Baroque did read the script with a joke mentality at first. He wanted to see how superficial and naive the young playwright was writing.
But after watching the first act, he was quickly drawn to the boldly dark and somewhat explicit script.
In his life, he has indeed seen many masterpieces written by the great Farosi playwrights that are full of artistry and profound philosophy of life, but "The Devil Is Not Too Cold" is a completely different story!
Baroque even took the edge of the script into a deep fold when the story progressed to the point where the neurotic Dharma keeper Steinfeld led his men to slaughter the heroine's family.
"Baroque be careful, I'm going to keep this thing!" the old actor reminded him.
But Baroque didn't pay attention to the other party's reminder at all. To be an excellent actor, it is inevitable to have a rich inner world and feelings, and Baroque is the same.
Baroque was completely shocked by this scene when the heroine, in order to survive, knew that her family was killed by Steinfeld, but chose to turn a blind eye and walked all the way to the hero's room next door and knocked on the door.
When he turned to the next page and hoped to know if the male protagonist had opened the door, he unfortunately found that the back was completely blank.
Baroque recovered from the plot of "The Devil's Not Too Cold" and looked at the actor in front of him who had handed him the script.
"I think you should be able to understand my mood now." He grabbed the script from Baroque, carefully smoothed the corners and said to Baroque.
Of course Baroque understood, understood the eagerness to immediately pull the playwright by the collar and let him tell him what was going on.
At the same time, Baroque knew what a… bestselling story this was going to be, maybe it wasn't quite like the great plays written by the great playwrights of Farosi, but it would definitely be a hit!
"I'm going to try again, I have to..." Baroque kept mumbling.
He suddenly realized that he had missed a film shoot that might take the world by storm in the future, not only the fame that the film might bring him, but the most important thing was to experience "The Devil" as an actor Not too cold" story chance!
"Mrs. Caesar won't allow it, you can try to wait until this audition is over."
It's a pity that the reality is not as beautiful as the fantasy, and Baroque does not dare to defy the Duchess openly. Although he also has a noble background, in the Farosi Mansion, Mrs. Caesar's right to speak is absolute!
…
This time, Joshua was very satisfied with the audition. The Black Swan Troupe is worthy of being the top troupe in Farosi, and the actors in it are almost perfect.
When they gave up the form of stage play, like Sir White Thorns, they performed extremely good acting skills in the audition.
So far, except for the male and female protagonists in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold", the other supporting roles have basically been confirmed.
There was only the last person left in this troupe of nearly 100 people. What surprised Joshua was that the last auditioner was an elf.
A blond elf.
The Duke of Blackwood has a close relationship with the forest elves. There will be an elf actor in the Black Swan troupe. It seems that it is common sense for Qiao Xiu to think about it carefully.
"What's your name?" Joshua looked at the elf. She had a tall figure unique to the elf family, and she stood there exuding a confident temperament.
"Taelin, I don't have a last name."
She didn't mind telling Qiao Xiu, and even said that she didn't have a surname in front of everyone.
In Joshua's view, this was quite a bold act, because most of the actors in the Black Swan troupe were descendants of famous nobles, as well as the nobles themselves with status, and only a very small number of commoners stood.
There are only two kinds of people in this world who have no surname. The first is the commoners who live at the lowest end of the world, and the second is the existence of being expelled from the family and abandoned by the entire family as a shame.
When he heard this sentence, Qiao Xiu glanced at the actors of the Black Swan Troupe who were watching. Sure enough, many actors were looking forward to the performance of this elf in front of Qiao Xiu with a joke attitude.
The demi-human elves have no concept of commoners, so the elves must have been expelled from their own ethnic group, so they lost their surnames.
"Then Taelin, do you want to play the role in "The Devil's Not Too Cold"?"
Joshua admitted that he had a little fondness for this daring elf girl, of course, from the perspective of a judge.
"Um... the heroine?"
When she said the role she wanted to play, Joshua vaguely heard the jeers from someone in the Black Swan troupe.
After all, during the audition just now, no one dared to say that they wanted to play the heroine, no matter how well the actors of the Black Swan troupe performed.
Because after reading the script of "This Devil is Not Too Cold", they have basically guessed that Matilda is a role tailored for their black swan.
"I'm sorry... Taelin, your height and age are not suitable for the heroine."
In fact, Qiao Xiu accepts fair competition. Although Qiao Xiu has indeed appointed Caroline, the Flower of Pharos, as the heroine, if her acting skills are far better than Caroline, Qiao Xiu is still willing to temporarily change the starring lineup. .
But it is a pity that she is close to 1.7 meters in height, and it has been announced that she has missed the role of Matilda.
"I don't have any suitable roles on hand for the time being, but how about you stay and try to play some passerby roles?"
Since knowing that the appearance of the black cat was related to the forest elf, Qiao Xiu was unwilling to let go of any elf girl. What if she could also summon the black cat
"no problem."
She readily accepted Qiao Xiu's proposal to let her run the show. Passersby didn't need to audition. She turned around and was about to leave, but she stopped before she took a few steps.
"Mr. Joshua, I wonder if you wrote Let It Go?"
This elf is also interested in the song "Let It Go"? Could it be that this song has a special effect that attracts elves.
"I'll keep this a secret for now. What's the purpose of this, you ask?"
She seems to be more interested in that song than whether she can participate in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
"A great song...reminds me of my hometown."
As she spoke, she smoothed the ends of her blond hair, and a part of silver-white hair slipped from her ear.
"This is the hair color unique to the frost elves who live in the ice fields near the Land of Frost. This race should have disappeared when I was a child." Ciri whispered in Josh's ear.
Ciri is from the Land of Frost, and Qiao Xiu has been with her for so long. Even if Ciri didn't tell Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu could vaguely guess that this elf also seemed to have some connection with the Land of Frost
Mixed blood? This question will wait for Qiao Xiu to continue to delve into it later.
"Thank you for your appreciation. I look forward to your performance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Today's audition will end here! Thanks again to all the excellent actors of the Black Swan Troupe." Joshua said.
