chatting with Lee Soo-man for a few words, Ji Kyung-won left the office. 。He saw that Lee Xiu Man really valued him, and it wasn't just because of his family background. It was clear that she also th..."Are there any more resources that can be pulled out recently" Li Xiuman pondered for a moment and asked.
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 " 。Next month's meetup and July's concert are both under preparation. 。"Super Junior's comeback in July is also being closely prepared, with many resources and pre-production materials already deployed. The RB single MV scheduled to be released in August is also under production." 。"F(x) will be releasing their second mini album next month, all pre-preparations are in place, and they are also scheduled to officially debut in RB in August." 。A manager, looking at the files in his hands, said in a tight tone:"The sub-unit TTS of Girls' Generation also released their sound source last month, and officially released their album on the 2nd of this month. The response has been very good, and the company is preparing to increase its investment." 。In addition, Girls' Generation is scheduled to make a comeback in January next year. The company has already begun preliminary preparations and will officially launch the project in the second half of the year. 。"Today, the company's full return is very tight on resources. There are no spare resources available." 。Finally, the manager summarized. 。Li Xiuman nodded, of course he knew the company's situation very well. 。
Over the past two years, ** Entertainment has been in a period of great success. Girls' Generation reached its peak, and while SJ faced the risk of military service, their popularity remained high. Several other groups also performed well in the market, with impressive responses, reviews, and earnings.
This year, the company's major groups have made a full comeback. EXO wouldn't have many resources to begin with, and besides Yuan bringing some comfort, their debut performance hasn't been ideal. 。
If a combination is very popular and has high heat, it's very easy to promote it. Investing resources is twice the result with half the effort, and many times you don't even need to take the initiative. Businesses will proactively invite them to perform, and television stations will also ask them to be on shows.
But for an average-popularity group, it's the opposite. Forcing them onto a show would cost a lot. 。After some thought, Lee Soo Man asked, “What are K Team’s plans for now” “Due to EXO-K's cold reception upon their domestic debut, we have withdrawn the resources previously allocated to EXO-K. Aside from scheduled music programs, there are no further plans.” 。"The staff in charge of planning said: “EXO-M has a good response in Xia Guo, and there have been many fans on the peninsula network recently calling for M to perform on the peninsula. We have already scheduled M's debut stage for Shoion on the 15th, and on the 20th, both teams will perform together. Let's see the specific feedback afterwards and make plans.”" 。Besides, the market response to K team's Yuan is currently good. Despite the pre-release of their debut song, his popularity continues to rise. We have received many invitations regarding him, but most of them are for him individually rather than as a member of EXO-K. 。Apart from that, we've recently received quite a few advertising invitations for Yuan. He's been receiving positive feedback and praise from advertising agencies and brands. We anticipate many more advertising opportunities in the coming period...The reporting manager seemed hesitant, but continued under Lee Soo-man's gesture: "According to information we received from several cooperating advertising agencies, some medium-sized or larger brands are also in contact with them. Many manufacturers want Yuan to shoot their ads, but the level of these cases doesn't seem to match Yuan and EXO's current status...""Hmm, I know about that. It's largely related to Yuan's family situation. Continue communication, and be selective about the advertisements Yuan shoots. Reject those that could negatively impact his image." 。Besides, unless you insist on having Yuan shoot solo, try to push the other members of EXO-K as much as possible. 。Even the serious expression Li Xiuman had maintained throughout the meeting appeared to be touched by a hint of pride. 。He had known beforehand that letting Chi Jingyuan make his debut through an airborne entry would have certain risks, but it would definitely come with numerous advantages. The recent influx of advertising invitations is validating his views. 。He really admires Ji Jingyuan. His skills are excellent, he naturally attracts fans, his family background is good and he can provide a lot of help, and he can adapt to and endure the hard training life. 。Besides being polite, he never took the initiative to bully anyone. Li Xiuman could be satisfied no longer. 。The only regret is that although Chi Jingyuan maintains a very polite demeanor on the surface, he is not easy to get close to. 。Unlike some other trainees or idols, as soon as Lee Soo-man shows concern or affection, she becomes overwhelmed with emotion. 。Though Yuan is great, the EXO group still gives me a headache. 。
The conference room fell silent for a moment. After whispering briefly to each other, Lee Xiu-man and Kim Young-min finally announced, “I have no objections, so let’s follow your plan. Let’s see how the K team and M team perform after they combine. If the response is satisfactory, we will continue investing. But if things remain the same as now, with no improvement… let M team continue to be active in Xia Guo. As for K team, besides participating in music shows, they should be put on hold for now.”
