Disney finally chose an actress to star in the film adaptation of Mulan. In China, upon learning about the choice of the director, they reacted to the news with enthusiasm.
Disney has finally chosen the actress for the role of Mulan in the film adaptation of the classic cartoon of the same name. The special commission had to choose from more than 1,000 candidates for the main role in the film adaptation. The participants were required to know English and be proficient in martial arts. As a result, director Niki Karo decided to opt for Liu Yifei, aka Fairy Sister. By the way, it was she who played one of the main roles in the Forbidden Kingdom. The media reported that the news was received with enthusiasm in China.
At the moment, the actress is 30 years old. She grew up and was brought up in New York. She has already acted in films several times, and also managed to establish herself as a model and singer. Liu also starred in English-language cinema.
When choosing an actress for the film adaptation of Mulan, Disney representatives had to take into account the recent scandals with the epic "Great Wall" and the anime "Ghost in the Shell", the main roles in these films were played by non-Asians, and this caused a lot of indignation, especially in the East. Disney's petition that Mulan should be Asian has garnered over 100,000 signatures.
The classic cartoon "Mulan" was filmed in 1998 based on the medieval Chinese poem Hua Mulan, which tells the story of a girl who went to war instead of her old father. In China, this work has been known since the 6th century, but it was recorded only in the 12th century. Moreover, Mongolia has its own version of this poem and it is believed that the main character of the work belonged to their people. For this reason, a scandal has already erupted with local nationalists, who accused Disney of trying to rewrite the history of their state in favor of China.
