The Dubber of the Old “Mulan” May Join in the Casting of the New Animation “mulan”

The old version of “Mulan” expects the new “Mulan” – Ming-Na Wen, the dubber of Mulan in the Disney animation “Mulan” told “Entertainment Weekly” about the live-action movie version of “Mulan” starring Liu Yifei, the film is being filmed, Wen Mingna said: ” Disney’s other animated live-action versions are very good, I like them, “Beauty and the Beast”, “Cinderella”, “Maleficent”, etc., so of course I am glad that they chose “Mulan” from Disney’s animations to make it into a live-action one. I think they will shoot it very well, while will surely keep the past legacies alive.”

As for whether she will have a role in the live-action version of Mulan, Ming-Na Wen cites the mantra of Jed Whedon starring Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: “What is the funny phrase? ‘I can’t confirm nor deny.’ Yes!”

Recalling the animated version of Mulan, Ming-Na Wen said that when she knew that Disney would make a traditional Chinese story into an animated cartoon, she was surprised and thought it was a good thing: “It is fantastic to make a good character and Chinese folklore stories into other forms.” By adapting ancient Chinese folktales into Hollywood films, Wen praised Disney for respecting the original works: “The original story is retained – ‘Hoping to protect her father, a young girl stood on the battlefield bravely and became a heroine. The story has always been so powerful. I have been to some animation exhibitions, where many people came for SHIELD and Melinda May, but there were also many women and girls coming to me for “Mulan” I dubbed. They told me how “Mulan” affects, motivates and represents them, which I had never thought of before. I only thought of the folklore. Now look at the Disney princesses: very independent without waiting for others to save, which is the great legacies Mulan has left.” She said she had very high anticipations for the real version of Mulan.

Ming-Na Wen also said: Thankfully, Asia / Asians related content is a hot topic in Hollywood because of “Crazy Rich Asians”!” She also starred in “The Joy Luck Club” (released in 1993) – the first movie made by mainstream movie companies and starred by Asians on Chinese-Americans. She said that she was proud to represent Chinese Americans in the film.

Now that Asians have made some achievements in Hollywood, Ming-Na Wen thinks it is very good. “In Hollywood, it is always about money, so if you can make money, they will take the initiative to find you. The film companies can make money through producing films that present positive outlooks of Asians instead of stereotypes, which is a progress.”
