Bi Fang was momentarily stunned upon receiving the invitation, before he realized that more than a year had passed and another Spring Festival had come and gone, turning his age on the panel to twenty-six.
Over a year had passed since the acquisition of the intellectual property rights; indeed, it was time to show some results.
"I've got nothing better to do, might as well go take a look," he thought.
Back then, Disney spent thirty million to acquire the rights, which included an animated movie and three seasons of an animated series, as well as a series of related merchandise. This was a one-time payment for the rights, with no subsequent profit sharing involved.
Given Bi Fang's fame at the time, which was just beginning to show after four live streams in half a year, thirty million Ugly Gold was definitely a huge sum, directly providing the startup capital for Wilderness Club.
Otherwise, when this project could have been launched was uncertain, if at all.
