After listening to Ella's report on the outcome of the incident, Li Jiawei said sternly, "This Xue Bin can no longer stay in the crew. I don't care how other crews do things, but in any project of our company, we will not tolerate such people with bad intentions."

Ella understood Li Jiawei's anger and supported her decision from the bottom of her heart, but the actual situation was a bit tricky.

Xue Bin's scenes have already been filmed for the most part, and they are all crucial to the plot. If all his scenes are cut, the plot connection of "Jian Ge" will have big problems; but if we find someone else to shoot, we will have to spend a lot of extra money.

Seeing that Ella was silent, Li Jiawei looked at her and asked, "Ella, do you have any ideas?"

Li Jiawei's greatest strength in managing the company is that she is never self-willed or arbitrary.

In her opinion, although she is in a high management position, she is not directly involved in the implementation of the project. Some specific implementation details are still best known to the front-line staff.

Therefore, she is always willing to listen to her subordinates' ideas and respect their opinions.

Ella looked at Li Jiawei and analyzed in an orderly manner: "Mr. Li, if Xue Bin is replaced now, the "Jian Ge" project will have to incur a large additional expense.

Although he is only the fifth male lead and does not have many scenes, he appears in many big scenes, which makes reshoots quite difficult.

But if his scenes were cut out directly, the continuity of the plot would be greatly affected, and the audience would be confused when watching it, which would ruin the viewing experience of the entire series.”

Li Jiawei listened to Ella's reasons and smiled, saying, "I have invested hundreds of millions, so why would I feel bad about the cost of reshooting?

I just want to use this incident to sound a wake-up call to other artists in the crew. I just want to tell them that my rule is that as long as they are filming with the Universal Pictures crew and as long as their acting skills are strong, whether they are artists under our company or not, we are happy to give them the opportunity to shine.

But if anyone dares to have bad intentions, then I'm sorry, no matter how good his acting skills are, we will never use him again! We won't use him this time, and don't even think about it in the future!"

At this point, Li Jiawei noticed the thoughtful look on Ella's face, and said earnestly: "Ella, you have worked at Universal Pictures for many years. I think you know very well how the company has gradually reached the point of bankruptcy.

For artists, artistic ethics are extremely important. Only by upholding good artistic ethics can they go a long way in their performing arts career.”

Ella agreed with Li Jiawei's words and nodded with deep emotion.

She has experienced a lot at Universal Pictures, so she understands very well that for a film and television entertainment company, creating a clean and healthy working environment plays a vital role in the long-term development of the company.

A positive environment can not only motivate artists to focus on improving their acting skills and honing themselves, but also establish a good reputation for the company and attract more high-quality resources.

Ella stared at Li Jiawei, and an unprecedented feeling surged in her heart. At this moment, she was extremely sure that she followed the right boss.

Although at work, she occasionally felt that Li Jiawei was too gentle when handling things, and was a little hesitant and not decisive enough when making decisions.

But at this moment, she has forgotten all these minor flaws. She knows that Li Jiawei has always adhered to her own bottom line of principles, steadily leading the company to steady development and returning to the glory that once belonged to Universal Pictures.

Following such a boss, Ella felt full of security.

She knew that she would no longer have to worry about being pushed out to take the blame for no reason, nor would she have to fear crossing the legal red line at work.

Ella nodded and said, "Mr. Li, I understand what you mean. It's just that Xue Bin is an artist of Starlight Entertainment, and there is a replacement project between our company and Starlight Entertainment. If "Jian Ge" doesn't use Xue Bin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to Mr. Liu of Starlight Entertainment."

Li Jiawei raised the corners of her mouth slightly, sneered, and said with a hint of disdain: "You don't have to worry about this. Since Liu Chengye dared to plot against me behind my back, he should have expected that he would suffer the consequences of revenge after I found out. You don't have to intervene in communicating with Liu Chengye about this matter. I will go and talk to him personally."

Ella replied, "Yes! However, regarding the actor who will replace Xue Bin, do you have a suitable person in mind?"

Li Jiawei raised her hand and rubbed her temple. She drank a little too much last night and was upset because of Xue Bin's incident. She hadn't slept yet. Now she was feeling drunk and uncomfortable. She said tiredly, "You decide who will replace her."

Seeing that Li Jiawei looked haggard, Ella quickly stood up and said with concern: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will handle it properly. You have a good rest!"

After Ella left, Li Jiawei couldn't hold on any longer and lay down on the bed. She looked at the time dazedly. It was already past three in the morning, and it was almost four. She thought that if she didn't sleep, the sun would probably come out.

The next morning, according to the original shooting plan, Xue Bin had a scene to shoot early in the morning.

He finished his makeup early and stayed in the RV, waiting anxiously, but no staff came to notify him to go on stage.

When he thought about what he and Li Fei did yesterday, he felt like there was a rabbit in his heart and became very nervous.

After all, this was his first time to participate in such a big production project, and he would be unwilling to be kicked out of the crew. Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Li Fei who had been resting with his eyes closed.

Xue Bin hesitated again and again, but finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother Fei, do you think Ella will kick me out of this crew because of what happened yesterday?"

Li Fei sat lazily with his arms folded across his chest. Hearing Xue Bin's words, he said firmly without even raising his eyelids, "Don't worry, they won't kick you out of the crew!

Think about it, you have already filmed more than half of your scenes. If you are replaced now, the cost of reshooting will be too high. And even if you don't reshoot, the plot of "Jian Ge" will not be connected at all without your part. This loss is not something they can easily bear."

“Besides, Universal Pictures and our company have signed a resource exchange agreement. If they fall out with our company, the loss will be even greater.

So, just put your heart at ease. The reason they are ignoring you now is simply because we schemed against their CEO Li, and they feel ashamed, so they are just ignoring you for a while!"

After listening to Li Fei's analysis, Xue Bin's originally anxious heart gradually calmed down.
