Jiang Yuan quickly went through the performance that just happened in the practice room in his mind.
Although the character auditioned today is nominally the heroine, strictly speaking, she should be ranked second, which is Laura, the lover of the male protagonist in the story.
The overall story of "The Invisible Guest" is that the male protagonist and Laura accidentally killed a person while driving their car on the road where they had an affair.
Laura originally wanted to call the police, but the male protagonist chose to hide it, resulting in a series of tense stories full of twists and turns.
The story structure itself is extremely exciting, and it also has high requirements for the actors.
For example, the actor who auditioned just now is named Yu Xiaoyu. He has a background in performing arts films. As Li Xing and others praised him, he has good acting skills.
After Jiang Yuan carefully reviewed the performance, he didn't find any problems with the other party's interpretation of the character.
And this is just an audition. Generally speaking, this kind of actor will be more suitable for the role when the performance officially starts.
"I think it's pretty good, let's see how the others do." Jiang Yuan replied after thinking.
Hearing Jiang Yuan's answer, He Dingding nodded and added Yu Xiaoyu to the list of candidates.
However, there was more than one actor auditioning today, so we really can’t make a final decision. We need to take another look.
"Then let's start the next audition." Morkan nodded and made his decision.
It happened that the next actor was already in place. After the staff informed him, the door of the practice room was pushed open again.

Barry wrote and drew on paper, and finally decided to follow the ideas in the book and start with the latest case of Miss Brent's death.
It was already known that the place where the crime occurred was an isolated island, and Miss Brent died of poison injected by a pinhole.
Then the person who owns the syringe is obviously the most suspicious person.
Of all the characters, only the doctor, Armstrong, is most likely to carry a hypodermic syringe.
Under the gaze of the other four people, Armstrong also admitted that he did carry a hypodermic syringe.
However, when everyone went upstairs to look through the doctor's bag, they found that the syringe had disappeared, and the truth became confusing again.
But Miss Brent's death finally gave the remaining five people a greater sense of crisis.
Everyone decided to find all the life-threatening items carried by others, such as drugs, pistols, etc., in order to avoid danger.
I watched the characters in the book collect deadly objects, first lock them in the silver cabinet, and then lock the small cabinet in the large cupboard. The keys were given to Longbottom and Blore for safekeeping.
Despite this, the fact that "one of several people is the murderer" is like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, making everyone more nervous, fearing that they will suddenly suffer a fatal blow at any time.
Barry had also devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plot, and he felt like he was on the scene, which made his nerves tense.
In this state, Barry also decisively gave up the idea of conducting more reasoning on his own, and instead gave himself completely to the story.
There were only five characters left, and they seemed to appear one by one before Barry's eyes.
And the scene is in a small villa, so Barry can conceive of such a scene in his mind without using too much imagination.
Five people gathered together in a villa on an isolated island in order to eliminate the fear in each other's hearts, and at the same time, they were also vigilant and monitoring each other.
It's a completely suffocating atmosphere.
In such an atmosphere, Vera couldn't sit still for the first time and wanted to go back to the room to wash her face and sober up.
When the door was pushed open, something unexpected happened.
"Isn't it right?" But at this time, Barry came back to his senses a little and looked at the nursery rhyme he had just copied manually.
His eyes fell on the sentence corresponding to the next death case.
[Five young soldiers, all working as lawyers; the imperial court sentenced them to death, and only four of the five were left.]
From the beginning of reading to the unclear understanding of this nursery rhyme, to now, the verses have been fulfilled one by one. In Barry's eyes, it can be regarded as a preview of the story.
And this sentence has very obvious characteristics, it is a lawyer, and it is sentenced to death by the imperial court.
Basically, Barry immediately locked the deceased on Judge Wargrave.
In fact, among the remaining people, Barry was the most suspicious of Wargrif.
From the first appearance to the follow-up, he has always occupied a dominant position, and at the same time, he fits the identity of the judge of this "trial".
This makes it difficult for Barry not to cast more doubts on this character.
The accuracy of the nursery rhyme made Barry feel that the object of his suspicion was about to die.
Sure enough, when Barry continued reading, Vera was just stunned in the room.
The sharp explosion he made before fainting also successfully attracted everyone in the living room into the room.
After everyone helped Vera calm down, everyone realized that Judge Wargrave was nowhere to be seen.
After everyone discovered this, they began to look for Wagrave.
Finally, everyone saw Vargrave in the small living room.
[Judge Wargrave sat on the back of a high chair at the other end of the room, with a burning candle on each side of his body... The judge wore a wig and a crimson robe.
.......]
It is a very ceremonial scene, as if Barry saw a lifelike oil painting through the words.
Dr. Armstrong was the first to examine the judge's cause of death.
The wig fell to the ground, revealing the bleeding bullet hole between Vargrave's eyebrows. He was obviously shot to death.
At this point, only four of the ten people are left.
In the story, another night of panic was spent. Everyone woke up, but before Barry could finish his analysis, he guessed which of the four people was more likely to be the murderer.
Another character he considered more suspicious - Armstrong, also disappeared.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After the judge, the doctor is also the target of his suspicion.
From Anthony who died of poison at the beginning, to Mrs. Rogers who died inexplicably, to Mrs. Brent who was injected with poison by a syringe.
No matter how you look at it, you feel that Armstrong has sufficient conditions to commit the crime.
But now, this suspect is quickly gone.
There were only three small porcelain figures left in the center of the living room table, which basically announced that Armstrong was dead.
[Four little soldiers go to the beach together; the herring swallows the belly, and only three of the four are left.]
Barry glanced at the nursery rhyme verses corresponding to Armstrong again, and began to wonder how Armstrong died.
