Chapter 132 Music material
Paul was dazzling.
The video of his performance rocketed to the top of trending searches, racking up over a billion views practically overnight. He was a phenomenon, a true singing god who had risen from obscurity.
Every note he sang, every word he spoke, resonated with billions. Paul was the embodiment of raw talent and relentless effort, an inspiration to dreamers everywhere.
With Paul leading the charge, a fire ignited in the hearts of aspiring singers across the Veridiania. Those who had been content to toil in obscurity, their talents hidden in the shadows, suddenly felt a surge of hope. They remembered the dreams they had tucked away, the songs they yearned to share with the world.
In dimly lit bars and quiet bedrooms, singers dusted off forgotten USB drives filled with years of original music. They flocked to recording studios, eager to capture the melodies that had lived in their hearts for so long. The word spread like wildfire: Gemini app was looking for talent, and opportunity awaited.
Veridiania, a treasure trove of musical talent, was about to reveal its hidden gems. At the heart of this musical revolution was Alvin, the man behind the curtain at Creator. He watched in awe as the 'Music Master' backend lit up with a flood of new submissions, each one a testament to the untapped potential of Veridiania's music scene.
The notification chime became a steady rhythm, each ping representing another dream seeking an audience. Within minutes, the number of submissions soared past a thousand, then ten thousand, and kept climbing. Alvin was floored by the sheer volume but even more so by the power of the "Music Master" program.
It analyzed each submission with remarkable speed and precision, checking for duplicates, assessing quality, assigning scores, categorizing genres, and even offering constructive feedback to those whose work wasn't quite ready for prime time. Every interaction, even the rejections, was infused with encouragement, ensuring that no one walked away feeling disheartened.
In just thirty minutes, the Gemini app's signed works library had swelled to over 5,000 tracks. Intrigued, Alvin sampled some of the highest-rated songs. He was met with a wave of emotions: the delicate beauty of an acoustic ballad, the raw energy of a rock anthem, the soulful yearning of a bluesy lament. Each song was a world unto itself, a testament to the incredible diversity of talent hidden within Veridiania.
Even Alvin, with his untrained ear, could tell that many of these songs had the potential to be national hits. Excitement bubbled up inside him, mixed with a healthy dose of awe.
He knew the whole thing was Elbert's masterstroke, the trump card that could reshape the music industry.
''Music Master' wasn't just a program; it was a movement, a platform for the unheard voices of a nation to be heard finally,' he pondered, and a smile appeared on his face.
'Elbert's methods are a mystery, his influence seemingly boundless. If he wanted to keep his secrets, I would respect that. Right now, there is work to be done,' he thought to himself.
After giving his team instructions to keep the momentum going, Alvin grabbed his phone and headed out. Elbert had called with a new task, and Alvin had a feeling it was going to be interesting.
Meanwhile, high above the city, in the luxurious confines of the Wavehaven Tranquil Haven Resort, a different kind of meeting was taking place. Cassius, the Vice President of Meta Platforms Company, sat with the heads of three other major online music platforms. They were rivals, but today, they were united by a common enemy: Gemini app.
"Gentlemen," Cassius began, his voice smooth but laced with steel. "We all know the threat Gemini app poses. They're coming for our market share, and they're not playing around." He met each of their gazes in turn. "We need to present a united front, crush them before they gain a foothold."
The others, hesitant at first, eventually nodded their agreement. The fear of Gemini app's disruptive potential outweighed their usual competitiveness. They knew what was at stake: their livelihoods, their empires. This was war, and only one could emerge victorious.
Cassius outlined his plan, a ruthless strategy of watchful waiting. They would allow Gemini app to amass a library of infringing content, then strike with a wave of lawsuits, crippling them with legal fees and bad press.
"A thousand songs," Cassius declared, raising his glass. "Once they've infringed on a thousand songs, and we each have a strong case, we'll unleash hell."
The others, their faces grim but resolute, raised their glasses in unison. But before they could seal their pact, a sharp knock echoed through the room. Annoyance flickered across Cassius's face. Who would dare interrupt them at this crucial moment?
The door swung open, revealing a uniformed officer. His gaze swept over the room, finally settling on Cassius. "Mr. Cassius Greene of Meta Platforms Company?"
"Yes, that's me," Cassius replied, a flicker of unease stirring within him.
"You're being served," the officer stated, holding out a court summons. "Meta Platforms Company Music is being sued for copyright infringement."
Cassius's jaw dropped. "That's impossible! We have all the necessary licenses!"
"Not for Paul's music, you don't," the officer countered. "He signed with Gemini app Music half an hour ago, and you're still hosting two of his songs without permission. Creator Company is suing you for all you're worth."
The blood drained from Cassius's face as the reality of the situation sunk in. He had walked right into their trap. Before he could collect himself, a swarm of reporters burst into the room, cameras flashing, microphones thrust in his face.
"Mr. Greene, care to comment on your company's blatant disregard for copyright law?"
"Was this infringement sanctioned by you, Mr. Greene?"
Cassius stood there, speechless and bewildered, the camera shutters capturing every nuance of his shock and dismay. The hunter had become the hunted.
