Movie team
Mulan can be included in the list of the most expensive films not only in 2020, but also in the film industry as a whole, with an impressive budget of even $ 290 million, even by Hollywood standards. At the same time, most of it was spent on creating unique sets in New Zealand, where Since August 2018, the film has been shooting. The same specialists who were involved in the work on the third part of the Ragnarok Torah should work on their reconstruction in reality. It is also known about the crew that:
- The director was Niki Caro, who could appreciate the work of the audience on the work "Riding a Whale", "Wife of the Zoo Caretaker" "McFarland". She is the first female director from Hollywood to work on such a high-budget project.
- The producers of the tape were real professionals, including: Chris Bender (Butterfly Effect, We Millers 2), Barry M. Osborne (The Great Gatsby, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and William Coon (Fearless, “ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon ”,“ House of Flying Daggers ”).
- The adaptation of Chinese history to the screenplay was done by Rick Jaffa with Amanda Silver with the participation of Lauren Heinek and Elizabeth Martin.
Liu Ifei - the main character of the movie "Mulan"
Cast
The main role in the film "Mulan" in 2020 will be performed by the Chinese actress Liu Yifei, known to the viewer in the films "Forbidden Kingdom", "Outcast".
Interesting! To find the right actress, the assistant directors visited 5 continents, where they held meetings with nearly 1000 applicants. They had to meet the following requirements: proficiency in martial arts, spoken English, and relative popularity.
Liu Ifei has become an almost perfect candidate for Mulan. She is extremely famous in her homeland and has already managed to star in several English-language projects. In addition to her, other actors of the 2020 film and the roles assigned to them are known:
- a powerful witch and the main villain - Gong Li ("Memoirs of a Geisha");
- Captain Tang and Mulan's mentor, Donnie Yen (“Fat Dragon's Exit,” “Yip Men”);
- Chinese Emperor Jet Li ("Hero");
- military commander and villain Bori Khan - Jason Scott Lee (“The Dragon: The Story of Bruce Lee”);
- Mulan’s comrade-in-arms is Yoson Anh (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 2: Sword of Fate).
About the plot
The plot of the film "Mulan" is based on the ballad of the VI century about the brave warrior girl Hua Mulan, who pretends to be a guy and goes under the guise of a young recruit. The events take place during the attack on the Chinese empire by a warlike Hun tribe, when the emperor of China issued a decree on the mandatory entry of one of the men of each family into military service, and the refusal of execution threatened with the death penalty. The girl decides to trim her long hair and starts the whole story with changing clothes in order to prevent her elderly sick father from getting into the service and thus save him from certain death.She leaves the village under his name and does not even suspect that the future of one of the greatest warriors and savior of China awaits her.
On a note! The 2020 film will not be the first incarnation on the screen of the Chinese ballad: in 1998, the Disney cartoon "Mulan" was already presented, which earned more than $ 300 million at the box office and received nominations for the Golden Globe and Oscar.
An interesting plot detail is known - in the 2020 film there will be no Shan-Yu - the military commander and main antagonist Mulan, who is present in the 1998 cartoon. Instead, the main villain will be the witch, who at first glance will see the deception in the image of a young warrior. with the help of the appearance of such a character, the authors tried to bring the picture closer to the declared genre of Chinese fantasy with an emphasis on martial arts and provide an excuse for the appearance of supernatural characters and their abilities in the picture.
Shan Yu
In addition, in the film with Liu Yifei there will not be another cartoon character in love with the main character - Li Sang. But this does not mean that it will do without a love line. His picture will be replaced by a confident rookie Chen Honghui performed by Yoson An, whose game the audience will be able to appreciate in earlier premieres: Meg and The Chronicles of Predatory Cities. At first, Chen will be a loyal ally, and then the beloved of the main character.
Mulan will have to make every effort to protect his main secret and the name of his family in a dangerous campaign and fight enemies to keep his friends alive, and the country independent. To do this will definitely not be easy, because not only “human” enemies, but also supernatural beings will interfere with her.
It will be possible to see the results of the joint work of the actors and the crew and observe all the trials that fate throws to a brave girl no earlier than March 26, 2020. One can only hope that the named release date will be final and will no longer be postponed, as it once was.
