"Is there any resources that can be pulled out recently?" Li Xiuman thought for a while and asked.

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

"SHINee just returned in March and is now on its first round of RB tour. Preparations are underway for next month's meet-and-greet and a concert in July. ”

"Super Junior's return in July is also in close preparation, a lot of resources and pre-production materials have been put out, and the music video for the RB single that is expected to be released in August is also being filmed."

"F(x) will release their second mini-album next month, and all the preparations are already in place, and they are scheduled to make their official debut at RB in August."

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

"Girls' Generation Squad TTS has also released the source of music last month, and the album was officially released on the 2nd of this month, and the response has been very good, and the company is ready to increase the investment of resources. In addition, the Girls' Generation team is expected to return in January next year, and the company has already begun to prepare in advance, and the project will be officially launched in the second half of the year. ”

"Today, the company's portfolio has fully returned in the past year, and the resource arrangement is very tight, and there is no excess to be extracted."

Finally, the manager made a summary.

Li Xiuman nodded, of course he knew a lot about the company's situation.

In the past two years, SM company is in a very prosperous stage, Girls' Generation has reached its peak, SJ is facing the risk of service, but its popularity has not declined, and several other groups have also performed very well in the market, whether it is the response, evaluation or income is very considerable.

And this year, the company's major groups are back in full swing, and there are not many resources that can be allocated to EXO, not to mention that in addition to some comfort that Yuan can bring, their debut results are not ideal.

If the popularity of the group is very high and the popularity is very explosive, it is very simple to push, and investing resources is twice the result with half the effort, and even many times there is no need to take the initiative to invest, the business will take the initiative to invite commercial performances, and the TV station will also find you to do the program.

But the average popularity of the group is the opposite, and it will cost a lot to force them on the show.

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

"Because of the cold reception of EXO-K's local debut, we withdrew the resources previously allocated to EXO-K, and we have no extra plans other than scheduled singing shows."

The staff member in charge of the planning said: "The EXO-M team has received a good response in the summer country, and there are many fans on the Peninsula Internet during this time who have called for the M team to perform on the peninsula, and we have already booked the debut stage of the M team on the 15th as Show Champion, and then the two teams will take the stage together on the 20th, and we will see the specific feedback before making plans." ”

"On top of that, Team K's Yuan is currently well received by the market, and his popularity is still on the rise despite the debut song, and we have received a lot of offers about him, but most of the offers are from him alone and not from Team EXO-K. In addition, we have received a lot of advertising invitations for Yuan recently, and have received unanimous praise from advertising companies and brands, and the feedback and evaluation are very good, and it is expected that we will get a lot of advertising invitations in the next period of time, and ......"

The manager who was reporting was a little hesitant, but at the suggestion of Li Xiuman, he added: "According to the information we have obtained from several cooperative advertising agencies, there are still some medium-sized or above brands that are in contact with them, and many manufacturers want to appoint Yuan to shoot advertisements, but the level of these cases does not seem to match the current value of Yuan and EXO......

"Well, I know this, I have a lot to do with Yuan's own family factors, continue to maintain communication, have a certain selection of advertisements shot by Yuan, and reject those advertisements that will affect his image. In addition, if you don't insist on letting Yuan shoot alone, you will push EXO-K as much as possible. ”

Li Xiuman's serious expression since the meeting also showed some smug smiles. He knew before that although there was a certain risk in making Chi Jingyuan's airborne debut, there would definitely be a lot of advantages, and the advertising invitations that had come in the past few days positively affected his opinion.

He really appreciates Chi Jingyuan, his strength is very good, he is born to attract fans, his family is excellent and can provide a lot of help, and he can adapt and endure the hard practice life. At the same time, he was also very polite, and he didn't take the initiative to bully people, and Li Xiuman couldn't be more 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 Li Xiuman expresses concern or closeness, he can be moved immediately.

However, although Yuan is very good, the combination of EXO is still a headache.

The conference room became silent for a while, and after exchanging opinions with Kim Young-min in a low voice, they finally announced: "I don't have any opinions, so let's follow your plan, take a look at the performance of Team K and Team M after they are combined, and if the response is satisfactory, then continue to invest, if it is still the same as the current situation, there is no improvement...... Let Team M continue to operate in Xia Kingdom, and Team K will temporarily refrigerate in addition to playing songs. ”

"Yes."

"Okay."

People from various departments stood up to respond, and at the same time, the meeting ended, and the arrangements for EXO for the future period have been decided.

Li Xiuman and Kim Yingmin nodded, got up and prepared to walk out of the conference room, and before opening the door, Li Xiuman suddenly remembered and told Li Chenghuan, who had been listening: "Chenghuan, there are not many activities of Team K during this time, when there are no group activities, you should follow Yuan first, be sure to watch him a little, and I will send someone to help you in a few days." ”

"I see, Director Lee, Nim." Lee Seung-hwan immediately bowed in response.

"You've been under a lot of pressure lately, keep trying." Lee so-man gently patted Lee Seung-hwan's shoulder and walked out.

'Alas. Lee Seung-hwan sighed in his heart, he was not very optimistic about the prospects of EXO, but he couldn't do anything about it.

…………

On the other side, in EXO's practice room, Ji Jingyuan didn't sit for a while, and when the members started practicing again, Park Chanyeol, who had disappeared just now, came back, and the whole person looked very sad, not knowing what he had just done.

Park Chanyeol didn't say much, and after glancing at Ji Jingyuan, he silently joined the practice team.

People who can be trainees for many years and successfully debuted are basically quite smart, Park Chanyeol has long discovered that Ji Jingyuan is not ordinary through the observation of this time, and he has been valued by the top management at the same time, and his own background is obviously extraordinary, and his popularity after his debut is even more different, although they are all members of the same group, they are obviously not the same. He has long put away the face he often put on in the first few days, and he no longer regards himself as an elder brother or a senior at all, and occasionally takes the initiative to talk to express his closeness.

Ji Jingyuan didn't refuse with a cold face, even if a member of a group can't be a friend, he is a colleague at the very least, as long as he doesn't provoke anymore, Ji Jingyuan doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

In the past few days, including Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in and Oh Se-hoon, several of the most fancy people in the K team have also settled down recently, and these people are completely no longer high-spirited in the lounge on the day of their debut, and the encounters after their debut made them feel like falling into an ice cave, and the doubts and insecurities about the future also made them extremely stressed, and the beautiful female idol who loved to talk about them together in the past was no longer interested in mentioning it.

In fact, it's not just them, but Chi Jingyuan himself. When he was backstage on the singing stage a few times before, he received several small notes with contact information, and two of them clearly made a request for a relationship, and he was very appreciative of him and would rather chase after him. It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan didn't have any reply.

Of course, there are factors that the quality of the female idol who shows favor cannot meet his standards.

But more often than not, he was also distracted by the recent situation of the combination.

I only hope that the combination situation will pick up as soon as possible, or else it will be announced as soon as possible, which will make people die. If you are dead set to accept the facts, there will naturally be no unnecessary expectations and pressure.

After a while, agent Lee Seung-hwan returned to the practice room and announced to them the arrangements for the next few days.
