JAKARTA - Disney released a long trailer for the live action film adaptation 'Mulan'. The two-minute trailer shows Mulan's struggle, played by Liu Yifei, in action on the battlefield.

Not a few netizens who respond to this live action version of the Mulan film will have a storyline that is much different from the animated film.

The answer is indeed correct, for this live action, the production team will focus on Mulan's main story to show Mulan's story as a warrior figure from China. In the teaser trailer, there is no Mushu and cricket as Mulan's friends, neither is Captain Li Shang.

Before starting production, Niki Caro promised to show Mulan with her character. Caro also decided to remove the thick musical parts of the animated version. He wanted Mulan to be a girly yet strong person. Through the long trailer, we can see a lot of martial arts moves that Mulan did in the trailer.

Mulan (Liu Yifei) will disguise herself as a man to fight in order to avoid her ailing father from serving in the Imperial Army. Mulan also fought to fight invaders from north in China. Despite changing the animated version, the main base story does not escape the attention of this film.

Apart from Liu Yifei, Mulan's films are filled with the names of great actors such as Rosalind Chao as Mulan's mother, Donnie Yen as Commander Tung, Jason Scott Lee as Bori Khan, Yoson An as Cheng Honghui, and Gong Li as Xianiang.

Liu Yifei as Mulan was also considered fitting after negative comments accompanied Yifei's announcement after being selected as Mulan. However, you can actually get the real answer after watching this film on the big screen.

Christina Aguilera's song Reflection for the animated version is also heard. It's just that the Reflection in the trailer is an instrumental orchestral version.

A few days earlier, soundtrack producer Mulan in 1998 uploaded a photo in the recording studio with Liu Yifei and wrote "'Reflection' record for 2020 release Mulan".

What are the chances of Liu Yifei singing Reflection for her live action? We'll just wait. Certainly, this film will no longer experience delays from the previous schedule, November 2, 2018. The film Mulan will air simultaneously on the upcoming 27 March 2020. Are you ready for the movie Mulan?
