Chapter 109: Frost Elves
Baroque did read the play with a joke mentality at first, and he wanted to see how superficial and naïve the young playwright could be.
But after watching the first act, he was quickly drawn to the bold, dark, and somewhat explicit script.
He has indeed seen a lot of masterpieces written by the great playwright of Falosi in his life, which are full of artistry and profound life philosophy, but "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" is a completely different story!
When the plot progresses to the massacre of the heroine's family with his men by the neurotic Dharma-keeper Stanfield, Baroque even holds the edge of the script in a deep fold.
"Baroque be careful, I'm going to collect this thing!" The old actor reminded him.
But Baroque didn't pay attention to the other party's reminder at all, it is inevitable to become an excellent actor and have a rich inner world and feelings, and Baroque is the same.
When the heroine, in order to survive, knew that her family was killed by Stanfield, but chose to turn a blind eye and went all the way to the next male protagonist's room and knocked on the door, Baroque was completely shocked by this scene.
When he turned to the next page, he wanted to know if the actor had opened the door, but he regretted to find that there was a blank behind it.
Baroque came back to his senses from the plot of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" and looked at the actor in front of him who handed him the script.
"I think you can understand my feelings by now." He snatched the script back from Baroque's hand, carefully smoothed the corners and said to Baroque.
Baroque could certainly understand, understand the eagerness to pull the playwright by the collar at once, and let him tell himself what was going on.
At the same time, Baroque knew what it would be... A best-selling story, maybe it's not like the masterpieces written by the great playwrights of Falosi, but it's definitely going to be a hit!
"I'm going to try again, I have to—" Baroque muttered.
He suddenly realized that he had missed a film shoot that might take the world by storm in the future, not only the fame that the film might bring him, but most importantly, the opportunity to experience the story of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" as an actor!
"Mrs. Nishizawa won't allow it, you can try to wait until this audition is over."
It's a pity that the reality is not as beautiful as the fantasy, and Baroque does not dare to openly disobey the Duchess, although he also has an aristocratic background, but in the Falosi Mansion, Mrs. Nishizawa's right to speak is absolute!

Qiao Xiu was very satisfied with the audition this time, the Black Swan Troupe is worthy of being the top troupe in Falosi, and the actors in it are almost instantaneous.
When they were like Sir White Vitex who gave up the performance form of the stage play, they performed extremely good acting skills in the audition.
So far, except for the male protagonist and heroine in "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", the other supporting roles have basically been confirmed.
There was only one person left in this troupe of nearly a hundred people, and to Qiao Xiu's great surprise, the last auditioner was an elf.
A blonde elf.
Duke Blackwood himself has a close connection with the forest elves, and there will be an elf actor in the Black Swan Troupe, and it seems to be a common sense for Qiao Xiu to think about it carefully.
"What's your name?" Qiao Xiu looked at this elf, she had a tall figure unique to the elf clan, and she exuded a confident temperament when she stood there.
"Tylene, I don't have a last name."
She didn't mind telling Qiao Xiu, and even said in front of everyone that she didn't have a surname.
This was a rather bold act in Qiao Xiu's opinion, because most of the actors in the Black Swan Troupe were the sons of nobles with names and surnames, as well as the nobles themselves with status, and the commoners only stood in a very small minority.
There are only two kinds of people who do not have a surname in this world, the first is the commoner who lives at the lowest end, and the second is the existence that has been expelled from the house and abandoned by the whole family as a disgrace.
When he heard this, Qiao Xiu's eyes glanced at the actors of the Black Swan Troupe who were watching, and sure enough, many actors were looking forward to the performance of this elf in front of Qiao Xiu with the attitude of watching jokes.
The elves are a subhuman race that does not have the concept of civilians, so this elf must have been expelled from his own race, so he lost his surname.
"Tylene, you'd like to play the role in This Demon Isn't Too Cold?"
Qiao Xiu admitted that he had a little affection for this bold elf girl, of course, from the perspective of being a judge.
"Hmm... Heroine? ”
As she said the role she wanted to play, Qiao Xiu vaguely heard the ridicule from someone in the Black Swan Troupe.
After all, when the audition was just now, no matter how good the actors of the Black Swan Troupe were, no one dared to say that they wanted to play the heroine.
Because after reading the script of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold", they have basically guessed that Matilda is a character tailored for their black swan.
"I'm sorry... Tylene, your height and age are not quite suitable for the heroine. ”
In fact, Qiao Xiu accepts fair competition, although Qiao Xiu has indeed decided on the identity of Caroli, the flower of Falosi, as the heroine, but if her acting skills are far better than Caroli, Qiao Xiu is still willing to temporarily change the lineup of the leading actors.
But it's a pity that she is close to 1.7 meters tall, and she has already announced that she has no chance with the role of Matilda.
"I don't have any suitable roles at hand for the time being, but how about you stay and try some passerby roles?"
Since he knew that the appearance of the black cat was related to the forest elf, Qiao Xiu was unwilling to let go of any elf girl, what if she could also summon the black cat?
"No problem."
She gladly accepted Qiao Xiu's proposal to let her play tricks, passers-by didn't need to audition, she turned around and was about to leave, but she stopped before she could take a few steps.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, I want to know if let·it·go was written by you?"
This elf is also interested in the song "Let·It·Go"? Could it be that this song has a special effect that attracts elves.
"I'll keep this secret for the time being, do you have any purpose in asking this?"
She seems to be more interested in that song than whether she can participate in "This Demon Is Not Too Cold".
"A great song... It reminds me of my hometown. ”
She said as she brushed the ends of her blonde hair, sliding some of her silver-white hair from her ear.
"This is the hair color peculiar to the frost elves who live in the ice fields near the Frost Country, and this race must have disappeared when I was a child." Ciri whispered in Joshy's ear.
Ciri is from the Land of Frost, and Qiao Xiu has been with her for so long, even if Ciri didn't tell Qiao Xiu, Qiao Xiu could vaguely guess, and this elf seems to have a certain connection with the Land of Frost?
Hybrid? This question will wait for Qiao Xiu to continue to study in the future.
"Thank you for your appreciation, I'm looking forward to your performance tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and that's the end of today's audition! Thank you again to all the outstanding actors of the Black Swan Theatre Company. Qiao Xiu said.
