Chương 17: Celebration
Beyoncé answered 2 more questions about the album before ending the press conference. The questions had already been agreed with these reporters previously, otherwise no reporter would choose to ask about the album in the face of this controversy.
Beyoncé had already participated in one of the films produced by MTV, which helped her to have good relations with the network, of course this good reputation did not prevent them from publishing news about her, but it helped when she needed to show her version of the facts. and this was one of those moments.
"Hey Arthur. Beyonce shouted from behind, causing him to turn to look at her.
"I owe you one, thank you very much. Be careful with Jay Z! "
"You don't need to worry about me, you only helped my career. I'm the one disturbing you. See you later Beyoncé. " Waving Ace walked back home with his agent, the sun was already setting when they left there, showing the time they spent resolving this whole situation.
This whole situation was the controversy of the song of the week, Beyoncé's name was on the cover of everything magazine, consequently Ace and Jay Z's followed her in this trend. During the week, at the same time as she tried to completely clear her name of this controversy, she promoted her debut album. It was very important for the future of her career to carry out this cleaning, it would be difficult for a female artist to survive in the industry if the accusations were confirmed.
In the same way that among the Pop music audience and teenagers the focus was on Beyoncé's love scandal, among the Rap, R&B audience and especially the black population the attention was on the fight between Jay Z and Ace.
The Rap public loved these fights between artists, they understood this as a fundamental part of the culture. It helped to move the entire Rap scene.
This was the subject throughout this week, but soon a new controversy would emerge that would divert public attention, as always happens.
Arthur continued to have to answer questions about Jay Z and Beyoncé during this period. All this controversy he hoped would at least increase the sales of his music in that first week.
—------------------
It was Saturday, February 8th, around 11:00 a.m. the call from her agent came.
"Hey Arthur, the sales report for your single for this first week just arrived. We sold more than 80 thousand copies man. You released a hit, the money is paid monthly so it will take a while to receive the money, but you have just taken the first step in your career Arthur. "
"Don't call me anymore today José, today I just want to drink to celebrate hahaha. Actually, what do you think about going out for a drink today? Me, you and some friends of mine. "
"I'm a little old for these things, Arthur, but we Latinos don't turn down a party. I know some good places where even celebrities appear, age is not a problem, let's enjoy the night Ace. "
Arthur quickly called his friends, Jaime and Jessie and arranged to leave around 8:00 p.m.
The day passed quickly, recently it was rare for Arthur to have such a peaceful day.
It was already 8:15 p.m. when José arrived at Arthur's door by car, Jessie and Jaime were already at his house just to make it easier, since they were all going together.
José was going to take them to Terminal 5, a club that had recently opened in New York, but which was already a certain success in the city and was often attended by famous people at the club.
When they arrived at the place, José found a way for them to skip the line to enter, inside there was already an intoxicating atmosphere. With lights and smoke all over the place and hundreds of young people dancing on the dance floor.
Although the place is normally for live music, today there would only be one DJ on site. The four quickly went to the bar in search of some alcohol that would allow them to get in the mood for the atmosphere.
This is how the night began, they laughed and played among themselves, despite José's age being a little different from the others, this was not a problem for them and they quickly got closer and formed a light friendship, with Arthur as a bridge.
The whole group, when their glasses weren't full, were dancing, Arthur and Jessie were dancing as a couple and the other two had found other girls to dance with.
It was already approximately 00:00 a.m., they were talking and laughing at Jaime's "innovative" dance moves who were standing out on the dance floor.
"Hey guys, I'd like to propose a toast to Ace's success, this is just the beginning! "
"Yes, yes, remember your best friend in the future Ace. I'll continue to follow you, man, I even work security for you. "
"Remember your friend too. Who knows, you might not need a smart and beautiful secretary by your side. " Even Jessie, who was initially somewhat skeptical of her success, made a rare joke about it.
They then toasted and José took the lead to speak again.
"One more thing guys, I didn't bring you here by chance. In fact, I got Ace to sing his song here today. "
With his words, the smiles that were already on everyone's faces widened even further with shouts of celebration appearing among them.
"Hey man, this is fucking awesome. Will I sing just one song? What time will it be? "
Arthur was the first to ask, clearly because he was the most affected in this situation.
"Just follow me. "
José then left followed by the young people towards a door close to the central stage, with two security guards standing outside, this was a place that gave access not only to the boxes, but also to the manager's office, which José quickly found and introduced Ace. After a brief conversation, Ace was escorted to the crew who quickly notified the DJ on stage that someone else had entered.
Arthur stood at the back of the stage with his group, the manager and some members of the production team waiting for his moment.
After a few minutes he heard the beat of "Yeah", proving the nightclub audience's approval of the song, which received the song with a strong celebration from the public. During his entry into the song, Ace came out from behind the stage and started to sing.
