Chapitre 12: Recording the clip
" Hey Bob, are you ready to get to work? The copies arrived, stop by the house tonight and pick some up with me. "
" Okay, I'll come by later, remember our contract kid. Don't give up now. "
Yesterday José delivered some copies of "Yeah" to his house, which is why he decided to go out with his friends to celebrate. Now, taking advantage of his free time, he called Bob to warn him.
The copies that José had ordered in advance finally arrived and they intended to give some to Bob to distribute to radio DJs and clubs throughout the Bronx, the rest being shared by himself and his agent.
Hanging up the phone, he had already arrived at his destination, where José was waiting for him at the door. The two greeted each other and headed towards the recording team.
The MV did not have any complex scenes and the parts in which Arthur would participate would only take place at night, so he would not need to be present at other times, but as the clip's scriptwriter they requested his presence, of course, not for free, they were paying 3 thousand dollars for your work.
The initial part of the recording would be done on the street, in an empty area of NY that would allow for uneventful recordings.
As the agent and client duo approached, Ace noticed that he knew two people who were talking to the recording team, one of them was the singer who collaborated with him on the song, Beyoncé, the other was rapper Jay Z.
His gaze didn't linger long on the man, but on the woman. She was going to record the first part of the clip and just like in the original she wore short denim shorts and a white blouse that clung to her body in all the right places, she looked completely wonderful. Taking the breath away from anyone who saw this scene.
Arthur arrived greeting everyone and then walked away to a corner with his agent, he ended up noticing how Jay Z's expression, which was apparently relaxed while greeting him, gave a little falter.
Ace, despite being the clip's screenwriter and his presence being requested throughout the recording process, did not have an active voice in the production, especially because he was still an unknown, this situation led to some differences in the current MV from the original, but nothing blatant. .
The video wasn't very complex and ran uneventfully throughout the day, at night it was time to record Arthur's rap video. At that moment, Arthur, who was already dressed for the video, was waiting for Beyoncé to return, at the top he was shirtless, showing off his muscles and his well-defined abdomen, just with a gold chain with a crucifix pendant around his neck, already at the The rest of the body wore a black Air Force One and baggy black pants. His hair was perfectly cut into a taper fade, like Michael B Jordan's.
" YOU'RE NOT GOING TO RECORD A CLIP WITH HIM DRESSED LIKE THAT! " Suddenly this scream from Jay Z spread throughout the room, this scream came from the trailer used by Beyoncé to change.
Minutes before he had entered the trailer, inside she was sitting in the chair while her makeup was being done and her hair was being done, after a short time after he entered the makeup artist and the hairdresser came out in a hurry and now from the scream it was clear why they had run away .
The entire production team was taken by surprise by the scream but preferred to continue their duties as if nothing had happened. After a few minutes he rushed out of there and walked straight away, clearly stressed about the situation.
Right behind Beyoncé came down too, she stuck to her decision and wore the same outfit as in the video with a scarf hanging over her shoulder, the outfit left very little to the imagination and she looked completely sexy. It was an effort for Ace to look away from her.
"I'm ready, let's start recording."
The recording of the MV took place without any further problems, but the whole strange atmosphere never left the air. Now everyone was gathering their equipment, both Arthur and Beyoncé had already changed their clothes and were talking in a corner.
" Shall we go out again today? " Arthur invited, changing the entire mood of the conversation.
" You don't think you've already caused me enough problems today, do you? " She said, mentioning the most recent problem she had with Jay Z because of him, something that has become quite common since he appeared.
"If it helps with anything, you can tell me that I'm 16 years old."
" hahaha, you seem young, but not that much. You're already an adult, did you forget we went to the club? Lying in these moments will only make the situation worse. "
" HAHAHAHAHAHA " The laughter spread throughout the area leaving her completely confused as to why.
" It's not a lie, I'm really 16. Any teenager in the Bronx has a fake ID to get into clubs. "
Listening to what he said, she started looking him up and down as if she was analyzing whether it was really true and she still didn't believe his words. Only after he showed his identity, this time real, did she believe him.
The two continued talking until she had to leave, he left shortly afterwards on a ride with José.
Arriving home he handed half the copies of his single to Bob. Keeping the other half for yourself.
