The next day, the Whitebud Theatre.
Qiao Xiu sat in the rehearsal room and inspected the actors chosen by Sir Bai Jinghua. These actors were all from the Bai Jinghua Troupe, and many of them were veteran actors who participated in "Avatar" and "The Story of Hachiko."
As for the choice of supporting roles, Qiao Xiu is quite satisfied, as for... the protagonist.
"It's a pity that Sir Whitebud, the protagonist you chose is too young."
Joshua looked at the "resume" of the young actor in front of him.
The actor knew Joshua, and Joshua knew him.
He used to come from the bottom of Squirrel Street, a thief under the command of an orc named "Beauty" Gutama, and more importantly... He is a half-blood of demons.
When Joshua first saw him, he was still dirty in his tattered clothes.
Sir Whitehorn made a request to adopt him at that time, and now it is proved that Sir Whitehorn has a good vision.
Now he is standing there a little restrained in normal clothes, just from the appearance, he does have the potential to become an actor.
"Mr. Joshua, if you put on a little makeup." Sir Bai Jinghua looked very confident in his apprentice.
"It's not about makeup, I know you'd love to give the boy a chance, but not now..."
Joshua smiled at him, hoping to make him less restrained, but the young actor was still a little overwhelmed with his hands clasped together.
"Then, Mr. Qiao Xiu, I actually have several candidates for the male lead." Sir Bai Jinghua said.
But Qiao Xiu directly threw the resume of the Bai Jinghua Troupe on the table, and turned to look at the Sir Bai Jinghua beside him.
"Have you lost a lot of weight recently?"
Joshua remembered that Sir Bai Jinghua's body should be slightly fat.
"I hadn't slept much for almost a week when Avatar came out, so..."
"Very good." Qiao Xiu stood up from his seat and patted Sir Bai Jinghua on the shoulder. "The hero decided it was you, but don't let me down."
Sir Bai Jinghua's acting skills are unquestionable, and the role of the villain "police officer" played in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold" is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Joshua believed that if Sir Bai Jinghua showed that "perverted" smile in front of a little girl who had watched "The Devil Is Not Too Cold", he would definitely scare the other party into tears in an instant, or... let the other party take out a magic wand and do it one.
"This… "
Joshua didn't give Sir Bai Jinghua a chance to answer, but went straight to the young actor.
"I remember your name is Leon?" Joshua asked.
"Yes... yes, Your Highness."
He still doesn't seem to be able to adapt to this environment. Although Ser White Thorns has given him enough etiquette lessons, he has not taught him how to remain calm in the presence of Chaos Demons.
"I remember you have a younger sister."
When Joshua mentioned his sister, the expression on his face finally changed a little.
"My sister is living in the Farosi mansion, that... thanks Mr. Joshua..."
"You don't need to thank him. Continue to learn acting skills with that 'Stanfield'. There will always be opportunities for you to play in the future."
Joshua also pointed to Sir White Thorns in the distance. He once misunderstood that the story in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold" was real, in order to help him kidnap Sir White Thorns.
"That's it for the words of encouragement." Qiao Xiu turned around and glanced at all the actors present: "I think you all know what to do next, take your lines, Shawshank Prison is expected to have about three days left. The time is set! Before that, shoot the pre-prison scene."
…
Four days later, Squirrel Street north of Nolan.
"We tracked down the Black Flame Wolf for almost six days and found it, but the reward is only twenty hardware, and the apportionment is not enough to even maintain the weapon itself."
Reyek walked on the streets of Squirrel Street listening to the complaints of the members next to him.
"The black flame wolf is just a variant of the flame wolf. The fur of this creature is only about one silver coin. Five hundred gold is not bad."
Reyek didn't speak, and Rona, the Serpent's staff officer, began to appease the emotions of the other members, but he turned his gaze to Reyek after soothing.
"Captain, can the things we recorded really get enough reward?" Rona held the original spar with the images of them hunting the Black Flame Wolf in his hand, "The supplies from today are all based on you, Commander... Money from the show?"
Rona paused slightly when he mentioned the word "performance". The Serpent of Yevrke is currently facing a dilemma, that is, the dilemma of lack of money.
After some members were affected by the gray fog, they hadn't accepted any decent commissions for a long time.
This is one of the reasons why Reyek suddenly decided to go to the music guild.
Fortunately, Reyek conquered many listeners of Monet Cloud Music with his own voice, and the money he earned also eased the dilemma of Yevrke's snake's lack of money, but he did not get rid of it.
"Snake" has been weak for too long and needs a lot of nutrients to nourish.
"I have no idea."
Reyek shook his head and gave Rhona an uncertain answer. During this period, he had walked out of Nolan's city wall with the four team members behind him and came out of the suburbs.
"Captain... Haven't arrived yet? Shouldn't the agreed location be on Squirrel Street? I still want to go to the speakeasy bar on Squirrel Street for a drink." The archer who followed Reyek suddenly asked.
They thought the "deal" was on Squirrel Street. After all, Squirrel Street was a gathering place for shady activities a long time ago.
However, when a group of guys named "Reporters" appeared on Squirrel Street, the chaos on the street was instantly calmed down.
"The place of the transaction is in Beginner's Forest?" Rona ignored the noisy archer, and then asked Reyek.
"No, there."
Reyek stretched out his hand and pointed to a very conspicuous building in the distance.
"Fort... fortress, fortress? When was it built." Rona noticed that there was another "city wall" outside the city wall of Squirrel Street "The last time I came outside this city gate was a month ago... Those sages What does the old man build a fortress so close to the city?"
"It's not a fortress there," Reyek said in a deep voice. "It's a prison... a prison named Shawshank."
"Shawshank Prison?"
Rona read this strange name, and the other three members of the group followed by Reyek showed strange expressions when they heard the word prison.
"That Chaos Demon really has a conspiracy, right? Why put the place of the transaction in the prison! The Nolan Law Enforcement Team must have been ambushed nearby! Head..."
"Calm down Koya, we're not selling anything illegal." Rona reminded the archer behind him not to commit occupational diseases. "But Captain, is Joshua Arnorrod serious?"
"Seriously, he also said he could invite us there... as guests," Reyek said.
