Li also said that he took up this role because of his daughter Jada, who is 18 years old.
Li told SMDN that he initially did not want to take up the role. But when Jada heard about it, she asked him three questions.
Apparently, Jada thought that Li didn’t want to take up the role because he didn’t think it paid enough.“She asked if I felt proud that Chinese culture could be shared with the world. I didn’t disagree. I do like to share Chinese culture with the world. Then she asked if I was lacking money. I replied that I wasn’t really lacking.”
Jada then added that Disney is investing a lot of money into shooting a Chinese story, with a [predominantly] Chinese main cast. She then asked, isn’t that promotion Chinese culture?
“I was dumbfounded when I heard it,” Li told SMDN. At the encouragement of his daughter, Li took on the role.
