i hate to do this but this sounds exactly like jack ma is the personification of the "i was only pretending to be stupid" meme that is rampant in online culture

Would someone who was only pretending to be stupid pay millions of dollars to produce a movie in which they beat up Jet Li? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfS9Uf5SKu8

If you've got tens of billions, it's goofy to spend millions on silly projects, not stupid.

If you've only got a couple million, it's probably stupid to pay most of it to make a silly project (unless you can sell the results?)
