"Joining a guild is not that easy, you usually need someone to introduce you to it. After joining, you have to pay a guild fee, which is usually charged according to the actor's level. Each group actor needs to pay two points to the guild for each performance, and the higher level doubles the guild fee, which is basically about twenty percent of the pay for each performance." The little white face continued his explanation.
"A performance is only ten points of pay, I'm brainwashed to give 2 to the guild for nothing." The female white collar is getting more and more incomprehensible about the existence of the guild.
"Of course joining the guild will not just pay points to the guild for nothing, there are many benefits."
"The guild is prestigious and has some benefits coming and going with other guilds. For example, in a performance that requires an actor to hang up, the person with the initiative might exclude you from being a hunting target in the first place for fear of retaliation from your guild."
"Maybe a certain scene, you were bound to die, but because of the existence of the guild, the other party has scruples, thus turning the target to someone else, a few points for a life, is it worth it?"
"Another example is that guild members who pay points or do things for the guild can get contribution degrees. With the contribution degree, you can rent some high-grade performance props that you can't possibly afford from the guild warehouse for free or a small amount of rent, and you can even learn all kinds of skills that you can't get from the senior actors in the guild."
"Members of the same guild who star in the same production will all be cast in the same camp. Studio City officials also recognize this cooperation and will give priority to the needs of members of the same guild when arranging roles."
"If a guild member is attacked and killed by another guild or unguilded actor during a performance, the murderer will automatically be on the guild's bounty hunt list, and any guild member who opens the terminal will have the bounty task automatically pop up. Other guild members who find the murderer, or encounter the murderer on the same set, and get rid of the murderer by hand to successfully avenge the victims of this guild, will get the corresponding reward of points as well as contribution."
"The guild, for actors struggling to survive in the film city, is a protective umbrella."
"When it rains, everyone else has an umbrella and you don't, you could be the one who gets wet and then dies of illness."
When the little white man said this, he looked at Mallory with a gaze with some playfulness.
Mallory frowned.
It's really a hornet's nest!
But he couldn't do anything about it, it was Rick's mother and son who came over to provoke him one after another, and if he didn't kill them back, they would kill him.
"Our Silver Wolf Guild is not a big guild, and there are only about six hundred guild members. There are only about three hundred people in the guild above the group level, and there are only a dozen elders of the Grand Special Contract. Congratulations, you have successfully entered the Silver Wolf Guild's bounty list for hunting, hey, soon you will be ..."
"Please stop your intimidation and go back to the telling of the issue itself." The director interrupted the little white guy.
"I'm almost done answering this question, the guild is such an organization, the Silver Wolf Guild welcomes every actor to join. Of course, one needs to be introduced by someone like me and then pass the guild's initiation test to do so." The little white face ended his answer to the first question and looked at the man with glasses.
"I'll get rid of the boss!" The man with glasses had a flattering expression on his face, and it was obvious that he was now looking forward to joining the Silver Wolf Guild.
After the little white face's answer was over, it was the sunglasses woman's turn to answer.
The question was asked by the female white collar.
"What I want to know is that we can only earn 10 points for a scene, and if we are lucky, we can earn 15 points. However, this amount of points will be gone after a meal, not to mention buying clothes and so on. It is impossible to have extra points to lower the height of stone pillars, and upgrades and so on, much less to take points to support any guild. How did you actors who managed to upgrade save points to do all this?" The female white collar asked a question that she was confused about.
If you can't upgrade, you can only earn basic points, if you earn basic points, it's hard to have savings, if you don't have savings, you can't level up, and if you can't level up, you can still only earn basic points. This is all a deadly cycle. And not move to deduct 1000 points, directly into wax.
If this is a game, the difficulty of this game is too high, simply not the average player can play.
"It's really hard for pure newcomers to earn points, unless they challenge some special performances to stand out from the group." The sunglasses woman answered the female white collar.
"Special performances?"
"Well, after a newcomer performs two or three, or at most four or five performances, Film City may arrange an opportunity for an extra performance. The rules for this extra performance are different from those for regular performances, with more risk, but more points to be earned. Some extra performances are mandatory and some are not. Mandatory ones must be attended and non-mandatory ones can be opted out."
"After upgrading there are more avenues to earn points, to earn points faster to break even or even make a surplus, I was able to save enough points to upgrade because I participated in several high-risk performances and managed to survive." The sunglasses woman answered the female white collar.
The question was not very difficult and of little value, and the director only paid the sunglasses woman 1 point.
Next it was Robin's turn to ask the white boy a question.
"It's obviously not reasonable for a large guild like your Silver Wolves to bully a newcomer together, right? Is there no newcomer protection or anything like that? If this continues, how can newcomers play in Film City?" Robin was obviously looking for a way out for Mallory and himself, otherwise, if people like them were targeted by Silver Wolf Guild and kept being hunted by bounties, even if they had three heads and six arms, they wouldn't be able to win against these old actors and actresses.
The little white face hesitated and did not seem to want to answer this question, but under the urging of the director, still had to speak.
"Newcomer protection is certainly there, and it's not bad at all. A newcomer here is defined as a group act that is not in a guild and is at or below the level of a heel group."
"When a newcomer performs, if the character he plays is killed by a member who has joined the guild organization, he will not immediately be deducted 1000 points to turn into a wax figure, but will be forced to participate in a hell mode performance, and if he survives the hell mode performance, he will be exempted from the punishment of turning into a wax figure." The little white face ended his explanation.
The sunglasses woman also listened attentively to the little white face, obviously, according to the classification in the expression of the little white face, she now also belongs to the category of newcomers.
"You mean Mallory this time, if he is not a real ghost and the old demon woman is a real ghost, he will not be directly deducted points to turn into a wax figure when he is killed by the old demon woman, but will have a chance of newcomer protection and will be forced to participate in the hell mode performance?" Robin continued to ask.
"Can we not use the name old demon woman? It's disrespectful to the deceased." Little White Face protested to Robin.
"The protest is valid, but no points will be awarded for incomplete answers to the question about newcomer protection." The director opened his mouth.
"Well ... about newcomer protection, let me add a few more points, just what I know, what I don't know I can't say."
"If the newcomer is participating in a confrontation-style performance, the newcomer has a chance to self-destruct if the newcomer and the guild members are in two opposing camps during the confrontation-style performance."
"This self-explosion is limited to confrontation-style performances, and the newcomer, finding victory hopeless, may consider violating the plot setting by initiating a self-explosion to forcibly kill the guild member of the opposing camp who plays a major role in the plot."
"Once a newcomer initiates a self-explosion, the newcomer will be forced into a Hell Mode performance regardless of the outcome and whether or not the guild member is killed."
"If the guild member is killed by the newcomer's self-explosion, if the account balance is more than 100 points, 100 points will be deducted and the show will continue. If the balance in the guild member's account is less than 100 points and that member is in a major role, the show ends, the guild member is out on the spot, and the points become negative to be sealed into wax!"
"Therefore, guild members hunting newcomers also have a great risk, and must always be alert to the newcomer's self-destruction. Especially guild members with account balances of less than 100 points must be wary of the backlash caused by newcomers blowing themselves up to forcefully interrupt the show."
"In a sense, newcomer self-detonation deters guild members from hunting and killing newcomers."
"Of course, once a newcomer initiates a self-detonation, he or she will be forced to participate in the Hell Mode performance, and is no different in nature from becoming a wax figure." Little White Face added a few words in reply.
The director approved of Little White Face's answer and gave him a reward of 3 points.
"What's the Hell Mode performance like? Is it hard? Why do you say it's not essentially different from turning into a wax figure?" Robin continued to ask.
