Liu Yifei is a household name in China, and people like to call her because of her unique beauty? Fairy sister . Liu Yifei started her modeling career when she was 8 years old, and became popular in 23 because of the TV series "Golden Powder Family".

Disney director Nikki? Carlo chose Liu Yifei from thousands of actors from all over the world, aiming at the western and China markets, but when Mulan will be released in China has not been determined. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Dolittle, 1917 and Jojo Rabbit, which were originally scheduled, were withdrawn. 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 $2 million movie. In 1998, the animated film Mulan was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and Oscar, and sold for $3 million worldwide. This live-action movie has a very spectacular battle scene, but it still maintains the attraction of anime fans who have deep feelings for the original animated film.

director Carlo has directed the wife of the animal director and MacFarlane released by Disney in 215, and the production cost is less than one tenth of that of Mulan. Carol, a New Zealander, was not Disney's first choice. Disney had contacted Ang Lee, but Ang Lee was busy filming Billy? Lynn's midfield battle ",also contacted Jiang Wen.

Mulan's story has a profound influence on Carol. When she started directing movies, there were very few female directors. The current film has also broken the record of film cost in female directors, and there are three other female directors and Catherine who entered the billion-dollar film. Bigelow, Ava? Dewey and Patty? Jenkins. Mulan's crew members are also mostly women, photographer Mandy? Walker, fashion designer Pena? Daigler

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, launched online? Tell Disney that you don't need bleached Mulan? The topic has 11, signatures.

In October p>216, Carol began to cast a net around the world, looking for an actor who can play Mulan. She must be fluent in English and know martial arts. The Chinese producer told the director that such people can only be found in China, not in Japan or other countries.

All the selected actors went to Los Angeles for audition. Because it took a long time to select actors, the film originally planned to be released at the end of 218 was postponed until this year. Liu Yifei didn't attend the first audition because she 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 for 14 hours, she started a tense interview without a break, and never called out tired. Yifei is a real one? Soldiers? , is it me? Battlefield On the real partner! ? It seems that it is not enough to have abdominal muscles. When Liu Yifei dances with a sword, Mulan is afraid.

Liu Yifei had a role training in New Zealand for three months. After returning to China, she visited many experts and scholars and read Mulan Poetry for countless times.

The Chinese producer told the director not to pay too much attention to the historical accuracy of Mulan, who is fictional and not a historical figure.

In addition to Liu Yifei, well-known 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.
