"Are there any resources that can be spared recently?" Li Xiuman asked after thinking for a while.

"The company's resource allocation this year is very tight."

"SHINee just made their comeback in March and are currently on their first RB tour. Preparations are being made for next month's meeting and concert in July."

"Super Junior's return in July is also being closely prepared. A lot of resources and preliminary preparation materials have been put out. The RB single MV expected to be released in August is also being filmed."

"F(x) will release their second mini-album next month, and all preliminary preparations are in place. They are also scheduled to officially debut on RB in August."

A manager looked at the documents in his hand and said in a tight tone:

"Girls' Generation's sub-unit TTS has also released its music last month, and the album was officially released on the 2nd of this month. The response has been very good, and the company is ready to increase investment in resources. In addition, Girls' Generation's entire team is expected to make a comeback in January next year, the company Preliminary preparations have begun now, and planning will be officially launched in the second half of the year.”

"Today, the company's portfolio has fully returned for the year, and resource arrangements are very tight, and there is no excess available."

Finally, the manager concluded.

Li Xiuman nodded, of course he knew the company's situation very well.

SM has been in a very prosperous stage in the past two years. Girls' Generation has reached its peak. Although SJ is facing the risk of serving in the military, his popularity has not declined. Several other groups are also performing very well in the market, regardless of the response. , both the evaluation and the income are very impressive.

This year, the company's major groups have returned in full force, and there are not many resources that can be allocated to EXO. Besides, except for the comfort that Yuan can bring, their debut results are not ideal.

If the group is very popular and popular, it is very simple to promote it. Investing resources will get twice the result with half the effort. In many cases, you don’t even need to actively invest at all. Merchants will actively invite commercial performances, and TV stations will also find you to do programs.

But the opposite is true for groups with average popularity. Forcing them to be on the show will cost a lot.

After thinking about it, Li Xiuman asked: "For now, what other plans does Team K have?"

"Due to the cold reception of EXO-K's local debut, we withdrew the resources previously allocated to EXO-K. We have no extra plans except for the scheduled singing program."

The staff in charge of the planning said: "The EXO-M team has received a very good response in Xiaguo, and during this period, many fans on the Peninsula Network have called for Team M to come to Peninsula to perform. We have already booked Team M's debut stage for the 15th. Show Champion, and then the two teams will take the stage together on the 20th, and we will see the subsequent specific reactions before making plans.”

"In addition, Yuan of Team K is currently receiving good market response. His popularity is still on the rise even though his debut song has been cooled down. We have received a lot of invitations for him, but most of the invitations are from him. Solo, not EXO-K team. In addition, we have recently received a lot of advertising invitations for Yuan, which has been well received by advertising companies and brands. The feedback and evaluation are very good, and it is expected that Yuan will receive a lot of advertising invitations in the coming period. There are a lot of advertising invitations, and..."

The manager who was reporting seemed a little hesitant, but at Li Xiuman's signal, he added: "According to the information we obtained from several cooperative advertising companies, there are also some medium-sized or above brands that are in contact with them, and there are many The manufacturer hopes to appoint Yuan to shoot commercials, but the level of these cases does not seem to match Yuan and EXO’s current worth..."

"Well, I know this. It has a lot to do with Yuan's own family factors. Continue to maintain communication, and there must be certain screening for the advertisements shot by Yuan, and reject those advertisements that will affect his image. In addition, if not If we insist on appointing Yuan to shoot alone, we will push EXO-K as much as possible for the others.”

Lee Soo Man's serious expression since the meeting also showed some proud smiles. He knew before that although there were certain risks in letting Chi Jingyuan debut by air, there would definitely be many advantages. The influx of advertising invitations in the past few days confirmed his opinion.

He really admires Chi Jingyuan. He is very talented, has a natural ability to attract fans, has an excellent family and can provide a lot of help, and can also adapt to and endure the hard training life. At the same time, he was very polite and did not actively bully others. Li Xiuman could no longer be satisfied.

The only regret is that although Chi Jingyuan maintains good politeness on the surface, he is not easy to get close to. Unlike some other trainees or debuting artists, as long as Lee Soo Man expresses concern or intimacy, he will be moved immediately.

But although Yuan is very good, the EXO group is still a headache.

There was silence in the conference room for a while. After Li Xiuman and Jin Yingmin exchanged opinions in a low voice, they finally announced: "I don't have any objections. Let's go with your plan and see how Team K and Team M perform after they are combined." , if the response is satisfactory, then continue to invest. If there is still no improvement like the current situation... let M team continue to operate in Xia Kingdom, and K team, except for the singing program, stay in cold storage for the time being."

"yes."

"OK."

People from various departments stood up to respond. At the same time, the meeting ended and EXO's arrangements for the future have been finalized.

Li Xiuman and Jin Yingmin nodded, stood up and prepared to walk out of the conference room. Before opening the door, Li Xiuman suddenly reminded Li Seunghwan, who had been listening, as if remembering: "Seunghwan, there are not many activities in the K team during this period, there are no group activities. When you arrive, just follow Yuan first and be sure to keep an eye on him. I will send someone to help you in a few days."

"I understand, Director Li nim." Li Chenghuan immediately bowed in response.

"You've been under a lot of pressure lately, keep working hard." Li Xiuman patted Li Chenghuan's shoulder lightly and walked out.

'well. 'Li Chenghuan sighed in his heart. He was not very optimistic about EXO's prospects, but there was nothing he could do about it.

…………

On the other side, in EXO's practice room, Chi Jingyuan didn't sit for a while. When the members started practicing again, Park Chanyeol, who had just disappeared, came back. He looked very sad and didn't know what he had just done.

Park Chanyeol didn't say much. He glanced at Chi Jingyuan and silently joined the practice team.

People who have been trainees for many years and have successfully debuted are basically very smart. Through his observation during this period, Park Chanyeol has long discovered that Ji Jingyuan is extraordinary. While he is highly valued by senior management, he also has an extraordinary background. After his debut, Their popularity is even more different. Although they are both members of the same group, they are obviously not the same. He has long since put away the expression he often showed in the first few days, and no longer regards himself as an older brother or senior. Occasionally, he will take the initiative to talk to express his closeness.

Chi Jingyuan didn't refuse coldly. Even if the members of a group were not friends, they were still colleagues at the end. As long as he stopped provoking, Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him.

In recent days, including Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in and Oh Sehun, the most flamboyant members of Team K have recently settled down. These people are no longer as high-spirited as they were when they first debuted in the lounge and commented on several female senior MCs. , the experiences they experienced after their debut made them feel like they were in a hole in the ice, and their doubts and uneasiness about their future also put them under great pressure. The beautiful female idols they loved to talk about together in the past no longer have the interest to talk about it.

In fact, it's not just them, Chi Jingyuan himself is the same. During the few times he had been backstage on the singing stage, he received several small notes with contact information, and two of them clearly made requests for dating. He seemed to admire him very much and would rather pursue him. posture. It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan didn't reply.

Of course there is the factor that the female idol's own quality is not up to his standards.

But it was more that he was not interested in the recent group situation.

I just hope that the situation of the group will pick up soon, otherwise it will be announced that it is completely gone, which will make people give up. Once you give up and accept the facts, there will naturally be no needless expectations and pressure.

After a while, manager Li Chenghuan returned to the practice room and announced to them the arrangements for the next few days.
