on half of the table, and said, "Ella, can you tell me about the current situation of the company? I have limited understanding of the current situation of the company. I still have difficulty handling these tasks."

Ella stepped forward gently and said respectfully, "Of course."

Li Jiawei raised her head slightly, exhaled deeply, and then gently twisted her stiff neck a few times, and said softly: "Then let's get started now."

Since joining Universal Pictures, Li Jiawei has re-experienced the nine-to-five work life. No, her current work mode should not be called nine-to-five, her current work status is harder than the nine-to-six work mode.

Every morning when she opened her eyes, there were dozens of text messages waiting for her to read, and there were piles of documents in the office waiting for her to read and sign. Even during meal time, she had to attend various dinner parties. When she got home at 11 or 12 at night and was about to go to bed, she would feel annoyed when she thought about having to repeat the same busy work rhythm tomorrow. She really wanted the earth to explode.

Therefore, under the heavy pressure of such high-intensity work, the weight that Li Jiawei had worked so hard to gain was lost again.

And because Xiao Yi is currently experiencing life in the army, he can only talk to his family for half an hour after 7pm every night. In addition, Li Jiawei is very busy now, so every time they talk, they only have a few words and then hang up in a hurry. The two of them are now too busy to talk about love and express their endless longing for each other.

However, Li Jiawei could only make herself feel better by talking to Xiao Yi on the phone for a few minutes every day, so that her mind would not be filled with all the bad things about Universal Pictures. She never knew that managing a company was so difficult. Looking back now, her management of "Meishang" was just a small matter.

Li Jiawei sat quietly in the general manager's office, holding a document in her hand, frowning slightly, her eyes moving between the pages, it was another artist's termination contract. After a long while, she slowly raised her head and looked at Ella, her voice cold: "How many artists have terminated their contracts with the company during this period of time?"

It has been more than two months since Li Jiawei took over Universal Pictures. In the past two months, she has been busy understanding the company's current situation and sorting out various difficult problems left over from the company.

In the past, several executives in the company who followed Wang Han and Wang Zhe were taken away by the police for investigation. According to what she learned from the side, they were in serious trouble and would probably have to stay in prison for several years.

Such an incident is like a violent storm to Universal Pictures, adding insult to injury, causing Universal Pictures as a whole to suffer an extremely huge impact from public opinion. The online reputation of Universal Pictures has now reached rock bottom, and it is almost becoming synonymous with the bugs of the entertainment industry.

Some projects of other capital groups dare not use Universal Pictures' artists at all, for fear that one bad result will result in the project not being released.

What is particularly crucial is that although there were previous rumors that Universal Pictures executives and some artists were taken away for investigation on suspicion of illegal activities, these were all rumors and there was no substantial evidence, so the external environment of Universal Pictures is still relatively stable.

However, in the middle of last month, the authorities finally issued a notice with black text on a blue background, which was like a thunder of judgment, and completely defined the criminal group headed by Wang Han and Wang Zhe. Three first-line artists under Universal Pictures were also implicated, arrested by the police, and thrown into prison.

For a moment, not to mention the people outside, even the people inside the company were in a panic, like a frightened bird.

The capital market is even more sensitive and can sniff out any disturbance. As soon as the official announcement was released, all kinds of rumors and groundless speculations on the Internet surged like a surging wave. Universal Pictures' stock fell straight down like a kite with a broken string, almost reaching the limit.

Li Jiawei had never encountered such a difficult situation before. She was so anxious that she got angry and her mouth was covered with bubbles. Finally, she asked Uncle Liang for advice and managed to stabilize the shaky stock market of Universal Pictures.

Because of this, Li Jiawei was so busy every day last month that she had no time to rest and was under a lot of pressure, which is why she lost weight so quickly.

To this day, although the stock price of Universal Pictures has been stabilized, the management within the company has been reappointed and started to perform their respective duties, everything seems to be getting better.

However, Universal Pictures has not yet completely emerged from the quagmire, and other film and television companies have pounced on it like hungry wolves, turning their attention to the artists under Universal Pictures and taking advantage of the situation.

Ella sighed and said slowly, "Since last month until today, four first-tier artists have terminated their contracts with the company, and as many as eight second- and third-tier artists."

Not counting the artists who had problems before, now twelve artists have left at once, all of them are famous artists, which has almost shaken the foundation of Universal Pictures.

Those artists terminated their contracts with the company and paid the company liquidated damages, but compared with the actual losses of Universal Pictures, the liquidated damages were just a small amount. The liquidated damages of the twelve people totaled only over 100 million yuan, and what Universal Pictures lacked now was not money at all.

You know, if a company wants to cultivate a first-line artist, it needs to devote a huge amount of resources and effort to him. Compared with the effort and resources the company has invested, how can the liquidated damages make up for the company's huge investment in them?

As for the remaining people in the company, most of them are not famous in the entertainment industry. It’s not that they don’t want to find better opportunities, but no company is interested in them. They have no choice but to stay in Universal Pictures and wait for a turnaround.

Of course, the artists who stayed also had their own thoughts. In their hearts, they were actually happy that so many well-known artists left the company, because the departure of top artists was very beneficial to those of them who were not famous.

The number of artists in the company has dropped sharply, so the next step for the company is naturally to train new artists. Then, wouldn’t everyone have a share of the resources left behind by those artists?

Moreover, those who can sign a contract with Universal Pictures are all in good condition. What they lack is just an opportunity to become popular.

Li Jiawei subconsciously tapped the table with her knuckles and continued, "The relationship between the company and the artist is a two-way choice. For those who insist on leaving, forcibly retaining them will only hurt their feelings."

Ever since Universal Pictures got into trouble, fans of its famous artists have gone crazy and have cursed almost everything about Universal Pictures inside and out.