”
“是。"Okay" 。People from each department stood up one after another to respond, and at the same time, the meeting came to an end. The arrangement for EXO's next period of time has also been finalized. 。Lee Xiuman and Kim Young-min nodded, got up and prepared to leave the meeting room. Just before opening the door, Lee Xiuman suddenly seemed to remember something and instructed Li Chenghuan, who had been listening quietly all along: "Chenghuan, there aren't many activities for Team K this period, so when there are no group activities, you should follow Yuan first. Make sure you keep an eye on him. In a few days, I will send someone to help you. " 。"I understand, General Li." 。Lee Seung-hwang immediately bowed in response. 。"Lately, you've been under a lot of stress too. Keep up the good work" 。Lee Xiu Man gently patted Lee Seung Hwan on the shoulder and walked out. 。
Oh
Lee Seung-hwan sighed inwardly. He wasn't optimistic about EXO's future, but there was nothing he could do about it. 。
On the other side, in EXO's practice room, Ji Kyeong-won hadn't sat for long before Park Chanyeol, who had disappeared earlier, returned. He looked downcast as well, wondering what he had been up to.
Park Chan-ryeol didn't say much either. After glancing at Ji Jingyuan, he silently joined the practice team. 。Those who can train for years and successfully debut are basically quite smart. Park Chan-leek, through his observations over this period of time, had long discovered that Ji Kyoung-won was extraordinary. He was highly valued by the higher-ups, and he also obviously came from a prominent background. After his debut, his popularity was worlds apart. Although they were both members of the same group, it was clear that they weren't on the same level. 。He had long since put away the facade he often wore in the first few days, and he no longer acted as a brother or senior. He would even occasionally take the initiative to strike up a conversation to show his closeness. 。Chi Jingyuan didn't give him a cold face and refused either. Even if a member of the group couldn't become friends, they were at least colleagues. As long as he stopped provoking him, Chi Jingyuan was too lazy to care about him. 。
In recent days, including Park Chan-wook, Kim Jong-in, and Wu Shixun, the most flamboyant members of Team K have also calmed down. These people are no longer as energetic as they were on their debut day when they were praising several female seniors MC in the dressing room. Their experiences after their debut have made them feel like they've fallen into an ice cave. The doubts and anxiety about the future have put a lot of pressure on them, and even their usual favorite topic, beautiful female idols, has lost its appeal.
In fact, it's not just them, Chi Jingyuan himself is the same.
After a few minor singing stages, he received several small notes with contact information on them. Two of them even explicitly proposed dating him, showing their admiration and willingness to pursue him. 。It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan didn't reply at all. 。Of course, there are factors such as the female idols' personal qualities not meeting his standards, but more importantly, he's also been demotivated by the recent group situation. 。
I just hope the situation will warm up soon, otherwise, it's best to announce that it's completely over and let people give up.
Given up, accepting reality means there are no more pointless expectations and pressures. 。After a while, the manager, Lee Seung Hwan, returned to the practice room and announced their schedule for the next few days. 。
First release on Traditional Novel Networkom, there are also the members who seem to have more freedom."Oh, senior female artists who debuted before are different, getting closer and seeing them in person is really amazing!"Hola is in great s...
