Looking at the boy standing in front of him, Li Xiuman nodded appreciatively.
The boy in front of me is very tall, about 182 centimeters by visual inspection. He has a well-maintained figure. It can be seen that he has done special exercises. He is wearing a well-fitting white sweatshirt suit. He looks fresh and healthy. He attracts the attention of the surrounding people as soon as he stands.
.
Looking up, there is a face with a slight smile. The face without makeup has good skin, which has nothing to do with the oily moon-surface skin that is common among young people of this age. The facial features are slightly soft and not too aggressive.
He is very powerful, but the combination is just right, which makes people have a vague urge to get close. His appearance is exactly the type that Lee Soo Man admires very much.
The most impressive thing is his eyes. In order to match the smile, his eyes are squinted, almost completely covering the pupils to form two crescent smile eyes. With the lying silkworms under the eyes, it looks like he is admiring a painting.
comics.
Lee Soo Man likes faces with sharp edges and corners that are very impactful at first glance, but he also likes faces that are not so aggressive but full of affinity that make people want to see them more and more.
Especially this squinting smile, Lee Soo Man has decided to make this smile one of the boy's charm points in the future.
"Jingyuan, you already understand the things you have to abide by as a company member, right?" Li Xiuman said with a kind smile looking at the boy in front of him.
"Yes, Li Xiuman pd nim." Chi Jingyuan nodded.
SM Entertainment Management Company has quite a lot of regulations for its members, including everything from training to accommodation to dressing style and even how to style their hair. The company needs to make decisions, and every artist is created as a perfect product.
But there are always exceptions. There are still some people in the company who don't care much about these regulations. Senior artists who have been debuting for a long time probably don't care much either. Generally speaking, newcomers are the most restricted.
"Since you have joined the company, just call me teacher." Li Xiuman smiled and waved his hands, saying in a friendly elder manner: "Of course, the rules are rules, but the specific implementation still depends on the actual situation. In your case, I
I understand very well that some restrictions can still be relaxed."
"Thank you very much, Teacher Li Xiuman." Chi Jingyuan bowed and thanked him.
Chi Jingyuan's brother has already told him these things. After he decided to enter the entertainment industry, it was his brother Chi Jingxu who had been communicating with SM Company.
Lee Soo Man continued: "Your brother should have told you about the specific situation. You joined the company at just the right time. The company happened to have a large-scale boy group project, and the candidates have been selected. Some of the children's debut trailer videos have been
It has been made public. It is generally impossible to change personnel in this situation, but you are indeed very good. Out of overall consideration for the men's team planning and its strong and sincere expectations for you, the company decided to let you join directly.
Preparing for the debut group, you must seize the time to practice and reach the stage standards as soon as possible to participate in the filming of the debut trailer video and song MV."
After saying that, Lee Soo Man warned with a concerned look: "The life of the debut group can be very hard. Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, Teacher Li Xiuman, I will definitely live up to the company's expectations." Chi Jingyuan bowed gently and kept smiling.
"That's the best. You are indeed someone I like. Let's continue working hard to achieve stardom." Li Xiuman also nodded with satisfaction.
Two people with very different looks but the same squinting smile made the atmosphere in the office very harmonious.
‘Dong dong.’
There was a gentle knock on the door, and with Li Xiuman's permission, a man about thirty years old came in and bowed first to say hello: "Director Li nim."
"Yeah." Li Xiuman nodded, pointed to Ji Jingyuan who was greeting him next to him, and said to the man: "Seunghwan, this is Ji Jingyuan. The company has made a decision to let him join EXO's pre-debut group and branch.
It’s exo-k, Baekhyun from team K transferred to team M, Luhan became the captain of team M, and former member Wu Saek became a trainee again.”
"I know Director Nim, I will get it done." This man, Li Chenghuan, immediately nodded and agreed. Although the notice was very sudden and disrupted many plans that had been planned in advance, he knew what needed to be done now.
Just nod.
He is the person promoted by Lee Soo Man, and he is very aware of Lee Soo Man's right to speak over EXO members.
He turned his eyes to Chi Jingyuan, who was saluting at the side, looked up and down, and nodded in agreement.
Although I don’t know the specific reason for the ‘airborne’, this appearance is quite convincing.
"Jingyuan, this is your group. Lee Seung-hwan, the manager of EXO's manager, not only manages the entire EXO group, but also manages the EXO-K team you belong to. Once you join the company, just obey his management.
"Li Xiuman pointed at Li Chenghuan and introduced to Chi Jingyuan.
"Chief Li, nim, please take care of me." Chi Jingyuan greeted.
Li Chenghuan nodded. He knew that it would not be easy for someone who could directly 'airborne' to debut and directly replace the members who were confirmed to debut, so he did not put on his serious face when facing other members in the past, but instead put on a new one.
A warm smile that resembles that of Lee Soo Man.
"Well, you are the head of the room, so I specifically called you here to tell you. Several other managers and group members also need me to personally explain. Are Hyunkyun and Yalin looking after the children?" As he said that, Li Xiuman stood up.
He stood up and asked Li Chenghuan as he walked. After receiving the affirmation, he didn't waste any time and led the two of them directly towards EXO's practice room.
…
Just when Li Xiuman and Ji Jingyuan were having a cordial conversation, Wu Saek, who was called out of the practice room by his manager, was also walking towards the floor of the president's office.
He was still training with the members in the practice room just now. Although his abilities are average, he was selected into the debut group because of several unique advantages. Now he has begun to prepare nervously for his debut. His debut trailer video
The filming was completed a few days ago and is just waiting to be released in a few days.
Just when he was about to take a break after a dance, the manager in charge came in and called him out, telling him only, "The president asked you to come over."
Walking on the road, Wu Saike was a little puzzled and nervous. As a trainee in the past, he would not have been able to contact company executives at the level of the president unless there were special circumstances. Even if he entered the debut group and prepared to debut, he had never interacted with the company.
President Kim Young-min had spoken to him, but Lee Soo-man had met him a few times, but they didn't talk to him much.
‘Is it something that happened to those female trainees before?’ With a bit of an ominous premonition in his heart, Wu Sike began to think about whether he had made any mistakes recently, or whether some of his past things had been exposed.
After walking for a while, he arrived at his destination. He knocked on the office door anxiously, and the clear and sharp voice made him feel slightly chilled.
