At first, Barok did read the script with the mentality of watching a joke. He wanted to see how shallow and childish the young playwright's writing was.
But after watching the first scene, he was quickly attracted by this bold, dark, and somewhat explicit script.
He had read many masterpieces written by great Falosi playwrights in his life that were rich in art and profound in life philosophy, but "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" was a completely different story!
When the plot progressed to the neurotic Valefar Stanfield and his subordinates slaughtering the female lead's family, Barok even gripped the edges of the script so tightly that deep creases appeared.
"Barok, be careful. I'm going to collect this!" The old actor reminded him.
But Barok did not pay attention to the other party's warning. To become an outstanding actor, it was inevitable that he had a rich inner world and emotions. Barok was the same.
When the female lead knew that her family was killed by Stanfield in order to survive, she chose to turn a blind eye to it. She walked all the way to the male lead's room next door and knocked on the door. Barok was completely shocked by this scene.
When he flipped to the next page, hoping to know if the male lead had opened the door, he regretfully found that it was a complete blank.
Barok recovered from the plot of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" and looked at the actor who handed him the script.
"I think you should be able to understand my feelings now." He snatched the script back from Barok's hands and carefully smoothed out the creases as he said to Barok.
Of course, Barok could understand. He understood the eagerness to immediately pull on the playwright's collar and ask him to tell him what kind of development would follow.
At the same time, Barok also knew that this would be a … best-selling story. Perhaps it would not be like those masterpieces written by great Falosi playwrights, but it would definitely be popular!
"I want to try again, I have to …" Barok kept murmuring.
He suddenly realized that he had missed a chance to shoot a movie that could take the whole world by storm in the future. Not only did he miss the fame that this movie could bring to him, but he also missed the chance to experience the story of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" as an actor!
"Lady Sizer won't allow it. You can try to wait until the end of this audition."
Unfortunately, reality was not as beautiful as fantasy. Barok did not dare to openly disobey the Duchess. Although he also had a noble background, in the Falosi Mansion, Lady Sizer's words were absolute!
… …
Josh was very satisfied with the audition. The Black Swan Troupe lived up to its name as the top troupe in Falosi. Almost all the actors in the troupe understood everything.
They were like the Knight Of The White Thorn who abandoned the stage performance and performed extremely well in the audition.
So far, except for the male and female leads in "This Demon Isn't Too Cold", the other supporting roles had basically been confirmed.
There was only one person left in the troupe of close to a hundred people, and much to Josh's surprise, the last person to be auditioned for the role was an elf.
An elf with blond hair and blue eyes.
The Blackwood Duke himself had a close relationship with the wood elves, and it made sense that there would be an elven actor in Black Swan when he thought about it carefully.
"What's your name?" Josiah looked at the elf. She had a tall and slender figure unique to elves, and she exuded a confident aura just by standing there.
"Taylin. I don't have a surname."
She told Josiah without a care, even telling him in front of everyone that she didn't have a surname.
In Josh's eyes, this was a very bold move. This was because most of the actors in the Black Swan Troupe were the descendants of famous nobles and nobles themselves. Only a very small number of commoners were present.
There were only two types of people in this world who didn't have a surname. The first was the commoners who lived at the lowest end of society, while the second was those who were chased out of their families and treated as a disgrace.
At that, Josiah glanced at the Black Swan actors who were watching the audition. As expected, many of them were waiting to see the elf's performance in front of Josiah with the attitude of watching a joke.
Elves were a subhuman race that had no concept of commoners, which was why the elf must have been chased out of her own race and lost her surname.
"Well, Taylin, do you want to play the role in 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'?"
Josiah had to admit that he had a slight liking for the bold elven girl, of course from the judge's point of view.
"Hmm … Female lead?"
Josiah could faintly hear the mocking laughter of someone in Black Swan when she mentioned the role she wanted to play.
After all, none of the Black Swan actors dared to say that they wanted to play the female lead no matter how outstanding their performance was during the audition.
After all, they had basically guessed that Matilda was a role tailor-made for their Black Swan after reading the script of 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'.
"I'm sorry … Taylin, but your height and age aren't suitable for the female lead role."
As a matter of fact, Josiah was accepting fair competition. While Josiah had indeed decided on Carolee, the Flower of Falosi, as the female lead, Josiah was willing to change the cast if her acting skills were far better than Carolee's.
Regrettably, her height of almost 1.7 meters meant that she had no chance of playing the role of Matilda.
"I don't have any suitable roles on hand at the moment, but why don't you stay and try playing a side character?"
Ever since he learned that the black cat's appearance had something to do with the wood elves, Josiah was unwilling to let go of any elven girl. What if she could summon the black cat too?
"No problem."
She gladly accepted Josiah's suggestion that she play a side character since side characters didn't have to audition. She turned to leave, but stopped after a few steps.
"Mister Josiah, I want to know if you wrote 'Let it Go'?"
This elfin is also interested in the song "Let it Go"? Could it be that the song has a special effect that attracts elves?
"I'll keep that a secret for now. What's your motive for asking?"
She seemed more interested in the song than whether she could act in 'This Demon Is Not Too Cold'.
"It's a great song … it reminds me of my home."
As she spoke, she combed the ends of her golden hair, letting some silver-white strands slip past her ear.
"That's the unique hair color of the frost elves who live in the icy plains near the Land of Frost. That race should have disappeared when I was young." Hiri whispered into Josiah's ear.
Hiri came from the Land of Frost, and Josiah had spent so much time with her that even if Hiri didn't tell Josiah, Josiah could vaguely guess it. Moreover, the elf seemed to be related to the Land of Frost.
Mixed blood? That was a question Josiah would have to look into later.
