Chapter 270

Finally, Chen Ze rented the house at a monthly rent of 150000 yuan. In fact, according to the market price, the rental price of the house here is at least 18 thousand yuan. It's just that Chen Ze has been renting for a long time, and Mr. Wang happens to be his fan.

So at the end of the day, it's a pretty cheap deal.

Finally solved the problem of the house, Chen Ze can work with ease again. In this way, Chen Ze soon resumed his three tasks of cartoon, animation and store watching.

Another month passed, and the time came to late October. An investigation launched by the Ministry of culture, a government department, attracted Chen Ze's attention.

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

The Ministry of culture, in particular, conducts activities, rankings and surveys every year. It's official, so it's quite authoritative. In this kind of investigation activities can occupy the forefront, is basically the pillar of the Chinese cartoon industry.

This year, the Ministry of culture published another survey on the Internet. This survey covers a lot of rankings. For example, "your favorite comic protagonist", "your favorite comic supporting role", "which comic has the greatest impact on you" and so on.

But the most popular netizens are "your favorite cartoonist" and "the ranking of Chinese cartoonists".

The two seem to coincide, but in fact they are not one option. The first is to let the fans choose the cartoonists they like, that is, to fight for the popularity of the major cartoonists. At this point, naturally, cartoonists who are still serializing comics have an advantage.

The "ranking of Chinese cartoonists" compares the historical status of cartoonists, the contribution and influence of their comics to the comics industry and the whole society, and the contribution they have made to the development of the comics industry.

We should know that the history of Chinese comics in this time and space has been for decades, among which a large number of outstanding cartoonists have emerged. It's not necessary to say that Zhang Jiyi or Li Ming's golden generation were also excellent cartoonists in ancient times before Li Ming's.

Although the comics of those cartoonists are out of date today, they are the pioneers in the comic industry. It can be said that without them, there would be no cartoon industry in China.

In particular, Wang Shoushi, an old cartoonist, was the first one to apply the technique of shot splitting to comics. He can be said to be the founder of modern comics.

The first time Chen Ze heard of his deeds, he immediately thought of the previous life of the island's Tezuka pest control. Almost as like as two peas, the two men have achieved almost the same achievements.

Although Wang Shoushi has passed away for many years, in terms of his historical position in the comic industry, only Li Mingyang, who popularizes the comic books from the children's books in the eyes of society to the comic books loved by everyone in China, can be compared with him.

Considering Li Mingyang's outstanding achievements in both sales and surrounding areas, in the eyes of the public, he was able to stabilize Wang Shoushi and become the number one comic in the history of China.

Although Chen Ze has made some achievements now, several comics in a row are selling well. But it's just an achievement on their shoulders. Chen Ze has a lot to do to surpass them.

In previous years, the Ministry of culture did not vote for this historical position. Although everyone thought that Li Mingyang and Wang Shoushi ranked first and second, there has been no official confirmation. This time, the Ministry of culture launched such a vote, which is equivalent to an official ranking.

What's more, in the second ranking of historical status, the people who can vote are not only netizens, but also senior media reporters.

This combination of netizens and media reporters can not only avoid the competition of pure popularity, but also avoid the evolution of seniority. It can be said that it is the most fair way to combine the two.

Therefore, the result of this election can be said to be the most valuable and interesting online voting contest in recent years. The major portal websites also started to report early.

It was on the TT portal that Chen Ze saw the news that he realized that the Ministry of culture had already started such a voting contest on the Internet.

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

Following the news link, Chen Ze entered the official website of the Ministry of culture. There are more than ten votes, but the most prominent ones are "your favorite cartoonist" and "the ranking of Chinese cartoonists".

Here, it can be seen that not only netizens, but also officials think these two are the most important awards. The first is the popularity of cartoonists, the second is the historical status of cartoonists.Both of them are very important, but as far as the crux is concerned, naturally they are the second, more important and more attractive.

Every era has its own era of popular cartoonists, but not all of them are famous in history. Some people will remember your achievements decades later. Especially in the current situation of fierce competition in the cartoon industry, maybe you are hot today and forgotten by the public tomorrow.

Chen Ze is also curious about these two rankings, especially the second one. He opened the first contest and looked at the voting situation of netizens.

Sure enough, the situation did not come out of his expectation. With Chen Ze's popularity, he naturally came in the third place in this competition. In his head, the first is Li Ming.

And the second place is a pair of combination named Wu Jiahao and Li Shenghao. These two men, Chen Ze, are also the absolute second of the golden generation and the founder of fighting cartoon. Together with Li Mingyang, the cartoon has been promoted to the whole country.

The fighting cartoon created by them conquered all the fans of China at that time with the realistic style of boxing to meat. And it has brought great influence to later generations. All the fighting comics of later generations are based on their comics. Even today, there is no fighting cartoonist who can surpass them.

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

Chen Ze is not a person who likes to care about the ranking. He is pressed by such two people and Li Ming, and he ranks third. Chen Ze doesn't think it's any problem.

After leaving the first selection page, Chen Ze went to the second one. This second one is different. Chen Ze did not enter the top three or even the top five. Now, he's just in eighth place.

The first and second place, no surprise is Li Mingyang and Wang Shoushi.

Chen Ze was a bit surprised that he ranked eighth in the list. It's not an accident that I rank too low, but I rank so high.

He has only been on the road for three years. Although he has made great achievements, his qualifications are still shallow. Unexpectedly, the media and netizens have ranked him eighth. This is really a surprise to Chen Ze.

In fact, Chen Ze also underestimated his influence. Indeed, his current qualifications are quite shallow, even a little better than the newcomers. However, judging from his achievements, a number of national cartoons in succession have incomparable appeal in the hearts of netizens.

What's more, he is only 23 years old, and his future achievements are limitless. It is because of his potential that so many media reporters and netizens rated him eighth.

Even they think that Chen Ze is still on the rise in the future. If they are allowed to evaluate Chen Ze in 10 or 20 years' time, Chen Ze will be directly in the top three. As for how high it can reach, only genius knows.

After reading his ranking, Chen Ze looked up and found another interesting thing. Wu Jiahao and Li Shenghao, who created the fighting cartoon genre in the first popularity ranking, were ranked seventh.

I'm a little bit predestined with them.
