New Express News reporter Nie Qing reported that Liu Yifei's version of `` Hua Mulan '' was hot before it was released. Everyone wanted to see how Liu Yifei, who stood out after a rigorous casting process, performed. It is a pity that the grand publicity campaign was halfway due to the outbreak. Suspended, the schedule was adjusted from the original North American release on March 26 to July 24. Although the film has not yet been released, a sequel is already under planning. According to foreign media reports, an insider revealed that the preparatory work for the second part of "Mulan" has begun.
"Mulan" was premiered in the United States, and the response was very good. Some critics considered it to be Disney's best live-action film after "Cinderella". Liu Yifei, selected from more than 1,000 candidates around the world, deduces the beauty and power of women with her extraordinary toughness. Wonderful visual effects, plus fantasy elements, as well as the addition of Donnie Yen, Jet Li and , were praised as the "Epic of Martial Arts."
"Mulan" is based on the 1998 Disney cartoon of the same name. Hua Mulan disguised herself as a man and joined the army. She has withstood various tests and must use her inner strength to accept her true potential. This epic journey transformed Mulan into a respected warrior and won the respect of others.
Disney originally hoped that the box office of "Mulan" could reach more than $85 million in the first weekend. Now it is thinking about the sequel before it is released, which shows its confidence in this IP. There is not much room for the first story, and it is basically clear to the audience. Foreign media reported that the second one will be an original story, which has nothing to do with the legend of Hua Mulan or previous movies.
It is reported that the current producers Chris Bender, Jason Reid and Jack Weiner have all returned. Whether director Nicki Caro will return has not been determined, and the screenwriter has not yet been finalized. Some analysts believe that the smooth development of the sequel depends on the market performance after the film is released, especially the box office performance in China.
