"I remember, SM's new boy group seems to be coming out soon, right?"

Probably didn't expect Tian Duomei to ask this question. I saw Heather, who was carefully flipping through the document, paused, and looked up in surprise at her who was holding a cup with a serious look on the opposite side.

"Nei~ I remember it seems to be the 31st~" Xiaoran who was sitting in Heather answered. The little girl was sitting quietly in her seat and writing something, but she was instantly ignited by Tian Duomei's question. With enthusiasm, a pair of eyes brightened for a moment, "I saw their member teaser before, it's so cool!"

The look of the little girl full of interest is really cute, Tian Duomei pursed her lips and chuckled lightly when she saw it, although she was full of kindness and kindness, she still made the little girl hold back a little nervously, which in her opinion was too much The lost enthusiasm returned to the previous quiet appearance.

"Cool? Wow, I heard you say that, I want to see it too, it seems very exciting?"

Seeing Tian Duomi's curious and interested look, the little girl hurriedly opened the teaser video that had been stored on her mobile phone for a while, and presented it to Tian Duomi with both hands.

"President, take a look~"

Kindness is difficult.

Under Heather's indescribable eyes, Tian Duomei smiled and took the mobile phone that the little girl was holding up piously, and carefully looked at the teaser that made her full of praise.

After watching a few videos, Tian Duomi finally understood where the little girl's fanaticism came from. After all, these children are not only good-looking, but also very pleasing to the eye when they dance, so it's no wonder she has such a Attitude, I have to admit, even she looked forward to their performance on the debut stage.

"Well, it's really cool."

Tian Duomei handed back the phone with a smile, and Xiao Ran, who was looking forward to her reaction for a moment, wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Heather, "I'm afraid you are an SM school girl." Come to Xizuo, why are you in the family and fell in love with another boy group? Tsk tsk tsk, what can I say about you!"

Heather's grief-stricken look was so vivid, Xiaoran covered her head in aggrieved manner, dared to be angry but dared not speak, she just lowered her head silently with a bulging face, Tian Duomei was really happy with that pitiful look no.

It is precisely because of this cute little episode that on the day of EXO's debut, Tian Duomi even spared time to watch their showcase.

The format of their debut this time is really special. Not only did they hold their debut showcase in South Korea, but they flew directly to Beijing the next day, and they also held a debut showcase in Beijing, clearly showing that SM wants to use EXO to win the Chinese market. ambition.

Sure enough, SM immediately announced that after EXO, K representing Korean (Korean) and M representing Mandarin (Chinese) will be added to form two groups, EXO-K and EXO-M, to carry out activities in Korea and China respectively.

This is obviously an innovation of the Korean group. Although various entertainment companies are paying more and more attention to the Chinese market, the corresponding measures are only to accept more activities in China. For example, like missA, a few well-known variety shows On the other hand, no matter what kind of concerts, award ceremonies and other activities, there is no such thing as EXO this time, which directly allocates half of the people to let them release Chinese albums and activities in China, but at the same time they do not relax the local market. , leaving the other half to stabilize their positions. If this two-pronged approach is successful, the result will be that EXO has simultaneously opened up the Chinese and Korean markets, which is both risky and worth trying.

The name of the star factory is not groundless, even Tian Duomei has to be amazed by it.

It is worth mentioning that EXO is the same as the senior group SuperJunior, it is a large group with twelve members.This kind of configuration, in Heather's words, is "SM's usual crowd tactics" - "put all kinds of children together, there will always be one you like out of more than ten people, don't worry about the combination popularity".

But this time, in Tian Duomei's view, the twelve people were divided into two teams, and if each team had six people, the number of people was not too many, but it was just right——

The K team is aimed at the Korean market, with Kim Junmyeon as the captain, and there are six members Baekhyun Byeon, Park Chanyeol, DO Do Kyungsoo, Kai Kim Jongin, and Oh Sehun; while the M team for the Chinese market is not like the K team. Those six members are all authentic Koreans, including the captain Kris Wu Yifan and the other three members - Lu Han, Tao Huang Zitao, Lay Zhang Yixing, four of them are Chinese, plus Chen Jin Zhongda and Xiumin and Kim Min-seok, two South Korean members, formed the M team. It was clear that four Chinese members were deliberately included in the group in order to better penetrate the Chinese market.

