Actually ,nope. In shorts, A list comes from the Ulmer scale, it mainly measures bankability and star power of performers.
The Ulmer Scale is a 100-point, industry-standard ranking system created by James Ulmer in 1998 to measure the "bankability" (star power) of over 1,400 actors, determining their influence on film financing.
It ranks actors from A+ to D based on box office performance, professionalism, and promotion capability.(Los Angeles Times)
Ulmer Scale Ranking Hierarchy
A+ List: The "Superstars." Their name alone guarantees financing, even with no script. (e.g., Historically Will Smith, Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts, Tom Cruise).
A List: Top-tier stars. Sure bets if the script and director are right.
B+ List: Major recognized stars, but with higher risk regarding film packaging and salary.
B List: Widely recognized, reliable actors, often character actors or supporting leads.
C List: Well-known names, often for television or niche roles.
D List: "D-list" often describes celebrities below the main 1,400-actor ranking. (Reddit)
Key Metrics Considered
The scale is not just about popularity; it heavily weighs the following for studio greenlighting:
Bankability: Past box office performance. Professionalism: Reputation on set and professional demeanor. Promotional Willingness: Ability and eagerness to market films. Versatility: Range of roles the actor can play. (Wikipedia)
An S+ drama in Chinese entertainment refers to a top-tier, highest-budget production, signifying massive investment, A-list celebrity casting ("traffic stars"), and high-priority marketing.
It represents the highest internal ranking by platforms like Tencent, iQIYI, or Youku, aiming for massive popularity and high advertising revenue.
Platform Ranking :Tencent and iQIYI use S and S+ to rank their internal investments.
Viewership Tracking: Third-party services like Yunhe analyze if a drama is performing at an S+ level (viewership) compared to its production budget.
