Li Siduan is also a senior media person and is very good at asking questions. In fact, the two of them had already chatted for a while before the interview.

He said that the two also talked about a lot of policies related to animation, because Li was very interested in this matter; later Li asked a lot of sharp questions, and everyone must have enjoyed watching this kind of confrontation. He also said that he hopes to be able to do more and more exclusive interviews, but because there are so many invitations for exclusive interviews now, and he also has a lot of schedule, he is now seeking a balance. He is also very embarrassed for many units that are inviting invitations, and will schedule them as soon as possible.
