Chapter 498: The First Step of Reform
I have to say that Kiyoshi Sakamoto's talent for speech may be innate.
As long as he speaks, people will unconsciously concentrate and listen to him quietly.
Even, in many cases, as long as you hear his extremely incendiary words, people's emotions will change with the change of his tone.
Just like now.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto on the podium was talking.
And everyone sitting in the conference room also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
"First of all, of course, our SMA is the proudest newcomer selection channel, the SMA Audition Meeting!"
However, when Sakamoto Kiyoshi said the words "proud", everyone heard it from it, and there was a thick ridicule.
"I don't deny that this is an important means for SMA to select potential newcomers to enter the company. ”
"But!"
"Compared with other large firms in the industry, our reputation at SMA is not enough for us to attract more potential new stars!"
In the final analysis, it's because the SMA temple is too small.
After all, SMA's parent company is SMEJ, which focuses on music.
SMA, who is a musician, is still inexperienced and not very proficient in film and television.
Even if,SMA came up with a Sakamoto Kiyoshi。。。
Moreover, strictly speaking, the reason why Kiyoshi Sakamoto was able to become the first brother of SMA in just a few years is because SMA really has no commendable artists, but also because of his great achievements in the music scene.
and not the impact in the film and television industry.
Therefore, in the past few years, SMA's selection meetings could only be held after the auditions of other large brokerage firms.
It's to avoid falling into, and with Janiss, Yanyin, HORIPRO, Stardust and other large firms, to snatch the embarrassing situation of newcomers...
Because, you can't rob them at all...
However, in this way, the selection meeting of SMA can only select some "inferior products" that have been eliminated by large firms.
Although, Kiyoshi Sakamoto can use his future memories to sign some future stars into SMA in advance.
Just like Noh Nian Rena and Sugata Masaki.
There's also a volatile channel: SMA's scouting.
Under the effect of Kiyoshi Sakamoto's butterfly, the two future stars of Kento Yamazaki and Nana Komatsu were excavated.
However, such a pool of newcomers is still weak compared to Amuse, Stardust, HORIPRO and other firms.
A steady stream of outstanding newcomers is the foundation that makes the brokerage firm prosperous!
This is also why, after Kiyoshi Sakamoto became the owner of SMA operation, the first thing to carry out reforms was the reason for the selection meeting...
Only by steadily recruiting excellent and potential newcomers can the name of SMA gradually become louder in the industry.
"So, in the new business plan, I plan to reform the SMA's annual selection meeting. Sakamoto Kiyoshi moved his fingers, and the PPT on the screen continued to change, entering the relevant page of the "SMA Audition".
"First of all, in order to let more people know about our SMA audition, we can set the time of the audition meeting from February to April every year. ”
"This time period happens to be the season when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and the increase in outdoor activities leads to the maximization of our means of publicity... ”
Advertisements, the Internet, newspapers and magazines, and flyers can all be used as publicity channels for the selection meeting.
When the overwhelming news of the "SMA audition" bombarded the public, Kiyoshi Sakamoto didn't believe that those young people who longed for the entertainment industry would not be moved...
Kiyoshi Sakamoto's words, combined with the PPT on the screen, were easy to understand, and even the heads of some departments, as well as the operation members, took out small notebooks and began to record.
"Also, in order to make young people from all over the country rush to sign up for the SMA audition, I decided to replace the judges of the audition with national artists who are loved by different age groups. ”
"Masaharu Fukuyama!"
"Takuya Kimura!"
"And... Me!"
“!!!”
Unexpected candidates, no... It was a bold candidate, and it suddenly made the participants in the entire conference room show shocked expressions.
Kiyoshi Sakamoto, as a judge, is still understandable.
After all, as the first brother of SMA and the new director of operations of SMA, he has many experience as judges, and it is normal for him to occupy a judge's seat.
As for Masaharu Fukuyama, with his master-apprentice relationship with Kiyoshi Sakamoto, it is not too difficult to invite him to be a judge.
But, Takuya Kimura?
It's more difficult to invite this candidate...
Not to mention the relationship between Kiyoshi Sakamoto and Takuya Kimura, not as close as he is with Masaharu Fukuyama, just taking the urine of Genesys as an example, this invitation is a bit unreliable.
After all, Genesys has always been a company that plays behind closed doors.
Let their superstar Takuya Kimura come over to help SMA turn the table and recruit new people?
This is equivalent to making Takuya Kimura smile and say to young people all over the country, "SMA is good, come and join!"
Genesy and SMA are both competitors of brokerage firms...
Isn't this funding the enemy?!
Therefore, the difficulty is still relatively large.
However, it seemed that he saw the embarrassment on everyone's faces, raised his head slightly, and the corners of Sakamoto Kiyoshi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"As for the judges, you don't have to worry, I'll take care of it. Kiyoshi Sakamoto patted his chest and promised, "Within two days, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
"As for the rest, I'll leave it to you. ”
"Propaganda Department!" Sakamoto Kiyoshi suddenly shouted.
And the director of the Propaganda Department also subconsciously replied: "Yes!"
"I don't care what you do. ”
"A week later!"
"I want to see that the news of the SMA audition national audition, as well as the three of us serving as judges for the audition, is spread all over Japan!"
"Is there a problem?"
Looking at Kiyoshi Sakamoto's condescending and sharp eyes, the director of the Propaganda Department could not have the courage to disobey the order.
"No problem!"
"That's good. After nodding slightly, Kiyoshi Sakamoto continued to arrange, "Public Relations Department, your task is to cooperate with the work of the Propaganda Department, and take advantage of the opportunity that the public's attention is now focused on Sony, and let more people know the news of the selection meeting." ”
"Got it?"
"Yes!"
"Alright, then, let's move on... ”
Standing on the podium, Kiyoshi Sakamoto, who was seriously presiding over the meeting, did not know that all his strong actions were to impress the senior management of various departments of SMA.
In their eyes, the young man standing on the podium and talking eloquently does not feel like a 19-year-old immature minor, but more like a superior who has been immersed in the company's management for many years!
Although, his face looks like his own son, too young...
