Xia Haoyang suggested that Wu Jing should first gain 40-60 catties to film his real bloated, decadent and frustrated appearance for the role in "Dangal", and then lose weight to his current eight-pack abs, showing the heroic appearance of his youth; no stunts or special effects were used throughout the whole process. It sounds easy to say that he could become handsome again after a round, but the arduous process was not simple. The point is, is Wu Jing willing to work so hard for such a movie? You should know that sports themes are not very popular in the Chinese film industry.

"It can be seen that President Xia attaches great importance to this movie." Wu Jing said while holding the script of "Dangal".

"I'm interested in all three movies, and I believe all three will be popular. But in terms of box office, I'm most optimistic about Dangal," Xia Haoyang said confidently.

"I think the subject of '3 Idiots' will be easier to break out of the circle and the box office can be guaranteed," Wu Jing said with a smile.

"Sports themes? There doesn't seem to be any high-grossing domestic productions in recent years." Wu Jing's agent Xiao Liu said with a frown.

"Before Brother Wu Jing, military-themed films didn't have very high box office." Xia Haoyang said with a smile.

After hearing what Xia Haoyang said, the agent and Wu Jing looked at each other.

"Mr. Xia seems surprisingly confident about this film." Wu Jing looked at Xia Haoyang.

"Yes, I personally think that if this film is well made, it will cause a bigger sensation than 3 Idiots, or it will guide the development of sports-themed films in my country."

"Mr. Xia, actually science fiction films are the most popular domestic movies in recent years. To be honest, our Wu Jing currently has several film invitations from other companies. From what Director Liu said, if we accept them, we have to accept three at the same time. Can't we just cooperate on one or two films?" asked the agent Xiao Liu.

"Like I said just now, I am confident in these three movies, and I value them very much. These three films cannot be called a trilogy, but they are all good movies that can move people. I think they are also roles that an actor dreams of trying. Now there are three of them at once, and we should cherish them. Of course, we also know that Brother Wu Jing certainly has no shortage of resources or scripts, but I still hope that he can take all three at the same time. I want to see the same person play the leading actor in these three films." Xia Haoyang said in a somewhat stiff tone.

Even though Director Liu Chang often contradicts Xia Haoyang in private, he always remains consistent with Xia Haoyang in front of outsiders.

"Brother Wu Jing, and Mr. Liu, everyone can see the quality of the scripts of these three movies. They must be good movies. Over the years, the TV series and movies written by President Xia have never been bad, and President Xia is not a stingy person. He will definitely guarantee the best in terms of investment. We also firmly believe that Brother Wu Jing is the most suitable person to play the leading role in these three movies. I don’t know what films Brother Wu Jing is considering recently, but in terms of the scripts, I believe that the three we provide should be of the highest quality. As long as they are shot almost perfectly, they will definitely win the title of Best Actor." Director Liu began to use awards to tempt.

Wu Jing didn't say anything and kept smiling. After looking at his agent Xiao Liu, he nodded slightly.

So the agent Xiao Liu looked at Xia Haoyang and director Liu Chang and said, "We do approve of the film's script, but we still have a question to ask. How much will the film be paid?"

"According to the current market price, since we are here to invite Brother Wu Jing, the contracts for the three films will definitely be signed at normal market prices." Xia Haoyang said very seriously.

"Mr. Xia, do you know the current market value of our Wu Jing?" asked the agent Xiao Liu with a smile.

"I don't know, what do you think? Let's see if we can accept it."

"In fact, starting from The Wandering Earth, part of Wu Jing's salary will be treated as investment stock dividends for all the films he starred in, except for the films he co-starred with the United States. There are two reasons: one is that Wu Jing's salary is relatively high, so he can only use part of it in cash and part of it as stock investment. The second is because of Wu Jing's current box office appeal. The box office of a movie with or without Wu Jing is different. President Xia, you understand what I mean, right?"

What agent Liu meant was that he hoped Wu Jing's pay could account for a portion of the box office dividends. This is because the movies Wu Jing has starred in in recent years have indeed had high box office sales, and many fans come to the cinema to watch movies because of Wu Jing, so they want to get the corresponding rewards.

While Director Liu Chang frowned and hesitated, Xia Haoyang said without hesitation: "I agree. As long as Brother Wu Jing is willing to star in these three films, each of them will be 8000 million in cash plus 1% of the film's dividends as Brother Wu Jing's salary. How about it?"

Xia Haoyang's willingness to do so stunned manager Liu. Was he so straightforward? Didn't he need to bargain? Generally speaking, if you take on three movies at the same time, you can get a lower price.

The price given by Xia Haoyang is actually the salary for Wu Jing's latest movie.

"It seems that Mr. Xia is a straightforward person. This is the first time I cooperate with Mr. Xia, and I cannot let him suffer any loss. I don't want any dividends from these three films. I will sign the contract." Wu Jing said directly.

When Wu Jing made his promise, Liu's face was obviously conflicted, but he still held back and said nothing. Everyone present could see that Liu was dissatisfied, but Wu Jing just smiled and nodded at Liu.

"Brother Wu Jing, since this is a cooperation, then the interests of both parties must be guaranteed. You are now accepting box office dividends for every role you take. If I don't accept it, it will be inconvenient for you to film in the future. It doesn't matter, we will give you what you deserve." Xia Haoyang took the initiative to persuade Wu Jing.

"Mr. Xia, to be honest, let's take The Wandering Earth as an example. You may have seen that I am an investor in The Wandering Earth, and I also get box office dividends, but to be honest, I invested because I was cheated by the director. That guy was not a good person. The film money was spent and I couldn't find an investor. I was forced to do it. Later, several films were also due to funding gaps, big or small. I was forced to be an investor. It's just that I was lucky, the box office was okay, and I could receive a little dividend. Just now, Director Liu Chang guaranteed that your three films have stable financial support. If I still want your dividends, I would be asking too much. Besides, this is the first time I cooperate with Mr. Xia. 8000 million per film is not a small amount. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

As he spoke, Wu Jing stood up and extended his hand.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Before Xia Haoyang, Director Liu Chang took the initiative to stand up and shook Wu Jing's hand. Xia Haoyang looked at Director Liu Chang, who was afraid that Wu Jing would change his mind, and shook his head. He also stood up with a smile and shook hands with the two.
