She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

The two people who were chatting and laughing at this moment did not expect that the changes would come so quickly - almost at the moment when Sigourney finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

When Su Lingxi heard the knock on the door, her first reaction was surprise. After she came to her senses, she had a bad feeling.

Before entering the screening room, she told Zhang Wenya not to disturb her with trivial official business unless it was an urgent matter that required her immediate attention.

And now, Zhang Wenya was standing behind the door with an anxious look on her face, and that look made Su Lingxi's heartbeat speed up involuntarily.

"what happened?"

"Mr. Cowen called and said...something went wrong with the project." Zhang Wenya's tone remained calm, but her face looked extremely ugly.

At the end of that day, Su Lingxi still couldn't stay to watch the rest of the film with Sigourney - the call from Kevin Cowan was strong and unquestionable, asking her to go to the company as soon as possible, and it would be best if she could deal with the public opinion crisis currently facing "The Untold Story" within 24 hours.

It is called a crisis of public opinion, but in fact it is a real "misfortune" for Sunrise: Roger Harris, the actor they carefully selected, appeared in the police station two hours ago as the cause of the car accident. The cause of the accident is temporarily determined to be drunk driving. Due to the serious injuries of the victims of the car accident, Harris is not only facing 15 days in prison, but is also likely to be charged with criminal offenses in the future.

If this incident happened before the official filming of "The Drunk Driver" started, it could be easily resolved by simply replacing the actors; but now the crew has been working for a week, and if things are not handled properly, there is a high possibility that the film itself will be implicated in the drunk driving incident.

"I remember that the investigation materials handed over before didn't seem to mention that Harris had a tendency to drink." On the way to the company, Su Lingxi was reading the latest news reports while talking to Joey who was also on the way to the company. "Isn't the filming task very heavy these days? Why did he go out of his way to invite people to drink?"

"It's probably not Roger who took the initiative to invite us." Joey's voice sounded a little muffled on the other end of the phone, and he sounded depressed about this matter. "Last night, Anita Brown held a high-profile birthday party in her manor. Roger probably wanted to make friends with some big shots, so he tried to get an invitation to sneak in..."

This kind of thing is very common in Hollywood, just like Jason Weir’s birthday party. Because the party host is a big enough figure, an ordinary birthday party can be turned into a dinner event attended by celebrities.

As more important people came, naturally more people came who wanted to take the opportunity to make friends and discuss business.

There was nothing wrong with Roger wanting to make progress, but he was wrong in that he insisted on driving on the road after drinking too much, and ultimately ended up hurting others and himself.

"If this matter continues to ferment and Anita Brown is involved, it will probably be even more difficult to deal with." Joey said tiredly, "She is much more famous than Roger. By then, this news will definitely be used as a headline by various media outlets and repeatedly hyped up. The public opinion treatment of "Surprise" may even become worse."

By that time, the negative effects of the drunk driving incident would be completely tied to the movie, and even if they kicked Roger out of the group, it would be difficult to achieve a perfect cut.

Su Lingxi was silent for a moment. "No matter what, we must find a way to terminate Harris' contract as soon as possible. Have you discussed this with UTA? What is their attitude?"

UTA is a rising star among the top five agencies in Hollywood. Although it is not as big as CAA, it should not be underestimated. Many Hollywood first-line stars are UTA's clients, including Jason Weir and Daniel Gaben.

"UTA's reaction was lukewarm. I think they probably didn't care about a minor role like Harris." After a brief moment of fatigue, Joey's voice calmed down again. "Besides, they were the first to breach the contract and committed a bad act that infringed the rights of the crew."

Su Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'll leave this matter to you - you must terminate the contract as soon as possible and make sure we get rid of it before the news spreads."

UTA's tolerant attitude was like giving her a reassurance.

As long as the situation allowed, she didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with UTA over this matter - after all, it was one of the top five talent agencies in Hollywood, and she couldn't afford to offend them in terms of connections or sphere of influence.

But now, with the cooperation of UTA, it won't be difficult for them to cut ties with Roger.

"Okay, I'll go and discuss this myself." Joey agreed without hesitation. "The situation is special now, so I may have to trouble you and Kevin to choose a suitable male lead to replace Harris. What do you think now?"

idea……

Su Lingxi rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.

From the moment I came out of the screening room until now, questions have popped up one after another, leaving me overwhelmed and with almost no time to calm down and think.

To be fair, Roger Harris' acting skills are pretty good, and compared to his pay, it is very cost-effective, and his appearance is also very good. It is actually very difficult for her to find a male actor who can replace him or even do better than him.

Fortunately, Joey didn't ask her to give an immediate answer. He just asked a few questions casually and then hung up the phone to deal with the contract termination.

Su Lingxi put away her phone, exhaled softly, and looked at the information in her hand thoughtfully, "Sister Wen Ya, what do you think about this?"

"I think if you want to resume filming as soon as possible, you must start looking for a new male lead now." Zhang Wenya thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "The crew and the equipment can't wait. If you want to reduce the negative impact of Harris's incident, you have to speed up the process of finding someone to replace him."

"Lydia is about the same level of fame as Harris. They both played supporting roles in big productions. They each have a hit TV series. They are young and cost-effective."

"If we are going to re-select someone, we can use this standard. Lydia will not accept an actor who is lower than Roger Harris."

After several years of experience, Zhang Wenya is no longer as ignorant of Hollywood as before, and can make thorough analysis based on the current situation at critical moments.
