"Is there a hierarchy of cartoonists?"

Xia Lan had never heard of this at all in his previous life, and he was very curious about it, maybe the star has a few lines of ratings, but the cartoonist really doesn't have a boundary. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Well, you don't even know this, I really don't know where you got all this knowledge of ACG for so many years."

Yuriko Aoki, who has become accustomed to Xia Lan's ignorance in common sense, is in charge of her explanation.

Originally, there was no clear hierarchy in the cartoonist industry, just like some novelists, looking at the sales of each other's works to roughly determine whether they were god-level writers or best-sellers.

But over time, affected by the entertainment trend, just like celebrity ratings, people have roughly divided the ranks of creators from all walks of life on the Internet.

For example, some people who write novels and draw comics on the post bar to entertain themselves are counted as wild-level, and those who can sign contracts through the Internet are third-tier, and the authors serialized in physical magazine publishing are all second-tier or above.

But such a rating obviously does not have much credibility, and each author has his own fan base, and does not think that his favorite work will be worse than others.

It's like evaluating a novel as a masterpiece on the Internet, but there will be many people who will disdain it, and such garbage can also be rated as a masterpiece, how cheap is a masterpiece?

In the eyes of most people, the serializers of the four major comic magazines are always better than the serialized authors of other small magazines, right?

As Shueisha's largest circulation book, Shonen Weekly JUMP is the best-selling juvenile comic book in the 11th region and even in the entire Central Asian region, and its influence is not insignificant.

Therefore, as the official manga council of the empire, it was decided that if a manga artist who can be serialized in "Shonen Weekly JUMP" is an example, at least he has the strength recognized by a first-line manga magazine, so he will be a first-line manga artist by default.

Compared with the second-rate, third-rate or even non-mainstream comic books, the serialized cartoonists of the top comic magazines are all known as 'teachers' in the industry.

Being serialized in four major manga magazines is an achievement that many manga artists cannot achieve in their lifetimes.

Among them, Shueisha, Shogakukan, Kodansha, and Hwa Chung Sha are the four major magazine publishing giants in the imperial comic industry in Central Asia, and they are the top manga magazines.

First-line cartoonists have begun to have the qualifications to impact star cartoonists, and the star title is the supreme field pursued by great god cartoonists.

The title of star cartoonist is not permanent, if the popularity of the work is sluggish, the quality declines, and the work is cut in half, and the work that satisfies the comic council cannot be drawn in time, then soon, the popularity ranking of the cartoonist will decline, and the star cartoonist whose popularity value does not meet the standard will cancel the star certification and return to the next level of first-class cartoonist.

It is impossible to speak of the Senate without mentioning the clear classification of cultural works in this world. Whether it's a cartoonist, a novelist, or any artist, there is a mechanism for judging popularity.

In the case of the Manga Council, for example, thousands of new serialized manga are graded every year, from all ages to those over 12 years old, to R15 and R18.

The rating of a cartoonist is determined by the rating of the work, and both quality and quantity are factors that improve the rating of a cartoonist.

Just like some stars, no movie can be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so make a few more memorable, so that you can also achieve the effect of becoming a household name.

The score of the work is based on the scores given by the 180 resident members of the Council, and the average result is used as the initial score of the work, and then the results of the initial score are published on the ACGN scoring network to start the next level of scoring.

Voted by millions of netizens, only certified users with an ACGN rating network level of 10 or above can participate in the scoring.

There are nine levels of evaluation of works, ranked from low to high: F-level dung, E-level slag, D-level ordinary, C-level good, B-level excellent, A-level excellent, S-level classic, SS-level palace level, SSS-level fantasy level.

The evaluation of these works directly affects the author's personal popularity value, if you draw an S-level classic work, it's not impossible to want a comic god, and there are one or two people who are promoted to star cartoonists with an S-level work.

However, such a person who is upgraded to a star cartoonist with a S-level work, if the follow-up plot fails to maintain the same level until the end, it will easily return to the first-line level, and the title of star is not valid forever.

There is no S level or above cartoonists in the level of the works created, and they can only rely on the number to increase their popularity, and several A-level works are equivalent to the influence of an S-level work.

In the suffocating competition of top manga magazines like the Big Four Manga Weekly, each issue has a limited number of serialized works, ranging from 20 to 25 works.

If you want to keep the serialized position in a total of only 20 manga works, you must get a ranking above the middle of the middle in the readers' replies in each issue, otherwise it will be easy to enter the half-cut sequence.

Every day, there are countless new and old manga artists who continue to submit articles to the four major magazines, and every issue has a new person on the throne, and the old man's manga has been cut in half, and if your work is not interesting enough, it is a dream to be serialized in the shonen weekly JUMP.

As long as the comics that can be serialized for 20 consecutive issues in the four major comic magazines are basically A-level works, some ACG otaku like to use such a standard to measure the quality of a work.

"A comic that can't serialize twenty issues can't be better than a B-grade."

With such a prejudice, it is common for short comics to have a B-grade or lower evaluation.

"I see, in this way, Aoki-sensei's "hideout" is only B-grade at best."

Xia Lan nodded understandingly, it turns out that the comics of this world will be subdivided into so many levels, I don't know what level of works like "Full-time Hunter" can be counted, at least it should be above S level, right?

Instead of discussing this meaningless topic again, Yuriko Aoki changed the subject and said, "You've done this storyboard, I need new materials, can you do me another favor?" ”

Xia Lan: "What's the busy?" ”

"Help me take a picture~" When she said this, her face was already like a red apple.

Huh? Photograph? Xia Lan didn't understand what she wanted to do, and asked again, "What are you doing taking pictures?" ”

"Didn't you say it before? Material! I take a picture first, and then design the person's movements in the frame of the reference photo. Didn't you look at my photo album? ”

"Material? Isn't that your excuse? Xia Lan thought of the half-naked photos she had seen before, and Yuriko Aoki posed in various bizarre poses, revealing her graceful body.

"I'm using that as a reference material in the comics, do you think I'm a selfie fanatic with a special fetish?"

Yuriko Aoki clenched her fists, eager to punch him in the nose, although she had some pride and superiority in her figure when taking pictures, but those photos were all actions she used as a reference in the manga, and they were definitely not a special hobby......

"My unicorn arm...... Oh no, it's photography skills, but after ten years of practice, you're satisfied! ”

Xia Lan showed a pure smile, like the eyes of the big bad wolf staring at Little Red Riding Hood, where should I start first......

PS: In the first few chapters, the identity of the assistant was slightly modified, but it was just to help, so I didn't want to be an assistant~ The assistant is no longer a cartoonist, the title of the book or something, don't care about %......
