industry. His family was also his competitive capital. 。Of course, Chi Jingyuan has no feelings for Wu Saik, but I estimate that Wu Saik probably wants to shoot him with a shotgun ten clips. 。I won’...Walking into the practice room was Lee Soo-man, followed by his managers, including Lee Cheng-hwan and Lim Hyeon-jun.

It's almost eleven o'clock, it's getting late. I didn't expect Li Xiuman to suddenly show up at this time with people.

After Li Xiuman entered the room, he looked at EXO bowing and greeting him with a kind smile. He seemed like a benevolent figure, almost like a kindhearted Buddha of Maitreya wearing spectacles.

As Li Xiuman gets older, her once rather fiery temper has mellowed quite a bit.

It is said that at the beginning of the century, he would often personally discipline trainees and artists, but in recent years, there has been no such news at all.

Facing the company's newest rising pillar, Lee Soo-man was truly very satisfied. He smiled and walked past the members, patting each person on the shoulder in turn, then stood in the middle and began to speak:

"Although the schedule is very tight, you still need to pay attention to taking care of your body. If you feel unwell, be sure to communicate with your manager."

“…………”

"I have some good news for you all. XO has brought in very impressive revenue for the company, and the next round of payouts will definitely make you happy."

“…………“

“Children, you've all been working really hard lately. The company has seen your determination and encourages you to keep it up! The company will increase its investment in XO and won't let down your hard work. Keep going to become the TOP Stars of the peninsula!”

"Hello!"

As Lee Hwa-man finished speaking, the members bowed again and thanked her loudly, looking as if they were devoting themselves to the company.

Facial expression management isn't just about using it in front of the camera, it's a skill that applies to everyday life.

"That's good, the MAMA stage in a few days is important, the whole world is watching, keep practicing... Jingyuan, come with me for a bit."

Lee Soo Man came this time specifically to visit and encourage the EXO members who had just won a major award. He said a few more comforting and encouraging words and ended this meeting, the whole process was only a few minutes long. Before leaving, he shouted something to Ji Kyung Won.

"Yes," Chi Jingyuan replied immediately, and under the gazes of others, he quickly followed her.

"Kids, time's running out, let's keep practicing..." Watching the two walk in and out of the practice room one after another, Lee Seong-hwan clapped his hands and began to urge the members to continue practicing.

Soon, a new arrangement of "Roar" specially created for the MAMA stage choreography echoed again in the practice room.

…………

"Jingyuan, you've been very busy lately, haven't you" Li Xiuman walked ahead, occasionally smiling back at Ji Jingyuan and taking the initiative to greet him.

"We're really busy, our schedules are packed every day. We haven't had much of a break since "Roar," Show Man Teacher, when can you give us a vacation"

Qi Jingyuan nodded, looking utterly exhausted. He even grumbled with a frown at the end.

"Haha..."

Lee Hyo-ri not only didn't get angry, but also laughed heartily. She was very satisfied with Ji Kyung-won's friendly and approachable attitude. Thinking about EXO's recent situation, she couldn't help but sigh:

“If we're going on vacation, it might have to wait until the end of the year. That's just how it goes for popular artists like us. Honestly, even the company didn't expect 'Roar' to be this successful. EXO's popularity is amazing and a real surprise! Kyungsoo, your song is truly fantastic.”

"Although I felt the demo was going to be a hit when I first heard it, I didn't expect it would be such a huge success that you would win the grand prize."

As he spoke, he stepped out of the elevator and a few steps later entered Lee Soo-man's luxurious and spacious office.

He waved casually, gesturing for Chi Jingyuan to sit. Then he walked over to the coffee machine himself, poured a cup of coffee, and smiled as he handed it to Chi Jingyuan.

"Goodbye."

Chi Jingyuan, who had just sat down, immediately stood up to greet and receive it before sitting back down.

This scene basically happens every time Chi Jingyuan comes to Li Xiuman's office. One is amiable and approachable, the other surprised and delighted. The two work together very well.

Lee Soo-man smiled with narrowed eyes as she watched Ji Sung-won sip his coffee a few times before putting down the cup. She then inquired about EXO and Ji Sung-won's latest updates, exchanged some pleasantries, and finally got to the point:

"Jingyuan, your performance in "The Heirs" is really popular lately. It's the highest-rated drama of its time on the peninsula, and the buzz and heat are amazing! Kim Tan has become a classic character."

"And my friends at the TV station told me that this drama really made SBS a good profit…"

"It's all thanks to director Kim Sang-hyeok and writer Kim Eun-sook, as well as the hard work of everyone on the crew and the actors. I've just borrowed some light."

Chi Jingyuan smiled shyly.

"You..."

Li Xiuman wouldn't fall for this. He already knew the other person well.

He smiled and shook his head, asking, “Has the crew announced when filming will officially wrap up”

"There's no official announcement yet, but the director mentioned it before. Judging by our current progress, we're probably going to wrap up around a week before the final episode airs."

Chi Jingyuan pondered for a moment and after answering, asked: "Teacher Xiuman, are there any schedules that require my participation"

This kind of "shoot-and-air" production model for Peninsula TV dramas means that enough footage needs to be shot every week to ensure the next week's broadcast. This basically locks actors onto the filming location, except in case of urgent matters that allow a short day off. Otherwise, they can't leave for an extended period.

Li Xiuman must have made arrangements for Ji Jingyuan with this question.

"Nei, Jingyuan, you've been filming in Seoul for a while now, and I guess you haven't been paying close attention. You probably don't know how popular you are in Asia right now."

Lee Soo-man looked at Ji Chang-wook's eyes as if they were a sparkling diamond, with a hint of surprise in his voice that was rarely seen before.

Since the broadcasting rights of "The Heirs" were sold to TV stations in multiple countries and aired across Asia, the drama has become a hot topic in many countries, particularly in Xia Guo and several Southeast Asian nations. The popularity of the male lead, Kim Tan, has reached insane levels...

"The company has received many invitations from China and Southeast Asia regarding you, including performances, meet-and-greets, attending booths, and even advertising. The offered fees are all astonishing, reaching numbers that are difficult to achieve on the peninsula."

"Jin Tan over there is really on fire, many partners from Xia Guo who have always had a close relationship with the company have all sent you cooperation requests. They are very eager for Jingyuan to go to Xia Guo for activities soon, and their attitude is very sincere, and their offers are unimaginable."

Li Xiuman introduced the situation and then pushed up her glasses, uttering a sigh of sentiment.

"Compared to music, TV dramas are definitely easier to enter other countries' markets..."
