Is He Really The Protagonist?

As Xiao Bosheng expected, the starry sky could indeed be seen from the balcony of this room.

There are not many lights in the old city at night. There is only one streetlight dozens of meters away. They are scattered on the roadside. The dim lights can only illuminate less than ten square meters of the road.

The balcony of the bedroom faces the dark Jiangliu Wetland Park, and the night sky is full of stars. Although I am in the city, I feel like I am in the countryside.

Fortunately, Blue Star attaches great importance to environmental protection in the process of industrialization. If you were on Earth, you would have to be in a rural area to see such a starry sky, but in Blue Star, as long as there is not too much light interference, it will be fine.

The happiest thing in life is to sleep until you wake up naturally.

If being awakened by a nightmare on time can be considered a natural awakening, Xiao Bosheng is undoubtedly very happy.

I took out my phone and saw that the group was quiet and there were no tasks for the time being.

After saying good morning to his young apprentice, Xiao Posheng got up, washed up, and started today's general cleaning. There is actually no clutter in the house, mainly because it has been unoccupied for a long time and a lot of dust has accumulated, so cleaning is not difficult.

It took me two hours to clean up, scald the kitchen utensils, and then go out to eat.

There are many restaurants and breakfast stalls downstairs in the community. I bought an egg-filled pancake, but when I was paying, I realized that I had forgotten to bring my mobile phone.

The stall owner was a man in his fifties. Xiao Posheng said awkwardly that he had forgotten to bring his mobile phone. The stall owner smiled and gave him the cake: "It's okay. Eat it first. The payment will be the same next time."

Xiao Bosheng didn't answer, but turned around and ran back to the community, leaving only his voice in the air: "I'll go back and get it now."

Picking up the phone from the bed, he found that there was a missed call from Haicheng.

Haicheng is a coastal city that can be called the economic center of southern China. It is extremely prosperous, but why does he have a phone number there?

If he remembered correctly, apart from the three of them, Xue Fenfei, he knew no one in Haicheng, let alone anyone who would call him.

Xiao Bosheng called back, and the other party quickly picked up the call.

"Hello?"

On the other side was a sweet female voice: "Hi, hello, I'm the customer service staff of Xiaopo Station. Congratulations..."

Xiao Bosheng hung up the phone. Aren't the scam calls all from overseas? Why are they still from China?

After paying, I took the still-warm egg-filled pancake from the stall owner and walked towards the bus stop.

It was a bit far from the subway station, but there were several bus stops. He planned to go to a piano store to buy a piano. The living room of the new house is very large and can accommodate many musical instruments.

While waiting for the bus, the phone call came again, and Xiao Bosheng hung up immediately. Soon the other party called again, and he hung up again.

This time he didn't call again. After a while, a text message popped up on his phone.

Because he had just scanned the code to pay the fare, he saw this text message.

‘Hello, I am the customer service staff of Xiaopo Station. Congratulations on reaching one million fans. Please complete your personal information as soon as possible so that we can mail souvenirs. Because your work "Naruto" is of excellent quality and has a large number of viewers, if you have any related projects that you would like to cooperate with, please answer the phone. ’

I took a look at Xiaopozhan’s personal homepage and found 1.056 million fans. Emmmm, it turns out it’s not a scam call.

This time he picked up the call and it was still the same female voice.

"Hello."

"Hello, is this Xingchen?"

"right."

"You should have seen the content of the text message. It's like this. Because your work Naruto is of high quality, our animation department wants to get authorization to adapt it into animation. We need to meet with you to discuss it. You see, you have time. Come to Haicheng?"

Xiao Bosheng thought for a while: "There is no time."

"Then are you free? Our people can go find you."

"That's okay. I'm in Jiangcheng. Just call me when you come. I'll come over when I have time."

"Okay, we will also bring your million fans souvenir along the way."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Bosheng quickly put the matter behind him. Whether it was serializing Naruto or releasing songs, they were just things he found to stop his random thoughts. If one day he is no longer troubled by the question of 'who am I', it is possible that the Hokage will stop writing on the spot.

Naturally, he would not object if Naruto had the opportunity to make an animation, as long as it did not affect his current rhythm of life, and going to Haicheng now would obviously affect his rhythm.

The people from Xiaopo Station came quite quickly. While Xiao Bosheng was still playing with the piano he bought yesterday to get a feel for it, the phone rang.

"Hello."

"Hi, hello, we called you yesterday and came to sign a contract with you. Is it convenient to meet you now?"

"Oh, okay, where are you? I'll come over now."

The other party gave him an address, and Xiao Posheng took a taxi and went there.

The meeting place was a coffee shop. When I walked in, I saw a man and a woman sitting next to me.

