Why is "Mulan" so charming, attracting huge attention from all over the world?
01
Let us start with the popular "Mulan Ci". "Chirps and chirps, Mulan is the household weaving." "I don't hear the sound of the machine, but the woman sighs."
This familiar "Mulan Ci" brings back the memories of the millennium. In the rhythm of the ups and downs, we seem to see the golden horse, iron horse and war-torn era, a cardamom girl bravely killing the enemy on the battlefield.
In an era when men are superior to women, for women in the boudoir, three obeys and four virtues are the rules that should be followed, while marrying a child is a destiny that cannot be changed. and Mulan doesn't believe in fate.
For the elderly and inconvenient father, she went into battle and took the place of her father. she proved it with her actions"Who says women are inferior to men", there are eight battles, "Cehun's twelve turns".
She is the "heroine heroine" that the Chinese are proud of, and also represents the female spirit of courage and independence.
and Disney, it is precisely this spirit.

As early as 1998, Disney created the cartoon "Mulan" of the same name based on Mulan.
is different from Disney's princess who was born noble and awakened by a prince. Hua Mulan is Disney's first and the only "princess" without royal blood or identity. She respects her elders, but hopes to find her own value. She is witty and intelligent, and she is awed by everything in the world but she has her own judgment. She yearns for freedom and is eager to break through the barriers of feudal society to women.
She broke the stereotype of women in the patriarchal society, and for the first time showed her unique Chinese style and charm on the big screen, so that the characters in the old paper are no longer blurred.
Relying on the bold re-creation of the story of Mulan, "Mulan" received $23 million in box office after three days of release in the United States, and finally got a good score of 300 million in box office.
In addition, the film also won the 71st Oscar Award for best soundtrack nomination and the 26th Annie Award for Outstanding Personal Achievement Award of Animation Film Director.
The cartoon "Mulan" pushed Disney's feminist culture to the pinnacle, and led the emergence of a group of women with independent thinking ability and personality charm.
has set off a "Mulan" frenzy in the United States and even the world. In the year when the movie was released, McDonald's restaurant launched a limited edition derivative called "Mulan Sichuan Teriyaki Dipping Sauce", which was well received.
Until 20 years later, American people who have been obsessed with "Mulan" and its derivative "Mulan Sauce" strongly urged McDonald's restaurants to be available again. On the launch day of
, there was a huge crowd of people and it was a wonder. The global effect of "Mulan" can be seen.

Based on the cartoon, Disney is preparing to make the live-action movie "Mulan". On November 30, 2017, Disney officially announced that Chinese actor Liu Yifei had won nearly a thousand candidates and will play the role of Mulan.
According to "Empire" magazine, Liu Yifei's audition process is "very harsh."
"She has performed very well in the literary and drama part. In terms of physical fitness test, she raised the standard very high on the set and was tougher than all the boys around. They were all scared by her power."
and once filmed "Whales" and other female film director Nikki Carlo also publicly stated that "Liu Yifei is the best candidate for this film."
"Most of the martial arts scenes in the film were done by herself, she is the perfect Mulan in my eyes," said Nikki Caro. "The story of Mulan spans the ages. We not only hope to restore the 98 version. Classic animation content, we also hope to try our best to restore the original text in the Chinese Northern Dynasty folk song "Mulan Ci" to express our respect for the story and the northern background culture."
Liu Yifei, who has outstanding performance in "Kung Fu", believes that the action scenes and big scenes in "Mulan" must be nothing to say.
In addition to Liu Yifei, Gong Li, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Zheng Peipei and others also have important roles in "Mulan". Gong Li, who plays the villain "Witch", is full of aura from the beginning.
In the official stills released by Disney, Gong Li is dressed in black and has sharp eyes. In the trailer, the dialogue between her and Hua Mulan is full of wit, her moves are fierce, and her every move is full of "general style". Jet Li, who played the "Emperor", and Donnie Yen, who played the "Tutor" of Mulan, and Zheng Peipei, who played the animated version of "Matchmaker", also appeared in the trailer.
has such a group of skilled "old drama bones", coupled with its own good appearance conditions and temperament, excellent language advantages, " fairy sister", this time, I believe you will be able to surprise the world.

In the animated version, there used to be such a moving and beautiful melody. When Mulan was struck by reality and reprimanded "You are the shame of the family", she was confused and hesitated. Facing the pure lake, she began to use singing to reflect on her situation and the meaning of existence.
"Be yourself, or be the girl that everyone hopes for?"
Be yourself, you may be accused by Wanfu, you will bear all the incomprehensibility and reprimand, but you will never have to follow the rules for life. Finally, Mulan made a choice.
She chooses to be brave to live her own life, to pursue her own value rather than being a vassal of others. Perhaps, this is the meaning of "Mulan" itself.
In the year of the rise of super heroines, "Wonder Woman 1984", "Black Widow" and "Birds of Prey" will compete on the same stage, and the female power will be officially demonstrated. And "Mulan" is the best portrayal of Chinese spirit and female power.
Her awareness of independence and freedom, her deep love for her family and father, and the spirit of fighting for the country and the people have made her a female hero with the most special identity and the most powerful personality.
When the spring flowers bloom, "Mulan", we meet as scheduled.
