章 10: Revolutionising Streaming
By the time Quincy was eleven years old, he had already established himself as a rising star in Hollywood and a young visionary with Atlas Studios. But as he sat in his office, reflecting on the future of entertainment, he knew there was more to conquer. Streaming was the future, and Quincy was determined to be at the forefront of the revolution.
The idea of streaming content over the internet was still in its infancy in the early 2000s. Traditional studios and networks were only beginning to experiment with the concept, but Quincy had a head start. With his knowledge of platforms like Netflix and Hulu, he knew exactly where the industry was headed. He wouldn't be content with simply producing films; he would create the platforms where those films were consumed.
Quincy's first step was simple: establish a tech division under Atlas Studios that would focus exclusively on digital media and online content distribution. He hired some of the best minds in Silicon Valley, individuals with experience in web development and data architecture. By keeping his team small and discreet, Quincy ensured that Atlas Studios remained under the radar while they built the infrastructure for what would become a streaming empire.
The key to success, as Quincy saw it, was timing. He couldn't launch too early—there were still too many technological limitations, and internet speeds weren't yet optimized for the kind of video streaming he envisioned. But Quincy planned ahead. He set 2007 as his target year, knowing that broadband would become more widespread by then, making streaming services viable on a global scale.
Quincy christened the project StreamVue—a digital streaming platform that would offer films, television shows, and original content, all available on demand. His goal was not just to rival Netflix and Hulu, but to be better than them—to anticipate the needs of consumers before they even realized what those needs were.
To begin, Quincy needed content. He wasn't going to build a platform from scratch without a solid library of films and shows to offer subscribers. Fortunately, he had Atlas Studios as a foundation, but that wasn't enough. Quincy decided to strike deals with other production companies, acquiring the streaming rights to classic films and future releases that he knew would be popular in the coming years.
It was a delicate dance. Quincy couldn't reveal the full extent of his plans to anyone—if the major studios knew what he was planning, they might rush to create their own platforms. Instead, Quincy approached these companies under the guise of securing streaming rights for Atlas Studios' "experimental" distribution network. He pitched it as a side project—one that wouldn't interfere with traditional distribution channels, like theatre releases or cable television. The studios agreed, not realizing they were handing Quincy the keys to the future of entertainment.
By late 2006, StreamVue was ready to launch. Quincy had amassed a collection of films and television shows, secured partnerships with several production companies, and built a sleek, user-friendly platform. Now, he just needed to make the world aware of it.
He turned to his most valuable assets: his parents.
Michael Jackson, despite his reclusive nature, still commanded immense global influence. His mother, Lisa Marie Presley, was also a powerful figure in entertainment. With their help, Quincy began promoting StreamVue through their connections. A carefully orchestrated marketing campaign targeted both mainstream media and online platforms, creating buzz among early adopters of technology.
Celebrities began promoting StreamVue, praising it as the future of content consumption. Influential names from Michael Jackson's circle—such as Quincy Jones, Elizabeth Taylor, and even Oprah Winfrey—spoke about the platform on talk shows and interviews, driving public interest to a fever pitch.
January 2007 marked the official launch of StreamVue. To Quincy's satisfaction, the platform was an instant success. Thousands of users signed up within the first few days, eager to explore the library of films and television shows available at their fingertips. The early user base consisted of tech enthusiasts and entertainment buffs, but Quincy knew that it was only a matter of time before StreamVue would go mainstream.
He was prepared for that shift.
In the coming months, Quincy began producing original content specifically for StreamVue. With his experience in both acting and production, he had the insight to develop shows and films that catered to the platform's audience. Drawing from his future knowledge, he greenlit projects that would become huge hits, such as Breaking Bad and Mad Men. While those series wouldn't launch until 2008 and 2007 respectively, Quincy made sure they were developed under his banner, giving StreamVue exclusive streaming rights.
With original content on the rise and more users subscribing every day, StreamVue was poised to become the dominant player in the streaming space. Quincy's combination of foresight, strategic alliances, and tech innovations had created something revolutionary, and the industry was starting to take notice.
One night, as Quincy sat in his office reviewing the day's performance metrics, his mother knocked on the door.
"You've been busy," Lisa Marie said, smiling warmly. "StreamVue is doing even better than you said it would."
Quincy nodded, a satisfied smile on his face. "It's only the beginning."
Lisa Marie sat across from him, her expression thoughtful. "I'm proud of what you've built, Quincy. But I also know that you're aiming for more. You always are."
Quincy met her gaze. "I want this platform to change everything. I want it to be the place where people come not just for movies, but for everything—music, shows, live events. The world's going to be connected in ways we can't even imagine right now."
His mother regarded him for a moment. "And what about you? Where do you fit in this world you're building?"
Quincy's expression softened. "I'm going to be part of it—every part of it. But I'll do it on my terms. I've learned from the mistakes of the past."
Lisa Marie smiled, leaning forward to kiss her son's forehead. "Just make sure you don't forget to live, too."
With StreamVue now established, Quincy turned his attention to his next ambition: expanding its reach into music. He knew that streaming music was going to become just as big as streaming films, and he wasn't about to let platforms like Spotify beat him to it.
In his mind, Quincy envisioned StreamVue becoming a multi-platform empire—one that offered everything, from film to television to music, under one seamless interface. He was already in talks with major record labels, offering them deals for exclusive streaming rights to their music libraries, but Quincy wasn't interested in just the past. He wanted the future stars—artists who hadn't yet risen to fame but would dominate the charts in years to come.
Quincy's relentless pursuit of the next big thing meant securing the likes of Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Drake for early partnerships with StreamVue's future music division. These deals would cement StreamVue as not just a platform for watching content but for experiencing all forms of entertainment in one place.
By 2009, StreamVue was flourishing, and Quincy's empire was well underway. The platform had millions of subscribers, with more joining every day as it expanded into international markets. Quincy had disrupted the industry in ways that even he hadn't fully predicted, but he was always thinking two steps ahead. His vision of a united entertainment platform—films, shows, music, and live events—was on the verge of becoming a reality.
As Quincy looked at the empire he was building, one thought kept surfacing: this was only the beginning. The world wasn't ready for what was coming next, but Quincy was.
He always was.