The man is in a suit and leather shoes, sitting upright with a briefcase beside him, and the woman is looking around in a white shirt and jeans. The behavior of the two people was incompatible with other people who were looking at the computer and chatting. It seemed that they were the people they were looking for.

Xiao Bosheng walked over: "Hello?"

The older man saw him and smiled kindly: "Xingchen?"

"right."

The man greeted enthusiastically: "Please take a seat. I am Hong Qiang, one of the leaders of the animation department of Xiaopo Station, and this is my assistant Xiao Li. Do you want something to drink?"

"I am Xingchen, my real name is Xiao Bosheng, bleak Xiao, indifferent Bo, Richengsheng. I don't like drinking coffee very much, so I won't drink it."

"Oh, let's get straight to the point. Although Xiao Li called you before and told you his intention, I'd better say it again."

Xiao Bosheng glanced at the beautiful beauty next to him and realized that the customer service staff was not a big man using a voice changer.

Ignoring the woman's resentful gaze, she looked at Hong Qiang and said, "Please speak."

"I noticed you when you released your first song. Songs with such depth are really rare. After the Naruto serialization, I have been following it. I have always wanted to contact you to publish this comic. Adapted into an anime. I sent you many private messages, but you didn’t reply.”

Xiao Bosheng ignored Hong Qiang's first polite words and smiled awkwardly: "I don't read private messages very much."

Hong Qiang didn't care: "I came here with full sincerity. Please see the contract for details."

After saying that, he motioned to the beautiful woman next to him, and the woman took out a document from her briefcase and handed it to Xiao Bosheng.

The contract contained a lot of content, and Xiao Bosheng scanned it roughly.

After Naruto adapts the anime, he will receive a one-time copyright fee of two million, and 30% of the subsequent anime profits will belong to him. The conditions are not unfavorable.

Accordingly, in the future, comics can only be serialized on the Xiaopo website, and the update speed of two chapters per week must be guaranteed. At the same time, he must also serve as a consultant to the animation team, providing some screen and setting guidance, so that the animation team can create some original plots.

He didn't care about the other bits and pieces, they were harmless.

After closing the contract, Xiao Bosheng raised his head: "This contract needs to be changed."

Hong Qiang's eyes narrowed. The conditions they gave were already very good. Unexpectedly, this man was still not satisfied, and the woman next to him also looked unhappy.

Xiao Bosheng had a panoramic view of their expressions and could guess what they were thinking. He smiled helplessly: "I will not be the guidance consultant of the animation team, and there is no need. The plot-related settings that need to be used, I can send you a file later.

Original animation is not necessary. Since you follow comics, you should know that the speed at which you make animations may not be as fast as mine. According to my current update speed, it will be completed around August next year. The content is enough for you to make 720 episodes, with an average of about 20 minutes per episode."

When a comic is adapted into an anime, the reason for the need for originality is often because the update speed of the comic cannot keep up with the animation production, so the animation team will create original plots to slow down the pace.

But he didn't have to. The Naruto he drew was based on the content of the Earth's anime, and the reference was the content of the Earth's comics. The update speed is very fast, and the animation team has to complete several episodes a day to catch up with his update speed.

But is that possible?

Xiao Bosheng took out three lollipops from his pocket and handed them over. The two took them calmly. Hong Qiang couldn't help but said: "Can you really draw so fast? Don't you need to come up with a plot?"

Xiao Bosheng opened the remaining candy in his hand and put it in his mouth, pointing to his head: "The complete plot is here, no need to think about it anymore. As you become more and more proficient, the speed of painting will only increase. It’s coming faster and faster, and the manuscript in my hand now is almost half of the overall plot.”

The two people who ignored the surprise said: "In addition, I can also come up with ten theatrical version scripts in the future. These will not be updated as comics. I have one request. The last one will be released before July next year." The theater version is made.

When the comic is updated to that plot point, I will contact you to release the theatrical version as a supplement to the comic plot. You can produce and publish the rest according to the progress of the animation plot. "

"There are ten more theatrical versions?"

"Yes, there were originally eleven parts, but I don't plan to make a sequel, so I won't make the eleventh part."

"Okay. Is there anything else?"

"Gone"

"Okay, Xiao Li, let's draft the contract again."

The woman took out her notebook from her backpack and quickly started working on it. Hong Qiang was a little surprised. He originally thought that Xiao Bosheng was dissatisfied with the conditions given by him, but he did not expect that the other party was just unwilling to be a consultant, did not mention money, and even added a theatrical version of the script in exchange.

He drank coffee and stared at Xiao Bosheng, as if he wanted to see how this young man was different from others. Xiao Bosheng felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him, so he picked up the old contract on the table and looked through it.

"Oh, by the way, donate all these copyright fees and sales shares to me. I don't need them."