"But what is the meaning of the name EXO?"

Hearing Tian Duomei's question, Xiao Ran's eyes lit up because she felt like-minded and very close to her recently, and couldn't wait to roll up her sleeves and cracklingly explained to her.

"Actually, the name EXO comes from the word EXOPLANET, which means an outer planet outside the solar system, which implies that they are new stars from an unknown world."

Seeing Xiaoran's familiar appearance, Tian Duomei couldn't laugh or cry, but her response was obviously not important at this time. The little girl who was caught in her own emotions spoke enthusiastically, as if she was vowing to let Tian Duomei After eating her Amway's heart, she praised those twelve people as perfect as angels who fell into the mortal world, and Tian Duomei couldn't help thinking whether she was too tolerant of the employees, so that the girl was so tolerant. Not to mention the fact that the pole climbed up, but now you still want to persuade her to chase other children together? ? ?

"...There is also a setting for superpowers?"

Tian Duomei's succession obviously made Xiaoran more eager, and he gave her the superpower settings of twelve people, ranging from teleportation to controlling light, water, and fire.

Tian Duomei stroked her forehead and replied with a sigh: "This setting is... enough for the second grade..."

"Secondary two! I think it's cool!!!"

The forehead under the fingertips twitched slightly, Tian Duomei chuckled, raised her hand and patted the little girl's shoulder, and stopped her words, "But I think you can come up with even cooler ideas for our new boy group." settings."

Xiaoran stared blankly at Tian Duomei's smiling face.

It was the afternoon when the sun was the brightest, but she smiled like this, which was a bit more dazzling than the sunlight outside the window, and it fascinated her eyes.

What a foul, actually using his face to force people to submit.

Xiao Ran scratched her face shyly, then lowered her head silently, this pair of young daughter-in-law looks completely different from the previous eagerness.

"Finally, you little girl must remember that you are an employee of the family, and you openly praised the other family in front of the president. I think you think your bonus is too much."

Although it was a threatening word, Tian Duomei said it very kindly, and even pinched Xiaoran's face affectionately, but it made the little girl blush.

"Hey, I won't do it again in the future!"

The little girl's expression was so determined that she seemed to want to swear, but Tian Duomei just laughed and thought she was just playing tricks, and didn't think she was really as firm as she appeared on the surface, as if in this short It took off the rice in 5 minutes.

"I will definitely live up to your expectations and come up with a cooler idea for our new boy group!!"

Hearing the little girl's rhetoric, Tian Duomi just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart at all, but Xiaoran really took off her love for EXO in just 5 minutes because of Tian Duomi's smile, and became After all, she has always been just a superficial face control, and she has so many hands and feet that she can't count, and it is common to change her life in minutes. 3 minutes of popularity is too long to describe her, because it is more common to be popular with a smile, so she promised to think of a cooler idea with full sincerity, after all, doing things for idols is very important to her It is the happiest thing in the world.

As for Tian Duomei, who didn't realize that Xiaoran was full of true feelings, she naturally wouldn't have thought that what was waiting for her in a few months was really a boy group from an alien planet, with different superpowers and even more middle school. In addition to her feeling that she was in the second grade, she also received unanimous praise.

Tian Duomi:? ? ?Maybe this is the legendary generation gap? ? ?

====================================================================== =================

There has never been an off-season in the Korean music circle. Every month there is no shortage of new groups debuting one after another, and old groups returning one after another, and it is no different at this time.

4月4日，4MINUTE公开第三张迷你专辑成员预告照。随后的几天又陆续公开了专辑的音乐影像预告，最后于4月9日正式发行了其第三张迷你专辑《VolumeUp》。

Although the unglamorous 4MINUTE was also popular for a while, but with the renewal of the girl group, the popularity gradually declined. Now the group is only supported by the popular leader Nam Ji-hyun and lead singer Xu Jiayun, but this time it is not satisfactory The album sales and music source rankings have once again proved this point.

While 4minute was in such an embarrassing situation, MBK, who has always been tossing around, seemed unwilling to be lonely, and announced again that T-ara would add two new members, Li Yalin and Danee, from a 6-member group to an 8-member group. , causing an uproar for a while.
