Chapter 109: The Frost Elf
Baroque really read the play with the mentality of reading a joke at the beginning. He wanted to see how superficial and childish the young playwright's writing was.
But after watching the first act, he was quickly attracted by this bold, dark and somewhat explicit script.
In his life, he has indeed seen many masterpieces handed down from generation to generation that are full of artistry and profound philosophy of life written by the great playwright Fallowhi, but "This Devil Is Not So Cold" is a completely different story!
Baroque even wrinkled the edges of the script deeply when the plot progressed to the point where the neurotic Lawkeeper Stan Phil led his men to slaughter the heroine's family.
"Be careful, Baroque, I want to keep this thing!" The aged actor reminded him.
But Baroque didn't pay attention to the other party's reminder at all. To become an excellent actor, it is inevitable to have a rich inner world and emotions, and Baroque is the same.
When the heroine knew that her family was killed by Stan Phil in order to survive, but chose to turn a blind eye and went all the way to the hero's room next door and knocked on the door, Baroque was completely shocked by this scene.
When he turned to the next page, he hoped to know whether the male protagonist had opened the door, but he regretfully found that the back was completely blank.
Baroque recovered from the plot of "This Devil Is Not So Cold", and looked at the actor in front of him who handed him the script.
"I think you should be able to understand my mood now." He snatched the script back from Baroque, smoothed the corners carefully and said to Baroque at the same time.
Of course Baroque could understand, understand the eagerness to immediately pull the playwright by the collar and let him tell him what happened next.
At the same time, Baroque also knew what a... best-selling story this would be. Maybe it wasn't like the masterpieces written by the great playwrights of Faloosi, but it would definitely be popular!
"I'm going to try again, I have to..." Baroque kept murmuring.
He suddenly realized that he had missed a movie shooting that would take the world by storm in the future, not only the fame that this movie might bring him, but most importantly, the experience of "This Devil" as an actor. Not too cold" story opportunity!
"Mrs. Caesar will not allow it, you can try to wait until this audition is over."
It's a pity that the reality is not as beautiful as imagined. Baroque didn't dare to openly disobey the Duchess. Although he also has a noble background, Mrs. Caesar's right to speak is absolute in the Farosi mansion!

This time, Qiao Xiu was very satisfied with the audition. The Black Swan Troupe is indeed the top troupe in Fallowhi, and the actors in it can almost understand everything.
When they gave up the performance form of stage plays like Sir Baijinghua, they performed extremely excellent acting skills in the audition.
So far, in "This Devil Is Not So Cold", except for the male and female protagonists who have not been confirmed for the time being, the other supporting roles have basically been confirmed.
There was only one last person left in the theater troupe with nearly a hundred people. To Joshua's surprise, the last audition was an elf.
A blond elf.
Duke Blackwood himself has a close connection with the forest elves. There will be an elf actor in the Black Swan Troupe. After careful consideration, it seems to be reasonable for Qiao Xiu to do so.
"What's your name?" Qiao Xiu looked at the elf. She had a tall figure unique to the elves, and she exuded a confident aura standing there.
"Tylin, I don't have a last name."
She told Qiao Xiu without hesitation, and even told everyone that she didn't have a surname in front of everyone.
In Qiao Xiu's view, this was quite a bold act, because most of the actors in the Black Swan Troupe were descendants of nobles with names and surnames, and the nobles themselves with status, and only a handful of commoners stood.
There are only two kinds of people in this world without a surname. The first type is the common people who live in the lowest end, and the second type is the existence that was 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 elf's performance in front of Qiao Xiu with the attitude of watching a joke.
The sub-race of elves has no concept of common people, so this elf must have been expelled from his own group, so he lost his surname.
"Then Tailin, do you want to play the character in "This Devil Is Not So Cold"?"
Qiao Xiu admitted that he had a little affection for this bold elf girl, of course it was from the perspective of a judge.
"Hmm... the heroine?"
When she said the role she wanted to play, Joshua vaguely heard the laughter from someone in the Black Swan troupe.
After all, during the audition just now, no matter how good the actors of the Black Swan Troupe performed, no one dared to say that they wanted to play the heroine.
Because after reading the script of "This Devil Is Not So Cold", they basically guessed that Matilda is a role tailored for their Black Swan.
"I'm sorry... Tai Lin, your height and age are not suitable for the heroine."
In fact, Qiao Xiu accepts fair competition. Although Qiao Xiu has indeed appointed Jia Luoli, the flower of Faluoxi, as the heroine, if her acting skills are far better than Jia Luoli, Qiao Xiu is still willing to temporarily change the starring lineup. .
But it is a pity that she is close to 1.7 meters tall, and she has already declared that she has no chance to play the role of Matilda.
"I don't have any suitable roles for the time being, but how about you staying and trying to play some passerby roles?"
Ever since he knew that the appearance of the black cat was related to the forest elves, Joshua was unwilling to let any elf girl go. What if she could also summon the black cat?
"no problem."
She readily accepted Joshua's proposal to let her play tricks. Passers-by don't need to audition. She turned around and was about to leave, but stopped before taking a few steps.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, I want to know 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 of attracting elves.
"I will keep this secret for the time being. What is your purpose for asking this?"
She seemed more interested in that song than whether she could participate in "This Devil Is Not So Cold".
"Great song...reminds me of my hometown."
As she spoke, she smoothed her golden hair with her hands, and a part of silver-white hair slipped from her ear.
"This is the unique hair color of the frost elves who live in the ice fields near the Frost Kingdom. This race should have disappeared when I was a child." Shirley whispered in Joshua's ear.
Shirley came from the Frost Kingdom, and Joshua had been with her for so long, even if Shirley hadn't told him, Joshua could have vaguely guessed that this elf also had some connection with the Frost Kingdom?
mixed race? This question will wait for Qiao Xiu to study further in the future.
"Thank you for your appreciation. I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Let's end today's audition! Thanks again to the excellent actors of the Black Swan Troupe." Qiao Xiu said.
