How about playing the swordsmanship of Mulan and Liu Yifei?

Liu Yifei is a household name in China. People like to call her because of her unique beauty? Fairy sister Liu Yifei started her modeling career at the age of 8, and became popular in 2003 because of the TV series "Golden Powder Family".

Disney director Nicky? Carol chose Liu Yifei from thousands of actors around the world, aiming at the western and China markets, but when Mulan will be released in China has not yet been determined. Du Lide, 19 17, and Jojo rabbits were withdrawn due to the COVID-19 epidemic. If it can't be shown in China, it will be an unimaginable loss for Disney.

The epidemic has put a lot of pressure on this $200 million film. Mulan, an animated film from 65438 to 0998, won the Golden Globe Award and Oscar nomination, with a global box office of $300 million. Although the battle scene of this live-action movie is spectacular, it still maintains the attraction of anime fans who have deep feelings for the original animation.

Director Carlo once directed The Animal Director's Wife and MacFarlane released by Disney on 20 15, and the production cost was less than one tenth of that of Mulan. New Zealander Carol is not Disney's first choice. Disney contacted Ang Lee, but Ang Lee was busy filming Billy? Lynn's midfield battle ",also contacted Jiang Wen.

The story of Mulan had a profound influence on Carol. When she first started directing movies, female directors was rare. The current film has also broken the record of film cost among female directors, and three other female directors and Catherine have entered a billion-dollar film. Eva Bigelow? Dewey and Patty? Jenkins. Mulan's crew members are also mostly women, photographer Mandy? Walker, fashion designer Pena? Degler

Although this is a China cultural film, the director must also consider the culture of Disney. At first people rumored that Jennifer? Lawrence will play Mulan, online? Tell Disney that you don't need bleached Mulan? The title actually has 1 10000 signatures.

On 20 16 10, carol began to cast nets all over the world, looking for actors who could play Mulan. She must be fluent in English and know martial arts. Producers in China told the director that such people can only be found in China, but not in Japan or other countries.

All the selected actors have auditioned in Los Angeles. Because it took a long time to choose the actors, the film originally planned to be released at the end of 20 18 was postponed to this year. Liu Yifei didn't attend the first audition because he was busy with TV series. Director Carol said that Liu Yifei was the best candidate for Mulan, and the main reason why she chose Liu Yifei was? After flying 14 hours, she started a tense interview without rest and never shouted tired. Yifei is true? Soldiers? , is that me? Real partners on the battlefield! ? It seems that abdominal muscles alone are not enough. Mulan was afraid when Liu Yifei was dancing the sword.

Liu Yifei had three months of role training in New Zealand. After returning to China, she visited many experts and scholars and read Mulan's poems countless times.

The producer in China told the director not to care too much about the historical accuracy of Mulan, who is a fiction, not a historical figure.

Besides Liu Yifei, famous international movie stars Donnie Yen, Gong Li and Jet Li co-starred. With such a wonderful story and such a strong performance lineup, it is no wonder that everyone is full of expectations for this masterpiece. I hope Mulan's murderous look can drive COVID-19 away and let everyone go back to the cinema happily.