There were only three people left alive at the same time, Vera, Blore and Colonel Longbottom.
With a very small number of people, it is still difficult for Barry to determine who the murderer is.
However, the atmosphere in the story seems a bit scary. After all, as long as one more person dies, theoretically the remaining people will directly confront the murderer.
Thinking of such a scene, Barry couldn't help but become nervous too.
However, although one of the little porcelain figures disappeared and Armstrong also disappeared, no body has been found yet.
Barry could only temporarily suppress his curiosity, but his previous suspicions rose again.
They began to speculate whether Armstrong's disappearance and the disappearance of the little porcelain man were just an illusion created by the other party.
Vera and others also made such a conjecture like Barry.
After breakfast, everyone tried to use the mirror on the island to ask for help from the other side, but there was no response at all.
The three of them searched Soldier Island again, but did not find the missing Armstrong.
At lunch time, because of mutual suspicion, Blore chose to go back to the house to have lunch alone.
Vera discussed her suspicions about Blore with Longbottom, guessing that he was the murderer.
While they were chatting, the two of them suddenly felt a shaking, which seemed to be mixed with someone's shouting.
The two decided to head towards the source of the sound together.
Walking around the house, the two found Blore.
[His head was smashed to pieces by a large piece of white marble, and he was lying on the stone steps to the east of the house with his arms spread out.]
Blore is dead, little soldier, there are only two left of the three.
The scene that Barry envisioned in his mind happened, and there were only two people left on the entire island.
But there is another uncertain factor, and that is Dr. Armstrong, who has disappeared.
At this time, Dr. Armstrong also became the hope of Vera and both of them, both of whom firmly believed that Blore's death must have been caused by Armstrong.
Both of them felt that Armstrong must have been hiding on the island. Longbottom decided to find the other person, but he was worried about Armstrong's power and postponed his actions.
But many times the drama of the story is always more gripping than life.
With Armstrong away, the two of them could put the blame on each other's head with peace of mind and remain calm for the time being.
The two of them stayed on the cliff, it was getting late, watching the sunset, and they thought about how to spend the night.
It was also at this time that Longbottom saw a piece of clothing on the rocks.
So the two of them got closer out of curiosity and discovered that it was not clothes, but a person.
Getting closer, and still closer, they saw Armstrong's face that had been soaked purple by the sea water.
Although it is just words, Barry seems to have been dragged into the story at this moment.
It seemed as if I could also see Armstrong's blue face and smell the salty sea breeze, but the whole world seemed to be silent at this moment.
Absolutely wonderful highlight moment.
Barry couldn't help but feel a little shuddering.
Since he started reading "No Survival", one of Barry's most intuitive feelings is that there are climaxes one after another, which are thrilling and full of doubts at the same time.
Starting from Anthony, everyone lost their lives one by one in the way predicted by the nursery rhyme.
The death of each character stimulated Barry's spiritual senses.
At the same time, I couldn't help but wonder who would lead this trial.
Now, Armstrong's body has been found, and there are only two people left on the entire island.
[Three little soldiers, playing in the zoo; a slap from the bear, and only two are left out of three.]
Barry recalled the last nursery rhyme, and then noticed that the marble that Vera mentioned just now that killed Blore had a bear pattern carved on it.
The nursery rhyme comes true once again.
This also made Barry quickly start checking the next sentence.
[Two little soldiers were basking in the sun; the poisonous sun took away their lives, leaving only one of them.]
Barry couldn't figure out the description of the nursery rhyme at the moment, and he didn't know how it would be fulfilled.
But the reaction of Vera and Longbottom, and how they will get along next, is the drama that Barry wants to see.
With such strong expectations, the story continues to turn pages.
The confrontation between the two came quickly and began after a long silence.
With only the last two people left on the island, the outcome was already obvious.
After a brief look at each other, Vera and Longbottom each had their own answers.
["How did the stone bear trick work?"]
【"magic......."】
The questions and answers between Vera and Longbottom were immediately clear.
Barry couldn't help but be a little surprised, obviously he had never thought that the murderer would be Longbottom.
why?
Barry thought about it over and over, but couldn't figure it out.
After pinching the thickness of the book page, which was about a quarter, Barry knew that things were not that simple.
And my confusion should be answered in the following content.
In the end, only Vera was left, and Longbottom also said that he had shown off his cards, stopped pretending, and showed his true face.
At this time, Vera proposed to drag Armstrong's body out of the sea and put it in a safe place.
Longbottom seemed to feel that Vera would not pose any threat to him, so he agreed to this request.
But after dragging Armstrong out of the sea, Longbottom smelled an unusual danger.
The gun originally placed in his pocket had disappeared, and Longbottom understood instantly.
Vera had already stolen the pistol from Longbottom before she knew it.
Barry was a little surprised, he didn't expect the fight between the two to happen so quickly.
And before turning two pages, the fight was over.
When Longbottom tried to grab the pistol, Vera pulled the trigger.
Longbottom's body paused in the air, and then fell heavily to the ground, with the bullet hitting his heart.
At this point, only Vera and nine other corpses were left on Soldier Island.
The progress was so rapid that the page in Barry's hand still had about a quarter of its thickness left.
At the same time, curiosity became stronger than ever.
Why did this trial begin? Is Longbottom really the real murderer? Did one person kill everyone else?
What roles did others play?
All these things made Barry extremely curious.
And more importantly, Barry set his sights on the last line of the nursery rhyme.
The previous nine sentences have been fulfilled one by one, and now the last sentence is left.
[A little soldier, all alone; after spending his whole life, there is not a single one left.]
If the first few nursery rhymes were artificially achieved, Barry would still be able to understand them.
But now at the last moment, Barry is really curious about what Vera will choose.
