MULAN: Yifei Liu On Daunting Audition Process At Disney Studios

Disney adapted the seventh-century ballad of Mulan into a blockbusting 1998 animated musical feature. The new "Mulan" is live action and song-and-dance free, but it does subtly reference the popular cartoon version.
The role of Mulan went to popular Chinese American actress Yifei Liu, who recalled auditioning for the part on the Disney Studios lot.
Veteran actor Jet Li portrays the emperor in the new film, and said he was most impressed by one message the movie adds to Mulan's centuries-old legend: Be true to yourself.

Wow Jet Li sounds the same as in The Forbidden Kingdom, from the trailers he's put on this really deep intimidating voice; "CRUSH THESE MURDERERS" that's amazing. Given the fact that it's him playing the emperor, I get the feeling that when he gets captured by the invaders he'll be fighting back against his captors somehow. I've seen b-roll of him all armored up and ready to go.

Jet Li mentioned about being true in line with the film. He applied that to himself. He was being compared to Bruce Lee, especially they have the same surname. Yeah Li of Jet is the same Li of Bruce. They also have some similarity yet I never see Bruce BUT JET LI. Do not live behind other's shadow. Be inspired by that person and keep in mind YOU ARE WHO YOUR ARE! You can even be better.

Yifei Liu is so gorgeous. I often day dream of her face on some sort of lover of mine like a silent film. She's saying something in pajamas. Maybe joking around but no sound. Unfortunately I don't have BARF like TStark so there is no audio at this time. I injured my back in my mid 20s after a tragic fall leading to a partial disability in my upper back. No plumber job or riding bikes for me. No rollercoaster or sex standing up. No Disney land or wooden swords. In my youth or maybe college years I had a few girlfriends I dated for a couple years. One was this gorgeous Filipino but we could never talk about anything really. Sweet girl just doesn't work out with my personality so she dumped my ass. I have this weird recurring nightmare were happy together but she needs a ride during an emergency. It starts sweet but my fingers can't use my phone to find her. I just stare at the screen and I can't text or call in a panic. I'm so relieved when I wake cause I hate that sorta shit. Why speak with this levity? Because not only am I injured beyond healing with 24 hour chronic fibromyalgia, but I'm also under attack. People keep hacking my games and computer scrambling things and talking to me through some bizzare frequency. People keep reving car engines and slamming things during my guitar rehearsal as well throw dead hummingbirds at me. People keep highbeaming me and flashing phone lights in my eyes. People keep getting in my way walking. People keep hitting and running my cars. I keep getting put in jail after people blatantly attack me. People hacked my painter program and music recording program indirectly canceling a novel and songs. 2 idiots beat me to the ground and stole all my belongings. Before all this I had trouble keeping steady work. Everyone always "let me go" after a few months for little to no reason. Despite my accuracy, polite communication and speedy delivery. My family and friends disowned me saying I was to emotional to work. I told them it was slander. They didn't believe me and I was separated from the pack. I lost everything after getting two famous follows on Instagram from Born of Osiris. Hacked and baited into my ultimate collapse. My guitar is so strong I'm surprised I'm not doing better. I was able to finish my 12 song masterpiece homeless. The songs will bring you back to when you first started loving music. It's like some weird magic. I practiced forever to create 1 guitar line songs. I pushed fret reach and chord slides like Tosin Abasi pushed sweeps. Just guitar, bass and drums. Someone is keeping me on a short leash and I cried for help for so long. Police, FBI, Instagram or KZbin. Eventually I lost my temper and said crazy things to get your attention that flagged me for hate speech. I want my beautiful Chinese wife. I want my albums to be recorded with tube amps. I want a job. This idiot has me at 1000 late payments at a shelter with no hope. I smoke till I'm sick. echozeta.blogspot.com/2024/02/version-1-prototype-template.html If you will not help who will? Where is Cap? Where is Hawkeye? I need Thor. I need Iron Man. Have I died with them? I tried to redo the 12 songs with a real Marshall amp but the amp and my guitar were broken.
