Peninsula Asteroid

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

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

"SHINee just came back in March, and is currently doing its first RB tour. Preparations are underway for next month's fan meeting and July concert."

"Super Junior's comeback in July is already under close preparation, a lot of resources and pre-preparation materials have been put in, and the MV for RB's single, which is expected to be released in August, is also being filmed."

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

A manager looked at the document in his hand and said in an urgent tone:

"Girls' Generation's subunit TTS also released their music source last month. The album will be officially released on the 2nd of this month. The response is very good. The company plans to increase the investment of resources. In addition, the entire Girls' Generation team is expected to return in January next year. The company The preliminary preparations have already begun, and the planning will be officially launched in the second half of the year.”

"Today, the company's portfolio has fully returned in a year, and the resource arrangement is very tight, and there is no extra spare."

Finally the manager made a conclusion.

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

In the past two years, SM has been in a very prosperous stage. Girls’ Generation has reached its peak. Although SJ is facing the risk of serving in the military, its popularity has not declined. The performance of several other groups in the market is also very good. , evaluation or income are very impressive.

This year, the company's major groups are back in full swing, and there are not many resources that can be allocated to EXO. What's more, apart from the 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 high, it is very simple to promote, and the investment of resources will get twice the result with half the effort. In many cases, there is no need to actively invest at all. Businesses will take the initiative to invite commercial performances, and TV stations will also ask you to do programs.

But the group with average popularity is just the opposite, forcing them to appear on the show will cost a lot.

After thinking about it, Li Xiuman asked: "At present, what 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 there is no extra plan except for the scheduled song playing program."

The staff in charge of the planning said: "Exo-M team received a very good response in Xiaguo, and during this period of time, many fans on the peninsula network called for the M team to perform on the peninsula. We have already scheduled the debut stage of the M team on the 15th. The Show Champion, and then the two teams will go on stage together on the 20th, and we will see the follow-up specific reactions before making plans.”

"Besides, the current market reaction of Yuan of Team K is good. His popularity is still on the rise despite the pre-cooling of his debut song. We have received many invitations about him, but most of the invitations are from him. Solo, not EXO-K team. In addition, we have received a lot of advertising invitations for Yuan recently, and have received unanimous praise from advertising companies and brand owners. The feedback and evaluation are very good, and we expect to receive more awards in the next period A lot of advertising invitations, and..."

The manager who was reporting seemed a little hesitant, but after Li Xiuman's signal, he added: "According to the information we have obtained from several cooperative advertising companies, there are still 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 the current worth of Yuan and EXO..."

"Well, I know this. It has a lot to do with Yuan's own family factors. Continue to maintain communication. We must screen the advertisements shot by Yuan and reject those that will affect his image. Besides, if it is not If you insist on appointing Yuan to shoot alone, then push EXO-K as much as possible for others.”

Li Xiuman's serious expression since the meeting also showed some smug smiles. He knew before that making Chi Jingyuan's airborne debut would be risky, but there would definitely be a lot of advantages, and the numerous advertisement invitations that have been pouring in these days have positively reflected his opinion.

For Chi Jingyuan, he really admires him. He is very capable, he is naturally able to attract fans, he has an excellent family and can provide a lot of help, and he can adapt and endure the hard practice life. At the same time, he was very polite. Li Xiuman couldn't be more satisfied if he didn't take the initiative to bully others.

The only regret is that although Chi Jingyuan maintains good manners on the surface, he is not easy to get close to. Unlike some other trainees or debut artists, as long as Li Xiuman expresses concern or closeness, he will be touched immediately.

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

The meeting room became silent for a while, and after exchanging opinions in low voices, Lee Soo Man and Kim Young Min finally announced: "I have no objections, then follow your plan and see how the K and M teams will perform after combining , if the response is satisfactory, then continue to invest, if there is still no improvement like the current situation... Let the M team continue to be active in Xiaguo, and the K team, except for the song show, temporarily freeze it."

"yes."

"OK."

People from various departments stood up to respond one after another, and at the same time the meeting came to an end, and the arrangements for EXO in the future have also been finalized.

Li Xiuman and Kim Youngmin nodded, got up and prepared to walk out of the meeting room, but before opening the door, Li Xiuman suddenly reminded Lee Seung-hwan who had been listening: "Seung-hwan, there are not many activities in the K team during this time, no group activities You will follow Yuan first, be sure to keep an eye on him, and I will send someone to help you after a few days."

"I understand, Director Li nim." Lee Seung-hwan immediately responded with a bow.

"You've been under a lot of pressure recently, keep working hard." Li Xiuman patted Lee Seung-hwan on the shoulder lightly, and walked out.

'well. ’ Lee Seung-hwan sighed in his heart, he was not very optimistic about the prospect of EXO, but he was helpless.

…………

On the other side, in EXO's practice room, Ji Jingyuan didn't sit for a while. When the members started to practice again, Park Chanyeol, who had disappeared just now, came back. He also looked very sad. He didn't know what he was doing just now.

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

People who have been trainees for many years and successfully debuted are basically very smart. Through observation during this period, Park Chanyeol has long discovered that Ji Jingyuan is not ordinary. Their popularity is even more different. Although they are all members of the same group, they are obviously not the same. He has long since put away the facial expression that he often put on in the first few days, and he no longer regards himself as a brother or senior at all, and occasionally he will take the initiative to talk to him to express his closeness.

Chi Jingyuan didn't coldly refuse either. Even if a member of a group can't be a friend, he is a colleague at last. As long as he doesn't provoke him anymore, Chi Jingyuan won't bother to talk to him.

In the past few days, including Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in and Oh Se-hoon, the most flamboyant members of the K team have recently settled down. These few people are no longer the high-spirited and high-spirited ones who commented on several female senior MCs in the waiting room on the day of their debut. , The encounters after their debut made them fall into an ice cave, and their doubts and anxiety about the future also put them under great pressure. The beautiful female idols they used to love to talk about together no longer have the interest to talk about.

In fact, not only them, but also Chi Jingyuan himself. When he was backstage a few times before, he received a few small notes with contact information, and two of them explicitly asked for a relationship. He seemed to appreciate him and would rather chase after him posture. It's a pity that Chi Jingyuan didn't reply.

Of course, there are factors in which the quality of the female idol who is showing off is not up to his standard.

But more is that he was also not interested in the recent combination situation.

I just hope that the situation of the combination will recover soon, or else I will hurry up and announce that it is cool, which will make people give up. If you give up and accept the facts, you will naturally have no unnecessary expectations and pressure.

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