Qi Hao looked into this project and found that "Rurouni Kenshin" is adapted from the manga of the same name by Nobuhiro Watsuki and is being filmed to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the "Rurouni Kenshin" TV animation.
It is a very Neon-featured IP.
He invests in Korean films to make Koreans work for him, as he wants to make money from the Korean market.
And to expand his influence in the Korean film circle.
Even if films like "Architecture 101" or "Seoul Station" were to be released in the mainland, they wouldn't have much cultural and conceptual impact.
But something like "Rurouni Kenshin" is purely cultural import.
So Qi Hao decisively declined this collaboration invitation.
Furthermore, the system requires that he invests only if he can take the lead, and "Rurouni Kenshin" obviously didn't plan to relinquish control.
Such a collaboration wouldn't add value to his mission, and aiming to promote Neon culture, it's no wonder he refused.
