Chapter 131 The gathering place of formidable people
On the internet, Paul's first post garnered significant attention.
[Is the Creator going to make music?]
[Great, I support it!]
[That's really good news!]
[Music that matches the mood of the chat? Sounds amazing!]
[There are only 23 hours left before releasing, right? I can't wait!]
[I can't wait for it as well!]
While they were excited about the oncoming music app, another post from Paul was released.
[Paul Three: Music belongs to the public. In order to serve the public, I am here to seek music submissions, regardless of age, nationality, or gender!]
When Paul's second post on the Gemini app was released, people were a bit puzzled.
[What is Paul Three doing? Collecting music?]
[No way, don't they have music storage?]
[This is unexpected!]
[As powerful as the Gemini app is, it can't create music!]
However, some people fell silent when they saw Paul Three's post seeking music submissions.
They were music enthusiasts or, rather, unsuccessful musicians. They had work but no popularity, no support, and no contracts. The music they sang and listened to was a so-called 'very niche' genre, appreciated only by a few, highbrow, and hard to please.
To them, music was a world, their own world. They believed music was a very personal thing. The tunes were what they wanted to compose, the lyrics were what they wanted to say, and the songs were what they wanted to sing. They never thought about pleasing others.
To these people, the Gemini app platform was very good. It could really find kindred spirits; indeed, it was magical. But in a lifetime, one might only find two or three true friends. They didn't think many people could hear their music besides those kindred spirits.
In an instant, they felt the urge to submit their works to the Gemini app. But the next moment, they lowered their arms.
'My music probably won't be liked by others. I'm different from everyone else, and my songs carry too much emotion. Not as palatable as pop songs,' they thought.
Recalling the countless times they were rejected by music platforms, even having their scores thrown in their faces by so-called famous musicians, and singing alone in underground tunnels in the cold wind with no audience, they thought it was better to forget it. No need to humiliate themselves. They'd keep singing the songs to themselves. The singers, immersed in self-doubt, gave a bitter smile.
But suddenly, they noticed a piece of news that quickly shot to the top of the headlines and became immensely popular.
[God of Song Paul White TikTok Update!]
In the video, it was still the back of a person in a white shirt. He sat in front of a piano, fingers deftly playing an unknown piano piece, ethereal and serene. He didn’t sing but softly narrated a story.
"I am Paul. I’ve listened to many songs, countless stars, and famous musicians. But what moved me the most was an accidental opportunity in a bar after midnight when it was already empty. There was no audience. A down-and-out bar singer, holding a worn-out acoustic guitar, sang his own song passionately on a dimly lit stage."
As Paul said this, he recalled a night two years ago when he endured pain working part-time as a waiter in a bar. He smiled gently.
"It was that song that moved me to tears. He was unknown, but I saw an unyielding soul. It was a kind of stubbornness, a kind of loneliness. At the lowest point of my life, I deeply understood helplessness.
"Like seeing a lone star shining in the lonely night sky. The room was very quiet at the time, and all I could hear was that one sound because it resonated with my heart.
"I believe there are countless singers with voices that can shake the soul still in slumber. I feel very fortunate because they are like treasures. When the day comes that they are discovered, people can be happy and touched countless times. I believe your voices are not unheard, but they haven't found the right stage.
"To those singing in bars at night for blurry-eyed audiences, to those singing in squares for hurried passersby, to those singing in live streams for just a few virtual avatars, show your attitude. Sing bravely for everyone to hear! Don't be afraid, those who are most sincere will always receive applause!"
At this point, the piano music slowly stopped. He stood up straight, raising his voice a bit.
"Speaking of a stage for singers, I do have a good place. Today, I officially announce here that I, along with my two music works, 'Imagine' and 'I am what I am', officially signed with Gemini app Music!"
