"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 came back in March and is currently on her first round of RB tour. Preparations are being made for next month's meet and greet and the July concert."
"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, the entire Girls' Generation 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 made a summary.
Li Xiuman nodded, of course he knew the company's situation very well.
In the past two years, SM company 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. Several other groups are also performing 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 Yuan, who can bring some comfort, 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 of money.
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. We have no extra plans except for the scheduled singing program."
The staff in charge of planning said, "Exo-M has received a very good response in Xiaguo, and during this period, many fans on 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 championship, and then the two teams will take the stage together on the 20th to see the specific follow-up reactions before making plans.”
"In addition, Yuan of Team K is currently receiving good market feedback. 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 he will receive a lot of advertising invitations in the next period of time.
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. We must screen the advertisements shot by Yuan to a certain extent 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 for the rest as much as possible."
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 Ji Kyung Won make his parachute debut, 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 good at attracting fans. He has a good family and can provide a lot of help. He can also adapt to and endure the hard training life. At the same time, he is also very polite and does not take the initiative.
The bullying happened, and Lee Soo Man couldn't be satisfied anymore.
The only regret is that although Ji Kyung Won maintains good politeness on the surface, he is not easy to get close to. Unlike some other trainees or debut artists, as long as Lee Soo Man expresses concern or closeness, he will be moved immediately.
However, although Yuan is very good, the combination of EXO 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 Team M continue to operate in Xia Kingdom, and Team K will be temporarily refrigerated except for the singing program."
"yes."
"OK."
People from various departments stood up to respond. At the same time, the meeting ended and the arrangements for exo in the future have been determined.
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." Lee Soo Man gently patted Lee Seung Hwan on the shoulder and walked out.
‘Sigh.’ Li Chenghuan sighed in his heart. He was not very optimistic about the prospects of EXO, 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 he no longer thinks of himself as an elder brother or a senior.
He maintains his identity and occasionally takes the initiative to talk to express his closeness.
Chi Jingyuan did not refuse coldly. Even if the members of a group were not friends, they were still colleagues at the end. As long as they stopped provoking, Chi Jingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him.
In the past few days, including Park Chanyeol, Kim Jong-in and Oh Sehun, the most flamboyant members of Team K have recently calmed down. These people are no longer as high-spirited as they were when they first debuted and commented on several female senior MCs in the lounge.
, 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 also like this. During the few times he played backstage on the singing stage a few times before, he received several small notes with contact information, and two of them clearly proposed dating.
He requested, with a posture that he admired him very much and would rather pursue him. Unfortunately, Chi Jingyuan did not have any reply.
Of course, there is a factor in this 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 recover soon, otherwise it will be announced quickly and people will give up. If 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.
