"Quick! Bring me that box of paints, quick! It's not gold white! It's pure white! "
In the dressing room of the White Thorn Theatre, the Knight Of The White Thorn and his attendants had been busy since early in the morning.
The Knight Of The White Thorn had wasted countless paints in the past few hours. The makeup on his face could be used to paint an oil painting.
He had never been as solemn as he was today. Even when he participated in the Falosi Academy of Arts examination when he was young, he was not as solemn as he was now.
Today was the day of his' audition. 'Josiah's next movie would be filmed at the Black Pigeon Hotel on Squirrel Street. As a pre-selected actor, he was invited to the audition by Josiah.
The audition venue was the Falosi Mansion. It was said that the Knight Of The White Thorn was chosen by the wife of the Duke of Blackwood, which meant that the Duchess would also participate in the audition!
Ever since "Beauty And The Devil" was released, the Knight Of The White Thorn had looked forward to becoming an actor in a movie countless times. Today, his dream was about to come true.
"Quick! I don't have time to care about that. Get in the carriage! Go to the Falosi Mansion! "
The Knight Of The White Thorn chose a look that he was satisfied with. He immediately ran out of the theatre and shouted to the attendant who was driving the carriage.
The audition time that Josiah had scheduled was at noon, but he wanted to go there earlier because his competitor was the legendary Black Swan!
This made the Knight Of The White Thorn very uneasy. The Black Swan was the pinnacle of Falosi. It was the best troupe, and the actors in it were also the best. It was not something that a second-rate actor like him could compare to.
Therefore, he could only go there before the other actors of the Black Swan Troupe arrived to see if he could get one or two roles. He did not expect to get such an important role as the male lead. Even a supporting role would be good enough.
Under the urging of the Knight Of The White Thorn, the carriage driver quickly drove to the Falosi Mansion. After about half an hour, the carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the Falosi Mansion.
Lord White Thorn quickly got off the carriage and wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief. He had a habit of sweating whenever he was nervous, and it was not the first time that he had done so.
However, the original makeup was gradually ruined by the overflow of sweat. It was impossible for the Knight Of The White Thorn to put on makeup again. He could only brace himself and walk to the entrance of the Falosi Mansion.
"The Knight Of The White Thorn? I'm sorry, Lady Sizer is not receiving any guests today. "
The guard standing at the entrance of the Falosi Mansion recognized the Knight Of The White Thorn. After all, the Knight Of The White Thorn was a small noble of Falosi, and he was considered to be a little famous.
"Mr. Josiah invited me here. I have proof."
The White Thorn Flower took out the letter that Josiah wrote to him last night, as well as a special blackwood badge. This was the proof of identity that Mrs. Sizer had given to Josiah. Josiah was already very 'familiar' with the people in this mansion, so this badge was given to the Knight Of The White Thorn.
The guard immediately picked up the letter and glanced at it. A short paragraph of Josiah's recommendation was written on it.
Now that Josiah's status in the Falosi Mansion was not low, the guards dared not offend him. In addition, they knew the Knight Of The White Thorn, and it was not the first time he had visited the Falosi Mansion.
Therefore, they made way for the Knight Of The White Thorn to walk into the mansion.
A servant received the Knight Of The White Thorn, and under the servant's guidance, the Knight Of The White Thorn came all the way to the legendary Black Swan's training ground.
The place was close to the mansion's indoor garden. The Knight Of The White Thorn followed the servant around the garden and came to an open room.
As soon as he stepped into the room, the Knight Of The White Thorn became excited again.
There were too many familiar faces standing here. He could be considered one of the Black Swan's fans, but the Knight Of The White Thorn still suppressed his excitement and looked at the center of the room.
This was originally the Black Swan's rehearsal room. There were two desks at the edge of the room. Mrs. Sizer sat alone behind one desk, while Josiah and Hiri sat behind the other desk.
In the center of the room, there was a human-shaped puppet …
"I've written your lines on that piece of paper. Please begin, Mr. Barok," said Josiah.
The Knight Of The White Thorn's gaze followed Josiah's words and looked at the center of the room. There stood a man with a similar build to him. The Knight Of The White Thorn knew this actor!
Apart from Carolee, he could be said to be another 'pillar' of the Black Swan. Many of the Black Swan's plays were played by him.
Barok followed the lines on the script and imagined the human-shaped puppet to be his character. Then, he began his first audition.
"Stop."
But before he could finish, Josiah stopped him. He was a little annoyed by Josiah's sudden interruption. He could not accept the fact that Josiah, as a young man, was reviewing his acting skills. If it were not for Mrs. Sizer, he would definitely not be so obedient to this young man.
"Your acting is still too pretentious. This is not a stage play. Be more realistic!"
Pretentious? In all his years of acting in stage plays, this was the first time he had heard such an evaluation. Barok looked at Mrs. Sizer.
The Duchess did not say anything, which meant that he had to continue acting.
So, he suppressed the anger in his heart and began the second round of auditions. But not long after, he was stopped by Josiah again.
"I should have described your character, Stanfield, in the script. He is a Valiant, but at the same time, he is a neurotic, somewhat crazy, and full of artistic … madman. When you're acting, you have to be close to the puppet! You have to be as intimate as a dwarf. To put it simply, you have to be gay. "
With this reminder from Josiah, not only the actor who was auditioning, but the other actors of the Black Swan were also shocked.
They could still accept Josiah's first request as an artistic madman, but what was the meaning of the second?
According to Josiah, the puppet was a middle-aged man over 40 years old. He had to act as intimate as a lover to a middle-aged man over 40 years old?
"Forgive me, but I am not qualified for this role."
There was a limit to how much Barok could endure. When he heard Josiah's excessive request, he immediately chose to reject it.
"Is that so? Then, the next one, Knight Of The White Thorn, you can try. "
Josiah did not expect to find a suitable candidate in one go. The Black Swan had their own pride. If it were not for Mrs. Sizer, they would not have accepted Josiah's audition so obediently.
