"Wash off the makeup on your face, Knight Of The White Thorn. There's no need for such exaggerated makeup in a movie. I remember this spell should be …"
A light blue inscription appeared in Josiah's hand. It was the inscription of Wingelk, the God of Flowing Water and Healing that Herland believed in.
A large amount of water gathered in Josiah's palm and formed a ball. It was the most basic Condensation spell. The liquid formed by magic floated in front of the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"No problem, my lord."
The Knight Of The White Thorn's face was carefully drawn by him. Although a small part of it was slightly ruined due to sweat, it was still the most delicate kind of makeup commonly seen on stage.
However, at Josiah's request, he still washed off the makeup on his face with the water ball in front of him.
This scene was also witnessed by the other Black Swan actors. Many of the actors present had never experienced going on stage without makeup. Every one of them who participated in the audition today had carefully dressed up like the Knight Of The White Thorn.
It should be noted that during the audition of a stage play, the managers of the troupe would not even spare a glance at the actors who did not even put on makeup.
However, this young filmmaker seemed to be completely different from the old playwrights and managers of the troupe.
"Please begin your performance."
When the Knight Of The White Thorn washed his face, Josiah snapped his fingers, and the floating liquid in the air disappeared. The Knight Of The White Thorn officially began his first audition.
The slightly plump nobleman walked to the humanoid puppet and spent a few minutes browsing through the script. Even the Knight Of The White Thorn was somewhat surprised that he was naturally immersed in the role.
Compared to the Black Swan actor named Baroque, the Knight Of The White Thorn's performance finally made Josiah feel that it was more like a movie than a stage play.
After watching Beauty And The Devil, the Knight Of The White Thorn had practiced hard for a period of time. He had long realized that the way of acting in a movie was completely different from that of a stage play.
"One more time."
Josiah already saw the somewhat neurotic policeman standing in front of him. The Knight Of The White Thorn's body shape and appearance were a bit similar to Sirius's. After this performance, the two images instantly overlapped.
When the Knight Of The White Thorn performed for the second time, the atmosphere of the entire audition venue began to change. The actors of Black Swan stopped talking, and Mrs. Sizer also turned her gaze to the Knight Of The White Thorn.
The Knight Of The White Thorn played the role of Stanfield in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold", a villain who was somewhat crazy and neurotic, but also extremely charming … And the Knight Of The White Thorn was gradually revealing this character in front of everyone.
When he finished the last line, he very intimately patted the back of the puppet's neck.
When the Knight Of The White Thorn looked at the actors of Black Swan, Josiah noticed that the young actresses of Black Swan took a step back.
This was because … the performance of the Knight Of The White Thorn really made them feel afraid. If they met this kind of valiant person on the street, they would definitely call for their guards!
Even the way these actresses looked at the Knight Of The White Thorn was a little strange.
The meaning in their eyes was probably "I didn't expect the Knight Of The White Thorn to be this kind of person!"
This reaction made the Knight Of The White Thorn's heart tense up.
He immediately realized that he might have messed up the performance, and the reputation that he had painstakingly built up in the theater circle might be ruined!
But unlike these young actresses, led by Mrs. Sizer, several other senior Black Swan actors applauded the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"Beautiful performance, Knight Of The White Thorn. I thought you would only be a theater manager for the rest of your life, but I didn't expect that you still have the artistic blood of the Falosi flowing in your veins."
Mrs. Sizer had read the script of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", and she also knew what kind of character Stanfield should be. The Knight Of The White Thorn had undoubtedly performed the effect of resurrection.
This sudden praise made the Knight Of The White Thorn a little overwhelmed. Duchess Blackwood had a great say in the Falosi, not only in terms of power, but also in terms of stage performances. She was even comparable to those old master-level actors.
And this praise from Mrs. Sizer was enough to prove that the Knight Of The White Thorn's performance just now was very impressive.
"Congratulations, Knight. Please take a break at the back," Josiah said to the Knight Of The White Thorn with a smile.
"Thank you, Lady Sizer, and Lord Josiah."
The praise from Mrs. Sizer made the Knight Of The White Thorn excited. He bowed twice, then quickly walked backstage.
The Knight Of The White Thorn's demonstration was a good start for the black swan actors. They all understood that this young director did not need any elegant and pleasant voice to recite the lines, nor did he need any excessive emotional catharsis. He only needed the character to appear in reality!
This was also the most difficult, but those who could stand here were basically the elites of the actor industry.
When the Knight Of The White Thorn came backstage with an excited heart, he happened to meet the actor who had auditioned for the role of Stanfield, Barok.
"That young man doesn't know what acting is. When I was his age, I had already appeared on stage countless times. Whether it was the Capital Theater of Falosi, the Star of Tomorrow Theater, or the Flower of Sanlona Theater, my name was written all over them."
Barok stood in the corner of the backstage, venting his inner dissatisfaction with an old actor.
"It is precisely because you stubbornly cling to your past glory and acting style that you failed to be selected. Barok, you are too arrogant. You didn't even read the script written by that young director before the audition."
The old actor tried to dissuade Barok as an elder, but Barok was not moved at all.
"No matter what script or role it is, I have no problem with it. Besides, I don't think that young playwright can write an outstanding script. Didn't he find a playwright to adapt the script for the previous' Beauty and the Devil '?" he said.
"You are wrong … But it is also a good thing that you didn't read the script."
The old actor took out the first draft of the script that Josiah had distributed to the Black Swan actors before the performance. This was a copy of the script that Josiah had given to Mrs. Sizer. Now, almost all the Black Swan actors had a copy, but Barok refused. He only had the script that he wanted to experiment with for the role.
"Good thing?" Barok did not understand what he meant.
"Only after you read it will you understand how I feel."
"I hate it when you always stop halfway. Old Mork, give me that script."
