Chapter 2. So It Was Decided

his surprise, before he could even bask in the glory for a moment, he was pulled away by Sunny and Taeyeon together, pushed to the front of the camera, singing and laughing at him.Hyoeon somehow got...(HY)

“Are you really sure about your decision”

Although he had already voted in his mind, as the president of ** Entertainment, Kim Young-min felt it necessary to ask this question. After all, this wasn't a small matter.

"

“That’s right, from a professional artist's perspective, although this child has never been a trainee in the company, it is said that out of love for these arts, he has undergone quite systematic training in both dance and music for a considerable amount of time. The dance and vocal teachers his parents found for him are not ordinary either.”

" 。So whether it's VOCAL, dancing, or even his stage presence which he hasn't received professional training for, he has an advantage over Wu Sike. 。"Wu Sike wasn't selected for the group based on his skills. His abilities were not even average among the trainees. He was chosen for the debut group only because he was good-looking and had a foreign bloodline, which better aligned with the concept of the team." 。But Wu Saike's advantages pale in comparison to this child. 。Although this child's abilities are not top-notch, they can reach a performance level with just a little practice. With a period of intensive training, they will surely become a qualified artist. 。As the founder and chairman of the company, Lee Soo-man, who is in charge of artist cultivation, said in a confident and unquestionable tone: 。

Wearing glasses, his small eyes sparkled with intelligence. After a pause, Lee Xiuman continued speaking:

"Besides that, I've also communicated with this child's family. Aside from singing, he will also develop in the film and television industry. And his brother said that his family is willing to provide him with reliable resources and share contacts in other areas."

"And that is exactly what our company needs. 。As an entertainment company, even with some achievements in the music industry, only walking on two legs will be stable. The company has already suffered a lot in this area..."

Li Xiuman seemed to realize that he was slightly off-topic. He stopped talking, took off his glasses, and carefully wiped them with a soft cloth. The slightly excited emotions in his heart also calmed down. Then, he put on his glasses and continued:

"I have met this child twice. Even without the family factor, I would definitely recruit him to the company. His talent is exactly what the company needs" 。I also heard from his brother that this child seems to have a good creative talent, I don't know if it's true. 。However, this is not important. It's certainly good for a company to have creative talent, but it doesn't matter if they don't. 。This is my evaluation and final decision from the artist development side. 。Finally, Lee Soo-man gave a concluding statement. 。Since there are no problems from the artist's point of view, then it's decided. 。Kim Young-min nodded, a stiff smile appearing on his face. Lee Soo-man's decision was exactly what he had in mind. Even if Lee Soo-man disagreed, he had already prepared to persuade him beforehand. After all, the resources held by that child's family were very necessary for the company to contact, even if the child's level was really average, as long as it wasn't terrible, he would keep him. 。He doesn't really understand the business of cultivating artists, that's far beyond him compared to someone like Lee Soo Man who comes from an artist background. But running a company is his forte, he knows exactly what he wants. 。Seeing the two reach a consensus, Kim Young-min relaxed slightly, took out a document he had prepared beforehand and placed aside, glanced at it and handed it to Lee Soo-man, saying in a probing tone: "It's almost February now. The teaser videos of several members have already been released. Should we continue with the original debut plan if we change members now Do we need to make a new plan"Lee Soo-man took the document, looked it over carefully for a moment, and said after some deliberation:"Let's keep the February plan as it is for now. After that child enters the company, let's conduct an intensive training program first, then directly shoot a teaser video. Once the teaser video is finished, we will reshoot the pre-release single MV." 。The set used for the previous shoot is still standing and can be used again. The master tapes haven't been sent to the factory, so there won't be any impact. 。If everything goes smoothly, the debut plan made before doesn't need to be changed. 。If things don't go smoothly...then we can only make a delayed decision. 。"Since you put it that way, I feel much better." 。"Kim Yeong-min nodded and continued, "Then what about the team situation Do you need to make a change If that child joins, he'll definitely be assigned to Team K. He can't directly replace M-Team's Woo Seock. We'd have to replace a member from Team K with one from Team M." 。This means that some previously filmed MVs can no longer be used. 。Li Xiuman pondered for a while, as if evaluating the characteristics of the two subunits of this group that was about to debut. After a few minutes, he made a decision: "Let LUHAN be the captain of Team M, and then let Baekhyun join Team M. This way, the strength on both sides can be more balanced." 。As for the MV... since it has to be reshot anyway, these kids will just have to work hard. 。

Lee Hyo-ri puckered her lips and effortlessly solved the problem.

He understands these trainees who are about to debut very well. For them, as long as they can debut, hardship doesn't matter at all. After all, every trainee has gone through this kind of hard work. It's just that it has become even harder, but the essence is the same. 。However, this newly added child immediately entered the debut group upon joining the company, becoming a trainee in preparation for debut. It can be said that they have no experience as a trainee and it is unknown whether they can endure this hardship. 。

I can only hope that his determination will support him.

Lee Xiu-man sends well wishes > 。Kim Young-min nodded and said decisively, "Then it's decided. The child is waiting in the conference room right now. His arrangements from here on..." "I'll take care of that." 。“Li Xiuman readily agreed and picked up the internal phone, saying: 'Have Chikyeongwon from the meeting room and Director Li Chenghuan come to my office.'" 。"With a click, she hung up the phone. Li Xiuman stood up and was about to leave, but after taking just a couple of steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back, saying, “As for Wu Saik...” “Don’t worry, I will handle communication with him.” 。“Kim Young-min smiled and said” 。"Still, we need to be tactful. After all, going from preparing for debut back to being trainees again...it's understandable if their emotions aren't stable. It's best..." Lee Soo-man paused mid-sentence, shrugged her shoulders and whispered, "Forget it, just handle it." 。After finishing her words, Li Xiuman left the president's office and walked toward her own office. 。Kim Young-min picked up the internal phone with ease: "Have Wu Seock of the EXO debut preparation team come to my office." 。This novel is first released on the Traditional Chinese Novel Network.since many people in GOT7 and "Sixteen" knew each other during their trainee days, they had collaborated many times during the monthly exams. Even more so now that they have debuted as seniors, it's...
