Rebirth of the God of Comics

In the end, Chen Ze rented the house at a monthly rent of 150,000. In fact, according to the market price, the rental price of the house here is at least 18,000 yuan, but Chen Ze rented it for a long time, and this Mr. Wang happened to be his fan.

So in the end, a deal at such a pretty cheap price.

Finally, the house problem was solved, and Chen Ze could go back to work with peace of mind. In this way, Chen Ze quickly resumed his three jobs of manga, animation, and shop-watching.

In this way, another month passed, and the time came to late October. An investigation initiated by the Ministry of Culture, a government department, caught Chen Ze's attention.

China in this time and space is a big country of comics. Naturally, the country pays considerable attention to the comics industry and will give support in various policies.

Especially the Ministry of Culture, every year there will be some activities, rankings, surveys and so on. Because it is official, it has considerable authority. Those who can occupy the forefront in this kind of investigation activities are basically the pillars of the Huaxia comics industry.

This year, the Ministry of Culture released another survey on the Internet. This survey involved many rankings. For example, "your favorite manga protagonist", "your favorite manga supporting character", "which manga has the greatest influence on you" and so on.

But what attracts the most attention from netizens is "your favorite cartoonist" and "the ranking of Chinese cartoonists".

These two seem to overlap, but are not really an option. The first one is to let fans choose their favorite cartoonists, that is, to fight for the popularity of major cartoonists. at this point. Naturally, cartoonists who are still serializing comics have an advantage.

And the "ranking of Chinese cartoonists" refers to the historical status of cartoonists. It is what contribution and influence their comics have to the comics industry and society as a whole, and what they have done for the development of the comics industry.

You must know that the history of Chinese comics in this time and space has been going on for decades, and naturally a large number of outstanding and outstanding cartoonists have emerged. It goes without saying that Zhang Jiyi was from the Mesozoic era or Li Mingyang was from the golden generation. There are also so-called excellent cartoonists from ancient times before Li Mingyang.

Although the comics of those cartoonists are a bit outdated today, they are the leaders who created the comics industry. It can be said that without them, there would be no comics industry in China as a whole.

In particular, an old cartoonist named Wang Shoushi, he was the first to apply the shooting method of filming to comics. It can be said to be the pioneer of modern comics.

When Chen Ze heard about his deeds for the first time, he immediately thought of Osamu Tezuka from the island country in his previous life. The achievements and contributions of the two people are almost exactly the same.

Naturally, the status in the comics industry is similar.

Although this Wang Shoushi has passed away for many years, in terms of his historical status in the comics industry, only Li Mingyang, who promoted comics from children's books that are not doing business properly in the eyes of the society, to comics that everyone in China loves to read, can On a par with him.

Considering Li Mingyang's achievements that no one can match, no matter in terms of sales or peripherals. In the eyes of everyone, he was able to stabilize Wang Shoushi and become the number one manga in Chinese history.

Although Chen Ze has made some achievements now, several comics in a row are big sellers. But this is only an achievement standing on their shoulders. To surpass them, Chen Ze still has a lot to do.

In previous years, the Ministry of Culture did not vote for rankings with such historical status. Although everyone believed that Li Mingyang and Wang Shoushi ranked first and second, but there was no official confirmation. This time the Ministry of Culture launched such a vote, which is equivalent to an official ranking.

And more importantly, in the ranking of the second historical position, the people who can vote are not just netizens. And there are also all kinds of veteran media reporters.

This combination of netizens and media reporters can avoid becoming a pure popularity competition in the end. It can also avoid becoming a seniority ranking. It can be said that combining the two is the fairest way.

Therefore, the results of this selection can be said to be the most valuable, the most interesting, and the most watched online voting selection in these years. The major portal websites also started reporting early on.

Chen Ze saw this news on the TT portal, and only then did he know that the Ministry of Culture had already started such a voting on the Internet.

Some time ago, Chen Ze was either busy with the theater version or moving house, but he really didn't notice that there was such a vote. Now that voting has started, he just saw the news.

Following the link in the news, Chen Ze entered the official website of the Ministry of Culture voting. There are more than ten votes of various kinds, but the most conspicuous ones, the ones at the top are "Your Favorite Cartoonist" and "Ranking of Chinese Cartoonists".

Here, it can also be seen that not only netizens, but even officials consider these two to be the most important awards in the competition. The first is the popularity of the cartoonist, and the second is the historical status of the cartoonist.

Both are very important, but when it comes to criticality, the second is naturally more critical and more interesting.

Every era has its own popular cartoonists, but not all of them have left their names in history, and some people will remember your achievements decades later. Especially in the current fierce competition in the comics industry, maybe you are popular today, but will be forgotten by the public tomorrow.

Chen Ze was also curious about these two rankings, especially the second one. He clicked on the first evaluation and looked at the current voting situation of netizens.

Sure enough, the situation did not go beyond his expectations. With Chen Ze's current popularity, he naturally entered the third place in this competition. On his head, the first place is Li Mingyang.

And the second place is a pair named Wu Jiahao and Li Shenghao. Chen Ze has heard of these two people, the absolute second person of the golden generation back then, the pioneer of fighting comics. Together with Li Mingyang, the comics were promoted to the whole country.

The fighting comics they created conquered all the comic fans in China at that time with their fist-to-body realistic style. And it has had a huge impact on later generations. All fighting comics in later generations are based on their comics. Even today, there is no fighting cartoonist who can surpass them.

Even without Li Mingyang, their status and popularity would definitely be much higher.

Chen Ze is not a person who likes to care about rankings. Being overwhelmed by such two people plus Li Mingyang, Chen Ze didn't think it was a big deal for him to be ranked third.

After exiting the first page of selection options, Chen Ze clicked into the second one. The second one was different. Not only did Chen Ze fail to enter the top three, he didn't even enter the top five. He is currently only ranked eighth.

The first and second places, no surprise, were Li Mingyang and Wang Shoushi.

Chen Ze was a little surprised that he was ranked eighth on this list. It's not that I was surprised that my ranking was too low, but that I ranked so high.

He has only debuted for three years. Although he has indeed made a lot of achievements, his qualifications are still relatively low. Unexpectedly, the media and netizens would rank him eighth. This really surprised Chen Ze .

In fact, Chen Ze also underestimated his own influence. It is true that his current qualifications are quite shallow, even a little better than rookies. But judging from his achievements, many consecutive national-level comics have an unparalleled appeal in the hearts of netizens.

More importantly, he is only twenty-three years old, and his future achievements are still limitless. It is precisely because of his potential that so many media reporters and netizens rated him eighth.

They even believed that Chen Ze would still have an upward trend in the future. If they were to be judged ten or twenty years later, then Chen Ze would probably directly enter the top three. As for how high it can reach, only a genius knows.

After reading his ranking, Chen Ze looked up and found another interesting thing. The combination of Wu Jiahao and Li Shenghao who had created the genre of fighting comics that was above him in the first popularity ranking was actually above him again, ranking seventh.

It's a little too predestined relationship between myself and them. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users, please go to read.)
