Said to shoot a live-action version of "Mulan", but since the official announcement that Liu Yifei is the heroine, there is basically no news, and I think it is not filmed? Did you think there was no male protagonist? However, this morning finally officially announced this mysterious male protagonist. This Chinese actor yoson an from New Zealand.
This Chinese actor, it seems that he is also a rising star, there is not much information on the Internet, but his previous works are basically big guys, like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Sword of the Green Hell", which is a costume action film jointly produced by the American Weinstein International Film Company and the China Film Group Corporation, directed by Hong Kong director Yuan Heping, and co-starring Zhen Zidan, Yang Ziqiong, Shum Yongkang, and Jason Scott Lee. This movie is basically full of celebrities, so the background of yoson an may also be immeasurable! After all, there are few actors who can debut on blockbusters like him, including the male protagonist of "Mulan". This movie is also basically an old drama bone.
It is said that the budget of this movie cost 290 million, and there are Jet Li, Zhen Zidan and Gong Li starring, Jet Li playing the emperor, Gong Li playing the villain Witch, Zhen Zidan playing Mulan's master tung, this play can invite so many internationally famous actors must have spent a lot of money, and these people have reached the kind of person who can be invited without saying that money can be moved, such as Jet Li, the internationally famous "Kung Fu Emperor".
I think Liu Yifei and this Chinese actor pressure is also quite large, this time the director Nikki Carlo is also a person who has won awards at Cannes, so the requirements are also very strict, and Mulan has always been a symbol of our Chinese female compatriots, so it is not easy to play this role, this drama is also a lot of expectations! The film is scheduled to be shot in China and New Zealand in August of this year and will be released in North America on March 27, 2020. There is still a year and ten months or so to shoot and prepare, the time is not long, let's look forward to the new journey of the fairy sister together!
