Newspapers and magazines, Internet, TV commercials, LED billboards...

The overwhelming propaganda was like a sudden tornado, bringing a bombshell news to the whole of Japan.

"SMA Audition, Upcoming !!"

As an audition event held in previous years, SMA did not have much of an impact.

After all, compared to SMEJ, SMA's name is a bit too small...

However, this time it was different!

The huge propaganda made the whole of Japan occupy by the "SMA Selection Conference" in just a few days!

Not only that, but this SMA selection meeting is a little different from previous auditions.

That is, the judges!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto, Masaharu Fukuyama, and Takuya Kimura are the national male god jury lineup, and once this news is exposed, it is like an atomic bomb, in the whole of Japan, exploded!

Astound!

In addition to shock, the public could no longer find any other adjectives to describe how unbelievable the judges of this audition were...

Many fans exclaimed, "I can't imagine that in my lifetime, I can still see Takuya Kimura and Masaharu Fukuyama as judges together!!"

Especially the promotional video that was played on a loop made the public talk about it.

Although there are not many lines in the film, just a few words made the boys and girls who saw this promotional video wake up again, and the star dream in their hearts is about to move!

Countless young men and women across the country have learned through promotional videos, posters, the Internet, newspapers and magazines that this is an opportunity that may change their lives!

Because there are two ways to register.

One is to send your resume with your basic information to SMA.

The other is to register online on the SMA website.

As a result, young people with dreams of stardom from all over the country have sent SMA resumes with video and audio, as well as printed photos.

A resume, carrying the dreams in my heart, continues to fly to SMA.

Or click on SMA's official website to register...

And after several days of propaganda bombardment, on February 7th, the first SMA selection meeting hosted by Kiyoshi Sakamoto officially began!

The first thing is, of course, the first round of selection, that is, the audition stage!

Kiyoshi Sakamoto's vision for this selection meeting is not limited to any other thresholds except for the age limit, which stipulates that it is not more than 20 years old.

There is no restriction on gender, height, or occupation.

Whether it is a girl who intends to become a singer and sing on a stage that attracts thousands of people, or a teenager who intends to become an actor and plays an acting role in major film and television works, you can sign up for this audition!

As long as you feel that you have the characteristics that can shine in this entertainment industry, you can sign up for the audition!

It is precisely because of the extremely low selection threshold that SMA received nearly 10,000 resumes in just a few days!

SMA's official website server and email address were overwhelmed by the influx of applications and resumes in a few days!

Thankfully, this is Sony!

In a short period of time, the selection meeting was well known, and it is conceivable that Sony's huge mobilization power and influence in Japan ...

The scale of this selection meeting is much larger than that of previous annual selection meetings.

In fact, the preparation and organization of the selection meeting is not too difficult.

The main work in the selection stage is too heavy!

The extremely low threshold has brought a large number of applicants.

Judging from the fact that nearly 10,000 resumes have been received in just a few days, it can be predicted that after the end of the one-month registration period, the final number of applicants will definitely be no less than 80,000!

80,000 !!

With such a large number of people, it takes a lot of effort to really select a suitable newcomer to join SMA.

After all, anyone can participate in the audition, and the selection method of this audition must not be like the AKB selection back then, where you can make a decision just by looking at your appearance.

Participants who volunteer to become actors, in addition to looking at his (her) appearance, also have to watch the video he sent to see if he has acting talent...

Participants who volunteer to become singers should listen to the audio they send to confirm whether the singing is beautiful and has the potential for development...

However, it takes a lot of time to watch every video or audio, and it's not like a judge, sitting there, just looking at the photos, and deciding to make a decision.

As a result, for the sake of efficiency, the workload of the selectors in charge of the audition will inevitably increase dramatically!

For this reason, Sakamoto Kiyoshi was still worried about whether this selection meeting, the group of people under him, would not be too busy.

However, he was wrong.

In fact, it is not difficult to carry out such a large-scale selection meeting, on the contrary, it is relatively easy.

Because, as long as there are huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources, the selection meeting can be made beautiful.

It just so happens that Sony is such a company.

As a giant record company in the industry, SMEJ's subsidiary's financial strength is second to none in Sony, which is in the midst of a financial crisis, second only to the electronic entertainment division, which has the largest revenue...

Manpower?

With more than 10,000 employees, is it enough?!

Material resources?

The entire SMEJ and the relevant departments of SMA, all the resources are arbitrarily deployed, is it enough?!

Financial resources?

With an annual income of more than 60 billion, is it enough?!

Moreover, selection is not everything, after recruiting new people, it is the real beginning.

How to train new people is the most important thing!

The equipment and vocal teachers needed to train singers don't need SMA to come out, just throw these people to SMEJ.

That's the music professionals over there...

And this audition, the main purpose of Kiyoshi Sakamoto is to find a group of future stars who intend to become actors.

As for the acting teachers and training opportunities needed to train actors, SMA is not absent, but there are not too many.

After all, there were three or two kittens in the past, and they didn't need so many acting teachers and film and television resources, and they were basically enough.

In fact, these hardware and software, as long as they are smashed with money, can be put in place immediately.

Who made Sony rich and connected?!

SORRY, YOU CAN REALLY DO WHATEVER YOU WANT WITH MONEY!

What's more, there are huge connections...

And after learning that Kiyoshi Sakamoto took office, he immediately came up with such a large-scale operation plan, and the SMEJ board of directors headed by Naoki Kitagawa immediately discovered the benefits of this plan!

This may be a big event that stirs up the entire entertainment industry, and it can even make the reputation of Sony Music rise fiercely!

After discussion, the entire huge SMEJ Group decided to implement this audition meeting as the first large-scale project of SMEJ in 2009!

Therefore, SMA, which has received the support of the entire SMEJ Group, started with ease, and this audition will affect the attention of the entire entertainment industry!
